The News and Obser, _r. VOL. XXXVIII. NO. 109. TTKIE QJMKffiEST ®F AMY R3OIOT (MIMDILDNIA [MOOT. WITH MILITARY HONOR SECRETARY OF STATE ORES HAM WILL RECEIVE A SOL DIER’S BURIAL. TO BE INTERREO AT CHICAGO. Funeral Services Will be Held at ihe W hite House To-day—The President and all his Cabinet, Except Mr. Car lisle Will be Present—Diplomatic Corps, and Supreme Court Justices Will Attend in a Body—All the Exec utive Departments Ordered Closed. Washington, D. C., May 28.— Walter Quinton Gresham will receive a soldier's burial. Except John A. Logan, of Illi nois, no other man not of the regular army has ever before been honored by the ordering of United State troops to attend his funeral. The preliminary services will take place in the East room of the White House, which has witnessed some memorable obsequies, the last being those of President Harrison’s wife, but which has never before been the scene of funeral services over a cabinet official. There will further be this dis tinctive feature in to-morrow's sad cere monies, that the draperies and other ac cessories will be entirely military in character. The Hag which General Gresham loved so well, for which he fought so bravely, and in whose defence he was so grievously wounded, will be the chief emblem of mourning around his funeral casket. Bishop Hurst, of the M. E. Church, will conduct the services. He was a warm, personal friend of the dead Secretary, who himself was brought up in the Methodist faith, his father and mother belonging to that denomination. AL the cabinet will be present except Secretary Carlisle, who will join the fun eral cortege en route to Chicago, where it has been finally determined that the interment shall take place. Secretary Hoke Smith, the only other absentee of the President’s official family, returned this morning. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador, as Dean of the Diplo matic Corps, this evening convened a meeting of the members of the Diplomatic Corps at his Embassy and they, after adopting resolutions of sympathy on the occasion of the grievous loss which the government of the Umied States has sustained, deter mined to attend the funeral services in a body. Similar action was also had by the Justices of the Supreme Court. All the executive departments have been or dered closed by an executive order. Tnis action, with decoration day, a legal hol iday, so closely following, will practi cally shut off public business for the balance of the week. The callers to-day at the Arlington annex, where the remains of the dead Secretary will remain unremoved to the White House until to morrow, included all the foreign ambassadors and minis ters, the cabinet officers, the Judges of the Supreme Court and most of the other distinguished residents of the city, Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland being among the earliest visitors. The Gresham apartments are in that part of the Arlington known as the Summer house, a building formerly oc 1 cupied as a private residence by Charles Sumner, which faces Lafayette Bquare, one of the most beautiful public parks in Washington. Half a block away workmen were busy erecting a theatre on the sight of the bouse where James G. Blaine died not more than two years ago. Shortly after half past ten o’clock the President and Mrs. Cleveland reached the White House from Woodley. In his private office Mr. Cleveland found Secretary Lamont and Secretary Morton waiting for him. No other Cabinet offi cers were present. It had been arranged that the President and the members of the Cabinet should see Mrs. Gresham at 11 o'clock to make arrangements for the funeral. The regular Tuesday’s meeting which was set for that hour was there fore postponed, and at 40:45 Mr. and Mrs Cleveland were driven over to the Arlington, which is almost opposite the White House. The President was dressed in black clothes and wore a silk hat. He wore a long, close-fitting, black over coat which contributed to his appearance of mourning. Mr. Cleveland did not look in good health, but showed signs of the severe bilious attack from which he has been recently suffering. Secretary Lamont had reached the hotel from the White House just prior to the arrival of the President. He and Mrs lamont had been constantly in at tendance on Mrs. Gresham and had done much by their sympathy and active as sistance to relieve her sorrow. They re mained at the Arlington long after Mr. Gresham had passed away and were there again at 9 o’clock this morning. Secre tary Lamont assumed a large part of the work necessary to perfect arrangements for the funeral, and made several of the suggestions which were subsequently adopted. During the morning many dis tinguished persons called at the Arling ton and left their cards. Chief Justice Fuller was one of the first to api>ear. Attorney General Olney came just before the President and remained some time. After