all been completed for the reception of th remains at the depot in this city an hour b. | fore the train arrived and the casket was in mediately placed in large hearse.

Tn | first to alight from the funeral train wa General Sherman and staff in full uniform Mrs. Garfield, her son Harry and her daugh | ter Mollie first entered a carriage. As Mrs Garfield passed down the platform leanin | on the arm of her son and accompanied b, Secretary Blaine, every eye was upon her She was closely yelled, but her face could b ! easily seen. Her expression was somewha careworn but firm, and she exhibited re markable fortitude as she passed through tn throngs of people about the depot. As sool as the remains had been deposited in tn church the church bells commenced tollinl and continued until the procession reached the public square Ex-President Hayes oc cupied a carriage with Secretary Windom with whom he came from the cars arm in arm Colonels Rockwell and Swain, the old friends of the deceased President and who were con stantly with him throughout his illness, also occupied one carriage by themselves. Dr. S. Boynton, the family physician, accompanied some of the ladies' Mrs Garfield was driven at once to the residence of Mir. Mason, whose guest she will be while in the city. Colonel A. F.

Young and Mr. Judd, the telegraph messen- ger of the Executive Mansion; Chief Clerk Brown, of the State department, and Mr. Sweet. private secretary to Secretary Lin. coin, occupied carriages immediately after the members of the Cabinet.
 The Congressional train arrived about if. teen minutes after the funeral train, and the joint committees of the House of Con- riages and driven with the procession to the public square.
 The car in which the casket was brought was filled with flowers, which almost hid the coffin from sight. The coffin was wrapped in large flag and in triple folds of fine crape. Upon it were 8 few white flowers and some large green leaves: It was borne from the train by ten United States artillery men, who wore white helmets and who, with drawn swords, took up their positions beside the hearse. As soon as the casket had been placed in the hearse the beautiful black horses drew it slowly down the avenue to- ward the file of soldiers and Knights Templar who were drawn up on the west side and faced east with heads reverentially bowed 1Iyt ifo 1 the avenue in the following order:

 nanked by the horsemen of the

 and Navy and distinguished guests.
 Slowly and silently, save for the solemn tolling of the tells, the procession moved along, until the park was reached and the re- mains deposited by reverent hands upon the catafalque. Shortly after Governor Foster at the request of Mrs. Garfield, announced that the coffin should not be opened.
 The Presidents coffin lies with the head to- ward the east. The words

Above the casket nothing in tervenes except heavy velvet and crape cloth, which is attached to the pillars.
 THE AFFLICTED FAMILY.
 All the members and immediate relatives and friends of the Garfield family are quar- tered at private residences. Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Rockwell and the daughters of each are at Judge Mason's. The late Presidents mother and the younger sons of the deceased and Mrs. Garfeld's aged father are stopping with Mrs. Sheldon. The Presidents mother, although much depressed, is said to be bear ing the affiiction cast upon her very we'll Tonight she has look of resolute deter imitation, and it is not thought she will break down. although the strain upon her is necessarily great. This afternoon, after the streets became quiet Mrs. Garfield and her son James, who arrived from Williamstown yesterday, called on the Presidents mother, and afterward Harry and Miss Mollie called. / Mrs. Garfield bore the journey extremely well and still maintains the remarkable forti- tude she has exhibited since her husband was wounded. Miss Mollie and Master Harry also bear up under the sorrow extremely well, and, while their countenances denote the severe shock that their fathers death was to them, they do not manifest their feeling pub hcly. It is thought that James has recovered from the attack of malaria from which he has been suffering, but he looks badly and certainly is not strong. The two sons are with their grandmother at Mrs. Sheldon's Colonels Rockwell and Swain, Private Secre- tary Brown and Colonel Corbin are stopping with MT. Daniel F. Eels, president of the Commercial National bank of this city. Exc cutive Clerk Warren s. Young is with MT. H. B. Childs, of Prospect street. It is the in tention of Mrs. Garfield to have the most prominent of the floral offerings sent to Men, tor for preservation. It is quite. probable that Mrs. Garfield will go direct from the cemetery to the cars and proceed to her home in Mentor on Monday afternoon.
 CLEvELAND's HoNoRs TO THE DEAD.
 Cleveland has done nobly in honor of the dead President. All the arrangements have been made and thus far carried out to the en- tire satisfaction of all Even the weather bids fair to be good. The showers of this afternoon served to lay the dust and add to the chances of there being no storms to-mor- row. The public attention has been pretty well absorbed at the catafalque and Lake View cemetery, but the private residences and hotels where notable people are stopping have not been overlooked by the crowds of citizens any strangers who throng the city. Thousands of people walked by the resi- dence of Mr. Mason, where Mrs. Garfield and children are, but not glimpse was had of her until she drove out to the cemetery. The rest of the day she passed in seclusion. Mother Garfield rested quietly all day at Mrs. Shelden's, receiving only a few mem bers of the family. She is much more com fortable than yesterday, but there is no doubt buf fhaf she will bear tO-poorrow,s or- deal nobly. Among those who called was her grandson James, who left sick bed at Williams College to attend the funeral This malarial sickness has made great change in his appearance. The healthy looking boy is very much attenuated and his usually
