l'uiiorttl or Joaoph II. Grooulonf.
The funeral services of Joseph II.
Greenleuf took place at his lute resi
dence on Eld street yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock and was attended by
many sorrowing friends who had long
known the deceased and held him In
high esteem for his fine character and
excellent life. The Rev. Dr. Chapman,
pastor of the First M. E. church, of
which the deceased had been for years
member, officiated and made most
impressive remarks very befitting to
the sad occasion and the death of one
whose long life had been marked by
faithfulness to a high sense., of Chris
tian obligation. There were many eyes
suffused with tears as the eloquent
clergyman spoke of the loss sustained
by the bereaved family and friends.
The speaker offered beautiful words of
consolation in speaking of the Chris
tian's hope of a blessed immortality
beyond this valo of tears and suffer
ing. An opportunity was afforded those
present to take the farewell look at the
face of the sleeper.
The remains were taken away on the
6 o'clock p. m. train for New York for
burial In the family plot at Sauquolt,
New York, where lie the remains of
the parents of the deceased and of his
brothers and slrters. The remains were
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs, Baldwin,
soii-ln-law and daughter of the deceas
ed. A peculiarly sad circumstance In con
nection with the funeral was the criti
cal Illness of the beloved wife of the
deceased and her consequent inability
to be present with the mourning
friends, she being very 111 with a heart
difficulty from which she has had fre
quent attacks in the last few years.
Dr. Baldwin is attending her and a
trained nurse who is familiar with
such cases, and who has been of late

ATTEMTP TO BURN TONTINE.
Incendiary's Third Attempt to Fire the
Hotel Failed.
A third attempt to burn the Tontine
hotel within eleven weeks was frustrat
ed Saturday morning by the vigilance
of the night watchman, John Burton.
About midnight a stranger registered
as Locke In the hotel register, paid his
bill In advance and was assigned to
room 19, on the third floor. Ho was
about five feet eight inches in height,
hazel eyes, hair and mustache, of a
mixture of red and gray, slightly de
formed nose, thin lipe, face inclined to
be thin and thick neck. In speech and
general appearance he gave one the Im
pression that he was of Hebrew extrac
tion. He carried a telescope valise,
which he refused to allow out of his
hands while being shown to his room,
and his actions were so peculiar that
Watchman Burton determined to keep
an eye on him. '
About 5 o'clock he went to take a look
at room 19 and saw Locke descending
from the fourth floor with an armful of
papers. His inquiries elecltlng no sat
isfactory answer, he rushed up to the
fourth floor, where he discovered a fire
in room 9, which was unoccupied. He
at once ave the alarm to Proprietor
White and to the fire department. The
Are department responded promptly,
but the flames had been extinguished
by Proprietor White and Night Clerk
Joseph Poroneau with hand grenades
before the engines arrived.
An investigation by Chief Hubbard
and Fire Marshal Fancher revealed the
fact that cans of turpentine with light
ed candles placed In the top had been
placed beside the wainscoting and the
carpet saturated with turpentine.
When discovered the candles had near
ly burned down to the turpentine. The
damage to walls and carpets amounts
to about $40. During the excitement
the Incendiary escaped through the
open, window of his room. In his flight
he left behind him his valise, a pair c-f
rubbers and a vest. The vest contain
ed some blank bill-heads with the ad
vertisement of J. P. Merigon ' of Hud
son, Mass., upon them. The promts
sory note was signed by Merigon and
payable to R. English.
Sergeant Dennehy left for Hudson,
which is a short distance out of Boston,
Saturday in hopes of apprehending the
incendiary. It is thought that the In
cendiary is the same one who attempt
ed to fire the hotel October 9. He reg
istered then as R. Locke of Newark,

day morning, having cut an artery in
his wrist. Mackey dashed his hand
through a window. It was stated las
night that the Injury was accidental
Mackey, being about to fall, put up his
hand to save himself and smashed a
light of glass.
Fire Marshal Fancher still feels the
effect of the serious wrench which ho
gave his left knea at the Halsted &
Harmount fire Friday. He is on duty,
however, and went to the house of
Frank D. Trowbridge at 230 Church
street Saturday morning about 10
o'clock, where there was a slight fire.
The fire was in the chimney and the
chemical engine put it out. He also re
sponded to the alarm from the Tontine
hotel early in the morning.
TOOK SPAN OF HORSES.
Frank Anderson, a cabinet maker,
who resides in Whitneyville, was ar
rested on Saturday afternoon, charged
with taking a pair of horses belonging
to F. C. Candee, a liveryman on Broad
way, without the permission of the
owner. The horses were hitched to a
hack and were left standing on Orange
street, near Court, Friday night. It is
alleged that Anderson came along, un
hitched the horses and drove to his
home, near the second bridge at Lake
Whitney, where he abandoned the
horses. He is said to have removed the
robes from the hack and carried them
to his home.

to have been held in the evening, was
postponed until next Sunday evening.
An excellent programme has been pre
pared by the committee, which consists
of Mrs. W. J. Mutch. Miss Amelia Sco
bie and Miss Alice Barrett.
A FINE OLD MAN.
Oakville, Dec. 2o. S. B. Everett, in
his eightieth year, goes to his work in
Wells' factory on the Watertown road
every day, walking if he does not catch
a ride. He was never sick a day in his
life, or at least sick enough to employ
a physician. He is always cheery and
pleasant in his intercourse with people,
and to see him on the street one would
not take him to be more than sixty
years old.

A captive bee, striving to escape, has

Animals are often able to bear very
protracted fasting. In the Italian
earthquakes of 1795 two hogs were bur

An eminent naturalist says that every
thread of what we call the spider's web
is made up of about 5,000 separate
fibres. If a pound of this thread were
required it would occupy nearly 28,000
spiders a full year to furnish . It. The
author of this statement does not in
form us how long the thread would be,
but It Is safe to say that It would reach
several times around the world. -Chicago

Love is crowued triumphant
only in tne home
where a DaDy com
pletes the tie
of matrimony.
A childless
marriatre can
't not be a happy
one. It takes
he final tie of
a baby to bind
two souls to
gether in mar
riage for better
or for worse.
Without this
final tie a wedded couple
lack the indissoluble in
terest that makes daily
self-sacnhce not only a
possibility, but a pleasure.
There tne to-day thousands of homes all
over the country that were once childless
and unhappy, but that to-day echo with
the laughter of happy babyhood, as a re
sult of a marvelous medicine, known as
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This is
the greatest of all medicines for women
who sufferer from weakness and disease of
the delicate and important organs that bear
the burdens of maternity. It makes them
healthy, strong, vigorous and elastic. It
makeB them pure and virile. It allays in
flammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain
and tones and builds up the shattered
nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the
expectant period, and makes baby's com
ing easy and almost painless. It insures
the little new-comer's health, and a bounti
ful supply of nourishment. It transforms
weak, sickly, nervous invalids into happy,
healthy mothers. An honest dealer wil
not urge an inferior substitute upon you."
"I am now a happv mother of a fine healthy
baby girl," writes Mrs. F. B. Cannings, of No.
4350 Humphrey Street, St. Louis, Mo. "Feel
that your ' Favorite Prescription ' has done me
more good than anything I have ever taken.
Three months previous to mv confinement I be
gan usiug it. I was onlv in fabor forty-five min
utes. With my first baby I suffered 18 hours
then had to lose him. He was very delicate and
only lived is hours. For two years I suffered un
told agony and had two miscarriages. The
' Favohte Prescription ' saved both my child
and myself."
