ed Official. It is fitting that
the city should for few brief moments
turn aside from the pursuits of business and
the hustle and hurry of life to show re-
spect for man of integrity, of honor and
worth. Generally the memory of the dead
passes with the glittering pomp of the funer-
al parade, but with a man ofhonest integrity
his name lives in the memory of the people
after his cold frame has passed into its dust,
time only increasing our regret and esteem.
The speaker spoke in eulogistic terms of
deceased of his integrity, energy, fearlessness
in doing the right. He was public spirited
he said and generous, broad hearted and re-
spected, and the poor to-day call
him blessed. Though of decided opinions
himself, he respected the opinions of others.
There was no surprise that he should have
gained SO much respect and confidence
among men.
At the conclusion Of the address the lid
was fastened on the casket and the bearers
slowly passed with their sad burthen down

THE FUNERAL MARCH.
At about half-pa three the immense cor
tege slowly moved down Third street, the
Great Western band playing funeral march
by Beethoven. All along the street was lined
with people who from the sober expression
of their countenances came there for other
than the purpose of witnessing the process
sion as holiday pageant. Every store was
closed and blinds we're drawn down at most
of the business windows while every second
story was crowded with spectators. From
Third street the procession passed into Rob
ert the band playing the funeral march by
w. Charles. The people still lined the
sidewalks in silent phalan1,
while every opening street was blocked with
carriages. Slowly and sadly the oortege
passed along to Eighth street, the line of
spectators getting but little thinner, till it
reached Broadway, turning into which it
crept along to Mississippi street, the Great
march by Bergman. The crowds now only
occupied street crossings and fronts of
houses. When the head of the procession
reached Glencoe steeet, the Northwestern
band, the police and the Knights of Pythias
fell out of the procession and stood in line
till the cortege had passed, the Knights of
Pythias presenting arms. AT Nash street
the fire department. fell out and returned.
Owing to the heavy rain storm the ceme-
terry was unpeopled, save by the dead, the
sexton and those in charge of the grave. The
spot selected for the last resting place of all
that is mortal of Mayor Maxfeld, is one of
the most beautiful in the cemetery and is
canopied by the outrageous foliage of wide
spreading oaks. The grave was dug at the
foot of the tomb of Mrs. Motto, the mother
of deceased's widow. On the arrival of the
procession, the Masons took possession of
the grave, forming square around it, in
the centre of which the mourners were
grouped. AS the casket was being removed
from the hearse the Great Western band
played Kuhlan's "Grabgesang,'' a beautiful
composition full of solid and grand har-
monies. The casket was placed over the
grave; at its head and foot the insignia of
the Masonic order were placed, and the
magnificent floral cross with the words
CAT Rest" "Father'' The Masonic service
l for the dead was most impressingly read by
Prelste Miller, and the Masons performed
their rites over the grave after the coffin was
lowered-ths ceremonial of the apron Of
lambs skin, and the spray of evergreen, the
Great Western band playing the
hymns. After the benedictior
by the prelate, the band played
