Measured Pace Of Funeral PROFESSIONS.
To-day an unwonttd stiffness pervades
the city and q grief that cannot find ex-
preston IN words seems pictured upon
every lace. Upon all public buildings
hlgs are displayed at half-mast, " hile the
whole city is last taking on habilments
OF mourning. Almost every building
along the entire length of the avenue is
draped in black and thousands of stores,
offices and private dwellings, throughout
the city and Ge )rgetown are being simi.
larily arrayed. In many cases the ella
borate work of the decorstor's hand is
visible. All the Departments are closed
and the police offices are deserted.
Upon reaching the Treasury Depart.
ment this morning, Judge French, who
Is acting as Secretary of the
Treasury in the absence OF Secretary
Window issued the following order:
Ii is ordered as mark OF respect to the
memory OF President Garfield that the
Treasury department be closed during
the day. 1t is quite probable that the
Departments will Remain Closed
to business until after the funeral. This
will, however, be determined by the
cabinet. AS yet, little is known OF the
prospective arrangements, hut it is un-
derstOod that the Presidents remains
will lie in state several days in the ro-
tundS OF the Capital previous to being
taken to Cleveland for burial.

An Extre Session of the Senate Predicted.
WAsHEGroS, September 20 Senators
Logan and Don Cameron are very posi-
tive in the opinion that President
Arthur will convene the Senate in
special session very soon. They
speak 30 positively on this subject
that it is supposed they have had in
formation to that effect from President
Arthur. At the late Senator Burnside's
funeral in Providence several days ago.
Messrs. Logan and Dan Cameron told
other Senators present that il the Presi.
dent died there would be an extra
session OF the Senate without delay.
Senators Pugh, Beck, Vest and Jones
0 I'd other Democratic Senators openly
sy that the Democrats should first elect
Q president OF the Senate, then organize
it, and then swear in the new Senators.
They hold that the advan.
tage which gives the Democrats
po xer to organize the Senate comes to
lnem legitimately. Garland is quoted
as opposing this plan. Senator Pugh
says he don't believe Garland will offer
any opposition to his partisan plan for
organizing the Senate.

Guiteau Informed OF the Presidents

WASHINGTON, September 20.-Warden

morning and gives the following &C.
count OF the interview:
When l entered the cell, after the

"How is the PRESIDENT" l replied |
didn't know. | answered him in this
way in order to find out il he had gained
knowledge of his death. Guiteau re-
piled, "You ought to know; have you
not read the morning papers" said
that had, but could not rely on the
various statements in the papers. He
then said he had felt anxious about the
President for the past few days, and he
feared he was nearing the end. I in.
formed him, watching his expression
carefully, that the President
was dead. He instantly
sank down on his bed and appeared
very much agitated. After remaining
in this position some time he arose and
paced the floor, muttering something TO
himself as il praying. He then inqur-
ined at what time he died, and after be-
ing informed, said that he was glad that
the President had at last been relieved
from his suffering, as
He w ould Not Have Committed
the deed il he had known that he was to
suffer as he did. Guiteau did not ap-
pear 30 nervous as | supposed he would
when the news was broken to him, and
do not think he knew the President was
dead till 30 informed him, at least he
said he did not He does not manifest
any increased fear this morning, but he
has been in constant dread all along that
he would pe.aeat With -by a. mPheaa

MEMORIAL.
Dedicated to the memory Of Mrs. Belle
Van Sickle, Died near Shibley's
Point Mo-, Oct. q 1881

Before the early spring has dawned
The gay robes OF her bridal day
Before the glowing sun has warmed
And chased cold winters breath away
With promises to come again
And strew her path with summer slain
\ youth in manhood's early day
Led 10 the altar his fair bride
His manly strength her staff for syl
Her constant love his TO abide
And love like changless ever green
Lighted their path like glowing sheen
Spring grew apaee and summer came,
And summer waxed and waned too soon.
For who had thought that sum mer's day
Was really their hymsnial noon.
Who thought that lovely youthful bride
In early Autumn would have died2
All, while her life was young and fair.
Ere time with heavy wasting hand
Hal touched her brow or glossy hair,
Her spirit fled to the better land
Her pulses cease, their beating slow
Her hands are folded, snow on snow.
And he who lately stood erect
In manhood's strength, and knew no grie
Now weeps beside new made grave
From sorrow finding no relief
but INT thine head grief stricken man,
Death cannot hold her in mis- span.
For She had tasted of the love
OF Coo which casteth out all fear,
And Christ has been within the grave
And now no terror 'bideih there
Thy bride more lovely than before
Waits on the radiant golden shore
