WASHINGTON, September 21.-The
train bearing the tenantless body of
James A. Garfield, late President ol
the United States. shortly after four
o'clock this afternoon moved SLOWLY

avenue and large crowds of people
gathered along the route of the sol

Capitol. In the immediate vicinity
|of the depot a compact mass of hu-
|manity had assembled, and as the
funeral train, with its heavy drapery,
passed every head was uncovered
|and bowed in reverence to the sol

had been at a stand still for some
moments before any signs of life
within were visible.
MRS. GARFIELD APPEARS.
Then Secretary Blaine appeared,
followed by diminutive form veil

Mrs. Garfield, who was followed by
her son Harry. Resting upon the
right arm of Secretary Blaine and
the left arm Of her son, this sad
group slowly moved into the main

spot where the President sank under
the murderous bullet of the assassin
|on the fatal second of. July. The
vast crowd reverently drew back SO
as to allow ample space for those
who formed the funeral procession

The sale of seats for the two performances of Jack Sheppard to be given at Carll's Opera House tomorrow afternoon and evening in dicate great attendance. The prices are so very low for such an entertainment that a full house seems settled fact. The com pany are said to be excellet, n and such prom ise made by managers to whom New Haven is indebted for the production of Henry v. p "Julius C@sar,'' 'tGinderellar and other splendid pieces should certainly be accepted without discount. The play is melodramatic, and deals with events and with stratum of London society, not exactly asthetic, yer it affords an insight of certain customs of Eng land in the last century and points an excel lent moral. Jack Sheppard, although of the same school as George Barnwell, each being a touching story of the wicked adventures and brief life of a,wayward apprentice, is not so lugubrious, for at intervals in the progress of it's dramatic relations it admits of songs and dances by it's prominent characters. Possi- bly, for this reason to so excellent vocalist and danseuse as Jennie Yeamans is assianed the part of the hero.

 On Sunday evening, March 13, man who had been chopping wood, or who hao the oversight of gang chopping wood Tn New town for the Barnum- Richardson company, mysteriously disappeared, and as day after day went by and nothing was heard of him,
 suspicious that there had been foul play be- gan to be excited. It seems that on the Sun day evening in question he had an alterca- tion with some young men resident in Sandy Hook Gin Newtown) and Q crowd of them were seen following him and throwing stones at him. Afterwards he called at g house on the principal street and asked leave to stay all night. He was bleeding from bad wound on the head, but did not seem either fighty or physically weak from his injuries
 The family told him they could not keep him and he left. This is the last that was known of him alive. A The next morning his hat,
 stained with blood, was picked up in the street. It was not supposed that he had run away, as he left his clothes behind and
 wages due him to the amount of $40. His fellow workmen getting anxious regarding his fate, a large party was organized which secured the country around searching for him. They met with no success, and yester-
 day the Rubber Mill pond was dragged A New Haven gentleman who returned from there yesterday learned that the search had
 at last been successful, and that the body had
 been found in the Rubber Mill pond and a l jury of inquest empanelled- Much excite,
 ment prevailed and the impression was prey, alent that the deceased had been foully dealt l with and thrown into the water to conceal | the crime. A post naOrtena examination was being held. The missing mans brother had | come on from Massachusetts a day or two
