EVENING BULLETIN
Friday, September 30,1870.
the Attitude of bin si a.
; Wfi published yesterday a despatch. from
Ixmdon'to the New York World in which an
effort was made to prove that Russia intends to
protest against dismemberment of France by
Prussia and to'declare war if its demands are
hot heeded. The evidence advanced by this
tlespatch is,tolerably strong, although somo of
the most important assertions are unsupported
by proof. The statements that the Russian
Minister at Berlin has threatened Prussia with
war, and' that Lord Lyons , has Warned the
English, cabinet fcbata conflict is imminent,
may or may not be true; but there is no doubt
of the faeftbat Russia is making extraordinary
preparations,forwar in some quarter, and that
troops are being massed upon the frontier of
Prussia. The indications, recently, have been
that the Czar meditated an assault on Turkey.
The time "is exceedingly favorable for the ful
fillment of the. traditional policy of Russia in
. the East, for, of the two powers which guaran
teed the safety of the ,Sultan, *ono is helpless
and exhausted, while the other —seems
committed to a policy of peace at any
price. It would be the most natural
thing imaginable for Russia to enter into an
agreement' with Prussia by which the Czar
should-wYgage to permit seizure of French ter
ritory by Prussia provided the latter power re
gained from interference with Russian opera
tions in Turkey. But, at the same time,-it is
true that there is danger to Russia in the fact
. mentioned in the semi-official St. Petersburg
Gazette, Prussia, with her frontiers on
the side-ofFrasce guaranteed, and neutralized
» Austria to protect her sou!'
he in a position so to dispr
to check and easily to pai
Russia.”- When Prussia.
and secure position as this,
Russia constantly, and will be able to offer a
greater obstacle to’ the ambitious Russian de
signs upon the Baltic, than France' and Eng
land have ever done.
Of course any attempt to discover the true
character of the intentions of the Czar, in the
present crisis, must assume the form of con
jecture. It is quite impossible to declare ~
positively Whether he menaces Prussia or Tur-
key. In either case, however, we may say that
the situation is full of promise of fresh disturb
ance of the peace of Europe. If Turkey is
attacked England probably will be dragged into
war; if Prussia is interfered with she . will be
very likely to engage the huge northern power
in a desperate and bloody war. So we may be
assured that the prospect of permanent peace
in Europe'is more remote than ever. ,
PENN SQUARES AS AIN.
The staple of the argument in an article in
the last Sunday Dispatch, favoring Penn
Squares as the only proper site for the public
buildings, is, that the city will be giving away
that Which is worth two millions of dollars-
This fallacy rests upon the assumption-that
Penn Squares can be sold by the city, and the
proceeds placed in the Treasury. The, city,
however, cannot sell ’ this property, although
she may, under direction of the Legislature,
use or dispose of them as will " most - befit the
public good! This at once destroys the force of
the.reasoning in the Dispatch. If she cannot
Bell, it is talk of the moneyvalue to'
•• the city.
The next assertion is one which rather im
pugns the writer’s jnemory, for we do not -
doubt he is thoroughly familiar with the early
history of Philadelphia. He says that those
' who vpte for Washington Square ■null “show
bow unfit they are to enjoy the great trusts
winch Wiliam Penn, in his simplicity ” (that
a Is, we suppose he means, in not disposing of
\ Penn square for his private benefit), “ nearly
one hundred and ninety years ago,supposed that
they could understand and properly, value.’’
Again—by voting for Penn Squares we “secure
that site to the public use for which it was
originally intended.” The writer has pre
viously urged, in a protracted legal argument,
that Washington Squar e could not be used for
public buildings, and that Penn Square s could
he rfeed only lor municipal and judicial build
ings, rendering it a matter of surprise in
speeding so much time and labor in the en
deavor to persuade people to vote for Penn
rather than for Washington square. Now
what are the public uses to which Penh Squires
call be devoted ? Wbat description of public
use would please our Pounder, could he be
again with us in the flesh ?
