come" and the crowd fell back with
barred headsa as
MRS. GARFIELD
walked out Of the cottage leaning upon
the arm Of her son Harry. The boys
face was white, set, and firm. There
was no sign of tears. Mrs. Garfield
was in deep mourning, with a black
veil half across her face, leaving pOr-
ton of it visible. She walked by the
crowd with firm, vigorous step. Her
face was set and under remarkable
control. She looked neither to the
right nor the left. She was followed
by Gen. Swain with Miss Mollie Gar
field. The little girl emulated her
mothers example and showed no signs
of any emotion. Mrs. Rockwell, Col.
Rockwell, and Miss Lulu Rockwell
came slowly after them, and then a
party of Mrs. Garfeld's lady friends
who have been with her during the
last trouble, and some of the attend
ants of the white house. They walked
to the car, No. 120, the same used to
bring Mrs. Garfield here when the gen.
eral came two weeks ago. In a mo-
ment they had taken their seats. The
curtains were not pulled down; while
the train remained, the Garfield fami-
ly sat in full sight of the waiting
crowd.
THE CABINET OFFICERS,
headed by Secretary Blaine, came out
a moment afterward and waited about
with their overcoats on their arms un-
til the caskct was brought from the
house. Chef Justice Waite was with
the party. 1t was said by one of the
under officials of the party that there
was an intention of administering the
oath again to President Arthur, and
that was the special reason why the
chief justice was going to Washington,
A moment before this the governor of
New Jersey, attended by his staff, came
up to pay their official respects to the
memory of the late president. At five
minutes of 10 the casket was brought
out by several attendants and carried
into the funeral car. The servants
followed, climbing into the baggage
car just beyond. The train, as then
made up, stood rs follows: The car
with the Garfield family next to the
depot entrance; then the car for the
cabinet, the surgeons, and one or two
invited officials, the funeral car with
the guard of honor and two officers in
full uniform, and the baggage-car with
the servants. Conspicuous among the
latter was Daniel Sprigg, the body SER
want of Gen. Garfield.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR
did not join the train at the Elberon
hotel. He was waiting below in the
special train that brought him up from
New York this morning. At precisely
10 o'clock to the second the train
moved slowly out to the tolling of the
little chapel bell. The bell on the en-
gine was also tolled. The train went
at very slow pace until the Elberon
station was reached. There there were
perhaps about $50 people, and fifty or
sixty carriages waiting on the bluff over
looking the special, that stood south
of the station about forty rods. En-

AS the depot engine was shunted he
backed his engine slowly down, and
fireman coupled it to the baggage-car,
so that the train stood in reversed
order from that occupied by it when
1t started from the ElberOn hotel. the
car for the Garfield family coming last.
When the train was ready to be start
ed, President Arthur, dressed as he
was yesterday, wearing still the same
pale nervous look. stepped down out of
his car, and with Gen. Grant, entered the
cabinet car. Gen. Grant took the Sec
ond from the last seat on the right
hand side of the car. President Ar
thur sat in the next seat in front of
Gen. Grant, by himself, and the next
seat in front of that in which Presi-
dent Arthur sat was occupied by Sec
retary Blaine. AS the train moved
off President Arthur had his hands ON
the back of Secretary Blaine's seat and
was leaning forward, engaged in con-
versation with the secretary.
At seven minutes after 10 the signal
was given by Conductor Whelpley, and
the train moved out silently upon its
road to Washington.
