THEY FELL IN BATTLE
and THEIR REMAINS ARE AT LAST
HOYORABLY INFERRED.
All That Remains of n Number Of Con-
federate Soldiers who Fell Mt Drswrys
Bluff Brought to Hollywood.

The refinement Of Confede crate soldiers
at Hollywood yesterday by the Junior
Hollywood Memorial Association was
peculiarly satisfactory occasion, and the
services in connection Herewith were APP
propriate and beautiful in a high degree.
Promptly at AS =. NJ. the Junior Holly
wood Association assembled In front Of
the Second Presbyterian church, and were
joined by delegations Of ladies' from the
Senior Hollywood, the Oakwood and He
brew Memorial Societies. and detach-
ment Of twenty-five men, under command
OF Orderly Sergeant j. w. Lockwood, Jr.,
from the Ashby Light Horse troop.
large escort from Lee Camp Of Confed-
crate Veterans, under command Of Colonel
Thomas j. Pollard, met the remains at
the Union depot. and as they passed with
three hearses containing the remains In
large wooden cases. the procession fell
into line, and marched 70 Hollywood by
the way Of Franklin street, Laurel street,
Floyd avenue and Cherry street.
Three graves side By side fifty yards TO
the right OF the entrance gate to the
soldiers section, and just across the
driveway from the front fence, were pre-
pared for their reception and marked
by standards Of Confederate colOrs. The
procession reached the grounds through
the front entrance and by a march around
Gettysburg Hi. The procession, though
much smaller than many which have
with measured tread marched the same
route, was quite impressive. The com
bination Of Confederate veterans, Junior
Hollywood boys and mounted volunteer
troops made an assembly very novel and
attractive.
Surrounding the triple grave was
large throng. The cases were lowered TO
rest by the veterans. assisted by the
cavalry. The cases were appropriately
dressed in Confederate colors.
The clear voice of Rev. Or. Moses u.
Hoge hushed the hum Of voices and with
impressive mein and manner he read a
burial service appropriate to the occasion.
Three gray-haired veterans stood at the
head Of the three graves and simultan-
eously dropped the particles Of earth be-
low, when the man Of God read those
solemn words which consigned them TO
the dust from which all men come.
Rev Landon r. Mason. rector Of Grace
Episcopal church, was the orator Of the
occasion lie was introduced by Or.
Hoge, and delivered an address which
was characterized by wholesome senti-
ment and reverence for the heroes Of the
Lost Cause.
He drew a worthy picture Of the sem
timents Of honor and patriotism which
actuated the Southern soldier, and taught
through his remarkable example that
duty is the loftiest sentiment in the
heart Of man. He paid a high tribute
TO the efforts OF the Junior Hollywood
Association in the matter. and in beauti-
full language pointed the youth OF the
land 10 Robert +. Lee as the highest
example Of hero and Christian. The
address was listened 20 with marked
interest. and Or. Hope heartily thanked
the speaker In the name of the Junior
Association.
The beautiful hymn. Nearer. My God,
10 Thee" hoated out on the evening air
from the lips Of Captain Frank Cunning
ham, and while the earth was placed
forever over thu fallen dead the blessed
song was taken up from mouth TO mou,l,
and many Joined the voice Of Richnond's
sweetest singer
The solemn hour was closed by a salI.e
fired with remarkable precision rom the
revolvcrs Of the Ashby Light Horse.
