FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1831.
THE NATION’S TRIBUTE.
Our Dead Warrior Borne to ills
Last. Resting Place.
All IMMENSE PROCESSION.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2;).—At- an early hour
Thursday morning the peopl».z beg [ii to as-
semble. oppositi- the residence of Lien. Sher-
man. From almost every house along the
street the American flag floated, the greater
number being in deep mourning. There
were few visitors. Only the mod intimate
friends and a few old soldiers were admit—
ted, and the latter were obliged to show
certificates that they had scrch in the
army. A number of llle5.-%Oilg(?l'n' arrived
with flowers. A large piece of pink and
white roses in an evergreen background
came from M rs. Andrew Carnegie.
Rev. Thomas Sherman. the son whose
arrival has been so anxiously awaited, {Ir--
rived at the house at 1:30 in the morning.
He was welcomed home, not by his beloved
father, but by his brother, If. T. Sherman,
and his sisters, Mrs. Thackara and Rachel .
Sherman. He. did not go then to view his
father’s remains, but after a short but sad
talk with his brother and sisters, retired
for the night to pass the hours till morn-
ing in restless sleep. .
He said his voyage across the Atlantic
had been very uneventful. He did not dis-
close his identity to any person on board,
but kept his sorrow to himself. Those
were anxious days for the son, and anx-
iously he looked for some word. All ships
passed without imparting any informa—
tion. thile Off Providence a pilot brought
him the news of Friday, the day before the
general’s death. This was almost without
hope and prepared the young priest for al-
most anything. Still he lived on the thread
of hope which still existed and did not
despair of seeing his father alive once
again. At Quarantine the sorrowful news
was told him and he hastened home to
meet his bereaved sisters and brother who
were. watching for him.
Just before taking a slight breakfast
with the family he entered the room in
which lay all that remained of his re-
nowned father. Silently he looked at the
features, once so familiar to him, but now
overspread by death’s pallor.
The President \Vouldn’t View Him.
The casket remained open during the
forenoon for any distinguished visitors
that might ari'ige from the hotels. At 10:30
none but some intimate friends and old
veterans had come in to take a last look at
their old commander. President Harrison
would not look upon the remains of the
general. The family sent an invitation to
him at the Fifth Avenue hotel, but the
president kindly replied that he had pro--
ferred to keep with him the remembrances
of the general while alive.
A few minutes before 11 O’clock a large
floral shield was received at the house from
\Vest Point. cadets. The shield was 6 feet
in height and-t feet broad. It was made
of white and blue immortellcs, and bore
the inscription: “\Viiliam Tecumseh Sher-
man. From his \Vest Point Boys’ Class
of 1840.” At the top of the shield was the
American eagle worked in blue immor—
telles, and at the bottom a sword and scab-
bard woi‘ked in the same flowers. The
base of the shield was made of white calla
lilies. At 11 o’clock Secretaries Proctor
and Rusk drove up to the house in a car-
riage and passed in the front door. At 11
O’clock many other distinguished guests
arrived at the house.
were Gen. O’Beirne and Gen. Romer.
Shortly after them Secretary Blaine walked
up Seventy-first street arm in arm with
Gen. Thomas Ewing. The two had walked
from the residence Of the secretary’s daugh-
ter, Mrs. Walter Damrosch.
The first sign of the movement of the
militia was seen about half past 11 o’clock,
when one or two posts passed down the
street. Gen. Viele said that Lafayette
post of this city would send a large floral
tribute to the Ransom post at St. Louis,
accompanied with the request that it be
placed on the grave of their dead comrade.
Lafayette post further did honor to their
depart-ed comrade by placing on the cais-
son a large flag presented to the Sons of
Veterans, Lafayette post, by the general
some time ago. P. T. Sherman, the son of
the general, is a member of this post. This
flag will remain on the casket until it.
arrives in St. Louis.
Religious Services.
At 12 o’clock a short Catholic service,
consisting of prayers for the dead. was per-
formed about thc casket of Gen. Sherman.
. The prayers were read by Rev. Father
Sherman. Close to the casket. stood the
other son, P. T. Sherman. In the front
parlor were all of the members of the fam—
ily. Secretary Blaine and Wife and Mrs.