a stay of three-quarters of an hour at the Arlington, the President and Mrs. Cleveland returned to the White House. Mr. Cleveland had tendered, and Mrs. Gresham had accepted, the use of the spacious East room for the fune ral services, and the details of the funeral arrangements were left to the cabinet, which assembled at noon in its regular meeting room. All the members of the cabinet were present with the exception of Mr. Car lisle. Acting Secretary Uhl represented the State Department. The President’s Proclamation. The President this afternoon issued the following proclamation: “By the President of the United States: “Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of State, of the United States, is dead. “The President, in making this distress ing announcement to his fellow coun trymen, speaks from the depths of a personal affliction to remind them that they have lost a pure and able public servant, a wise, patriotic guardian of all their rights and interests, a manly and loyal American, and a generous and lovable man. “As a suitable expression of National bereavement I direct that the Diplomatic representatives of the United States in all foreign countries display the flags over their Embassies and Legations at half-mast for ten days; that for a Uke period the flag of the United States be displayed at half-mast at all forts and military posts, and at all naval stations and on all vessels of the United States. “I further order that on the day of the funeral the Executive Departments in the city of Washington be closed and that on all public buildings throughout the United States the national fiag be displayed at half mast. (Signed) “Grover Cleveland. “By the President: “Edwin F. Uhl, acting Secretary of State. Done at the city of Washington on this 28th day of May, 1895.” The Funeral Procession. At the conclusion of the services at the Executive Mansion the funeral escort under command of Major General Thomas H. Huger, U. S. A., will move in the following order from the Execu tive Mansion to the B. & 0. depot. Military escort. Clergy and physicians who attended the deceased. Pall bearers and hearse. Relatives of the deceased. Places will be reserved for : The President aLd heads ot depart ments. Members of the Senate and House of Representatives. Justices of i he Supreme Court. The Diplomatic Corps. Troops of the escort will assemble at 9 o’clock a. m. on Pennsylvania Avenue, in front of the Executive Mansion. Route of the procession will be Penn sylvania Avenue to the Railroad depot. The military escort will consist of all the regular troops in and about Wash ington, namely, five troops of the Sixth Cavalry from Fort Myers, under Colonel Gordon; four batteries of the fourth and one of the third artillery from Washing ton barracks, under Col. R. W. Closson; fourth artillery and the batallion of ma rines from the marine barracks and navy yard under command of Col. Hey wood The escort will be under the command of Major General Ruger, U. 8. A. The President and the members of the cabinet will accompany the remains to Chicago where the train will arrive some time on Thursday afternoon. The Presi dent and cabinet will consequently not be able to take part in any ot the deco ration day ceremonies in Washington on the 30th instant. Honorary Pall-Bearers. The honorary pall bearers will be Sec retary Lamont, Attorney-General Olney, Secretary Smith, Postmaster-General Wilson, Secretary Herbert, Secretary Morton, Acting Secretary Uhl, repre senting the State Department, and Act ing Secretary Hamlin, representing Sec retary Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle will join the funeral party on route. All these will accompany the remains to Chicago, with the possible exception of Mr. Ham lin, whose place will be taken by Mr. Carlisle. The decorations of the East Room for the funeral services there to morrow are most elaborate, and exceed in beauty and impressiveness the attempts made on similar occasions. To carry out the intention to make the occasion purely military, the American fiag is predomi nant in the decorative display. Wherever the eye wanders the stars and stripes are seen. Each of the four great saloon mirrors is half hidden by a large flag, and every window is curtai ed by hang ings composed of the National standard, twenty feet long. These form the back ground for an effective display of grow ing plants and cut flowers. Great spreading palms branch out from every window and are surrounded by potted oleanders and other greenery. White and gold flower pots holding smaller palms and innumerable va rieties of evergreen, are banked on the mantels and beneath them, and cut flowers are interspersed here and there, while wreaths of smilax entwine mirrors and windows and door ways. The effectiveness of the arrange ment will be greatly enhanced by the glow of electric lights, rendered soft through hemispheres of thick glass of a pinkish hue NewsofHis Death in London. London, May 28.