zfflsmm nwft- - e THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. MONDAY, MARCH 30, I89L A1SING THE SIEGE Testerday's Iiaimy Weather Lessened the Sufferings of Pittsburgers Sick With the Grip. SAD SCENES AT THE CEMETERIES. A'omcrous Funerals at the Sams Tims in Different Sections of the Cities of the Dead. IXTERMEXI AFTEll DAEKXESS BEGAX The BUtxncu or Night Aids to the Wicrdani of til Serial Ctrcncrirf. Notwithstanding the balmy spring weather of yesterday, which should hare brought joy and gladness to crery heart, scores of Pittsburg homes were dull and cheerless because of some loved member who fell a victim to that distressing dis ease, the grip. Amid the gay scenes of ac tivity and life in the suburb?, where walks aud drives were the pleasures of thousands, there were found here and there the somber evidences of mourning and the line of car riages indicating that one piece of hu manity had returned to its clay and was being carried away to its last resting place in Mother Earth from whence it came. Scarcely ever in the history of the city were so many lunerals seen in one day. There were several at every cemetery, and people would stand clustered about the grave of a friend mourning his loss while not a verv great distance away a sim ilar party mourned, but for another. One funeral followed another, and one hearse might have carried to their last homes the remains of several. There were funerals at all hours and when darkness began settling down over the city all was not over, as long after nightfall returning carriages were teen to leave the gates. It was nearly mid night when the grim work was over and the bereaved friends had all returned to their homes and firesides to think of him who had gone out forever. Burial services in a cemetery when the dusk is gathering are weird to say the least, and the best some times must shudder at such a time. Undertakers Were Kept Busy. The undertakers had the busiest day yes terday that they have experienced since the grip got a cinch on the city. Funerals be gan as early as 9 o'clock A. ai. and contin ued until nearly 7 o'clock r. m., at which hour a iuneral procession left a Southside house for its long drive to the cemetery, where the last sad rites were read over the remains of a little girl who fell a victim to the grip. The increase in the number of grip pa tients is growing somewha less rapid, and the physicians express hopes for an entire cessation of the epidemic within a very few days. The weather has changed to the kind which, it it continues, would in a ee days drive all the ofleusive properties from the atmosphere and leave the patients to merely eat and grow strong again. Physicians re ported only a few new cases yesterday and the same satisfactory reports came from the hospitals. There were no new cases at the Home opathic, and they only have about 25 patients there at present. The Mercy Hos pital received three new sufferers from the grip, and two were taken in at the West Penn. At the latter institution there are abotlt 33 or 40 on the list, including attaches of the institution. Patients who have been in the hospitals are said to have felt much better yesterday, and it is hoped that their improvement will continue. 1 ill Drive Out the Microbes. The weather indications are for a continu at.ou of the sunshine and warmth of yester day, and if the old saw about March "com ing in like a lion and going out like a lamb" is true the gentle qualities should be seen at the exit With this iu mind, the hopes of the suf ferers rise, and itis believed that ere many days have passed all the germs will have dis appeared. I A Pittsburg lady yesterday discovered a I novel plan for at least temporarily relieving her sullerincs from the gup. She was most severely allected in the throat, and there she applieahot roasted potatoes, just as hot as she could bear them, one after the other. The plan is novel and mlgut bo called ridiculous were it not ior the fact that the lady telt greatly re lieved. Tins is a remedy that can do no harm if it does no good. However, it is not bet for people to try remedies of any kind without first consulting a physician. There are persons so anxious to help outsufferinghunian- ity as to uir.ke mistakes in their haste. This fart was evidenced by a letter received by a ell-kno n Allegheny physician, who says that a prescription published jestcrday would be aluionsurc to kill the patient who would take it. Ihere i no probability that a druggist would rill the prescription, as a pharmacist is expected to know what he is about in such cases. Enough to Kill Four Men. The doctor says that aconite root one of the most deadly poisons and the largest dose is not over three drops. According to the pre scription there would be at least one-sixteenth ofanounoe, or about 41 drops to the dose, which is calculated to kill quicker than the grip. The doctor is very anxious that no one should try the prescription