"A dispatch from Washington. Pa.
18th, Is as follows: The cremation IL
the remains Of Mrs. Benjamin Pitman,
Of Cincinnati, was successfully accom-
plished this afternoon. the entire oper-
alton lasting less than two hours. The
train bearing the remains reached here
about IA o'clock this morning and the
body was taken directly from the station
70 the crematory. Thecasket was made
q cherry with an ~unvarnished mahUg-
any cover beautifully carved, a present
from the Cincinnati School Of Design.
OF which the deceased lady was a men,
ber- II was lined with white satin.
The corpse was accompanied only by
Mr.. Pitman and Mr.. Plympton Of Gin
%cinnati, a personal friend Of the Pitman
family.
All strangers and newspaper repre-
~sentatives We're rigidlv excluded from
the building during the cremation, the
parties present being Mr.. Pitman and
MIR. Plympton and those persons in
charge Of the furnace. DIR. LeMoyne
was not present owing to the infirmities
Of age, but his son, Julius LeMoyne.son
in-law. ii. n. Harding. and William
Blackhurst, Superintendent Of the Gas
Works, had charge Of the entire process
from beginning to end. The estimated
heat of the retort al noon was 1920 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and DIR. LeMoyne
stated this afternoon that he estimated
the highest degree of heat which the
furnace has ever shown at moi over
1900 degrees.
The arrangements at the crematory
were similar to those used during the
cremation of Baron de Palm. The re-
mains were taken from the casket and
placed in the iron cradle and a muslin
cloth previously soaked in alum water
was spread yer them 10 hide them from
view. AT ? O'Clock the cradle was push
ed into the retort and the door closed.
In IL minutes the body was entirely re-
duced, and NJ the end OF an hour and
three-quarters the cremation was pro-
nounccd complete, and the flues OF the
furnace we're closed and the door sealed
to arrest combustion and
the rctort TO cool. This will re-
quire at least 80 hours, when the door
the retort will be opened and the cal
cined bones removed. The result OF
is not ashes, but fragments Of
calcined bone, white as snow and entire
ly odorless. Mr.. Pitman expressed him
as more than satisfied with the ere
nation. He i undecided as to what he
will do with the remains, but thinks he
will erect a monument, in the inside OF
he will place the jar and contents.
DIR. LeMoyne says that hereafter all
cremations will be conducted in strict
privacy, lone but the friends being al
in the building during the pro-
cess, and saws that the success Of to-day
not needed u convince him that
cremation Is the quickest, most economic
cal and sanitary way Of dispcsing Of the
dead.
