FORTY-FIVE MINUTES AT COLUMBUS.

A Great Crowd of People View the Casket Containing Sherman's Remains. Columbus, O., Feb. 20. As the train rolled into the Union Station here the space on either side was crowded with people, and for squares away there was a solid mass straggling to get view of the train. The comrades of JlcCoy Post and Wells Post. O. A. R., were in the station, accompanied by a drum corps. Thero was no demonstration, but the people busied themselves crowding in so as to get a view of the casket through the open doors. The car containing the ladies of the party was run back to the rear of the station, where they could get on the platform and exercise after tbeir long ride, and thus improve the brief time incident to the chaoge of engines. Senator Sherman, ex-President Hayes, General Ewing and others of the party came from the train, and bad a brief talk with relatives about T Oolambus, -who had come to the train. ' Tho ollicers of the United States garrison in this city were at the train to meet the government officials, and especially those representing the War Department. Quite a number of the relatives of the deceased General from Lancaster and Zanesville, O., joined the funeral party at this point.

The members of the joint legislative committee designated to attend the funeral had a special car, which was hitched on to the regular Panhandlo train west. foll6wing the funeral train. A wait of forty-tive minutes was given tho funeral train at Columbus, during which there was a crowd of about 20,000 peopie. who gathered in the vicinity, the majority of whom only secured a glance of tho train at a distance, owing to the blockpdo. The engine which was hooked on hero was No. 27J4, in charge of engineer Phil Chase, of Columbus, and conductor II. M. May, of Indianapolis. The engine was elaborately draped and decorated. Above the head-light was a large-size crayon portrait of General bherman, surmounted by an eagle with spread wings, and beneath the picture was the inscription, : oiiio's son. the nation's iiero, : in large, plain letters. The railings of the engine were studded with small nags with fringe drapery. Semite Sherman determined that he . would not go back to Washington to-day, but that he would continue on to St. Louis to attend the funeral ceremonies to-morrow. The widow of ex-Governor Denison brought to the train some very beautiful flowers, which she presented to the Sherman family. 1 The denarture from Columbus was made promptly at 3:15. ON THE WAY TO INDIANAPOLIS. .

Largest Demonstration of the Day Made at Richmond Schofield and the Veterans. No stops were made for some time after leaving Columbus, O. Demonstrations were made at every station and at many of the cross-roads, hut the uncertainties of the weather interfered seriously with them.

At Woodstock the train whizzed by at a great speed and only a glimpse was had of Davis Post, G. A. IL. drawn up in line beside the track. Just beyond Woodstock a picturesque group of old veterans stood at a road crossing with bare heads bowed. As the train swept on at the side of the road a line of country wagons and buggies was drawn up. There was a very largo crowd awaiting the coming of tho train at Urbana at 5 r. 3L A line of veterans was drawn up along the platform, and behind them was a miscellaneous crowd of several thousand people. A stop of a few minutes was made at L'rbana. Rain was falling lightly at this time. As the train left Urbana the storm began to increase in force, and by the time ltrush lake, a water station, was reached the wind waa blowing a gale and the lain was falling in sheets. The storm continued to increase in force, but in spite of the heavy rain at every station there were crowds lined along the platform to salute the honored dead. At New Paris there was a long line of veterans at the station and quite a large crowd, and the bells of the city wero tolled during the j'insago of the train. Dinner was served to the party between Bradford J auction and Richmond. At Fiqna there was a large crowd on the station platform though the rain was falling heavily.

