Chicago, Nov. 1.-The remains of Hon.
Carter II. Harrison, Chicago's murdered
mayor, We're laid to rest to-day in Il tomb
ut Graceland cemetery. Never i'll the
! history Of Chicago has such an immense
concourse of people followed body to
! the cemetery, attesting to the esteem and
veneration in which the dead chief was
held. The body was taken from the city
hall to the Church of the Epiphany at
10 o'clock. The route from the city
| hall was lined with people, and the streets
| in the vicinity of the church were almost
blockaded. The church was crowded to
| srffocation. At II o'clock the services
| according to the episcopal ritual were con-
! Quoted by Rev. T. N. Morrison, Jr. The
casket was then placed in the hearse.
| The active pail bearers were eight police
captains who were selected by Chief of
| Police Brennan. The honorary pail bear
ers, chosen by the mayors family, We're
the following: Thomas w. Palmer, III.
n. Higinbotham, Gen. Nelson, A. Miles,
| ex-Gov. Richard Oglesby, Judge Lyman,
Trumbull,. e. A. Winston, Gen. Fitzsim-
mons, H. J. Jones, c. X. G.. Billings,
| Adolph Kraus, p. D. Armour, Frank
Wenter, ex-Mayor John A. Roach, ex-
Mayor Joseph Medill, ex-Mayor Hemp
stead Washburn, Judge Francis Adams
and r. A. Waller. The procession was
then formed The column was a large
one and was headed by a platoon of
police. Following came a band which
played funeral dirges. Then came United
States troops, guards, police and fire de-
partment, followed by the catalfa. Fol
lowing this were the relatives, city, coun-
ty and state officials, secret and political
societies, private citizens in carriages and
on foot. The route to the cemetery was
lined with people There were no ser.
vices at the cemetery. These will take
place later and will be private. Business
throughout the city was generally sus.
pended and flags were at half-mast
Yesterday after con the body was re
moved from she mansion on Ashland ave
nue. to the city hail. the cortege was q
lengthy one, and the distance to the city
hall, two miles, through the heart of the
city, was not covered for a considerable
time. Following the carriages containing
the city ofticiols and mourners came j;
| great throng, resolved to accompany thu
comparative small cortege proper to it:
destination. Simplicity was the notabl,
feature of the obsequies. The hearse wa
plain black and bore no waving plumes
nor did heavy trappings adorn the blacl
steeds which drew it. No strains O
solemn music were heard as the process
sion passed down Jackson boulevard t
the great gray stone building where one
Carter Harrison was supreme TIL
sweet strains Of Chopin's funeral marc]
toated out upon the quiet air from the in
struments of 200 musicians stationed o.
the great steps Of the La Sale stree
entrance to the city hall. In an instan
the multitude which filled the street a
far as the eye could reach became eve
more quiet, if possible, than during tn
minutes preceding. Hardly sound wa
heard save the rumbling of wagons O.
some distant side street. AS by inspira
| ton coming to all the members of tn
vast concourse at the same instant, me
: lifted their hats and stood with uncovere
heads awaiting the arrival of the pee
1 pies dead. The casket was placed in th
center Of the rotunda and all day lon
. two lines of people passed rapidly by
! looking only at the black casket. TIL
: face the people looked upon was the on
they had been accustomed to in ift
Death had wrought no perceptibl
, changes. The late mayor appeared to b
sleeping.
