afternoon the citizens of Lewes and
vicinity unveiled, with appropriate
ceremonies, monument that will
commemorate the bombardment of
Lewes by a British fleet during the
War of 1912 between Great Britain
and the United States.
The bombardment of .Lewes. by fif-
teen vessels comprising the British
blockading squadron, occurred on
April 6, and S, 1913, in consequence
of the persistent refusal of the town
people to supply the invading vessels
with food. The defense was by Della
ware troops, under the command OF
General Samuel B. Davis, and inflicted
more damage upon the vessels than
the latter inflicted upon the town. II
is matter of local tradition that the
only casualties on shore were the kill
ing of a COW, pig and a chicken.

Quebec, June 2.-The first public
funeral of victims of the collision be-
tween the steamer Empress of Ireland
and the collier Storstad is to be held
Wednesday, when the bodies of nine
of the crew will be buried.
Mayor Napoleon Drum, aided by
Canadian Pacific officials and promi-
nent men of the town. is arranging
Tor the ceremony, which will be an
imposing one. There is to be a public

whether in Montreal or Quebec haS
not yet been definitely decided.
Disputes on Wharf
The number of disputes that have
arisen in the funeral shed is a sur
prising feature of the Identification
work that has been going on there.
In one case no less than five persons
contended for the possession of one of
the little girl victims, with the result
that when the pier was closed last
night the body was still classed as
unclaimed.
So altered are the features of the
dead that many mistakes are made.
Some who were sure at first that they
had recovered the bodies of dear ones
later Wavered in their belief and some
times even returned to affirm their
previous impression.
curious case was that of Mrs.
Price of New Zealand, who had been
identified by her niece Miss Townsend,
of New Zealand. Somewhat of a
dilemma was created when fifteen or
sixteen of the Empress crew arrived
on the scene and claimed the body as
that of Miss Leder. formerly stew
ardess of the ill-fated steamer. While
the seamen were insistent in their
identification it was Miss Townsend
who won the day. as she swore posi-
lively that the jewelry worn by Mrs.
Price was known to her. and she was
hacked up by Mr.. Webber, of the Ca
madam Pacific Railway. who knew
Mrs. Price personally.
Bodies MutiIated
Some of the bodies have been so
mutilated by being battered that those
who identified them as men were told
that they We're those of women. The
reason for the mistake was that the
hair had been drawn back tightly.
One body identified late yesterday
was that of Leonard Palmer, the Lon