In the first volume of Proud’s History of
Pennsylvania, page 2-MJn note, after speaking
of Holmes’s map of the city, that historian
says: “Similar,to this description of the place
is that of Oldmixon in his account of the Brit
ish colonies, printed in London, 1708, who af
firms he had his information from Williain
Penn himself,” namely : tjiat “ the town was
laid out and a draught taken by Mr. Thomas
Holmes, Surveyor-General of the Province,
which now lies before me.” “In the centre is
a square of ten acres, for the State House,Mar
ket House, School House and chief Meeting
Mouse of the Quakers.” -
That this statement is correct we have in con
firmation this: That Oldmixon’s account was
published ten years before Peuu’s death, and
that no contradiction of its accuracy by the
latter is extant. Arid again, that there was a
meeting-house belonging to the Societg of
Friends, built upon the ground dedicated by
Tam in the manner here referred to.
We accordingly see that the idea In this .dedi
cation to public uses was that a school-house
might be put upon the spot and a Mkktixc;-
non sit voiiPitiENDs, showing that his concep
tion of a public tiße was not quite so contracted.,
as that of the Dispatch. And here’’we r
the true definition of a public use. It is tha\,
which at any period of time will best suit
the public interests. A proper public
use of. IGS‘2 might not .he a
pmpert of 1870. Any other doctrine..
would be most despotic,as well as antagonistic
to the public interests. Teutpora mutantur ,
. nos et mutantur in ÜB*. We can imagine the
terms of censure iii.which the Dispatch—and '
very properly—would ’condemn any attempt to
■ ' ; i give either of -the-■four--. reiigiejus
. society.
Another statement, in which\napoeal j s
made to antipathies and prejudices,
ceive notice. We refer to this passage: “ The
Washington; Square job” jjis got up entirely in
the interesl’of property-hojders in that neigh
borhood, who expect to make large sums of
money by their real estate speculations there.”
This is not true. 'That there have been some
changes of ownership within the last three or
years on tke lour sides of Washington Square
—9 •
■we do not dispute, but they will not exceed,
those iriade in any other business. pari of the
town in the same space of. time. We think
these changes will not exceed' five or six in as
many years. Napaes might be mentioned,were
it proper. The records ard accessible'to any
one. But suppose there were latge purchases,
is it more improper to make them in the neigh-"
borhood of Washington Square, where the
Court-house has stood for over a century, than
iirtlm neighborhood of Penn Squares, where
the endeavor is to place it? It,, is notorious
that large purchases of real estate
have been made in (be vicinity of Penn Squares
in the prospect that, by strenuous exertions,
Ih<? public buildings might be secured for that
spot. We do not complain of this! People
•have, i right to make what disposition they
please of their money., But we do complain
of the ur(just censure attempted to be cast on
those wlio desire to save their property from
’destruction; on those who have made liberal
outlays in erecting beautiful structures for
business purposes, oh the faith of the jpublic
buildings remaining near - their .present site.
Have they no rights? Property on Washing
ton Square is more largely in the hands of the
children and grandchildren of former owners
than property on Penn Square. When the
few with laree means bought real estate on
Penn Square they bought in view of a rise
They were willing to chance. It is
better that they should be disappointed than
that hundreds of innocent partieSTliEould be
ruined. . .
In conclusion,we cannot pass without notice
the remarkable change of views in the Dis
patch. It has always been a strenuous oppo
nent to any.obstruction of Broad street. It
is now an advocate for vacating Broad street
and Market street, and . placing the public
buildings in the centre. This the citizens will
never submit to, as they will overwhelmingly
testify oh the second Tuesday of October. ..
NEXT TO MURDER.
Mr. Commissioner Biddle did not use too
strong a phrase when he characterized the in
famous fraud which has just been unearthed in
several wards of thismty as a crhncnext to mur
der; A deliberatesjstem of rascality, conceived
by Democratic managers, aided' by Democratic
policemen,.executed by-Democratic scoundrels,
paid for by Democratic money, has assailed
the highest and dearest right of every citizen
of Philadelphia. The registry rolls of Phila
delphia have,been crammed with false names
of men who have been taken, from precinct to
precinct by Mayor Fox’s policemen, who have
repeated their, perjuries over and over again,
until it is believed that single individuals have
registered themselves in various precincts fifty
.times. It is indeed next to murder; and the
distance between the two grades of crime is
not very great. For by. these frauds, the mass
of the people of this great city are to be robbed
and governed. It is by these frauds, should
they accomplish their designed effects, that the
laws of a free people are to be made.- By
these frauds, one scoundrel may cancel and
neutralize th 6 vote's of fifty honest men, and
there is no crime in the calendar that is not
fostered and encouraged by the demoralization
that follows close in the train of the success of
such monstrous frauds as these.