Mr. Thackara replied from Richmond thtt the party would arrivo at 8:S0, which was an hour liter tban tho original schedule time. OKKAT DEMONSTRATION AT RICHMOND. The reception at Richmond,' the Indiana state line, was the finest that had been seen during the day. Under tbo roof of the great railroad station nearly ten thousand people were in waiting. The members of Sol Meredith Post, No. 55, G. A. R.. were drawn up in line beside the railroad track, while the Richmond Light Guard kept the mass of people in orderly array. Thers were fully 200 members of the Grand Army post in line. The crowd about them included many hundreds who .had come from neighboring town to show their respect for the dead. Asthetrain moved up the track the band played a dirgo and tb veterans, with uncovered heads, saluted. Uehind them were ranged the Sous of Veteran and the members ot the Woman's Relief Corps. When the train stopped a committee from Sol Meredith Post placed beside the catafalque a beantifnl floral emblem, in the design of a general's shoulder-strap. As Secretary Ruk looked out over the heads of the quiet crowd that filled the station, he said: "It moves me deeply to see this great assemblage come together to show their love aud respect for the dead soldier." , Alrin P. Hovey. Governor of Indiana, and Department Commander Stormont, G. A. R., boarded the train at Richmond. They had come from Indiananolis to meet the funeral cortege at tho border line of the State. They were welcomed by General Schotield. While the train stood in the station there were many inquiries for General Schofield. Secretary Rosk led the General to the platform of the car, where the veterans crowded about him to shake his baud. "Your old Franklin boys are here, General," said one of them as he shook hands with General Schofield. "Yes. there are thousands of my children here, I know," said the General, with much feeling. "I am glad, indeed, to see so many of you in good health." General Schofield remained on the platform for several minutes shaking hands with the old soldiers. There were some inquiries for General Howard and General Slocum. but before they could come out to the platform the signal had been given, and to the booming of cannon and the tolling of bells, the train moved out of the station. Three volleys of musketry were fired as the 'train left the platform. All along the platform outside the covered station stood a dense crowd of people in the pouring rain. Thousands stood without umbrellas under the dripping skies, bat in hand, to seo the funeral cortege pass. It was 7:47 when the train left Richmond. Tho next stop was at Cambridge City, where a good crowd was in waiting, bnt there was no demonstration. At Knightstown. when the tram pulled up for a minute, the rain waa still falling heavily, but a great many people were gathered together on the platform. A musket volley was fired over the train as it left the Knightstown station. At Greenfield, Dunbar Post, G. A. R., and several hundred citizens were assembled to see the funeral train which passed that roint at 9:17. No other incident occurred before the train reached Indianapolis at 10 o'clock.

The storm of rain aud elect that had pre

vailed for over twenty-four hours, ceased to-night and was succeeded by a cold wind, nnder the influence of which the streets, which were in an abominable condition this morning, promise to get into a presentable shape.

