" O —— 6 GOUNCIL BLUFFS. Record of Events on the East Side of the Missouri. Appropriate Funeral Services Held in Memory of Garfleld. Lost an Arm by a Premature Ex« plosion of a “ Salute Gun.” SAD ACCIDENT, One of those sad accidents we are invariably called upon to chronicle, after the firing of a salute, happened in this city yesterday. nate victim was a young man by the name of Josoph Spaulding, who 18 a shoemaker by trade, and has worked for soms time in the repairing shop of J. M. Phillips. He was one of the men who offered his services to fire the salute, Yesterday while engaged in loading the cannon a premature discharge took place, blowing his right arm so badly that it is supposed by the attending physician amputa- tion will become necossary. Mr. Spaulding was an industrious, hard- working man with a wife and severul chuldren to s upport, and the only means he had he was deprived of yes- terday. This is another sad chapter in the events that transpired in our city yesterday. MOURNING FOR GARFIELD, Yesterday was a day long to be re- membered/by all who witnessed the funeral obsequies of our lamented «chief magistrate as obsorved in this city. All buildings on our principal business streets and quite a number of private houses along the route were hoavily draped with black, All races and all parties vied with each other in paying the last tribute to our de- parted hero before he was buried out of sight forever. At the hour appointed the mournful belching forth from the Independent battery of this city gave dreadful notes of preparation for the grand and solemn march, The tens of thousands of mourners began to fill our streets early in the forenoon. Out from their various rendezvous with sober, solemn step, marching to the music of the muffled drum, came the fire department, the school teachers and children and all the various orders and associations in the city.

J. Hatand A, E. Diwson, pro- sented a sad, yot beautiful appear- ance, The grand stand, located di- rectly in the center, was heavily hung in black. On the front, draped in mourning, was hung a large portra of the deceased. At the left, on the east {rum, was a large picture «f Washington, and still further, on the south front, was suspended an oval pieturo of the martyr, Lincoln, and. thousands of people were gathered around this stand where procession, that was three miles long, had entered. Such a grand spectacle was nover seen in Baylisy' rurkh t was one solid mass of wav- ng th I umanity, W. R. Vaughan, called @ vast throng toorder, Iu n fow but choice remarks he turned the mouraful festivities over to tho clergy of the city, Mr. A. F, Lemen an- mounced the order of exercives and then introduced Mr, Webb, of the _l]nwusul churcli, who, in a very fecl- and eloguent wanner offered the lowing prayer: “O Father of mercy and God of all comfort! our only help n time of weed, we implore Thy blessing upon The unfortu- | these ceremonivs in which,in common with the wholo country, we are now engaged, Realizing that the shadow of death is now lying darkly upon all this stricken land, and that in the tolling bells of our city, answered by the tolling bells of the next,the throb bing emotion of our hearts and of the country is being made articulate. Weo recognize also thy hand in this dis pensation and Thy presence in our midst. The days of our beloved chief magistrate Thou hast brought to a close, His form—all of him that Thou hast laid prostrate in Yet, like the could die the dust ut Thy teet sunlight of this bright day, an infinite hope penetrates through through our gloom. Far into that asylum where he shall no more be dis- quieted, forever morc assured that he has entered. And up through our lieavy hearts this thanksgiving springs itis well with him, i ssence, Sovereign i carth, Thou hast w ated with princes s he shall drink no more the libation of sorrow and death, but of that wine which he shall drink forever anew in Thy kingdom, O, Father, above, Upon his bereaved famnily we invoke that consolation which Thou alone canst bestow, hou dost not willing- ly afflict or grieve thoe children of men. In Thy wisdom Thou hast seen fit to visit them with trouble and to bring distress upon them, Remember them, 0, Lord, i Sanctify Thy ion to them. Endue ouls with patience under their on, Comfort them with a sense of Thy goodness. Lift upon them the lighe of Thy countons and give to them P For oursolves we ask that woe may fit- tingly realize that in the midst of lifo we are in death and that to whatover elevation of character wo may attain, however upright and square the course we may pursue, we must all submit at last to the destroying pewer and endure the humbling level of the tomb. For that fateful hour when the silver cord shall be loosed and the golden bowl be broken may we inThy mercy, O Lord, be prepared. And through all may we maintain our de- parted ruler’s faith, which in that hour when death first struck him to the ground, found expression in those words which we cannot forget, ‘I am content to live or die, Thy will" be done " Being dead lie yet speaketh! The many lessons of this dire calamity im- press permanently, %) God, upon all this people. May we be grateful for what it shows us, that in spite of all our strifo and division, we are still one people at heart; that there are common grounds upon which rich or poor, politician or citizon ean feel and act together, and that those grounds are not, selfish ones. Though by as terrible an experience may we be re- membered of what we are in danger of forgetting, that there are higher aims than power and place and gold. Deeply and accursedly as the love of these things has moved the people, we find cause for gratitude to Thee. And in_this “tender and unhought feeling which has exalted the tone of the country and will do more than an, material prosperity for the moral ad- vancement of this country, may we sce that it is well, at times, though at 80 great a cost, to be remined that the highest wealth of a nation is its power of affection and reverence, its capabil- ity of recognizinz that which is beauti- ful aod noble, of being deeply moved by the hunan passion, of bowing in needful humiliation before the uplift- ed hand of God, These and every blessing we need, we agk in the name and for the sako of the great Redeemer, amen. At the conclusion of which the Epis- copal choir, composed of Mr. and Mrs, Traynor, Miss Merkle and Mr. Ed- ward ¥itch, rendered a choice anthem entitled, “Tather T Know Thy Ways are Just.” Rev. Oyrus Handin then read some appropriate scripture pas sages. Tho Methodist choir sang, un- der the divection of L. M. Tulleys, ‘“Jusus, Lover of My Soul.” 1. °C. Bloomer read some resolutions drawn up in behalf of tho city by a commut- tee appointed by Mayor Vaughan. Dr. Cook moved that they bo printed on parchment and a copy forwarded to Mys, Garfield and family. Prof. Olker's band discoursed a beautiful funeral dirge. Col. W, F. Sapp was next introduced, and in a very etfoct- ive manuer read the following resolu- tions: coln Post, No, 29, G lowing resolutions w adopted: Wlicreas, In the providence of Al- mighty God, He has seen fit to ro- move by death our late chief magis- trate and comrade Jumes A, Garfield; and Whercas, The wide-spread and pub- lic sorrow attest the profound senge of the great loss which our country and R., the fol- ¢ unanimously our order have muintabned; therefore | be it Resonven, That in the death ot President Gurfield, the nation s | been deprived of oo of the most il- | lustrious men it has ever produced, and our order a beloved comrade, whose wide experience and generous culture, chivalvic nature and patriot- ism, assured the people of a just and beneficient adininistration of the laws.
