diately following the police were Mayor

who had known the dead officer ia an
official capacity
When the procession reached the
the church the building was already
crowded except space which had been
reserved for the family and friends.
Rev. George S. Bradford conducted the
services, which were very interesting
and impressive. He spoke of the charac
ter Of the dead man as sn officer, and
paid high tribute to the manner in
which he had given up his life for the
interests and property of the citizens he
spoke OF the good reputation of the entire
force and particularly commended them
for the good work which they performed
He said II can speak only In the highest
terms of Officer Shultz as an
officer. He did his duty and
did il only too we'll The entire
police force of Wilmington has always
been a credit to the city, and this in
stance only illustrates the extremes to
which they will 60 in protecting the
lives and property under their care.
Il think the widow and five small
children of this man should have the
sympathy of the people of this city
Fhey do not want that sym
patty which we hear of every
day, but the substantial sympathy of the
kind given by Stephen 6irard. We do
dot want to say, / pity them, but we
want to say how much we pity them
by placing the amount Of our pity in the
hands Of the widow. The city
undoubtedly owes to the family OF this
brave officer more than it can ever repay
and | think that the citizens should
show their heart felt gratitude towards
the family Of an officer who
will lay down his life for his duty, and
they should show it in the most sub
stantial manner possible.
Here he spoke Of the moral character Of
the deceased and took the opportunity
to impress upon bis hearers
the necessity OF working Tor
their salvation aud described the manner
of Shultz' entrance into the Catholic
Churchl
When tine services had concluded the
line reformed and guarded By bis
comrades Of the police force, the
remains Of the assassinated man were
borne to their grave in the New Cathe-
dral Cemetery.
