The public buildings in the city were kept
closed during the entire OF Monday lsst,-fags
appeared with the Union down and at half
mast, and also suspended in various places
bound In Grape. At meridian, in conformity
with the Mayors Proclamation, and the uni
versal sentiment pervading each breast, every
place Of business within the city limits was
closed, and very many buildings were draped
in mourning, an outward manifestation Of the
sorrow and sadness Of the community. Our
streets were nearly deserted. It was a Sab
bath Of Death.
Shortly after 3 O'Clock P. NJ, the procession
was formed on Wall street, fronting the Court
House, and began the march amid the tolling
OF the bells, Col. HillYer, Marshal, and Coils.

then followed the military, the hatcher Guards,
Captain MidderhOf, and the Adams Light
Guards, Capt. Clarke, in columns Of sections,
comprising the first division, under the COM
mand Of Assistant Marshal Shaw. The sec
ond division, consisting Of the Masonic Fra
ternity and the lodges of Odd Fellows, and
other civic associations, was uRder the COM
msnd Of Assistant Marshal Cannon. The
third division, comprising the General Com
mittee Of Arrangements the Mayor and Sc
lectmeR Of the city, the invited guests from
abroad. the Clergy, the Bar, the Medical Fac
ultT, City Officers, County Officers, and Board
Of Visitors, principal teachers Of the hatcher
Institutes was under the command Of Assis-
tsnt-Marshal Minor, and the rear was brought
up By the fourth division, strangers, citizens
and carriages, under the command Of Assist
ant-Msrshsl Marsh.
The line thus formed, passing down State,
up Pine TO st. CathariDe street, moved out to
Monmouth pedestrians joining in the process
sion on the march, and carriages swelling the
pageant, till it stretched out fully a half mile,
being composed Of from 500 to 1000 people.
Arrived al the interior gate Of Monmouth"
the horses and carriages were left on the out
side and the vast cobcourss passed through and
around the walks to and in front Of the late
residence Of the deceased where the line was
haulted. The grounds Of Monmsuth were
crowded with citizens and strangers of all
sexes, classes, conditions and ages, who bore
the appearance Of a multitude Of mourners
gathered around the bier Of the Father of their
one common family. The funeral service was
performed at the house BY the Rev. DR.. Perry,
Pastor Of Trinity Church, and the Pail Bear
ers then gathered around the coffin, over which
had been thrown the Banner OF the United
States, a fitting pail for the hero dead. Again
over this was laid the worn, tattered and torn
flag Of the hatcher Fsncibles, Of which CON-
pany the deceased was won't to speak in terms
Of affection, as bis nesting. He was its
Founder and first Captain. On this flag laid
bis Fencibles uniform and sword, long since
disused, but in excellent preservation. On a
stand near by was bis full dress Major GeBer-
alps Uniform the epsulettsd coat, the sash,
the gsuntlets and bis swords. Among these
latter, we observed one bearing the inscrip-
ton
&" Preseated BY the Prssidens Of the United
States, agreeable to a TeSolHfi0R Of CengTess to
BRIGADIER-GENERAL JoHS A. QUrTAAK, IN
testimony Of the high sense entertained By Goa
gress Of his GdllGatry and Good Conduct IN
siorming Monterey. RssolstioR aPproUed March
ID, 1912
The blade Of this sword was Of the fhest
steel, (as were those Of all bis ~swords,) the
scsbbard Of gold, maguihesntly chased and or
with large and flashing jewels.
Another Of these swords bore this inscrip-
ton:
&" Presented to MAJeR GENERAL JOIN A.
QUITMAN, BY his fellow citizens Of Adams
county and Of the city Of hatcher, as a need
due to his gallantry at the storming Of Monte
rey, the Battles Of Chepultepec and Garila de
Belen-in which he glOTiously sustained bis
own character, the character OF bis State and
his country
A third was inscribed
q" Presented to GENERAL QUIrMAS by the
Germans and United Germsn F0silier Compa-
MES Of Charleston, S. c.
This latter was the deeessed's dress sword in
Mexico, during the war.
We saw, also, near by, several other swords
Of Inc lsmented QIitmsn, bearing no inserip-
ton. Among these was one taken from a Gne-
rilla chief at the storming Of Chepultepee.
Ibis sword has a knife case, forming a part Of
the scabbard, with the knife, a species Of hunt
ting knife, in the case. Another, the sword be
wore when be commanded the Fencibles. A
third, the battle sword be wore in Mexico.
Il was contemplated to have in the process
the horse Quitman rode in his Mexican
campaign, but, like bis master, that noble char
ger is numbered with the dead. Henry, the
faithful body servant who followed bis master
with him In all his battles, was one Of
he humble, but much observed, most sadly
neert-stricken mourners at the funeral.
