A Classic and Appropriate Funeral.
NEW YORK, November 2-At 10
o'clock this morning the body of
General George b Mcclellan was re-
moved from the house of Mr.. w. G
Prime, at East Twenty-third street,
to the Madison Square Presbyterian
church, where the last funeral SER
vices were performed by the pastor,
Rev. DIR. Charles Parkhurst.
Although the morning broke dark
aud gloomy with occasional bursts of
rain, yet hundreds of people gathered
early in the neighborboods of the
church aud of Mr.. Primes house.
A squad of police officers arrived
carly and were placed in position to
preserve order. III officers also
guarded the church doors and pas
sages leading to them, and no per-
sons, not even intimate friends of the
family, were admitted within the
doors of Mr.. Primes mansion and
only the family and pail bearers, were
present when, reverently and with
lender hands, the black, cloth-covered
casket, upon which rested shcaf of
wheat and few immortelles, was
lifted aud borne to the street.
On either hand were the pail bear
ers, consisting of General w. s. Han
cock, General Fitz John Porter, Gen.
eral w. b Franklin, General j. Il.
Johnston, General Arson G.. McCook,
General Martin 4. McMahan. S. NJ.
Barlow, Hon. w. q. Kelsey, Colonel
f. ii. Wright, Thatcher w. Adams,
Hon. A. 5. Hewitt, VIM. NJ. Prime,
John Il. Agnew and w. G.. Alsworth.
Behind The pail bearers followed:
Mrs. Mcclellan, Miss Mary McClel-
Ian and Mat Mcclellan, Captain Ar.
thur Mcclellan, General March aud
the family servants.
In this order the cortege left the
house and was met outside 10y the
state commender OF the Loyal Legion
of the United States and representa-
tives of Meagher's IRISH brigade,
which served under General McClel-
Ian, and both of these organizations
preceded the body to Madison ave
nue., where between fifteen ranks the
cortege passed into the church aud up
the aisle where stood the officiating
clergyman.
The church was filed in every part
and prominent men could be seen
everywhere.
The church was without decora-
tons or cmblems OF mourning, save
lew. flowers at the altar and the SER
wives were of the simplest descrip-
ton, not occupying half an hour.
"Jesus, Lover of my Soul,' and 80,
Mother Dear, Jerusalem" two of the
hymns which General Mcclellan best
liked, were sung, after which prayers
were offered by the Rev. DR.. Park
hurst and the fifteenth chapter ofFirst
Corinthians was read by Rev. DIR,
Whitaker, and the final rites were
conducted in the simplest manner.
When the services were ended the
under takers assistant placed the cof-
fin ON their soulders and marched
slowly down the aisle to the door, the
congregation remaining standing un.
the pail bearers and members of the
bereavcd family had left the building
Outside the church the street was
incl with people but the police
maintained good order. The family
the delegation OF neighbours from
Orange and the committee of thu
Loyal Legion took carriages and
were driven to the Pennsylvania rail
way depot where special train stOOt
waiting to receive the party; and the
train steamed out of the depot a
noon for Trenton, where the buria
will take place.
AS the funeral procession movec
from the church TO the depot 1t rwai
received with marked courtesy by
the people who hurried along thu
sidewalk. Has were lifted an,
many tear fell from the eyes of vet
GRAMS who once served under he deaf
general.
The simplicity of the procession
was noticeable Nothing about it CAV
any indication whatever of the dea,
hero. There was no soldiers IN lin,
no band of music, no draped color,
and the funeral procession, so far a
any outward display was concerned
might have been that of any well-to
do citizen.
When the remains arrived in Jer
sey City they were placed IN the fol
ward Gar of the special train whic
: was to convey them to Trenton. A
, the pail bearers accompanied the rt
mains, and Rev. w. II. Whitaker, {
: the Oran &c Presbyterian church,
4 which General Mcclellan was a
elder. The pail bearers occupied Il
[ second car, and the widow, son al
. daughter, and Dr.McClellan, with fe
4 intimate friends, occupied the c.
n with the remains. A large crow
\ was in the depot and reverently TOT
g their hats of as the casket was co
e veyed from the house to the trai
G II was followed by twenty-eig
i members of the Legion of Honor.
