The line then began to move slowly 10 the
gnuf;c of the Dead March in Saul,' ard the
sirius of signal gun in the Square gave To-
formation of that fact to the thousands who
could not get within sight OF the line. Ihe

The line wound around Governor and up
Main street, and was fully three-quarters Of
a mile in length. Main street from Gov

and everywhere heads were lowered ard
voices subdued-the wailipg Of the martial
music. the measured beat OF the drum, and
march of the procession alone being heard.
The bells were tolled and the gun in the
-Sou,rc fred at iDtervals-on when the
head Of tue procession reached the corner of
Grace and Second streets; again when at
the gate, and again when the bier was borne
up the west entrance Of the Capitol.

an altar was erected, which received the bier.
Il was covered with white linen looptd up
with Grape. The hall was also appropriately
clothed in mourning, the Confederate stan-
Cards being folded along the face of the gal
