Booth, who was known as the mother of the Salvation Army, took place today and was made the occasion of a grea demonstration by that organization. Tho weather was exceeding disagreeable, a murky fog enveloping the city, but despite this thou- sands of persons assembled in the streets to wiiness the funeral procession. The route from the Thames embankment, where the army mustered, to Abney Park Cemetery, where the remains were interred, lay through the densely populated district of Stoke New- ington. The entire route was lined with dense crowds of spectators, and the windows of the houses were thronged by the occupants and their friends, all anzious to witness the last demonstration of love and respect paid to their leader by the devoted members of the army. All the rail- ways entering London ran excursion trains and the throng in the city was augmented by immense numbers of Salvationists and their friends from the provinces. There was also a large attendance from-foreign countries. Thi members of the army, attired in their unifo and wearing a white bangs of mourning. were everywhere conspicuous in the crowded streets. The crowds on the streets surpassed oint of numbers those who gather to witi the show on lord mayor's day. The demon: jon was a convincing proof to the public thatthe Salvation Army wields powerful influence throughout the country. a IGNORED BY THE CLERGY. Unveiling a Monument in Honor of Les- sing at Berlin. Bentry, Oct. 14.—Prince Frederick Leopold today unveiled a monument in the Thiergarten to Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, the illustrious German author and literary reformer,who died in 1781.

The clergy, who do not approve of the life or writings of Lessing, refused to take any part in honcring the dead author. ——._—_ O’MAHONY’S CASE DROPPED. Action Taken by the Crown in the Tip- Pperary Trial. Dvstry, Oct. 14.—At the request of Mr. Ro- han, the prosecutor for the crown, the court at Tipperary, before which Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien and other defendants are being tried on charges of conspiracy, today dismissed the case against Mr. O'Mahony, whose illness pre- vents his attending court. The trial of the re- maining defendants wili now proceed, Mr. G. Healy argued that the evidence given against Mr. O'Mahony equally affected all the defendants, and that the charge against him having been dismissed the charge against all the defendants should be dismissed. The court took a note of Mr. Healy’s objec- tion and allowed the crown to proceed with the prosecution, SS WILL BE ON WATCH. Policy to Be Followed by Minority Stockholders of the Illinois Central. Haxtrorp, Conn., Oct. 14.—Ata meeting of the Hartford board of trade today Judge Nichols, president of the National Fire Insur- ance Company, who represented the minority stockholders at the Illinois Central railroad meeting, made his report. He showed that the majority of stock was owned abroad and the control held by President Fish,so that the minority was power- less ona vote. But he said the result of oppo- sition had been to secure two Chicago directors this year and to show the management that they were being closely watched. The voto secured a year ago by Messrs, Cooley & Morse of Hartford forbidding exten- sion without vote of stockholders had, by cur- rent report, prevented the large expenditures contemplated and that would have opened lines parallel to the Northwestern and St. Paul lini This year the minority intend to secure a vote forbidding issue of stock below par, so that for the present none is likely to be issued. He said the Illinois Central was a great property, and it ought to maintain itself from its earnings and pay good dividends, The talk of the minority applying for a receiver was pronounced foolish. ‘The Hartford board of trade passed a vote of thanks to Judge Nichols for his services. —— In Wall Street Today. New Yonx, Oct. 14.—The prospects of politi- cal complications growing out of the difficdlty between England and Portugal caused a de- cline in Loudon this morning in all sorts of se- curities, and Americans suffered with the rest, the cables reporting materially lower prices than those prevalent yesterday. Our market followed suit, and everything was lower at the opening, but the Londou favorites, especially Louisville and Nashville being down, St, Paul and Northern Pacific preferred each %, Atchi- son, Reading and Union Pacific each #{, and others smaller fractions, Notwithstanding this shrinkage in values over night, however, the market was remarkably quiet and only in the stocks mentioned was there any animation whatever, while the further concessions were in all cases slight, except in Louisville and Nashville, but at the lowest points Louisville was down two from last night's prices, St, Paul and Lackawanna each 1 and Atchison and Northern Pacitic preferred each %. The gen- eral list was quite neglected, and in some por- tions considerable strength was shown on very light trading. At11 o'clock the market was comparatively dull and fairly steady at a shade below first prices, Silver opened at 1103; highest sale, 1104; lowest sale, 109; last sale, 109. ——_.

F NO EXTRA SESSION. The Matter Determined at Today’s Cabinet Meeting. Tt can be stated on good authority that while the Presilent was much in doubt as to whether or not he ought to call an extra session of Congress, a conclusion has at length been reached which settles the much vexed question in the negative. The matter has been under consideration ever since Congress adjourned, and although the President favored the reconvening of both Houses at an early date he has doferred to the counsels of his advisers and will allow things to move along in their regular way. It has been made plain that an extra session called simply to meet a party exi- ne: uld be an error that could be most gly used in the campaign, THE ANACOSTIA ROAD, The Commissioners Will Have It Widened if Land ts Donated. The Commissioners this afternoon gave a hearing to those interested in the widening of Anacostia road. The hearing was given to allow those who objected to the widening of the road, which the Commissioners think con- ducive to the best interests of the people, a chance to enter a protest. When Commissioner Douglass called for ob- jectors Mr. Arthur Christie stated that as the widening of the road would destroy several of his houses he objected to it, butif the Commis- sioners would pay for the damages sustained he wonld have no objection. Mr. Barker suggested that Congross be asked appropriate sufficicent money to cover his joss. Capt. Rossell, who was present, explained that €ongress had appropriated $10,000 for the widening of this road, provided sufficient land be donated on each side of the road. Among those present were Messrs, M. L Weller, Chas. Barker, A. C, Stravits, Wm. Mayse, Jos, Batchelder, J. C. Coloman, A. M. Bliss, Arthur Christie and H. A. Griswald. The Commissioners will order the improve- ment if the lund is donated. a ON THE BACHELOR COURTS, The All-Comers’ and District Tourna- ments Began Today.
