ten o'clock
The house of Herr Fellner was equally full of mourning . Everybody who had filled any post in the old republic , senators , members of the Legislative Assembly , etc. , came to salute this dead and just man , and to lay on his bed wreaths of oak , of laurel , and _ immortelles _ . From early in the morning of the 26th , as soon as the cannon were perceived to have disappeared and the town to be no longer threatened with slaughter at any unexpected moment , all the inhabitants congregated about the two doors that were hung with black . At ten o'clock all the trade guilds met together in the Zeil with their banners , as if for some popular festivity of the free town . All the dissolved societies of the city came with flags flying -- although they had been forbidden to display these ensigns -- determined to live again for one more day . There was the Society of Carabineers , the Gymnastic Society , the National Defence Society , the new Citizens ' Society , the young Militia Society , the Sachsenhausen Citizens ' Society , and the Society for the Education of the Workers . Black flags had been hung out at a great number of houses , among others at the casino in the street of Saint Gall , which belonged to the principal inhabitants of Frankfort ; at the club of the new Citizens ' Union , situated in the Corn Market , at that of the old Citizens ' Union in Eschenheim Street , and , finally , at the Sachsenhausen Club -- a club of the people , if there ever was one -- belonging to the inhabitants of that often mentioned suburb .
