Preliminary Report of the Investigat- ing Committee—The Question of Re- sponsibility. — At the meeting this morning of the special committee appointed to investigate the defi- ciency in the accounts of C. E. Silcott, cashier of the office of the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives, the draft of a pre- liminary report to the House was presented and agreed to after some slight modifications. The committee says that the scope of the in- quiry committed to itis much narrower than 2d EDITION. THEY LAID HIM 70 REST. Such Another Dramatic Soene the World Never Beheld. FUNERAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. | confined to an examination of the funds and the method of keeping accounts in the office. The amount of the deficit is given, as has al- ready been stated, at about $71,800. The com- mittee finds that the funds of the office have been used by Silcott for the purposes of discount, but to what extent cannot be stated. Forgeries of the names of members have been committed and these are set forth in detail so far as known. The report exonerates Silcott’s associates in the office—the teller and book keeper—from bari connection with his crime. The report will probably be submitted to the House to- morrow. New Onreans, La., Deo. 11.—The day, not- withstanding the threatening and oppressive character of the weather during the past sev- eral days, could not have been more propitious or beautiful. The clouds of last night and the great banks of heavy fog that prevailed during the early part of this morning, had wholly disappeared by 7 o'clock, as the sun burst forth and a beautiful summer day dawned for the obsequies of the southern chieftain, The city is crowded with thousands of people, representing members of the prominence, the wealth and the chivalry of the southern states, Six or seven governors are here attended by their staffs, and bringing with them great delegations of people. The mili- tary parade will be a marked one. A dozen companies from Georgia, Texas, Missis- sippi and Alabama are here and the Louisiana state national guards and volunteer's militia of New Orleans will participate. The crush on the streets promises to equal anything that has ever been witnessed here on the occasion of the carnival, In ———— A BLOCK OF FIVE. The First Exception to the Rule for Not More Than Four Saloons on a Block. The first instance where the Commissioners have issued licenses to more than four saloons in a square occurred today, when a license was granted to J, A. Humphrey, whose place of business is 415 18th street, Whether or not this will establish a precedent regarding the yg bere rig s tak cst ae four-in-a-block rule is not known, as the condi- gathered, and Canal, Camp and St. Charle | #08 under which the license was granted sre rather peculiar, The attorney who represented the applicant made the point that the application of his client was made before the rule limiting the number of saloons in a square had been passed. After a final rejection the case was again takén up today by the board for reconsideration. Commissioners Hine and Raymohd were in favor of granting the license, but Commissioner Douglass was obdurate and would not consent, Finally the application was inted over Mr. Douglass’ vote with the fol- lowing explanation: “Tt being conceded that the only objection to granting alicense to Jas, A. Humphrey is that there are four restaurants in the square on one side of which hiv restaurant is located, and since it isan old established place in a busi- ness portion of the city we consider that a rejection of his application for a license would not be the exercise of a reasonable discretion given the Commissioners by the law to refuse @ license and we therefore order it to be granted. L. G. Hise. Cuas. W, Ravmonp, streets were crowded with people from all oves the country. The floral decorations were added to this morning. They came from every state and city in the south, and are superb in their design and beauty. The town is draped from one end to the other with most elaborate showings of black. Busi- nese fronts and residences that were barren of mourning emblems yesterday were covered this morning and every bit of bunting there is in the city flies on a staff at half mast, CROWDED STREETS. Atan early hour this morning the streets were thronged with soldiers and firemen in uni- formvarious civic organizations and representa- tives of every profession, avocation and gsso- ciation, all en route to their respective moet- ing stations, from whence a few hours they concentrated in Lafayette square, CLOSED FOREVER. As soon as the doors of the city hall were opened a stream of citizens began to pour into the death chamber to take s farewell view of the remains of the famous confederate leader. The crow of visitors was even greater than that of yesterday, there being hun- dreds of people from abroad whose visit to this city had been delayed until today. It was not until 11:30 o'clock that the lid of the casket closed down forever upon the features of the dead. The remains were then conveyed to the front portico of the city hall building where the simple but impres- sive rites of the Episcepat, church were performed, Lafayette square in front of the city hall, the banquettes and streets were densely packed with people, and the balconies and every available space from which the pi geant could be viewed were crowded in the ex- treme. The Butler-Strong Case. In the Equity Court this morning Judge Cox heard several motions in the case of But- ler against Strong, the most important being that forarule to show cause why defendant should not be prosecuted for contempt of court. Gen. Butler and Mr. Bennett appeared for the complainant and Hon, John Goode and Gol. Cook for the defendant. The day was oc- cupied with the argument, and the court re- served its decision till tomorrow morning. ——_— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

The ceremonies were conducted by Bishop Galleher. Dr. Markham read the lesson. Father Hubard said a prayer and Dr, Thomas R. Martin sang the psalm. ‘The choir of St. Paul’s Episcopal church then sang: “Though I Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death.” Bishop Galleher read the creed and delivered an address, which, though brief, was very effective. The ceremony was most impressive and the entire assembly stood with bowed heads while the services were being conducted, Mrs, Jefferson Davig and her daughter, Mrs, Hayes, and T. H. Fenner and family occupied car- riages in front of the hall during the cere- monies. The procession was the largest ever seen in the south, The services at the grave were conducted by Bishops Galleher and Thompson and were in accor with the ritual of the Episcopal church, ANOTHER PLAN, The Montana Senate Going to Arrest a Democrat to Get a Quorum, .

