Immediately after the occurrence Captain Duncan requested the Masonic fraternity, of which joth he and Mr. Ilannegan were members, to take him in charge. They did so and he was buried with the honor ol that order on yesterday (Sabbath) after noon. The funeral took placs from Mr. llannege,n's residence, where Captain Duncan died. The latter -was ihe only living brother of Mrs. Ilannegan, who still lives the obj jet of universal pity. The anguish cf Mr. Ilannegan 's mind is said to be most intense and excruciating. The consequences 0 his rash act have driven him to a stats closely bordering on insanity.
