The Procession Moves.


Then the casket was borne from the
church, the audience remaining seated.
The bells of the churches began tolling
when the remains were taken from the house
and continued their pealing during the con-
tinuation of the church rites and while the
procession was on its long march to Crown
Hill cemetery. There was very little delay
in the movement of the great column
when once the distinguished people who
had composed the church audience had been
assigned their carriages. Its formation had
been completed during the progress of the
services in the cathedral. The column was
preceded by "a mounted police escort. which
was followed by the Columbus barracks
band and the Richardson Zouaves, who i'm
mediately preceded the hearse. The latter
was drawn by six black horses, wearing the
black paraphernalia worn by the animals
attached to the funeral car which bore the
remains of Gen. Grant to the grave. On
either side of the hearse was guard from
the Indianapolis light infantry, carrying
their guns at the position of reverse arms. 81
The funeral car occupied a central position
in the second of the four grand divisions.
The first grand division was in line ready
for the forward movement when the casket
was carried from the church. 1t was COM
posed of state military companies marching

ALL OFFICERS DISCOUNTED.
The Bush zouaves of St. Louis was the
only company appearing in the line from
outside the state. In the second grand
division following the hearSe came a car
rage containing Mrs. Thomas A. Hen
bricks, Mrs. S. W. Morgan, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fitzhugh Thornton. The succeeding
twelve carriages contained relatives and
near friends. EX-President Hayes occupied

ular order by the members of the cabinet,
United States senators and representatives
governors and staffs, United States judi
ciary. ex-United States senators and repre-
sentatives, United States military officers,
state officers of Indiana, followed by the
presidents and faculties of universities and
colleges, the mayors of cities and other civil
officials. The third division was composed
OF all nOn-military organizations. 1t was
preceded by the local IriSh-American organ
izations, followed by marching politi-
cal clubs which had taken part in the re-
cent presidential campaign. Among the
latter organizations represented in the line
were the New York County Democratic
club, the Iroquois club of Chicago, the

LINE OF MARCH
at 12:4S p. M. but its progress was retarded
in the business district, owing to the block
aiding crowds, which far Outnumbered the
moving column. 1t proceeded slowly
through the great mass of people on Wash
ington street. The military organizations
attempted to march with company front,
of four and move by the flank. The car
riages were driven three abreast. The
movement was slow, the bands playing
dirges, making the progress at times almost
imperceptible. The column merged upon
Meridian street, broad and very handsome
avenue leading to the entrance of the beau
tiful Crown Hill cemetery. The cortege
moved on by the handsome homes of the
wealthy, whose windows and sidewalks
were filled with great throngs stand
ing respectfully. The broad thorough
fare stretched far out into the country be-
yond the limits of the city, and when the
. head of the column came within sight of the
cemetery, mile distant, the Indianapolis
light artillery began firing minute guns,
which was continued until the hearSe ap-
preached the grave. Shortly before the
column entered upon the final stage of its
journey the sleet began to fall more sharply,
accompanied by cold wind. The carriages
containing the mourners and notable par
Elephants were all closed against the inclem-
ency of the weather.
Col. John NJ. Wilson, who had charge of
the United States senatorial party. brought
with him from Washington not only gift
of flowers from Miss Cleveland, but also an
autograph letter from the president to Mrs.
Hendricks. This letter, Mrs. Hendricks
says, was one purely of personal coincidence
and sympathy. and not one that she would
care to give out for publication. When
Mrs. Hendricks returned to her home from
Crown Hill, the old homestead residence,
which had been left in the charge of COM
mittee of ladies, was divested
of all the memorial floral
tributes and other sharp reminders of hel
great sorrow. Crate fires had been lighted
and everything had been done to restore
the rooms to their former home-like ap
pearance. She passed the evening in com.

and Mrs. Morgan, her brother and sister.
