 Atlanta. December 29-(special.) 1.-The funeral of the late William Allen Fuller, famous hero of the Andrews raid took place this afternoon at o'clock, the ser vices being conducted by the Rev. John E. White of the Second Baptist church at the residence. 337 Washington street Be- sides the many other friends who attend ed, the house was crowded with Confed- crate veterans, several hundred of them being present in addition to the special detail from Atlanta Camp No. 159, U. c. V., of which Captain Fuller was a mem Der. Banked in great profusion around the caslket were flowers of many kinds, the tributes of loving hands and hearts. Captain Fuller was fond of flowers, par ticularly of roses. and cultivated them with his own hands,
 Among the floral pieces was a large wreath of roses woven by the devoted hands of his daughters. Another beauti- fu design was a large pillow of white roses from the Saturday Night club, of which his son, W. A. Fuller, Jr., is a. member. Especially noticeable in the room where the funeral services were conducted was a large painting of the engine "Texas," with Captain Fuller standing upon the tender. It was with the Texas that Captain Fuller and those associated with him chased and re- captured the engine General" which had been stolen by Andrews and his band. The painting was presented to Captain Fuller by W. S. Kurtz a young Chicago artist, and was highly prized by him. Friends hung the picture near the casket ~ist before the services began. Follow ing the funeral ceremony the body was taken to Oakland cemetery and placed in a receiving vault, where it will remain for several days before being inferred in the family lot.
 Talk of Hills Successor.
 No new chancellor of the state univer- sity to succeed the late Walter B. Hill will be chosen before the June meeting of the trustees, say members of the board in Atlanta. The selection of a suc- cessor to Chancellor Hll Is a matter to which considerable careful thought and attention will have to be given. In the meantime Prof. David c. Barrow of the chair of mathematics and dean of the faculty, will continue to perform the duties of chancellor as he has done dur ing the illness of Chancellor Hill. At their next meeting, which will be held in the near future, the trustees will desig- the diplomas of those students who will graduate In June, in the place of the chancellor and at their June meeting a new chancellor will probably be chosen.
 Hill Very Successful.
 There are few, perhaps, who know of the beginning of the movement to bring Chancellor Hill to the service of the state university. Tt was started shortly after the resignation of Dr. C. F. Bowman as president of Emory college, at Oxford, Ga. When Dr. Bowman resigned and the meeting of Emory trustees was about to be held, Robert E. Park, state treas urer, who is a member of the Emory board. suggested the name of Walter B. Hill to Vice President W. P. Patillo as Dr. Dowman's successor Both were struck with the force of the suggestion and upon arriving at Covington they sent a joint telegram to Mir. Hill. asking his permission to present his name to the trustees. This MT. Hill declined, saying that he preferred to continue at that time in the practice of his profession, the law.
 Shortly following this Captain Park, In conversation with the late Washington Dessau, of Macon. an ardent friend of the State university, suggested that it would be wise to put forward Mir. Hill s name for chancellor of the State univer- slty, whenever the time came for choos- ing a new chancellor Mg Dessau was likewise deeply impressed with this sug- gestion and at the meeting of tho Georgia Bar association at Warm Springs in the summer following. Mr. Dessau. Senator Bacon and Captain Park took up the matter with those most interested in the success and welfare of the State uni name was everywhere prominently asso- cldteu Nlin lHe CndnceHolSnlp pllor to the meeting of the trustees, and the ap- peals which came to him were of such nature that it was impossible for hin, to decline it when the tender was made | by the trustees. How ably and well he has filled that position and with what great advantage to the university. and the progress of learning, the people of Georgia well know and they are proud to do him honor
