tinguIshed Citizens to be

NEW ALBANY, IND, August "a. -
From an early hour this morning till
i've o'clock in the afternoon a constant
stream OF people was passing through
the corridors OF the courthouse, where
the remains of the late Speaker Kerr were
lying in state. From the eyes Of many
Of the visitors silent tesrs stole gently
down the cheek as they gszsd upon the
wasted form Of the dead statesmsn-a
msn whom they had learned to love and
honor with ardent devotedness, and
whose virtues were recognized by all.
Choice flowers were strewn ia precision
around the coffiD. Upon the ca!afalque
q magnificent wreath Of immorteIles
and wreath prepared by the hands Of
Mira, w. s. Culbertson are among the
floral decorations. The facs of the re-
maius bear the evidences Of the intense
suffering through which Mr.. Kerr passed
during his Illness and up to the hour
OF his death. Were 1t not for the famil-
lar appearance of the forehead, and the
kn lwledge that it was his body, but few
Of his friends would have recognised the
remains. At eight and half O'9 Oek to-
night the caaket was CLOSED and placed
in heaEse and taken to the family resi-
dence, under the escort OF committees
fem the vasious civil societies Of the

remsins, and will watch over them
until the hour Of the funeral. The fu-
neral tomorrow will be one of the
largest ever known in this section Of
the country. Every society in the city,
with several others from the surround
ing cities, will be in the procession,
wSich will move from the family resi-
dence at four o'clock. Vice.President
Ferry, who accompanied the remains
from Washington, EARS that he will be
unable TO remain and atteld the funeral,
as he is necessarily compelled to be III

OF Mr.. w. s. Culbertson, and many Of
the citizens have called on him to pay
their respect Senator M'DonsId is

number Of citizens from various parts Of
the State will be here to night, and re-
main uutil after the obsequiss. The
