SOME CONTRIBUTIONS Amid surroundings almost identically the Same as marked the funerals yesterday, the remains of Daniel Francis Conway, the young fireman who lost his life with four others as the result of the fatal Louisiana avertue -conflagration Monday evening last, were this morning committed to rest with the solemn rites of the Catholic Churca. The attendance at the funeral numbered several thousands of persons, who gathered to pay tribute to the memory of the young man who sacrificed life in the discharge of duty. After brief services at the residence of Mr. James T. Fitzgerald, an uncle of the unfortunate fireman, 914 Ist street north- west, a sorrowful little procession slowly moved to St. Aloysius Church, with a de- tail of about thirty firemen in the lead. As was the case at the four funerals yester- day, the casket was almost hidden from view by floral offerings, the pieces being ex- ceedingly handsome and very appropriate. On arrival at the church, the escort formed in double line, and, as the bell in the tower was mournfully tolled, the casket was borne inside by the pallbearers—P. D. Mar- tin of No. 11, Mosby Brown of No. 9, John A. Walsh of No. 1, G. A. Sweeney of truck Fred Cornwell of No. 5, C. W. Buhler of No. 2, M. J. Barry of No. 7 and T. P. Pur- cell of truck B. The seating capacity of, the church was entirely occupied as the remains were borne along the center aisle and placed just out- side the altar rail. The near relatives of the deceased were seated directly in the rear of the body, with the escort of firemen cn its right. Requiem mass was celebrated by Father Dolan, with the assistance of twelve sanctuary boys, the music being furnished by a choir of boys, all under twelve years of age, from St. Aloysius School, with Mr. Kubel as organist. During the mass Miss Katie Wilson sang ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” with beautiful effect, the choir joining in on the final bars. At the conclusion of the mass, Father Dolan, standing at the foot of the casket, delivered an earnest address in the nature of an eulogy. ‘One other hero is numbered among the silent dead,” said Father Dolan, “one other life has been sacrificed for ma- terial gain. To those who are left—those who loved him—the grief is deepest. You have gathered here to day in vast con- course to show your sympathy for those he has left behind. “What are worldly goods to life? He was saving property end attempting to save life when he laid down his own life. He obeyed orders; his sense of duty was the reason for his being taken away. He diced performing his duty as one of nature's no- blemen, risking his life for the property and lives of others. He literally died in battle, fighting dutifully. There is another werld, and if we die in God, penitent of our sins, we shall be happy forever after. “We were not intimately acquainted with the departed cne,"’ continued Father Dolan, “but-still, we knew him, and he possessed sterling characteristics. He was dutiful, he was fervent at prayer and had acknowl- edged his God. He was in this church only lost Rupday asking ebeotution from ne sins. “We are ‘pefyl fro] be proper _life that he is now wih Gow Geyer wis have come today to testify your sorrow, take the lesson to yourself, for each one of you may be called away as suddenly as was Mr. Conway. “Let us show our esteem, love, venera- ticn and admiration of the deeds he has done,” said Father Dolan in conclusion, y constantly praying for the repose of his scul. The remains were then borne outside, passing ¢gain between the double lines of ccmrades of the dead man, placed itt the hearse, and the pageant moved to Mount Clivet cemetery. On arrival there Father Dolan read the burial service of the Cath- olic Church, and the body was placed ut rest. The altar at St. Aloysius was espe- cially decorated for the service. The fureral of George W. Kettler yes- terday afternoon presented several partic- ulerly sad features, the most conspicuous being the grief of the young wife of the deceased, who was left a widow after a jwartiage of but three weeks’ duration. The services were held at Trinity M. E. Church, 4th street southeast, and were lergely attended. All that was mortal of Fireman George H Giles was buried with Masonic honors yesterday afternoon, the services taking place at Gunton Memorial Church, and in- terment being made in Rock Creek cem- etery.

In addition to the Marine Band, many other well-known organizations have ten- dered their services, including the Carroll Institute Dramatic Club, the Rublaste Glee Club, the Capital Glee Club and Will Haley's new Washington Military Band. Manager Allen, with his characteristic and customary philanthropy, has given the use of Allen’s Grand Opera House for the oc- casion, and a strikingly good program is being prepared. Admission to ail parts of the house will be 50 cents each, and will be sold by members of the fire and police de- partments, as well as placed on sale at all nent’ establishments. Pithe Burnt Cork Club, assisted by the Car- roll Institute Orchestra, will appear the night of June 10 for the benefit of the fund. The Odd Fellows have tendered the use of their commodious hall on 7th strect, be- tween D and 5, for the entertainment, which doubtless will, as it should, attract a large audience. ‘Next Thursday evening at G. A. R. Hall Lafayette Post, G. A. R. will give an enter- tainment for the same laudable object. ‘The tickets for the benefit are being printed gratuitously by Mr. J. W. Will- fams, and offers of ald have been tendered the committee by many business men. Additional volunteers today have been the Carroll Institute Minstrels, Miss Irene Rowland, monologuist; Miss Grady, pian- ist; and the pupils of Miss A. Sprosser. ‘The Camera Club has also offered to give fifteen minutes of an illustrated poem, promising that the illustrations shall be some of the most beautifully volored works of art ever seen here. The Albaugh Dra- matic Club has also volunteered to put on a one-act play or a scene from some play. Miss Katle V. Wilson has tendered the services of the Cecilian Ladies’ Quartet. Unauthorized Collectors. : Chief Parris of the fire department said today that he had learned of unauthorized persons collecting money from house to house for the benefit of the families of the dead firemen, and he thinks some at them impostors. There has been but one person authorized to solicit contributions in this way, he said, and he is collecting in Northeast Washington and has a sealed box. He desires that persons who wish to contribute send the money to his office or to the newspaper offices. —. — Acts Approved. The President has approved the act re- quiring bills of sale, conditional sales, mortgages or deeds of trust of chattels in the District of Columbia: the act author- izing the Denison and Northern Railway Company, to operate a railway through the Indian territory; the act authorizing the sale of the title of the United States in lot 5, square 1113, in the city of Washington; the act amending the statutes in regard to liens on freight cherges, etc.; the act to correct the record of Captain Henry S.

