The Cymrodorlan Society Attended. Young Till-tapper in Decker's Drug Store-Couldn't Reach Cemetery. The funeral of the late Mrs. Thomas 5. Lewis, of Decker's court, -took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Al though a fierce blizzard was raging at the time a great many friends of the well known singer were In attendance. The services were conducted by Rev. R. J. Evans at the home, after which the remains were removed to the Taber nacle Congregational church, where Mr. Evans held further services. As It had been Mrs. Lewis' dying request, a large number of the members of the old Cymrodorion Choral society at tended, and several selections were ren dered. The remains were then conveyed to the Washburn Street cemetery by Un dertakers Neville & Tague, where In terment was made. At the gate of the cemetery the snow was drifted up ii. piles manv feet high, making it Impos sible for the carriages to pass through. This difficulty was overcome by the pall-bearers, who carried the remains from the gate to the grave. The bearers wwe: Samuel Rogers, Richard Thomas, W iam B. Jones, David Davis, John Ej ns and Evan Evans. Yonng Thief at Work. While Harry Decker, the clerk at Decker's drug store on North Main ave- nue, was cleaning the snow from the sidewalk yesterday morning two young lads, Robert Dawes, of Sumner ave nue, and William Burgeroff, of Lincoln avenue, entered the store and young Dawes went to the money drawer and after making a careful survey of his surroundings, took change amounting to about J2. At this moment Mr. Decker happened to glance in the store and caught sight of the young thief. He promptly captured him. Dawes was taken to the police station and turned over to Officer Gurrell. After his mother had been sent for he was released. The lad Is only 9 years of age. Monahan Was Not Buried. Considering the fact that a fierc. ollz zard raged yesterday morning a good ly number attended a solemn high mass of requiem which was celebrated In St. Patrick's church at 9 o'clock. Rev. Father Dunne conducted the ser vices over the remains of the late Thomas Monahan, of Eynon street. The floral offerings were very pretty. Un dertaker Wymbs atempted to convey the remains to the Hyde Park Catholic cemetery, but when he reached the lane on North Main avenue which leads to the cemetery he found it impossible. The snow drifts were from ten to twelve feet high. As there was no possible means of reaching the cemetery the cortege returned. The casket contain ing the deceased waa placed In Mr. Wymbs morgue and will probably be Interred today. He Was Badly Frozen. A man named Williams, who said he resldej on North Mam avenue, was ar resUi yesterday afternoon in front of Cooper's market on North Main ave nue while in a beastly state of Intoxica tion. Officer Gurrell and Constable Timothy Jones removed him to the West Side station house. When near the stove, lWlllams suffered great pain, and it was found that he had been bad ly bitten with the frost, aUhough ton drunk to realize it. The officers rubbed his hands and warmed him up, after which he was comfortably placed in his cell to await a hearing. Brief Notes of Xntoreat.

