BURYING THE HEROES.
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

and body on July 1 while charging up

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.

in Plymouth took place there Sunday
; fternoon, when Julius B. Wei), of Com

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
