we reached this junction after n slow run
from Pittsburg. We have lost considerable
time during the trip, which, added to the
fact that we left Washington one hour and
twenty minutes behind the schedule time,
will make us later than we expected in
reaching Cleveland. We transfer here from
the rails of the Pittsburg Fort Wayne &
Chicago to the Cleveland branch.
The manifestations of grief all along tho
route are very touching. At one of the

The train bearing President Garfeld's re
mains has just reached the depot. There
are countless thousands of people in the

as the casket is being borne to its place in
the procession.