and adds the grim Joke that while it might cure the grip it might send the patient to a land where there is not only no grip, but no chance of communicating with friends if he should get out or money. Yesterday's death rate was considerably below that of Saturday or Fndaj-. Scores of people who have been on Ihe sIck list appeared on the streets j'esterday again for the tirst time. The epidemic is apparently subsiding and it begins to look more rueerf uL 1 here have been a good many deaths recorded that were not due to the grip. The general oppressiveness of the weather the past few da has caused the end of a great number of old people, who only needed a slight indisposi tion to snap the thread of life. For this rea son the homes for the aged men and womon had many more than tho usual number of deaths tho past few day. The death notices, as publishea in The Dispatch, take up more than twice the usual amount of room, which indicates the extent of the grip epidemic as well as the general unhealthy condition of the atmosphere. There were 15 burial parmits issued at the Allegheny Health office yesterday morning, when it closed lor the day, as is the custom on Sundays. Usually there are Dnttuoor tbreo asked for on Sundays, but the prevalence of death by grip caused the increase in the num ber issued. A Church Without a Minister. No services were held in the First Congre gational Church of Allegheny yesterday be c .use of the serious illness of the pastor, Rev. h. v.

A SUDDEN D2ATH. Stephen W. Harley sucdurabi to Grip at the Homeopathic Hospital. The sudden demise of Stephen W. Harley Saturday was a great surprise to his many friends. Mr. Harlev two weeks ago was taken down with the grip and went to the Homeo pathic Hospital for treatment, where ho died at 425 o'clock.

He searched tho Scanlon boy, but did not find any, and then asked Scott for one. The boy moved away, and Smiley said: If you don't gle me one 3 ou'll get the load from this irun." He car ried a Fiobert rifle, and pointed it at the boy. The latter ran aud tried to reach the street corner 20 feet away, but Smiley shot at him be fore he succeeded. The boy cried ont with pain and dropped to tho ground. Smiley ran to him aud told him to say it was an accident. The boy Lanahan started at once for a doctor and secured both Drs. Patterson aud Scott, who found a wound In the boj's back unaer the right shoulder blade and hadhlm taken home. The ball had pasted through the ribs and lodged In the right lung.

Everyone advertises nowadays, then everyone should subscribe for Printer's Ink. There are no text books on advertising, and but few charts to describe its wide waters, where richly freighted merchantmen proud ly sail under full canvas, while the deep waters cover innumerable wrecks which lie on the bottom. Printer's Ink is a light house, und the advertiser who does not pay his $2 (the annual subseription) is willfully "going it blind." Two dollars is at most a light marine insurance, in such a case. It is said that there are 40,000 advertisers in the United States who expend sums run ning fromSlO a year to 40,000. It this is the case Printer's Ink (published by George P. Itowell & Co., New York) ihould have 49,000 subscribers, because 2 would be a small percentage, even on the outlay of 10 for such vital information.. MJejitfgf, ,-i-fc Wjrjfe LINKED ARM-IN-ARM. Easter and Spring Dance in Together in the Sunsninr, and A'ro GREETED WITH A WARM WELCOME. Thousands ot Pretty Bonnets and Xew Suits on the Streets. SOME OF THE i'EATDKLS OP THE DAI Easter arrived yesterday with Spring lean ing on hir arm, like a proud and happy yonth accompanied by his coy but lovely bride. The joyful greeting she received from the Children of Earth brought a vivid smile to the lace of the beautiful maiden. Then Nature doffed her dull dun garments for reception robes of emerald and gold, as Old Sol burst through the clouds with a hearty laugh at Winter's discomfiture, while the hoary tyrant skulked away, cast ing chilling glances behind him at his suc cessor. Easter and Spring made their entry right royally. Tender blades of grass sprang up under their light footsteps; the green buds peeped forth to see them go by, and the birds caroled pesos of praise to the welcome pair. The bursting forth of- nature from the tomb of winter, and its awakening into a new and vivid life, was symbolical of the glorious resurrection which the day com memorates. The earth put off the dark, dank vestments of the grave and arrayed itself in the brighter garments which an nounce the coming of the summer. The world rejoiced in the dual announcement of spiritual and physical victory "The grave is vanquished; winter is past!" AH Dressed in Their Best. Everybody tha't is, everybody who is anybody and has the price wears some thing new on Easier Sunday. This is not a superstition, but a semi-religious observ ance, and it was remarkable yesterday to see how many residents of