Preparations for the Funernl.


NETWORK, Feb. 10.-Arrangements for
the funeral of Gen. Hancock are being rap
idly perfected. The body will be taken
from Governors Island to the Battery on
Saturday morning by the steamer Chester
A. Arthur. All the officers connected with
the post and as many soldiers as can be
spared will accompany the remains The
funeral procession will proceed up Broad
way to Trinity church, where the services
Will be held by Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix and
his assistants. There will be no military
music whatever in the procession and the
only troops in line will be those from Gov
ernOr's Island. The staff of the late gen.
eral will follow the hearse. The eers-
monies at the church will be of the simplest
character possible. There will be no ad-
dress. The services will be similar in char
acter to those at the funeral of William II.
Vanderbilt. The body will be taken to
jersey City, where special train will take
the funeral party to Philadelphia. The
train will arrive at Philadelphia at LAS
o'clock. Here the Philadelphia division OF
the military order Of the Loyal Legion will
join the party and accompany the body to
NOrristown, where the train will arrive at
p. m. Gen. HancOcks remains will be
placed in the family vault. A brief service
will precede the burial. In accordance with
HancOcks wishes the funeral will be of the
simplest character. Gen. +. d. Whipple,
who is now the highest military officer sta
toned at Governors Island, has received a
large number of applications from military
and civil bodies for permission to take part
in the funeral procession. 1t is probable
that none of these will be accepted, as the
procession will not be formal one.
