CHICAGO, May 3O.-Without ostenta-
ton, as be6tted his life among his
people, but with the military and civic
accompaniment which ran even foot
with his achievements as soldier, jurist
and statesman, the remains of Walter
Quinton Gresham, general in the Union
armies, judge Of the Federal courts and
Secretary of State OF the United States,
were temporarily laid to rest in Oak
wood Cemetery this afternoon, amid the
flower strewn graves OF his comrades
in-arms; graves decorated ty the hands
of men who had fought them on many
bloody field, and in the shadow of tho
monument just dedicated in honor of
the valor OF those who had given their
lives for the Confederate cause
Almost while the echoes of the volley
fired over the Confederate buryinR
ground by the First Regiment of State
militia and while the bugle blare and
taps" were still sounding, and the
smoke from their rifles was still float
ing over the field of peace, the cortege
OF the dead Secretary OF State filed In
through the gates OF the cemetery. 1t
was remarkably fitting climax to the
remarkable ceremonies which had lust
closed that the remains of the man who
claimed the allegiance OF both the
North and South should be deposited
the keystone of the arch of recemented
friendship, by which a visible sign had
just been unveiled there.
For as soldier he had won the re.
epecs of those who fought him; as a
jufist he had gained the love OF the
common people, and as Secretary OF
State in a Democratic administration
he had commanded the support of the
people of the South as we'll as of the
North.
at Fordham, on the Boso River, the
funeral train was switched to the tracks
of the Illinois Central, arriving at
Sixty-third street at Q o'clock this after
noon. The procession was headed by
the escort OF honor, consisting OF the
troops Of all arms from Fort Sheridan.
These were followed by the honorary
pail bearers, and next cam Q the funeral
car, with the active pail bearers walk
ing on either side.
Next rode the members of the late
Secretary's family and the Presidential
party, and the rear of the cortege was
brought up by the members of the
Loyal Legion, Grand Army Republic
veterans, judges Of the courts, State and
municipal officers, civic societies and
citizens.
The entire line OF march was crowded
with people who respectfully barred their
heads as the cortege pAssed. The ser
vices, conducted by the Rev. s. J. Nc
Pherson, OF the Second Presbyterian
Church, were impressive. but simple,
consisting merely of scripiural read
ings. hymn by the choir and prayer.
At their conclusion the remains were
temporarily deposited in the receiving
vault OF the cemetery. No salute was
Hired, the ceremonies concluding with
taps" The train had been held at
63rd street and the Presidential party
returned to it, and at once started On
the return trip to Washington.

The most interesting spit at this
term OF court Vas one Ter SANDER
brought by Jefferson Frdzee, OF
Cranesyille, against Henry Albright
of that place. The trouble started
by Albright. who runs mill and
carding machine, sending some
wool or rolls to man named Friend
by Frazee and Friend claimed he
did not receive 1t all. Then Al.
bright accused Frazee of stealing
part OF the load and wrote him a
postal card 20 THAT effect. At this
Frazee got offended aud employed
Z. j. Crogan to bring suit for
$4,000 damages to his character.
The case was ably contested on both
sides. The defendants attorneys
were Messrs. Brown & Hyde and
Neil j. Fortney.
The following jury had charge Of
the case 1. w. Criss, Forman,

verdict of $25 for Frazee, and Al

will make it cost him at least 500,
besides ms attorneys fees. The
jury was considerably divided on it,
some did not want to allow any
