serious accident. A man standing upon
some railing overbalanced himself, and
was impaied and killed.
The heat was so intense that hundreds
of people tainted, and, owing TO the
packed crowds, it was with difficulty
they could be succored and removed.
Tho action of President Casimlr Perier
in attending the funeral received the APP
proyal OF the people. By some it was re-
garded simply as a mark of respect for
the memory of his pred ecessor. By others
it was regarded ss a defiance of anarch-
ism.
At several points the President was
greeted with applause, which was, how
ever, speedily hushed, in view OF the
soleinnity of the occasion. Marshal Cam
robert, the last of the Marshals of France,
was supported by two officers and the
beautiful young girls, representing Al
sace- Lorraine, were also applauded.
A panic occurred at the arcades of the
Rue de la RIvoli, near the Rue Cambot.
AS the end of the procession passed an
officers horse SHE'D and backed into the
crowd. Those behind the first few lines
of the crowd were not aware OF the cause
of the disturbance. and some foolish per-
son shouted, "a bomb ~ The affrighted
sight-seers made desperate rush in their
efforts TO escape what they believed to be
an impending explosion. Stands and
benches packed with people were over
turned, and some persons fell TO the
ground and were trampled under foot.
The procession was stopped, and when
the police succeeded in reassuring the
crowds it was found that, although num-
berS were hurt, no one was seriously in
jured. The procession reached the Cathe-
dral of Norre Dame at noon, where a most
impressive scene was witnessed.
General BOriuS, surrounded by all the
Generals and officers of his staff, stood on
the left-hand of the Plain Du Parvis,
from the funeral Car the officers all sa-
luted together, the troops presented arms.
the trumpetS srang out grand salute,
the muffied drums rolled and the bells
tolIed mournfully, the whole filling the
air with a strange, wailing sound which
echoed far and wide.
The Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal
Richard, then emerged from the cathe-
dral, followed by the whole chapter and
officials at the removal of the casket,
which was carried slowly and sOlemnly
into the sacred edifice, which resounded
with the swelling tones of the grand
organ as Saiut Saens played the Beethoven
funeral march.
Notre Dame was also black and silver,
intermixe ed with ermine reaching to the
apex. The banner of Joan of Arc was
yelled with crepe, and the magnificent
pulpit was completely hidden with black
cloth. The lower part of the outer walls
was hung with black ermine border vel
vets, the upper galleries were covered
with somber draperies, and between the
pillars were about fifty black velvet ban
ners having crown OF silver laurels IN
their center.
The clergy, headed by the Archbishop
OF Paris, preceded the bier mp the aisle to
a monumental catafalque displacing the
altar which usually stands at that spot
The cataialQue was upon dias ten feet
high, and was surrounded by eight i'm
mense lighted flambeaaX. The catafalque
stood out weirdly, illumina ed By these
tlalnbeaux and sixteen candelabrae
vast editice was dimly lighted by the
rays of the sun, which filtered through
the magnificent stained glass windows.
The galleries of the forum were packed
with people who had been able to obtain
admittance by special order.
President Casimir Perier took his seat
in the private inclosure around the pull
pit. Behind him were seated the men,
bers OF the late Presidents civil and mill
tary household. The first row of chairs
was occupied by the late M. Carnots
sons, his brother and his son-in-law. The
second row was occupied by Premier
Dupuy and the other Ministers. In the
other row OF seats sat the members of the
diplomatic corps and the official delega-
tions.
The choir of Notre Dame and that of
the Conservatoire de Musique executed
the Liturgic;il chants and two numbers of
Gounod's "Mors ct Vita" Nj. Felix
Feure, the famous baritone, being the
soIoist. The plaintive notes of "Dies
Irae" were sung by the choir, and II.
Faure's rendering of PIE kesu" from
Saint Saens' requiem. This produced
profound impression.
chbishop of Paris delivered an allocu-
ton. The Cardinal said: Before this
mourning which has afflicted every
French heart without distinction of opin-
ian, one recognizes that France, i'll spite
of moments OF forgetiulneSS and error,
always regards the Chief of State as the
representative OF divine authority. The
late President was an upright man in
public as well as in private life, and
these simple words have been repeated
since his death, and constitute a greater
eulogy than orations. May this life,
sacrihced TO duty, prove great lesson TO
all French hearts,"
The religious ceremony in the cathedral
was concluded at 2 p. NJ, when the pro-
cession reformed and moved across the
river TO the Pantheon. The scenes wit
messed during the passage of the process
sion from the palace TO NOtre Dame were
repeated as it slowly made It's way to the
Pantheon. There was number OF spOn-
taneous outbursts of cheering, especially
when President Casimir Perer was re-
coghized, but out OF respect for the dead
these outburStS OF enthusiasm were
Speadily hushed.
The funeral car and it's escort arrived at
the Pantheon at 200 p. NJ, amid the
booming OF salute of l0l guns, fired by
a company OF artillery stationed in the
JarCin du Luxembourg. At brief inter-
walls the mas-ed bands played funeral
marches as the procession was winding
its way from the cathedral. At the Pan
theon the casket was removed amid IL
trumpet salute and the roar of mufiied
drums.
a number of funeral orations were de-
livered, and then the casket containing
the remains of the murdered President
was lowered into the vault, and all then
dispersed.
