FUNERAL OF CAPTAIN MANNING.

  The funeral of Captain John Manning took place yesterday morning at 9 
o'clock at St. Mary's Catholic church, the service being conducted by 
Rev. Patrick Vereker, who preached a very impressive sermon from the 
text, "I am the Resurrection and the Life," closing with a brief eulogy 
on the long and useful life of the deceased.  An edifying feature of 
the service was a baritone solo, "Calvary," sung with much feeling by 
Joseph Bender.  The church was filled with sorrowing friends and 
relatives of the departed.  The pall bearers were Hon. James Foust, of 
Altoona; John R. Hunter, Roller Thompson, Harry I. Davis, and John F. 
Walsh.  Interment was made in St. Mary's cemetery.
