son Of Nathan Coleman, cartman.
The procession is said TO have been a
magnificent affair, and passed off we'll
until reaching Spring Garden, when
three cheers were 6 Ivcn for Cass and
Butler, which elected three cheers for
Taylor; whereupon a number Of "Row-
dies' calling themselves "KiIIers," left
