CLEVELAND, Sept. -. The journey FROM
Washington to Cleveland was performed al
most without accident or incident. Drawing
out from the station of the Baltimore 4 Po-
Itomac railroad, in which Gen. Garfield re-
ceived his death wound, the train sped rap
.idly toward Baltimore, where it arrived on|
time. At all the small stations on the line
of the Baltimore & Potomac were gathered
Hundreds of the inhabitants of the counties
bordering on the road The stations were
draped in the deepest mourning. Those
standing in and around them were perfectly
silent. Not sound was heard by those on
the train as they shot by the little edifices.
AT Baltimore, the trains made their stop.
The funeral train arrived some Is minutes
before the congressional train. From quar-
ter to half an hours distance was maintained

around the Charles street station stood thou

the vast crowd, standing in the shadow of
the heavy mourning on the station, blacker
than the shadow of the coming darkness,
not sound escaped. In absolute silence

was very quiet. Conversation among the
cabinet, the friends and the guard of honor
was carried on in low tone. Mrs. Garfield
said little at any time during the journey.
She sat, save when arousd by some well
meaning friend, absorbed in her own sad
thoughts, with her face close to the window
glass. When she spoke it was of some pc
culiar touching demonstration Of respect and
affection for her dead husband. At York
there was very large crowd at the station.
1t was dark, but Mrs. Garfield pressed her
face against the window, and aftera long look
at the great throng, said to Mrs. MacVeagh
who sat beside her: "You don't know how

she repeated the expression of her satisfac-

greater than at York had assembled. Mrs.
Garfield retired about midnight, as did most
of the party.
