There was no ocrvic s at the house and the arrangements were of the simples" and quietest kind. The cortege proceeded to the Capitol by way of 14 h street and Pennsylvania avenue. At tho cast front of the capital hundreds of people had con gregated bofore noon and takeu their places. On either sido of the entrauce to t he building. Tho grand s'airway atd rotunda ha been; clearod of even one except the policemen who main tained order. Promptly at noon without music or ostentatious display the first of a line ,of carriages drev up at the curb aad an ucdortakftr With his assistint stepped out bear ing a great wren',hcf white and yel low roses. The Episcopal clergymen Urs. .Leonard, Mott and liodine ac companying Bishop Paret next alight ed and climbed the stairway clad in t'jeir white robes. The body bearers, all messengers of thejSuprerne Court, and the.hearee next drew up and while the casket was being ' withdrawn the Justices of tie Co'.iri, wearing their black silk robes, took their places on the side walk near by Marshal. Tho regents of the Smithsonian Institute andihe j udges of the Court.of Claims and of the $upreme Court of the District of Columbia, the District Commissioner?, members of the di plomatic corpe, officers of the United Stato3 Supreme Court and of the De partment of Justice and many mem bers of the bar of the Supremo Court entered unannounced and were es corted to seats upon the floor. A. fqw1 minutes before noon, Mrs Cleve land, accompanied ) by Mies Bayard, entered the executive gallery of the House, both ladies beinrj appropri ately dressed in black. At five min utes before twelve the President and his cabinet were announced and the hundreds of people who had by this time eecured seats in the hall rose in respectful attention as the distin guished guests were escorted to their seats. Every member of the cabinet was present and with them entered Gen. Sheridan, who was ; clad in full uni form. In a few m'nutes afterwards the Congressional committee entered, followed by the officiating Episcopal clergyman, Bishop Paret, reading "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord," as the casket inclosing the remains of the deceased was borne into the chamber and placed upon the bier. The bearers of the casket were all employees; of the Supreme Court, and behind ; them, attired in their robes of officej came tho honor ary pall bearers, the Justices of the Court. The members of the Con gressional committee wore white sashes fastened at tho shoulder with black and white rosettes. The cas ket, which was rich and magnificent in its simplicity, was tastefully adorn ed with crossed palm branches bound together with a knot of white satin ribbon and with a: floral tribute of yellow roses and white liilies. The impressive burial service of the Epis copal church was then read by Bishop Paret, the music being rendered in aa effective manner by a choir of eighteen voices to organ accompani ment.

Pittbburo, Pa., March 28 - The conference between the Coke Syndi cate and the producers yesterday has resulted in a complete disruption of the syndicate and an open market has been declared. The members of tho Syndicate wanted to advance the price to one dollar and a half per ton, but the producers refused to consent un less they were conceded more advan tageous terms for their product and the meeting broke up without reach ing a settlement. As a result of tho disagreement, sales of coke were made today below $1.25 per ton, and it is claimed that one lot was offered as low as $1.00. A cut in wages is now predicted, and another strike of 10,000 coke workers is probable. Sev eral operators assert that rather than sell coke for $1.00 per ton, ihey will shut down their ovens.

RKRIOrS RAILROAD ACCIDBST ) BCT NO LIVES SO FAR KNO'.VN TJ BE LOST. By Tt lepraph to tb' Now-t aul Observer. Chicago, IU. MarchJ 28. The fast night express pn the Michigan Cen tral Railroad, which left this city at 9 o'clock last night met with a serious accident last night at the crossing a little south of Burnside. A Toledo, Wabash and Western freight train ran into the rear sleeper of the passenger while under full headway. Many of the passengers were injured. 1 Several were seriously hurt, but it . is not known that any were killed. Only a few of the names of those injured are known. The sleeper was derailed and almost en tirely demolished. Several cars on the freight train were telescoped. The engineer ; and fireman on the freight engine leaped just in time to save their lives. There is v. web of intersecting tracks whero the accident occurred. Tho Michigan Central has the right of way at all times, and a neglect of this rule brought about the collision. The gates were down as usual and the Signal light displayed. The ex pre3s train wp; crossing the tracks of the Wabash an d Western when the freight train, tinder a full head of 6team, brok through the gates and crashed into if. The engine struck tho sleeper directly in the middle, nearly cutting it in too, tore it from its couplings and threw it from the tracks. The freight engine was de railo i. Three or four freight cars were telescoped and piled upon it. Meanwhile the passengers who were buried in the wreck of the sleeper were shouting for help. The train men procured lanterns and dragged from the wrecji a dozen passengers. Five of them were severely injured and others badly shaken up. None were fatally hurt. Eight passengers, injured slightly, were put upon the express train which proceeded within an hour after the accident. EXrLOSIO-V CP A BOILER. WITU FATAt RESULTS TO TWO MEN AT LEAST. By Telegraph to the 'ews and Observer. Habtfoed, Conn., March 28. The boiler of a locomotive attached to the early morning passenger train on the New York & New England railroad, due here at 8.15 ttis morning, ex ploded at about 7.30 o'clock near N. Manchester. Half a mile east of the station is a high railroad bridge over the Iiocanum river. As the train ap proached the bridge tho engineer shut off gteam to slow up when, with out warning, tho, boiler burst. The force of the shock was terrific. The locomotive was shattered and the tender thrown from the track. The momentum of the train was sufficient to push the wrecked engine 200 feet. The front platform of the baggage car was demolished, but beyond thai no serioub damage was done to the train. The fireman was killed in stantly and the engineer died before reaching Hartford. No one else was hurt. The engine had been con demned and this was the last day it was to run. Had the explosion oc curred half a minute later the train would have reached the bridge and would havo been thrown off with frightful results.

