Official Movement to Prevent Theatre Fires in New York, PROGRESS OF THE RELIEF FUND. The excitement occasioned by the dreadiul disaster the Brooklyn Theatre had scarcely abated yester- day, All duy long eager crowds continued to gather at Washington and Jonson streets to catch a glimpse of the ruins, while many anxious relatives, in search of missing ones, tearfully scrutinized the remains of the victims at the’deadhouses, The disaster was still the theme of every tonguc, and to many imaginations the scenes enacted on that fatal spot since tho discovery of the fire in the flies came back more viv- idiy even than in the first wild excitement of the tatastrophe. bhese sad scenes now that the blood is cooler and the From the first lurid it may not be unprofitable to recall heart beats less tumultuous, @ame which shot oat with devastating power from The broken border light to the last sob over some tharred body recognized by a sign clear only to the tye of affection, every incident and opisode of the dis- aster has a living and over present interest, The stage Scene, with its quartet of characters inthe boatman’s hut, the mantle of flame bursting out from the pro- scenium in the presence of the audience, the sudden fright of the people and the appeals of the players, the momentary silence and the mad stampode, the fatal crush on the stairway aud the madness and de- Mpair of the imprisoned victims, tho angry rush of the flame and the suffocating embraces of the tmoke, the fall of the galleries, the crumbling of the walls, the cries of the multitude in the sireet, the play of the water on the flames and embers and the dread calm which followed, are not a mere eatalogue of dire- fai events followingeach other in rapid succession, but a series of stereoscopic pictures photographed by sympathy and suffering upon the imagination, THR DAY AND NIGHT APTER THK FIRE. It was a fearful day and night which succeeded the night of the disaster, but its awful reality was scarcely felt in that season of supreme agony. There were the falieu walls of the edilice, and on the outside the surging mass of citizens trying to catch a glimpse of the terrible work going forwara with) Within were the masses of débris half concealing, half revoal- tng the heaps of doaa beneath. It was a sight which, buee seen, could nevor be forgotten. At the eatrances Were the ambulances waiting for the dead, or bearing them away to the temporary morgues oue after another In sad procession, At the morgues wore the gloom of fleath, terribly heightened by the sighs of anxiety and the distresses of discovery. Sorrow was seen on every tountenance. At every step almost were little knots of men discussing the event in all ifs phases. Over and over again the scene on the stairway was de- serived, anti! the descriptions began to have some- \uing of the awe of reality. The death of the two comedians, Mardoch and Burroughs, was on every topgue, and with the plaints of sorrow for their fate were mingied the praises merited by the ardor of their youth and their ambition. It was thus the day wore on And the night began, but the search for the dead was not discontinued, even for a moment, until it was be- Meved the last body had been found. THE LATER PHASRS OF THE DISASTER. It was not certain, however—it 1s not certain even oow—that the bodies have all been recovered. When the remains of the two women and the child were founa under the débris of the dress circle on Wednes day morning it was hoped that all the fruits of the ter- rible search had been gathered. Yesterday, however, three more bodies were discovered, and still others may be found before the débris is ail removed, The grand total so far 1s 297. Tweive workmen were en- gaged inthe ruins during the day, Every stroke of the pick almost revealed some memento of the mimic art to which the edifice had been devoted. The Chief of Police, who superintended the work, every now and then kicked with his footsome of the mementoes of the plays and the players left by the devouring flames, Now it a battered shield or helmet used in tho procession in the first act of ‘Julius Cvesar.” Thon it was a picce of theatrical wardrobe detached from the person who wore itor torn away im the crash of falling walls and timbers and buried in the ashes and mortar, Again, it was a bitof stage carpet or scenery, or other evidence of the uses to which the house had been put, It was thua the third day after the catastrophe wore on and night again settled on the scone of such woe us Las not been seen before under like circumstances, At the deadhouses the recognition of lost relatives were fewer und fewer, but the removal of the bodies und the pre for sepulture took the place of the agonizing actions Of the previous eight anc forty hours, Sowo of the dead were buried yesterday, but most of the v: will be carried vo thoir last resting place to-day, and this morning's sun wil! rise upon the saadest and most folomn part of the ceremonies consequent upon this terrible disaster, Ali but eighty bodios bad up to last hight been identitied. The whole city