CHURCn DISESTABLISHMENT

Gladstone Make3 a Vigorous Speech in Behalf of the People of Wales, Ilia Reasons for Believing tbe Church Should Be Disestablished Non-Conformists in the Majority The Kaiser Asks for Support. DISESTABLISHMENT IN WALES. Mr. Gladstone Speaks in the Commons on the Subject Cloae Vote. London, Feb. 20. In the House of Commons this evening Mr. Morgan's resolution in favor of disestablishment of the chnrch in Wales was rejected by a vote of 235 to 2C3. The announcement of the large votein its favor was greeted with loud opposition cheers. Mr. Dinwynn, member for Swansea, seconded Mr. Morgan's motion for disestablishment in Wales. Mr. Gladstone appeared in the crowded house carefully dressed and wearing a flower in the button-hole of his coat, . He listened with attention to the opening speeches. Thee himself rising, he said: T could not have spoken on this question half a century ago as I am able to speak now. Thenthe'administration of tbe Established Church in . Wales was, in many ways, feeble and open to heavy censure. Now the case different." Dealing with the is very growth of Christianity in Wales since the sixth century, Mr. Gladstone said the anglican reformation conferred a great blessing on the Welsh by the introduction of the mother toneue into the services of the church, to which, indeed, they were chiefly Indebted for the preservation of their language. Since the seventeenth century, when Englishmen occupied every bishopric deanery and benefice of any value, the Welsh people set themselves a gigantic task in providing for their own religious worship, although non-conformity, with undiminished energy, retained its place in the hearts of the people. The church also displayed praiseworthy activity. It might be asked why interfere if the church were active and progressive, and the non-conformists contented, lint the latter were not contented, and the question was whether they were entitled to be discontented. They were making indistinct terms with a voice very audible, indeed, a demand be felt it to be his duty to listen to and which he was convinced before long the House would be compelled and disposed to listen to. Cheers. He did not think the Welsh people were disposed to make inconvenient claims on the ground of nationality, but he believed they had the right to insist upon the British Parliament paying due regard to such claims as they were warranted in making. He had done nothing to advance the claims of the Welsh Non-conformists. If any one was entitled to praise in the matter it was Lord Hartinaton. Laughter, and a gesture of dissent from Lord Hartington. Sucb, bowever, was that gentleman's modesty that he shook his head and repelled the compliment, but he (the speaker must insist on placing upon bis Lord Har tington's head the crown he was entitled to wear. Renewed laughter. After a similar reference to Lord Hartmgton's attitude toward Scotch disestablishment, Mr. Gladstone said he expected to have to meet citations from his own speeches on a former occasion, but that was twenty-one years ago, and he had had time to come of age since then. He might then have said that disestablishment iu Wales was impossible, but, strictly regarded, that assertion might be said to involve an element of exaggeration. I Great laughter.) He said now. as then, that the separation would be a very formidable difficulty, and if Mr. Morgan was wise he would not attempt it. It was a task for tho government, and would require all their care and skill to carry it. The gentlemen of the opposition smiled at this, but there were many things that theTories bad declared to be impossible, and afterwards, under adequate pressure, they had been foand perfectly willing and competent to achieve. ICheers aud laughter.! JUSTICE FOii, WELSHMEN. On tbe question of be justice of the demand he hadnot said it was a repetition of the case of tho church of Ireland, but it was so. The two vital determining points of the church of Wales were that it was tho church of the few and the church of the rich. Looking at their numerical preponderance and their distribution in respect to the various classes of. society, it was not far from the truth to say that the non - conformists, of Wales were tbe people of Wales. Nobody could doubt that they would attain speafc as decisively as in 1866, when, out of thirty! members, twenty-seven were pledged in' favor Of disestablishment. Such a voice, could not be much longer contravened by, English votes. The semi-religious controversies were not good for the temper or social condition of the country. Therefore.' when the end is certain there would be no advantage in lengthening the struggle. The English were just people,1 and would insist upon the Welsh receiving satisfaction of their just demands, which iu like circumstances they would claim for themselves. ; Postmaster-general Raikes contended that there was no such thing as a Welsh nation. Thero were three principal-' lties within the limits of the present principality. The Welsh were an interesting race. Their peculiarities had led many people to be interested in them. 13nt in political questions we could not be governed by vague sentiment. The question of the church in Wales was the Question of the chnrch in England, and Englishmen bad a right to a voice therein. Ho knew the attack would not be limited to the Welsh outworks, but would soon be extended to the citadel. They, therefore, would not be persuaded by the voice of the Welsh siren. Sir George Trevelyan supported the resolution. The feeling in favor of disestablishment was growing rapidly and was kept alive by the only prosecution now yossible, namely, favor and partiality shown by the law to creed against creed, a favor which, he trusted, would receive its deathblow tonight. Solicitor-general Clarke having brieliy replied, the House divided, with the result already announced. Mr. Gladstone looked better than on Monday, bu bis speech was conversational and lacked energy. His reference to Lord Hartington was a telling point which was much relishoo. Mr. Gladstone departed immedia! fier ho had finished bis speech, having paired in favor of Mr. Morgan's resolution. Hon. Joseph Chamberlin, Sir Henry Ji.mes and afew other Unionists voted with the minority, otherwise the division was on party lines. Lord Randolph Churchill supporting the government GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Emperor "William Auk the People to Giro Him Full Support. Berlin, Feb. 20. At a dinner given in bis honor, this evening, by the Rradenbnrg Diet, Emperor William said he was aware that much that he had recently done had changed many of his people, and that they hesitated to follow him. It was necessary, however, for them to confide in biin with a view only to the welfare of the whole people. Prussia, he said, became great because in lbl3 tho whole nation confided in and rallied to the support of tbe king. 'In our time," the Emperor continued, "when disloyalty and other vices steal through the world, when an ocean of printiug ink rnd paper is lavished to embarrass and dar'a-n everything lying clear before u, you must hold with me. I remain calm in the hope that you will follow tue. May I tind enough faithful men to do my Lidding." Ex-Kmpress Frederick In Paris. Paris, Feb. 20. The ex-Empress Frederick, of Germany, to-day seems to have thoroughly enjoyed herself.

