THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JUKE 18, 1893.
HONORS TO TEE DEAD.
Thousands Flock to View the Be
mains of Father Mollinjrer.
THE CORPSE LYING IN STATE.
Solemn Services in the Church of the Most
llolj Xame,
"NO TRACE OF THE WILL TET FOTJXD
Tlie dead body of Father Zollinger "was
at 10.30 yesterday morning removed from
his lute residence to the Church of the Most
Holy Xarae, where it is still lyin; in state
and where about 10,000 people viewed
it yesterday. The funeral procession
from the dead man's residence
to the church he built and
honored, was impressive and doleful. In
the streets surrounding the dead man's
home and on the porches and in the windows
of adjoining houses thousands of people
crowded to watch the solemn train as it
moved to the church. Only the attending
priests and the intimate friends of the
lamented were admitted to the bouse
Just before the solemn procession moved
the golden chimes in the chapel of St. An
thony rang out a funeral dirge and the huge
bell on the Catholic church tolled in
coarser and more measured tones the knell
of the dead physician. "While the bells
pealed out their sad music 300 boys and
girls from the parochial school, led by Rev.
Father Meyer in his official robes, and the
altar boys bearing the crucifix and candles,
marched about the Zollinger horned chant
ing and siDging while the children and
the Rev. Father Meyer read the service for
the dead. After marching around the
house the children passed out into the
street and formed in two lines on either
side of the entrance.
Iltr Chnnt of sweet-Voiced Children.
Rising above the chant of the children
and the solemn voice of the officiating
priest, there came the mellow tones of the
choir, indicating that the procession had
started. Instantly the great crowd on the
outside uncoered and bowed reverently
while the dead body of the venerable priest
was carried bv. The tuneful, solemn bells,
the chanting of the children and the sub
dued and mournful singing of the choir
swelled out into the quiet morning like a
billow of melodv that carried into
space a tender affection for the de
voted priest and the great physician.
In adance of the procession were
the altar boys in their robes of white, scat
tering incense and bearing the crucifix. Im
mediately following Father Meer came the
CJket with the dead body inclosed. The
pallbearers were Michael Creuner, C Pap
sert, H. Krancer, Andrew Weiblinger, Jr.,
Emil Andrews and Adolph Hepp. All are
tlLstees of the church.
The caket had reached the church before j
xne line ot tne procession had been com
pletely formed at the house. While the
officiating priest in advance of the casket
marched down the center aisle of the church
the choir sang. A fervent prayer followed
and the services of the day were concluded.
U lthont Tomp or Lavish Display.
The church was not decorated An em
blem of deep mourning was stretched grace
fully over the altar. An occasional bou
quet of flowers had been placed about the
casket and there seemed to be a
special effort to keep down anything
like pomp or display. The casket was
placed in an elevated position so that all
could see the face and features of their be
loved dead. The ltd was removed. In his
hands crossed upon his chest the dead priest
held his silver and gold chalice, the in
signa of his exalted office, and he looked as
though ready to perform some sacred serv
ice. His features looked calm and peace
ful, and many of those who stood before
him bowed their heads as if to receive again
his tender blessing.
When the doors were thrown open and
the vast gathering was admitted to the
church there was no confusion or distatetnl
haste. A policeman in full uniform stood
at the main entrance, and with the mere
motion of his arm directed the crowd. The
people, a vast majority of whom wers
women, passed down the side aisle to the
right, passed slowly by the body at the
altar, and, then passed out at the aisle to the
left. The first to be admitted found seats
in the church, and they seemed to remain
there all day watching with eager
interest the constant stream of
humanity that twept through the
church lrom the time it was opened in the
morning until after the solemn services last
night. The services last night were con
ducted in the church, but only a small part
of the vast crowd could gain admission to
the place, and while the services were going
on in the inside thousands of people on the
outside knelt in prayer and as best they
could took part in the sacred work.
The Funeral to Take I'lace To-Day.
Father Mollinger's funeral will take
place this morning. His remains will be
buried in Holy Name Cemetery, where a
grave has been prepared so that the body
can be removed if other provisions for the
burial have been made In the dead man's
will. It is expected that an immense crowd
will attend the funeral. Rev. Father Meyer
will have charce of the arrangements.
The will ot the late Father Mollingcr has
rvot yet been found. There eems to be no
doubt among his associates and friends that
he left a will but none ot them have the re
motest idea of whereto look tor the doc
ument since they failed to find it in the
dead man's safe.
liev. Father Meyer said yesterday that
he believed the will, which he fai satisfied
had been made, was either in New York or
Philadelphia. "It may never be lound,"
Rev. Meyer said.
"What will be the result in case the will
is not found?" was asked the officiating
priest
"The result will be that the work will go
on here as it has always gone on. I will
remain here until I am removed. The
home and chapel belonged to Father Mol
lingerandof course the Church cannot touch
them unless his will is found and in that
will such provisions have been made. I
Have the kev to the chapel and (he
home. The relatives of the dead priest
in Holland have been notified of his death,
and, unless a will is found, they alone can
dispose of his estate. The work in the
chapel will be continued just as it wenton
while Father Molliuger lived."
Flocking Into the New Chapel.
During the afternoon Father Meyer
opened the chapel for a time. In a sh'ort
time after it had been opened it was
crowded to overflowing The visitors were
not allowed to remain long in the place, as
they were hurried through . by Father
Meyer.
It was evident yesterday that the dead
priest's collection of relics will continue to
be an attractive feature on the Mount, and
next to the regret for the death of their
priest and phsiciaahe concern of the peo
ple turns to the disposition of the chapel
and its sacred and 'valuable contents. The
fact that the Bishop has refused to dedi
cate the chapel, it is said, will likely pre
vent its being given to the church, and
those who have been healed by the dead
Ehysician and those who hoped to have
een healed before his death are
hopeful that the chapel will continue in the
possession of whoever may be cho'sen to
succeed the lamented Mollinger.
No information has as yet been given out
as to what priest will be named to succeed
the dead priest.

