was a day of funerals in Birmingham
and the remains of thirty-eight vic-
tims of tho panic In Shllolt church
wore Interred In the various cemeter-
ies for negroes around the city.
All of the negro churches were
crowded and the naturally excitable
nature of the Southern negro was
wrought to a high pitch by the enlo-
glstlo sermons over the dead bodies
at the various churches.
From nil of the churches walls of
tho grief-stricken negroes could b
heard and groat throngs of mourners
followed the honrses to the cemeteries.
The death list now Is known to num-
ber 105 nnd 100 of these havo been
Identified. Tho pollco assert that at
least five bodies havo boen taken to
private houses that havo not boen re-
ported. This would swell tho number
to 110.
All of the dead negroes Identified
last night and today aro residents of
Birmingham except George Wright
who Is said to be from Savannah Ga.
In nearly all of tho churchoa for
whltoa sums wcro raised to assist tho
nogroes who are unablo to glvo their
dead proper burldl and with amounts
contributed by Wealthy citizens a buri-
al fund aggregating $500 has been ac-
cumulated. Among tho victims of tho illsastor
Friday night was Kassougo an African
boy brought from tho Congo Free
State two yoar3 ago by Itcv. S. Phillips
Vernor of Tuscaloosa.
Mr. Vernor was n missionary to the
Congo country and had tho misfortune
to fall into a gamo pit and was so-
vcrcly woundod by tho point of a poi-
soned star. Kassougo sucked tho poi-
son from tho wound nnd saved Mr.
Vernor's life. Tho lattor brought him
with him on his return to "this coun-
try and was educating him at Stlllman
Institute with a view to his roturnlng
to Africa as a toachor of his people.
During tho surumor vacation ho was
working nt tho Hardio Tynos machine
shops. His father is a chief of one of
tho Congo tribos. Ito hoard there wero
delegates from Africa In tho conven-
tion and ho attended hoping to soo
or hear them and was caught In tho
awful crush.
