universal request Jefferson Davis was
given a funeral in full accord with h
rank as a military officer, in addition to
which numerous civic and other organi
zations combined to render the cortege
to-day in all respects tho most Imposing
not only with reference to numbers but
in t lie pomp and circumstance of iis
elaborate ceremonial. There nartici-
pat'-d in the obsequies of the father of
the confederacy, besides the eterans of
the lost cause, who have om-e again been
called upon to close up their decimated
ranks, many gallant soldiers whose un
flinching valor displayed on numerous
hotly contested fields resulted in glory
and victory to the stars and stripes.
Eleven thirty was the hour at which
the funeral ceremonies were to be com
menced, but long previous to that time
tho great Square immediately front
ing the city hall became an iinwichlly
mass of eager humanity. According to
programme the square proper was to be
reserved exclusiv ely for t () military. In
the enforcement of this Injunction) how
ever, the large, but by no means ade
quate, police force on duly experienced
iuiiutneralileob-trcles.aud It was with the
greatese difficulty that the swaying mul-
uiuoowas Kept tieyond the prescribed
environments. Every available place
from which either an unobstructed or
partial view could be had of tho norllco
of the municipal biiildinir was crowded
almost to suffocation. During nil this
flmu the air was laden with funeral
j oirges, i ne, solemn requiem of bells was
iieani on every hand ami loud and deep
were the sounds of the minnto puns that
at Intervals thundered forty deep
mouthed tribute to the dead.
'The body, notwithstanding tho very
warm and exceptionally oppressive
weather of the past week, was remarka
bly well preserved. At 12:20 the casket
was conveyed from the memorial room
to an improvised catafalque, in the cen
ter of the front ponico, whose massive
pillars were entwined with a profusion
of crepe. Over the casket was thrown
the soft folds of a silver flag of the lost
cause, and there glittered the sabrn with
which the dead soldier had carved fame
and honor for hlm-elf and glory and vic
tory for his country on the fields of Cha-pultep.-
and Monterey. Immediately
surrounding the coffin were the clergy
and armed sentries, they being the only
persons admitted to a place on the porti
co during the service.
The relatives of the deceased were as
signed to seats in the mavor s parlor,
from the windows of which they wen
enaoieu io witness ttie ceremonies.
During the obsequies in the city hall
minute guns were fired and bells tolled
j ne services were conducted by Jii-hop
Gallegher of tho Episcopal church, as
sisted by five officiating clergymen of
various denominations.
Bishop Gallegher in his address said in
part: "I am not here to stir bv a breath
the embers of the settline strife, nor trt
speak- one word unworthy of him and the
nour. fearless and unselfish.

uer mm ana nis unflinching fidelity with
deepening gratitude while, the Potomac

At the conclusion of the religious ser
vices tho casket was borne by a detach

wu caisson, which Had been prepared
especially for its reception and on which
it was to ue borno to the cemetery. The
caisson was drawn by six black horses,

oy a soldier in uniform. The battal
lions wheeled into line and tho proces
sion proceeded to the cemetery. As the
cortege traversed the streets from the
turrets of every church a knell was
tolled.
When the nroercss of the nroenscton
finally brought the military to the mon
ument and the soldiers were drawn up

beneath which is the tomb In
which it was to bo placed. The vet
eran associations, choristers, clergymen,
pall bearers, etc., had already taken po
sition and the family and intimate
friends of the bereaved followed. Bish
op Thompson opened the ceremonies by
reading the first portion of the Episcopal
burial service. Then Private Sapping
ton of Company U, Nineteenth United
States infantry, rounded tho "taps" ou
his bugle and Bishop Gallagher read the
second portion of tho ritual consigning
the body to the grave. An anthem was
sung by the choristers, Bishop Thomp
son recited the Lord's prayer, then the
hymn "Iiork of Ages" was rendered and
the religious rites were over. Bishop
Gallagher gave the signs for the closing,
the casket was raised from the bier and
the soldiers bearing It, marched around
to tho doorway at the back of tho monu
ment. Tho casket was placed In the
middle cf the vault, the slab screwed
tight and the deal had fonnd a tempo
rary place in the tomb of the Army of
Northern Virginia. An artillery saluto
was fired and the funeral was over.
