A MONSTER PROCESSION.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.—Gen. William Te
cumseh Sherman was given a soldier’s
burial Saturday in Calvary cemetery. The
great procession which accompanied .the
body to the grave was four miles long and
contained over 12,000 men, exclusive of the
regular army escort. The national guard
of half a dozen states, veterans by thou-
sands. sons of veterans and civilians turn-
ed out to do honor to the dead hero and
Show by their presence the respect in which
they held the memory of the citizen and
their devotion to the soldier.

It was nearly 2 o’clock when the head of
the procession reached Calvary. Au im-
mense crowd had already passed through,
but a large force of police had kept open
the route to the grave and prevented in-
trusion upon the space required by the
family. Outside the gates the cavalry and
. rtillery deployed to the right and left.
Gently the veterans of the Thirteenth lift-
ed the casket from the caisson and ten-
derly, with slow and measured tread, they
bore it through “the way of Bethany” and
to its crossing with the “Holy Rosary.”
Here they laid it down upon a bier, and
father, mother, son and babe were united
in death.

An Impressive‘Funeral Service.

Father Thomas E. Sherman retired to the
shelter of an adjacent tomb, just within
the circle of blue coated soldiers who held
the crowd in check. He hurriedly donned
his priestly vestments and, prayer book in
hand, returned to the head of the grave,
where the other members of the family
were gathered in a semi-circle. When the
bearers placed the casket on the supports
above the grave the bugles blew a solemn
call and the band played the first few bars
of Plyel’s hymn. As the sound died away
Father Sherman ~ removed his hat, and
opening his prayer book began the service
of the Catholic church or er the remains of
his distinguished father. The relatives and
friends of the family and the guests gath-
ered in a close group about the grave and
stood with heads uncovered and revereutly
bowed as Father Sherman read in Latin
and English the simple impressive prayers
for the repose of the soul of the dead.

Lowered Into the Grave.

“hen the service began the battalion of
infantry stood at present arms, facing the
little group about the grave. In the midst
of the services a hoarse, low voice gave the
command: “Carry arms!” “Order arms!"
in quick succession, and the sharp click of
the musket barrel and the ring of the butt
as it struck the ground gave singularly
impressive accentuation to the solemn
words of the young priest. In the middle
of the service the supports were removed
from the casket, and it was lowered into
the big brass bound oaken box placed just
above the grave to receive it. The service
was of the Catholic church for the burial of
a layman. Father Sherman was assisted by
two aeolytes. He concluded with the in-
vocation: “May his soul and the souls of
all the faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen. In the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.”

As the last words were being uttered six
of the undertaker’s assistants quickly low-
ered the casket into the open grave.

Meantime Father Sherman had retired
to remove his vestments. Returning he
placed his arm about his elder sister, who
was much overcome by her grief, and of-
fered words of encouragement and solace
to her. The members of the family stood
by the grave until it had been filled com-
pletely. Then ex-President Hayes and'
Gen. Scholicld went over to Mr. Fitch and
young Mr. Sherman, and at their sugges-
tion the family retired to the carriages
which stood in waiting for them.

The Final Salute.

“Clear that space beyond the grave,”
cried Gen. Forsythe. The crowd cleared a
spot just beyond the grave and directly op-
posite the line of infantry. Quick and
sharp came the command,- which was as
quickly obeyed:

“Load, fire by battalion; ready, aim,
f i re!”

There was a rattle of musketry, and as a.
cloud of smoke rolled over the new made
grave again the command came, “Load.”

Another volley was, fired and another.
Sharp on the echo of the last came the ex-
plosion of cannon at a distance. A triple
cannon salute was fired. Then a solitary
bugler mounted the little mound and,
standing at the foot of the grave, blew a
mournful, solemn call, “Taps, lights out.”

As the final note died away the mourners
turned their faces from the grave. The
crowd began quickly to disperse. A guard
of infantry, six men, was detailed to watch
the grave and the orders were given to the
troops to take up the march to quarters.

Back to a Desolate Home.

The Sherman family and most of those
who had accompanied them from New
York were taken directly back to the train
which stood in the Union depét ready for
departure. It was not 4 o’clock when they
reached their private cars, to which they
immediately retired. The funeral train
left Union depot at S p. In. All of the mem—
bers of the family, Secretaries Rusk and
Noble, Assistant Secretary Grant, Gen.
Schofield, Gen. Howard and all of the dis-
tinguished members of the party returned
with it. '

In Collusion with Convicts.