Damrosch were present in another room.
Father Sherman was assisted by Rev.
Father Taylor and two other priests. No
one was admitted but the members of the
family and other near relatives. »
Father Sherman, in conducting the sim-
ple services, read from the Scripture the
passage beginning, “I am the resurrection
and thelife.” After this two select-ions
were sung from the “Oratorio of Elijah,”
by Mendelssohn. Father Sherman again
read the Scriptures, and “The Misererc,”
from Mendelssohn, was given. Prayer
was then offered by the son, and the con-
cluding music was the “Pin Jesus.” “0
Rest in the Lord" was one of the selec-
tions. Senator and Mrs. Sherman were
with the family at the time these services
were performed. At the conclusion the
casket was sealed.
'About 12:25 the caisson, draped in black
and drawn by four horses, was drawn up
in front of the Sherman house. The horses
were mounted by regulars and an army
officer was in charge. At the caisson was
an orderly leading the black charger which
bore the military trappings of the general.
A black velvet covering almost hid the
horse from view, but the boots and sad—
dle were plainly conspicuous. The sergeant
in charge was Sex-gt. Jordan, and the man
whose honor it was to lead the black horse
with the trappings was Private A. T.
Webb, of the Second battery.
The casket rested on a platform from
\Vest Point, which was placed on the cais-
son whichwas furnished by the Second
battery. This is the same platform on
which rested the caskets of many of the
military heroes of the past.
The Procession Starts.
Ex-Pmsident Cleveland and Chauncey
M. Depew arrived at the house together
about 1:30. Soon after Gov. Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, and Mai-Gen. Snowdon 'ar-
rived with their staff, and following were
‘A
r
Among the number '
' ant—Governor Jones.
Governor Buckley and staff, and Lieuten-
Ex-President Hayes
was accompanied by Joseph H. Cheats.
The senate committee arrived in abodyv
and were in mourning, and after them
came the large committee of the house.
It was close on to 2 O’clock when Presi-
dent Harrison, with Lieut. Ernst, his aide-
de-camp, reached the house. Following
were the remaining members of the cabi-
net. The first move toward the formation
of the procession was at 1:58. Gen. How-
ard came out on the front steps of the gen-
eral’s residence and ordered the caisson,
which had been withdrawn, to come 11p.
At that instant a cavalry squad of the
Sixth cavalry formed to the left of the
house in the middle of the street.
The caisson came up in front of the
house at exactly 2 O’clock. Gems. Howard,
Slocum, Johnston and other military dig-
nitaries formed two lines on th walk and
made a passageway to the cais. . As the
pall bearers left the house an army band
out toward Central park began playing a
funeral march. Six lieutenants, under
command of Lieut. Rodman, appeared in
the doorway, bearing on their shoulders
the casket Of the general.
Slowly they bore their burden to the
awaiting funeral carriage. All heads were
then bared and silence reigned from one
end of the street to the other.
At 2:05 marching order was given and
the caisson moved out toward Eighth ave-
nue. The private carriage of Gen. Butter-
field was then driven to the door, and
Gens. Schofield, Howard, Slocum and Gen.
Schofield’s aide entered.
The pallbearers were then seated in their
respective carriages in quick succession.
When the coaches containing the pall—
bearers had driven away from the door
Lafayette post marched up to the caisson,
one—half of the command taking a position
on one side of the caisson and the. balance
on the other side. The head of the column
was then moved up to make room for the
carriages for the family and invited offi-
cials and friends.
There was a slight- delay in coming from
the house. In the meantime the various
commands in the difierent streets were
waiting to march when the order should
come.
The members of the family then entered
their carriages, and the friends, governors,
senators and other notables followed. The
procession moved to the ferry.
The Order of March.
The order of column following the rela—
tives and family was:

States; members of the cabinet.