of Brooklyn isin mourning and the flags are all at balf-mast and will ftemain so until the last sad scene in the sorrowful episode 1s enacted, mourning and many private edifices along the principal thoroughfares display great tesioons of black and white wuslin, The City Hall, within a stone’s throw of the scene of the fatal accident, jooks staid ana sol- tmn io tts gloomy adornment, A more Javish display of mourning drapery has not beeu vouchsafed the pub- lic eye eince the nation mantfeaied its grief at Linco!n’s teath, To-day the funeral of the unrecognized vicums takes place; but even then the grief will not be past, Bod the burning of the Brooklyn Theatre will long cast & gloom over the City of Churches. AT THR MORGUM, Vosterday at the Morgue was a quieter and perhaps more sorrowful day than the one betore, Many bodies Bad been romoved by loving friends, and those that re- Muined were for the most part unidentified. They Jay in the same povitions, aod the large gaps in the limes made by the removal of the identitied seemed to Make those that remained more horrible in their ghastly isolation, The visitors were just as many in The City Hail bas been draped in | | began to gather in the hallway and to smaist clamor- a es number, but there seemed to be fewer searchers and more curiosity seekers than heretofore. a sree PKOWD. Without the building the peeple struggled and fougut for positions near the windows and entrances, and it was noticeable that among the crowd were many laughing young girls and addlepated young males, whose greatest object in life appeared to Lea sight of | the charred bodies of the unknown dead. But amid | the throng there were still those whose hearts beat | fearfully, and whose eyes were silently dropping tears for the loved ones they could not find, It ts bard to deserive that mass of pushing bamanity. It may seem impossible to believe that there were those who boldly claimed a relative among the dead simply tor the entrance it gave tbem to the houve of mourning; that there were those who claimed bodies to be theirs for the one or two poor trinkets that lay glistening amid the ghastly Liackpess on the Losois of their dead owners; yet, horrible as it appears, there were several. A TRERINEE SIGHT. ‘The windows on two sides of tho Morgue were about sixfeet above the pavement, aud on one side were Jovel with the ground, These windows were covered on the inside by loag yellow curtains that were suse pended trom the top. People—mev, women, girls and crowded around and pushed and struggled so efvctually as to break almost all the glass in the frames, Standing on the inside amid the black- bodies and looking toward the windows thi scene Was almost unbearable, There were men whose | faces bore the stamp of brutality in every line, strug- tu obtain a glance at the horrible scene; there , whose lips were parted with outst smile, Who, helped trom below, glared over the win dow sill at the few bodics within the reach of their | eyes; there were boys that, banging by thetr hands, Would draw themselves up and gaze on the scene within with a fascination that lefta photograph upon | their bruins uever to be efluced. ‘Tbe writer saw young girls struggle up to the level of the window, give one glunce—a giuuce of terror aud disway—and then sink back out of sight, ONE OF THE MOKMD, Once the curtam of one of the windows had fallen down, and for a moment the crowd without was bid from View, A.moment more and the writer saw a small, shapely hand, upon which sparkled elegant rings, stei hd quietly pes aside the curtain, The t & woman’s--was redned aud intellectua now so distorted with the worbid passion ag to be painful to look upon. The eyes shove with a ght thatis tadescribable; the drawn apart lips looked bard ag stone and the teeth gleamed strangely through tem, Sho took a long, Steady gaze, as il Wishing to fix the scene upon ber mind, then’ sank back out of sieht, and the rusting of her sitk was heard as she burried over the pavement of the court, The curtain fell back in its plate, but was soou disturbed again by rougher hands and more sympathixing faces, A woman who had looked long and earnestly stooped to theground, and, catching up fa little girl about six years of age, held ber up to the window, ‘the poor httie thing's eyes opened wide With astonishment at first, but as she began to realize | the terrible scene before her the hgbt of astonishment gave place to ove of terror. Wildly her eyes glanced from corpse to corpse, {rom horror to horror, until at length she {eli back, limp and white, upon ber mother's neck, shrieking, “Mamma, mumma, take me away; take me away !'