There were thirty prisoners in the Party, among them being several despera- dees. Several of the prisoners had been sentenced for making and passing counter- felt money, others were moonshiners, and two colored men in the party were under sentence for perjury. Heavy izon chains were used to hold the prisoners, and Spe- cial Deputy Marshe! J. Overton said it was Pecessary to keep especial watch over two of the men, who would not stop at any of- fense in an effort to escape. United States Marshal James Joy had charge of the par- ty, and with him were ten deputies. ——_——— Bay Ridge on the Chesapeake. Salt water bathing. Excellent n cals.

From the House to the Charen, After prayers at the residence of the par- ents of the decased the immaculate white casket,containing the ttle body and covered with beautiful floral designs, also of white, was borne by six acolytes,or sanctuary boys, clad in purple robes, to a white hearse, while another walked ahead, carrying a bed of roses, surmounted by a pure white dove, with wings outstretched. Mr. Russell, the father of the dead boy, accompanied by Eddie's sister and grandmother, followed, while scores of relatives and ‘immediate friends took possession of a long line of carriages. Mrs. Russell was too ill to leave her bed. As the casket was carried .through the outer doors of the church prayers were again uttered, but they could not be heard, owing to the loud and pathetic sobs of the ladies with Mr. Russell. Father Gillespie, with three altar boys, was in waiting at the entrance, and as the organist rendered “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” headed the sor- rowful procession down the center aisle to the altar rail. “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” Was then sung by the choir, after which Father Gillespie read in Latin and English the impressive Catholic burial service and burned incense about the remains. Father Gillespie's Remarks. The utmost silence reigned, troken at in- tervals by the crying of the mourners, us Father Gillespie announced as the text of his remarks, “He was taken before sin and iniquity could darken his understanding; be- fore malice could beguile his soul.” “Death is always unexpected, and alwi paintul whep it comes,” began the priest, wut there is nothing more certain in the world. We see it all around us daily—still it is always unexpected. However, the cir- cumstances under which this death oceur- red were unusually pathetic and painful, and we all extend to the relatives and broken-hearted parents of the deceased our Menrtielt evympathy. “But the event having taken pla¢s,” co! {inued Father Gillespie, “we should try to see in connection with it the hand of Almighty God, and should accept it in that light. The parents have already done so. Yesterday the doubly afflicted mother s for me and begged me to sce that the per- son charged with the offense does not suffer at the hands of the law. That was a beau- tiful sentiment. “Although his body fs dead, his soul is living in heaven,” the priest went on to say. ‘He went up before the throne of God as an angel to pray for that father and mother left behind. We sitll see him again. But if Almighty God allows these things to hap- pen to the innocent, is it not a lesson to us who are living? Every death by accident warns us that we should watch and pray, for we know not the day or the hour when the same may cecur to us. The-efore, I Say, accept this death with resignation and let the event teach us all a lesson.” Interment at Glenwood. The body was again carried to the hearse, amid the hushed “toling of the bell, and tee the funeral procession slowly wended its way out North Capitol street to Glen- wood cemetery, where interment was made as prayers were said, and amid the sobs of the father, sister and grandmother. Arrangements Made to Attend the G. A. R. Encampment at Pitts rz. Quite an interest was manif=sted in the regular monthly meeting of the Old Guard, held on Tuesday night, Capt. J. M. Edgar Presiding. The report of the entertainment committee on the midsummer night enter- tainment and campfire, to be given in con- junction with the Mount Pleasant Drum, Fife and Bugle Corps, at Mount Pleasant on the 15th, 16th and 17th instars, was made. The committee cn transportation report- ed that arrangements had been perfected with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for the corps to leave on a special train Sun- day, 9th of September, at a.m., for Pitts= burg, arriving at that place at’ 7:30 p.m., stopping for dinner at Cumberland. Th. return trip will be made via the Pennsyl- vania Central railroad, leaving Pittsburg at 8 a.m. Saturday, September 15, lying over at Johnstown until 10:30 p.m., where they will be entertained by the G.

The Chapin Auxiliary of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of this city held its usual semi-monthly meeting last evening in the Central Union Mission build- ing. Owing to the absence of the president, Mrs. M. E. Cohen, who is spending a few weeks at Ocean Grove, the meeting was in charge of Mrs. George H. La Fetra, who gave a Bible talk on the subjects of cour- age and faith. At the conclusion of this talk the matter of pumps in the District was taken up, and the ladies made an earnest plea for their salvation, on the ground that they are a blessing to the poor In the way of furnishing cool water, while the charges of their unsanitary condition had not been proved. —__—_—__ Slandering the In To the Paitor of The Evening Sta Will you be so kind as to allow a little explanation? The papers have gotten the Cherokees mixed up with the Indians in Oklahoma, who are devotees to the sun dance. The Cherokeees do not live in Ok- lahoma. They never did practice such amusement as the sun dance Is said to be. They know nothing about it. They are pos- sessed of a high order of civilization. They look upon dances of any kind as unbe- coming a Christian people. They are so puritanical in their sentiments as to look éven upon the theater as of vitiating ten- dency. But the Indians about whom com- plaint is made in this instance, on account of their practice of the sun dance, happen to be “citizens” Oklahoma territory. Beautiful “American citizens;” thet is to | if they do really practice such amuse- ments as ere “indecent” and amount to a display of “vulgarity.” The whole story is crly another attempt to glve the Indian a bad name, as an excuse to justify his ex- terminauon, WALTER A.