the two cities were both religious and prosperous. New, shiny plug hats were too common for notice, neckties of gorgeous hues were overywhere. while spring suits were almost as numerous as the sanus on the seashore. Good clothes were more plenti ful yesterday than good resolntlons on New YcaVsDay. lint the bonnets I Oh, the bonnets! Vanity is declared to be a feminine tolly, and if woman has any particular vanity, like the Rev. Mr. Stlgglns' desire for hot rum, it is her bonnet. Tbo bonnets on the streets yesterday exceeded in number and variety of shape and hue any thing ever before seen. They commonced with the $2 49 arrangement ot tho modest milliner, and dunned up to 20 productions of our best natite artists. Then the) jumped to the crea tions ol Parisian experts, who exchange two ounces of feathers, flowers and ribbons for an equal weight in diamonds. The bonnets were pretty enough to attract male attention, while the faces beneath them well, cverjbody has heard of ihe beauty of Allegheny county girls. Slightly Mixed on tho Seasons. Easter is the dividing line between winter and summer, and it kept some people guessing as to which side they were on. They needed the official announcement "The King is dead, long live the King!" to set them right. In con sequence they paid tribute to botb potentates- by combining spring bonnets with sealskin sacques, and light suits and patent-leather shoes with ulsters. New clothes are not only made to he worn, but also to be seen by otners, and perhaps that is the reason the streets were crowded all day long. Thousands went to church and wor shiped with true religious fervor, offering praise and prajer for the glorious prom ise of redemption for the human race. Others, and thousands of them. too, were attracted by the life-giving rays of the suu, which shown with the brilliancy and warmth of midsummer, wnllo still others went out to see and be seen. Every thoroughfare was full ot lite, but especially the broader ave nues, where the sun held full snav. Many went forth wall pallid face aud drooping spirits, to return with rosy cheeks and quickened pulse. The man who sits up in tho eighth story of the Schmidt Block and directs the weather, leaned back In bis chair complacently for once he was in harmony with the people and they were satisfied. He and the sun had reconciled thousands of thu human race to life as they found it. Looking for the Flowers of Spring. Tho Allegncny Parks wcro crowded all day 'long. If there were no flowers laid out, the weather was full of promise, and the green grass and budding trees afforded relief to eyes tired of gray skies and soggy streets. There was no lack of flowers in the conservatories, where a magnificent display of hyacinths, cro cuses and other spring flowers were thrown open to the public, and afforded pleasure to thousands. Quito a nuraler ot persons went out to Scuenley Park, but it was hardly iu sum mer trim. Some ot the moro venturesome sought for early wild flowers on sheltered hill sides, but their reward was not great. Every bugey in the two cities as out yester day afternoon. 1 he number of young men with pretty best girls who went outriding jes tcrday was astonishing, and the careless, grace ful ease with which some ot the young ladies leaned back in the o-an-hour rigs, while tbev regarded their friends on the sidewalk with haughty indifference, was really impressive. Forbes street, Highland avenue aind other smoothly-paved East End thoroughfares were crowded with equipages of all sorts and condi tions, from tbo mud-covered milk wagon with a horse warranted not to run under any circum stances, to the spick-and-span sidebar buggy wilh its 2:20 pacer. While racing was not gen eral a trial of speed between two horses was not uncommon. Special Services In the Churches. Special services were held in all the churches, ana meny of them were profusely decorated with flowers, and especially lilies. 'Ihe attendance at all of them was larzc, drawn thither by the sacrod character of the day. and iu some cases by tho attractive musical programmes prepared. The services in St. Paul's Cathedral were those usual to the occasion. There was solemn high mass at 10.30 o'clock, and a full choir ren dered Haydn's first mass in a hno manner. Large congregations wcro present at the earlv services, and the big church was tilled at the late miss. The altar was. handsomely decorated, and the sunbeams floating in through tbo stained windows lighted up the Cathedral with beautiful effect. Rev. M. M. Sheedy. pastor or St. .Mary's Church, concluded his sermon on the Resur rection by saying: "No iact in all historv is so fully established as the fact of tho resurrec tion. Note the proofs; how tho world's hope lay in that single grave. This fact has changed the whole coarse of human historv. Ihe change begau on. tho first Easter day. New life, new hopo rose on that day death robbed of Its sting, the grave of its