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS Station Policeman Spcllman Says We Are Victims of Circumstances. SOME PAGES ritOM HIS LIFE lie Has Had an Eventful and Stirring Career Congressman Straus, of Now York, on Interstate Commerce. Interesting News Notes. "We are aW victims of circumstances, and few young men of 17 can toll what occupation or station of life they will drift Into before they reach middle age," said P. F. Spellman, the special otllcer at the Delaware and Hudson station yesterday as he kept one eye on a frozen-looking resident of Wlnton, who had a grip oh one of the station radiators which indicated that he would like to carry it away with him to impart heat to his benumbed anato my. "Now take my case for instance," remarked the officer, returning to his subject, having satisfied himself that the radiator was securely fastened, "police duty Is something I never was In love with, but here I am in it all the same. "In my younger days I attended the public Bchools of the Seventh ward of this city, and afterward picked slate at the Diamond breaker and did al most ever other kind of work to be had about n coal mine. In 1864 I ran away from home and joined the construc tion corps of the United States army, for I had a bad attack of the "war fever" that was then sweeping over the country. I was with Sherman from that time until the close of the war, and accompanied his army on the fam ous march to the sa. Those were stir ring times. I waH In Atlanta. Ga., when Sherman gave his orders to va cate and burn that city, and saw the big roundhouse It contained blown to atoms. A Poor Christmas Dinner. "At Murfreesborough, Tenn., we were hemmed in at the time General Thomas and General Hood were having their engagements. For three days we had scarcely anything to eat, as our com munication with supplies was cut off by the rebel army. Our Christmas din ner that year I remember well. It con slsted of mush and molasses which wo devoured with relish, I can assure you. "I was at Fort Fisher in '65, soon after the rebels surrendered to the United States troops. We landed on the steamship Baltic at Moorehead city, N. C, from which we took a train to Newburn and repaired the railroads from Gouldsboro to Raleigh. While Bta- tioned In this city our company and a corps of bridge builders were Bent on the Southern railroad to build a bridge over a creek. Here I served as cook. I saw Generals Johnson, Bureauguard, Early Longstreet, and others of tho rebel army. They came to Raleigh on an en glne built on tho style of the "Comet." "I remember a war hospital between Newburn and Gouldsboro, where legs and arms were plied up In a stack four feet high. When I Baw the doctors amputating a young soldier's arm my chicken heart gave way. My comrades made great fun of me after I had re covered. After this I had a glimpse of Andersonvllle and Llbby prisons. Executed I'ndcr Martial Law. "In re-building the roads at Goulds boro I saw a cavalry soldier shot under martial laws for the murder of a wo- man ne naa also robbed. You can t realize how awful the ceremony was; the drum corps playing the dead march, the soldier sitting on his coffin. Twelve soldiers were picked out, six had loaded rifles and six had blank charges. The captain gave the command and the sol dier was dead. "I started to work for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Express company In August, 1870, the day that John Handley's bank was robbed. was talking to Father Dunn on Lacka wanna avenue and saw the riots when the Miner's union paraded the avenue, and was with Father Dunn when he ad ministered the rites of the church to one of the dying men. I casted my maiden vote for M. W. Lof.tus for mayor of this city in 1872 and in 1876 shook hands with Horace Greeley. I have been county and city assessor and served one term in the select council. "Now, after all my travels, I am here and one of my busiest features is keep Ing the waiting room clear of the young ladles who will insist on making these rooms their centers of flirtation. God bless them, I hate to ask them to move on, but 'orders Is orders,' and the girls have to go. Twenty years ago I would not have believed that I would occupy a position of this kind today. But that's the way of the world, you know," con eluded Mr. Spellman in a philosophical tone. Interstate Commerce. Representa. Straus, of New York city, in a speech In ingress the other day, concerning a bill governing certain phases of Interstate commerce, took the sensible ground that since railway in vestments constitute the most import ant single form of Investment In the country, and consequently the most conspicuous evidence of general flnnn clnl conditions, they cannot possibly rest under a cloud without Impairing the real recuperative force of other en terprlses. The restoration of confidence In our railroad securities and railroad management Is of Importance second only to the question of sound currency, Little hope can be entertained of check ing the present unfortunate condition of affairs so long as railway robbers go WORD COLUMN.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway company caused the arrest, at Chicago, of Mrs. Mary Freeman and her two daughters, Fannie and Jennie, charging them with an attempt to ob. tain money under false pretenses. The Frecmans claimed that the daughtci Fannie had received injuries on one of tho company's trains, rendering her a cripple for life, and offered to settle for $2,000. Detectives employed by the company investigated and found, as they allege, that the girl was shamming. They are charged with having worked several eastern roads through a slmllur trick. The financial troubles in the construc tion of the Pennsylvania Midland rail road from Cessna, Bedford county, to Brooks Mills, Blair county, have been overcome, and the work will be pushed to completion as soon as the weather will permit. The main line will be opened for traffic by May next and the branches by the following September.

A charitable and generous work was performed by the members of the Rail road Young Men's Christian associa tion yesterday afternoon In serving out hot coffee to the yard men of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western. The kindness of the members was highly ap preciated. The Humane society at Wllkes-Barre has brought suit against the Delaware and Hudson Railroad company, for cruelty to animals. It is alleged that the company recently placed as many as thirty-eight head of cattle In a sin gle car, and that while enroute from Buffalo to Wilkes-Barre, several of the cattle died from suffocation. Frank E. Smith, who recently suc ceeded I. I. Demurest as Wllkes-Barre passenger agent of the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern railroad, has been con nected with railroad interests for twenty-three years. At one time he was in Auditor Webb's office of the Lehigh Valley: Inter he was with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and previous to going with tho Wilkes-Barre and Eastern he was general freight and passenger agent of the Lehigh and Hudson. He is considered an authori ty on all questions relating to the freight and passenger business. " NOTED ABOUT TOWN. A story of absent mindedness Is told at the expense of ex-County Treasurer I). W. Powell, who has just been ap pointed to a snug berth at Harrisburg. One night this week Mr. Powell re ceived a message calling him to the state capital. He left his home on Lin den street and started for the Dela ware and Hudson station, but so wrapped was he In thought that he passed by the handsome new station of that company' and wended his way to the dingy old building at the foot of Bridge street, that for years did ser vice as the Scranton Btatlon of the Delaware and Hudson company. Not until he had vainly endeavored to open the locked doors did it dawn upon the ex-county treasurer that he had gone to the wrong place. He re traced his footsteps as rapidly as possi ble, and reached the new station Just In time to get aboard the train as It was leaving, The amount of energy and conscien tious hard work on the part of Miss LUa Stewart, of Kingston, N.

