Guib0rd's Bones at Rest.
A Very Quiet and welt Conducted
Funeral.

MONTREAL, Nov. 16.-Early this morning
the Chief of Police sent detachment of arm
ed policemen to the Catholic Cemetery to pro
tect the men who were digging the grave of
Gulbord, and the remainder of his reserve force,
consisting of about 100 men, to the Protestant
Cemetery. Forty of the men were armed with
breech loading rifles, the remainder merely car
ryine Their bttons. The volunteers turned out
on the champs de mars. At one o'clock the
grave was ready for the coffin. At this time
not over twenty spectators were present at the
Catholic Cemetery, but crowds were collecting
from all directions The police formed hol-
low square around the Protestant Cemetery
vault, and the sexton unlocked the doors and
he aud his men entered followed by the friends
of the deceased After a little delay the coffin
containing Guibord's remains was produced,
and the procession started, which at the time
consisted OF couple of carriages, the police
being the sole guardians The road to the
all classes Great quiet prevailed, and no one
showed by look or deed any hostility towards
the procession. The funeral procession entered
the Catholic Cemetery, portion of the police
preceding and the remainder following the
hearse. The military were halted at the vii
ltge OF Cotres des Neiges The police formed
a large square around the grave and kept the
great crowd back while the coffin was brought
from the hearse and placed in the centre of the
bed OF cement prepared for it. The process of
filling the grave then began. The comments of
the spectators were various as the WORK went
on. Some thought it an additional desecration
of the cemetery and hinted that it was one
more reason why the cursed Guibord would
have TO come out of that. Mr. Camyrea a dis
tant relative of the deceased, said few words,
bearing testimony to the excellent character
and the esteem in which he was held by those
who knew HIM. The speakers remarks were
not received with aprpobation from number
OF roughs, who hooted at Mr.. Camyrea. Be
yond this there was nothing said on the side of
the Institu' Canadien
The animus of the crowd collected was so TN
mlstakeable and their threats to dig Guibord's
bones cut of the grave If occasion was offered,
We're so openly expressed that Mr. Bnlssean de
termiaed to secure if possible guard of police
from the mayor to watch the grave for at least
"a hours, thus giving time for the cement to
harden into solid rock. The mayor promptly
consented to this and sent out guard till such
time as not required The cement was file,
over the coffln near the surface, when a top
dressing OF earth was piled on and Guibord was
buried at last. A drizzling cold November rain
beat down on the snowy muddy ground and on
the spectators who witnt sSed the closing act in
the drama commenced SIX years ago. When
all was over crowd of 25 or 30 degraded look
ing loafers then gathered around the grave and
one OF them. in mockery, put q dead thistle
stock at the foot of it, which was snatched up
by bystander, a: whom they began to jepr.
AS the last cab containing 'lr. Bolssean moved
off, they summoned sufficient resolution to
emit good square hiss and few jeers.