DEPEW LEARNING HOW.
The After-Dlnner Orator Qaallfylnc Hlm
elf to Act as a Diplomat Should Tie
Says Talleyrand's Advice, to Lie, Is the
Word to Follow.
New Yokk, June 17. SptcidLl Chaun
cey Depew was besieged by reporters in the
office of the Grand Central station, to-day.
They came in shoals political reporters,
railroad reporters, general reporters, and
special reporters, all loaded with inquiries
about the great question as to what Mr.
Depew was going to do about the reported
proffer bv President Harrison of the port
iolio of the Secretary of State.
Mr. Depew laughed heartily as the ques
tion was repeated. About 3 P. M. he
leaned back in his chair and said to a Dis
patch reporter: "I havet beep asked the
question to-day in every imaginable shape
whether Mr. Eikins came with an offer of
the portfolio, whether he discussed the sub
ject seriously, whether L discussed it with
Mr. Whitelaw Reid at his house last night,
whether I had accepted the offer, whether I
had declined the offer, whether, if I de
clined it when made by Mr. Eikins, I
would accept if the offer were made by the
President personally and verbally, whether
I should like to be Secretary of State any
how, and whether I had moral courage to
refuse so high an honor.
"When yon hear questions asked in a
thousand different ways, I confess it
becomes embarrassing to try to answer.
After six hours of bewilderment 1. have at
last thought out an answer that is the best
I can do with such a conundrum."
Mr. Depew took a long breath, and then
gave this answer to The DisrATCH re
porter: "The Secretaryship of State is an
office that calls upon its occupant to con
sider public questions concerned with
diplomacy. The Secretary should be a
diplomat, end I have come to the conclu
sion that Talleyrand's famous advice is the
advice to follow: 'It is the privilege, nay,
the duty, of every true diplomat,' says
Talleyrand, 'to lie when he strikes embar
rassing questions.' "
USED FOE PAYING EXPENSES.
Murphy Declares Tin re Was No Frand In
Taking County Fees.
Chief Murphy, of Allegheny, is iiot losing
any flesh over the true bill found against
him, Assistant Superintendent of Police
Glenn, Detectives Kornman and McClure
and Ordinance Officer Frauk Donaldson.
The ordinance on which the suit was
brought was passed in 1S68 .and fixed the
pay ot detectives at ? 2 75 and no fees. This
was repealed by ordinance in 1891, and they
were allowed the county fees.
Chief Murphy yesterday said: "lhe
money we took was to pay our expenses,
which were not otherwise provided for.
We can prove the fees were used for that
purpose and not with any intention to de
fraud, so we have not the slightest fear of
adverse results."

