large crowd had collected, and who paid the same
respectful attention to the melancholy act which
they were witnessing as had been observed all
along the route. The Stars and Stripes nuttered
in the breeze at half-mast high over the depot

national loss which had been sustained and at
such cities as Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford,
Springfield and Worcester there were thousands
OF mourners assembled to pay momentary and
parting tribute as the train passed by.
AT SPRINGFIELD
the Legislative committee took charge OF the re-
mains and accompanied them to the State Capitol
on Beacon hill. Among the crowd assembled at
the depot here in Boston were numerous CITY and

carriages, and then the cOrtege moved slowly and
sadly to the State House, all the church bells Of
