Funerals of the Murdered Priests.
PARIS, June 7.-The funeral ceremonies to-
day over the remains of five clerical victims of
the Commune were solemn and impressive.
'Notre Dame" was grandly arrayed. The
central object in the solemn pomp was gor-
geous catafalque containing
The Remains of the Archbishop,
surrounded by minor structures bearing the
corpses of Duguerry, Cure of the Madelaine;
Suret, Grand Vicar of the Diocese; Becourt and
Sebatur. The coffin of the Archbishop was
covered with pail of black velvet, embroidered
and enriched with a massive silver cross.
Thousands of tapers were burning in silver
candelabra and the incense vessels were also of
silver.
The floor was covered with black cloth and
the pulpit covered with black gauze bespangled
with silver stars Black drapery covered every
statue except those of the Virgin and child and
st. Denis, first Bishop of Paris. In the midst of
all were the black and charred remains of the
bishops chair; and his throne, also half burned,
with which the Communists endeavored to burn
the Cathedral, was left intact as a memento of
the crime. The weather was dull. Along the
route of the procession the windows and streets
were crowded with spectators. Bells were
tolling and salutes fired. A strong force of
regulars with reversed arms and muffled drums
were in the procession.
The Funeral Car
of the Archbishop was covered with silver and
drapery and drawn by six horses. Another
beautiful car, containing the remains of Suret,
followed. The procession reached the Cathe.
dral at II o'clock. The inside was crowded with
members of the Assembly, priests, and Sisters of
Charity. At IL o'clock the priests and deputies
left the chancel, and proceeded to the great
doors, which were draped in black, to meet the
coffins. Chanting then commenced, and outside
were heard the beating of drums, pealing of
trumpets, and roaring of cannon. At the ele-
vation of the Host the firing was repeated. The
altar was magnifcently decorated, and the ser
vice was long and solemn. MacMahon, L'Admi-
rault. and Favre were present.