victory. Observed at the Hotels. Sunday is always a quiet day among the hotels, but guests wero up bright and early yesterday, some to go to church, but tho major ity to get up a good appetite for dinner. Those who expected trimmings on the bill of fare were not disappointed at the Anderson. A special menu in honor of the day was prepared, and it lacked nothing in dainties or substautials which the markets could afford. From redhead duck down to cold ham with a savory gravy, the list of meats lacked for nothing, and the epicure who couldn't satisfy bis appetite was a very bad judso of a very good lull ot fare. The menu opened like a book, and was taste fully executed. The external coverings were ornamented with bright pictures of children worked in old gold. It was one of the neatest cards seen for a long time. At the other hotels they had extra dinners, but no special prepara tions to observe the day had been made. ONE LITTLE EASTEK CONFESSION. A Cleveland Man Says Ho Surreptitiously Borrow ed 880 Daring Lent. Yesterday afternoon a young man about IS years of age w alked into the Allegheny Mayor's office and said bo was wanted by the police of Cleveland for the larceny of SSO.

A YOUNG TOUGH'S PROMISE. Harry Chambers Jlnkes a Frobably Fatal Assault on Officer Rittner Ills Skull Is Fractured and Ills Ifose Is Broken The Assnllaut and Ills Companions Caught. Harry Chambers has kept his promise. Officer John Bittner, of the Allegheny force, is at his home suffering from wounds which may cause his death. They were inflicted by Chambers and four companions early yesterday morning. Chambers, and in fact all the others, have enjoyed an acquaint ance with the police. The last time Chambers was sent to the workhouse Officer Iiittner made tho arrest. When he was sentenced 30 days he swore he would get even with Rittner as soon as he was released. He had only been out five davs when the assault was made. It was shortly after midnight when Officer Ulttner passed flvo men on Robinson street at ihe corner of Corry. As he passed ho was struck in tho back of the head with a cobble stone and knocked down. The men lumped on him and hit again and again. He called for as sistance and then became unconscious. Roundsman Lee heard the call and as he ap peared on the scene the men fled. When he reached Corry street he found Bittner lvlng with his face and head covered with blood. He awaKencd Adam Grubbs, a druggist at the corner ol Cr.iic and Lacock streets, one blocu away, and together lhey carried the officer to the drugstore. He was restored to cousclousr, ness and told tho names of his assailants,' but shortly after fell over again in a swoon from loss of blood. Ihe patrol wagon removed him to his home, where he lies In a prcrarious condition. The blow on tho hack of his head fractured the skull. His face is all cut and mashed in, his noso broken and lips cut. His physician will allow nobody to see him. Detective Johnson and Roundsman Lee at once started out to find tho .men accused by Bittner of the assault. It was after 3 o'clock when they got four of them, Harry Chambers, Harry Uvans, Richard Megram and Robert Marcellus. About 7 o'clock Detective Johnson arrested another. John Mitchell, who is said to be the partuer of Chambers, the principal in the attack. Ritt ner claims that Chambers was the one who hit him and knocked bim down lirst and the others were in the crowd and encouraged him to continue the attack. Chambers is only 20 years of age and lives with his mother, a re spectable old lady in the First ward. Officer Rittner is one of the best officers on the force. He is about 40 sears, old a. id mar- riod. His condition was so bad at 10 o'clock lastnight that Dr. Uazzard was sent for. The five men will be held to await tho result of the officer's injuries. ANOTHEE MEETING 10-DAY. Union Switch and Signal Directors From Roston Refuse to Talk. K. F. Water, W. Scott Fitz and Sigourney Butler, tho Boston crowd who turnod the Union Switch and Signal Company upsido down and elected A. T. Rowand to the Presi dency, arrived last evenintr. A meeting of the directors will be held at the Duquesne Club to day to attend to tho affairs of the company. An attempt was made to get some information from Mr. Butler, but he would say nothing. Ho wuuldn't even admit that a mcctinghad been called for to-day. The other gentlemen said they were tired and begged to he excused. It was rumored last evening that George Wcstinzhouse, Jr., would be re-elected to the Presidency, but this is not expected by the most sanguine of his friends. It is denied also that an assignment will bo made. This could only bo done by a vote of the directors, and the Roston peonle nave no desire to put tho com pany into the hands nf a receiver. Whatever is done, a surprise Is in store for somobudy. EASTEK LIST OF MISHAPS. Pittshurg and Allegheny Wore Almost Free From Serious Accidents. Fortune smiled almost as brightly as the sun yosterday.

