He bad been on a spree in the oity and the Coroner arrived at tbe opinion that his death re sulted from exposure. Later tt was re ported that there bad been foul play. The body was exhumed and a post-mortem examination showed tbat his skull had been fractured, causiug his death. Horace Summers, a young farmer, testified that he was with Sam Ramsay when the latter knocked Van Creasy down and kicked him. Ramsey lives overtbe lino in Illinois.

The engine was pushing the oars before it through a meadow where some yearling calves were. One ot them triad to cross, and before tho train could bo stopped or the calf get over tho track, seven oars wore p iled up ia a promiscuous heap, some of them being turned, and one oar put completely inside of another. The conductor and brakeman made a narrow escape by jumping. D. C.

Washington dispatch: The ceremonies of Congress in commemoration Of tne centennial of the inauguration of George Washington were iield Wednesday in tho hall ot tbe House of Representatives. The hall had been especially arranged for the occasion, its usual seating capacity being trebled by the introduction of additional chairs. The galleries were filled with the families of Congressmen, and Cabinet ofheera, and government officials, and presented a brilliant Spectacle. Seats bad been provided in front of the Speaker's desk for the Fresidsnt and- Cabinet, Vice-President, Speaker of the House, Justices of the "Supreme Court the Hon. George Bancroft, cole--bratad historian, and others' of official prominence. Members of the Senate and House occupied seats In the chamber, where places where also provided for the CHJZF JTSMCB FUlXErt. diplomatic representatives, officers ofWthe army and navy, and members of the PanAmerican and maritime congresses. The address of the occasion was delivered by Chief Justice Fuller and occupied nearly two hours in delivery. The distinguished speaker, began by reference to the great celebration ia New York city in April last; He then touched upon tha chief historic events immediately preced ing and following the inauguration of Washington, discussing: them with refer ence to their bearing upon the welfare of tho nation which was thus being developed. , Tbe availability of Washington at the crisis at which he exchanged the sword for tho duties of the chief magistrate was one of those providential blessings so often bestowed ou this nation. The promotion of human happiness was the keynote of the century in which Washington lived. In discussing his administration Mr. Fuller spoke especially of tho wisdom displayed in his choice of a cabinet and his selection ot members of the Supreme court, After discussing at length the character and official work of Washington Justice Fuller traced briefly tbe history of tbe nation through the century, especially dealing with the period of civil war from which it emerged still one nation. The speaker closed with reference to the great responsibilities of the nation and important issues presented for its decision. The new century, be said, may be entered upon in a spirit of optimism bold in fearlessness of the faith whose very conscious, ness of limitations of the present asserts tne attainability of the untraveled world ot a still grander future LAID AT KESTBY FIUENDS. Imposing Obsequies vi or the remains cl Jefferson Davis. A New Orleans (La.) dispatch says: Tho funeral of Jefferson Davis, which took place in tbe Metaire cemetery where his body is temporarily place.1 in the tomb of the Army of Northern Virginia, was one ot the moat imposing and the most memorable in many respects that has ever been witnessed in the South. It recalled to tha minds of many of tha older people who were present the grand outpouring of the Southern people and the universal sorrow and affection displayed on that other notable occasion, more than thirty-five years ago, when all that was mortal' of another greatly beloved Southern leader, John C. Calhoun, was consigned to the grave. Leaving aside all criticism 01 Jorrorson Davis, either personal or political, his burial marks, in the history of this country, the final olose in a historical point of view the last chapter of that tumultuous revolution with which Davis' name is inseparably connected, and in consequence of which the historian of the future will pass judgment upon and assign a place to the man whose memory received such universal and spontaneous tributes of affection from the entire Southern people. Trains leading into tho city as well as the steamboats plying between here and points on the river for hundreds of miles, poured out into the depots and river landings a constant stream of men, women and children, military and civil organizations, and members of Confederate veterans' associations from everv State in the South. 