And despite all the police protection there was an exciting scene just before the coffin was brought out, when a man who declared he was a nephew of Mr. Yerkes was dragged struggling and shouting down the brownstone steps that are famous because each of; them cost $1,000. | Only six carriages followed the hearse, and neither Miss Emflie Grigsby nor any member of her family was in the cortege. In the first carriage was Louis Owsley, persdnal secretary of the iate ; millionaire, and a Quaker clergyman, dreseed in the sombre grey costume, { who was to preach the sermon at the grave.
