DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS AT A FUNERAL.

Burial of the Victim of tho Elliot-streoi Flro.

Onk of tho most extraordinary and dis graceful occurcnces ever witnessed in Auckland happened yesterday afternoon, at the burial of John Henry Holme?, sconic artist, the victim of tbo firo in Elliot-street. Briefly stated, the circum stances that led up to tho affair are as follow :—Some theatrical friontls, including Mr P. Dornn, hearing on Saturday after noon that the lx?dy would be giver a pauper's burial, decided to make a collec tion to defray tho cost of a decent funeral. Mr Doran saw Mr Leaning, undertaker, and having informed ht"u of their intention, asked what would bo tho cost. Mr Inning, who had known Holn.es, said he intended to bury tho body himself; but it was eventually decided that the subscrip tion should bo raised 50 that Leaning should not havo to bear the whole cost. Doran collected about £1, and handed tho list ovor to Mr Mackinlay, with whom Holmes had resided, and he (Mr Mackinlay) oollootod a sufficient amount to defray tho whole cost of the funeral, tho principal sub scribers being members of tho Freethought Association. According to one statement It was arranged that tho deceased should have Christian burial, but this is denied by Mackinlay and others, two members of tho EYeethought Association having on Satur day afternoon made arrangements that Dr York, ft Freethought leoturer,(orMr Ellis, a member of the Psychological Association ghotild deliver a secular oration at the grave. On Sunday afternoon, shortly after 2 o'clock, an hour bofoie the timo fixed for the funeral) the Rev. Mr Tobbs was re quested by Mr Orlando Mozzole'ii to eouduct the burial service, and Mr Tebbs proceeded to tho general cemetery, Syraonds-streot, with that intention. A disgraceful scone ocourod hore. The Froethoughtmournors objected to Mr Tobbs presence, but that gentleman maintaining that tho deceased was a member of the Church of England, and that there was no proof that he had abjured that faith, said he was determined to give the deceased Christian burial. The Freethinkers, on the other hand, maintained that Holmes had always been a Freethinker. While the wrangle was proceeding, the body was left in the hoarse fully 20 minute?, and when it was conveyed to tho grave, 'and the reverend gentleman commenced the burial servico, he was interrupted by interjections such as "Shut up," " You'll be persecuted for this," " Cut it short," "Bosh," &c Two members of the Free thought Association stood at the head of the grave, and so prevonted Mr Tebbs from taking that position. Mr Tobbs, howover, proceeded to read the burial service, stand ing at the foot of the grave, despite many interruptions. When ho came to the words "Ashes to nahes" Mr Mackinlay, who had been standing at the head of tho grave, said hotly, " We've had enough of that bosh. He was silenced by loud cric3 of "Shame I" from the largo crowd, which by tills time had collected. Mr Tebbs having concluded the service the sexton proceeded to Oil up the grove, when the Freethinkers Invited Mr Ellis to proceed with his oration. That gentleman, however, being actuated by a desire to prevent further indecency, declined, and the crowd soon dispersed. A reporter from thi3 office interviewed the principal persons engaged, and found that while there is a general agreement on the main facts, as briefly narrated, there i i a dispute as to the religious belief of the deceased, and the circumstances attending the arrangements for his funeral. Mr Mac kinlay, sign writer, of Elliott street, says he had known the deceased 3 or 4 yoars, and for the past 15 or IS months he had allowed him the use of a room over his workshop without payment. He was a decided and thorough Freethinker. He did not think he ever was an Episcopalian. His father was a Roman Catholic, but died an atheist. The deceased married a Catho lic, but he allowed his children to be baptised in that faith. On Saturday he arranged with Mr Loaning that ho would make a collection among his friends, the Freethinkers, todefraythooxpensesof burial. He deputed Mr Boss and Mr Martin, two Freethinkers, to see Dr. York to arrange with him for the service at the grave. These gentlemen subsequently informed me that they had made arrangements that Mr Ellis, a member of the Psychological Society would conduct the service, and if he was unable to get away, Dr. York would do so. We told Mr Learning of this, and he made no demur, and nothing was said about Mr Tebbs being requested to attend the funeral. We as Free-Thinkers thought that Mr Tebbs's presence in Ids sacer dotal capacity was an outrage, and the re marks we made duringtheservice were inten ded as protests against his action. We have a right to bury our dead in our own way, and a church of England clergyman has no right to interfere- Mr Ellis having loft the grave we were in a dilemma, but if* 1 had had a secular sermon with me, I s'ould hare read it

