RESTS IN RICHMOND.

Final Interment of the Remains of Jefferson Davis.

HIS BIER COVERED WITH EOWERS.

Fully 75,000 l'ersons (father to Honor to the South'* Dead Chieftain —Services at the Grave

Were Simple.

ARRIVAL OF THE RK5IAIN8. RICHMOND, Va., June 1.—All that 1S mortal of Jefferson Davis now rests in Hollywood. The special train from New Orleans bearing the remains and escort arrived here Wednesday, morning. At the depot the First regiment and the veterans from Lee and Pickett camps were drawn up to do honor to the distinguished dead, while thousands of men, women and children, some of whom had been waiting for hours, testified their appreciation of the occasion by the most respectful silence. As the casket containing1 the body was removed to Ihe hearse heads were uncovered. The procession then proceeded with the visiting escort of veterans from various southern states from the post of honor to the state capitol building, where the body was placed in state in the rotunda immediately in front of the senate chamber. Lee camp performed the duty of guard of honor. Here it remained until 3 o'clock, and it is estimated that at least 25,000 people viewed the bier. Indeed a stream of humanity poured through the building as long as it was accessible to the public.

Children Bring Flowers.

During the hours set apart for the children of the public schools 6,000 of these alone marched past, presenting a touching and beautiful sight as they dropped their floral offering at the foot of the casket.

To the Tomb.

At 3:30 o'clock the body was removed to a hearse drawn by six white horses caparisoned in black and the line of march was taken up for Hollywood. Houses along the line were 'almost without exception draped in black, and the national, state and confederate flags—the latter predominating—were either floating in the breeze or worked in the funeral colors, The streets alubg the route, yards and windows of the houses were packed with people. Nothing of a tumultuous or noisy character marked the day or the progress of tlio cortege, although the whole city seemed to be in mourning.

Along tli. Line of March.

A conservative estimate is that 75,000 people were on the streets and in Hollywood cemetery. No canopy of any description covered the casket. It stood in full view on the top of the caisson, with the sun shining brightly on the polished oak and glittering brass. Every now and then little girls would run out in front of the artillery horses, and keeping ahead of them scatter the path of the oaisson with white flowers. At other points on the route ladies dressed in mourning did the same thing. Except for the wailing notes of the bands and the clatter of horses' hoofs and the steady tramp of marching men not a sound was heard during the route.

The time set for the procession to move was 8 o'clock, but there was a short delay in the starting. First came Hen. John B. Gordon, chief marshal, and staff of. some fifty prominent confederate officers then the infantry, under Commander Henry Jones, followed by the artillery with three batteries, and Norfolk light artillery blues, all under command of Maj. W. E. Simons. Four troops of cavalry followed, commanded by Col. W. F. Wickliam.

Notable People in the Procession.

These were followed immediately by the catafalque, behind which came carriages in which were seated Mrs. Jefferson Dayis and Gov. McKinney, Miss Winnie Davis and Mayor Ellyson and Mr: and Mrs. nayes.

These -were followed by the honorary pall-bearers in carriages: Gov*. F. Tillman, South Carolina Elias Howe. North Carolina Prank Brown, Maryland P. Turney, Tennessee W. A. Mc•CorUlo, West Virginia T. G. Johns, Alabama Gens. J. A. Early, D. H. Maury,

William H. Payne, McLawa, L. S. Halter, Stephen D. Lee, Harry Hoth, George H. Stuart, Maj. John W. Daniel, Senator E. C. Walthall, Messrs. Moses Milhiscr, M. A. Allen, Hugh Blair, John B. Purcell, P. P. Winston, A. S. Buforil Col. John T. Wood, Dr. John B. McCaw, Col. E. P. Reeve, F. T. Glasgow.

Other carriages contained distinguished persons, among them Senator M. C. 1)utier, Senator G. C. Vest and wife, Mrs. Gen. George C". Pickett, Mrs. Gen. A. L. Long, Col. John Goode, the members of the Jefferson Davis Monument association, officers of the Hollywood. Oakwood and Hebrew Memorial associations.

