FARIBAULT, Sept. 23.-In conformity to the
governors recommendation, a memorial SER
vice was held to-day in the Cathedral of Our
Merclful Savior. Some time before the hour
OF service every seat unreserved was packed
to its fullest capacity. At few moments be.
fore the Shattuck Military school marched
slowly up Sixth street with arms reversed, and
their beautiful flag, won last June, at half
mast. AT short distance behind them fol-
lowed the Knights Templar. At few mo-
ments after the bishop, clergy and Seabury
divinity students entered at the front door and
proceeded up the center aisle to the chancel,
the bishop reading short sentences in the bur-
la. service.
As soon as they reached their seats the choir
struck up the chant from the Fifteenth and
Nineteenth psalms, which was rendered in
most impressive manner. This was followed
by lesson from /. Cor, 18th chapter, and
hymn, after which the bishop preached.
Taking for his text part of the 34fh verse of
the third chapter of II. Samuel, Gas man
falleth before wicked men, so faIleth thou.
And all the people wept again over him"
The sermon proceeded with that calm dignity
which only cultured man can command,
each reference to the late president presenting
new lines OF beauty in his most noble charac-
ter. The bishop took the position that the
sublime patience and Christian fortitude of
him over whom the nation mourns in his long
struggle with death, may have deeper 1nflu-
ence Tor good on the world than any efforts of
MS life, however great, could have effected.
The sermon was followed by the hymn smear
er, My God, to Thee" In this the whole con-
gregation Joined, with a heartiness that made
the old cathedral tremble on its foundations.
The other churches in town have deferred
their services until Sunday.
Departure of the Funeral Train from
Washington.
The coffin containing the remains of Presi-
dent Garfield was slowly borne from the build
ing in which he had gained so many laurels
and triumphs.> The coffin was followed by
President Arthur, leaning on the arm of Sec
retary Blaine, and by the members of the
cabinet, and the other distinguished persons,
and in quarter of an hour the rotunda was
nearly deserted. During the progress of the
ceremonies the appearance of the rotunda was
solemn and impressive. The chairs, of which
there were thirteen hundred in the hall, were
all occupied, while many persons remained
standing in the aisles. The glitter of uniforms
OF the army and navy and the court uniforms
of the representatives of the diplomatic CORPS,
served but to make even more impressive the
solemnity of the scene.
The Russian minister was unable to attend
on account of illness. He was represented bv
the secretary of the Russian legation. The
army was represented by Gems. Sherman, Han
cock, and Sheridan and 125 officers; the navy
by Rear Admiral E. s. Nichols and fifty
officers, and the marine corps by Col G. G.
McCauly and sixty officers.
Immediately after the close of the services
the floral decorations were all removed (Mrs.
Garfield having requested they be sent to her
home at MentOr) except the beautiful wreath,
the gift of Queen Victoria, which had been
placed upon the head of the coffin when the
lid was closed, and which remained there when
the coffin was borne to the house, and will be
upon it till the remains are buried. This
touching
TRIBUTE OF QUEEN VICTORIA
greatly moved Mrs. Garfield. The coffin was
borne to the hearse, which was in waiting at
the foot Of the main steps on the east front,
and was raised to its place by six pall-bearers
selected by Mrs. Garfield from the members of
the Christian church. While this was being
done, the immense multitude, which filled
the entire space in front of the capitol, and
OverfOwed its adjacent streets, reverentIy un-
covered their heads, and preserved an un-
broken quiet. The officiating clergyman fol-
lowed Immediately after the coffin. The army
and navy offices comprising the body-guard,
about the hearse, the army upon the right
and the navy upon the left. A single gun
was fired from Hannewald's battery. The
Second artillery band played funeral march,
and the procession moved around the south
front Of the capitol to the avenue.
AS the procession moved minute-guns were
fired from the military posts and forts sur
rounding the city, and church bells tolled. At
least 10000 people were gathered about the
capitol to witness the start of the procession.
while along the march to Sixth street the
crowd was even greater than on the 4th of
March. Everywhere it was most orderly and
quiet, and as the hearse containing the re-
mains moved along the avenue, from the very
door of the capitol to the entrance of the
depot, all heads were uncovered. On
REACHING THE DEPOT
the military were drawn up in line upon the
opposite side of the street, facing the Sixth
street entrance. The remains were borne from
the hearse upon the shoulders OF six soldiers
of the Second artillery, and placed in the fun
eral car.
Ten officers from the army and navy, select
ed as guard of honor, stood with uncovered
heads as the remains were taken from the
hearse, and then escorted them to the car.
The diplomatic corps and others who were
not going upon either of the trains did not
alIght from their carriages. President Arthur
entered the depot with Secretary Blame, and,
with ex-President Grant, was driven up the
avenue to his temporary home at the resi-
dence of Senator Jones, of Nevada.
To avoid the crowd about the depot, Mrs.
Garfield was takens to the corner of Maine av.
enue and Sixth street, and the engine and two
cars, including the one intended for her use,