Her extreme good taste and equitable disposition under the trying circumstances and fatigue entailed !n her work have won for her tho friend ship and esteem of the dancers and oth ers with whom she has been brought In contact.

Speaking of the KIrmess It was grand, pretty and almost anything pleasing which one might choose to apply to It. It merited attention not only because local dancers participated, but because the carnival was entertaining and from a purely entertainment standpoint was well worth the price of admission.

Quimby, of the Broadway Church, Bos ton, Says It Is His Duty to Recommend Paine's Celery Compound---It Makes People Well. REV. I. P. Clergymen today need big hearts and sound nerves to accomplish all the good they intend. It Isn't merely the fact of preaching once a week that makes the life of the minister of today so wearing on nerves and brain. Their every-day labor is a round of exacting duties that tax heavi ly their Jiervous strength. The modern minlstermust keep up his enthusiasm, hla hopefulness and Ills genuine love of his work. He must feel strongly, think deeply and have confi dence in his labor and In himself. But all this taxes heart and brain to their uttermost. It calls for a tre mendous outlay of nervous energy seven clays in the week and 3G3 every year. Many clergymen break down ut terly under the nervous strain. Rev. I. P. Quimby, the well-known Boston preacher, lias been saved from nervous prostration. In a publication of his Sunday School he hns recently published the following open letter: Boston, Nov. 20, 1S94. Never in my life havo 1 commended any proprietary medicine, but 1 would be derelict In duty If I failed to let the public know what a great boon to humanity I believe Paine's celery compound to be. With a family of seven, 1 have not paid a dollar for a doctor in ten years, nnd 1 owe It to the fact that 1 always keep Paine's celery compound on hand, and when any of us nro "out of sorts," administer it.

Our sons, who are young pharmacists, tell us they sell more of Paine's celery compound than tiny two proprietary medicines, not excepting the Karsaparillas, Yours for Paine's celery eomiounU. Rev. I. P. Quimby, Pastor of Broadway Church, Boston, Muifl. When the nervous strength has be. come from any cause Impoverished, Paine's celery compound succeeds ai nothing else has ever done. From a state of depression, exhaus tion and lifelessness the nerves grow strong, active, and perfectly nourished by means of Paine's celery compound, the great modern nerve and blood rem edy that makes people well.

HIS GRACE DE GRAM.UOXT. Produced by Otis Skiuncr and Company at the Academy of Music. "His Grace de Grammont," a play of the romantic school from the pen of Clyde Fiteh, author of "Beuu Brum mell," wns presented at the Academy of Music last night with Otis Skinner in the 'leading role. The theme that Mr. Fitch discusses In "His Grace de Grammont" admits of beautiful and striking costumes and elaborate stage settings, which have been taken advantage of to the fullest. The costumcr and scenic artist have done their work admirably. Mr. Fitch has painted Count de Gram mont in a much more favorable light than does the historian. The latter makes him a gallant, a rone, a profli gate, whose amours were the scandal of the courts of England and France, but withal a person of unexceptional manners. The playwright takes up the thread of the count's career after his banishment from the court of Louis XIV., of France, for an unseemly pcan dal at the time when he attaches him self to the court of Charles II., of Eng land, where ho ut once becomes a great favorite, especially with tha la dles. He Is fitted by Mr. Fitch w ith a nobis nuture, tho same unexceptionable man ners he In reality possessed, and IS made capable of loving and winning the love of the pure-minded Mistress Hamilton, a young woman of great sim plicity and loftiness of character, who has nothing In common with the gay butterflies ot fashion who mnde tho court of Chanles II. notable. This lova affair embroils both the count and tha lady in serious trouble, which furnishes the real material for the play. Mr. Skinner Is a careful, polished actor, who speaks his lines with preci sion and intelligence. He understands the niceties of stagecraft and is equally effective and artistic In the passages where he employs the natural tone o voice as when he arises to tho dramatlo pitch. The scene nt the end ot the third act was very well done and Mr, Skinner was given a hearty curtain call. Maud Durbln was winsome and charming as Mistress Hamilton, but speaks her lines in a somewhat emo tional manner. Tho remulnder of tha cast do not approach the standard ot Mr. Skinner and Miss Durbln. On ao caunt of the disagreeable weather the. audience waa small. Charged with Theft. A rolander named Ymnalyskl was ar rested on Thursday nlxht upon a charge of stealing 10 from a follow boarder. He was given a hearing yesterday, when ar rangements were made for the rettoration of the money and tha case waa amicably settled. 1)1 KD. JORDAN.
