marching behind his coffin. Municipal

An Immense Concourse.
Long before o'clock this afternoon,

course began gathering along the short
route leading to the entrance of Mont

lie was completely excluded from mid
day. The immediate vicinity of the
house was surrounded by a Gordon of
police. through which only relatives
and intimate friends of lola were al
lowed to pass. Facing the house was
drawn up a double line of infantry.
by a captain on horseback.
The soldiers were there TO render the
honors due to a deceased Of
