Mrs. Rockwe II ard DR.. Boynton and
G. d. Rockwell came from the Franck-
lyn cottage and entered the first coach.
The members of the Cabinet and their

which had characterized her manner
throughout. V cry soon President

President Garfield, which left Elberon
at IC a. M, reached Washington at
4.35 p. m. the passage from Elberon to
Washington was one continued man
Hesitation of sympathy and sorrow. In
the populous cities, in the smaller
villages ard even in tie country
through which the train passed, demon
strations Of sympathy and sorrow were
everywhere seen. At the larger cities
muititudes cf people assembled and
stood absolutely silent ith heads un-
covered as the train passed by, while
the tolling of bells, flags flying at half
mast and the funeral drapery which
covered many buildings, all added to
the solemnity of the scene. at ngmer.
Gus points along the route beautiful
floral offerings were observed, and at
several places the track was literally
covered for distance of more than a
hundred yards with ferns and doWers.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1881-09-29

A vast throDg Of people were as
sembled about the depot to do honor to
the illustrious dead, every avenue and
approach being denSely packed with
jostling, but in every instance quiet
and orderly citizens.
As the train rolled slowly into the
depot every head upon the platform
was uncovered, and a stiffness as of
the grave pervaded the vast throng,
which for more than an hour had been
patiently waiting upon the outside.
Soon Mrs. Garfield, assisted 10y Secre-
tary Blaine, descended from the car
and taking his ann upon her right
and that of her son Harry upon her
left she walked directly to the carriage
in waiting, She catered the state
carriage and was followed by her
daughter Mollie, her son Harry, Mrs.
Rockwell and Miss Rockwell.
AS the casliet was being borne by
eight soldiers to the hearse the Marine
band played NEARER my God to Thee, :"
while every head was bowed and many
eyes We're dimmed. After the caSket
had been placed in the hearse the re
mainder of the party entered their
carriages and took their place in the
procession. President Arthur'S car
riage followed Immediately after the
hearse, and in it were President
Arthur, Secretary Blaine, Chief JUS
tice Waite and Secretary Wind m. The
carriage containing Mrs. Garfield and
daughter were driven down pennsyl-
yania avenue 10 FOur-and-a-half street,
and thence t. the residence Of Attorney
General MacVeagh, whose guests they
will be during their stay in the city.
The JilicerS Of the army and navy
drew up IN parallel lines on either side
Of the hearse, AID the Marine band
played with much sentiment, NEARER
my God to Thee" With solemn tread
the remains Of President Garfield were
borne into the rotunda and placed up
on The catafalqne.
At $50 p. M, the lid Of the casket
was opened and the face of the late
President was exposed to view. Noise
lessly President Arthur and Secretary
Blaine approached and gaz9d upon the
face Of the dead and then slowly and
sadly passed out Of the hall. y line
was formed by Sefgeant-at-ArmS
Bright and one by one those present ad-
vanced and glanced at the emaciated
and diScolored face Of the dead Presi-
dent,
The public at large was then admit
ted, and hundreds Of persons testified
by their reverential conduct and
mournful countenances the sorrow
which they experienced in looking up-
on the features of their murdered
President. THE body will lie in state
day and night until Friday evening.
Mrs. Garfield to-day expressed her
sincere desire not agaiG 10 see the

THE LAST JOURNEY.

Friday afternoon at O'Clock the fu-
neral train carrying the mortal remains
of President Garfield left Washington
for Cleveland. The train passed oyer
the Northern Central to Bridgeport,
opposite Harrisburg, thence via Penn
sylvania Railroad to Cleveland. No
stoppages were made along the route
and no ceremonies had. Mrs. Garfield
was altogether ayerse to these demon
strations. But thousands of people had
gathered at the different stations to see
the passing train. The caSket con-
tanning the remains could lie distinctly
seen through the large glass windows
by those who were fortunate enough to
get near the train.
AT CLEVELAND.
Exactly at 1920 on Monday the fu-
neral services began in the presence of
a vast multitude of people. The burial
service of the Episcopal Church was

shot King JOSHUA, and the king said to

WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY ABOUT WOLFE.

WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY ABOUT WOLFE.
1t looks like the beginning of re-
volt destined to purify, elevate and
cleanse the party politics of the State
soma time in the future. 1t is i'm
possible TO predict how large segment
of the party Wolfe will carry with him
in the present campaign. If he takes
25,CO0 or $4,000 votes, or one Republl-
can in Iifteen, the Democratic candi-
date for Treasurer is elected.-North
UdttS Record, Ind.
There is no mistaking the fact that
Mr.. Wolfe has very respectable fol-
lowing In the matter and he seems de-
termined 10 test the full strength Of
the Independent power in the State.
The Democracy will possibly profit by
this clashing of the clans, and should
they nominate popular candidate may
carry off the prize.-Shamotin Times
Dcm.
The strength of both parties will be
developed as the campaign proceeds
Wolfe is an able man, ard as he has
given out that he will stump the State
he may do some harm at least many
Republicans are of this opinion.-
Deldcare County Republican.
A Good Year for Independents.
From the Bloomsbury Columbian, Dem.
II the Independents have the cou-
rage to maintain their convictions the
year 1881 will see the overthrCw of
Cameron and the enfranchising Of
thousands of voters who have blindly
followed the directions Of the machine
managers.
The Issue Between Wolfe and Bailey.
From the Titusyille Petroleum World. Rep.
General Bailey represents the princi-
pie that might makes right in party
action, while Mr.. Wolfe represents the
idea of the absolute supremacy Of the
popular will and the integrity of in-
dividual Independence. The candida
cy Of Bailey advocates perpetuatiCn
of machine ule and the wrongs it has
fostered in party management, while
that of VOL fe upholds the doctrine
which teaches that a party incapable
of correcting its own abuses has no
claim to the support and confidence OF
the people.
Serious Trouble In the Ranks.
From the Northern Tier Reporter, Dem.
Without doubt this trouble in the
Republican ranks will be more serious
than the Stalwarts of the party are
willing to acknowledge.
Give Wolfe a Fair Hearing.
From the Easton Free Press, Ind. Rep.
Mr. Wolfe has promised to appeal to
sound common sense on or about
OctOber1. We shall give him fair
hearing and, in common with thous
ands of other Republicans who can.
not favor Cameron dictation and ar
bitrary machine rule, judge him by
his arguments.