INVESTIGATING EXAMINER TATE L CHARGE OF THE SMASHED BANK. He Thinks all Creditors Wll he Paid Likr allv if t in Full. THE AM0DNT OF THE DEFALCATION TR0BA BLY NOT EXCEEDING 7.1.000. A BAD SSISH, KIT SOT AS BAD AS GEN ERALLY SITPOSED. All Prlrata Valuable Depontted In the Bank Found to be Safe and Sound and Being Delivered to, the Owners All Mall Received Since the Collapse Laid Adda and Depositee to be Returned to the SendersThe New Directors Will ResistOther Notes and Incidents. Bank Examiner Samuel McD. Tate arrived t yesterday morning on the 6:30 trsin f"0ni the Wost and is stop ping at the Yarboro. He formally took charge of the , bank yesterday morning and has since been busily en gaged in making investigations. Col- Tate is a man of somewhat distinguished appearance and im presses one as a man well calculated to take charge of the business in hand. He has an intelligent and business-like face, is rather slight in physique and appears to be a man of about middle age. Our reporter interviewed Col. Tate about 12 o'clock yesterday and was informed that no developments of a definite nature had yet been ar rived at. TROMPT ACTION. He has taken charge of all mail which has arrived since Monday sight and will examine the same and promptly return all mail of import ance. The deposits of Monday; which have all been, kept to themselves are still held and it was tho desire of the directors to have them returned to the depositors, but the question has not yet been decided and cannot be till something further is known of the affairs of the bank. Col. Tate decided yesterday morning that any who had Erivate valuables deposited in the ank should have the privilege of identifying and claiming their prop erty. The losses of ; THE STATE AND COUNTY are fortunately light. That of the State is estimated at $16,000 and that of the county of Wake at about $10, 000. Among the stockholders who will lose ' heavily are Mrs. J. G. Williams, Capt- E. R. Stamps and Mr. W. S. Primrose. THE CHARTER OF THE BANK. was to have expired June 2nd, having been running 20 yearB, which is the limit, and at that time the will of the late John G. Williams provided that the heirs to the estate should be al lowed to claim their : property. On the suggestion of Mr. Cross, the president of the bank, however, it was understood that the charter should be renewed, ; that the heirs should 'allow their interests to remain in the bank as they were, and that : the banking business should be continued on a more extensive scale than before. In view of this the five additional direc tors were elected a few weeks ago, making the number ten. Mrs. Williams has the deepest sym pathy of the entire community in the crushing calamity which has befallen her. Her misfortune is made the more deplorable by ; the fact of her having been betrayed by her own brother and son-in-law, in whom ,she had implicit trust and confidence. . THK ABSCONDERS. 3 To those who were: personally and liiSntimately acquainted with the de- faultars the news of their treachery proved the severest shock. Mr..C. E. Cross is a native of Gatesville, Gates county, and a, so of Mr. T. E. Cross, one of tho most highly respected and pious citizens of that county. General W. P. Roberts is intimately acquainted wi?h Mr. C. E. Cross and told our reporter yesterday that he regarded him as one of the most hon est, upright and honored men of his county. General Roberts was in strumental in bringing Mr. C. E. Cross Xo this city. ;The latter was for six years ;in the Auditor's office under General Roberts, and during that time there was never known to be the slightest cause for suspi cion of irregularity in any of his dealings. Said General Roberts yesterday: "I regarded him as the very soul of honor and if any man had told me ; forty-eight hours ago that Charley Cross would be guilty of an act of dishonesty I Bhould have knocked him down." Several years ago Mr. Cross was married to Miss Maggie Williams, daughter of Mra. John G. Williams, and two years ; ago he was elected president of the State National Bank. His betrayal of the confidence of his friends and especially; his treachery to his own family are ; source of the most . umeasured . ustonishment and grief. I .Mr. Samuel C. White was one of the best known and h ghly respected citizons of Raleigh. He has for years been one of the most prominent mem bers of Edenton Street Church, and, up to tho t:me of his departure, was a teacher in the Sunday School and Btwiucd to taka much interest in h s class and ;u the Sunday School. He regarded, bs a thorough and con-sc-t'M ou ChrHt:an. H" is a h o her of Mrs. J. G. Williams and has beou connected with the bank for thirty years, during wh-'rh tiaio his record for integrity has b-.