PHILADELPHIA, August S.-There
was a general suspension Of business
in this city to-day. As the last stroke
Of 10 sounded from the dome Of hide
pendence Hall the tolling Of funeral
strokes began and continued IN mono
tones at brief intervals until the hour
Of noon. The bells on all the public
buildings and in the belfries Of churches
Joined in a mournful dirge, and for two
hours there was scarcely quarter of
the city that was not thus reminded OF
the ceremony in progress in the great
metropolitan centre. over the whole
city rests a calm which is heightened
in effect by the solemn black drapery
which hangs in profusion from places
Of business and private dwellings alike.

General Observance OF tie Day.

WASHINGTON, August s.-from
everywhere in the North and from very
many places in all the States South the
dispatches tonight are burdened with
accounts Of the observance IN honor OF
General Grant. Business has been
neglected. Even where a preience has
been made Of keeping business-houses
open, and even manufacturing estAo-
lishments where hundreds of people
were employed, quiet was the rule.
Wherever q Grand Army post exists,
as is the case in nearly every village of
a few hundred inhabitants in the North,
solemn services we're conducted by these
posts. Services in churches were nearly
as universal. Accounts Of the cere-
monies vary but slightly. All tell OF
flags at hal-mast, Grape, drapery, toll
inc OF bells. guns firing, eulOgies, and
religious services.

advanced.
AT THE DOOR OF THE sEPULCHRE.
The car stopped abreast Of the tomb,
and the guard Of honor assembled to
bear down the casket. Colonel Beck
formed his two companies Of escort in
hollow square between the tomb and
hearse. The family carriages had
drawn near. The family alighted and
stood while the casket was being re-
moved from the car. and when it was
borne into the hollow square toward
the vault the relatives followed. The
cedar case rested on supports at the
door Of the sepulchre, and the casket
was deposited therein.
Meade Post, No. ], Of Philadelphia,
represented by fifteen men, circled the
cssket. The commander took position
at the head Of the casket, with the
officers and post commanders in the
rear. The chaplain stayed at the foot
and the colors were placed on it. The
ritual service were then conducted by
Post Commander Alexander Reed.
DR.. Newman and Bishop Harris then
read the ritual service for burial Of the
NJ. +. Church. During these ceremO-
MES the family stood at the foot
Of the casket, Mrs. Grant was
not there. Directly behind the
funeral party stood General Hancock.
At his elbow was President Cleveland,
Vice President Hendricks, and mem
bers Of the Cabinet near the head Of
the casket, on the right, Generals Sher-
man and Sheridan, in full uniform,
standing uncovered during the entire
service. At their sides were ex-Presi-
dents Arthur and Hayes and Senator
Sherman. On the other side of the cas-
ket, opposite, were Admiral Porter,
General Fitzhugh Lee. General Gordon,
and General Buckner. When the reli
gious services had ended the trumpeter

THE LONG CHAPTER ENDED.
The guard Of honor bore the remains
within the tomb at SOB O'Clock. placed
them within the steel case, both the
leaden lining and steel case being sealed.
The family entered the tomb, remaining
only few moments. The family then
repaired to their carriages, and the
Seventh and Twenty regiments,
in line on the bluff. fired three yolleys
toward the river; after which Battery
F, Fifth artillery, fired three salutes
from the knoll toward the hotel. The
family carriages drove away, but were
not ont OF sight when persons at
tempted to defsce the tomb by writing
their names upon it. a guard Of
regulars was mounted at once, the
military marched away, dignitaries
drove away, the crowd dispersed, and
the long chapter was ended.

Of the ruins Of Harrigan 4 Harris Thea

stand at least 100 feet in length. They
sold the seats for as much money as
they could get. Prices ranged from 81

were many smaller ones. The windows
OF many Of the great warehouses along
Broadway had been cleared Of the fancy
goods which they contain 365 days in
the year, and the empty space filed
with chairs for the accommodation OF
friends Of the several firms. Nearly
every empty stand along the route had
been gobbled up by spectators. Some
of these were rented outright, while
others contained numbered seats, TO

HUN OF EXPECTATION sTILLED.
The catafalque passed Twenty-third

expectation that had preceded it was
stilled as it passed by, and all heads
were uncovered. Many heads were
bowed.
On single telegraph-pOle on the cor
ner Of Broadway and Twenty-third
street were psrched not less than TWEEN
ty-eight spectators. One Of the highest,
upon the last c1oss-aTm, barred his head
with the rest. The pole looked ike a
tree that had suddenly blOss0med out
with a crop Of human beings that hung
from It's branches in great profuslon.
As soon s. the catalalque had passed
the carriage containing Colonel Fred.
Grant, his wife. and sister fell in. and
there was a tremendous scramblIng for
the carriages Of the mOurners. whom
long wait had persuaded to leave their
seats to catch glimpse Of the process

tain Williams's men had cleared and
kept open a space for the aides with no
little difficulty. The coaches fell quickly