Tattered Flags with Histories.

The only veteran organization from Georgia in the procession was the Confederate Survivors' association of Augusta. This organization had its colors along, the Cobb Legion battle flag. This rent and tattered ensign was carried in Richmond three years ago at the unveiling of the Lee monument and gave to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston on the succeeding day the last salute he received from the battlefiag. The Augusta association sent its adjutant to New Orleans to lay a wreath upon the bier of President Davis and to accompany the remains to Richmond, which was done, the other members meeting liim there with colors. Maj. Withers, of this organization, also had the headquarters flag of Gen. Morgan, stained with that officer's blood.

Tlie Ceremonies.

Reaching Hollywood cemetery the infantry marched directly to the grave and formed a hollow square around it to keep the crowd at a respectful distance. After the procession had been halted in the cemetery and the various organizations had been assigned to the positions they were to occupy the band played a dirge composed by Prof. Reinhart of this city. Rer. William Munford read a selection from the Scriptures, after which the hymn "How Firm a Foundation," was bung, the lines being read by Rev

CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, THURSDAY JUNE 1.1893.

Dr. W. W. Landrum, of the Second Baptist church. Rev.MosesD.Hoge, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, offered a prayer. The invocation was followed by the reinterment. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr: O. 8. Barton, rector of Old Christ church, Norfolk, Va., who was particularly attentive to Mr. Davis while he was imprisoned at FoKress Monroe.

Immediately after the benediction the casket was lowered into the grave. After the bugle signal came taps and the infantry fired a salute, which announced that the services were over. The column then moved to Gettysburg hill, where the graves of 10,000 confederate soldiers were decorated.

FIGHT FOR THE FAIR.

Bandar Opening at Stake in the Federal Court in Chicago—The Case Being Heard by Judges Woods, Jenkins and Grosscup.

CHICAGO, June 1.—At 10:80 a. m. the United States circuit court began the hearing of the suit brought against the World's Fair company to effect the closing of the gates on Sunday. Judges Jenkins, Woods and Grosscup occupied the bench. Judge Grosscup, being a stockholder in the fair, at first declined to sit in the case, but upon request of the attorney# changed his decision. Attorney Cleland, representing the Sabbatarian party, presented the bill in which Wanamaker & Brown and Pratt are complainants against the World's Columbian exposition. The bill asks for an order restraining the World's Columbian exposition from opening its gates on Sunday and from returning to the treasury the appropriation of souvenir coins. The court ruled that it would only hear one bill at a time.

District Attorney Milchrist asked leave to file an amendment to the original bill. This set out that the world's fair directory had accepted two installments of the government appropriation after the passage of the act setting aside 1570,000 for awards, and that these acceptances were made with full knowledge of the setting aside of the fund for awards. Attorney Walker at once objected to the amendment on the ground that it raised new and serious issues which he was not then prepared to meet. Considering this objection, tlie court allowed the amendment, to the original bill, but gave leave to defendant counsel to take time to file an amendment to their answer, which would meet the points raised to the amendment to the bill.

At the afternoon session of the court arguments in favor of the government's side of the case were presented by District Attorney Milchrist and Attorney Hand, while Mr. Walker and Gen. St. Clair talked for the directors.

POISON ENOUGH TO KILL.

Result or the Examination of the KHesters' Bodies—New Light on tlie Case. INDIANA POMS, Ind., June 1. The

chemical analysis in the case of Mary ICoestcrs, Charles Ivoesters' S-year-old daughter, whose body was exhumed with four others of the family, shows the presence of arsenic in sufficient quantities to cause death. Dr. Eisenbeiss has found that two of the family died from poison, and is now at work on the stomach of Frank Ivoesters, the aged father. Anna Wagoner, the suspected poisoner, was in court Wednesday and her case was' continued until June 10. New light has been thrown on the case, which thus far has balfled the police. Frank J. ICoesters, another son of the old lady, who it is now known was poisoned last week, appeared in court Wednesday with his mother's will which appointed him executor and sole legatee of her estate. The amount of the estate was not given, but it appeared that the will was executed May 22, which was the day of her sudden death.