Last Sunday the pulpit was filled by the Rev. Mr. Prescott, assistant min- ister at St. Paul's Church. Several plans have been proposed as a way out of the difficulty, but the only solution seems to be that a new deed will have to be given by St. John’s Church, and if the vestry of the latter church refuse to do this, then the church will have to go back to a mis- sion. ———___ Real Estate at Auction.

Foreign Minsions, At the conclusion of this report council adjourned until § o'clock, when a meeting of the Foreign Missionary Society was held, Bishop John B. Newton presiding. Rev. Dr. John McKnabb of King George Court House preached the annual sermon. He was followed by Rev. M. Kai of Japan, who delivered an interesting address in Japanese, which was interpreted by Rev. J. Thompscn Cole, general secretary of the Foreign Missionary Society. Interesting addresses were also made by Rev. Dr. J. W. Morris, missionary to Jsrazil, and J. Thompson Cole. The church was crowded with the largest congregation of the coun- cil, and the music by the Parish Chapter of Praige was particularly beautiful. The last day’s session was opened this morning at 9:30 o'clock, with divine serv- ices by Revs. P. P. Phillips and Edward Temper. Rey. O. M. Yerger of Harrison- burg preached the sermon. In the absence of Bishop Whittle the council was called to order at 10:45 o'clock by Assistant Bishop John B. Newton. The minutes of yesterday's proceedings were read by the secretary, and after some changes of minor importance were im- proved, Rev. George W. on arose to a question of privilege and offered the fol- lowing resolution: “Resolved, That, th= council of Virginia heard with deep regret remarks made yesterday by Rey. D. F. Sprigg, which were in the nature of at- tack upon the bishop of this diocese, im- pugning both motive and action in the discharge of his offictal duties. An Apology Incident. “Resolved, That Dr. Sprigg offer an apology to the bishop and to this council.” Major John Page, as soon as this resolu- tion was read, arose and spoke in -depre- cation of such action, and moved to lay on the table. Before any acticn could be ti ever, Dr. Sprigg arose and sal that Rev. Dr. Nelson will withdraw that resclution. It was my intention to apolo- gize to Bishcp Whittle as soon as he ar- rived at church. Does the council intend to gibbet me on the journals of the diocese because I made a mistake?” The resolution was then withdrawn. Several standing committees then made their reports, among which were reports on state of the church, diocesan mis- sionary society, seminary and widows and orphans. ‘he following is the report of the finance committee: Amount received for the year ending May 11, 1896, from the quotas as- sessed on each parish, $7,582.22, with bal- ance on hand from last year, making a total of $9,595.26; the expenses amounted to $8,808.19, making the balance on hand $696.95. A motion of Rev. Nelson D. Dame for some form of transfer of parish com- municants from one parish to another, was laid on the table. - Rev. Pike Powers moved that the ex- ecutive committee of the Diocesan Mis- sionary Society be relieved from paying the salary of the evangelist, and the coun- cil assume the responsibility of the amount of his salary. After quite a heated discussion, a vote was taken, and it was decided by an over- whelming majority to employ an evangelist. The Rey. Dr. Sprigg, editor of the Southern Churchman, arose and publicly apologized to Bishop Whittle and the council for his remarks at yesterday's session, which were accepted by a rising vote. Rev. Dr. Good- win introduced a resolution calling atten- tion to the good work done by the Virginia Biblo Society, which was accepted. The council received an invitation from the vestry of St. George’s Church of Fredericks- Lurg for the next annual council, and it was unanimously accepted, after which an ad- journment was taken to 3:80 o’clock. Woman's Auxiliary. In Christ Church yesterday the annual meeting of the Woman’s Auxiliary Society was held. Miss Sallie Stuart, president of the auxiliary, called the mceting to order. The reports of the secretaries of the junior branches of the auxiliary were then read. ‘These reports showed how the young peo- ple had been assisting in the work of the auxiliary.

A tall, dignifed railway conductor, with a Grand Army buttcn on his coat and a Scot- tish Rite Mason's charm fastened to his watch guard, was being introduced to the members of a post. “Colonel Vilet, shake hands with Comrade Jeardeau.” “Why, I know you!” Both spoke at the same time the same words, yet they had not seen each other since 1864, when Vlict was a captain and Jeardeau a private in the thirty-first Wisconsin. Viet was promoted to lieuten- ant colonel of a new regiment, and Jear- deau fought it out cntil Bentonville, when he wes struck down by a wound that he will never recover from. “You were not as tall wher. I saw you in 1864 as you are now,” said Colonel Vliet. “No, sir; six inohes were added to my height after I camo out of the army.” Think of that, fathers and mothers who have boys from fifteen to seventeen, and imagine them carrying heavy kuapsacks, a musket, sixty rounds of ammunition, five days’ provisions, an extra sult of clothes, a blanket, an overcoat, and now and then standing up all da» to be shot at and to shoot at others! You think they could not do it, don’t you? Others did it. Jeardeau did it. Half a million boys ranging from fifteen to eighteen did that kind of work, and if a similar emergency were to arise, if our form of government were again endan- gered, mijlions of such boys as Jeardeau, who got bis growth after he had served three years in the war, where he performed the duties of a man, being shot like a man, would flock to the recruiting officers and offer their lives that the old flag might go right on waving over the land of the free.
