Fresh from the Canal Xono , where NobrnHkniiH and former Norfolk resi dents have taken many positions of responsibility In the government ser vice , Is Ed Fitv.pntrlok of Columbus , who arrived In Norfolk last night for a visit with friends here. Mr. Fit/- Patrick is the Ilrst person to visit Nor folk from Panama since gouornl atten tion wan called to that locality a year or so ago. llo is taking a vacation In Nebraska , having boon at homo for the past six weeks.

Roberts , who was killed Saturday morning In the Northwestern railroad yards of this city , was held from the homo on South First street yesterday afternoon nnd was very largely attended , there being many railroad boys present. In terment was In Prospect Hill ceme tery. The services wore hold at 2:30 : o'clock. The killing of Roberts was wit nessed by a stockman who was In the city from the west , enroiitc to South Omaha. He saw wheels pass over the tnnn. It is now believed that Roberts stum bled over a switch rod , leading from the switch to the track , as marks show that this is where he evidently went under the wheels. The switch engine was pushing a coal car and a stock car from the west ( part of the yards , eastward. Roberts was running along besldo the coal carte to uncouple it from the stock cars , so that the stock car might be pushed away. Ho hold the lever on the coal car , to uncouple the two , and had giv en a signal with his lantern. Yard Foreman Leo then saw tbo lantern drop and summoned the engine to stop. Before the locomotive could bo stopped , however , ton pairs of wheels had passed over the man. Ho was picked up underneath the front trucks of the engine. The pilot had mashed him so that his Internal organs were badly deranged. Pallbearers at the funeral were : Mlllard Green , Norton Howe , A. II. Hrnuchle , Fred Hcllcrman , V. II. Mor- ha and Frank Flynn. Rev. Levl Gnnimot , stepfather of Mr. Roberts , from Inman , preached the funeral Hermon. "Ho who despises small things seldom dom grows rich ; " and ho who Ignores the. small ads. seldom even lives com fortable. TILDEN WILL HAVE A FAIR SUR PLUS LEFT OVER.
