ALBANY n. Y, Aug. 5.-The files of peo-
pie which began passing the remains Of
Gen. Grant in the Senate corridor at the
Capitol when the doors were first thrown
open yesterday had not diminished at mid
night. The solid tide Of visitors entering
streamed out through the State street por-
tails until l O'Clock this morning. Showers
fell, but the throng has been maintained
without diminishing. After l O'Clock the
crowd lessened, and at 4 O'Clock the stream
had sunk to a succession Of s~tragglers. So
few were there that more time was per-
mitted visitors to view the remains. There
was a comparative respite until S O'Clock,
when the stragglers we're reinforced, and
when il was 6 o'clock 81 200 persons had
viewed the remains, and the solid tide was
again flowing and two streams of visitors
were surging past the casket line outside
of the Capital building. 1t increased with
the hours until at 10 o'clock the people,
four abreast, reached down Washington
Avenue a full block, to where coming
throngs were formed in line by o strong
force of police. At 10 O'Clock it was esti-
mated that the remains were being
viewed by 100 persons per minute,
and that up to that hour 60, 900 persons
had seen the face of the dead General
at the Executive Mansion. Trains cas-
and west added to the number of strangers
in the city. A committee of 100 prominent
citizens OF New York City, appointed by
Mayor Grace to represent that city at AL
bany and to accompany the remains from
this city to New York, have arrived.
Across the lapel Of the black coat of each
member Of the company is q white satin
badge, at the top Of which are the words
"City Of New York" Beneath are the
arms of the city. and at the bottom, "Gen-
eral Grant" The committee wear white
hats with black bands. The delegates will
assemble in the City Hall this morning
and be assigned a place in the procession.
While the remains have laid in state in
Albany the funeral train has been safely
| guarded in the West Albany shop, and will
be until called out to convey the remains
to the metropolis. The steel casket built
at Troy was completed last evening.
Thousands of people have visited the works
during the past few days. Night and day

work successfully, The casket was shipped
this morning from West Troy.
1890 P. M.-The Grant funeral train is
just leaving here. The undertakers have
now taken charge, and 80 far as possible
prepared the remains for the last stage OF
the journey. Guns doomed while the re-
mains were being placed in the car
"Woodlawn," and bells tolled slowly.
The committee from New York entered
their cars and the train started. The re-
mains were viewed in Albany by T,20O
persons. At the instant the train started
a dirge came up to the ears of all in the
train from the band of the Jackson corps
that stood in line. Hundreds OF per
sons standing nearest the track laid coins
| on the rails to have them fattened beneath
| the wheels of the train that carried General
Grant on his last journey. On the roofs
Of houses in the vicinity hundreds wit
messed the start, and as the black train
rumbled across the long bridge Of the
Hudson it was between two dense lines Of
people who filled out the paths on either
| side. There was no clang Of bell, NO
scream Of whistle; only a dull humble Of
wheels beneath the memorable train.