President Brcyfogle’s Defense.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—In relation to the
application for a receiver for the Louis-
ville, New Albany and Chicago railroad
company, in which President Breyfogle
and several directors are accused of con-
spiring with Henry} S. Ives to wreck the
company, President Breyfogle says that
Henry Crawford, who recently ceased to be
the company’s solicitor, has brought the
present action because the company re‘
fused to buy the Indiana Midland, in
which he was interested. Mr. Breyfogle
further stated that no issue of new stock
was ever intended. The report might have
grown out of the fact. that the company has
in its treasury $2,500,000 general mortgage
5 per cent. bonds which it may sell. The
road’s earnings are increasing and it is in
good financial condition. Assistant Sec
rotary Hilton corroborated the president’s
statement.
A Big Electrical Light Deal.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb. 20.—The biggest
deal in electrical companies ever consumv
mated in the west has been completed.
Three million dollars was the amount paid
by the Laclede Gas company to purchase
all of its rivals in electric lighting and se-
cure complete control in St. Louis. Emer-
sonMcMillen, president of the Laclede
Gas company, announced that the com-
pany had purchased the Municipal Elec-
tric Lighting company and the Missouri
Electric company. For the former $2,000,-
000 was paid and for the latter $1,000,000
was given. These purchases give the La-
clede Gas company complete control of
lighting the city.
Deadly Wall Paper.
BOSTON, Feb. 20.—Hon. Samuel C. Cobb
died at his home here, aged 64 years. Mr.
Cobb has been ill for several months, but
his death is attributed to poisoning by ar-
senic, which he inhaled from the wall pa-
per of his room. Mr. Cobb was mayor of
this city from 1873 to 1 77.

Jerry Simpson Will Be a Marked
Figure in‘ the Next Congress:
THE COPYRIGHT , MEASURE.
The Chances of the Bill to Become a
Law Not. So Bad as They Appear.
A“ Strange .Mournlng Spectacle in
the Nation’s Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20,—The now famous
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who acquired
what appears to be the undeserved reputa-
tion of wearing nothing between his feet
and his calfskin shoes, has become . a fa-
miliar figure at the Capitol. Judged by
his appearance, he will not be among the
worst equipped members of the Fifty-
second congress, as far as shrewdness and
energy are concerned, and it argues well
for the interest he takes in the cause he
has espoused in politics that he has come
here to study on the ground the processes
of legislation, instead of waiting till the
next session opened and then contenting
himself with such a coaching as older
members might be disposed to give him.
' He is a self reliant looking man, simply
but neatly clad, and with nothing extra-
ordinary about him to catch the attention
of medium height,
firmly built. His
f a c e ' resembles
somewhat, in re—
pose, the portraits
of Rudyard Kip-
ling printed in the
illustrated news-
papers. His head
, is pretty well bal-
anced, and his face
. , is square, with a.
CAPT. JERRY SIMPSON. Strong Jaw- His
eyes are of me-
dium size, keen in expression without be-
ing foxy, and symmetrically set in his
head, and his crisp, dark hair and sharply
cropped, gray streaked mustache give a
business like cast to the rest of his make
up. The earnestness of his look is height-
ened and a gleam of kindliness added to it
by a pair of old fashioned gold bowed spec-
tacles, Which are an unchanging incidental
of his costume.
Simpson’s Appearance.
Mr. Simpson’s appearance, his self poise
and dignity of manner, and the general in-
telligence shown in his conversation, were
evidently a surprise to most of the persons
who met him at the Capitol. They had ex-
pected to see a ranting, roaring fellow,
with the airs of arustic Denis Kearney and
the costume of a “Blue Jeans” Williams.
They found a man rather disposed to keep
in the background for- the present, more
anxious to see and hear than to be seen
and heard, observing everything with a
thoughtful mien and apparently drawing
his own conclusions.
Unless his looks belie him, Simpson will
not only be a marked figure in the next
congress, but a much more difficult man
to handle than a demagogue of the blatant
type. His peculiarities will prove to be
natural, hot. acquired for effect; and his
heresies, however wild, will be set down to
misleading premises honestly. assumed, or
logic that is false without being purposely
distorted. There is no promise in his ap-
pearance that he will ever show himself a
great statesman, but that he will be a fear-
less fighter and an interesting man to
watch there is ample reason to believe.
