Funeral Services Held at St. rick’s Catholic Chureh. ‘The remains of Private William T. Nel- son of Company A. 1st District of Columbia Volunteers, who succumbed to the fever at Boston, and whose body was brought here Saturday morning, were interred at Mt. Olivet this morning with full military honors. The funeral services were held at St. Patrick's Church at 9:30 o'clock, where solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Stafford, assisted by Rev. Fathers McGee and Bart. Company A, known as the Emmet Guard, acted as the military escort. The funeral party started from the late residence, 210 41% street, at 9 o'clock, with Company A at the head of the procession, with fifes and muffled drums. When the church was reached Company A lined up and presented arms, while a detail from the command acted as body bearers in re- moving the casket from the hearse into the church. The coffin wes enshrouded in the American flag, while there were many beautiful floral tributes, among them & handsome piece from the members of the company. The men stacked arms and took seats in the front pews reserved for them. Dr. Stafford delivered an address, in which he euolgized Nelson both as a ‘sol- dier and as a man. He also spoke eloquent- ly of the cause that had called for the ser- vices of the volunteers. His remarks were delivered with that force and earnestness which have made Dr. Stafford so well wn as a Speaker, and were recelved with profoundest attention by those who crowded the church from altar rail to doors. At the close of the services Company A filed out, and, coming to attention, pre- sented arms while the casket was re- turned to the hearse. The line of march to Mt. Olivet was then taken up by way Pat- of H street, the military escort at the front. There was a short service at the cemetery, Company A firing the usual vol- leys. Taps sounded, and the services were at an end. + A SURGEONS EXPERIENCE. Dr. Arwine Tells of His Part in the Caban Campaign. Dr. James T. Arwine of 529 7th street northwest recently returned from Cuba, where he went July 2 as acting assistant Ssurgeoi with several other physicians from Wash- ington and elsewhere, he took passage on the hospital ship Relief, arriving at Si- United States army. In company | boney July 8. His first duties were to at- tend wounded iersdthose injured in the fighting at Santifigo July 1 to 3. He left Stboney the 10th, having been assigned to the fever hospital ne Santiago. He re- mained there until Ar it 1, when he was transferred to the sawmill ward of the re- serve divisional hospital, Siboney. August 25 this ward was abolighed and the doctor was placed in chi the officers’ ward, and August 20 hé became executive officer of the hospital camp. Since August 15 he has been suffering with malaria, but'continued to minister to the sick in hospital pntil September 3, when he reported sick, September 6, with the convalescents, he went aboard the Vigi- lant, bound for the United States, and on the voyage he had charge of the seventy- five patients in the forward ward. Upon landing at Montauk the doctor was grant- ed thirty days’ sick leave, and is at home to recuperate from the effects of his try- ing experiences and duties in the war. The doctor shows plainly the results of eaposure and hardships. There were in the hospitals where he was employed from seventy-five to 150 patients, the prevailing illness being yellow fever and malaria, the latter being the most fatal ailment. Dur- ing much of the time, he says, he slept in the hospital, so near to the patients that he could touch on either side of him those afflicted with yellow fever. His observ: tion in regard to the food provided for the soldiers is interesting. He says that at no time, to his knowledge, was there any scarcity of rations, either in the field or in the hospitals. In the front near San- tiago two or three days’ rations were is- sued to the men while on the march. To the regular soldiers this was more than sufficient for the time given, but the vol- unteers, as soon as rations were given them, would immediately eat all their stomachs could hold and throw away any that remained, with the inevitable result that they would be without food before other rations were issued. A little self- denial and forethought would have pre- vented the scarcity of food, about which there has been some complaint. He says that in the hospitals the men fared very well, the food supplied to the Patients regularly being soups, rice, oat- meal, potatoes and coffee. The regular army ration in abundance was provided when the men were sufficiently recovered to eat it. The doctor does not mean to say that there were no hardships or suffering from lack of food, but they were in many cases due to the improvidence of the men. In some cases officers were not as attentive as they might have been to the needs of the soldiers. Dr. Arwine expects to return to Cuba as soon as he has fully recovered. —_—+—_ FIRE AT ROCKVILLE. Stables in Rear of Corcoran Hotel Destroyed. