TRIBUTE TO MEMORY
OF AMERICAN CONSUL
Remarkable Demonstration by New
York Italians When cheneys'
Bodies Arrive.

New York, Jan. 30.-A remarkable
demonstration to the memory of Ar
thur S. Cheney, the American consul,
and Mrs. Cheney. who were killed in
the earthquake at Messna, was made
by the Italian societies of this city
yesterday. The bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cheney reached New York yesterday
on board the steamer Venezia. Escort
ed by several thousand members of
Italian societies, some of them in
regalia, and bearing huge wreaths of
flowers to the slow strains of funeral
music by military bands the bodies
of the consul and his wife were con-
veyed up Broadway in the presence
OF great multitude of persons who
thronged the sidewalks.
A notable feature of the procession
was the fact that except for the po-
lice escort and the relatives of Mr.
and Mrs. Cheney, it was composed ex-
clusively of Italians. Aside from the
presence of a representative of the
collector of the port the government
was unrepresented in the official re-
ception.
After more than a thousand refu-
gees of the stricken Italian district
had landed from the vessel the cas-
kets containing the bodies of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cheney were lifted from the hold
and carried by detachments of the
ships sailors to two large catafalques
which had been placed within large
Enclosure outside of the pier.
The ratings of the Enclosure were
flag-draped and after the rough pine
boxes had been removed large Ameri-
can flags covered the caskets. Col
Lowell Jerome represented the collect
or of the port at the pier
The caskets were placed in hearses
and start made for the ferry to
Manhattan. where the funeral cortege
was joined by other Italian societies
and the march to the Grand
Central station taken up. The bodies
of the late consul at Messina and his
wife will be taken to New Haven for
burial

of Street Trolley Crash.

Cincinnati, Feb. 1.-The snowstorm
and consequent slippery tracks is
given as the cause Of an accident here
Saturday in which two persons were
fatally injured and several other per-
sons were seriously hurt. A College
Hill main line car, with 81 passengers,
jumped the rails on Clifton avenue
and tumbled down a steep embank-
ment, landing at the bottom of ra-
vine, with mass of shrieking, fight
Ing men, women and children caught
under it or hurled from platform or
through windows. More than a score
of passengers were injured, some very
seriously. That some were not in
stantly killed is considered remark
able. The motorman, Joseph E. Multi
gan, was dying and Lieut. Poppe was
fatally hurt.
Motorman Mulligan died at the City
hospital
To his bravery can be laid the in
1uries to Pope, who is chief of detect
ives. He tried to help the motorman
to regain control of the car. He
was working with the brake when the
car jumped the track. Poppe stuck to
his post. as did Motorman Mulligan.
Pope was formerly in the regular
army, having been awarded a medal