THE MARINE KNOCKED OUT La Blanche Easily Whipped in Twelve Bounds by Mitchell at San Francisco. Fell from a Light Tap on the Jaw and Allowed Himself to Be Counted 0at( Amid the Jeers of the Spectators. San Francisco, Feb. CO. The California Athletio Club to-nizbt resumed its monthlycontests Tvnich have been discontinued since September last The principals in to-night's event, which was for 2,500, were George LaBlanche, "the Marine," and Johnny Herget, better known as "Young Mitchell," San Francisco middle-weights. The fight took place at tbe old gymnasium of the club, which has not been used for this purpose since the Biliy Murphy and Frank Murphy contest. "Mitchell" had the advantage in height and reach, and the fact that he is about ten years younger than LaBlanche made him a slight favorite in the betting, but the Marine's well-Known rushing powers and his ability to sts.nd punishment sufficed to make the betting light. Both men trained faithfully to reach the required weight 154 pounds and though some feared that LaBlanche would be reduced too much, the Marine pressed confidence in his ability to fight btrong, even at 145. LaBlanche entered the ring at 9:10. Mitchell followed a moment later. LaBlanche appeared more finely trained than when he fought Dempsey. At 9:25 time was called. Lablanche took the center of the ring, while Mitchell leiuted around him. The men finally came tightly together in a clinch, Mitchell's right falling on the ribs. Mitchell again led and was stopped by LaBlanche' right in the mouth. In the lead Mitchell slipped around the Marine's neck, and both went to the floor. Second Konnd The Marine rnshed Mitchell to the ropes, when the latter cleverly ducked a wicked awing, twice landing on tbe Marine's ribs, causing him to reel. Mitchell found no diihculty in stopping the Marine and landing heavily. Third Round Mitchell countered with his left on the ear, bnt caasht a sounder on the chest. La Blanche rusned, bnt Mitchell ducked and lifted him from the floor. La Blanche caught a good right-hander on tbe jaw as lie pranced toward Mitchell, and but for the oJose of the round would have been badly upper cut. His attempt to play grog try were jeered by the spectators. Fourth Konnd LaBlanche'tiblowsseemed ineffective and bis swings were coolly dodged by his opponent, lie resorted to clinches when possible. Fifth Round Some hot ifi-fighting with little material advantage marked this round. a Sixth Round Mitchell got in a good left on the Marine's check, the latter twisted him backward to the lloor, but apologized at the cries of foul. He again rushed but Mitchell caught him each time on the ribs, ducking as ho did so. Cries of foul were made several times bv friends of the men. Seventh Konnd The referee cautioned Mitchell to stand and fight. Some good counters followed. Mitchell caught the Marine with a right-hander in the nose. Bfudingbim to the door. LaBlanche seemed pleased and dodged, and dodgesand clinches of Mitchell, with one or two good stops, bade fair to wind hiui. Near tbe end of the round Mitchell went down from alight tap. Eighth Round Mitchell found the Marine's mouth with a left-hand stop, which was the only good blow of the round. Ninth Round Mitchell phased the Marine's cheek with his right and the Marine dropped to the floor. The latter endeavored to get in his right several times, but it was stopped each time. Tenth Round Mitchell's stops were too much for the Marine's rushes, and a punch full in the chest sent him to the floor. Eleventh Round The men warmed up to tbeir work in this round and the exchange of blows was more even. Twelfth Round About the middle of this round, a few blows having been struck, after a little fiddling by LaBlanche, Mitchell, in stopping the lead of the Marine, hit him lightly with his left on the iaw. when the Marine dropped, and, rolling over on his fac, remained raised on one wrist nntil he was counted out. He was roundly jeered by the spectators on leaving tho ring. . WAS CROSSED IN LOVE. Sad Story of John Graeter, the Maniac Murderer of Vincennes, Ind. Menpiils Appeal-Avalanche. The double killingby John W. Graeter, at noon, on Tuesday, at Bald Knob, Ark., is an appalling example of tbe danger that lurks in the loose methods with which dangerous lunatics are too often dealt. Uraeter has been for months a dangerous maniac, and only a fortunate combination of events has prevented the culmination of his dementia in bloodshed long ago. This touch, and luore, waa gleaned from a gentleman who arrived in Memphis yesterday from Fort Worth, Ter., where the authorities have bad dealings with Uraeter, and where the full circumstances of his coudition are known. Graeter's cane is a peculiar and sad one, as disclosed by the gentleman alluded to. His home is at Vincennes, Ind. lle is well connected, has large property, mostly in stock in industrial institutions in that vicinity, and his two brothers stand high in the commercial world there. He is of fine physique, aud before the calamity occurred which deprived him of his reason exhibited bniueni intelligence of a hitth order. His education was thorough, lie used to go largely iuto politics, and a year ago was reputed one of the strongest Democratic orators and politicians in southern Indiana. But misfortune came. i He was'engaged to marry ayoung lady of German parentage, of Vincennes. to whom he was devotedly attached. They had grown up together, were apparently in every way well suited to each other. So far as the public could judge, tbe union promised mutual felicity aud happiness. The hour was et for the nuptials, aud as tho happy time approached Jobu Graeter's spirit waxed light and' buoyant, and he crew jubilant at the thought of tbe great happiness that was about to be his. The wedding wan arranged to take place at the Roman Catholio Cathedra', in Vincennes, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the day set the priest was at hand to perform his appointed services. The auditorium was well filled with the most fashionable people of Vincennes. llandnome John Graeter was there, and in advance received tho warm congratulations of his numerous friends. He grew nervous as the moments flew by, for ho was anxious to have the ordeal over. But the bride came not. The as8euiblag grew impatient, the groom was in a quandary, the holy father waited with annoyance at the delay. 'But for an hour after the appointed time the people remained, astonished and surprised at the non-appearauce of the bride. And when at lat it became apparent that tbo lauy would not come the assemblage tiled slowly out ot tho church, questioning each

