 Arrangements For the Funeral on wed-
 nesday.
 The arrangements for the funeral of the late Governor Jewell have been placed under the direction of the gentlemen who were of his staff. A telegram to that effect was re- ceived by General s. E. Merwin, in this city, and he went to Hartford yesterday by an early train.
 Private services will be held at the late res idence of the deceased on Pennington ave- nue, Hartford, at Il o'clock on Wednesday morning. At 11:3O o'clock the body will be borne to the Asylum Hill Congregational church, where it will lie in state from 12 o'clock until 2:30 in the afternoon The Governors old staff will act as 8 guard of honor until the public funeral services begin. While the remains lie in state an opportuni- ty will be given to the public to view for the last time the face of the deceased. The ser vices will be conducted by Rev. Mir. Twich. ell, and he will be assisted by other cIer- gymen. The interment will take place in the family plot in Cedar Hill cemetery. The public are requested to attend the ser vices without further notice. The members of Governor Jewell's old staff who will act as guard of honor are: General s. B. Mer win, jr., General l.. A. Dickinson, Surgeon General Nathan Mayer, General F. J. Whit temore, General Geo. P. Bissell General J. D. Frary, General A. J. Beers, Colonel John Tweedy. Colonel W. H. Hayward, Col onel J. W. Knowlton, Colonel F. J. Preston, Colonel 0. A. Jewell, Colonel s. l.. Sayles,. Colonel 0. D. Blinn, Colonel s. J. Fox, Major B. F. BlakesIee, Executive Secretaries H. B. Burton and H. A. Taintor.
 The body will be enclosed in a casket of oak covered with plain black cloth. The handles will be covered with woven black silk and the plate and ornaments will be of silver.
 The intention to have the funeral services at the house private raised the question how this should be construed, and in a very short time it became apparent that it would be impossible if the house were opened to any but the immediate relatives. The Il o'clock service, therefore, will be attended only By the family.
 The public service at the church will be at- tended by large number of public men from all parts of the country, including Post master General Howe, and some eight or ten from Washington There will be a large at tendance from this city. It will be necessary to reserve considerable number of seats for guests from out of town and the propriety of this will be understood by all. The music at both services will be in charge of MT. Charles W. Huntington, and the church will be elaborate. The choir at the church will be made up of Mrs. Huntington and Mrs. Woodbridge Miss Keeney and Mrs. Watson, Mir. Huntington and Mir. Wood bridge, MT. Gould and Mir. J. A. Graves. It is believed that the programme will be made to include the ''Bless thou tLe departed" from Spohr's ''Last Judgment" which was sung at the funeral of Dr. Bushnell, and has been heard in Hartford since that time The singing at the house will be by quartette. The Hartford Common Council met last night at the call of Mayor Bulkeley and took suitable action. In the Legislature B. s. Cleveland, first Representative from Hart ford, will to-day call the attention of the Legislature to the death of ex-Governor Jew ell by brief remarks, and will move an ad- journment over the day of the funeral and the appointment of joint committee to rep resent the State, officially, at the obsequies. party of about ten from the Postoffice department, including Postmaster General Howe, left Washington yesterday afternoon, be in New York to day and in company with other postotice officials will attend the funeral of ex- Postmaster General Jewell in body.
 The flags on the public and private build ings in Hartford were at half mast through out yesterday. The Governors Foot Guard are to act as escort and there will be dele gation of Washington Commandery of Knights Templar. The military escort will not go to the grave, but the Governors staff will accompany the body to it's resting place. The body will be carried by hand from the family residence to the church.
 From all parts of the country there have been sent messages of coincidence to the sur- viying members of the family. Among the senders were President Arthur, Senators Platt and Hawley, Congressman Wait, Phelps, Miles and Buck, Senator Windom, ex-Post- master General James, Hon. Edwards Pierre pont, ex-Postmaster General D. M. Key, Chief A. D.. Hagen of the signal service, R nf the Springfield Republican, Charles Root of Detroit, Henry Gillig of the American Ex- change, London ex. Governor Rice of Mass achusetts, Sub b-Treasurer Kennard, Governor Howard of Rhode Island and hundreds of other distinguished men. The following were sent from New Haven:

 The admirable portrait of Governor Jew ell recently painted by Wheeler for the series of Governors in the State library has been temporarily removed and placed in the win dow of place of business on one of the principal streets.
 The Hartford Post last evening said s'The death of no citizen in many years has caused so profound emotion, and by the en- tire community his decease is looked upon as public loss. His eminent position in the affairs of the State and the nation, his exten- sive manufacturing, business and financial interests, and more than all, his humane xuhT ah 1o1o h1 ot n11ao ko1 and beloved by all who came in contact with him or who entered into the fold of his large heart and kindly influence, combine to make his removal by death severe blow. It is in Hartford, where he lived and laid the founda- tions of his life. work, that his death is felt most poignantly. and there were many sad hearts among the worshippers in the church es yesterday, and today this feeling of sor row has not diminished, but, now that the sudden shock caused by the intelligence has passed, has increased rather and finds ex- pression in all ranks and among all classes"