The Copyright Bill’s Chances.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—-The copyright
bill, as it passed the senate, is badly bat—
tered out of shape, but the conferrces ap-
pointed by the senatc are intelligent
friends of copyright, and the prospects of
the bill are not as bad as they appear at
first glance. It would seem that any
amendment to the bill at this late date
would result in its‘dcfeat on account of
the lack of time to adjust the differences
between the two houses. Amajority‘ in
each house, however, favor the enactment
of a law to protect authors and publishers
in their property rights, and the indica-
cations are that the bill will be redrafted
in some particulars in conference, and be
reported in a shape to accomplish the pur-
pose desired, and secure favorable action
in both houses.
It is not expected that there will be any
trouble in either the house or senate in se-
curing the adoption of the conference re-
port, whatever it may be. The bill will
probably not be restored-to its original
form, some concessions by the friends of
the measure being neceSsary, but it is
probable that't-he Carlisle-Sherman amend-
ment will be stricken out in conference,
and that the lithographers’ amendment
will be modified so as to apply to litho-
graphs. chromos and photographs only,
which is acceptable to the lithographers.
Darkened by Death.
“WASHINGTON,- Feb. 20.—The strange spec—
tacle has been presented here this week of
five of the executive departments being
darkened by death at once. The depart—
ment- of justice was in the full tide of its
mourning for ex-Attorney General Devens
when Secretary Windom’s death draped
the treasury department in black. In the
midst of this gloom there followed each
other in swift succession the deaths of ex-
Secretary Stuart, of the inferior depart-
ment; Admiral Porter, of the navy, and
Gen. Sherman. SO many of the eight de-
partments simultaneously in mourning,
even for the briefest period, is a coinci-
dence which never occurred before within
the recollection of any W'ashingtonian,
and may never occur again.
Costly Carolessness.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Feb. 20.——A careless
Wiper in the roundhouse of the Cypress
yards of the Missouri Pacific railway in
Kansas City, Kan, set fire to a bunch of
oily waste. The fire spread rapidly, and
despite the efforts of the fire department
consumed the house. Them were eighteen
engines in the house, and they were also
destroyed. The total loss is estimated at
$175,000.
After thclunan and Turner.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.—The committee
appointed at the last session of the general
assembly of the Knights of Labor to inves-
tigate alleged irregularities in the accounts
of the secretary and treasurer of 1888 met
in executive session here for that. purpose.
The result of the investigation will be pub-
licly announced when the committee has
finished its labors. .
Governor llll‘. No Wol‘se.
ALBANY, Feb. 20.—-Governor l'ull did not
appear at. the executive chamber Tuesday
morning. as was expected, but word was
brought that he was no worse, and was re-
maining away to render assurance doubly
sure as. to his recovery.
FLAl‘IES IN ROCHESTER. ‘.
The'GI-and Opera House in Rainy—The
“’iudsor Hotel Damaged. ,
ROCHESTER Feb. 20.7~Fire started in the
Grand Opera‘ house, on St. Paul street, a
few minutes before 4 o’clock Thursday
morning and the. building was quickly re?
duced to a min. Just before the flames
appeared Officers O’Grady and Sherman,
who were at the corner of St. Paul and
Main streets, heard an explosion in the
opera house and immediately. afterward
the snioke burst out. They gave an alarm
and the fire.._-department was quickly on
the scene. But the fire had been making
rapid progreSs, and the best the firemen
could do was to prevent the fire spreading
to the surrounding property.
The Windsor hotel, next south of the
Opera house, unoccupied except by one
man, who kept a shooting gallery on" the
ground floor, was badly damaged by fire
and water, the fire being mainly confined
to the roof and two upper stories. The
fire in the hotel followed down the elevator
well, which is also burned. There
is nothing left of the opera. house building
except the four walls, but there may be
something saved from the stores on the -
ground floor, although they are nearly
filled with debris.
Edward Beagle, a lineman of Hose 6,
Was working in Water street, back of the
theatre. At about 6 o’clock he was struck
on the head by afalling brick and knocked
down. His scalp was out quite badly, and
he was taken to the police station, where
his wounds were dressed.
The loss on the opera house is probably
$90,000. The loss on the hotel is about $40,-
000. The fire was caused by an explosion
in the furnace of the Opera House build-
mg.
