HAWLEY BURIED.
Last Honors Paid to States. man in Hartford
 To-Day.

Hartford, Mar 21-No greater mark Of respect could have been accorded to General Joseph k. Hawley, than that Which was shown to his memory, as his body was borne from the state capitol to its final resting place this af- terno01l. The weather was dreary, the Falling rain coating the trees and sidewalks along the line of March and many thousands of people uncovered as the body passed them.
 AS state funeral, memorial services were held at the capitol, while those Of religious nature were carried out at the Asylum Hill avenue church. At the capitol Governor Roberts deliver ed his eulOgy, which was as follows
 'The action of the general assembly of the state of Connecticut meeting in joint convention upon this occasion is htting mark of respect to this dis tinGuis h.d soldier and statesman.
 General Hawley's long and faithful service is worthy of the highest recog- milton which your honorable body can accord. For forty years he has been closely identified with the affairs of this nation and of this state.
 As d young man when this country was considering whether it should sanction the continuance of human bondage, he gave up his time and ell ergy in advocating that this nation should not be half slave and half free. but that it should be land where all men were free. In the contest which followed, he offered his life to his coun- try, and rose high in her military ser vice. As in the beginning he was ac- tuated by the highest patriotism. so, on through the years. he devoted him self to the interests of his state and nation, serving as governor. representa- tive in congress, United States senator, officer of high rank in the national army. and in many positions of trust and honor. All these high positions be filled with distinction and ability.
 ''rhe state in grateful recognition of these services. expresses her sincere and deep appreciation of the record Of his life. and desires to pay him her grateful tribute. In this brief moment, as we pause beside his mortal re, mains, little can be told of all that he was, and all that he did. Permit me to suggest that, in my opinion. it would be most fitting and proper for this gen. eral assembly, before its final adjourn ment. to meet in joint convention and by eulOgy more complete than this oc- casiOn permits honor his life and work
 "The citizens of this state will draw lessons of inspiration and strength from his career-a life full of inspiring motives, high resolves and patriotic ac- tions. Greatly beloved in the past and to-day. his memory will be revered and cherished in future years by an ad miring and grateful public. Such a memory as this deserves to be handed down from one generation to another. Connecticut has honOred him while he lived. she pays her simple tribute to him in the hour of his death, and she would do well to express the love ana respect of her citizens for this patriot, soldier and statesman. by erecting upon this Capitol grounds fitting monument to his memory"
 From the Capitol to the church and later to Cedar Hill cemetery the body was escorted by military corps. The remains lay in state in the rotunda of the Capitol from 9 o'clock this mOrn- ing until noon, and many hundreds of people, young and old. passed by the coffin.
 The general assembly met at 12::o and in each branch the notice of Gen eral Hawley's death was given out by the presiding officer. \ resolution for out of respect to the memory of the dead senator was passed. and a motion was carried for joint memorial service in the house chamber.
