Hartford. April 22.-The state funeral for Governor George L. Lilley will be held at the state capitol on Saturday morning at 10 occlock, and the burial will take place in Waterbury. The military and naval forces or Connecti- cut have been ordered to assemble ear ly Saturday and to be transported to Hartford and Waterbury to participate in the service. Owing, however, to the difficulties of transportation the forces of the state will be divided and VIII not be mobilzed at Hartford.
 Military Escort at Capitol.
 The military escort at the capitol will be the First and Second compan- ies of the Governors Foot Guards, the Horse Guards and the First regiment of infantry. The Foot Guards and possi- bly the Horse Guards will go by special train to Waterbury, following inmedt- ately after the special train bearing the mem bers of the family, and the train to be used by the legislative committee which was selected today, and which 3n all will be made up of seven sena- tors and fifty representatives.
 The Second regiment of .infaEtry, Colonel Geddes commanding, the Coast artillery, and the Naval battalion have been ordered to Waterbury to become the main body of the escort in that city. Honors Will surpass Any Ever Ac-
 corded to a Citizen of Connecticut.
 The tentative plan of the joint com snittee on arrangements provided for mobilization of the entire force of the state at Hartford and the entratning of all commands for the trip to Wa terbury. But the old New England road. over which the trains will move is single track road for part of the way and the problem of moving so many trains within a reasonable time was a complex one. As it is, the hon. ors to be paid to the late governor will surpass any ever accorded a citizen of Connecticut.