IDENTIFIED BY HIS DIOTHER.
Buried in Potter’s Field—Sad Ending to_
a Roving Disposition.
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Feb. 20.—0ne month
ago the mangled remains of an unknown
man were found at the east end of the
New York Central railroad yards at East
Syracuse. Burial was made in the Potter’s
field without identification. Thursday
Mrs. Fitzgerald, of Buffalo, accompanied
by her daughter, identified the body as
that of her son, Patrick Fitzgerald. She
says he left her home in Buffalo for a trip
through England and Ireland in the com-
pany of \Villiam Phillips.
Phillips’ father, who was formerly boss
of the grain elevators of Buffalo, died a.
year ago, leaving a life insurance policy of
$10,000 and considerable property to his
widow. Then young Phillips opened a
saloon and Fitzgerald tended bar. Four
months ago Phillips stole $442 from his
mother and induced Fitzgerald to accom-
pany him on a roving expedition. Mrs.
Fitzgerald heard from her son after that
but once. He wrote that he was going to
England. It now seems'that he was re-
turning home, his funds having given out,
and that he was killed while stealing a
ride on a train. The remains will be taken
up and sent to Buffalo.
Another Baseball War.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.——The action of the
national baseball magnates in the Stovey
and Bierbauer cases has splashed blood
all over the face of the baseball moon.
There is war and rumors of war. The
American association has deposed Allen
”W. Thurman. from the presidency, and
elected in his stead Louis Kramer, of Cin—
cinnati, who assumes the duties of presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer. The Asso-
ciation has also withdrawn from the na-
tional agreement, and threatens to insert
the knife in the old League whenever op-
portunity offers. It is even rumored that
Roger Connor and Tim Keefe will sign As-
sociation contracts. The National league
men only smile and shrug their shoulders.
What the outcome will be it is hard to
foretell.
James Gordon Bennett Sued.
NEW YORK, Feb. SQ-A cable dispatch-
from London to The Recorder says: A
petition in bankruptcy was filed against
the International News company, the own-
ers of Galignani’s Messenger in Paris. It
will be heard on the 28th instant, and
meanwhile a receiver will be appointed.
The directors have brought an immediate
action against James Gordon Bennett for
damages estimated at $100,000. It is not
likely that Galignani will cease to be pub-
lished, but the company owning it must
go into liquidation, and the paper will
probably be carried on by individual de-
benture holders.
A Sickening Sight.
ALTOONA, Pa, Feb. 20.—The, body of
George Collier, a. well known citizen of
this place, was found on the mountain
side, along the “Kattel” road. Mr. Collier
had been missing for three months. His
mind had become deranged through ill-
ness, and nothing was known as to his
whereabouts until the discovery. The re-
mains presented a sickening sight—the
face, neck, hands and other portions of the
body having been eaten away by wild
beasts. The body was identified by means
of papers found on it. Collier, it is be-
lieved, froze to death.
Lots of Crookedness.
GRINNELL, 1a., Feb. 20.——An expert ac-
countant has been examining the county
books, and finds a shortage of $8,000 in an
ex—auditor’s accounts and $550 in those of
the clerk. The latter confessed judgment.
The county attorney has been instructed
to take legal steps to secure to the county
the money due it. Two other county offi-
cers were found to have overdrawn their
account nearly $1,000, but have paid in full.
, Office Sacked and Editor Arrested.
WICHI'I‘A, Kan, Feb. 20.—N. S. Mounts,
editor of The Goldwater Advocate. whose
office was sacked Tuesday, has been .ar-
rested on a. charge of maliciously libeling
the treasurer of Comanch county, J.
Holdly. The Advocate has published
several articles charging the complainant
with embezzling both public and private
funds. Mounts gave bonds for his appear-
once.
The World’s Fair.
*CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—The executive com-
mittec of the World’s fair directory
adopted a resolution urging congress to
make adequate provision for the Colum-
bian naval review in April, 1893. The com-
mittee also authorized the establishment
of..a World’s fair eastern department at
New York under the charge of Col. Alex-
ander D. Anderson, of Washington.
