1.-THE RENlAINs--THEIR PASSAGE THROUGH PHIL4
DELPHIA.
The mortal remains of John Brown pass
fed through this city, this afternoon, on thei
way from Charlestown, Va, to ESSEX
ACounty, New York, where they will be in
kterred, as we understand.
Thsremains were in charge of the widow
lot Brown, who was accompanied by Messrs
8 Hector Tindall and J. Miller McKim, Of
sthis city, who had gone South with Mrs
ABrown.
The train by which the body arrived
gcame in from Baltimore at Broad and Prime
sstreets, at 20 minutes of 1 o'clock. Fol
Ehalf an hour previous there had been quite
Ia crowd of colored persons, and few white
ssympathizers in waiting, who, mingling
! with the usual crowd of carriage and ON.
1 ibus drivers, baggage smashers, &c, who
@collect about the station at Broad and Prime
streets, made quite concourse of people.
A Reception Committee, headed by Rev
aDr. Furness, was in attendance to receive
Mrs. Brown and party at the station.
A large police force was also detailed fol-
service, and the Mayor and Chief of Police
were present on the arrival of the train.
When the train came in, Mrs. Brown
with two ladies who were with her, left
] the cars and passed down Washington
street, leaning on the arm of Mr.. Tindall
! At Eleventh street they took a city rail
way car and passed up to Arch street Mrs.
Brown will remain in this city until to-
morrow, at the house Of a friend.
Mrs Brown is quite an aged lady, stout
land firm in demeanor. She was dressed in
mourning.
In order to avoid the crowd, the body
remained in the baggage car until a quar-
tier past one o'clock, when it was taken out
the depot having been previously cleared
lof all persons except policemen, reporters,
and persons connected with the railroad
company. The body was i'll a box, which
Twas covered with a blanket or coarse cloth.
A fur robe was dashed upon the top.
A double line was formed by the police
men, and the box was carried by other Off
GERS to an old wagon, covered with can
was, and drawn by an old bay horse, which
was in waiting in the yard of the depot, on
the south side of the building. Into this
wagon several policemen got, and the
wagon was driven out of the gate upon
Broad street.
These arrangements were not made with
as much secrecy as was intended, for the
boys who clambered upon the fences or
peeped in through its interstices reported
progress to the persons who were upon the
outside, and by the time the wagon wa8I
driven out, there was an immense crowd, /
which was composed principally of colored
persons.
The appearance Of the vehicle with thes
body of Brown was greeted with loud cries, !
and the crowd made chase after the wagon. !
There were three or four carriages, filled
by colored persons, in the rear of thes
wagon, but they had difficulty in keeping
up with the wagon, which was driven as
rapidly as the horse could travel
The crowd, or at least as many of thems
no could LooP up, followed tho wagon to
Walnut street wharf, while the women ands
the short breathed among the men were !
compelled to lag behind, leaving strag-
Cling to line the streets from the depot, att
Broad and Washington streets, to Walnut
street wharf The places of those who fellE
off were supplied by new corners, while at ]
Walnut street wharf there was a veryE
arge gathering PHILADELPHIA Bulletin. 4
THE REMAINS IN THIS CITY.
The mortal remains of John Brown wereE
brought to this city on the Amboy boat, on
sunday evening, in the charge of j. Mil I
er McKim, Esq, of Philadelphia, one of
he gentlemen who accompanied Mrs ].
Brown to Harpers Ferry for the purposes
If receiving them from the authorities of 1
Virginia. The intention, at first, was toa
top over Sunday in Philadelphia, partly ]:
hat the body might, as soon as possible,
'eceive the attention of an undertaken, and j
PARTLY that Mrs. Brown might have oppor-
unity for rest, after the terrible ordeal S
trough which she had passed; but the ]
prospect of the body's approach produced &
uch an excitemenG in that city-ar excite
nent of enthusiasm among his admirers,
md of curiosity on the part of the people
that the Mayor believed it s
would be impossible, if the body shouldre &
main, to preserve that order which the de 3
encies of the occasion and proper regard
or the feeling of the afflicted widow re- &
Iuired, and therefore he peremptorily in q
listed that another stopping-place should B
'e selected 6
The hour of arrival in New York being s.
Unknown, the body was quietly landed
ere, and placed in the hands of an under &
aker, who performed the required offices, III
nd put it in condition to be seen by the s.
amily and friends on its arrival at North b
Ilba. There is reason to believe that, if 81
% unexpected delay shall occur, it will i
each its destination in such state that
he children may look upon their fathers
ace and witness no other change than that s
'hich death naturally produces. Mrs
'rown tarried in Philadelphia, with sym
friends, until Sunday evening, q
