1.-THE eight engineers l have named as
pail bearers" said Mr.. Fillmore this
morning, ''are among the oldest in the
employ of the company. Their first
service dates back to 1868, when the rail-
road was in its incipient stages. They
have through a long term of service
proved their fidelity and faithfulness.
All were on terms of intimacy with Sem
ator Stanford, who greatly admired and
respected them"
On account of the immense attendance
which will probably be on hand to paw
their last tribute of respect to the mem
ory of the departed, it has been decided
that the chapel at Palo Alto will be mad
equate to accommodate the crowd, and
the funeral will therefore be held in the
open quadrangle on the university
grounds. There will be no pomp or dis
play, as the family request is that every
thing be conducted with simplicity.
The burial service of the Episcopal
Church will be read, with Bishop Will
lam Ford Nichols officiating A choir
will render appropriate music, and Rev.
Horatio Stebbins will deliver the funeral
sermon.
sit is the intention to have the funeral
services very quietly conducted" said
Colonel Crocker this morning. Senator
Stanford was a man who despised pomp
and vanity. He advocated simplicity in
everything, and in accordance with his
wishes his funeral is to be conducted.
There will be no organized bodies in
attendance, but every body who wishes to
pay their respects to the memory of the
deceased will have an opportunity to be
present. The services will be held in
the quadrangle at l o'clock on Saturday
afternoon. Friends from the city will be
carried to the grounds, arrangements
having been made to run the 1910 train
to point near that selected for the serv-
ices"
News comes from Palo Alto that letters
and kilograms of coincidence from all sec
tions of the country were received to-day.
Most ofthe members of the United States
Senate and the prominent officials at
Washington have been beard from. All
express the most profound regard for the
deceased and proffer their sympathy to
the widow and family.
