THE FUNERAL SERVICES
Over the Remains of General
Sherman.
The funeral services over the mortal
remains of General Sherman were held at
the house Thursday morning. About 150
persons were present at these ceremonies,
the greater number being relatives, but
there were many clo-o friends as well,
among them being Mrs. Grant and Sena¬
tor Cameron, and Secretary Blaine and
wife and daughter. The r ading of the
service and singing together did not oc¬
cupy more than fifteen minutes. There
were largo crowds of peop e all along the
street and on house tops, but they main¬
tained tho utmost, order, and by their
silent, composed demeanor, mainifested
their respect for the dead general. At 1
o’clock, carriages containing prominent civil,
officers, both military and
began to arrive at the house. By
this time the streets for blocks around
were filled with Companies of soldiers.
THE MARCH TO TOE DErOT.
Promptly at 2 o’clock the body was
borne from the house on the shoulder of
six lieutenant? in the army, and placed
upon the caisson. The procession transferred was
formed and the remains were
to Jersey t-ity, where they were placed
in a special car, and the family and Louis those
who were permitted to go The to St. train left
occupied another cor. 6.30 o’clock.
Jersey City at it greeted
Everywhere along the trip was scarcely
with demonstrations of sorrow,
a village station but had its Grand Army
post drawn up to salute, and at many
places hundreds of school children were
also present. Salutes were tired, bells
tolled, bands played dirges and school
children sang. At some of the larger
towns, such as Newark and DenisoD,
where stops were made, veterans were
permitted to enter the funeral car, but the
coffin was not opened. A wait of forty
five minutes was given the train at Co¬
lumbus, during which a crowd of about
20,000 people gathered iu the vicinity,
a majority of whom only secured a glance
of the train at a distance, owing to the
blockade.
TIIE FUNERAL TRAIN IN ST. LOUIS.
It was within a few minutes of 8:30
o’clock when the funeral train arrived in
St. Louis. Even at this early hour there
was an immense crowd omside of the
depot. Meanwhile seventeen gun salutes
were fired by the battery at ten-second
intervals. When the train had come to
a standstill, it was boarded by a deputa¬
tion of old comrades of Ransom post,
Grand Army of the Republic. A few
minutes before 11 o’clock a caisson—one
that had been specially drawn brought from in
Fort Leavenworth - was up
front of the main entrance to the depot,
and amid the roar of artillery the casket
was borpes^om the train by eight mem¬
bers znsotn post and placed on the
carriage. The procession was made up
principally of the military, of which
there were many different companies of
calvary and infantry. The march to the
cemetery from the depot was through
some of the principal streets of the city
to Calvary cemetery, fully five and a half
miles. It was nearly 2 o’clock when the
head of the procession reached Calvary.
The larger part of the military remained
outside of the cemetery. The services
at the grave were of a military character,
the only exception being the reading of a
few passages of scripture and the making
of a prayer by Rev. Thomas Ewing Sher¬
man, son of the deceased general.
General Sherman’s desire that his
obsequies should be of a military charac¬
ter, was obeyed to the" mest extreme par¬
ticular. But at the same time, it was
found impossible to draw a line that
would prohibit the great mass of people
of the city in which he had spent so many
years of his life, and who at one time
regarded him as its particular own, from his
paying a last tribute of respect to
memory. So, two civic divisions were
added to the procession and formed not
tho least impressive feature f tiie event.

But the Waters Leave Desola¬

A dispatch of Monday from Parkers¬
burg, W. Va., says: The worst of the

two feet and is fast receding from the
business and factory sections of the city.
Riverside is still inundatad, and but few

crippled, and in some cases it will take
several weeks’ work to repair received the damages. five
No mails have been for
days. The postoffice building was
flooded halfway up to (he 1 tter boxes
and newspaper offices had four feet of
water in them. In the Ohio valley not
hssthan 15.000 men have been thrown
out of employment, which will entail
great suffering. The lo-ses in the inun¬
dated distiict is estimated at $4,000,000.
Only t«o cases of drowning are reported
so far. News from Pocahontas county
says that many .people in the upper pare
of that county are in n starving condition.

TERRIFIC STORMS
Sweeping From the Allegha
nies to the Rockies.
Reports of Friday show that a terrific
snow, sleet and rain storm is raging from
the Alleghany mountains as far west as
Kansas. In Illinois and Missouri the
storm is especially severe. In portions of
Illinois and Iowa fruit trees have blown
down under the weight of the ice, and
street cars were forced to susp nd traffic.
Iu Wisconsin the storm was general and
caused considerable delay to trains. In
South Dakota and in many points in
western and southern Minnesota the
heaviest storm of the winter is raging.
It is snowiug furiously and the wind has
drifted light snow to such an extent that
the railroads are having serious delay in
moving trains. Telegraphic communica¬
tion in several states is almost at a stand¬
still. _;
CRASHED THROUGH THE CAR.
A Falling Boulder Wrecks a
Passing Train.
A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: An
immense rock, weighing at least 200
pounds, fell from Duquese Heights, Mon¬
day morning, and crashed into a passen¬
ger coach on the Washington Handle and Penn¬
sylvania express on the Pan road.
Miss Clara Fleming, aged 19 years, aged was
killed: Miss Minnie Baldwin, 18,.
and J. F. Donahoo, aged 20, and another
young man whose name was not ascer¬
tained, were b-idly hurt. The heavy rain
loosened the rock, which fell as the train
was passing. It struck thescoach in the
middle, wrecking it. if
Vanderbilt’s Millions.
Mr. Vanderbilt was worth $200,000,000.
If this sum were in standard silver dol¬
lars it would present such features as this:
Put lengthwise, dollar after dollar, it
would stretch a distance of 4,672 miles,
making a silver streak fiom Ncw.Yoik
across tho ocean to Liverpool.
Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would
reach a height of 855 miles.
Laid flat on the gTound, the dollars
would cover a space of nearly sixty acres.
The weight of this mass of silver
would be 7160 tons.
To transpoit it would require 358 cars,
carrying twenty tons each (this is tho
and capacity of the strongest freight cars),
making a train just about two and
one-half miles long.
In one dollar bills this $200,000,000
fortune would assume such shapes as
this;
The bills rtretched lengthwise would
extend 23,674 miles, or nearly the cir¬
cumference of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another, close as leaves
in a new book, they would reach a height
of twielve miles.
Spread out on the ground they cover
740 acres, or nearly the whole surface of
Central Park, in New York City, includ¬
ing ponds and reservoirs.

and that you won’t claim the

So, whoever is honest in

his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some¬