Making Arrangements for the Big Parade. The matter of the big Labor day parade was taken up at a conference of delegates from the labor organizations of the Dis- trict held last evening at the corner vf 7th and L streets, in Bricklayers’ Hall. The business transacted related chiefly to the big parade, which it is proposed to make worthy in every respect of the interests of organized labor in Washington. Reports from the delegates indicate that in the neighborhood of 5,000 men will be in line, and that the parade will be supplemented special attractions. The meet- alled to order by the chairm: Millard F sembly, che ing by the delegates, and confirmed by the Hobbs of the Plasterers’ As- en 4S marshal at the last méet- various labor assemblies. Mr. Hobbs re- sponded briefly, expressing his intention to make the parade a success, and asking the co-operation’ of ail the organizations in- terested. Delegate Boyce announced that tickets for the co-operative picnic, which wil! be heid at Bethesda Park, will be issued upon ap- plication to the several cnions and assem- bites, each of the organizations to be re- sponsible tor the number of tickets ordered. This was approved by the conference, and it was ordered that the seal of each union or assembly be attached to the tickets be- fore being Issued to individuals. After receiving reports from the ol of the various unions as to the numt men they wou'd probably have in line, the conference decided that invitations be ex- ended to the President, Vice President, Speaker Crisp and the ‘members of the House and Senate who engineered the bill for Labor day, Se x man Cummings. This was only done, lively ani however, spirited debate, in the course of which some rather unpleasant things were sald as to the attitude of the powers that be toward organized labor. after a ———___ ANNOYED A CHENAMAN, But the Boy Who Broke the Window Had to Suffer. Sam Kee ts the name of a Chinaman who conducts a shirt-washing establishment at 6th and K streets southwest. In his neigh- berhcod the male residents under the age of sixteen years are genuine boys, and they often enjoy themselves about the laundry calling the owner names which he does not like to hear. A few days ago Sam bought a large watermelon, and was on his way home with it, when a party of colored boys saw him. They were probably more inter- ested in the melon than they were in the Chinaman, but they did not want to com- mit what they thought would be robbery, and so they annoyed Sam to such an ex- | sscaped | days | tent that he forgot the melon and pursued them. Of course, the melon Cropped, and then there was a feast. The next time the boys annoyed Sam one of them broke his window with a stone. Anderson Stewart, an _eleven-year-old member of the party, threw the Stone, and his mother kept him out of the way of the police several days. But yesterday Policeman Stenhouse ar- rested Anderson and locked him up. This morning the boy’s mother and sev- eral distant relatives were in court to hear the trial. Anderson pleaded guilty, and his mother said she would repair the damage. Sam said that a new glass would cost $1.2 and Mrs. Anderson said the cost would make no difference, so far as she was con- cerred. The toy had been locked up, and the judge thought his ircarceration, together with the repair of the window, was punish- ment enough for this offense, and execu- tion of sentence was suspeuded, with a warning as to his conduct in the future. _ se Delays in Issuing Tax Certificates, To the Editor of The Evening Star: A sbort time ago Mr. C. C. Glover wrote to the District Commissioners calling their attention to the fact that tax certificates were being issued which did not have tax sales noted upon them. The assessor was then ordered by the Commissioners to note such sales. Since that time it has been im- Possible to procure tax certificates at all. I have been informed that one of the title companies has not received a certificate for over two weeks. On visiting the assessor's office a few days ago in search of an over- due certificate I was informed by one of the clerks that the delay was caused by the search for tax sales. I went to the room where the certificate was being held up and asked to see it. Noted upon it was “sold for taxes in 1828." Being surprised that a sale so far back should have been noted, 1 asked one of the clerks how far back they carried the search and he replied “to the foundation of the government.” Now it is very evident to me that an unnecessary de- lay is being caused in issuing tax certifi- cates for the purpose of raising a public kick against the search for tax sales, in which event the Commissioners would’ re- scind the order. When property has been sold for taxes two years must elapse be- fore a tax deed is given by the Commis- sioners. Before the deed is given a pur- chaser has no way of ascertaining about the sale unless it is noted upon his tax certificate, but if a deed has been given and recorded, then the title company notes it upon their opinion. It would, therefore, appear that two years would be far enough for the assessor tc go back in his search for tax sales, at all events, twenty years would be more than ample ume for all pur- poses.
