THOUSANDS VIIKW BODY Of W. J. GAA NOB. Services are Hold in Now York Churchc*? Long Linos Form at C ity Hull When* the Body Lies in State. New York. Sept. 21.?In a double i line that never seemed to diminish as the day wore on, thousands of persons t today filed through the flower-filled ; rotunda of the city hall and past tin body of William J. Gaynor, lying in , state. Unmindful of a heavy down? pour of rain In the morning, frequent! showers in the afternoon and threat- i ening skies tonight, people came in! a continuous streari silently to And places in the long, slow-moving pro? cession that extended for half a mile along lower Broadway and through City Hail park to tl e city hall. It was New fork's spontaneous tribute to its dead mayor. In the long line were street clean? ers in their white uniforms, police? men, firemen and men high in the official life of the city and State, but , for the most part the procession was made up from the great socalled mid? dle class. Many women and children carried small wreaths or bouquet of Mowers, which they placed near the coffin. At 9 o'clock the police on duty at the city hall estimated that more than 76,000 persons had viewed tho body. The line was still forming at a laU hour tonight and Mayor Kline issued | an order to keep tho rotunda open until 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, if necessary, ho that nil who came might pay personal tribute to tho memory of his predecessor. Fuly 100,000 per? sons .it is believed, will have viewed the body before th?> doors are closed. "It || a remarkable tribute," Mayor Kline said, as he viewed tho great silent crowd; "no Icing, no emperor, ever had a tribute paid to him like this great outpouring of citizens to? day. It la a tribute from the hearts of the people." The bier rested on the same spot where the bodies of many fan ous men have laid in state. Other noted men whoso biers liave rested beneath the dome of the hall were: Abraham Lincoln, Gen. U. S. Grant, Horace Greeley and Gen. * ose A. Paez, president of Venezuela. Pathetic incidents were numerous! as men and women whom the late mayor had befriended look<d upon his face. Among theae was a Brooklyn youth, whose part Mayor Gaynor took when It was alleged he was being; persecuted by the police and which resulted in an investigation and also the removal of the boy's picture from the rogue's gallery. While the thousands journeyed down town to pay their respects in person, thousands of others attend? ed memorial services in many church-1 es in all parts of the city. FISHERMAN MAKES JAJCKY CATCH. Erie Anderson Hooks Small For? tune In the Shape of a Walnut Log. Georgetown, Sept. 20.?Fishermen not infrequently catch other things than fish. Eric Anderson of South Is? land caught a small fortune In the shape of a big and fine black walnut I log of solid heart, squaring 12 by 14 inches and 23 feet long. Tho stick had evidently been in 1 the water a long time since small bar- j nacles had begun to form on it, but the condition of the wood is perfect, aj|4 the grain and coloring are beau-1 tlful. Anderson cut off a small sample i of the wood and brought It up to the ! city, and U. E. Emerson made a! smooth surface on one side of it. Tbc I color is dark and rich, and the wood j takes a polish like a mirror. From appearances It must have been OUt renfa and years ago, and must have bean in the water seevnil years. No i moisture, however, has ever penetrat? ed so much as 1-10 of an inch into I fhe gruin. The supposition is that tho stick WU grown in Brazil, "where the nuts t onn? from," and that it was jettison-J ?l by BOOM StllB in distress or that it Routed out of some vassal thai wreck d With a load of line hard? woods aboard. The lot was picked up In the bay, between the, two is? lands. nUOHTENfl WoMW; liYNCHKD. OMsoiu aeerehhag for Offender Find* His Bad] Hanging In Limb of Tree. Louisville, Miss .
