W ASHINOTO.V, Feb. 18.—Tlic funeral of cliu late Admiral Porter occurred from his residence on Tuesday and ms attended by the President, members of the Cabinet, naval officers and officials, the former in uniform, and many members of Congress, as well as numerous visitors from other points who came here to attend the obsequies.

The naval regulations providing for the funeral of an Admiral were followed as nearly ar possible, but there were not enough men on duty to make up the complement stated in the rules, which is 5,000. The cortege formed as follows: Ouo bundred murines from tlie burrocks here and Annapolis. Five hundred cavalrymen and artillerymen from

Washington

barracks and Fort Myer.

SI* hundred mom burs of the locul Urnud Army posts. Six hundred Infantrymen from the district National Guard and naval O. A. K. posts from Philadelphia, of which Adnilrul Porter was a member.

All the officers of tlie navy in tliis city attended tlie funeral in full uniform. The sevices were held at the house because Mrs, Porter was not iu condition to go to the church. Rev. Dr. Douglass, of St. John's Church, officiated. As the accommodations at the house were limited the invitations to the services were necessarily confined to the personal friends of the family and the officials of the Governmont. The body was borne by eight sailors from the receiving ship Dale, now at the navy-yard. The honorary pall-bearers were*

Vice-President Morton, Seuator Mandercon of Nebraska, Senator McPherson of New JorBey, Senator llawlcy of Conneotlcut, Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania. Major-General Schofield United Stales urnt.r,Rear-Admiral Rodgcrs United States navy, Rear-Admiral Howell, Rear-Admiral Crosby. Rear-Admiral Stevens. Rear-Admiral Almy, ltenr-Admlral Worden, Rear-Admiral Jmiett, Roar Admiral Queen. General Joseph K. Johnston lato Confederate Stales army, Representative Boulelle of Maine.

The funeral services were those of the Episcopal church. The remains of the lute Admiral were dressed in full uniform with G. A. 11. badges on the breast and also the -decoration of the Sons of American Revolution and the badge of Porter post of Massachusetts. They rested in a casltet of royal purple velvet with silver handles and ornaments. Upon a silver tablet on the lid was the following inscription

DAVID D. POTITKH,

Admiral United States Navy, Horn June 18. 1R13. Died Fobruary 13, 18U1.

It was the Admiral's wish often expressed during his life that after death his body should not lie in state. The body, therefore, was not exposed to general public view. It was also his wish that ho might be buried from his home, which was done.

The interment was in Arlington Cemetery. THE DEAD SOLDIER.

NEW YORK. Feb. 18.—The final preparations were completed for the disposition of the body of General Sherman prior to the funeral on Thursday afternoon. The undertaker and his assistants were busy [ill the morning at the house in Seventy-first street and their task was finished at noon. The body of the old General was dressed in the full military uniform of his rank and placed in the coffin, which was brought to the house last night and from which it will never again be removed. When this task was accomplished the coffin was carried down-stairs to the front parlor, where it is to remain until the funeral ceremonies take place. It is covered with a somber drapery of black, and in the darkened room tall wax tapers are kept burning, in accordance with the customs of the Catholic church. Tile last rites will be performed by Father Taylor, of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, and his assistants. The coflin is of oak lined with creamcolored satin and covered with black cloth. The only ornaments are the handles of polished silver at the sides and the silver platc-upon the lid, upon which this inscription is engraved:

WI I.I.I AM TLXUMSV.II SlIEIIUAK, GENBttAl. U. 8. A., HORN I'EII. S. lfS!0.

IIIKI) FKD M, 18V1.

The casket is exactly similar to the one iu which the wife of the General was buried only a few years ago.

The General looks quite natural in his last sleiThere is a Might discoloration and the face is but little swollen. On the black lid of the casket is folded an American ilagon which rests the General's hat and gold-hilted sword and scabbard presented to him at the close of the war by the State of New York.

The regular military guard remains on duty'» the front hall, while a special squad of New York's tallest policemen keeps the people in line.

Generals O. 0. Howard, Daniel Butterfield and Henry W. Slocum, the committee in charge of the funeral of General Sherman, have issued an order of funeral arrangements. The regulation escort, under command of Colonel Looinis L. Langdon, 1* irst Artillery, will consist of one regiment of infantry, to be composed of a battalion of United States marines, four companies of United States engineers and six companies (foot batteries) of artillery of the army and of two troops of caval'rv from the National Guard of the city of New York. The remains will be received by an escort at the late res* idenceof the General, 75 West SeventyFirst street., at clock p. m.

