was II U CLOCK Wnen tine caSket was re-
placed and u stream of visitors again
passed by and out through the side door.
Shortly after this the pail bearers arrived,
the draped hearse and carriages for the
family and friends were marshaled before
the door, and preparations were made for
the final removal of the body. This was
done without further leave taking. Po-
lice and military kept the curious but
always respectful mass of people out of
the way, and the little cavalcade moved
quietly with its military escort through
the densely lined streets to the cathedral
OF st. Paul. The casket was borne into
the church at l2:l4 O'Clock, the vast con-
gregation having already been seated with
the exception of the immediate relatives.
Bishop Knickerbocker voiced the open
ing sentence of the burial service, Il am
the resurrection and the life, followed by
Rev. Drs. Stringfellow and Fulton in
their recitation Of other verses used for
the dead, until the casket had been car
ried and placed outside the chancel. The
great audience stood while the impressive
scene was enacted. Following the bier
came the widow, leaning on the arm of
her brother, followed by other relatives,
all in deep mourning.
When the casket had been placed in
front Of the chancel rail, the choir sang
the anthem, Lord, let me know my
end The lesson for the dead was then
read by Rev. DR.. Jenckes. This was fol-
lowed by the singing OF the hymn, Lead,
heavenly light" by the choir, the audi
ence joining. Rev. DR.. Jenckes, speak
ing from the %lectern, delivered a eulogy
on the late vice president, tracing his
career from boyhood. When the speaker
had concluded, Mrs. Doney. of Chicago,
sang Rock of Ages" the bishop closing
with prayers and the benediction. The
casket was hen lifted and borne from the
church, the audience remaining in their
seats.
The bells of all the city churches began
their tolliDg when the remains were taken
from the house, and continued their peal
ing during the continuation of the church
rites, and while the possession was on its
long march to Crown Hill cemetery.
There was very little delay in the move
ment of the great column, when once the
distinguished people who had composed
the church audience had been assigned to
their carriages. The procession proceed
ed slowly through the great masses of
people on Washington street, the military
organizations attempting to march with
company front, but were repeatedly COM
PEELED to break into columns of tours and
move by the flank, and the carriages were
driven three abreast. The movement was
slow, the bands playing dirges. When
the column anne within sight of the eem-
etery a mile distant from Indianapolis, the
light artillery began to fire minute guns,
which was continued until the hearse APP.

embedded in flowers by friends of the
sorrowing widow.
The grave was opened to receive all

Looking into the p grave, to the view
there was only a bed Of eyergreens, smilax
and cut flowers, the stone inclosure having
been lined with these beautiful emblems.
When the hearse had halted near the lot,
the casket was borne to the grave. The
venerable Bishop Knickerbocker preceded
it and read verses Tor the dead. and after
the lowering Of the casket Rev. DR..
Jenckes read the committal services, the
bishop closing with prayer and benedic-
ton. Only the widow and her supporters
approached the grave, the remaining null
titude standing some distance off, silent
spectators.
When the coffin had been lowered into
the vault by four colored assistants of the
undertaken and there was nothing remain
ing to be done, there was a moment
pause and silence, broken only by the
minute gun, then Mr. Hendricks and
friends of the family passed by the still
open but not repellant grave and took
their carriages. The people who had
waited so respectfully then hocked to the
grave to get a nearer view. The military
order, Forward march,, started the sol
diers homeward, the carriages rolled rap
idly way and the distinguished dead was
left alone in the beautiful city of the
dead.
