The crowd was so dense and blocked the stairway

in the hall from ii q. until the time for tbs con-
veption: They intended 70 co SO, but Col. johnson
notified them that they must leave or he would not

tired 20 the sidewalk and tbs hall entirely empty
at p. Ii. The doors were taen opened and the
tickets, and the Kipdred men oonsluded to join In
the procession, and you can be surs they went in
also.