INTERNATIONAL BILL! A DS.

ITCR Plays a Remarkable Game in Kits Contest wlt.ii Roberts at London—Thu Latter, However. Is in tlie Lead.

LONDON, June 1.—Largo crowds attend the international billiard match between Ives, of America, and Roberts, of England, now in progress at' Ilinley's circus. The totals at the end of Tuesday's play were: Roberts (still playing), 2,001 Ives, 1,070. Ives' run of 307 is the biggest one of the match. 11 was made mostly by nursery caroms. Ives is wonderfully quick in scoring, while Roberts, though slow, plays more neatly. Ives has a severe cold and was feeling ill throughout the evening.

In Wednesday night' game Roberts again showed finer play than Ives, although the latter made the largest run of the evening, scoring 175 by quick but careful play. The score now stands: Roberts, 3,000 Ives, 2,243.

First Month of tlie Fair.

CHICAGO, June 1.—The exposition is just one month old. The oflicials claim that the attendance has been as large as could be expected and that the fair has been as successful a one in every way as could be anticipated. Months ago the conservative members of the directory declared that 12,000 daily attendance would be as much as could be expected for the first month. This number has been exceeded every day that the fair has been open. The total paid attendance during the month of May is 1,077.233.

Baseball.

Wednesday's National league games resulted as follows: At Philadelphia— Chicago, 7 Philadelphia, 6. At Boston —Boston, 14 Louisville, 4. At New York—Cleveland, 8 New York, 7. At Baltimore—Baltimore, 10 St. Louis, 9 At Washington—Cincinnati, 0 Washington, 5.

ACTIOS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The Appeal from tlio Vcrdict of Acquittal Sustainud by a Vote of 383 to 1 10 —A Committee to Fix the Penalty.

WENT AGAINST BRIGGS.

WASHINGTON, June 1.—Another step has been made by the general assembly in convicting Prof. Briggs of heresy. Late Wednesday night it sustained the appeal from the New York presbytery by the following vote: To sustain, 298 to sustain in part, 85 total, 883 not to sustain, 110. The action of the assembly was reached after many weary hours had been taken up by the commissioners in explaining the reasons which would govern their votes.

Status of the Case.

The status of the case may be explained in this way: The New York Presbytery acquitted Prof. Briggs of various charges. An appeal was taken against that acquittal to the general assembly. The general assembly first

PltOF. BRIGGS.

decided that it would entertain the appeal regardless of the fact that the appeal was taken over the head of the New York synod. Having entertained the appeal it has been listening to arguments by the prosecuting committee and by Dr. liriggs in his own defense. Wednesday night it voted viva voce on the various specifications of error alleged against, the New York presbytery and upheld all but two which,were unimportant as affecting the main question. Then on a roll call it sustained the appeal as a whole with the two exceptions.

To Fix a Penalty.

Practically this amounts to a condem nation of Prof. Briggs on all the charges brought against him. Actually, however, this condemnation is not to come. Under the ecclesiastical procedure the moderator was instructed to appoint a committee which shall report to the assembly the forms to be followed. The New York presbytery acquitted Dr. Briggs. The action of the assembly in sustaining the appeal from that acquittal is not a formal reversal. The committee named by the moderator will report the method of giving effect to the judgment which the assemblj' has rendered in sustaining the appeal. It may report a modification of the New York presbytery's action, which will not amount to the expulsion of Prof. Briggs. The belief is that the committee will report in favor of suspension, which is almost the same thing. Then the question will come about the legal relations of Union seminary and Prof. Briggs to the Presbyterian church.

WORK OF A CYCLONE.

