and buildings this evening, night coming on
rapidlv owing to an impenetrable wintry
skv which completely obscured the sun.
The armament is starleSs tonight and the
fear has been general that the morrow may
usher in a storm. There was a slight
sprinkling of rain this afternoon but it was
hardly perceptible and soon passed away,
but the heavy appearance of the sky late in
the afternoon indicated that the storm
might only be held in allegiance. During
the afternoon there were evidences at hand
in every direction of the preparation for the
ceremonies of tomorrow. The crowds be-
gan to grow dense in the business portion
of the city and the hotels took on crowded
appearance. On the residence streets the
finishing touches were given to mourning
decorations, the work of draping having
been practically concluded in the business
center. Washington street, the main buSi-
ness thoroughfare, presented sable ap-
pearance, no structure appearing without
its drapery of black, relieved occasionally
with an intermingling of white. The face
of the dead vice president met one every
where. This street led to the portals OF
the court house, where the remains OF
THE DEAD STATESMAN
lay exposed to view, and the surging and
ever-increasing throng was to be met at
every point along its entire length, but
grew more dense when approaching that
public editice Here the military and police
were called into requisition to keep the
mass moving and to prevent blockade.
When the great doors of the building were
ordered closed this afternoon the awaiting
crowd. numbering thousands stood in line
trying to take last glance at the face of
the dead, but were unable to do so. After
1:30 o'clock the pressure of the crowd to
view the remains became greater. The line
formed on the street extended two squares
back from the entrance, and the guards
were increased in order to prevent an
accumulation of crowd. The speed was
also accelerated until about ninety minute
passed the body. 1t was estimated that
forty thousand people viewed the body dur
ing the day. Shortly before the noon hour
Senator Voorhees, and party were admitted
to the south entrance, and the senator
paused for moment for close inspection
of his friend. He went with reluctance,
saying in few moments that he preferred
to remember Hendricks as he last knew him.
But after viewing his remains he expressed
surprise at their life-like appearance. Per
haps a little paler. but remarkably life
like" was his remark. A similar opinion
was expressed by other gentlemen who
were given more than passing glance. At
4:15 o'clock the
DOORS WERE CLOSED.
In quarter of an hour the marshal and
his assistant and representatives of the
committees marched to the court house.
The casket was borne through the south en-
trance to the street, where it was placed in
the hearse, and, escorted by the four Indian
apolis military companies. it was returned

of the Columbus Barracks military
band announced its movement, the
people t1ocked to see the sad spectacle.
Until it is removed to the church tomorrow
the body will lie at rest beneath the roof
where its last living hours were spent, and
will be surrounded by the tokens of affec-
ton and sympathy placed there by friends
to-day. The committees on reception and
arrangements concluded all the matters
of detail this afternoon. The arrival of
nearly all the distinguished visiting delega-
tions have been timed for the early hours of
the morning, and subcommittee were ap-
pointed to arrange for their reception. One
thousand tickets have been issued for ad-
mittance to ST. Paul's Episcopal church,
where the services will be conducted, and
the orders are such that no one will be adj

+ Hill cemetery, where the remains are
to be inferred, is full five miles,
and owing to the length of the
procession any delay in its movement might
neceSsitate the performance OF the conclud-
ing rites at the grave after the shadows of
the afternoon had begun to fall. and owing
to this fact the committee have sought to
insure prOmptneSS in all the movements.
At midnight the sky was overcast and
the probabilities of rain tomorrow Is
stronger. The hotels have received large
additions, especially from points in Indiana
and Illinois. Ex-PTesident Hayes has ar

was unanimously adopted. After sketch
ing hastily the leading events of the life of
the vice president, the paper continued:
From the farm house to the vice presi-
dency such was the commencement and end
of career. untouched by dfshonor, un-
clouded by suspicion. His public acts as a