BOSTON, Feb. 23.——Oflicer Samuel Titus,
of the Charlestown State prison, has been
suspended by the warden for purchasing
tobacco from the prisoners which was fur—
nished by the state and selling it outside.
Titus is said to have confessed. It is a se-
rious offense, but it is not yet known ;
whether a criminal prosecution will be
made. The matter has set the officials to
thinking, and it is believed by them that .
this episode is the sequel to the long chap- ‘
ter of escapes and attempts at escape from
the prison of late.

TWENTY-SIX DEAD BODIES.

This Is the Number So Far Recovered,

but It Represents Probably Less
than a Third *of the Ac-
tual Loss of Life.

HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 23.—The first greal
disaster in the history of the Cumberlanr'.
coal fields occurred Saturday afternoon
when an explosion took place in the east
slope of the Spring Hill mines, resultingtir
large loss of life. It is impossible as yettt
ascertain the exact number of the killed
but already twenty—six bodies have beer
recovered and ten men have been brought
up alive but terribly mangled. They are
not likely to recover. The latest informa-
tion says that there were over 100 men dowr
in the shaft of the east slope at the time 01
the explosion, and that there is no doubl
that the loss of life will reach between
eighty and ninety, and perhaps a hundred.

The Cause a Mystery.

The cause of the disaster is a mystery, as
the slope was examined by a committee ol
the men last week and reinslflmed Satur‘
day by the deputy government inspector.
It is impossible to ascertain the number ol
men down the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion, but it is estimated at between sev-
enty and a hundred.

The mine has been completely wrecked:
choke damp set in immediately after the
explosion and all the men beyond the debris
where the explosion occurred are of Course
dead. Ventilation has been partially re-
stored and it is not believed that the mine
is on fire. The dead bodies so far recovered
are:

The wounded so far recovered are David
Merritt, David Lockhart, Cyrus Munro,
Harry Nash, Hyatt Noiles, John Dickens,
John B. Anderson, Gordon Carmichael,
Hugh Bunt, John Conway and several
others whose names could not be ascer-
taiued.

All the horses are killed. Brave volun-
teers are still down the pit, attempting to
cut through the debris to the victims whc
are known to be dead beyond the point
where the explosion occurred, but this
work is carried on with great difficulty, as
the rescuers are driven back by the deadly
choke damp. It is estimated that fully
forty men were killed. Doctors and coffins
are arriving by special train from Parrs-
boro, Amherst and Oxford.

Hear-trending Scenes.

The most terrible scenes were witnessed
at the pit’s mouth as the bodies were
brought up. The air was rent with the
heart-breaking shrieks of the wives and
mothers of the victims. '

This is the first great disaster which has
occurred in the Cumberland coal fields and
the third most disastrous in the history of
Nova Scotia. The two previous calamities
were the explosions at the Ford pit, Stel-
larton, ten years ago. when forty-five lives
were lost, and the disaster at the Trum-
moud mine, \Vcstville, seventeen years
ago, when sixty—five men were killed. The
Spring Hill mine is owned by English and
Mont-real capitalists. It employed 1,000
men and had an output of half a million
tons a year.

The W’ar on the Sugar Trust.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Judge Cullen, in
the supreme court, granted an order re-
quiring the five corporations of this state
connected with the sugar trust to show
cause on May 16 why they should not be
dissolved. These companies are Dick&
Meyer, De Castro & Donner, Moller &
Sierck. Havemeyer Sugar Refining com-
pany and Oxnard Brothers. The petition
in each case states that the company has,
by the action of the directors and the as-
sent of the stockholders, ceased to do busi-
ness and the capital stock has been in-
va-sfedin mortgage bonds of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company. None of
the companies has any liabilities, and it is
not only the wish of the stockholders that
it should be dissolved, but the attorney
general of the state has held that the com-
panies have become liable to forfeiture of
their charter.

Discussing Blaine’s Cornnlercial Treaty.