Town or Rosedale, Miss., Wiped Out—Fivo People Reported Killed. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 1.—A cyclone

The Island Still in Trouble Over Politics.

EVENTS OF AN EXCITING NATDRE.

Minister Itlonnt Announces That He Will Not Interfere with Forces V'onMlelUig for Supremacy in the

Government.

THE I.'' r.ST NKWS.

noNoi.ui.u, May 24.—(Per steamer Australia via-San Francisco, May 31.)— The situation is at' present more interesting flian for several months and the whole town is agog with excitement over late developments. First came the arr st of Messrs. Bush and Kenyon, editors of native papers, the Holoinua and Liberal, on the charges of libeling the provisional government and Minister Stevens then the publication of Secretary Gresham's instructions to Commissioner Blount, and later the warning to annexationists that they could not depend upon help from the United States in case the royalists attempted to reinstate their queen then followed the news of Blount's appointment as United States minister to Hawaii, and finally came the attempt of the provisional government to silence Charles Nordlioff, correspondent of the New York Herald, and Mr. Blount's interference in his behalf.

There May 11. Trouble.

All sorts of alarming rumors are afloat, and even Minister Blount, who all along has predicted that there will be no trouble, is not now so confident. The provisional government, although it doos not look for any disturbance, is strengthening its position and claims to be able to hold together for several years until a new administration, if annexation is refused by Mr. Cleveland.

IfiHtructiong to Blount.

.May 15 Commissioner Blount gave out for publication his letter of instructions from Secrotary Greslram. The instructions are voluminous, and request Col. lilount to investigate the condition of affairs on the Hawaiian islands, and finally says: "Your authority 1n all matters touching the relations of this government to the existing or other government of the islands and the protection ot our citizens ia paramount, and in you alone, acting In cooperation with commander of naval forces, is vested full discretion and power to determine when such force}) should be landed or withdrawn."

Among other things stated by Secretary Gresham are that Minister Stevens be instructed to furnish Col. Blount with needed assistance, and that he (Stevens) would perforin the usual functions of the minister until relieved that, while the United States claims no right to interfere in the internal conflicts, this government will adhere to its consistent and established policy and it will not acquiese in domestic interference by other powers.

Blount's Fronunctainento.

At the end of his instructions Col. Blount added In the publication the following postscript: "While I shall refrain from Interference be tween conflicting forces, of whatever nationality for supremacy, I will protect American citizens not participating in such conflict'

Those few lines created great excitement, as they were regarded by all as a plain invitation to the royalists to make trouble.

The royalists, however, say they are not now prepared to take advantage of Mr. Blount's notice, but will await the decision of the United States. If the islands are annexed they and the queen will submit to the inevitable and become good Americans. If the islands art not annexed, as the royalists firmly believe they will not be, then there may be trouble.

Blount Blade Minister.

May 17 news of Col. Blount's appointment as United States minister to Hawaii arrived. Col. Blount immediately took tlie oath of office and entered upon his new duties. He, how ever, will not accept the position permanently, but will ask to be relieved as soon as practicable. The appointment is apparently satisfactory to both parties here, as he is regarded as perfectly impartial. His work as a special commissioner is completed and the report has been forwarded to Washington.

Trouble Over a Correspondent,

Although Minister Blount did not formally enter upon his new duties until May 23 he has already come into collision with the provisional government. The writings of Charles Nord hoff, the New York Herald's correspondent, have greatly displeased the annexationists, who declare "his statements to be untrue. Nordhoff was threatened with violence and was fur nished police pro tection. The pro visional government cited him to appear before the executive and advisory councils and give his authority for certain statements. Nordlioff consulted Minister Blount, who ordered him to pay no attention to the-demands of the provisional government Minister Blount takes the stand that the provisional government has no power to control correspondents writing to papers published in the United States and cites the Cutting case in Mexico as a precedent. Minister Blount is in correspondence with his government about the matter and it is probable that owing to his interference the provisional government will drop it. The affair caused great excitement here. 1
