his language in giving orders. The people
on the streets to-day are showing what they

Those Of you who bear his remains away

fully through personal inspection. To ap-
precIate the wonderful beauty of these
tributes to Chief SCanueiPs memory per-

dead man lay surrounded by the tributes
from his friends.
At the head OF the coffin stood a cross OF

the coffin framed in square of smilaX. and
a wreath Of immortelles from the Chief Of
Police lay just above the silver plate. The
tender offerings of nearest friends were
alone placed on the coffin. A star of hya-
cinths, pink and white, a small bunch of
viOlets, some purple ribbon and bouquet
Of forge-me-nots at the foot. That was all.
One OF the most beautifully wrought pieces
was the large chair Of flowers, the gift Of
the Fire Commissioners. Two doves clung
to the top on either side. The back was
mass of white roses in which appeared the
words, THE Chefs Chair" in yiolets. On
the seat was fremau's hat done in roses.
Along the arms were Gala lilies, and the
sides were banks OF red and pink roses

Previous to this, and while tha funeral
sermon was being delivered, the funeral

its right resting on Post. In the line were
seven wagons, draped in black and loaded
with the floral pieces elsewhere described

There were siXty-thres carriages In line,
each containing from four to six people
and hundreds marched along the sidewalks
clear out to the cemetery. The streets
were literally damned with people, aud the
crowd that viewed the cOrtege on its way to

high as $4,000.

Unfortunately the inability OF the Fire

rapidly through the room and view the

fully five thousand people passed the bier
yesterday, exclusive of the members Of
societies which were to take part in the
funeral procession and who were admitted
after the doors had been closed to the
general public
When at 2 o'clock the doors were closed

Temem beTed that the body lay in state for
the better part of three days. and that the
crowds on Friday and Saturday were almost
as large as that of yesterday, it is reasona ole
to suppose that upward of 10000 people

and took a last look at the well-known face
of man universally known, respected and
loved for his integrity and generosity and
bravery by the people, not alone of this
city. but of the State.
Everywhere there we're manifestations OF
the sorrow of a people over the loss of a

At last some attention is being given by

true American sense Of the word were rep

The 5000 had often seen Dave careering
along the streets at MONDAY or In the dead