? Her little eyes had seen a sight that will haunt ber little brain for years. | WITHIN THE RULLDING. lo the interior of the Morgue the horror grows upon ove who, like the writer, bus had to pass hour after hour there. Thought crowded upon thought till the soul was sickened as well as the sense, Was there a father, or mother, or wife mourning for that poor fragment of charred flesh that, lying with outstretched arms, seemed to plead for recognition? faa that beap' of mangled pieces been the hope, the stay of some sorrowing family? Ab! it was a pitiful scene yesterday morning, those eighteen black and ghastly bodies. No one claimed them; no tear was dropped for them as they were made ready tor buriai; no silent prayer will arise trom s.ricken hearts as their faces are hidden forever from the gaze of the world, Late in the ufternoon the Morgue was thrown open, under proper arrangements, und the people were allowed to pass through the building, The curiosity seekers were many, aud during the time three women fainted at the awtul sights and were carried out by the soldiers on duty. At this writing there are six un- recognized bodies, so badly burued as to preclude the possibility of their being recognized, and four which have oon identitied, but still remain at the Morgue. WHAT MAY SERVE TO IDENTIFY THEM. Corpse No. 3 bas with ita penknife, with a peculiar checkered cast iron handle, titty cents in money and a two cent piece. Corps No. 21 has two white merino shirts. Corpse No. 23 hus a metal conductor's badge and a pocket handkerchief markea “J., No, 2” AT THE OLD MARKET. The same sorrowful scenes enacted for two days pro- viously were witnessed yesterday at the Old Market House, A detachment of the Thirteenth regiment of the Brooklyn militia stood guard around the building and aided to keep back the throng endeavoring to make its way toward the entrance. A close line was formed across Adama street at either end of the building, and mo one unarmed with an offi. cat pass was allowed to cross the line or enter the building. The smell of carbolic acid and of the charred remains of the poor victims bung heavy on the air within the building. The long rows of the dead were broken in spots where bodies had been recog. nized and removed, and searching friends congregated aboutin little groups that lay at irregular distances around the rough and soiled boards, Men and women old and young, were there as before secking to find what they most feared; some with tearful eyes weary of a three days’ gearch in yain for evea the poor com- fort of finding the distorted remains of a dear relative; j others, whose fears were but recently aroused by the absence from home of one of the household, came in haste to learn the worst. There were others, too, present from that strange curiosity which impels sume people toward scenes of horror, There were so many indeed, that the police were compelled to clear tho place, and for a time to restrict the privilege of enter- ing to mombers of families sceking their lost ones Outside the building a line of undertak- era’ Wagons stood waiting to carry off tho bodies as fast as identilled; and’ as soon as one was brought out and driven off, the crowd tll. ing the streets would fall back and make way for its passaye, asking cach other, in undertones, “Who 18 iy” The sights within the building, where the already mourning iriends were scarching for assurance of their cause for sorrow, were such as to leave a lasting impression on the minds of all who witnessed thein, Aged mothers examining the garments on the bodies in the dread hope of finding ne fumiliar article by which to identify the remains of some lovel child; sisters searching for tho brothers who left them onthe evening of the calamity in health and spirits; wives soekiug the husbands they loved so well, and to whom they and the little ones at home louk for their daily bread. “No PRIENDS."? i Here and thero was the vody of some poor ad with | a label on it, bearing his name and the sorrowful words, “No friends.’’ Shortly atter dark an aged woman came rushing in the building, crymmg out in piteous tones “Where 18 number four #”” As she came suddenly on a charred mass of bodies, in which the outlines of human forms were barely dis- cernable, she burst into.tears, and staring at the fear- ful ight, she cried ow “Johuny, my darling, my darling, where are you! My God! My Gou! From one group to another she sped rapidly around the room, seeking her lust son, wuile her daughter followed ber, sobbing as if her heart would break. Later in the evening a number of plan coflins were brought th and numbered to correspond with the pia- | cards on the unknown dead, The bodies that were be- | yond any chauce ot recognition were placed in them. | Others that could no longer be exposed were ulso en- | | | closed with as much decency as possiv: Later in the evening the work of placing the ro- mains which had not been claimed, and such as had been so thoroughly disfigured to ve beyond Fecugnition, in the — collins rnished by the city Was resumed und continued unul midmght. | Soon atter eleven o'clock the floor was cleared sol the spectators who bad called sitaply out of curiosity, all the bodies and parts of bodies that could be placed tna coffin without breaking having veen proviously re- moved, The misshapen ones were straightened foreibly aad coflined when the under | ployed by the city authorities took cl of them. The only body identified after nine P. M. was that of Charles H. Rowe, and his