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, September 19, 1898. Rockville last night made a narrow es- cape from a big conflagration. Between 6 and 7 o'clock flames were seen issuing from the stables in the rear of the Corcoran Hotel and an alarm was sounded which soon brought a large crowd to the scene. Those who were on the ground first suc- ceeded in getting out of the buildings the horses, vehicles and other articies. The fire originated in the upper part of the sta- ble, which was filled with bay and straw, and soon the entire structure was a mass of flames. There were in close proximity to the fire a number of wooden buildings, and two of these were on fire at the same time. Some deiay occurred in making connec- tion with the nearest fire plug, but when this was finally accomplished ‘the flames Were soon under control, and the adjacent buildings were saved, though in a some- what damaged conditidn. Within a few Yards of the fire was the large carriage mamufactory of Mr. S. B. Haney, two dwelling houses and the Cor- coran [iotel, all wooden structures, the lat- ter the largest building in the town. At one time it looked as if nothing could save them, and with them/a large portion of that section of the town was endangered. The loss by the burning of the stables and injury to; adjacent buildings will amount to about $1,200, upon which there was a partial insurance. This is the third fire that has occurred upon these premises within the past few years, in each of which the stables were destroyed. ‘The guests in the hotel were much alarm- ed amd began packing up for a hasty re- moval, and families.in.the adjoining dwell- ings were in the same state of anxiety. Mr. Haney will sugtain considerable loss from the flooding of his establishment and the hasty removal of a large number of fine carriages and buggies to a place of safety. This fire demonstrated in a marked de- | gree the efficieney of the flre department and the water works, which have been in existence but a few months. The origin of the fire is unknown, The buildings had been closed for the night a short time be- fore the flames appeared. Seen eee New K. of P. Lodge at Frederick.

The series of meetings incident to the cele- bration, revival of the ancient Israelitish custom to bring into the temple the first fruits of the harvest as an earnest of ap- preciation of the benefits conferred by the Lord of the harvest, are appropriately con- ducted. The decorations of the hall, No. 930 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, are unique and attractive. Over the front of the platform there is an immense arch, heavily draped with bunting and flags, with a star, also con- structed of flags, in the center. The place is festooned with various sorts of bunting | and flags, and in front of the central arch there is a long table, upon which are tasti- ly displayed the donations to the festival. The scene is suggestive of a corner of a drawing room, as many of the gifts consist of household goods, flowers, ete. The array of vegetables, fruits, etc., is also a liberal one. The contributions are to be sold at auc- tion tomorrow evening, and the proceeds will be devoted to the work of the army. Adjutant Owens and Captain Bell, in charge of the work in the northwestern portion of the city, will officiate at the fes- tival this evening. —— Suffering From Diphtheria. William Davis, colored, seven years of age, was found yesterday afternoon at the corner of 7th and P streets suffering from diphtheria. The boy's illness was noticed by a policeman, to whom the little fellow stated that he had been driven from home by a family of colored people when they discovered the nature of the disease, and that he had applied in vain for treatment at two hospitals. When found on the street he was on his way to Providence Hospital, to which institution ne had been directed. ‘The boy was sent to that hospital by Dr. Walsh of the health office, where he is now being treated. He is said to have a severe case of the disease. Seeeeetepetetay 3 At Hahn & Co.’s 3 Stores. Men’s Fall Shoes.

Coroner Carr this afternoon began an in- vestigation into the circumstances attend- ing the sickness and death of Mary Siyer, colored. The woman expired at Garfield Hospital Friday last, and the certificate filed at the health department gives ty- phoid fever, superinduced by hemorrhages, as the cause. This morning Sergeant Daley learned that on June 18, and again on the 20th of the same month, the woman's husband, Alexander Siver, alias Talson, is alleged to have beaten his wife very severely, and the sergeant reported the matter to Coroner Carr. Shortly after the assault was com- mitted Siver was arrested on a warrant sworn out by his wife, and was released on bail. This morning Sliver called at the office of Prosecutor Mullowny and asked that the warrant be nolle prossed. Mr. Mullowny refused and Siver immediately left the premises. If Coroner Carr decides that Siver was legally reponsible for his wife's death the accused will be prosecuted for the offense. a CONVENTION CALLED.
