The Mortal Remains of Ire¬ land’s Chief Laid to Rest. A Dublin cablegram says: The re¬ mains of Charles Stewart Parnell arrived at KiDgstown at 7 o’clock Sunday morn¬ ing. After leaving London there were no demonstrations along the railway route until Chester was reached. Here large deputations from Liverpool, Man¬ and chester, Preston, Newcastle-on-Tyne other places joined the train. Parnell’s colleagues Redmond, in parliament, Wexford; including John John E. of O’Con no", of Tipperary; Joseph Nolan, of Louth; Henry Campbell, of Fermanagh; Dr. James Q. Fitzgerald, of Langford, and James J. O’Kelly, of Roscommon, extended greetings to various deputa¬ tions. The funeral train reached Holy head about 2 o'clock. Eager groups of people had collected on the quay to watch the transfer of the coffin from the train to the mail boat (appropriately named the Ireland.) The voyage across the St. George’s train arriving channel was Dublin quickly station made, at at half-past 7 o’clock. A vast but awaited silent crowd, with uncovered heads, the train as it rolled into the station. Upon being removed from the train the case was taken from the coffin, which wasi then lifted into the hearse, the panel glass exposing the coffin to view. Wreaths and other floral tributes literally covered the top of the hearse and piled around the coffin case. As the hearse moved from the station a body ot police formed in front of the procession. As the march progressed the crowds grew denser, yet they kept clear of the line of procession along the whole route to Cas cle Hill, where the serried ranks of peo¬ ple occupied every inch of space. LYING IN STATE. The city hall was reached at 8:30 o’clock. A violent rain storm streamed down as the coffin was being born into the hall towards the catafalque. It kept raining in pitiless torrents for hour after hour, yet the number of the vast throng struggling to force their way slighest, to the city hall was not reduced in the or was their eagerness one whit dampened. From 10 o’clock till 2 o’clock in the afternoon a continuous stream of people poured into the city hall. It is estimat¬ ed tuat 40,000 persons availed themselves of the last opportunity to pay their respects to the illustrious dead. The ceremony of lying in state was to have been closed at noon, but the crowd was so numerous that the closing of the doors was postponed till alter 2 ’clock, and even then hundreds were obliged to go away disappointed. At a quarter led by to 3 o’clock the procession started, the exec¬ utive lowing of the leadership committee. Fol¬ came the bier, drawn by six coal black horses, surrounded by parliament¬ ary colleagues of Parnell. As the coffin passed, almost hidden in flowers, every head in the vast assemblage was uncov¬ ered. Behind the members of the Dublin municipality came those of the provin¬ cial corporations, trades societies and other organizations. Some forty thous¬ and people had passed through council hall during the four hours the body had lain in state, and most of these joined the procession, forming into line, six abreast, wherever a gap iu the procession permit¬ ted them to go. By 4 o’clock the police became overwhelmed by the power of the ever-increasiDg crowd, and by the with¬ drawal of a portion of their force, who went to try to clear a w ay for the funeral at the entrance gates to the cemetery. When the first part of the procession reached the lower gate, at 5 o’clock, it was found impossible to penetrate the dense masses. In a struggle with the onlookers the police were obliged to abandon the attempt to drive them back. The surging crowd around the gate seeking to see the others cortege met a great contending wave of trying to enter. A LITTLE CONFUSION. A scene of great confusion ensued. The procession for the time was checked and thrown into disarry. It was decid¬ ed to close the lower gate, and this was effected amid great disorder, just as the hearse reached the spot. The hearsu was th' n taken to the upper gates. Here the coffin was removed and placed upon a platform in order to enable those in the procession to the file around and have a full view of the bier. At 6 o’clock fast¬ falling dusk found the procession still filing past. There seemed no likolihood that the stream of marchers would end till far into the depth of night, so orders were given to remove the coffin to the side of the grave. A body of Clan-na-Gaels suc¬ ceeded in clearing the way to the grave and formed a circle within which were grouped dignitaries, the lord mayor of Dublin, the civic parnell’s colleagues in parliament and relatives. The crush around about was terrible. THE BURIAL AT NIGHT. Darkness bad set in. The noise of shrieking women, the .cries of children and the cries men struggling amid the crush, made inaudible the voice of the clergy, reciting the ritual of the Church of England. At the grave Rev. Mr. Vin¬ cent, of the Lotunda chapel, and Rev. George Fry, of Manchester, officiated. They were obliged to cut the services short, as the crowd broke into the pro¬ tecting circle Some and time overwhelmed in the inner dead group. alter, the darkness, when .the crowd had thinned away, the more intimate friends again grouped themselves around the grave, deposited of wreathes the coffin. thereon and took a last view THROUGH DIXIE.
