The streets were in fearfully muddy con-
dition, but that did not seem to deter the
multitude from turning out, and it
was perfectly astonishing how the
sidewalks were damned with foot
passengers. The patient on~lookers
stood there under the dripping caves of each
Others umbrellas with perfect equanimity,
but as the Great Western band came along,
broke ranks on the edge of the Third street
sidewalk, and surged down the thoroughfare
in seething mass. And so it continued all
along the line of march, excepting that, the
rain having ceased, the assembly shut up it's
umbrellas and stood as still as statutes as the
the procession passed.
THE FUNERAL MARCH.
At about half-past 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 were 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 Ill a silent phalanx,
while every opening street was blocked with
carriages. Slowly and sadly the cortege
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
Western band playinga magnificent dead
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
Pythias presenting arms. At Nash street

Owing to the heavy rain storm the Gene
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 beautifulin tie 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,'' 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
SAT Rest" Gather The Masonic service
for the dead was most impressingly read by
Prelate Miller, and the Masons performed
their rites over the grave after the coffin was
lowered-the ceremonial of the apron of
lambs skin, and the spray of evergreen, the
Great Western band playing the
hymns. After the benediction
by the prelate, the band played
SHOW soft they slumber-" (Reefe.) The
mourners we're then led to their carriages
and were slowly driven from the spot in
Gods acre, where they had laid him to rest
from his weary pilgrimage, whom they loved
so well, and whose memory will be cherished
in the deep recesses of the hearts of all true
citizens so long as they throb with the breath
of life.
