KdcarO. Simmons. Yesterday at three o’oloek the funeral exercises over the remains of Hon. Edgar G Simmona ware observed with masonic ceremonies. The home of the distinguished dead was thronged with friends, gathered to offer their last sad token of esteem and love for him who was a few abort hour* before their friend, counseller and sympathizer. Dr. A. B.

The masons now took charge of the remain* of their departed brother, and with rite* peculiar to their order, con- veyed them to their last resting place in Oak Grove cemetery. The exercises were concluded at the grave by Dr. Campbell, who made a few brief remarks, dwelling on the many generous qualities of the deceased, his warm and confiding nature, his unfail ing affeotlon for his aged mother, hit devotion to hi* wife, and hi* affection for hit children. - ■ He aocentuated the beautiful and con fidential relations that existed between Mr. Simmons and bii children. Hie heart was knitted to hit hearthstone with the tenderest ties and every sensi bility of his soul responded to the sweet Influences Ho wing from It As a friend,he was constant and ready; as a brother, warm and confiding; as s father, kind, Indulgent and affeotkmato; ns a husband, devoted and true. After Dr. Cambell oonclnded hit re marks, ths Masons chanted a requiem and Dr, Campbell offered n prayer and pronounced the benediction.

With the assiitanoe of Mr. W. B Mor ris, the oomkatente were separated and the police placed then under guard. They were Mr. J. U. Chambliss, a well borer, and a negro named Henry Daniels, who conducts a small butcher stall on Lamar atreet There were nnmeroui eye witnesses to the encounter and diverse accounts bavo been givenf Mr. Chambliss says: “I was walking In Mr. Begley’s store when I stooped down to pick up some email silver change that I aoddently dropped. When I straightened up, a crippled ne gro standing a foot or so away from Daniels remarked that I had not picked up all of the money. I told him that he could have all that I left Bight here was where Daniels interfered. I heard him remark with an oath that I was the man who had eworn to a d lie on him. “I walked up to him and asked him if his remarks were directed to me. He then grabbed me and we closed. I did not see the pistol when I first approaoh- ed him and when I saw It I attempted to disarm him, but he shot before I could effect my purpote, and here," said Mr. Chambliss, holding up bis left hand and ■flowing the forefinger and middle finger bloody and raw, “la what he did for me, the ball sorsplng the two knnckles." Henry Daniels says: "I was standing at the corner when Mr. Cbamblisa came up and began talking about some trou ble that we had bad some time since, when I would not let him sit on a jury that was to try a case of mine. No sooner bad he approaohed me than he drew a pistol on me and I tried to die arm him, hut the pistol went off in the air and fell at my feet. It was ah un provoked assault, and I never carry a pistol, not having carried one in fifteen years.” Mr. W. B. Morris who was standing near when the trouble arose and helped to separate the combatants says: "I saw Daniels trying to shoot Chambliss, and the pistol was in his hands when I first saw the two.
