WALNUT HILLs.--The funeral of officer
William Lynn, whose death occurred on
Friday night, as already mentioned in
the STAR, took place at 10 O'Clock AxM.,
Yesterday, attended by small detdch-
ment OF police and numerous friends of
the family.
Officer Lynn held continuous appoint
ment under several successive admins
trations. and had gained reputation for
honesty and efficiency rarely excelled.
A ruling trait in his character was kind
ness, with which all his official acts were
tempered. His quiet, unobtrusive per-
formance of duty under whatever Cir
cumstances, made him friends among all
classes, and notably among the boys,
whose friend he was always. 10 them
he was in the habit of granting indul-
gences usually denied them ny other OIL
GERS, by which he won the friendship and
esteem OF every boy, large or small, in
the community.
ANY abuse of privilege, however,
worked its immediate forfeiture, and the
boys long since learned to know this and
to respect his slightest wish.
1t was no uncommon thing for him to
be appealed to to settle Juvenile dis
putes on the sidewalks, and frequently
in door-yards. Whether it WAS quelling
a hair-pulling match or deciding the
ownership OF "bulPs-eye," no appeal
| from his decision was thought of.
| His comerades in the Seventh District
will probably take suitable action on his
death; and the citizens whose guardian
he has been SO long can scarcely do less
than TO meet and express their regrets
| by suitable resolutions.
| A daughter of the deceased lies in
very critical condition with the same
disease of which her father died-pneu-
| monia.

They were committed to Jail. On the
same night the grocery store of William
Mixer, on the corner of Ludlow and

is time something more should be done
! to protect citizens than is now provided
for their protection. These depnedations
are doubtless the work of the profess
sional tramps now being fed daily by the
city, and our officers should keep strict
, watch over them or the city forbid any
more provisions to be given them.
