Show Tub funeral of the two New York lovers who committed suicide in a sensational sen-sational manner last Thursday was held yesterday, and the account of it closes with the significant sentence: "No religious re-ligious ceremonies were hold." That may go a groat way in explainiug why tho oouple was so rash. When the World's Fair opons Portland, Port-land, O., should reserve space enough for its coroner. He refused to hold an inquest on the body of a citizon because there was no state of facts to warrant it. A coroner who would thus deliberately deliber-ately throw away his fee ought to bo exhibited as an object of curiosity in this country. The bill to rovivo tho grade of liou-tenant-goneral of tho army, which passed the senate last week, is likely to be put through the house this week if a quorum can be had to disposo of tho ponding election contest and proceed to other business. In case this is done tho president will nominate Major-General Major-General Scholield to tho new ollice. |