Pennsylvania st. other and eyeing the disappointed groom with sympathetic looks, lor he was as greatly nonplussed as the others. John Graeter presented a pitiable appearance as he left the church. He kept his eyes straight ahead, looking neither to the right nor left; and he spoke not a word. He repaired straightway to tbe residence of the yonng lady. He found her parents prostrated, but soon learned the cau he of his grievous disappointment. The tfirl bad become infatuated with a traveler from Cincinnati, had met him frequently clandestinely, and finally, about noon on tho day the wedding, with John Graeter was to have taken place, left Vincennes with him, presumably for Cincinnati. When Graeter learned this he acted quietly but strangely and in such a way as to excite) the apprehension of bis friends. He left Vincennes and remained away two weeks. tSince then the Cincinnati man who inveigled his sweetheart into the elopement has never been heard of or seen. Whon tbe heart-broken fellow returned to bis borne he was a mental wreck. His memory and talent remained, but he was troubled with, horrible and frightful hallucinations. He never referred to tbe girl, but seemed to fear continuously that he would be assassinated. At such times he wonld suspect bis best friends of being in the plot to kill him. and wonld either tly from them or make them escape from him. The wedding incident ocenrred some six months ago. Graeter purchased a ronndtrip ticket to California, put a few hundred dollars in his pocket, aud started forth. He was next heard from at Fort Worth, Tex. One morning about daybreak be was diweoveird walking: around tho Catholic Chnrch, in that city, with his shoes of, muttering the name of tbe girl who had played him false and railing npon Providence for mercy upon him and her. The police arrested him and placed him in tbo calaboose, a Tile place, where he partially recovered his mental balance aud acted 00 rationally that he was released after a fevr days and allowed to remain in the city attorney's otlice while telezrams were sent to his friends in Indiana asking about him. He remained in this oitiee quietly enough for several hours, talking fluently and intelligently on a wide range of subjects. But about 4 o'clock in the afternoon a maniacal tit came upon him. He neized a hatchet that lay in the otlice. felled tho attorney, who attempted to biir his egress,and, flying through the hallway, ran np the street brandishing the hatchet and threatening to slay anv one who attempted to stop him. So be went for several blocks, till an oHicer brought him to a halt by leveling a revolver close to his head. It required three policemen to bold him after he was caught. Then came telegrams from his brothers with instructions to send him back to Vincennes. It was a difticult task to get him to the depot and aboard the train. He was taken through the streets in a patrol wagon, and all along tho route, a distance of sotae two mile, bo stood up and shouted to people on th,e sidewalks: . . . "Friends, theao men are taking mo to tha depot to kill me! They have l-eu paid to do it. They have already wired my brothers that I am dead, and now they are goinff to finish the iob. Come to the depot and see me killed:' Many people along the streets were convinced that G raj ter was being foully dealt with, for with bis commanding appearance, determined, straightforward look and plausible speech it was difficult for any ono to believe him insane. . Hut nothing occurred. Graeter was taken back home by two officers, who wero well rewarded for their trouble. Tbe Appeal-Avalanche's informant knew nothing more of the cae till he read of tho killing in the papers yesterday morning; and he was not surprised at whst he read, for the murderous conduct of the maniaa at liald Knob was in line with his previous actions.
