trains that were leaving were rushed
through the gates. A great crowd pressed
against the iron ratings Of the gates
and peered curiously through, anxious
to catch a glimpse of the sorrow
full procession. As IL passed by
and through, tho police cndcavored to
keep the people back to prevent confusion,
but they could not do 80. Army and navy
officers standing around lent their aid in
preserving order, but 1t was an uphill task,
and the people believing that they had
some rights, not only pressed against the
gates, but clambercd upon the ratings and
climbed the posts, determined to see the
cortcge. And
A sad Cortege IL Was.
Amid the strains of mufiled music, the
body-bearers removed the casket from the
hcarsc. These latter lifted the caskct ten
derby upon their shoulders and entered the
gate with slow step.
They were preceded by three policemen.
AS they entered the Enclosure the army Off.
GERS, including Gems. Sherman, Sheridan and
Hancock, stood with bare heads on one side
and Admiral Nichols, with the naval officers
on the other.
There was a blast of bugles from the
artillery corps without, and all stood silent
watching Cor the bearers of the casket and
its followers to pass. Senator Beck, Mar
shall Jewel, Governor Hoyt, of Pcnnsylva-
mia and son, Sergeant-at-Arms Bright, Mar
shall Henry, Commissioner Loring, Sevel-
lion Brown, Senator Jones, of Nevada, and
Attorney. General MacVcagh walked past
the bearers Of the body and hurried up the
platform.
The Attorney General was acting rs
usher. When his party was seated within
the train he gave the necessary signal, and
the funeral cortege passed in rs follows
Revs. DIR. Rankin and Power and DIR. Rey-
burn, arm in arm, abreast. Soldiers bearing
the casket. AS this passed by the crowd
peered through the railing, and
SObs Broke the stiffness.
Ladies who were crushed in with others
cried piteously, and there were tears in the
eyes ofthe stoutest and most hardened men
who witnessed tho spectacle. The casket
was unadorned save by the branches ofpalm
and the elegant wreath contributed by the
Queen of England.
The b0dy-bearers walked slowly and
carefully, while the muflled drums with.
out rolled and the buglcs and bands made
the welkin ring with sad cadences With
out obstruction the body was finally depos-
tied in the car. The bearers mounted the
platform and the doors were closed.
The army and navy officers followed the

walked in alone. After him came Senators
and Representatives in Congress, indis

When the last one was in and had Sc

blast from the bugles and a sharp ring from
the depot gong. The wheels Of the train
bearing the Presidents remains moved
slowly and started on its journey. AL

Virginia avenue thousands of people wert

watched it with fearful eyes, but without
uttering word. When the train hat