BASIS OF SCHOOL APPROPRIATIONS
The County Commissioners yesterday
completed and forwarded to the State De
partment at Harrisburg several tabulated
statements of more than ordinary interest.
Perhaps the most startling report is the one
showing that Allegheny could, if the neces
sity arose, raise an army of nearly 100.000
able-bodied men. This report, which i
forwarded to the Adjutant General, gives
the number of persons in Allegheny county
liable to military duty in the several wards

ships. The total number ,is 94,202, divided as
follows: Pittsburg, 44239; Allegheny, 18,
027; McKeesport, 3,464; boroughs, 11,534;
townships, 16,935. The greatest number in
any ward in Pittsburg is 3,655 in the Four
teenth and the smallest is 299 in the Thirty
third. The greatest number in one ward in
Allegheny is 3,173 in the Second and the
smallest is 465 in the Ninth.
Taxes Collected by the County.
At the same time a statement was for
warded to the Secretary of Internal Affairs
showing the entire amount of taxes col
lected for the maintenance of State, county,
city, ward, borough and" township govern
ments from June, 1, 1891, to May 31, 1892.
It shows that the city of Pittsburg appro

also appropriates $472,078 50 for the main
tenance of streets and bridges. The county,
in addition to the amount given by Pitts
burg, appropriates 565.000 for bridges. The
total sum collected for the construction
and repair of streets, roads and bridges ir
respective of what Pittsburg appropriates
is $1,151,853 87. Ot the amount Allegheny
is assessed 5642,221 80, the boroughs 5309,
384 90, and townships 5200,247 17.
The total amount of taxes collected for
the support of the poor, for street, road

retail liquor licenses is 5354,692 33. Pitts
burg supplied 5224,209 35, Allegheny $74,
600, boroughs $26,348 50, -townships $7,043
83. Of this tax the highest taxed ward is
the Third ward of Pittsburg which is as
sessed at $20,700. The First ward follows
closely having $18,300. The lowest taxed
ward is the Thirty-fifth as far as revenne
from license is given. It paid only 5500. .
In the same connection the Fourth ward
of Allegheny paid $16,500. For the sup
port of the poor the taxes collected from
Allegheny were $51,956 76, from the bor
oughs $15,186 91, from the townships $26,:

The Basis for the State Appropriation.
A report showing the number of taxable
residents in each school district in Alle
gheny county, was forwarded to the Super
intendent of Publio Instruction. Each dis
trict will draw an appropriation from the
State under the new act of about $3 25 on
each taxable resident. At this rate the ap
propriation for school purposes that will
come to Pittsburg on 67.894 taxable resi
dents will be $220,555 50. Allegheny on
28,910 taxables will receive 593,957 50. The
boroughs and townships, including McKees
port, will get $183,759 25. The total num
ber of taxables in the county is 153,653,
upon which the county will get $499,272 25.

THE 0ISTEB BEDS AEE ALL IN" DANGER
rKFECIAT TlUOWlir TO THI DISPATCH.
Kew Oeleass, June 17. The water
from the Belmont, Prospect and Bonnet
Carre crevasses is spreading out in the shape
of a canal, covering a great area of country
and thereby doing more damage, but at the
same time decreasing the chances of its in
terfering with the Illinois Central Bailroad.
There wonld be little hope for that road if
the water ran in. a steady volume from the
river to Lake Ponchartrain, but spreading
as it does, it decreases its height and force.
At the same time the danger 4olha
Illinois Central Bailroad is very great, and
it has a large force of men at work, saving
its bed, opening culverts and constructing
trestle work so as prevent the water from
overflowing the track.
The water from these crevasses is making
itself felt in a new direction. It is rapidly
converting Lake Ponchartrain and Missis
sippi Sound into salt water bodies, bavin i
already destroyed the fishing in them ana
threatening the destruction of the large
area of oyster beds they contain. The
river water is now steering itself 80 miles
away from the crevasses.
The controversy between New Orleans
and the Parish of Jefferson is growing more
bitter. The Jeffersouians had the City En
gineer of New Orleans arretted to-day for
contempt of court, and threaten to cut the
levee if it continued. The levee protects
New Orleans from overflow from the cre
vasse water alone, but at the same time it
will have a bad effect on the people of Jef
ferson, damming up the water In that Par
ish and causing the land to overflow, that
wonld otherwise flow off.
The levee mentioned is situated partly in
Jefferson, and New Orleans has been en
joined from touching it. The city, how
ever, has continued the work, notwith
standing the heavy rains, and has it nearly
completed, but to guard against the open
threats made to cut the levee a large police
force will be stationed there to protect it.
The crevasse water has not yet reached the
levee, but will be there in a few days, when
the issue will probably be brought to a settlement.