- In consequence of the death of Secretary Gresham the re ceptions which were to have been given by Ambassador Bayard and Secretary Roosevelt have been cancelled. The flags over the United States Em bassy and Mr. Bayard's residence are fly ing at half mast. Upon being apprised of the death of Secretary of State Gresham, Lord Kim berly, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, sent a telegram to Sir Juliau Pauncefote, British Ambassador to Washington, instructing him to express to President Cleveland the dire sym pathy of her Majesty’s government as well as the sympathy of himself per sonally. RALEIGH, N. C.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1895. A MOB TURNS HANGMAN A CONDEMNED NEGRO LYNCHED BY TWENTY DETERMINED WHITE CAPS. THEY FEARED A COMMUTATION. The Ground lor This Apprehension Whs Repeated Visits of Specialists to Inquire Into the Prisoner’s Sanity-- A Placard Pinned to the Body Set Forth Reasons for the Lynching— The Jail Door Battered Down With Sledges—Hanged to a Tree. Baltimore, Md., May 28.—Jacob Hen son, the young colored man who was re cently tried and convicted in the Howard county court, and sentenced to be hang ed on June 16, was taken from the Elli eott jail early this morning and hanged to a limb of a dogwoed tree. The lynching was the work of about 20 determined men, who thus avenged the murder of Daniel F. Shea, which was one of the most brutal crimes ever com mitted in Howard county. The lynchers feared that the Governor of Maryland might be induced to interfere and com mute the man s sentence to life impris onment. The grounds for this apprehension came from the recent repeated visits to the jail of specialists in mental diseases to inquire into Henson’s sanity and the reported intention of Gov. Brown him self to go out there for the same pur pose. The belief had been growing that Henson's sentence might be commuted and he be spirited away to the Balti more penitentiary. The effect of this belief was found in a placard which was left pinned to the dress of the negro on which was written: “We respect our court and judges. Governor Brown has forced the law-abiding citizens to carry out the verdict of the jury. (Signed) White Caps.” Shortly after mid night when the city was wrapped in slumber, masked men began to assemble by twos and threes and soon surrounded the jail. The jailor was then aroused with the statement, “We have come for Henson.” Admit tanee was refused, but the outer door was quickly battered down with iron sledges. The noise did not arouse the prisoner in his cell, ncr was he awaken ed until the lock on his door gave way under the blows of the sledge hammer. As the lynchers rushed in he shrieked for mercy. It was useless. A rope was thrown over the negro’s head, and more dead than alive from fright, he was dragged from the cell. He al ternately prayed and cursed as he was dragged down the jail steps. Warden Lilly was out of town but his family begged the lynchers not to hang the culprit in the jail yard. He was bound and gagged, taken to Merrick’s Lane, the rope was thrown over the limb of a dogwood tree, there was a final shriek, ending in a ghastly rattle, and the tragedy was over. Mr. Shea was murdered for his money in his little Ellicott city store on the night of Tuesday February 19. Henson was in his employ and bad been treated with great kindness. He confessed and his conviction took place at the March term of court. He confessed to having struck his victim with a hatchet and then hacked the head of Mr. Shea as he lay in the corner. Twenty-five distinct gashes were counted when the murdered mau was prepared for burial. FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO. The Republicans Nominated Bushnell Lust night on the Sixth Ballot. Zanesville, Ohio, May 28.- With cheers for McKinley and Foraker, and an ovation for John Sherman that brought a suspicious moisture into the eyes of that venerable statesman, the Re publican State Convention inaugurated its business this afternoon. It was one of the largest conventions that has ever responded to the call of the party mana gers. Five thousand people were packed in Memorial Hall, when the doors were closed on a crowd that would in itself have made a respectable assemblage. Senator Sherman spoke with consid erable energy, and his references to the currency question were loudly applauded. Warm greetings were also given to his naming of McKinley as Ohio’s Presiden tial candidate and Foraker as her next Senator. A night session was agreed upon, the usual committees were appointed, and the convention took recess until 8 p. m. The convention re assembled promptly. Nominations for Governor were i: order at 8:20 and speeches were limited to five minutes with no seconds. J. W. Barger, Pike county; ex Speaker Joseph Warren Keifer, of Springfield; James H.

