afternoon. The body lay in state in the
mortuary chapel of Trinity church yester-
day afternoon and last night. A guard of
regular troops from Preside kept watch
over the casket throughout the night. The
streets in the vicinity of the church were
thronged long before the time of the
funeral, and during the services the build
ing was crowded, city officials, representa-
tives of foreign governments, judges of
the state and federal courts, army and
navy officers in full dress, leading Masons
and prominent civilians being present.

to Market. The crowd of spectators gath
cred all along the line of march until it
assumed vast proportions. At the foot of
Market street the Second brigade formed
in line and presented arms as the hearse
and escort passed. The cavalry escort on
reaching Washington street wharf presen-
ted arms as the casket was delivered to Ad

hundred yards out in the stream lay the
flagship Charleston The casket contain

the Madrona and received by Admiral
Brown. The Madrona steamed out to the
Charleston and the casket was transferred
to the flagship and placed in the after
