dent Arthur has determined to go through
to Cleveland in company with the cabinet. An
additional guard has been placed about the
cottage for the purpose of preserving order
while the remains are lying in state. Hun
dreds of people are arriving.
VIEWING THE REMAINS.
Arrangements have been completed and no.
tice given that all those desiring may view the
remains of the president. The line has
formed and the people are passing in single
file through the cottage. Two sentinels are
stationed at each side of the entrance to prevent
more than one person entering at time.
The casket is very unpretentious, being cov-
cred with black cloth, and with the exception
of silver mountings, perfectly plain. The
only decoration is large "V" shaped hollow
palm which extends from the face of the cas-
ket upwards. The remains are lying in one OF
the rooms on the first floor of the cottage and
people pass in at the east door and without
stopping pass out at the west. The appearance
of the late president is so changed that persons
familiar with his rational countenance would
scarcely recognize him. The church bells are
tOlling and the crowd continues to increase.
THE FUNERAL TRAIN.
The cars which are to be used for the funeral
train have just been run up to Francklyn cot
tage. The engine and coaches are now In
readiness to start. The entire train is heavily
draped in mourning. The line formed from
the hotel to Francklyn cottage has been dimin-
ished somewhat, but Ocean avenue, for two
blocks in either direction, is blocked with
vehicles. Extreme solemnity pervades the
assemblage.

The following scripture was read: "Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord. Yea saith
the spirit that they may rest from their labors
and their works do follow them" We know
said the pastor, that if our earthly house o.
this tabernacle were dissolved we have build
ing of God, house not made with hands
eternal in the heavens. Therefore we are al
ways confident, knowing that whilst we are a
home in the body we are absent from th
Lord. We are confident, l say, an(
willing rather to be absent from
the body and to be presen