ALLEGBENIANS WILL BE HEARD Bofore Any Announcements Will Ee Mado as to ruisbnrjr. SCENES AND INCIDENTS OP THE COURT In every place where people have great expectations there must be an "anxious seat," because whether there be one or not these aforesaid candidates for something good on the one hand and something not quite so good on the other make even the softest cushioned chair or finest upholstered tcte a tete a veritable anxious seat, even if the candidate is a very young and hand some man and a very young and beautiful daughter of some older candidate occupies a snug portion of the same seat. Allegheny county's criminal court room, in which the Judges of tho License Court now hold forth to large audiences daily, Saturdays ex cepted, is well provided with anxious seats. There are numerous kinds of anxiety bnt they are all anxious seats nevertheless. Tbo applicants are anxious to know their fate and they will occupy those same seats for several days to come, notwithstanding alleged interviews with Judge Magee to the cfleLt that decisions would be handed down on Tuesday. The lawyers, too, are on the anxious seat: anxious to know whether they will get more than a retainer out of their clients' pockets, which they will if the clients arc successful. B. C. Christy is on the anxious seat regarding one of the wards, as he is paid "per knock-out, no knock-out no pay." The jury box contains 12 anxious seats, the majority of which are usually ocenpied by W. C. T. TJ. ladies, who are anxious to see as few saloons as pos sible. Will That Time Ever Come? The judges and court officials are anxious to get through as soon as possible, and the newspaper representatives are anxious to know If there Is any possibility of Judse Whito changing the order or number of questions in his catechism. With all this anxiety there is no probability of tho sigh of relict being heaved from the bos oms of even tho Pittsburg applicants for sev eral days at least. A conference is necessary before the decisions can bo made, and the judges are not inclined to quit work In the middle of the week to hold that conference. The strong probabilities are that when Alle gheny has been finished the decisions on the two cities will be made and all Handed down. Then work on the remainder of the county will proceed. Applicants whose hopes were raised by any other reports can return to the Court House and resume their places on the anxious seat, prepared to remain there until tho last of this week or the first nf next. All is monotony ;and over tho sameness notwithstanding there are times and sceues when License Conrt Is as good as tho palmy days ot the 10-cent circus or an Undo Tom's Cabin show in a provincial village. It would not do to liken it to "Ten Nights in a Bar Room," for that would bo too realistic by half and realism carried to extremes is worse than no reality. Asleep and no Feather Red. In the lobby the blacks and the whites inter mingle as readily as in a gamo of checkers, and all nationalities are represented with tho possi ble exception of the Chinese, whose tastes run to opium. The tastes of tho average colored man vary and ne can enjoy himself attheex pensooftbe shivering victim who quails be fore tho searching dance of Judge White who appears .to see clear through a man's private life even before he left the classic nrecincts of thu Rhine or the beautiful hogs of Kilkenny as thouzh he were in the midst of the parquet circle with both eyes and ears taking in the splendor of Edwin Booth in his favorite char acter. One day last week one of these sons of Ham, through listeuing so long to one ot the soothing lectures ot the presiding judge, was lulled into a sweet, peaceful sleep. In proof of the peace fulness thereof, a beautiful smile, as radiant as possible under the circumstance of the bronze background, suffused his countenance and for full half an hour not even the lightest sigh escaped his lip-. But it could not last forever, and when a deal applicant took his place before tne bar of hope which sometimes ends iu despair the Judge was compelled to talk so loud as to disturb the slumberer. It Was Quito a Descent. A bailiff might have been despatched to the lobby to bee the gentleman's pardon, hut he immediately aisappeared after having rubbed his eyes sufflcienilytocaufo his muddled senses to descend from the height of their fanciful dreams to the common level of a License Court. Under ordinary circumstances it would be laboring under difficulties to sleep standinzun. but In the License Court lobby it would be im possible to do other than stand up. because of the crowd, so that sleeping would be no great task for one who knows nocare and thinks of nothing moro than a common suit of clothes and a well-supplied stomach. Not many rows nf chairs In advance