THE JEANNETTE'S DEAD.
THEIR RECEPTION IN AMERICA AND THE FUNERAL PARADE IN THEIR HONOR.
The Services In Honor of the Heroes and Their Final Resting PIaces-An Impos- ing Scene.

The steamship Frisia, bearing the bodies of Lieutenant Commander George W. De Long and his comrades of the Jeannette, arrived in New York on Wednesday.
 The cases containing the bodies were on the promenade deck aft, and were not covered by anything. Six cases were in the centre of the deck, and two were on each side.
 The cases were of stout slats, and con- tained boxes covered with felt and tied up in burlaps. Inside the boxes were the metal caskets, imbedded in cork shavings. It was at first intended to open some of the caskets, but Lieut.. Scheutze said the bodies were not in condition to be seen, and this idea was abandoned. NJ Gollins's two brothers, brother of Dr. Amber, and Mrs. De Long saw the cases on the steamer.
 After the bodies were taken to Ya- kutsk they were buried deep in the frozen earth and kept there until last October. They were then disinterred and wrapped in linen, sewed up in felt, and put in temporary caskets made of tin. At Orenberg they were transferred to the bronze caskets.
 On Friday morning the bodies were placed on a revenue cutter and taken to Pier l, North River, where they were officially received by Commodore Upshur and the naval and military escort. The funeral procession was one of the most imposing ever beheld in New York. Many of the buildings on Broadway were draped in black. The Herald building, Post Office and City Hall notably so. The military escort consisted of ma rines and soldiers from the Navy Yard, the 69th and 23d regiments N. c. s. N. Y. and battalion of regulars.

Accompanying the body of Surgeon Ambler as pall- bearers were Passed Assistant Surgeons Jones, Lippencott, Henneberger, Ames, Whiting, Craig, Rush, Gaines, Rixey and McClurg. The memorial pail to Lieutenant Chipp was surrounded by number of the heutenaut's classmates.
 The pallbearers for the body of Jerome J. Collins were personal friends and fel- low journalists of the deceased.
 The floral offerings to the deceased were profuse. At noon on Friday Gen. eral Hancock fired the national salute of | twenty-one guns from n battery on Gov ernor's Island, which was the signal for the great procession to move from Pier | 1. While the procession was passing along Nassau street, Brooklyn, O similar salute was fired from the saluting ground at Fort Green, and when the head of the cortege entered the Navy Yard, twenty one guns were fired from the battery on the Cob dock.

Thence up Morris avenue to Main street, where the procession was disbanded amid the tolling of all the bells ill Brooklyn. On Saturday the funeral ceremonies of the deceased took place. At half past eight A. NJ. the remains were removed from the equipment building and placed on board the tug Nina, accompanied by Mrs. De Long, officers, pallbearers, sur vivors of the Jeannette expedition and body bearers.
 The Marine Guard and band embarked at the same hour on board the tug Catalpa and escorted the Nina to the foot of East | 23d street. On landing, the escort, consisting of regular troops, marines, sailors and State militia received the de- tachment. The bodies were in separate hearses.