A telegram from P. T. Sherman to Commander Hipley. of Hansom Post, requests thai, a place of honor should be given the veterans of the Thirteenth United States Infantry, of which General Sherman w:is the first Colonel. Commander ltipiey has accordingly requested the survivors of the Thirteenth to join Hansom I'ost.

A guard of honor composed of Commander Ripley and other officers will leave here Friday evening for ludianupolis on a special ear to escort the funeral train to this city. Colonel Rassieur, Department Commander, Grand Army of the Republic of Missouri, has issued invitations to every Grand Army post to be represented at the funeral, and ic is expected that a large number of veterans will be present.

At Tuesday afternoon meeting of the executive committee General Merritt was selected as grand marshal, he having signified his willingness to serve. The line of march selected is as follows: From Union depot to Lucas square, where the cortege will form, west on Pint1 street to Grand avenue, north on Grand avenue tr, Florissant avenue and thence to Calvary Cemetery.

The question has been raised as to whether or not General Sherman can be buried In Calvary Cemetery. A high church official is authority for the statement that even though the last rites of the church were not administered his failure to receive such rites would Interfere in no way with his interment in Calvary, only a portion of the cemetery being consecrated. That part of the burial ground in which Mrs. Sherman was interred is not consecrated.

KA IR. OF TILL' THOMAS sll! KIOCIC, CINCINNATI. .. Feb. is.--The steamer Sherlock on Tuesday struck a Kentucky pier of the Chesapeake & Ohio bridge while going down the river on a trip to New Orleans. Sh* had on board thirty passengers and a crew of fifty or sixty. The boat went to pieces and lloated down to Fifth street, where she sunk. She had on board 400 tons of freight. The cabin floated down the river, and at Riverside some of the crew got ashore in a skiff". Some were rescued at Fifth street. It is not known how many are lost. A harbor steamer went down the river in search of the missing people. The floating cabin was caught at Riverside, several miles below the city. As many as were left were ha:-ti!y taken aboard and returned to the city. Mrs. McLean, of l'ittsbnrglu was instantly kilied by falling freight at the time of the collision. Her little, granddaughter was dmwned, and it is now certainly known that they were the only persons lost of the twenty-one registered passengers. It is not known whether all of the nine unregistered passengers were saved. It is believed that every one of the officers and crew were rescued. In regard to the cabin and deck clerks then* is much uncertainty. Persons are reported having escaped to the shore for quite a distance along the river. The rescued nre so scattered about on both sides of the river that it is impossible to make a list of the living and lie missing, due or two of the passengers were thrown into the river by the shock when the steamer struck the bridge, but two young men who ventured out in skiff's from the Kentucky shore rescued them. There were fourteen women among the passengers and some of them are in a badiv prostrated condition. The Sherlock is a total loss. It was use,d in the Cincinnati and New Orleans trade, was valued at .SJ.r,000, and belonged to the Cincinnati A:. Mig Sandy Packet Company.

The blame for the accident has not been tixed. but it is said that the pilot was drunk, and some of the crew declare that lie was unfit, to handle the boat.

PtT*sin'it(ii!. Pa.. Feb. IS.- Pittsburgh and Allegheny have been visited by a, flood that will cause losses of at least STMKono. They may even amount to Si,000,0110. These, figures include estimates of direct damages and consequential losses in every ela^s of trade ami life, a feature of the Hood which it is impossible to measure with absolute accuracy. The tlo«_.d has turned between Il.uOO and 4,000 families in the two cities and their environs out of their house and home. It has completed the temporary closing down of over a hundred iron mills, glass houses and manufacturing' establishments, large and small. It has'crippled and delayed traffic on every line of railroad entering the city. It liav tied up every system of street railway' crossing from

Allegheny to Pittsburgh. The most startling incident of the flood occurred on River avenue. Allegheny. at'J.Uo.Tuesday morning. The entire front .'of'.-a.-) two-story brick house belonging •"•'to Samuel and William lla/.lett, tr.o brothers, was blown out by a natural gas explosion into 'the four feet of water surrounding it. Hundreds of people rushed to tin.' scene, though boats bad to b«? used to get there. There was plenty to do. Five persons were hurt, but almost by a miracle no one was killed. James Fletcher is the only one whose injuries may prove fatal, lie was crushed between the window-frame and the wall and when taken out was spitting blood.

The floods have gotten all. the railroads entering Pittsburgh and Allegheny into a sorry mess. Traffic on the Pittsburgh Western road is almost. entirely .suspended. From Sharpsburg lie tracks ar covered with from four to six feet of wafer. Early Tuesday morning all the available teams and wagons were brought into requisition. and such perishable freight as was stored' in the ho.v-cars in the yards was removed as expeditiously as possihie.: However, the rise of the Allegheny was so rapid that a large number of car.- Acre submerged before the army of workmen were able to reach hem, and of course the contents of such cars area total loss. The loss sustained by the company will be heavy, but at present the officials are unable to give any figures.