MADRID, Feb. 23.~At a cabinet meeting
Secretary Blaine’s proposed bases of a com-
mercial treaty with reference to Cuba. were
discussed. The Duke of Tctuan, minister
of foreign affairs, favored the treaty, urging
the benefit to be expected for the sugar and
tobacco interests of Cuba. The other min-
isters generally opposed the treaty, espe-
cially Senor Gos-Gayon, minister of finance,
who saw objections from the standpoint of
the revenues. He strenuously opposed the
measure as certain to flood Cuba with
American goods and to ruin the Spanish
export trade in wheat flour and other
articles. The minister of foreign affairs
and the minister of finance have since held
'laily conferences with a view to reconcil-
ing their ideas on the subject, but as yet
no compromise has been arrived at.

Rhode Island’s New Congressman.
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Feb. 23.—The election
for congress in the Second district resulted

‘ in the success of Page, Democrat, who has

about 5,600 majority. The election was a
tame affair on account of Congressman
Arnold’s declination to run and the gen-
cral abstinence of the Republicans from
voting. The Republican vote shows a fall

, ing off of nearly 8,000 votes as compare
' with the fall election. , \

complained to his family of feeling so ill
that he wanted rest. He asked his daugh-
ter to take a walk with him in the sub-
urbs, but on account of other duties the
young woman did not go.

He was advised by Mrs. Bancroft to go
and see a doctor, and not to attend his
classes that day. He left his home, No. 13
Greene street, about 8 o’clock. He did not

college. Inquiries for him began Monday
evening, and Tuesday night the news-
papers were informed of his disappearance.
The publication of the mystery brought
forth a dozen or more stories, some of
which were extraordinary, many people
saying that they had seen him.
The Last One Who Saw film.

One of these only was worthy of note.
Conductor Chace, of the Cranston street
car line, conversed with a man answering
his description on a car running from Ar-
lington to Cranston Print works at 9 a. m.
that day. The stranger said he had not
been sleeping well nights and wanted to
have a walk and exercise. Said he was
going to ride to the Print works and then
walk to Olneyville; So far as known
Chace is the last person who spoke with
Bancroft.

Timothy Whiting Bancroft was 53 years
old. He graduated at Brown university
in 1859: taught school in Massachusetts a
few years, and in 1868 was called to Brown
as professor of rhetoric and English liter-
ature.

The Baseball Situation.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—F. D. H. Robinson,
Walter Spalding and A. C. Anson have
left for Cincinnati. The latest develop-
ment in the baseball situation, by which
the American Association may lose some
of its star players, is the incentive for the
trip. The triumvirate will confer with
John T. Brush, and as a result the first
gun of the war may be fired by establish-
ing the National League club as the only
one in Cincinnati. “With such a dire pre-
cedent as that of last year,” said Mr.
Spalding last night. “I think many of the
Association players will prefer to play unr
der the protection of the National agree-
ment. In fact, I think they have been
looking for the chance for some time. Mr.
Spalding would not say what the precise
object of the trip was.

Lovers’ Tragic Fate.

BRADDOCK, Pa. Feb. 24.——Miss Annie
Quinn, of Hazlewood, and John Hughes,
of Benwood, W. Va, celebrated Washing-
ton’s Birthday by coming here to visit
Hughes’ uncle. \Vhile wait-ing fora re-
turn train they stepped off the depot plat-
form for a stroll along the tracks. They
had gone but a. few steps when the Phila-
delphia express thundered down upon
them. The girl was instantly killed, her
skull being frightfully crushed. Hughes
had both legs broken and mangled, his
skull fractured and was injured so badly
internally that he will die. The pair were
lovers and were to have been married
shortly.

Start-led by a. Meteor.

o’clock Monday morning a large meteor,
apparently about the size of a full moon,
was observed in the sky. It burst with a
loud report over Madison village, blazing
fragments scattering in every direction.
Houses were shaken as if by an earthquake,
and hundreds of people were awakened by
the concussion, which reverberated for
some moments, sounding like heavy rolling
thunder, while the shooting particles
seemed like so many flashes of lightning.

Saved Her Life but Lost Her Foot.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. %.-—Kate Willis, 8
girl of 17, in crossing the railway track in
the Louisville and Nashville yards here got
her foot caught, and was unable to extri-
cate it before a freight train backed down
upon her. Just as the car reached her she
fell flat upon the ground beside the track,
and saved her life with the loss of the foot.
She was taken to the hospital, and proba-
