coffin In absolute silence. which was
unbroken even by the exchange
OF friendly greetings until after
the transfer Of the body TO the railway
carriage.
A the hearse moved from the station
n body Of police formed in front of the
procession, which appeared TO fall into
an orderly line In a purely extempor-
lied fashion. The band OF the working
mems union followed directly behind
the police escort and played the dead
March in Saul" Then came the Gaelic
athletic association with their purlers
reversed. resembling n military body
at reversed arms" As the march
progressed the crowds grew denser. yet
they kept clear OF the line of the pro-
cession along the whole route TO Castle
hill, where the serried ranks Of people
occupied every inch of space. The city
hall was reached at $50 o'clock.
A violent rainstorm streamed down
rs the coffin was borne into the hall
toward the c~atafalque. 1t kept raining
In torrents for hour after hour, yet the
numbers of the vast throng that were
struggling toward the city were not re-

severed Mr.. Pnrnell's favorite
horse followed the bier. Then
came n strong body of the Clan-na-
Gael with James stephens and
John 0'Leary. Prominent among the
individual members of the procession
was John 0'Connor, leading by the
arm the blind member. Mcdonald.
Then came carriages containing Mrs
Dickinson, the sister of Mr.. Parnell.
Mr.. Parnell's brother and sister, and
other near friends. The lord mayor in
state, preceded by the city marshal and

porations of the principal Irish towns
various trade societies, Foresters, home
rulers, private carriages and citizens
on foot
just as the procession started the rain
happily ceased, the sun broke through
the clouds and shone brilliantly. The
scene was most impressive. All the
windows and housetops along the line
of march were packed with people. 1t
had been planned TO take a somewhat
circuitous route to the cemetery In or

in the city, but rs II was found that ID
would be scarcely possible to reach the
place of burial before 0 o'clock the
more indirect route was abandoned.
II was n great procession, surprising
In point of numbers anything of the
kind ever witnessed In Dublin.
Throughout the route admirable or

Glasnevin.
Here the coffin was removed and
placed upon q platform especially con-

enable those in the procession to pass
around IL and have n full view of the
bier. At o o'clock the fast falling dusk
found the procession still filing past
There seemed no likelihood hat the
stream of marchers would end till far
into the night So orders were given
to remove the coffin to the side of the
grave.
The noise Of women, the cries of chill.

amid the crush made inaudible
the voice OF the clergy reciting
the ritual OF the church Of En-

service had been celebrated ut st.

rested twenty minutes while on the
way from the city hall. At the grave