of this sleeper was a sight that would give a firm believer in tbo occasional roturn of restless departed spirits a good argument to advance on his side of the theory. There, with one leg thrown over the knee qt the other, and with his big thoughtful eyes fixed on the court, sat an old man whose striking likeness to old Thaddcus btcvens offered a theme for con siderable discussion. Ills luxuriant white hair was thrown negligently back over his head, and here and there a stray lock would steal down over his forehead, when he would carelessly brush it aside and resume bis steady attention to the proceedings. An Oasis in tho Desert. Whether tbo old gentleman was merely a spectator or had somo special interest in the day's programme matters not; he made a re freshing oasis in the desert ot tho court room, and dozens of persons there would be glad to havo him return again. His honest, open countenance was strangely in contrast to some of the other disinterested frequenters of the place. It is surprising the number of women who are willing and anxious to sacrlQco the modesty and gentility of their sex by keening a saloon. and even by going behind the bar and dealing out drinks. It looks all right In a man, but a woman seems strangely out of place. At least she doos when it happens to be a joungand rather prepossessing woman, and then Judge White beams do An over his spectacles with a kindly eye, and questions the propriety ot such a proceeding. Not that they are not successful sometimes, and perhaps of ton. but the Judge doesn't fancy the Idea and takes every oppor tunity to frown upon It. Still thoy come, and they will doubtless continue to the end of tlmo or at least to the end of License Court. The Judge's e)e and lectures are reserved for tho young women, and many an aged female, with a very red face, likewise a very coarse voico, gets off with less talk than a man. Tendered a Great Recoptlon. A reception is not usually gotten up for an applicant, so an aged German had good reason to feel proud Fridav. as most profuse arrange ments had to be made to allow bim a chance to be seen as well as heard. He was not built alter the moit approved and latest style of architecture, but, on the contrary, it was after tho manner of our forefathers, who had plenty of room on the ground floor, andweie not com pelled to bntld so high into tne air. He was little lHau, uui, ou tue uiuer uanu. was Immense if the proper proportions had only been respected. But they wero not, and the result was that there was about 185 pounds of human flesh crowded Into a perpnndicular'space of about 5 feet, while his breadth of beam was enough for two men. To top off this thick-set little native of Germany was a good-sized bead, a smilinr face and ejes twinking with merriment. Shortly before his arraignment be remarked to his next neichboi s, who happened to bo of the same nationality: "Vou Germans won't be in it. You'll be thrown out on your shapes." This man's attorney was a little dubious about tho result If not more than an Inch of his client's symmetrical proportions could bn seen by the Judge, so ho slid a large stone spittoon over In front of the bench for him- tn stand on, in order that he might gain three or four luches in stature. Did Not Use the llrlclc . The applicant succeeded in getting his eyes in sight of the Courr, however, without putting "the bnck on his head," and when he saw the preparations made tor him it was with diffi culty that the examination proceeded, as be felt moro inclined t laugh than to answer questions. Ho got along first-rate, and would make a veritable jolly keopor of a jolly good old-rasbioncd inn. A dealer in fashions would have a rare lot of styles to pick from were be to visit the License Court on any day that it is in session. Everv. thing from the grotesque or the meager to tbe superfluously ParUlaa Is on tap. Tho tirit J, man Is liable to come np rigged out in clothes of the latest fashion, and be Immediately fol lowed by a man in a uniform such as would de light the eye of a collector of antiquities. A very strange contrast was noted in the case of a young applicant and his attorney the other day. The "former wore a long Prince Albert and white necktie, while his pantaloons were somewhat abbreviated at thelbottom, and a shine would have somewhat improved his brogans. The attorney was a young man who was attired directly to the opposite. Ho wore a somewhat too short coat which showed conclu sively that ho wore no patches, hts pantaloons were the latest cut, he wore patent leather shoes and walked pigeon-toed. What a chance there would have been for rapid change ar tists! One might have turned out a gayly at tired city man throughout, while the other could havo appeared in the coarse, ill-fitting garments of a provincial.

