The funeral of little Fernando Quiiada,
so brutally murdered in Chinatown last
week, took place yesterday afternoon at
8 o'clock.
The services were held at the Plaza
Catholic church, within sight of the bar
ricaded doors of the Chinese stores on
Los Angeles street.
While the funeral was going on oc-
casional Cinnamon could be seen peep
ing out of doors and windows fronting
the church, observing the crowd which
had collected, but the usual Sunday bus
tie in the Chinese quarters was con-
spicuous by its absence.
The funeral was very simple, and was
not characterized by the excitement
amongst the Spanish population which
had been expected. In fact there was q
very small attendance, those present be-
ing mostly women and children. The
absence of men was very noticeable, al
though quite large number were scat-
tered about in little knots before the
services.
There were no servicesa at the residence
of the Quijada's on st. John street. The

the murdered boy, was covered with
beautiful flowers sent in by friends, and
the hearse was followed to the church
by three carriages containing the family
and few intimate friends.
Father Mccarthy met the unassuming
cortege at the door of the church, and
amidst silence that was painful pre-
ceded it to the altar, where the casket
was deposited, while he spoke the brief
words of the burial service for the young
This occupied but a few moments, when
the remains were taken away for inter
ment in the Catholic cemetery.
The simplicity of the funeral and the
freedom from excitement which pre-
vailed, made the occasion much more
impressive and affecting to those who
attended it, than if j. had been conduct
ed in the midst of an uproar from those
who ciamor for vengeance upon the per.
petrator of the cruel murder.
IN CHINATOWN.
1t was very quiet on the Chinatown
front throughout yesterday, except now
and then boisterous shouts from some of
the dice games which had opened up.
The places of business were open; there
was general air of activity throughout
the town, and reassured feeling of
safety. The number of curiously in
cined visitors was larger than on any
previous day, many taking advantage of
it being Sunday, and extending their
stroll to the scene of the murder.
In the afternoon the Rev. j. @. Nevin,
Phi. d., delivered sermon on Apablasa
street, in the Chinese language. His
subject was on The Use of the Tongue,
showing that an uncontrolled torgue
causes untold troubles, giving in illus
tration quotation from Confucius, that
"a four-horse chariot cannot overtake
the tongue" This seemed to strike the
naturally talkative Cinnamon very
forcibly, and the large crowd listened to
the evangelist very attentively. The
minister also made few remarks in
reference to the crime of murder, and
while he did not directly refer to the
recent murder, the application was well
understood.
Some of the struggling visitors seeing
the crowd around the minister, hurriedly
ran to the spot, supposing iome one was
haranguing party for the purpose of
sacking the town, but they seemed to be
sadly disappointed and Immediately
wandered away.
About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon,
hearse followed by three or four car
riages drove slowly through Chinatown,
and as the hearse turned in the direc-
ton of the scene of the murder, large
crowd followed. The hearse stopped at
corner opposite. and the body Of the
Chinaman who died Saturday, was
placed inside, and the vehicle drove
away, followed by the crowd.