It is a cause for public congratulation that
this detestable plot.bas been discovered in time
to defeat its success. And this defeat will
come in two ways. The exposure already
made will enable those who mean to protect
the ballot-box from this outrage to follow up
their lines of research intelligently, hopefully
and fearlessly. And it'will bring- out a Repub
’lican vote which otherwise would have been
dormant at the coming election. The right
eous indignation of honest men is roused at
sdeh an infamous conspiracy. as this, and that
indignation will be expressed by an earnest
effort to poll the full vote of the decent people
■of Philadelphia. Those who have unearthed
these shameful frauds must push their hunt
with remorseless energy and activity, and the
result will be a defeat of a conspiracy which
has for it’s purpose a crime against society and
its laws, wel 1 said to be next to murder.
OUR WATER SUPPLY.
“Nothing illustrates, so well, the rapid stride
by which our city is advancing in size and pop
ulation, as the yearly increase in expense and
labor in the water department. We' had, at
one time, the reputation of being the best
water-supplied city on the continent; now, the.
storage capacity of all our reservoirs 4s only, a
two-days’ supply for the city. And this two
days’ supply is the result of immense labor,
and at the cost of $700,000 per annum, on an
average, for the last five years; and _of several
millions of dollars from the establishment of
the Faiimount Works to the close of 1804.
The great difficulty in this matter is the
same that occurs in providing for all other
wants of great growing cities. It is a; failure
to comprehend the demand that will bb made
in the future for adequate supplies. • Our
works, on examination, seem immense. The
following shows, in round numbers, the Work
done at each place. It is a statement of the
number of gallons pumped into the reservoirs
during the year 1809 :
Works.
F airuiount,
Schuylfcill,
Delaware, - ■
West Philadelphia,
Germantown,
Twelve and a half billions gallons of water,
used by our city in one year,and many dwellings
entirely without water above the first story,and
only two days’ supply on hand 1
To remedy the defect it is proposed to build
two new reservoirs, and enlarge that of the
works. One is to be erected at
Straw beriy Mansion to hold 80 millions
/gallons, and the other in the East Park to hold
0:10 millions. The enlargement of • the Dela
ware works-will give an extra storage' of 18£
millions. When these are all done, and in
:,use, they will, with the old reservoirs; retain a
supply. But the city does
not stand still, and, from [present indications,
before the improvements are completed the
supply will again be short of the demand.
' It is to be hoped that our- municipal author
ities will wake up. td a-inoie lively senso of fhe
' present and future necessities of-our city, and
take measures to provide for them on a scale
' commensurate with the immense growth of
Philadelphia.- The’Schuylkill is ample fur the
supply of the city for generations to come, if its
water is.properly.used .and stored. For our
reservoirs we want lakes, npt pools. In the
Central Park, New York, there is a
which Ins a surface of one hundred acres. It.
is doubtful Whether all of ours combined
would make more than fifty. .

promises to be .a grand demonstration. In
‘addition to the long list of eloquent,;ablo and

for a ’brilliant and extensive 'display, of fire
works, which, if tlie weather is propitious, will

In addition to the flights of rockets to which

there will be a variegated illumination of the

I Special Despatch to thePhiia. Eveolns Bulletin.!
HAiuusßund, Sept. 30c—The English Luthe
ran Synod of Eastern Pennsylvania continued
its session this morning. Considerable time
was taken up in discussing a plan for systema
tizing tbe benevolent operations of the church,
" The question 'Was. ably discussed by' Drs.
Conrad and Stork, of Philadelphia ; Rhodes,
of Lebanon, and Barclay, of Easton. - Paro-'
cbial reports are now being Tend, which, in
the main, give statements that are quite en
couraging.
AIAJEKIASi DEMOCRACY.
tie l’eople to took for Popular Bights.
A London journal of the 20tb of August re
ports as folio rvs : j
* It seems highly probable that there will be
1 disturbances among the French as well as the
Arab population ol Algeria. We gather from
a long and vehement article in the Akhbhr
(Journal de i’Alqirie), of imperial proclivities,
• that three gentlemen,' well known as leading
men of high character among Algerian colo
.Hints, have refused to. take the oaths of allegi
ano&Uo the Government, thus excluding them
selves from sitting in the General Council,and,
as the' Akhbar expresses it, making it appear
that the mtyority of the Algerians are hostile
to the Government. '
M. Joly, the head of this party, has avowed
openly that he 'will seize every occasion of
showtDg hisjTostility to the government,
M. Bertbolon is also accused of sacrificing
Algerian intierests for having declared that his
political ct/ovictions precluded him from
taking tbafe baths.' ....