Trag'c End of the Lunatic Who Killed the Venerable Joseph C. G. Kennedy. ME STRANGLES BIMSELY TO DEATH AT sr. ELtza- BETH'S HOSPITAL—BE HAD A MURDEROUS MANIA—WHAT DR. GODDING SAID OF HIM The tragedy which startled this community on the evening of July 13, 1887, has had a sequel almost asstartling. John Daley, the murderer of the venerable Joseph O. G. Kennedy, com- mitted suicide at St. Elizabeth hospital for the insene Monday afternoon. Since Daley was has been commonly supposed, and that it is | admitted to the hospital, nearly two years ago, he bas been more closely watched than most of the other inmates on account of his murderous propensities. There was nothing about his conduct indicative of a suicidal propensity, and for that reason the at- tendants were better satisfied when he was in his room alone than when he was near others, whom it was feared he might attempt to kill at any moment. RIS ILLUSIONS. Since he has been in the hospital he has been haunted by the same idea that troubled him before he murdered Mr. Kennedy, which was that he was easy Be epee by an order of Catholics and was being pursued by them. He was consequently very apprehensive of danger and was in constant fear that some ed oelay Sie Gaal “i Tt | day for final action, is was 8 would take his life. He never appeared rational, but was always in fear. He talked very little and had to be closely watched most of the time, especially if any one was near him. Monday aiternoon he went to his room and was perfectly quiet, He had not been there long before one of the attendants, who looked in to eee if everything was right, wit- nessed A HORRIBLE s1GuT. The poor lunatic had taken his own life in a manner that must have caused him great phys- ical suffering. He hadtorn a strip from the cotton sheeting on his bed, which he had fast- ened about his neck. while the other end of the string was tied to the bed-post. His body lay on the bed with his head hanging to the side. His tongue was protruding from his mouth and his features general; indicated that he met with a horrible dea’ Not being fully satisfied that Daley was dead the string was cut und notice was sent to the physicians. When they reached the bed room they pro- nounced life extinct, Coroner Patterson was then notified and he inquired into the case. He gave a certificate of death as follows: “John ley, aged fifty- two years, widower; primary cause of death, chronic mania; secon cause, suicide (haug- i 1 certificate gave the information that the deceased had suffered from chronic mania for 21 years, 10 months and 26 days and that his last illness was but a few minutes. THE BURIAL The body was prepared for burial, and this afternoon the remains were carried to the hos- pital cemetery and quietly lowered into the last resting place of the man who caused so much sorrow to the family and friends of one of our prominent citizens, The English burial service was read. A HOPELESS CASE OF MANIA. Spenking of Daley Dr. Godding said to a Stax reporter that his ending was an unfor- tunate affair, but it was one of those things that could not be helped. It was something that could not have been prevented by the ordinary vigilance of the attend- ante, He regretted the affair very much, althouzh the case was & hopeless one and death was certainly the best thing that could have happened him. The doctor said that it was the end of a worthless career and his riddance, had he died a natural death, would have been a good thing for the community. As it is he has taken the law in his own hands, as he did on former occasions, and committed an act, as he supposed. to es- cape the persecutions of his enemies, His act, the doctor said, illustrates more distinctly that the verdict of the jury that tried him for mur- der was a just one. HOW MR. KENNEDY WAS KILLED. It was about 5 o'clock on the evening of July 13, 1887, that John Daley, the deceased, stabbed and killed Joseph C. G. Kennedy, an aged and esteemed citizen, at the corner of New York avenue and 15th street, as the latter left his real estate office on 15th street for the day and was about to take a l4th-street car for home, Daley made no effort pay py and was im- mediately arrested. He had led a dissolute life for many years, being often in jaii andthe poor house, and was incapacitated for manual labor by a partial paralysis from chiid- hood, le bad a number of years before loaned his father some money to yay from Mr. Kennedy a humble home at 1432 M street northwest, and after the death of his stepmother, in 1878, the property had been re- purchased by Mr. Kennedy seemingly without the knowledge of Jobn, whose father died a few ears later without ever py the loan. Mr. Kennedy afterwar told the property ata considerable advance and in brooding over these circumstances John's weak mind fancied he had a grievance that called tor vengeance. Concealing a case knife in his clothing he waited some time at the cor- ner of 15th street and New York avenue for Mr. Kennedy to appear, and plunging the weapon into his victim's body waited for him to die on the pavement. AFTFB DALEY'S ARREST for killing Mr. Kennedy Dr. W. W. Godding of St. Elizabeth’s and John B. Chapin of Phila- delphia were appointed to inquire into the risoner’s meptal condition. ‘They visited im on more than one — occasion and reported that they found that he ler insane on the day he committed the homi- cide. —_-_— THE HOG ISLAND DISPUTE. Dredging to be Suspended Till the Vir- ginia Assembly Acts. Governors Jackson of Maryland and Lee of Virginia met at the Arlington yesterday to dis- cuss the Hog island boundary dispute between their states, Gov. Jackson being accompanied by Attorney General Whyte. Attorney Gen- eral Ayer of Virginia arrived this morning, and he and Attorney General Whyte continued the discussion. They finally came to the conciusion that the Hog Island flats are in open waters, under the award of the arbitrators in 1877, or that the chances are 10 to 1 that they would be so decided in court, and they there- therefore agreed that it would be unwise in Virginia to contend for _posses- sion. a action by the Virginia eneral assembly upon the bill already introduced to repeal the lenses on the flats, the two lawyers will suz- gest the issue of a proclamation by each overnor to the dredgers, recommending to them, onthe part of the residents of both states, to abstain from dredging until action is taken by the assembly. This will include Mr, Lewis, the present lessee.
