Funeral of Gillis Hutt.

The funeral of Gillis Hutt occurred yes
terday afternoon from the Nj. +. church
and was largely attended. Rev. W. NJ.
Collins preached the sermon, or rather it
was description of the affair as given HIM
by deceased while on his death bed. The
church was crowded to its utmost capacity
and as Rey Mr. Collins proceeded with
his recital of the sad events which caused
the death of HUT, there was scarcely
dry eve in the church. The minister
seemed to be in perfect sympathy with his
theme aud never was he SO sadly eloquent
as upon this occasion. 1t was one OF the
most affecting scenes ever witnessed in This
city.
At the conclusion of the services the
body was taken to Riverside cemetery and
buried with Masonic honors.
Thus the curtain falls over one Of the
saGdest suicides ever recorded. Lllis
Hutt was young man whom everybody
liked; noble, generous and kind. He had
hosts of friends and when the coffin was
closed forever there were those present
whose grief was inconsolable. Deceased
was 80 years OF age and unmarried.
The Churches.
The churches yesterday were all well
attended especially the Congregational
where an excellent sermon was delivered
in the morning by Rev, K. Z. Barnard
after which communion services were held.