M. Jouraan, the third gentleman held in op
probrium by the Akhbar, is declared to be no
Algerian, because he is of the same opinion,
Some of the irreconcilables have even-excused
themselves from taking up arms; and, alto
gether, there seems every chance of the be
ginmngof a new state ofthings.

TREASURY APPROPRIATIONS
Estimations Jfext Fiscal Year
Touns, Sept. 30.—The Prussians have been
totally unsuccessful in their attempis to retake
the position the French gained onTfitlay. The
Prussians maintain their stand at Bagneanx,
near Chatilion, where they are rapidly con
structing works for the, reception of' artillery.
On the terrace of Meudon they are also
throwing up entrenchments, and' from this"
point and Bagneaiix they can obtain an excel
lent range against forts Vauves and D’lssy.
The guns of Meudon already threaten
D’lssy.' The' Prussians have entirely evacu
ated Bambouillet, upon the road to Chartres,
and withdrawn to the latter’city.
fHie movement against Tours has been
totally recalled, and the people from Orleans
are returning to their homes.
The cheering hewaof the nuu|erous de
feats of the Prussians around Paris has been
wonderfully inspiring to the people of Tours,
who warmly applaud tiie faith of their Parisian
brethren. • ■ . ■
The work of searching for documents with

Imperialists before the fall of the Empire, has

Destitution and Devastation at Carls.
rnhe. i.
Cahlsbuhe, Sept. 30.—Many citizens of
Carlsrnlie have arrived here In a destitute con
dition. They report the rain, and- devastation
throughout the”city as deplorable. ’ The’
heavy Are of the PrussiaiTUattflries was con
centrated against that part of the city between
the Gate Des Pierres and the gate- Des Pech'-'
ienr. Here the most ruinous destruction en
sued, as all the principal structures of the city
are here situated.
The ancient Cathedral, sadly contrary to ex
pectations, is found to be much damaged in
masonry by shot. The magnificent tower has
been considerably shaken, and in some places
thr rosettes and projections have been dis
placed by stray shots. >
But its grandeur and adamantine stability
remain. The pnbllc library,’ of 100,000
volumes, rich in its collections of the early
efforts in printing, has been totally destroyed..
The theatre was burned on the occasion of
the recent awful -calamity. The railway de
pot at the Porte de Saverne, tilled with the
rolling stock of the Paris railroad shared in
the destruction wrought by Prussian shells.
The depot, from its exposed position, early
offering a good mark for the Prussian gun
ners’, was singled out and battered with shot,
and then’burned With shells.
’ The citadel has been occupied in heavy
force, and the breaches are being filled up and
the destroyed bridges replaced.
The ruins of the public buildings and dwell
ings will be rejnoved, and the general work
of restoring it to its wonted beauty will be
soon undertaken. ’ ,
The disposition of the inhabitants, though
not t openly hostile towards the Prussians, is
one gt sullen coolness.
The captives of the garrison have been re
moved to ope Of the Rhine fortresses’
•Toxjbs, Sept. 30.—Advices received from
Paris, dated yesterday, are very favorable.
The troops.havehad'numcrouk successes over
the Prussians, jyho at several points havo been
driven from positions ■ previously captured,
and those points again occupied by the French.
Among the works thus regained are the
Plateau of Villejuil, the heights of Chatillon,
file town of Bourg La Reine and La Brie Surp
Marne.' 1
At other points in the Northeast the French
had retrieved their losses.. Altogether the
operations of the Prussians have beon seriously
harassed and their investment shattered.

THE COURTS.
Presentment of tbe'Grand Jary.
To the Honorable the Judges of the Cojfrt of
Oyer md Terminer and Quarter Sessions for the
city and county of Philadelphia: The Grand Xn
quest orthACOMmonwealthofTennsylvania,
inquiring for the city and county of Phi ladel
phiafor the'September session,-187©., respect
, fully presept: .
