ana TWO MOUNDS OF MOWERS placed /
here at Elberon still remained on
he base when the,dead was returned
10 the journey from the death bed to
The grave. The train moved out of
the depot at 5:15 and sped on its
journey to Cleveland, closely followed
by second train bearing members
Of congress and other distinguished
persons. There was one continuous
demonstration !, all along the route.
At the larger towns great numbers OF
people assembled and at Altoona the
number that had assembled around
the station was placed at 10000. At
many places the track was strewn
with flowers. The train reached
Cleveland ut LIZ p. m. on Saturday
afternoon and the remains were con.
veyed to Monumental Park, where it
laid in state until Monday. At the ap.
pointed hour on Monday a large pro-
oession was formed and the remains
of the lamented James A. Garfield
were escorted to Lake View cemetery
and buried in one of the prettiest spot
in that beautiful city of the dead.
Lake View cemetery, where Presi-
dent Gar6eld's remains have been
lain to rest, embraces 800 acres on
the south of Euclid avenue, just be-
yond the east limit Of Cleveland, FIVE
miles from the bushes center Of the
city. On the other side of the avenue
is Wade Park, and in close proximity
to the site where the new Western
Reserve university buildings are be.
ing erected. Nature seems to have
designed this spot for the purpose to
which it has been devoted, and all
which art and money could do to en-.
nance it's natural beauties has been
done. The grounds are owned by
an association of Cleveland gentle.

pair of the cemetery. The land was
purchased ten years ago, and laid out
by landscape designers and engineers
selected for eminenoe in their profes.

drives, sinuons walks and running
brooks; and quite numerous are the
conspicuous landmarks. No fence

anything to make an enclosure is per.

prohibited. Headstones are not al

stroll in this cemetery. It was his
ideal of a final earthly resting place.

mourning was very generally followed
and in many cities professions were
formed and religious services held,
The last sad duty of a grateful people

~. a..a THE LIVING.
President Arthur visited Long
Branch on Tuesday after the Presi:
dents death and in a feeling manner
personally expressed to Mrs. Garfield
his profound sorrow and regret that
the President should have died. He
was accompanied by Secretary Blaine
and Gen Grant. Afterwards he held
conference with the cabinet and
soon after took the train for New
York. On Wednesday morning he
returned to Long Branch in time to
accompany the funeral party to
Washington. On Thursday he again
took the oath of Office. Ex-Presidents
Grant and Hayes and Garfelds Cabi-
net were present. At the close of the
ceremony President Arthur read the
following Inaugural address.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR's INAUGURAL.
For the fourth time in the history of
the republic it's chief magistrate has
been removed by death. All hearts
are filed with grief and horror atIthe
hide0us crime which has darkened our
land, and the memory of the murdered
president, his protracted suffering, his
unyielding fortitude, the examples and
achievements of his life, and the pathos
of his death will forever illume the
pages Of our history. For the fourth
time the officer elected by the people,
and ordained by the constitution to fill
q vacancy 80 created is called to as
sumo the executive chair. The wis.
dom of our forefathers foreseeing even
the most dire possibilities made were
that the government should never be
imperiled because of the uncertainty
of human life. Men may. die, but the
fabrics Of our free institutions remain
mistaken. No higher or more assur-
ing proof could exist of the strength
and permanancy Of popular govern.
ment than that, though the chosen
ruler OF the people be struck down, his
constitutional successor is peacefully
installed without shock or strain, ex-
cept the sorrow which mourns the be.
reavement. All the noble aspirations
Of my lamented predecessor, which
found expression in his life, the meas.
ures devised and suggested during his
brief administration, 10 correct abuses
and enforce economy, to advance pros
perity and promote general welfare to
ensure domestic security and maintain
friendly and honorable relations with
the nations Of the earth, will be garn.
cred in the. hearts of the people,
and it will be my earnest endeavor to