-ea perfectly spotless. Many have reiuarked that Sam White was the last man in the city thy would have Eelected as a defaulter. THE LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Our reporter had another interview with Col. Tate late yesterday evening and he spoke; in very encouraging teriue He says that while h con siders the wreck a very bad one, there is nothing like as much mischief done as seems . to be generally nip -Jf, Eosed. He says that, so far as he as been able to ascertain, the extent of the defalcation will not exceed $75,000. The most gratifying intelligence which our re porter received from the bank ex pert, however, was to the effect that he believed that every depositor and creditor of the bank tcotdd be paid pro bably as much as seventy-Jive cents o the dollar. Said Col. Tate : "The affairs are in a bad tangle and it will take time to straighten them out, but it is my firm belief that the bank will eventually be able to pay all its deposifors in full." This is certainly good news, and will be hailed with joy by a num ber of desponding people who sup posed that everything would be lost This intelligence, coming as it does from Col, Tate, has the weight of authority and may safely be credited. Col. Tato stated that he could speak iu no definite terms of the bank, but was confident that the crash had been much exaggerated. Several days will be leccessary to get matters in shape. THE STOCKHOLDERS, A good many inquiries have been made concerning the stockholders, who they were and how much stock they owned respectively. Mr. Cross Otvned stock in the bank to the amount of $30,000 and there is reason to be'ieve that a large block of addition al stock has recently been transferred to him. The other; stock hold ers were, the directors. The five new directors took; stock to the amount of one thousand dollars each on their election: as directors, and owned stock to that amount at the time of the col lapse. Capt. Stamps ownedstock to the amount of four thousand and Mr. Primrese to the amount of one thousand and nearly all the remain der of : the stock was owned by Mrs. John G. Williams. Mr. White's interests in the bank were small. NOTES. Examination was made yesterday and it was found that all private valuables which had been deposited in the bank for safe keeping were untouched. During yesterday several persons who had valuables on deposit visited the bank and on identifying their property were allowed to re move it. Mr. Ri. L. Cheatham, of Franklin ton, who came to this city Tuesday evening to look after $800 which he had sent by mail Monday to be de posited, had his money returned to him yesterday. It would have been hard to find a happier man in town than he when he walked out of the bank with his money in his hand. Our tobacco men report that the collapse has not affected the market in the least, and that the sales have been heavy and prices have kept up well. There was a report yesterday that Mr. White had telegraphed friends in this city of his arrival in Canada. The fact has just come to light that the defaulting officers some time ago made false reports of the condition of the bank, and it is thought that the immediate cause of their leaving was'not for the purpose of stealing alone, but from tne fear that their ir regularities would be detected. There were rumors on the street here lasts night that intelligence had Abeen received over the wires of heavy losses of two Northern banks, one of twhich lost 8100,000 and another $65,- 000 by over-draf ts.and re-hipotheca' ed papers of the State National Bank of this city. The North Carolina Home Insur ance Company loses by the steal $3,900. ; It is thought that a good percentage of this loss will be recov ered, however. Col. Tate stated last evening that the assets of the bank were somewhat disturbed, but the papers did not seem to; be interfered with to any great extent. THE NEW DIRECTORS WILL RESIST. The following notices from the five new directors of the bank recently elected explain tnemselves: 1. Messrs. G. E. Leach.Ed. H. Lee, D. B. Avera, M. T. Norris andTlev. 0. T. Bailey, give notice that they have been induced to become stock holders and directors of this bank by the fraudulent misrepresentations of C. E. Cross, president, and Sam. C. White, cashier, upon which they re lied, the fraud and falsehood of which were not discovered by them until the night of Monday, March 26, 1888, and that they intend to resist any and all liability on their part respectively upon this ground. 2. After the notice above was given, M. T. Norris, C. T. Bailey, D. B. Avera, G. B. Leach, in be half of themselves and Ed. H. Lee, who is absent from the city, but represented here by counsel, aver that at the time they agreed to accept the directorship in the State National Bank, they had no reason to believe that its condition was not good and as represented by its president and cashier, and had no reason to think otherwise till the night of Monday, 26th March, 1888, that their assent having been obtained hy fraud, they are advised that in law it was no assent, and that they have never been directors.

News and Observer. While my sympathy goei out for all who have lost by the recent bank trouble, I think the most pl iable case I know of, is that of Mrs. Gruendler, who keeps a stall in the market house. This poor woman, who has no huB band to aid her, has a group of small children who are dependent upon her lor support, send through her own, personal efforts and exposure to cold and heat and actual self-den :v had laid up in the State National Bank the sum of three hundred dollars, nearly all her earnings for several years. It is hard to realize that such trouble could come upon a poor wo- uiuu in a vyunaiiiau community, striv ing to make an honest living. Now to the point Will not the Nrws abd Observes suggest some one of Our good business men who will allow a list to be left at his place, of business where liberal and charitable citizens may call and leave a subscription for this poor woman, and thereey allevi ate her condition. I would suggest the store of T. Henry Briggs, Jr. And when we have all put in our lit tle mites, let it be deposited in the Savings Bank to her credit. I will give my wages, which I receive for one day's work, and were I not a poor man myself, with a family to support, I would give more Who's next Mechasic.
