Remains.
LOWELL, MASS, Jan. 15.-At General
Buffers late residence on Belvidere
Hill this morning private funeral SER
vices were held. Rev. DR.. A. st. John
Chambre, OF st. AIMS Episcopal
church, read the Office for the dead.
The body was in tho drawing room.
There was no eulogy and no address by
the clergyman. After the short service,
closing with the Lords Prayer. those
present looked upon the general for the
last time. A detachment OF comrades
OF Post 42, g. A. r., reached the house
directly after the private funeral ser.
vices. Col. Dimon, who had charge oil
the arrangements for the funeral, was in
command. Comrades bore the body
from the house to hearse drawn by
four horses. When the march to the
hall was taken up arms were reversed
and the ofIicers fell to the rear OF the
detachment.
The streets were crowded as the band
signalled, by dirges, the passage Of the
generals body from the house to Hunt
ington hall, where tho body was to lie
in state. A great crowd was waiting "
be admitted to the hall. In the hall
the coffin was placed in the centre OF
the floor. From the ceiling to floor q
wall Of black extended. The dim light
did not extend to this wall OF black and
the effect was dismal and gruesome.
Grand Army men guarded the casket..
On the coffin rested the sword and
epaulettes that were worn from Lowell
to the gulf and back again. Behind the
catafalque rested bank OF flowers that
had come from Presldent Harrison,
from the convicts Of the state prison
and from all classes OF people between
these extremes. President Harrisonl's
wreath was placed on, the coffin IN
Washington.
When the crowd was admitted to tho
hall they almost carried the doors OF
their hinges. They struggled up stairs
and bowled over the police, who tried to
restrain them.
All the afternoon steady stream OF
people poured in, but the crowds did
not diminish. Hundreds left the place
without getting in and many others who
wanted to get out of the jam were fovced
to wait and be swept into the hall by
the stream. Therewill be another clash
tomorrow morning, as those who failed
to-day will try then. The preparations
are ior great event, greater than Low
ell has ever witnessed.

THE CANDIDATE OF POLITICIANS.
In tho calculations that are being
made the candidac Of Judge Phil sny.
der is attracting much attention. His
personal popularity, particularly in the
Kanawha valley, his ability, his associa-
tion with Mr.. Camden and his services
to the Democracy are all points that are
discussed fayorably for the genial ex'
congressman.
Judge Snyder is not IN active candi-
date, and says he only will become one
when he ia sure his candidacy would
not hurt any of his friends.
Congressman Anderson is also talked
about but II is not thought he is much
in it, The Third district claims the
kenna succession on tho ground that
the legislature which elected Senator
Kenna had given the honor to the dis.
trlct, and it would be a simple matter
OF justice to allow the same district to
I'LL out the term for which he was
elected, as well as q graceful act OF re-
cognition OF the home OF tho late SON
ator.
The talk tonight indicates that there
will be trouble in the caucus. The
Camden and anti.Faulkner men will
probably fight for two-thirds rule.
Such rule cannot be adopted, but the
attempt may cause deadlock, which
will prevent n nomination. In thisevent
there is no telling what may happen.