identification was only by sone private cards found in bis clothing. ‘The building will remaia open tilt this morning for the recognition and removal of te remaining bodies, and during the day they will be buried, under the arrangements detailed further ou, AT THE CORONER'S OFFICE Early yestorday morning a squad of police were sta- tioned in the corridors of the Court Houae, and the | seetion where the Coroner's office is located was sed- ulously guarded from the intrusion of the mere sight secing crowd, This provision on the part of the au- thorities was not uncalled tor, as very soon a crowd ously om making their way to the Ccrover’s cham- ber. Most of these were triends of tho dead secking permits to remove the bodies for burial, but thero were a great many people, too, who had been spared such @ painful interest ia the conflagration’s victime and who came in quest of passes only to enable them to fenst their morbid curiosity on the dreadful spectacie shut in by the walls of the Morgue and Market. The deservediy curt ¢ Missal which greeted sone few of these persons, Whos motives Were too transparent, from the police on duty, served aftor a time to diminish the pressure, and through the day only those were admitted who came to inquire about dead friends, Coroners Simins and Nolan bad their hands fuil in attending to the demands of applicants and the scenes they were forced to wit: ness Were of a nature painful nou so officials to realize how sad their dutie PASSES AND PERMITS ISSUED, Coroner Simms assisted by his clerk, Mr. Cooney, spent the day dn receiving applications tor the removal of bodies aud signing permits according it, But the demand for passes was xu great that Coroner Nolan, who issued them, required the assistance of six clerks from the Sheriffs and Commissioners of Jarors’ offices Nearly 6,000 of those pasges were said to have beon j with him to his death, | force, sadden taking-off, to which human feelings and issued, many, of course, to people who bad no motive other than curiosity in seeking the awful exhibition, but who wore willing to fabricate apy pretext by which their ghoulish craving to look upon the dead might be indulged. The applications for permits to remove corpses were necessarily fower; but there were many people brought to the Coroner's office un. der the impression that he could in some way help them to identify their lost fricnds. As a drowning man clings to astraw, so did some of the fathers and mothers ond brothers who appeared in the Court House yesterday cleave to the Lope, forlorn aa it was, that some little trinket might be held by the Coroner, that somo bit of metal, # stud or button, uo matter what, might have been taken from the unshapely cinders and reserved to prove whove body they had been. Of course ail such applicants bad to be refered to the police captain in charge of such articles, and it was sad Wo witness the despondency With which many of ge afflicted mourners hurried off to resume their dreary search. THE RRLCS OF THE DRAD. A number of police were detailed to direct these ap- plicants to the spot where the Coroner had arranged to place the relics of the departed for identitication. It wax a chamber jn a bouse oa Fulton street that had been set apart for this sad exnibition, It hud been lately used by Judge Morse for a court room, and old desks, tables and office furniture were scattered through it promiscuousiy. Along one side of the rooin a pile of lninber was raised, and i the corners was stored whatever dcbris Wo aparttnent held when lurned to its pew purposes. Arranged on tables and unucr the direct supervision of Drill Capiain Jewett apd a number of assistants were the articles which hat survived from the flames and which bad been picked from the ashes, scorched, blackened, but in many cases entire. A strange assortment of knick-knacks were spread out, some of them having a patnful suggestivencss when associated with the memory of their owners, Herea watchs blackened and dinted case lay, there a bunch of keys. A halt burned bundle of letters, with a dise torted pocket book, was placcd between a brown bit of tin that bad once boen a puotograph, and a jittle silver mounted box, Here was a bead or two of a necklace that had no doubt once adorned beauty, and there a ring, blackened and shapeless, but the surviving pledge perhaps of a life's affection, ‘These little metallic cir- clets so msignificant, so frailaud yet in many a case the souvenirs of youth’s happlest_ memories, seemed more than all other things to dely the action of the fire, It seemed, indeed, #2 if the holy bonds of whieh they were the einblem bad made them sacrea as it were and preserved them for the eyes that knew their meaning best. IDENTIPYING THE ARTICLES, This apartment was yesterday the scene ‘of many a gorrowlul incident. Anxtous eyes, suflused with tears, looked down upon each litte trinket, und hag- gard faces turned from the survey with an awful dis- uppointment marked on every lincament. Men and women, who bad again and again traversed the old Market and the Morgue, but to whoin the