Mr Orlando Mazzolini states that on Saturday evening, hearing that Mr Holmes was to be buried with a service by Dr. York, a Freethinker, and knowing woll that de ceased belonged to the Church of England, besides being a Freemason, he had a conver sation with Mr McGowan on the subject. Weagreedtbatit wouldbeproper tohivejhim buried according to the rites of the Church, and.l undertook to arrange the matter. I-'MW Mr Tebbs, who received me most kindly: and after hearing my statement, said, he would be glad to officiate; but as he bad a christening at tbroe o'clock (the hour fixed for the funeral), he asked me to get tbe departure of tbe proceesion delayed By a quarter of an hour, when he would be on the ground in good time. Returning to Mr Leaning, I arranged with him about the hour of leaving. I went with the funeral procession, and at the gate of the cemetery found Rev. Tebbs, in his surplice, ready to commence the ceremony. SomeFreethinkew who were in the procession began to object— Messrs McKinlay and Ross being the moat prominent. The altercation was animated, and at Jtiinos' heated ; indeed there was danger at times of blows being resorted to, which would have resulted in a die graceful riot. However, I did my very best to control my own feelings, as well as. those of some excitable-friends. The statement cf Mr George H. Leaning, funeral undertaker, was to the effect that ha had resolved that deceased should have a decent burial. On Saturday forenoon, I saw Mr McKinlay, the owner of the house m which deceased lived, and told him of this intention, and also said that a clergy man should be got to perform the funeral ceremony. Mr McKinlay offered no objection at tha k time, but in the evening he called with Mr Ross and others, and said ha had arranged that deceased should be bnried in accordance with Freethinking wage. He (Mr Leaning) then said he was wilhng'to arrange for having Roy. Mr Hill, but if they took the matter out of his nanda he would take no furthor stops with regard to getting a clergyman. Beforethe procession started, Mr Ellis, (referring to a large bouquet of flowers on the coffin of deceased) asked if he could have them, as it was customary at Free thought funerals to scatter flowers on the grave. _ He (Mr Leaning) said he must be labouring under a mistake, as this was not "> be aFreethought but a Christian funeral —Rev. Mr Tebbs being engaged to con duct the service. The flowers had been got by his children for the coffin. The scene at the cemetery gate was a disgraceful one. He heard the word Liar ("shouted in a loud voice by some one in tin crowd. Hot words were used in argument, but the only approach to violence that he observed was in tho case of an elderly lady, who seized a man by tho collar. She said she was. an atheist, but he could not say whether she wa3 so or not. me Rev. Mr Tebbs through all preserved ™ coolness, and performed the ceremony Without a falter-earning the thanks and comtnendations of a number of gentlemen ot different denominations. Mr Tebbs who was also seen by our re- Porter says that the stand he took was this i ~hAv was led t0 beliove that Hotaeß «? nu a m6mDer of the communion of I_?j urch of England, and there being no fjMenoe that he had abjured his faith, he vr'Tebb'sJfeltbound to conducttheservice. 5 j 8 waa l°ware fof tbo fact that we deceased had been educated at Harrow, wnicn is pretty conclusive proof that he was 8. member of the Church ',at England. ~ MrP, Doran, who initiated the subscrip «on to defray the deceased's burial expense, ™yj that when he saw Mr Mackinlay wat gentleman had no objection to tbe soi ♦kVS,o' a "'iuiirtor beinp procured, but fttttlMloMStron-Iyobfsctk

Fonaonby Licensing Ward,

(To the Editor.)

Sin, —The marked improvement that has taken place in Ponsonby since the election of our present local Licensing Committee, and tho closing of tho public-houses at ion o'clock in tho evening, as well as the total cessation of Sabbath traffic in liquor, U certainly a mattoi of congratulation to every right-minded person nmongat us. It is, indeed, a species of reformation that was imporntivoly needed, and tho ratepayers do servo honrtfolt thanks for the choico they had mado in their representatives at the Licensing Bench, who havo strictly adhorei to tho stipulations of tho platform upon which they wero oloeted. It may also bo stated that tho holders of tho licenses in our ward have boon consistent in complying with the law Binco tho restrictions havo been impo3ed upon thorn, thus conducting their hoiuas well. As tho licensing election for the onsuing year is now at hand, and as tJie present Committee are, it is under stood, willing to bo be placed in nomination for re election, tho ratepayers should un hesitatingly roturn thorn for another term, seeing that they are all men in whose in tegrity and uprightness the people of Pon- Bonby havo full confidence.—Yours, <&0., A Ratepayer.

