New YORK, September 8.
The Suns Salt Lake special has the
following details of Brigham Young's
funeral: The coffin was of California
redwood, vanished, and without or
nament, and the lining was of white
satin. The corpse rested on a wool
mattress. The arrangements were all
in accordance with written instructions
given by Brigham Young in 1873
which instructions were read at the fu-
neral. The Tabernacle was heavily
draped and p%rofusely decorated with
flowers, the dome being festooned with
roses, boquets and baskets of flowers,
and wrealhs were suspended from the
pillars and gallery. The coffin was
placed in ronto OF an elevated platform
resting On a modest catafalque. Two
hours before the opening of the SER
vices, the gallery and about half of the
body of the building for the public
were filled, and thousands of persons
were unable To- gain admission to the
Tabernacle. Ten tiers of seats in front
of the stand were occupied by the fam
ilv and relations of the deceased
Prophet, numbering several hundred.
This arrangement was in accordance
with church rules. The sands in front
Of the organ were occupied by high
church authorities. John w. Young
and Daniel II. Wells, counselors to
Brigham Young, and Brigham Young,
jr., and George @. Cannon, we're on the
upper stand. Ten Apostles were next
below, and the High Council we're still
lower. Bishops were on the north
platform, and the City Council on the
south, in front. Behind the family
were the quoruns of the Seventies,
high priests. elders, teachers, deacons.
etc. George q. Cannon was Master OF
Ceremonies, aud promptly at noon an
nouuced the opening of the services,
beginning with the hymn "Hark. from
Afar, which was sung by the Taberna-
| Gle choir of 220 voices. The opening
prayer was offered by Apostle Frank
lin ID. Richards, who thanked God that
when he took Joseph Smith he gave
The Saints for a leader Brigham Young,
one Of the noblest and pnrest of the
royal family of Heaven. 1t was a sig
niticant fact that John w. Young and
Brigham Young, jr.. both aspirants for
the presidency of the Church, occupied
the seats of their father and his coun-
sellers. Many people thought that they
should have been with the family or
with the Apostles.
The benediction was pronunced by
Apostle Orson Hyde, with which the
funeral services at the Tabernacle
closed, and the procession was formed
by the different orders of the Priest
hood, making a line i'm order of rank,
which followed the corpse to the
Prophets private cemetery, where it
was deposited in a vault prepared for
its reception,
Che Vacant Supreme JudSeship
and ~iher Washington Items.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.
The appointment for the vacancy on
the Supreme Bench will be made this
month. Members of the court would
prefer the promotion of Judge Drum
mond, of the Circuit Court, but the
President is DESTROYS of appointing a
Southern man. Judge Hunt, of Louis
lama, aud Bristow are the most prom
inent in his mind.
The trial of Wells and Anderson will
be called this month. Both left here
last week full of confidence that they
would never be convicted. They were
not so hopeful that they would be &C
quilted by the Jury, but it would be
i'm possible, they believed, to secure
any verdict. The President and Sec
rotary Sherman are understood tn
share this confidence. Well informed
parties in New Orleans seem to take
the same view, and, while admitting
that the prosecution will be vigorously
pushed while here, that conviction Is a
matter of much doubt.
The annual reports Of the heads OF
Departments and Bureaus of the Gov
eminent will not be prepared for sub
mission to Congress at its session in
October, but will take the ordinary
course and go on with the annual mes
sage of the President at the commence
ment of the regular session in Deem
Der. This enables the President and
his Cabinet to be absent most of this
month on their trip West.
