REMAINS EsCORrKD 10 BROOKkYN.
Not Over g 300 Men in Line, but Enormou
Crowds Along the Route.

Not Over 1900 Men in Line, but Enormous
Crowds Along the Route.
The procession which accompanied
the remains to Brooklyn was in many re-
spects the most remarkable ever W.T.
messed in New York. The catafalque
was a magnificent creation Of black
broadcloth, and at the base was twelve
feet wide. There were five steps lead
ing TO the top. The horses, Of jet black.
were covered with black silk netting
and were led by sixteen grooms. The
only emblem on the top Of the casket
was a small white wreath. The orgah-
cations that paid honor to George by
following the funeral car fell into line
from the side streets OF Madison av-
enue and below Forty-secopd street.
There was some disappointment in the
number OF followers, and it was con-
servativeay estimated that when the
party passed Thirty-fourth street on
Madison avenue there were less than q
500 men in line.
There were marks Of respect all alorg
the line. Barred heads were the rule on
both sides Of the street and many men
and women were noticed to be crying.
When the open space in front Of the
hotels in Twenty-third and Twenty
fifth streets was reached there was an
enormous crowd. There were a number
Of old men here who seemed to be
greatly interested, for they stood with
barred heads from the time the police
appeared until nearly all the procession
had passed them. When the south side
Of Union square was reached the band
that had preceded the catafalQue :cll
out OF line and taking a stand on the
eidewaM played q diree while the re-
mainder OF the procession passed.
1t was 8 o'clock when the head Of the
column rounded into Broadway again
at Fourteenth street. An expeotan3
crowd Of George worshipers thanked
Broadway at Canal street. Here it was
noticed that there was much weeping
The procession from that point to City
Hall park was without incident save
for q repetition Of the scenes OF erie,
which had been manifested along tht
entire route.

but two avenues Of escape. The shorter
route was by way of the slope, which
was a sea of flames. and the other
route was via cross-cuts to gangways
which lead to an air shaft nearly mile
from the spot where the men were work

Fire kept them out Of the slope, and
the smoke which bs cked into all the
workings prevented escape through the
cross-cuts. Miners and city firemen in
their efforts to fight the fire in thc

of forcing the air current downward in

Memorial Day.

Last weeks meeting ofCanby Post,
q. A. II. selected the following COM
mittee to act in conjunction with
the citizens in arranging for Memori-
al services: Commander l.. ID. Sweet
land, Rev. Bates and Frank Myers.
1t is the wish of the old soldiers that
the citizens take general charge and
arrange the program. Steps should
be taken right away to secure a
speaker. The Sunday service preced-
ing Memorial day will be held this
year at the Evangelical church, con-
Quoted by Rev. Bates, on Sunday May
%, and regular decoration services
on Saturday May 29th. This is in
accordance with a general e. A.. r.
rule to observe the day before when
ever the Both occurs on Sunday, as
it does this year.
1t is to be hoped the citizens will
heartily join in concentrating this
day to the heroic dead. Soon there
will be none OF the ''old boys left to
join the exercises. The Grand Army
is dying at the rate OF 100 a day.
Every fifteen minutes of the twenty
four hours the final tap sounds for
some one who wore the blue. Each
year puts under the sod more old
soldiers than there are enlisted men
and officers in the entire United States
army. Time is carrying them off
faster in the nineties than bullets did
in the sixties. The war lasted four
years to a month. In those tour
years $4,000 men fell in battle on
the Union side. But now between
$4,000 and 10000 die in the course
OF nature each succeeding twelve
months. And for every three Union
veterans who 60 to fame's eternal
camping grounds two Confederates
are numbered with the dead.
