Rich and Poor Meet The congregation that gathered at the cathedral was representative of all classes, rich and poor, prominent and obscure be- ing present in respect to the departed vicar of the Catholic church. The Interior of the eathedral presented a solemn aspect. Drapings of black ap- peared around the galleries and behind the sanctuary. The altars were devoid of ornaments, the only glimpse of color be- ing from the massive brass candlesticks, which were hung with crape. The candles on the main altar were lighted, while those on the side altars were not, the un- ) lighted candies being emblematic of grief. of interest to those who | I to its capacity.

Coadjutor Arch- bishop Montgomery was the celébrant. He was assisted by Vicar General Prender- gast and Father Hannigan. The musical portion of the service was vndoubtedly the finest ever heard in a place of worship in this city. The regu- | 1ar choir was enlarged and assisted by an auxillary choir and an orchestra, the whole being under the direction of Or- ganist Robert J. Harrison. Tall Candles Flare. The close of the requiem mass was in- toned amid the flaring of tall candles held aloft in crape-shrouded candlesticks by ajtar boys, while the smoke of incense ‘was wafted through the cathedral. During. the offertory the organist softly played Beethoven's ‘*‘Funeral March,” which filled the edifice with - beautiful, solemn strains. After the benediction had been given the officiating clergy retired from the sanctuary and the vast audience departed . from the shrouded interior of the cathedral to the bright sunlight of the streets.

Father Ramm at St. Mary's Cathedral at the pontifical re- quiem mass yesterday morning was as follows: “Although we are gathered together with the whole Catholic church in our last act of public homage and prayer at the tomb of the dead Pope, yet our mourning is tempered with a feeling of deep gratitude and spiritual joy—grati- tude to God who has given us so great a Pontiff, a scholar so eminent, a ruler so wise, a guide so spiritual and apostolic, and joy that his wonderful life has ac- complished that for which God gave it. We feel ‘that we can almost hear his Master say to him: ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." “A first feeling which comes to us in contemplating the finished life of Leo XIII is that God’s ways are not man's ways. Leo was already on the very limit of the traditional three-score and r.” Bournizeau and Mr. von OME, July 26.—Several thou- sand of the faithful crowded St. Peter's to-day to pay their tribute before the sar- cophagus containing the re- mains of the late Pontiff, on which is the following simple scription in gilded letters: “Leo XIII Pont Max." Meanwhile requiem masses continued in the chapel of the Sacrament, as well as in many other Roman churches. The will of Leo XIIT was read to-day. While nominally leaving the estate of Caripento to his nephew, Ludavico Pecct, it really makes no change, as the whole family property had been divided among the three nephews, Count Camillo having already. sold his share. The congregation again to-day made further progress with the arrangements for the conclave. Cardinal Gibbons ar- rived to-day, but did not attend the meet- ing. A wall is being built around the apart- ments where the conclave will be held. It'is already ten feet high. Some of the Italian bookmakers here proposed to con- duct public betting on the chances of the papal candidates and in order to obtain permission to do so offered to donate their gains to charitable institutions. The Gov- ernment, however, promptly refused the request. @ simiviiimiinieieie il @ ten years which are allotted to man when his providential life began; and when other men of his years are surely descending into the shadows of the val- ley, he, with resolute will and amazing energy, was steadily climbing to that sol- itary ‘summit on which at length he died.

Many miners were in the Great unrest and a threatening attitude were reported load ne- the in a H. shot Arrangements crowd. from Westvale, five miles away. Early :n the morning Wilson, the al- leged megro a iflant of Mrs. Burge was secretly tak from the county jaui, but was returned shortly afterward Four companies of militia arrived at 93 o'clock this morning from Spring- fleld. Companies A, I, B and H of the enth Illinois Infantry were sent in re- ply to urgent requests sent at midnight to State officials. The troops marched to the market house, opposite the jail, and camped. Streets were cleared and the crowds disappeared. Sullen threats were heard, but no attempt at an outbreak was made during the day. To-night 100 sentinels are pa- trolling the streets in the immediate vicinity of the jail. Each soldier carries forty rounds of ammunition. SHERIFF TELLS OF BATTLE. Sheriff Whitlock said to-day, in giving his version of the shooting into the mob: “After I saw from the jail that the mob was determined to attack I went to the veranda and attempted to talk to the maddened men. As I stepped into view of the crowd two bullets were fired, one striking the wall back of me. I fired two shots into the air. Some one shouted that I was only bluffing and was shooting blanks. I warned the mob that I would resist an attack on the jail with powder and lead. There was another shot from the mob and it surged forward. I then fired a shot from my shotgun into their legs. This drove them back, but they re- turned a moment later to the attack of the front door. “] was alarmed for the safety of my wife and children. My wife took a gun and sald she would stand by me. I got her and the children out of the way, and then as the leaders were coming with the rail to batter down the walls I shot along the rail to make them drop it. This ac- counts for so many being shot in the hands and arms. I fired eight or ten shots in all.” Sheriff Whitlock had four deputies and three constables with him in the jail guarding the prisoners. He says no one fired into the mob but himself. A strange situation is noticeable, but the 200 soldlers here, it is belleved, will prevent further outbreaks, for the pres- ent at least. Half of these will be on duty all the time. The feeling against the soldiers is no- ticeable. The commissary department to- day had much trouble in getting restau- rents to serve meals. Many refused to feed the soldiers. Crowds gathered dur- ing the day near the lines and cursed the soldiers. They were scattered with bayo- nets. Several other companies of the regiment are under arms at Springfield awaiting orders. Officers of the guard do not expect any attack, howeves