That they, the-Grand Inquest, have dili
gently discharged the business that came to
their potice, with a,desire, that.in all their de
cisions the public good ahd the punishment of
crime should be obtained. '
The Grand Jiiry.have had before them in
’dictments charging almost every crime known
to.the law : they have acted upon 503 bills,and
have returned 354 as true bills, and have ig
nored 209 bills; of this large number tbe ma
jority were for larceny and assault ahd bat
tery. Many of the latter should never have
reached the Grand Jury, as they were of no
'serious account, and some were the result of.
a sudden outburst .of 1 pnssion or' feeling by ’,
those who, up to. that , time, had been on
friendly intercourse, and the . magistrate be
fore Whom the parties first came should never
have sent them before the Grand Jury, to say,
as has been said to this Grand Jury, thatthere
was no desire to prosecute the case; -
The Grand Jury in their labors have noticed,
that the cause directly leading to many of these
violations of law, and the disorder in society,
is the increase in the improper use of intoxi-’
eating liquors. The rapid increase of low
driplnng-houses in our city, some of which
perhaps are not licensed, calls upon the Grand
Jury, and upon every good citizen, to inquire
if our present license law does not require
some amendment. The Grand Jury would
most earnestly urge upon the. lawful authori
ties to restrain the illegal.sale of intoxicating
liquors. . .
The Grand Jury, in their visit to the County,
Prison, were impressed with the general good
order and faithful management ot the Prison.
Whiie they are well aware of the great amount
of criminal business of the county of Phila
delphia, and the necessity that may sometimes
, eanse a delay, they would express the hone
that prisoners charged with slight offeuces,
and not able to procurp bail, should have a
speedy trial. 'The Grand Jury would further
recommend that the prisoners who are in the
County Prison, who are there for , a short
sentence, or are awaiting trial, be furnished
with suitable bedding. !
The Grand Jury, in their visit to the Alms
house, wenti .without any announcement of
their coming—akalso they did in all their
visits to the coilnty institutions—ho that they
could witness the every-day working of the in
stitution. They found the Almshouse in a very
satisfactory condition for such a crowded place,
and withsuch a changing population its clean
liness and good order is commendable. The
Insane Department is tilled beyond its capa
city, which is to be relieved by adding a wing
to the building. •
On visiting the House of Refuge the Grand
Jury were pleased with the appearance of the
boys at thelr.employment, and satisfied of its
beneficial effect upon those who come under
its control, and bear testimony to its excel
lent management. ' f-
The Grand J ury visited Girard College. This
is one of our city’s noblest charities, and the
Grand Jury believe that its interior adminis
tration is in harmony with its great outward
adornment. Here they saw thb boys at play,
the boys at dinner, and they apfldared happy,
Anh looked contented. Evidently they have
good instruction, good food] and are well
clothed; and with five hundred boys there
were none sick, which is good evidence they
have good health. .
Tbe Grand Jury also visited the Eastern
Penitentiary. This is the prison that receives
aJLprisoners sent to’it from the eastern part of
the State, after their trial,conviction and sen
tence in’the various counties of that part of
the State. This prison is in.admirable order ;
the appearance, disciplines, and cleanliness is
commendable.- It is to be regretted, however,
that 'the State |,does not allow its Sown laws
to be carried out. By the law of Pennsylva
nia the convict is to be kept in solitary con
linement, hnt th 6 mipoher of convicts is in ex
cess’of the apartments for them, and, as a con
sequence, insome instances two convicts oc
cupy the same cell. The State should either
extend the capacity of the prison.or should hv
law provide that convicts who are sentenced
to a shortterm should he kept in the County
Prison. .
At all these public institutions the Grand
Jury had every facility extendeil to them for
inspection of these places by those having the
official management.
The Grand Jury further present the viola
tion of law by the various Railway companies
of the city in not keeping in good order the
streets over which their roads pass, thus'’fur
nishing a pernicious example to the rest of the
community ; also, the dangerous condition .in
which’the people of Manayunk are placed by
reason of the Philadelphia, Germantown and
Norristown railway crossing at least seven
f' eets at grade, at which points not less than
ree thousand people pass four times each
y, and at which points twenty trains pass
every day, and at none of these crossings is
.there any flagman.

Tbe Faftragut Obsequies—Arrival of the
Bemoins In New York.
New Yobk, Sept. MO.— At six o’clock this
mornjng the City U'ouncil went down on the
lower' bay, on boardjthe police steamer Metro
politan, to meet the United States steamer
Brooklyn, conveying the remains of Admiral
Farragut. Between .8 and S) o’clock a des
patch was sent aronl-. the members, of the
Board announcing the arrival of the Brooklyn. ?
