OF a tremendous concourse of people from
all parts of the country to witness the simple
rites which preceded their interment The
indication OF finclement weather on the day
Of his funeral was verified only to the extent
Of q wintry, ieaden sky, and a thick atmos-

populace in the column which followed his
funeral car stood silent spectators of
the solemn spectacle, and attestcd their
fealty to his memory. The early morning
