terry today by an immense throng of
sorrowing citizens. Tenderly tla re-
mains were borne from the black-draped
and fiower-scented corridor of the city
hall. where they had rested in state, and
placed in the funeral car. Through the
great crowd that had gathered to see the
murdered mayors last leave-taking of
the scenes of his ardent labors in behalf
Of the city he loved.the black car slowly
passed and took its place in the waiting
procession. As il drew into line the

from the center of the city the great
procession marched across the river.
and to the beautiful Church of the
Epiphany, near the late executives
house. All along the Ire of march the
people, wrth sad faces and barred hea ds,
watched the somber columns, and about
the church a throng as great as that
which had been about the city hall was
gathered.

placed in the city hall, yesterday, COLI
tinuouS procession has moved through
the corridor and past the bier. For

was of necessity abruptly closed to the
public,

look at the features Of the dead exec
utive. All night long men and women
stood in double file awaiting an entrance
to the building. Late last night the line
extended block and half from the
entrance. and the people stood in line
for hours. unwilling to lose their last
opportunity to see the face of Carter
Harrison. As the long line grew shorter
with the coming of the morning, the
officers on guard used every endeavor to
rush the people past the bier, but before
the nights crowd had melted, the early
morning thrOng began TO arrive. and
when the corridors were closed it was
estimated that fully 100000 people had
filed past the body.
