60 out Next was President Johnson riding
in carriage, with General Augur on the
right and General Slough on the left, mount
ed. Following him were the Cabinet Chic
Justice Chase and the Supreme Bench, anC
the Diplomatic Corps, who were succeeded by
Senators and members of Congress. The
procession then reached two miles more, anc
was composed of public officers, delegations
from various cities, and members of civic so
cieties, together with another large display o.
military. Some 5000 colored men were @
prominent feature, toward the end s-
The procession was two hours and ten min
utes in passing given point and was about
three miles long. The center of it had reached
the Capitol and was returning, before the real
had left Willards. In one single detachment
were over 5000 civil employees of the Govern
ment
AT THE CAPITOL.
Arriving at the Capitol, the remains were
placed in the center of the rotunda, beneath
the mighty dome, which had been draped in
mourning inside and out. The Rev. DR.. Cur
ley, in the presence of hundreds, impressivey
pronounced the burial service, concluding as
follows:
"And now may the God of peace that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd of sheep, through the blood Of
the covenant, make you perfect in every good
work to do His will, working in you that which
is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus
Christ, the Lord our Redeemer and hope, to
whose care we now commit these precious re-
mains, to whose name be glory forever and
forever Amen"
Guards were then placed with the remains
as the sun was just going down on another
historical 18th Of April The most vivid mind
can hardly picture the sublime sight that is in
view in the rotunda tonight Standing near
and looking far up to the dome, it appears as
it were the heavens hung in black, reflections
of rows ofgas jets giving it most somber ap.
pearance.
Tomorrow the remains lie in state, and the
next day they will 60 under escort to Illinois
via Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and
Chicago to Springfield, and thus will end the
funeral of Abraham Lincoln.
10, 900 PEOPLE IN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NOT
CAPTURED.
I 1t is carefully estimated that l25 900 people
were on the streets here to-day to witness the
funeral concourse.
Although the officers are full of confidence
that they have most of the facts of the con
spiracy, and that the result will be the arrest
of all concerned, yet Booth, so far as can be
learned, is not yet captured.
