DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-THE remains of Charles
Stewart Parnel arrived at Kingston at
O'Clock this morning. Upon being re-
moved from the train the coffin was
taken from the case which was then
lifted into the hearse, a panel OF glass
exposing the coffin to view. Wreaths and
to her floral tributes literally covered the
top OF the hearse and were piled around the
coffin case. These after they had been put
aside, were eagerly seized by the crowd.
broken into small pieces and kept as mem
oirs of the sad occasion. As the hearse
moved from the station the procession APP
peared TO fall into an orderly line in pure
ly extemporzed fashion. As the march
progressed the crowds grew denser, yet they
Kept clear of the line of the procession along
.he whole route to Castlehiil, where the
people occupied every inch of space. The
,ty hail was reached at baf-pnst eight
o'clock. Its front was covered with solemn
traper;es.
The co.n, which rested upon a raised dais
in the middle of the chamber, was buried in
masses of wreaths, floral crosses, Irish harps
and other flower designs. Photographs of
the remains lying in state were taken before
the public was admitted. These show that
the coffin was placed at the base of the
O'Connell statue, and on either side in bold
relief are the statues Of Grattan and Lucas.
Conspicuous on the coffin were three
wreaths from Mrs. Parnell, new anchor
and circle, with the inscriptions: "Nly own
true love; best and truest friend, my hus-
band, from his broken hearted wife. In
side this inscription was the following: "My
dear love, my husband. my king, from his
heart broken wife" There were also two
lovely wreaths from Mrs. Parnel's daugh-
,x-i. lao IL,
and little Kitty to our dear mothers hus-
band.
From 10 clock till in the afternoon a
continuous stream OF people poured into the
city hall. 1t is estimated that 40, 900 per
sons ayailed themse YES OF the last oppor-
tunity to pay their respects to the illustrious
dead. Nearly all wore the deepest mourn
ing, the men having band of black Grape
interviewer with green ribbon around the
arm.
As the procession started the rain happily
censed the sun broke through the clouds
and shone brilliantly. The scene was most
impressive. All the windows and house
tops along the line of march were packed
with people.
1t was great procession, surprising in
POINT OF numbers anything of the kind
ever witnessed in Dublin. Some 40 coo
people had passed through the council hail
during the four hours the body had lain in
state, and the most of those joined the pro
cecsion, forming into line six abreast
wherever gap in the procession permitted
them to so.
At the grave Rev. Mr.. Vincent of the
Rotnna chapel and the Rev. George Fry OF
Manchester officiated, They were obigeG
to cut the service short, the crowd broke
into the protecting circles aud overwhelmed
the inner group. Some time after, III the
dead darkness, when the crowd mad thinned
away, the more intimate friends again
grouped themselves around the grave, de
posted wreaths thereon AID took tho last
view of the coffin.
Probably never anywhere was a grea
popular demonstration attended by so it'll
excitement. Most of the public houses re
manned closed throughout the day out o.
respect 20 the dead. The police, unfailng
ly obtrusive in Irish public gatherings, wer
to-day conspcously absent. To gh
Sunday quietness prevails in the city.
