The train's speed lessenod gradually as it
oinergod from the cut north of the station,
and hundreds of peeple wero seen lining the
way en olther side. Again the report of n
gun shook the still air that bofero the coming
storm was almost painfully hushed. Then
at 3:27 the train rolled slowly past the little
station at Garrison's, and thore was shown
the tribute from Ills old student home te the
dead seldier. Along the line el the rnll way
belore the station the cadets Ireni West Point
wero drawn up In line nt "prosent arms." All
the orators of the Pest wero near with un
covered brads, and the band from the Pest
with muflled drums, was placing "Sweet
Spirit, Hear my Prayer." The strains were
net loud, but subdued, nnd tiiey blended
wiin me mutterltig thunder ever the river
en the mountains, where the storm had
swept down en te tlie flagstnll'-tip that shot
up from the trees. And nil the while, nt
Intervals of flve seconds, came the sound of
a gun. As the little station passed out or

The funeral train had again quickened

THE CROWD HUSHED TO SILENCE.
The precession then took up the line of
I 'march, General Hancock at the head. Every--
where ns tue cetun passed lieads wero bareu.
The huge crowd was silent, absolutely voice
less. Frem far ahead, howevor, was heard
the quarreling of police and peeple, but
where the precession passed all was still,
save for the steady tramp of the marchers,
the rumble of the heavy guns, the tap or
muffled drums and the dirges of the band.
More than an hour was consumed in reach
ing the City hall. Dismounting, General
Hancock ascended the steps and passed into
the building. A detachment of twolve men
from the Brooklyn U. S. Grant Pest, Ne. 327,
lifted the cellln from its resting-place and
bore it te the steps. The mournful music
and the deathlike sllonce of the onlookers
made the scene wonderfully impressive
The peeple bowed thelr bared heads as the
precession passed Inte City hall.

As the great black car relled toward Fifth

flashings or glittering steel. The bugle
sounds grew leuder and the black plumes en

twolve black horses moved forward. A burst
of fun oral musle swelled through the air and
thrilled the heart or the multitude, which
uncovered and looked with moistened eyes

A frozen sea of bayenets melted nt n slngle

Thore was a wild clatler of hoofs, nnd n
line ei mounted pollce swept down Fifth

driving It back. Every window ler a mlle
wasalive with faces, and the multitude en
the sidewalk was sodenso that it looked llke

and tlie crowd applauded the soldier and his
brilliantly uniformed stall. When the
general roached Twenty-thlrd Btreet he took
his piace nt the head of the column nnd the

passed with roversed arms nnd Blew steps,
while the air was filled with solemn niiisle
THE OOIlTEOli.
First came the police, followed by General
Hancock and his stair. Then came a battery
of the Fifth United States nrtlllery with thelr
standards draped. A battalion of nrtlllery
nrmed as infantry next marched along with
rigid lines and walling musle from the light
battery band of Governer's Island. A group
of scarlet buglers walked in the rear or the
band.
New all the bells wero telling. Men nnd
women were standing Imrohcaded ns the
sembre chariot was seen In the distance The
river et black that lined tliosidewalks opened
Inte n sea of black at Madisen Bquare, whero
the menuments of Farragut and Wertii
looked down upon the moving cavalcade
Twe companies of marines, with erange
opnulets nnd snowy liolmets, marched in

funeral chorus lrem "The Martyrs."

muflled drums filled every pause A line or
white plumed olllcers rede behind the colonel
or the Ninth regiment and then came billows
or dark blue coats and block helmets rising
nnd falling regularly. The Eleventh regi

reached and the fife and drum corps took up
the burden of the mourning song. A car
riage containing the Itev. Dr. Newinau, side
by slde with Drs. Douglas and Shrudy, fol

Oh Farragut! Farragut I Here is he who
led the armies of the Union, llore is he who
thundered through the Wilderness and saved
the nation at lllclimeud. Here is Grant, the
soldier, the statesman, the man. Here he is
with peacerul, upturned face and folded
arms. Yeu cannot doff that eip of yours,
and all the multltude is bareheaded.
The most tender expressions were heard
en nil sides from the peeple as the here's re

men cried and ladies pressed handkerchief
te thelr eyes. The rich and peer alike
uncovered, nnd all the mevable lings
en the reute were dipped. And it was well
that a wall or bayonets steed between the
crowd and the catafalque or loving hands
would hae sol7ed the sac red drapery and