Pittsburgh A- Western passengertrains have been coming-in since Monday night on the West Pennsylvania tracks. The latter company has a bad land-slide near Ulairsville. and near Saltsburg its road is under four feet of water. No through-'- trains were run. The Baltimore A Ohio has had several land-slides, and-through trains are from eight to -ten hours late, dn the Pan-Handle no trains have been able to reach Washington. Pa., since Monday, owing-fo heavy washouts on the Charticrs brrneh. The Pennsylvania has a washout, on the Sewickle3r branch and is also having trouble along the Conemaugh. above Johnstown, where but one track is available, thus delaying all through train».

River avenue. Mlcgheny, has been not unlike a street in Venice. Roats, skiffs, rafts and hastily-improvised floats were to be seen everywhere. Every few minutes a skiff skimmed *v to the door of a house and then. heavily laden with men, women and children, pushed off to gain some point of safety. In other places furniture was being hastily removed from second-story windows, piled on floats and carried beyond the reach of the rap-idly-rising and angry waters. Along all the streets leading from the river the same busy see no was presented. The lower Moors of all the tcnem.'iU-houMs which line either side of MadUon. Oakley. Corry streets and Isabella court were filled with »\es. barrels and chests floated from cellar openings, and in many instances household furniture bobbed around on the muddy water. On River avenue, between Sandusky and Anderson streets, there is at least five feet of water. The entire force of employes a4 the

Pennsylvania cotton mills became a corps of rescuers, and iu a short time hundreds of bales of cotton which bail been stored on the ground floor of the works were removed. All the express wagons in the city were busy from dawn until after dark carrying household goods ami affrighted families from their Hooded homes to where the rising waters couldn't reach them. It is estimated that fully H.000 persons living along the river front were compelled to quit their dwellings. All of them are of the poor class, and the loss to them will be enormous in the aggregate. The precipitate evacuation of home was not the only loss they suffered.

All along the Allegheny side, from Sharpsburg to Reaver avenue, a distance of live miles, countless large and bmull manufacturing establishments,

furnaces and mill- located on the river front are in enforced idleness. Ou the Pittsburgh side of the Allegheny tlie tianunre was by no means slight. From l.awreneeville to the Point bridge, where the Ohio takes up its course, merchants, manufacturers ami the occupants of dwellings have b&m heavy losers. Hundreds of storehouses along Pennsylvania avenue, Duqiiesnc way. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets have had their basements flooded. At Armstrong's big cork factory the water was three feet, in the basement, engine ami boiler-room. As a result the works suspended operations. About 11 o'clock the water began coining into the foundry at Carnegie's Twcnty-njutt utroct mill, and in less than half an hour it was four feet deep, causing a suspension of work.

JoiiNstowN, Pa.. Feb. IS.—The water is gradually receding from the streets and all danger of further damage is past. The damage done to property will amount to thousands of dollars. Already merchants and others have begun pr.uiping the muddy water from their basements ami trains have begun to run on traeks that are still covered with water mote than two feet deep.

CINCINNATI,

O., Feb.

IS.—River men

here think that unless more rain should fall the flood iu the Ohio is at its height. The river is falling here with 4f» feet 3 inches in the channel. Tin* rccciit rains appear to have missed the Kentucky and Wot Virginia tributaries of the Ohio.

Srni-,\i f'i AIM'. N. Y., Feb. IS.--There is a gorge iu the Mohawk river near here. The river is rising ten feet an hour and nothing but tree, tops tell where the islands are.

WnKi.MNo. W. Va., Feb. 18.—The greatest flood in many years is expected here. Reports from all sections of the State indicate unusually heavy rains, and the streams are rising rapidly. All the railroads entering the city are blocked by landslides ami communication is almost entirely cut oil' in every direction. ,/

Ilri,i:N.\. Arlf. '"Veb. IS.—The continued rise in the river at.this place lias caused considerable anxiety in certain localities. In the neighborhood of the Williamson plantation the levee is unsafe and an attempt will be made to repair it. ftt'HitliinlsHioi! Defeated.

BisM.wtrK, N. D.. Feb. 18.- Another sensation was caused Tuesday by the action of tlie Senate on resubmission and capital removal. The Missouri slope members joined forces with the Prohibitionists to save the capital for Bismarck and defeat resubmission. Resubmission was defeated by a vote of IS to 12 and the removal of the capital by *J-1 to f. and both questions are settled for two years.
