The Last Sad Bittes Performed Over
John Sheedy's Body.
The funeral of John Sheedy, the victim of some unknown man's vengeance, took place at 10 o'clock this morning from the late residence, Twelfth and P streets. One hundred and fifty members form the five lodges of Knights of Pythias, to which order deceased belonged, attended in a body to the grave. There were no funeral services held at the house or the grave. A large number of friends of the deceased paid their last respects.
The coroner's jury is presumably still at work on the inquestt, but the iron cladoath imposed upon the members and witnesses prevents their divulging anything of any moment.
The intimate friends of Mr. Sheedy are confident that the murderer will be caught, and it is thought that rewards aggregating $ 1,000 will be offered soon.
There are one or two clues being worked that are considered very plausible, and
from what inside knowlege of the case the NEWS possesses at present, it believes that something is liable to drop in the near future.
The NEWS was in error yesterday in stating that Dennis Sheedy was opposed to the holding of an inquest over his dead brother. As a matter of fact he authorized the employment of a stenographer, but did not wish to hear the inquest. This morning's session developed nothing particularly new.
---------------
Got the Room.
When governor Boyd yesterday sent a request to the board of public lands and buildings for additional office room, the board met but did not agree on its course of action. The governor's communication was construed as a counteous demand for the quarters occupied by Governor Thayer, but the members of the board were not of one mind about ousting the occupant by summary proceeding. Another meeting was held in the afternoon and the first decisivve step toward Governor Thayer's removal was taken by adopting a resolution reclting that Governor Boyd had repersented his present quarters as altoghter inadeguate to the business of his office, wherefore the board directs that there shall be attached to the executive department the rooms formerly occupied by Governor Thayer as an executive office.
Governor Thayer this morning after the action of the board of public land and buildings very gracefully vacated his office in favor of Governor Boyd. Before noon Governor Boyd and assisatants were duly intiated into the apartments set apart and arranged for the chief executive of the state of course.
This gives the new governor possession of the vault and articles of the office Governor Thayer appeared very willing to concede the office, but dosen't like it at all. Peace now reigns.