1 he cotton excuange, IM bancs, and all the city buildings were closed and all were heavily draped, with emblems of mourning. Tbe preliminary funeral services were held on the large portico of the city hull, which overlooked Lafayette square, and were conducted by Bishop Gallaher of the Epis opal diocese ot Kaw Orleans, who was assisted by Bishop Thompson, of Mississippi, Dr. Markham ot tbe Presbyterian church. Father Hubert of the Catholic church, and Dra BakeweB and Martin.-' After the reading of the service for the dead by Bishop Gall alter and some short eulogistic reparks, from other divines, a surpliced choir selected especially for the occasion sung Sullivan's anthem, "Though I walk through tho valley of the shadow of death" Every available inch of space in the square and about the buildings was densely packed, and tbe streets centering at the ball were impassable, though the police arrangements for the preservation of order Wei's so complete that contusion was avoided. The city hall itself was coverod with a profusion of flags at halt mast, gracefully draped with black, while over the doors of the main entrance were suspended Immense billows of crape. The procession, composed as follows, began to move about noon: First division A detail of city police, military escort of all uniformed organizations, the olorgy in carriages, followed by tho body of Mr. Davis, which was placed on a caisson drawn by six horses, richly caparisoned. Second division Veterans' associations. Third Division Officials of tbe State of Louisiana and otlloials of this and other cities. Fourth division Musonio order, Knights of Pythias, and other civil organizations. Sixth division Fire" department Seventh division Other organizations. Kighth division Colored associotiona A notable feature was to be soon in that portion of tho procession in which marched the detachment ot veterans of the Grand Army ot the Ropublio, a touching tribute which was cordially appreciated by ail who were present. Gen. John B. Gordon was grand marshal of the day, and was assisted by a staff composed ot some of the distinguished friends and associates of Mr. Davis. Upon its arrival at tho cometery the full services of tbe Episcopal church were read, and several eloquent tributes were paid by the olltciating clergy, after which the choir chanted "Rock ot Ages." At the olose of t'ie ceremonios the coflin, upon whioh was placed the sword presented to Mr. Davis for meritorious servi'?o in the Black Hawk war, was placed in tha tomb, a salute was fired by a detachment of tho Wasuinraan ardllory, and tho '.lootof the tomb clo-Stf forever upon tbe body of a man into whose life had bea woven the black woof of tragedy.

CRUSUED'IN A THEATER.

A DOZEN I.IVEg LOST IN A MAO XfAWtC-: Scares Crushed aii'd Ti niupled by a Surging Mass of Hmnaiilry, Iftenilered Wild by n False Alarm of Flni In a Johnstown' Opera Hottse. A Johnstown (Pa.) dispatch says: As tbe performance 06 "Uncle Tom's Cabin' was drawing Sfc.-clijio " in the Main street opera pde stlo fire bell was rung, causing a frantic scramble for the exit. There were 500 or 600 men, women, and children i tn hall, and te gain tho stree(ji it was neoeasary to pass down a narrow, walled-up staircase and through a very narrow door. Th people from tbe streets rushed into tba door from tbe outside and many were crushed before they could be forced out. It . was uecelsary to turn: the hoso on tbe crowd at the door before the rescuers could gefj at tbe dead ami wounded. When the crowd was rrweV aura jPHhe -following persons were round dead upoa tbe stairs: E. BKJLKft. . Ml.8 CLARA BCRSS. MBS. N ESTER. GKOItOE HORNEB. OITAULES FilAINT. WILLIAM H1LLEB, colored. JOHN CABI. GKGRGE KTONAKFB, of Mount Pleasant. LIZZIE CLAVCOMB. A. FLEAS1IOUR. ISAAC TO LOR. An unknown woman. Among the seriously injured were: t'HAiti.ns Vaughn. John Wki.mkh. a lbkut owkns. MBS. I.I6TB11. IB. 1'tATT. IllCHAHD WOttTItlNOTOW. 