OXFORD FEMALE SEMINARY. Its Annual Commencement exercises Closed Last Night. Special to the News and Observer. Oxford, N. C., May 28. The Oxford Female Seminary com mencement was inaugurated on Sunday last, with the sermon before the gradu ating class by Rev. O. A. G. Thomas, of Greensboro. He took for his subject “Glorying in the Cross of Christ,” and treated it in an able and interesting manner. In the evening the sermon be fore the Maggie Nutt Missionary Society was preached by Rev. J. A. Munday, D. D., of Wilson, from the text, “He that hath the Son, hath Life.” The treatment of the subject was profound and masterly.

On Monday evening a cantata entitled “The Song of the Spheres” was presented by the young ladies of the Caliopean Society. This cantata was written by an accomplished lady of this town, and one formerly connected with the seminary. There were beautiful songs, beautiful tableaus, and of course beautiful girls, and the effect usual to such conditions was produced upon the audience. The graduating exercises took place this morning, and were of a most pleas ing character. President Hobgood’s report showed the seminary to be in a very flourishing condition, the increase of boarding stud ents over the number of last year, being thirty-five per cent. The annual concert gave evidence of the most thorough training and skill on the part of the director, a graduate of Leipsic Conservatory.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY A MOTHER KILLS HER DAUGH TER AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE. THROATS CUT WITH A RAZOR. The Mother Had Brooded Over Her Husband’s Death Until She Had Be come Insane—She had Gone With Her Victim to Visit an Elder Daugh ter— Botn Bodies Found tn the Same Room—The Young Girl Fought Desperately lor Her Lite. Baltimore, Md., May 28.—Lying in the second story front room of 1713 Asquith street this afternoon were found the bodies of Marion G. Curtain, aged 49, and her 18 year-old daughter, Mat tie. In the hands of the mother was a razor, fresh with the life blood of both. The elder woman had killed her daugh ter and committed suicide with the same instrument. Mrs. Curtain and her daughter lived at 1,600 North Bond street. To-day they visited Mrs. Emma King, the elder daughter of the murderess, and in her absence from the house the shocking tragedy was committed. Upon her re turn from an errand that had occupied only a few minutes Mrs. King found her mother and sister stretched on the floor, while the compartment resembled a slaughter house. Blood was everywhere. The ghastly discovery drove Mrs. King into the street shrieking with fright ana horror. A crowd soon gathered and physicians were hurriedly summoned. It was then discovered that mother and daughter were growing cold in death. The neck of the girl Mamie was slashed from ear to ear. Several other deep gashes were found on her neck. The condition of the room, with its overturned furniture and blood stains, indicated that the girl had fought hard for her life. It is supposed that Mrs. Curtain cut her own throat immediately after she murdered her child. The girl was lying on the floor with her hands at her throat, and with every indication of having died in fearful agony. Mrs. Cur tain’s bead was resting against the leg of a bed. One vigorous slash of the razor had been sufficient to put an end to her life. Her face wore its customary look of sadness. Mrs. Curtain’s husband, who was a saloon keeper on Central Avenue, died about three years ago, and she bad brooded over his death ever since. On several occasions she had threatened to do herself harm, and her relatives were contemplating placing her in an asylum to be treated for insanity. DEBS MUST GO BACK TO JAIL.