Se the noble precession moved through
the draped city, past n hundred thousand
revercnt spectators and through long lines of
pollcemcn. All flags wero at half-mast and
the streets wero at times walls et black. The
space In front of the Fifth avenue hotel was
packed from curb te curb, and through the
middle et the mass a line was cut by the
precession. Every steep was Jammed with
spectators. They hung out or windows,
watched through transom and poered evor
reef tops. A mere impressive spoctacle
could net be Imagined.
DOWN RROADWAT.
When the precession wheeled through
Waverley place Inte Broadway a little girl
threw a handful of flowers from a window.
The certege moved en through the miles of
black draperies which all New Yorkers have
seen en Broadway. As the car nnd its pur
ple casket advanced the murmuring or the
crowds sounded llke the sea hushing after a
storm. It was gonulne, heartfelt emotion
stirred up in thousands of hearts by the
sweet plaintive music and the presonce of
the dead soldier in the streets he loved.
Awny down Broadway the crowd stretched,
new lilllug the street from wall

CANNOT INCREAiK TUli DEUT.
The following Is the opinion or the city so
licitor en the question or Increasing the city
debt by creating a lean te entend the water
main en Orange street, from Lime street
westward.
I have examined the question in regard te
the legality of the propesod ordinance te
extend a 20-Inch water main out Orange
street and I find the ordinance would net be
legal, for the reason that the construction of
the supreme court In the act of April 20, 1875,
as declared in Wheeler vs. Philadelphia,
"7th V. F. Smith, pace 332. would make the
debt of the city or Lancaster in excess or the
limit as made by the assessed valuation or
the taxable property or the city.

Club Return of the Lancn.ter t'lsy eri.
Yesterday afternoon an Interesting and
very funny game of base ball took plnce nt
McQrann's park between two colerod clubs.
The ene was the Black Diamond ei this city,
and the' ether was called the Nameless, and
hailed from Mt Jey. Probably ene hundred
nnd fllty peeple were In thonudlenco, but itls
Hkely that the gate rocelpts did net show that
number. The crowd was made up largely
of young whlte men and boys who see med
te have ceme te enjey the sport of guying
the players. The two nlnes prosentod a very
funny appearance en the fleld, as thore wero
olghteon dlfforent kinds of uniform. The
make-up was wnnderiul and the sceno look leok loek
od something llke the picture used by
Thatcher, Primrose A West's minstrels te
ndvortlse their burlesque ball game. Many
of the players wero pantaloons, which had
been cut oil at the knoe, but each managed
te have two stockings alike The pltcher of
the visiting club, who was n very black
darkey, looked gorgeous In a red, whlte and
blue shirt
The game was called at 3 o'clock and the
Players went te work with great earnestness.
The catcher of the Lancaster team was a
whlte boy and the visitors wero net pleased
with tholdeaof a man of anether color being
rung in. In the early part of the game the
Diamonds had overvthlnir their own wav.but
the visitors tied the score by making four
runs ;in the fourth Inning. In the lirth
Inning the whlte boy went Inte the
box and then there was howl from the
visitors who thought a trick had been
played upon them by their opponents and
thai the fatter only put the whlte fellow en
the nine In order te work him into the box.
This matter was arranged finally, howevor,
and the whlte boy pitched the remainder of
the game He was given n catcher who was
no geed whatever. He missed overy third
strlke and the Mount Jey boys at ence shot
ahead wlnnitigcaslly. The rules under which
the game was played have net been used
In this city bolore and they must have been
written for this match. The whlte umpire
did net understand them and many of his
decisions did net suit the visitors. The
players or both teams tumbled around tbe
irreund and roll ever each ether se often that
It looked llke a game of leap frog.
The gang lu the grand stand could
net remain qulet and they kept yell
ing at the players wheuover n ball was
mulled. Their remarks seunded something
llke, "Yeu could catch itlf It wasachlcken,"
"Oct it In n coop nnd then held It" "Yeu
would de better en a roost" "Paste her
Snuffy," "Knock the seam out, Stockings,"
Va The catcher of tlie Lancaster club be
came rattled nt these remarks and this may
account for his many bad plays. The ethers
did the best they could. The score, by in
nings, Is as fellows, but the hits and errors
may be wrong :
Nameless (110 12 0 2 7 x 10