A Morbid Crowd Interferes Wilh the Burial of a Chinaman BY SUEEOUXDIBG THE OPEN GEAYE Fall Bearers With the Coffin Forca Their - Way Thron'sh tte ilob. THE HOUND BOBBED OF ITS OFFERINGS Jen Sue, a Southside lanndryman, who died last Monday, was buried yesterday. Ee was a member of tbe Chinese Masons, and the funeral was put off to Sunday to give the members a chance to attend. A delegation of CO Chinamen, beaded by the Second Brigtde Band, assembled at Sara son's undertaking place yesterday afternoon. They carried a Chinese flag and woro red, white and black knots. Without ceremony tbe coffin was placed in the hearse and tbe proces sion started. Tbe funeral to the grave was conducted in accordance with tbe Chinese custom. As the cortege entered the cemetery, the crowds who had followed scattered thronzh tbe grounds, each one intent on securing tho most available place to see the ceremonies. There were several open graves, and around each gathered a crowd of curiosity seekers. As the procession moved past each the crowd ran along to tho next grave, ovor tombs and head3"ones, utterly disregard ing tbe fact that they wero in a cemetery and somo little respect should be shown to the dead. Finally tbe grave was located on tbe hillside, above tho Pleasant Valley power bouse. By the time tbe cortege arrived tbe moo had entirely surrounded the grave, and it was next to an impossibility to move. 'The fla-bcarer, fnllnued by tne pallbearers with tho cuffin, had to push their way through the crowd, who, seemingly, did not care whether the body reached its last resllngplaceor nor. After considerable nushing the funeral party succeeded in reach inr the crave, where the last rites according to Chinese belief were performed. After lower ing the boay into the gravo-a large hamper, containing a small roast pig. chicken and fruit, was placed in the grave, in order that the de ceased might have food on his long journey. The mourners then lighted a lot of joss paper and joss sticks, wbich were scattered around tho edge of tbe grave. In leaving the last resting place of their countryman they had almost to fight their way through tbe crowd. When the carriages were reached each man took what looked like a small piece ot candy and ate lr, and then entered tbe carriages. After they were all seated a coin wrapped in joss piper was handed to each one: the coins were scattored along tho routo on the way hump. This is sup posed tn attract the evil spirits' attention from the departed until he reached a haven nf rest. After the Chinamen had left tan grave the crowd pounced down like so many vul tures, each eager to securo something as a souvenir of the ceremony. A more dis graceful sight is hard to imagine. Men and buys hauled and pulled at eaeh other, eager to secure a small portion of the joss sticks or pa per. There was not enongh i go around, as the cfowd numbered about 1,500. and those who failed to secure a piecu contented 'bemselves with looking at tbe attendants filling np the grave. Tbo jeers rnd cat-calls of tho irrepres sible small boy adued to tbe non-impressive-ness of tbe scene. Hugus & Hacke PRINTED INDIA SILKS CREPE DU CHINE.
