The Hearse surrounded by Jewell staff. Carriages.
 The procession passed down Pennington | avenue to Sigourney street and thence | through Asylum avenue to the Asylum Hill | Congregational church. On the march the Jewell staff acted as guard of homer. Every head was uncovered as the remains were lifted into the church and placed on a bier near the altar. At 12 o'clock the doors l were thrown open to the public, and from ' that hour till nearly ? a continuous stream of humanity passed up one aisle and down the other to take farewell glance of 8 fel- I low citizen they so highly honored and es- l teemed. Rich and poor, old and young, l halted by his coffin and sazed upon the we'll | known face, life like and smiling, even in death. The workmen from Jewell's factory ' marched to the church in body. Eight of the Foot Guard, under Lieutenant Naedle, to- gether with members of the staff, acted as guard of honor while the remains were in the church. The solemn tones of the organ never ceased from the moment the remains
 were brought into the church till the public services began. Dr. J. C.: Barnett of Fair Haven. an old friend of Governor Jewelrs,
 and for thirty years organist of the Center
 church, of Hartford was, at his own request,
 allowed to participate in the exercises. He
 took cearge of the organ till l o'clock, when
 he was relieved by MT. Pratt, the regular
 ganist of the church.
 At the afternoon exercises MT. Gallup of
 the South church was at the organ, and
 double quartette sang-Mrs. Huntington,
 Mrs. Woodbridge, Mrs. Wilson and Miss
 Keeney, and Messrs. Huntington, Gould,
 Woodbridge and Gundlach.
 Long before o'clock the great church was
 completely filled with people. The middle
 aisle had been reserved for invited guests.
 Till the services began the steady stream
 passing through the aisles was continued,
 and many were compelled to turn away.
 Every foot of standing room was taken up.
 At 2:3O the beautiful Episcopal responsive
 burial chant was sung, Dr. Parker following with scriptural reading. The choir sang again, ''Friend after Friend Departs" and Dr. Parker made brief address, at the re- quest of the family of Governor Jewell.
 Ike speaker said that the saying that death loves shining mark had been verified in the death of Governor Jewell He touched
 briefly upon the Governors career of what he had won through ability and indomitable courase-a career impossible to any man in another land than ours, which had been a tale of marvel to the Russian Alexis His
 life proves what can be accomplished. Dr. Parker referred to Governor Jewell's manly courtesy. his humane, kindly, generous na- ture. It is much to say of man that he has no enemies It is more to say of him that he is no one's enemy. He believed this could be said of Governor Jewell This is the more remarkable in view of his active political life, but his kindly nature was a shield to every foul blow. Dr. Parker closed with eulogizing the unostentatious simplicity of the deceased, and his sympathy for the people. He loved, trusted and helped men, and had no enmity in his heart.
 Dr. Parker announced that after the sing ing of 'FTheir Tun Shall no More Go Down. Senator Hawley would make such remarks as he saw fit.
 The morning trains from all directions brought men who had at some time been as- sociated with Governor Jewell politically or had business relations with him, to attend the funeral: Prominent men from all sec- t1ons of the State were present. Senator Hawley and the Hon. John R. Buck, came on from Washington. The Hen. William E. Chandler, Secretary of the Navy, Postmaster General Howe and ex-Postmaster General James were among the number; the Postof- flee department was also represented by Messrs. Frank Hatton, Hagen and others Ex-Governor James E. English of New Ha- ven, Postmasters Tobey of Boston, and Lee of Springfield, w. J. Dyer of St. Paul, ex- Governor Rice and Gorham Gray of Boston, were also among the number. |

 The ire bell was tolled during the services ]
 After the remains were laid away in the 1 General s. B. Merwin, of this citv. spoke as follows:
 Comrades, it is finished A noble life in the full flush of manhood has been cut of. as it appears to us, at 8 time of it's greatest use- fulness. He who gave has taken; in humble submission we bow. The form of our loved 1 and honored commander lies cold in death 1 before us. It would be ill timed for me to dwell upon his many virtues; you know them [ as well as I. We are here to pay our last tribute of respect, not in words, for the tongue refuses to give utterance to the feel ngs of the heart, the voice trembles with smotion, the lips quiyer, tue eyes are dim. med with tears of sorrow. As we speak the i ast farewell, each in his sadness will carry away fond memories of a true friend | Around his casket, we with sorr0wing hearts Ire whispering those bitter words, good bye. With one long lingering look, friend, conn 'anion, brother, we bid thee farewell, fare we'll. !