The Athletic club is about as big a let of

with a geed track and no weight, the Lan

inning, and Injured, be badly that tbe sur

The PbUadelphiaa were again shut out by
the Chicago yesterday by a score or 0 te 0.
Fer the first two innings the game was finely
contested, but the home team became dorner-.
allzed in ihe third and allowed the visitors te
score flve unearned runs. The crowd et 2,000
or mere spectators were be disgusted with
the playing of the Philadelphia In this In
ning that they vigorously hissed the home
team.
The Lancaster Club'! Future.
The members of the Lancaster club ar
rived home from Virginia at 0:15 last ovon evon oven
lng. Tliey did net peem surprised at the fate
of the club, as most of them had oxpected It
torseme'tlmo past An effort has been made
by several gontieinan who had no connection
with the I.ancaster club te reorganize the
club, kcep the players together and play out
tlie schedule, using the Ironsides grounds.
The players all are attached te Lancaster and
would like te remain In this city If they
could see their way out Nearly every
man en tlie nine has received eilers
from clubs in the large associations and
probably seme of thorn will be bard te held
liere. President C. II. Byrne, et the Brook
lyn club, arrived In tow n this aftornoen. It
is understood that he Is alterMcTamanyand
wants him badly. Oldfield, Hyland and the
ethers have many places te go, but none of
the team have decided what they will de If
the players agrce te remain bore and reorgan
ize the club under new management
the future gam os of the Eastern League will
be played en the Ironsides ground. The
nine have net been paid eir by the Lancaster
peeple as yet and until then they don't
knew what they will de It Is likely that
several will Icave town, howevor, in any
ovent

AQUILLA JOSEl)' CASE.
The Cllll Sen Ice Commission Explode Charges
Agnlutt Indianapolis' I'estuiusU'r.
The civil service commission en Wednesday
made its report te tlie president en the case
ei'Aqullla Jenes, pestmasterat Indianapolis.
The charges against the official wero or re
moving subordinates for tlie purpoe of
securing patronage publicly expressing an
intention te disregard the rules in selecting
from among theso certified for appolntment
only applicants of bis own party, aud third,
that In the examination held en tbe 10th day
of June last at his office the marking and
grading of the papers of these exainlued was
no irregularly or, unfairly cenducted as net
..to.dejustlce te thnapplicauts.
rrrti answer of Postmaster Jenes te the
charges accompanies the papers submitted.
Commissioner Tbeman and Chief Examiner
Lyman proceeded te Indianapolis and made
a thorough examination. On tbe first charge
they report that It does net appear that the
postmaster has made any appointment or re
moval In violation of any prevision et the
civil service act Aa te the second charge the
ovldence shows that the postmaster in con
vorsatien declared a purpese te make re
movals and appointments according te a
theory of political discrimination quite re
pugnant te the spirit nnd lotter of tlie rules.
"It is due totlie postmasterto state that
he declares himself net te have been well In
formed as te the lull cllbct or the rules in
regard te political discrimination nt the time
et the conversation, and that what he stated
as te selecting theso et his own party and
rejecting these et the ether had reference te
places net te be filled through the examina
tions. In dismissing this part of the subject,
as te which it is net pessible te rocencilo the
testimony, the commission thinks the post
master had net, and that he has net uew, any
Intention of resisting the rules."
The fact that ene of the original examiners
is still en the examining beard and thattbree
oftbe first flve places made vacant by re
mevals were filled by promotions from tlie old
empleyes are net without significance, tlie
commissioners think, as te the purpese or tlie
postmaster. They say that while the Inves
tigation or the third charge has shown that
while the examination was net as thoroughly
supervised ns was desirable the most search
ing inquiry failed te show that there was
nny ciieating attempted or any Injustice
done It is a significant fact that net ene
slngle person, whother marked high or low
or altogether marked out, though tlie oppor
tunity has been ample, has complained thnt
any injustice has been dene him or that any
favor has been shown te any ethor per
son. The report closes by saying that with due
allowance for inoxperleuco the commission
regards the action et the oxaminers as cred
itable te their intelligence and sense of Jus
tice and finds net tlie least occasion for dis
turbing tbe examinations.
