Cruz -Ardell Out of Danger.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-A most
impressive funeral service and one
combining Masonic rites and military
tributes was held this afternoon over
the remains of General John McComb,
Secretary of the California Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
ex-President of the Olympic Club, ex-
Warden of the State Prison at Folsom,
for many years Brigadier- General OF
the National Guard of California, a
'49er. an old newspaper man of this
city and a member of the Masonic or
der.
The remains were brought over from
Oakland under the military escort of
the mounted signal corps of the Ma
tional Guard and taken to the Masonic
Temple, where California Lodge, No.
], Free and Accepted Masons, took
charge of the services, conducted in
King Solomon's Hall. The great room
was crowded beyond its seating capac-
ity when at 2 O'Clock General w. H. l..
Barnes, the old man eloquent, stepped
down from the platform and advancing
near to the great beautiful floral piece
in white lilacs at the head of the cas-
Iet, spoke of the unknown beyond, OF
the goodness and Kindness of his friend.
From the Masonic Temple the long
funeral cortege moved up Market street
and out Golden Gate avenue to Van
Ness, where the military opened ranks,
allowed the procession to pass through
and finally fell in at the rear. A little
further on the way to the Masonic
Cemetery the Knights Templar opened
out into two parallel columns, through
which the mourners passed, and lastly
the Masons themselves repeated the
performance of double columns before
taking their position in line again.
At the cemetery the Masons assem-
lied in circle about the grave, where
the final part of the funeral service
was performed.
