in danger of giving way, but she controlled
herself by an effort until she left the room in
company with Mrs. Rockwell.
Mrs. J. Stanley Brown gives the following
description of the death bed scene: When
Mrs. Brown entered the room Mrs. Rockwell
and Miss Lulu, who had just come in with
Mrs. Garfield and Mollie, left the room and
stood in the hall outside room. Dr. Bliss
stood at the head of the bed feeling the pulse
as he came in taking his place among the
people already mentioned in a previous dis
patch! Drs. Agnew and Hamilton were try
ing to revive the President with hypodermic
injections of brandy. Col. Rockwell then
went out moment and returned
with Mollie Garfield. As the Presi-
dent passed into sinking condition
and began to breathe in slow gasps. Col.
Rockwell went quietly to the windows and
quickly closed them. Mr.. Brown walked to
Mrs. Garfield, and she leaned upon his arm
as the President slowly breathed his last. Mrs.
Garfield was calm save for the convulsive
shudder? that at times overmastered her.
Mollie came up to her a moment after, and
the mother put her arm around her, as the
little grl sobbed bitterly. Her weeping and
the Presidents gasping breath were the only
sounds in the room. Then Gen.
Swain came to Miss Mollie, fearing
her grief would be too much
for her mother and led her out of the room.
There was period of gasping and then the
president ceased to breathe. Mrs. Rockwell
placed her arm around Mrs. Garfield and led
her away. AS Mrs. Garfield left the room she
turned and said to Mr.. Brown as she wrung
her hands, 81 shall depend upon YOU"

LONDON, Sept 2O.--The Times says: The
death of President Garfield is regarded as hard
ly less than national calamity in all ranks,
from the queen to the peasant There is most
heartfelt sympathy for The bereaved widow
and injured mother. The career of President
Garfield is OF kind which appeals to the best
feeling and most cherished traditions of our
people. His early poverty, his wonderful in
dependence, his hard won attainments,
his integrity of character had all caused
his career to be watched of that of
man with exceptional powers, and he was
regarded as sstanding out very distinctly from
among the majority of politicians. Even
among the Russian Nihilists Guiteau's crime
will excite nothing but loathing and execra-
ton; There is, perhaps, less reason to fear
the disastrous political consequences from the
sudden transfer of power to the vice president
in the present instance than on any former
occasion. 1t is clear that Vice President
Arthur who now assumes supreme authority,
will be restrained by the obligations which
public opinion will not allow him, if he de-

A Beau,ifM City of the Dead.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 20.-Lake View cem-
etery, where President Garfield's remains will
be laid to rest, embraces 500 acres on the south
side of Euclid avenue, just beyond the limits
of Cleveland, five miles from the business
center of the city. On the other side of the
avenue is Wade park, and in close proximity
is the site where the new Western Reserve
university buildings are being erected. Ma
ture seems to have designed this spot for
the purpose to which it has been devoted,
and all which art and money could do to en-
hance the natural beauties has been done. The
grounds are owned by an incorporated asso-
citation of Cleveland, gentlemen of wealth and
refinement, incorporated under law which
requires all gains and profits from the sale of
lots and otherwise to be appropriated to the
ADoRNMENT AND REPAIR
of the cemetery. The land was purchased ten
years ago and laid out by Landscape designers
and engineers elected for eminence in their
nrofession. The wooded hills, grassy valleys,
secluded hooks, winding drives, sinuous
walks and running brooks, and are the con-
snicuous landmarks. The association adopt
ed plan different from any other cemetery,
as expressed tersely in the original prospect
us, in the following language: GA feeling
is growing in the public mind that burial
should be made where the quiet repose of
the dead may be assured forever. The hu-
man heart clings to the grave of its departed
hopes, and seeks consolation in rear
ing monuments and emblems of beauty over
the remains of the departed loved ones. This
cannot be fully done in the tum ultuous din of
cities, but in the quiet verdure, under the
broad and cheerful light of heaven, where the
harmonious and ever changing face of nature
reminds us by its resuscitating influence that
TO DIE IS TO LIVE AGAIN.
With this sentiment promting the plans the
cemetery has become, IN beauty and tasteful

large crowd assembled at Elberon to hear
the result. DR.. Bliss stated the autopsy had
been very tedious one and that the time
occupied in searching for the ball alone was
nearly three. quarters of an hour. The doctor
said Mrs. Garfield was feeling much relieved
since the autopsy, inasmuch as it resulted in
establishing the fact the patients death
was inevitable. The doctor stated
the point of the ball was in somewhat blunt
or battered condition, caused by the force
with which it struck, while in other respects
its original shape was not altered. DR.. Bliss
took charge of the bullet and sealed it for
preservation until the courts should require
its production. One of the first discoveries
made was large clot of blood in the heart
which corroborated the opinion of the attend
ing surgeons regarding the immediate cause
of death. The ball llitself was found in the re-
gion of the heart.

Another account.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 20,-Previous to his
death the only words spoken by the President
were that he ha9 severe pain in his heart. 1t
is supposed by the surgeons that death was
occasioned by clot of blood forming in the
heart. DIR. Bliss was the first one notified of
the Presidents expression of pain, and upon
entering the room he at once saw the end was
near. The members of the family were imme-
diately summoned to the bedside. All arrived
and perfect quiet prevailed. Mrs. Garfield
bore the trying ordeal with great foltitude
and exhibited unprecedented courage. After
death became evident she quietly withdrew to
her own room. There she sat, a heart
stricken widow, full of grief, but with too
much courage TO exhibit it to those about
her. She was laboring under terrible strain,
and despite her efforts tears flowed from her
eyes and her lips became drawn by her noble
attempt to bear the burden with which she
had been afflicted
Miss Mollie was affected and bursts of tears
flowed from the chlld's eyes, Notwithstanding
her noble effort to follow the example of her
mother.
The death scene was never to be forgotten.
Perfect quiet prevailed, and there was not
murmur heard while the President was sink
ing. After death had been pronounced the
body was properly arranged by DIR. s. A.
Boynton.

The Dead President.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 2O.-Benedict, the un-
dertaker, describing the dead presidents ap-
pearance, said his face has lifelike appear
cnce. There is no look of pain on it. He
looked as if he had fallen quietly asleep. If
he suffered extreme pain his sufferinge must
have been short. His form is greatly wasted,
but 1t is not skeleton by any means. The
president would be dressed in the same suit of
clothes he wore on delivery of his Inaugural
ton address, with the exception of a pair of silk
stockings knit for him by his mother and
lately received. The coffin is six feet three
inches hong, covered with black cloth with
velvet mohldings. The handles and thumb
screws are solid silver. The inside is up
holstered with white satin. The coffin plate
is of silver and this inscription written by
Attorney General MacVeagh, is as follows:
"James Abraham Garfield, born Nov. 10,
1881, died president of the United States Sept,
10, 1881"
