Mr.. Rockefellow OF Middletown had
the arrangements in charge. He char-
tered the car over the Erie road. fur
nished the porters, arranged with w.
w. Terwilliger to ook after the de-
tails at This end, and even secured the
presence Of Mrs. Van Norris clergyman
to accompany the remains TO the grave.
The drilled porters to act as pallbear-
ers were probably the feature. that at
tracted most attention from the time
of the train arriving until the casket
was lowered in the grave. Everything
was dom with the precision OF clock
work at the word of command. The
movements were directed somewhat as
a captain would drill his military COM
pany. yet in such low tone of voice
that the spectators scarcely realized
that a word had been spoken. Straps.
lift" Handles, march," Lift, should
ers, march," were among the commands
and explain themselves. The men were
colored walters at hotels, were cos
TUNED in fun dress suits. and on ar
irving az the cemetery removed their
silk tiles and adjusted silk skull aps
which they wore until the remains
were laid at rest.
Mr.. Rockefellow said, in response TO
a question, that at the outset there
was a little advers criticism to taking
colored men for the place. but lately
this has changed, and the demand for
their services is becoming general. n
colored walters are always in posses
sion of good dress suits. they are gem
orally at leisure at the hour set for fu-
~nerals. are trained to obey orders. and
as a general thing intelligent enough
to work in harmony n with method.
He says his experience with hired white
porters has been the reverse OF this,
and in many cases the invited bearers
accede very unwillingly to the unpleas-
ant duty. and invariably find IL m
they are not prepared to execute prop
erly. especially where a casket is to be
carried down narrow stairways or
turned in short Railways.