1'I.AHEWK EXOBBRT. Lfavis Bi;sDr. ' 11 JOns 'DE vis. There are about seventy-five others injured, but their names can pot be ascertained; . " 1 The dreadful visitation came upon its victims with even less of warning or time for preparation than the awful deluge ot May 31. The Johnstown opera-house wai opened to the public less than a fortnight ago. . Stetson's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" wa the play, and there was a large audience present considering tbe very limited mean! which Johnstown people now find at theft command for -any kind of amusement pur,. roses. During the performance tha cry of fire was raised. To a people to whom any sudden warning might mean so much to those who had ?o recently passed through the horrors of the greatest flood of the century. this cry was terrifying in the extreme. It spread like wildfire itself, and was on every lip in an instant Horrified ana panic-stricken the hundreds of people ia the audience rushed over seats, struggling bodies, and everything toward the . on means of oxit. This was only a smgU narrow stairway, and over one anothet headlong, the frightened people plunged, regardless of consequences. When the calaminity became known and before the dead and wounded could be taken out people rushed from the ontsiae up the narrow stairs and were crushed by the ciowd forcing its way to the street. i'y 1: '5 o'clock nine dead bodies had been recovered from the wreck of the stain and auditorium and dozens upon dozen) of tho injured had been assisted to doctors' offices aad drug stores for relief and restoration. By 3 o'clock twelve dead bodies bad been counted out and it seemed as if the number might yet be swelled possibly doubled. " ' The number ot in jured at this hour hai reached sev enty-five and there has been as yet only the most superficial and hasty searches for either tbe retcued or dead. When the jam occurred a large numbei of persons, thinking the fire was in th opera house, tried to get into tbe theater, making another jam, and it was necessary for tbe firomen to turn tha hose on tin crowd to get them away from the door. Tho screams were terrible and it wai shocking to son small children knocked down by big men and trampled upon. Tho theater has always been noted as death trap, and was condemned twelve years ago, but tha other one was washed away In the flood-and this one has been is use. The manager tried to quiet the crowd, but it was no use. One man jumped from the third-story window and was seriously hurt, and many more would hare jumped but for a tew cool beads. It is reported that the police injured several persons in trying to clear tbe jam. All the dead wen -taken to Henderson's morgue aad all wars identified. . Co: oner Evans and jury of six men "Viewed the remains and came to the decision that the victims came to their death by being crushed and mangled in Parke '1 opera house. . Among the killed was a colored man ot Chamliersburg, la, aged IV; Stouaker ol Mount Pleasant was 20; Lizzie Claycomb, 1!); Clara Burns, 111. Mr. Burns, mother of Clara, aged 40, was killed. Isaac Tolor was AO; George Horner, 11; Mrs. Nester, 25; E, Bigler & It is likely that the officials will close the opera bouse, altuouch bad the crowd kept their wits about thinn not one would have been hurt. An unknown man in the boys' gallery did a great deal in keeping the people from jumping from the third story windows and doubtless saved many lives. Blame is pat on the itreman who rang the Johnstown fire-bell, as the fire' was in Kernville, but he is not to blame. Postmaster Baumer, Policemen Becker, Btmn n, Harris, and others acted nobly in rescuing the injured. Women and men Mike wore frenzied, and there was righting ok Main street while those inside 'vare being llIeC It was over two hours tfter the j a wk before the hall was cleared, and some ofha injured and dead were l.flnj In the buying an hour after the crash. Most of vB injured were taken to tho adjoining stores and properly cared for. Tho excitement is intense, There 'ire several porsons missing, all ladies, but owing to tho confusion their names can not be ascer Kined. A large number of saloons were open until 19 o'clock and drunkeuness added to the horror of the scenes. Had not the hose been turned on at tbe proper time it is hard to tell what would have been the result The bouse is a small, three -.story, brick building, fronting ou Main street and, like the routh-fork reservoir, has always been considered unsafe. While the new one was in operation it was little used and had but a small exit from tbe second story by a narrow pair of stabs to the Street. It had no fire escape. OLIVKli JOHNSON DEAD.