blackened corpses there presented no famiilar tmark, thronged into this room and examined the relics displayed in it with a dreadful minuteuess that told eloquently of their suffering, But when one of tne articles was recoguized as belonging to some lost friend the scene was still moro painful, Wives geixed tho marriage ring Which tne hand of @ dead busbanu had worn and wept over it, a father picked up the tiny ear- ring he bad made for bis little girl, another found the wateb which Lad been Lis birthday present toa bright and promising son, and a mother sank te the ground, with what anguish no tongue can tell, and preesed to her lips her own portrait which ber boy had carried Such were the scenes which that bare aud dismal room witnessed yesterday. The little boxes, numbered correspondingly with the corpses on ‘which the articles they ¢ontained were found, are still at No, 253 Fulton street, but most of them now are empty. None but friends of the dead were admitted yesterday, and these ouly when pro- vided with passes signed by the Superintendent of Police. PROPERTY IDENTIFIED, Property Clerk William H. Muldoon reports the iden- tification yesterday of the following adn iare Gold watch, oelonging to — Leverich, of No, 85 Identified by his lather, Identyod by Mrs. Bergen street, as the property of Butler street. her busband Mrs. Winchell, of No, 77 Sackett street, who was almost denuded in the rush from the dress circle, re- covered ull property except her bat. ‘The sister of George Stephens, who lived at No, 214 Jay street, identified her brother’s silver watch, Mrs. Henry Doolittle, corner of Clay street and Union place, Greenpoint, whose busband te missing, identified a sliver watch as his property. ‘The father of David Bedtord, of No 142 Hicks street, found at Mr. Muldoon’s office ‘simply the works of a silver watch, which, by the aid of a jeweller who haa repaired it, was identilied as his son's property, The boy’s remains have not been recovered, AT THE CORONER'S DESK, During the afternoon Coroner Simms’ office was still crowded by applicants for permits, and by some peo- ple, too, who were placed tn a pecullarly trying posi- tion. A few of the bodies it appears were identitiod by different persons as relatives of theirs, and the first who made application receiving the permit, made baste to remove them, The result was that when gome of the bodies were claimed they were found to have been taken away. In the case of H, J. McNally, whose body was numbered No. 182.0 number of friends, contident that they recognized the body, procured a permit, but belore its removal other parts claimed to identify it ag Samuel Davis, of Myrtle avenue. Davis’ relatives were summoned but fortunately a ring was discovered ou which was en- graved “H. J. McNally, 191 Prince 81 which prov ented what would have been a horrifying spectacle—a contest by two families for the possession otf the dead, which both believed their own, The body of John W. Jennings Was at Lirst recognized by triends of the miss- img Farrell as bis remains, und its identification bap- pened after the unavoidable siguing of the permit of removal by the Coroner. The possession of the body of Christian Veith gave rise to a curious vontroversy. He was identified at the same time by his brother and his wife, The former hurried off, secured a permit und procured the services of an undertaker, The wite, hearing of this, burried to the Coroner and urged her claim upon the corpse. A curious sceno of wrangling ensued between both relatives, but Coroner Nolan decided thatthe wile, of course, had prior right to the possession of the body, and a permit was ac- cordingly made out for Ler. RAYMOND STREET JAIL. Raymond Street Jail was visited by quite a crowd yesterday, who eagerly oxamined the lists of arrests in hopes of finding some friend in durance whom they felt sure was among the dead. Only onc of the miss- ing was found here, a man named William Corlus, who had been incarcerated under an assumed name. AT THE LONG ISLAND HOSPITAL. At the Long Island College Hospital last night there Temained of the burned and otherwise injured by the theatre tire John Cumberson and Augustitche Froude- veaux, Mr. Lynch, who was unconscious when taken to the hospital, from slight concussion of the brain, having felt sufficiently recovered to demand his re- lease and bo taken home, Resident Surgeon Frank E.

YRSTERDAY’S FUNERALS. The ebsequies yesterday in some of the stricken homes of Brooklyn wero sad and touching. Death had come upon them with destructive eflicacy, and the sorrow which was displayed wy in proportion to the large affliction by which those abodes had been vise ited. Theirs was no gradual bereavement which ox- pectation had mellowed and rendered endarable, buta human affections couid hardly reconcile themselves, The hopes and blossoms of some homes had perished; in others the stay’and sustenance had been removed; tp others again the homestead had been rendered almost tenaptless, Therefore a wide and general grief waited on the sudden tribulation, and the sad ceremo- nies connected with a second sepuitare weut forward ainid expressions of deep sympathy.

