This usually quiet and somewhat

of unusual activity and great excite

the day previous that the first public
cremation of a human body in the
United states would take place at the
new cremation furnace upon the day
following.
The news must haye spread over u

for As early as four O'Clock yesterday
morning the crowd came pouring in.
The cremation took place at precisely
-four o o'clock in the afternoon. BY that
time it is estimated that not less than
10000 strangers were in town, and the
scene in and about the furnace build
ing was perfectly bewildering. Every
body was scramhling for a good posi-
ton in order 10 get glimpse Of the
body while being cremated. Now it
was simply impossible for such large
congregation to get even near the
