Colonel Diu.nn, who had chai se of the arrangements for the funeral, was in command. Comrades bore the body from the house to a hearse drawn by four horses. A wild wind was bloing from the river over the hill. The veterans suffered, but not a man soujiLt, shelter.

Shouts and cries awoke the echoes of the hall where the dead man lay. Huntingfon hall whenever General Butler appeared there in life saw turbulent scenes, but those of yesterday surpassed anything ever seen before at the old hall. Down in the streets thousands pressed forward when they saw the doors open. All the afternoon a steady stream of people poured in. but the crowd that wanted to get in did not diminish. The exit was on Shat tnck street and a stream of people poured through that door. Kept ITp Till Eleven at Night.

The Cireateat Funeral Fvont Kver Wit nessed at Lowrell. This morning there was another crush at the hall, those who failed to seethe remains yesterday again crowding the doors, but the police arrangements were better.

GREENHUT REPLIES TO BURROWS. He Declares That Gentleman's Whisky Trust Accusations False. Chicago, Jan. 16. PreaidenfJ. B. Green hut of the Distillers' and Cattle Feeders' 1 association, is not alarmed by the resolu tion introduced in congress by Burrows of Michigan demanding investigation of the whisky trust, which attracted so much at tention during the last few days. "It is well known to everybody," said Greenhut, "that the Distillers' and Cattle Feeding company is a legally organized corporation under the laws of Illinois, and as such is subject to the law as is any other corpora tion. The names of its officers, their places of business, and aU the information asked for by Mr. Burrows in his resolution can be ascertained in any city of the United States by simply asking the questions of any mercantile agents." Absnr' in livery Particular. Mr. Greenhut continued by saying: "So far as the products of this company are concerned, it is a fact that they Bre the purest and bert in tbe markets of the world, and they today rank higher than any other. The revenue department could and would, if called upon by Mr.Burrows, assure him that the product manufactured by us is pure and not adulterated in any manner whatever. They are made entirely under the supervision and control of the department. As to the intimation that tbe company is doing busines in violation of the law of the law of the state of Illinois orof the United States it is absurd jn every particular." . SATOLLI IS PERMANENT.