Through the forenoon and afternoon of yesterday the municipal authorities having the funerals of the victims in charge bad several meetings, and finally decided that the great funeral should be held to-day at one o’cloek as detailed in the Mayor’s proclamation, which, with the other orders and notices to the pub- cand parties concerned, will bo round beiow, The memorial services willbe held to-morrow (Sunday) Tho officials deserve tho greatest credit tor their un uring eflorts to falflll their duty in relation to the sad calamity. The jolut committee of Aldermen and Supervisors met inthe City Hall at eleven A. M., Alderman Fis! in the chair, Alderman Burnet, chairman of the committee on burials, said that several cases had come before the committee in which the uso of burial plots had been tendered to families in poor circumstances by their friends. He bad a letter from a family in Little street, who were willing to take the body of a decoased friend into their own lot, In all such cases he suggested that the committee should tender tne services uf an under- taker and offer toalcfray the burial expenses. Besides, itmust not be lorgotten that many families desired their relatives to be buried im other cemeteries than Greenwood. In that connection he offered a resolution whose object was to carry the suggestion into opera- tion. Alderman Donovan thought that unaertakers who were already in charge of bodies should be permitted to inter them. To thia Aldermen Frouch and Burnet replied that this was understood. Alderman French said he knew of a case whero a widow living in Saratoga county had lost a son, He des:red to Know i Aluerman Burnet’s resolution in- cluded cases in which the victims Were pot residents, To this Alderman Burnet repited that such was the in- tention uf the resolution, ‘Alderman Murtha, while taking a similar view, apoke also of the necessity fer immediate completion’ of ar- Tangetents with the undertakers, Alderman Dovovaa aliuded to the case of Deush, No. 18S Nelson street, who escaped trom the tire, but died subsequently trom the injuries then received, His wile und family were in exceedingly tndigent cireum- stances, and the speaker desired to Know if measures otavy Kind would be taken to relieve them, Alderman Fisher rephed tat the Mayor was the custodian of the funds, and bad already taken care of this particular case. to the vast expense that would be incurred were sep- arate burials to be granted 1m all cases Where appl tion fur such had been made. A large number oj them had aiready been made, and they would come in crowds, A discriminative power in such cases should ve placed in the Mayor’s hands and he should be au- thorized to decide what bodies were entiled to sep- arate interment. Aldermen Donovan and Guthrie were of opinion that comparatively tow applications Would be made. The nuwoer at present amounted only to twenty. Supervisor byrue thought that the money in the bands of the Mayor should rather be expended for the reliet of the living. The burial expouses could be de- frayed by. the city, Alderman Frencn agreed with Mossrs. Douovan and Guthrie in the idea tbat there was no necessity for alarm that appheations would come in in too great a number, He moved that the subject matter be re- ferred to His Honor the Mayor. Alderman Fisher suggested that the matter be re- ferred to the Mayor aud the sub-committee on burials, Alderman French so modified is motion and the m tor was reierred as suggested, Alderman Sutton, irom the committee on burial wood ana lad made a selection, The plot thus ‘was now being prepared tor the reception of the vodies. Supervisor Harman, from the committee on eagag- ing undertakers, reported that most of the undertakers hud requested that the funeral be not held on Satur- day, as they would not be ready betore Monday. ‘Tho health authorities opposed this delay, however, ant he theretore moved that the commitive be empowered to purchase coffins. Alderman Rowley, from the committes on burials, roported in favor of having the funeral at one o'elock on Saturday. Dr. Otterson and other medical men had suggesied as 4 sanitary precaution that the bodies be interred as soon as possible. He therefore moved that the funeral take place on Saturday, at one o'clock, His motion was carried. Alderman Rowley aiso reported that the committce had sent invitations to clergymen of a.! denomiua- tions to participave in the religious services on Sun- day. Dr. Porter, Dr. Cuyler, Bishop Littiejoha, Dr. Putnam, Dr. Nye, Kev. A. 8. Wallace aud Dr. Scudder had already accepted. Ho added that the commitice would meet at four in the afternoon tn order to con- salt with Dr. Storrs, Ur. Buddington, Dr, Beecher and othor prominent clergymen, tv make arrange- ments for the religious exercises on sunday, ‘This Teport was adopted, Z Un motion of Alderman French the Mayor was ro- quosted to issue a prociamation cailing upon the people to suspend business during the time oceapied by the funeral services on Saturday.