She was steaming up into the bay..
It was announced that the intention was to
run the Brooklyn to a- point off the Battery,
where she wbuld Gome to auchor, and the re
mains would be conveyed from thence, on
hoard the police boat, to -the foot of Canal
street, where the c'ortegf^ijh'arrive and es
cort to their fifial renting bi^ne.
A* disagreeable rain-storm prevails, being
the inauguration of the equinQctial.storm ;,buh
it is" understood the Committee of Arrange-,
ments will not'nostpone the 1 ceremonies. The
military are now proceeding-to the rendez
vous. ■ ' ; -
Caparisoned in mourning weeds, and ■ with
colors half-mast,-the Brooklyn steamed up the-
Bay at 10.30 A. 11.
On the poop-deck, canopied by the Ameri
can ensign, was the catafalque, upon which,
rested the mortal remains 'of ’ our illustrious
F arragut.
The steamboat Metropolitan, having on
board the members of the City “Council,
acted as a consort. Minute guns were fired
from the several forts in tho‘ harbor as the'
Brooklyn passed. T
Flags were everywhere displayed at half
mast, telling in their silent eloquence the story
of, universal and genuine sorrow.
When the noble steamship reached the city
arid was just entering the crowded charinol of
North river, the speed was slackened and she
proceeded slowly up as far as tho foot of
Canal street, where she came to her mooring
out in the middle of the stream.
In spite of the lowering /clouds a large
crowd gathered about pier 39 North river at
an eariv hour this morning. There was : not -
much display of bunting on West-street, but
the houses along Canal street and Broadway /,
were nearly all draped, presenting a sombre
appearance. *
The pier on which the remains were to be
landed had no decorations, to the surprise of
everyone. ' . • ...
At ten o’clock detachments of twb hundred
police arrived, under charge of Inspector
Copeland, ■ -,
They immediately cleared the vicinity of the
pier. A little after the Army and Navy Offi
cers’ Legion arrived,and the artists were busy
sketching. _
A number of, soldiers arrived from
Governor’s Island, and put ashore at pier 40.
The guard of honor,'com prising forty sailors,
from the navy-yard, and ninety marines under
Col. Broome, both with standards, and the of
ficers with their sword-hilts covered . with
crape, Capt. Creighton, aid to Admiral String
ham, CJapts. Woolsey and Waters, Lieut.-
Commander Prichard, and all the subordin
ates of the navy-yard, arrived..
The receiving-ship, sailors and marines im
mediately formed in line awaiting the arrival
of the body. ■
The rain commenced and presaged a
truly mournful day, and the officers, who had
donned their new uniforms, and the men
looked mefully in the street. Admiral Boggs,
chief officer of the Guard of Honor, arrived,
and Colonel Wagstaff, the. Deputy Marshal,
arranged the details of the march, r
The Brooklyn passed the foot of Canal
Btreet with the deceased Admiral’s flag at the
main, dropped,anchor, and the men,-as the
body left the ship, removed the yards. As
soon as the body was- deposited on the top of
the catafalque, the flag was hauled down and
placed-on the coffin, i the United State? flag
being run up instead.'
The vessel slowly steamed for the pier, the
band playing a solemn dirge. .Minute-guns .
fiom-the frigate belched a parting salute- fho j
tug arrived at the pier, the m.ariues presented
arms, the spectators uncovered a few minutes.
The remaiiis placed oii the bier were con
-taiued in two c.ottins, the outer rosewood,
silver mounted, aud a magnificent silver plato
with the date of the Admiral’s birth anil death.
&The coilin was covered by an immense
black velvet pall with gold bullion on it, ,
and the word Farragut in gold ,on the
corners silver anchors, on the top ot the coffin
the Admiral’s flag.; and over that his coat, hat -
and Bwovd.
* wjjtjo these preparations were going on,the
members of the Committee, officers present,
soldiers and sailors who fought under Farra
gut, and the marines, formed into column,
headed by a band, and marched out in the fol
io'inc order: Marines and sailors.preceded
bv two of them bearing a flag; the body .with
marines with reversed arms. Each corner :
was borne by eight sailors; then the chiqf ,
mourners, officers and meii who served under
the departed. ' „ ~,. . .
.Shortly before 11.30 the Grand Marshal,
General Webb, and- his aids rodo up. All
being ready, the band played a dirge, and the
procession started from the foot of Canal
street. ‘ ", '•
