AT TMENTOR.
Speaking of the burial place, Mr.. Ru.
dOlph, Mrs. Garfeld's brother, said to
Rev. Hendrick yesterday afternoon
"0f course Lucretia will decide that,
but am surprised to hear Cleveland
mentioned, as should suppose it would
be either at Hiram, where two of the
children are buried, or here" HE be-
longs to us; he belongs here" said Mr.,
Hendrick. "This place he bought and
spent much care upon, that he might
have home, and he loved to think and
talk of a peaceful old age to be spent
here with his family about him. All
through his sickness, his constant long
ing was for Mentor. Yes, he should
rest here, | think, upon this farm.
would have an ample space on one of
the high knOlls set apart and cOnse-
Grated forever to the sacred purpose"
"That must all be settled by Lucretia, "
said Mr.. Rudolph. ''He was always
guided by her."
Mr.. Hendrick said he knew it to be a
fact that General Garfield was planning
to buy lot in the village cemetery
and that the negotiations were broken
off only by his assassination,
THE JOURNEY HOME.
This morning the remains were taken
to Washington in special train, fur
nished by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The train consisted of four cars the first
being devoted to baggage, the second to
the remains and the escort, the third to
Mrs. Garfield and members of the Presi-
dents household, and the last will be
occupied by the Cabinet and their fami-
lies. The departure from ElberOn took
place at 10 o'clock. The coaches were
appropriately draped. The train ar
rived in Washington between four and
five o'clock this evening.
THE CoRoNER's INQUEST.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 2O.-The mem
bers of the Cabinet, with the exception
of Blaine and Lincoln, arrived at the
ElberOn at 10:45 a. M, and went imme-
diately to Attorney General MacVeagh's
cottage. In response to an inquiry,
Secretary Window said nothing has yet
been definitely determined upon regard
ing the inquest upon the remains of the
President. He believed the authorities
were now looking up the law upon the
subject. 1t is maintained by persons
who are acquainted with the laws of
the State, that the inquest cannot be
prevented if insisted upon, and that in
the event of the conclusion that the
Presidents death was caused by the
gun-shOt wound, the criminals pres
ence can be demanded in the State,
This question is creating considerable
excitement and annoyance, inasmuch
as if the law is enforced in accordance
with this idea, the remains will be nee
essarily delayed here until Guiteau's
arrival.
INQUEST ABANDONED.
The proposed COrOner's inquest on the
Presidents remains has been abandoned
by the local authorities.
WITH REFERENCE TO THE INQUEST.
NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 2O.-United States
District Attorney Keasbey has been
summoned to Long Branch by Attorney
General MacVeagh, and asked to bring

The body will
LIE IN STATE
In the rOtunda of the Capitol Thursday
and Friday, after which the remains
will be again taken in charge of by the
Pennsylvania Railroad and conveyed to

dence in Washington, upon which there
