foggy, and the musty atmosphere dampsned
everyth with which 1t came in contact
The rain Of the early night had ceased long
before midnight s, thick was the mist at
sunrise that it was impossible to discern
either the cottage or its immediate sur
roundings from the veranda Of the hotel A
brisk wind from tho south soon sprang up,
however. and played havoc with the sullen,
ominous looking clouds that fingered
around the horizon and obscured the dawn
ing Of the day appointed for the removal
OF the remains OF the illustrious
cad. As the morning wore on the
breeze grew in strength and the clouds that
obscured the disk Of the rising sun were
soon pushed aside and the atmosphere was
cleared Of all distractions to the view.
THE HALF-HoUR GUN
doomed regularly from the appointed time
"A oclock-and the mournful echo, as II
reverberated among the hills, announced to
the people that the time was fast
approaching for the removal OF the
remains OF tho dead general forever from
the cottage in which he had spent the clos
ing days Of his life.
The family were astir early at the cottage
while the guests at the hotels made their
way in squads towards 1t. in hopes Of get
ting glimpse Of the closing scenes
THE FUNERAL CAR
was in early readiness, and the engine at
tached awaited at the station with steam up
ready to draw it with the precious burden II
was to carry down the little mountain road
to Saratoga
The family Monday night individually
and collectively took their last farewell Of
the dead and Tuesday the remains become
the nations charge.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Gen. Hancock
and staff and number Of more prominent
visitors arrived. Among them were Gen.
Sherman. Senators Evarts and Miller, Mr..
Joseph w. Drexel and his daughter, the lat
ter dressed in deep mourning.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES
at the cottage were begun at exactly 10
o'clock, at which hour fully 1900 people
were scattered around among the trees Of
the grove in front of the house and packed
closely in front of the piazza OF the cottage.
The services opened with the reading
of Psalm co. This was fol-
lowed by solemn and i'm
pressive prayer by Bishop Harris
and the singing Of the hymn my Faith
Looks Up to Thee" by the entire assemblage.
At the conclusion Of the singing Of the
hymn, DIR. Newman stepped solemnly to the
front OF the PIAZZA and began delivering his
sermon. The family during its delivery re-
mained sitting about the caskst which re
mained In the parlor.
The following is Q synopsis of the Rev.
DIR. Newman's tribute to the old commander.
Well done. thou good and faithful ser
want; enter thou into the JOY Of the LORD
