Funeral of the Late Martin Hellmann
 Held This Afternoon.
 The funeral of Martin Hellmann took place from his late home on Bank street this afternoon at 2:3O o'clock. The re- p1ains were taken to St Patrick's church where the funeral services and last rites of the church was performed by Rev Father Duggan. After the body was taken from the church the line of march was formed.
 In the lead was the Hellmann Ad- vance drnm corps with untitled drums, beating funeral marches. This organi- zatlon was the especial favorite of MT Hellmann, who once told friend that some day he expected to ride in a procession and that he wanted them to advance before him. The pallbearers were representatives from eight differ ent organizations as follows: Concordia society, John L. Saxe; Speedwell lodge, K. of F., John J. Siebert; Steuben lodge, Order of Harugari, George Groet- zenbach; Hermann Soehne, Gustave Reuter-; Court Fruitful Vine, A. OF. of A., D. J. Mahaney; Lyra Singing society, John Schmid; Protector Hose company, John Malone; Waterbury Turn Verein, Fred A. Goss. The hearse was drawn by four horses. The Pro- tector Hose Co, Concordia Singing HOCIcCy1 OpOOu"C44 AOOSCS Ns OA sS Order of Harugari, delegation from Court Fruitful Vine, A. o. F. of A., Hermann's Soehpe, Lyra Singing society and the Waterbury Turn Verein followed in the order named.
 Rarely has such widespread interest been taken in the obsequies of any citi- zen of Waterbury, and the number of people who viewed the remains as they lay in appearance unchanged save by deaths pallor in the rich broadcloth covered casket all day yesterday and was very great. On all sides could be head such expressions as, 'tIt is too bad "We will miss him in Brooklyn" "He was a charitable man." etc, etc. In fact, unostentatious charity was Martin Hellmann's crown ing virtue, and many a silent tear has dropped since his death by those he had befriended.
 The floral offerings were numerous and the designs simply grand. At the foot of the casket was beautiful wreath of roses on a pedestal, presented by the employees of the deceased, ex- pressive of lasting remembrance.
