The vicinity of the railroad station is
crowded with people, and further on the
streets are densely filed. Perhaps 10000
or 10000 persons are here as spectators.
Battle flags are displayed everywhere, and
the bann ers are half-mast. Badges of
black are seen everywhere. The walls of
the elegant car house are profusely orns-
mented with drsped flags and other en-
blems of grief. This car house is densely
crowded with people. Word goes round
that Grant is on board. This electrifes
the crowd. Where is hs2 shouts thou
sands of voices. Many rush to the last
car, and others to the front, showing that
they have no definite idea of the wheres-
bouts of Grant.
General Grant is not on board and the
crowd feel disappointed. At this point 8
small party of ladies, with a large and mag
nifeent bouquet, reach the car and deposit
on the coffin the floral tribute of honor
and affection. Persons here and there are
seen weeping. A few more seconds pass

and their families are present. The cars
are now increasing their speed and Ian
