FUNERALS OF BRAVE COAL REGION BOYS WHO FELL IN BATTLE. Many Towns Pay Tribute to the Remains of Victims of the Late War With Spain. They Were in the Hanks of Hough Riders, Regulars aud Volunteers. In hundreds of towns throughout, the United Status there were funerals last week which brought to the minds of many the real meaning of war as they followed a friend or a relative to the grave. Pennsylvania had many of these funerals, for tho Pennsylvania boys were as patriotic when the call to arms came as were those in any other section of our country, and among the funerals iu this state the coal fields furnished its full quota. The government did ail that could be expected of it in marking the graves of the heroes who fell iu Cuba and Porto Rican battles, and when peace came immediate preparations were made for the removal of the bodies to the United Statcs. The first- consignment of these arrived at New York last week on the transport Crook from Cuba and Porto Rico. There were 083 bodies on board, and all except 199 were claimed by rela tives or friends. The unclaimed were interred in the national cemetery near Washington with military honors on a scale becoming the sacrifice they had made. JAMES M. BOYLE. Among the coal region funerals one of the largest was that of James M. Boyle at Lunsford. Bo\ le was, so far as is known, the only Pennsylvania mem ber of tho famous Roosevelt Rough Riders who fell in battle. Ho was a private in "liuckey" O'Nell's squad, Company A, of the First Volunteer cavalry. He was shot through the neck and body on July 1 while charging up San Juan hill, near Santiago, and died the following day. He was a son of j James (Butcher) Boyle, a man known ; intimately throughout Carbon and lower Luzerne counties. The remains arrived at Uansford Sat urday night and the funeral took place next day. It was attended by Company B, Eighth regiment; Company L, Ninth regiment; Summit Hill, Nesquehoniug and Tamaqua bauds and drum corps, and a number of secret societies. Services were conducted at the Sum mit Hill Catholic church, by Rev. James Norton, of Coal Dale, and Rev. William Uaughran, of Summit Hill. After the body had been lowered into the grave, a detail from Companies L and B lired a parting salute over the grave, and "taps" was sounded by the bugler. JULIUS 11. WEIL. The largest military funeral ever held in Plymouth took place there Sunday ; fternoon, when Julius B. Wei), of Com pany G, Thirteenth United States in fantry, was burled with full military honors.

S. V.; Com pany G, Seventh regiment, N. (J. P.; Knights of Pythias, Irish and German societies, Knights of Golden Eagle and Masonic Orders were in attendance. Tho procession was escorted by tho Ply mouth and Citizens' bands and the Ninth Regiment drum corps. Over U, 100 men were in lino. Weil was the only son of a widowed mother. He was aged 27 years. His regiment was near the Rough Riders on July 1 in the charge at El Caney, Cuba. It is of Well whom Governor Roosevelt writes as follows in the April number of Scribner y 8 magazine: 4, My orderly was taken sick. In his place I summoned a troope** whose name I did not know. Shortly afterward, while sitting beside the bank, I directed him to go back aud ask whatever general he came across if I could not advance, as my men were being much cut up. He stood up to salute and then pitched forward across iny knees, a bullet having gone through his throat, cutting the carotid." JOHN M'BKIDE. In Wilkesbajre the city turned out en masse the same day to pay tribute to one of its sons, John Mcßride, of Company B. Seventeenth United States infantry, whose life went out on July 1 while his regiment was storming Spanish trenches near El Caney. He was killed instantly, shot through tho body and log. The remains were escorted to the grave, after services in St. Mary's Catholic church, by the Ninth Penn'a Volunteers, Seventh regiment, N. (r*P., G. A. R., P. O. S. of A., Sons of Veterans, A. O.