The City Dust and Nightsoil Contract.

(To the Editor )

Sir,—l see by the report of the City Council in Friday night's Star that, they are about to take a retrograle step in connection with the rubbish nuisance. Both ths collection of rubbish and nightsoil badly wants re organising. The way they mismanage the collection of nightsoil is worthy of a colonial town of two or three years' growth instead of the leading city of the colony. Consider ing how closely the town is built, it is a wonder to me it has kspt bo free from fever. The first thing the Council ought to see set right is the thorough cleansing of closets, the removal of rubbish, and that every house has a good supply of pure water. In regard to the first the system eoeraa to be anyhow. The greater number of closets are supplied with wooden boxes which, if emptied every day, are bad enough to breed a fever, for the wood being porous retains the most evil part ; and then, on account of the meanness of some people, they do not got emptied once a month, and then very often in a email back-yard. I would recommend that a rate be struck co that every house should bo visited at least onco a week by the ni^ht-man, and that every closet have an iron pan (galvanised or japanned) of a regulated pattern. It could be done for vory little more cost than the present Bystom, for at present tho night-man calls at ono house, and then passes several, tho cart having to go tho same dut ince as calling at all the houses on tho road. Tho same applies in the removal of rubbish. In Christchurch tho rate is 'id in the £ for removal of nightsoil once a week, and in aomo parts of the town twico a week. In regard to water sorvice,it is all very well to say people can havo it by pay ing, but considering that half the popula tion of the town aro tenants, they must bo satisfied with what they can get; there fore it is the Council's duty, for the health of the whole community,to see that all the inhabitants are in a position to keep in health. To accomplish this the Council must enforce cleanliness and the uso of plenty of fresh water. With tho warm humid atmosphere of this city, it is surpris ing that we have been so free from fever, etc., but as the town increases in size, so the danger becomes greater,—Yours, etc., Pro Boxb Pmstico. ,

At a meeting of the Chamber of Com merce to-day, the Mayor presiding, it was decided to requisition Sir Julius Vogel to address a public meeting in Auckland. Wo hear that fish were very plentiful last Saturday in the harbour and surrounding waters. Several catches of 40 and 50 are reported, while an exceptionally fine haul of 86 schnapper and kawai was secured by a small party of North Shore ladies and gentlemen in the short space of two hours, in the channel opposite Lake Takapuna.

At the annual meeting of tho congregation of St. Peter's Church, Ocehunga, held on Friday evening last—Bey. W. E. Mulgan presiding—it was stated that the income for the past year, including £21 5s 9d special offertories for Home and Melanesian Missions and Pension Funds, amounted to £275, which had been all expended, leaving a small liability of about £10 over the avail able assets, The churchwardens and vestry wero re-appointed ; and a short and in formal discuseion took place as to tho ad visability of making all tho sittings free. It was resolved to urge the Borough Council to lose no time in providing a public cemetory, as the Church of England bury ing-place was already over-crowded. At the Opera Houss last night, Dr. York delivered a lecture on " Individuality, Love and Marriage." The audience was tho largest that ne has yet addressed here, and and the lecture'waa both instructive and en tertaining. The lecture was a lengthy one, lasting till nearly 10 o'efock, but the in terest of the audience was sustained throughout, and at its conclusion Dr. York was greeted with hearty applause. Wm. Goorge Garrard has been quiescent fbr some time, but ho is once more on the warpath with a fresh grievance. This time it is tho Crimean Veterans Association that has jarred the popular rights champion. Mr Garrard states that having been through the Crimean campaign on one of Her Majesty's warships, he conceived himself entitled to bo enrolled among the "veterans," and accordingly on Friday night last he presented himself and tendered his subscription ; but was astounded by being refused admission to the charmed cir jle. He alleges that a number of other old Crimean warriors are kept out of the Society for no good reason, and he has pro pared a letter to His Excellency the Gover nor, who is its President, setting forth the circumstances, and praying for a full and searching inquiry.
