The coffin was black, with silver han

with the following inscription: flames

with white satin. Across the top, and
crossing each other, were two long
leaves of palm. Only the face and
shoulders were visible, and one needed
to know that all that remained of
James a. Garfield lay there to recall
the features so familiar during life.
The face, TO those who knew Gen. Gar

have been recognized. Even the feat

an expression about the lower lip which

brow had lost the massive appearance

The mill hands and town people at
Bristol had evidently turned out en-
masse, for their number was very large.
and they manifested the subdued in
terest and reverent attitude which was
noticeable wherever the cortege pass

here. All along the route where the
train swiftly ran, men, women, and
children stood by the fences and on
the banks skirting the road, with un-
covered heads aud serious aspects, try
ing as best they could to catch a
glimpse of the caSket containing the
remains. Back from the road as far

was in subdued tones. The different
members of the cabinet talked quietly
with President Arthur and Gen. Grant,
and occasionally some of the inmates

The Arrival at Washington.


A vast crowd of people gathered at
the Baltimore and Potomac depot this
afternoon to witness the arrival of the
train bearing the remains of President
Garfield and the funeral party. The
people thronged the sidewalks of
Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street
in the vicinity of the depot, and were
kept back from the street by heavy
roping, stretched for a square in either
direction. At three o'clock detach-
ments of the United States marines,
United States army, local military or.
ganiZations and Communicates, arrived
and formed in line on Sixth street, so
as to cut off Missouri avenue, B street.
and Sixth street, in the neighborhood
of the depot, from the crowd. De
tachments of the District police were
also present, and aided in keeping the
people from obstructing the way.
The windows overlooking the depot
were filled with people. The utmost
good order and decorum prevailed
among the dense mass. The depot
was heavily and tastefully draped in
mourning. The first to arrive, who
were connected with the reception of
the funeral party, were
THE NAVAL OFFICERS,
headed by Rear Admiral Nichols, they
having marched from the navy depart
ment. They passed through the depot
and out on the platform beside which
the train passed. They were in full
uniform, with cockade hats. Next
came Gen. Sherman and staff, and Off
GERS of the army, retired and on duty
in Washington. Among the others
who were on the platform were Com
missioners living and Dent, of the dis
trict, Sergt. Dinsmore, of the white
house, Gen. Beall, Dist. Atty. Corkhill,
Mr.. Crump, steward of the white house,
Private Secretary Brown, who had ar
rived on an earlier train, and Mr.. Pru-
den, of the executive mansion, and
Gen. Meigs. Albert Hawkins, General
Garfields coachman, stood there also,
looking very mournful. Some one
spoke to him about having driven the
presidents carriage with Mrs. Garfield
in it when he was taken away. "Yes,
said he sadly; 81 will never drive it
again." There were no cheerful faces
in that select gathering on the plat
form awaiting the incoming train.
Some one remarked that it was quite a
different scene from that when Gen.
Garfield first entered that depot after
he had been elected president There

On the Train.
A SAD JOURNEY.

A representative of the Times was
upon the funeral train from Long
Branch to Washington. The following
is his report of the journey: The
presidential funeral train drew out
slowly from the Francklyn cottage.
and, reaching Elberon station, came to
a halt. Here President Arthur was in
waiting, and the cabinet left their car
to meet him. He entered the third
car Of the funeral train set apart for
the use of the cabinet, accompanied by
General Grant and Secretary Blaine,
after whom closely followed Secre-
taries Window, Lincoln, and the re-
mainder of the cabinet Then came
Col. Fred Grant and Mr.. Reed, Presi-
dent Arthur's private secretary. The
train at five minutes past 10 started
slowly on its way. 1t was under the
supervision of Mr.. S. n. Provost, SUI
perintendent of the Philadelphia di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad,
assisted by Principal Train Dispatcher
Chas. Watt The first station out
from Elberon was Asbury Park. and
here a large cOncourse of people had
gathered. They stood with bowed and
uncovered heads as the train passed.
At Freehold and Sea Girt the same
view of sorrowihg people presented it
self. At Monmouth Junction, where
the train passed on to the Pennsylva-
mia road it was expected that Senators
Edmunds of Vermont and Jones of Ne
vads would join the party, but they
did not make their appearance; but
