The Nations Dead.


the Late Lamented President Garfield.
Touching Scenes and Incidents.
A nation bowed down with grief has devoted It,
self during the week past TO the all absorbing
business OF paying the last sad tributes Of love
and respect to the late lamented president In &C.
cordance with the arrangements for the funeral
services as ordered by the cabinet the remains OF
the late president were removed from Elberon by
special train to Washington Wednesday, the Dist
the remains lay in state In the capitol Thursday
and Friday funeral services were held in the 70.
tunda OF the capitol Friday afternoon, when the
funeral train took the dead president from the
scenes Of his fame to Cleveland for burial In Lake
View cemetery; the final funeral ceremonies we're
held In that city Monday and the mortal remains
Of Garfield were committed TO Mother Earth
FROM EIaBERoN.
The train which had come like the flight of a
weaver's shuttle from Washington to lay the
languishing president within view OF ocean, where
hope had revived under the influence OF Its heal
ing breezes, on Wednesday bore back to the cap
ital, amid the tears of the nation, its honored
freight the thread OF life broken and the fabric
OF his earthly existence abruptly finished. On
Wednesday morning within the half darkened
death chamber at the Francklyn cottage the re-
mains of the patient sufferer lay in state for a
brief hour Rank and wealth, laborers, servants,
little children, women OF fashion, fishermen and
sailors, side by side to get last glimpse of
him whose suff erings had made him brother to
all mankind. lie lay in a heavy plain casket
