HAD To BORROW HEARsEs
A Sad state of Affairs In the Me-
trOpOIis of the Country.

trOpOIis of the Country
New York, August I7-In this city
yesterday were held 400 funerals and in
Brooklyn over 200 people were buried.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday saw more
burials than any seven days of which
the cemetery bookkeepers can find
record of. OF the 1870 persons who
died in this city last week nearly 500
died Thursday night, Friday and Satur-
day. Because of the difficulty of Sc
curing caskets, hearses. and carriages or
even undertakers' service beyond the
simple and most necessary, nearly all
the funerals for that period were de-
layed until today.
Thirtysix hearses were borrowed
from adjoining towns in New Jersey
and twelve from Philadelphia yester-
day and several New York undertakers
whose rush was over, loaned hearses to
Bro oklyn friends. Other hearses were
added to Brooklyn's supply from Long
Island towns, as there were nearly one
fourth of the weeks $40 dead in that
city still unburied. At the cemeteries
the crowds of visitors were enormous
and TIE tolling of the gate bells contin-
uous. So many graves had been called
for that the force of nearly 300 men at
Calvary had been increased by over 100
diggers, and the entire number worked
night and day.
