OF E1tcom AEum All pVuIgNps
There has mo-. been seen in Wheeling
in many years as large & funeral process
sion ss that which yesterday followed the
mortal remains OF Policeman Joseph
Glenn to their last resting place, audit
was the general expression Of old resi-
dents yesterday that they never saw q
larger funeral. The esteem in which the
dead officer was heldby those who knew
him, and the general appreciation of his
fidelity and courage were plainly shoWn
by the presence among those in the pro-
cession Of business men, wOrkingmen and
professional men. The members Of
the police force were present in
sbody with the chief, sincere
mourneYs, and the city officials and coun-
ell, county officials and commissioners al.
most To man paid the last tribute OF re-
spect to the public protector whose fidelity
cost him his life.
The city officials, Knighta of st. George,
Knights Of st. John, Young Mems Demo
cratic Club and large number OF others
met at the City Building OF o'clock, and
forming In line, headed by the Opera House
band, marched to the residence OF Mr..
Michael Glenn, uncle Of the deceased, at
the corner Of Twenty.seventh and Market
streets, where the body has been lying
since Wednesday night. Here the taste.
iul casket, which was almost buried IN the
wreath OF superb floral offerings, was
borne to the hearse by the pall'bearersr
Officers Killeen, Carney, Shorts, Vest,
McNichol, DrusChel, Dsvlin and Desmond,
Of the police force. The procession then
returned, the band playing diTge, and
the escort marching in the following order:
Opera House Band.
Knights OF 1t. George In uniform.
Knights OF st. John In uniform.
Young Mems Democratic Club,
Escort OF Police,
HearSe.s
Mayor and Council
City Officials and Employees.
| Citizens,
Hacks, Carriages, etc.
Following the hearse Officers Luktns
and Grubler bore the magnificent floral
desiRn presented by the murdered mans
fellow policemen, q broken column OF
fragrant flowers, resting on base which
was inscribed sour Companion" and sur
mounted by beautiful white dove which
while carried behind the body was poised
40 II gazing heavenwsrd, but when at rest
| by the coffin gazsd downward upon the
dead mans face. Officer Handshumscker
carried another tasteful floral piece, pill
low Of white immortelles, iringed with
ripened grain, and bearing In Tiny blue
flowers the word "Asleep." Nearly every
body in the procession carried white
bouquet.
All along the route to st. Joaeph's
Cathedral scceBsions were received TO the
corteGe, and the vast church was almost
filed with people before the body az
rived.
Here Rev. Monsignor Sullivan cele-
brsted the solemn Requiem Mass, the
large throng Of people maintaining a
silence which made the scene doubly i'm
pressive. At this service Mrs. Whitaker
sang "Nearer, my God, to Thee" i.
Right Rev. Bishop Kain then delivered
an appropriate and eloquent discourse
which was generally pronounced one Of
the most impressive and beautiful funeral
sermons ever heard in Wheeling. He
pronounced an sulogy on the character Of
the man who had met death In the dis
charge Of his duty, referred to the i'm
pressive testimony here witnessed Of the
public feeling, and then pointed a. moral
for those among the living, urging them
to 30 live that death might find them like
wise faithful to the trusts committed TO
their bands.
At the conclusion Of the services, the
procession marched 10 the Elm Grove
station, on Sixteenth street. Here most
OF the citizens boarded the two special
trains placed by the railroad company at
the disposal OF the Mayor and Chief Of
Police. The escort Of Knights and others
marched to the cast end Of Sixteenth
street, where third train was in waiting
to bear them to the cemetery. Among
those in line were police officers and
prominent citizens Of nearly all the sur
rounding towns, from Steubenville to
Bellaire. Buainess was suspended all fore
noon OF the city building. The number
OF persons who accompanied the remains
to Mt. Calvary Cemetery was limited only
by the capacity Of three trains.
At the cemetery brief services were con.
Quoted by Rev. MonEgnor Sullivan, and
the remains were consigned to earth, Q
shower Of flowers falling with the clods.
