Coen. Magnificent Funeral of AT Stewart Large Crowd and Bcautiful Dec orationTaylor vs. Gould Dismiss ed. New York, April 13 Great crowds collected at an early hour this morn ing in the neighborhood of the late A T Stewart's house to witness the funer al procession. All along Fifth Avenue, spectators were stationed in windows and on steps of houses. The vast as semblage was very orderly and sub dued. A small police force in front of the residence, detached to keep back the crowd, only allowed those to enter the dwelling who were provided with tickets of admission. Ihe funeral procession started from Mr. Stewart's house about 11:30. The body lay in state all morning and was viewed by fully 4,000 people. It was eupported on a bed of flowers nearly two feet high. The other floral decorations were superb and could hardly be ex celled in magnificence. The coffin was covered with black Yelyet, and bore an inscription on the plate of solid gold, with gold handles and heavy gold fringe three inches deep all around it. The casket was lined with white silk. The body was dressed in a suit of black cloth. Floral gifts were presented by Mrs Gen Dix, Robt W Stewart and others. Bishop Potter and Rev Dr S H Tyne read a brief funeral service at the house before the body was lifted. After this service the employees were allowed to enter and take a last look at the deceased.
