shadow of old Storm King, at Cornwall, a
steamboat from New York. loaded with people,
was seen following the train.
Cod Spring had been passed at 3:2l o'clock,
and West Point was only six minutes away.
Colonel Grant, General Porter and others took
seats on the river side The river was being
ru1led as the train bore down among the High
lands, and soon deep reverberations of thunder
echoed among the mountains The storm had
centered directly above the military post. Sud
dnuly the report of a cannon shook the heavy
atmosphere. The speed was slackened as
the station was neared Again the
heavy sound from gun. The
trains speed lessened gradually as it emerged
from the cut and hundreds of people were seen
lining the way on either side But there was no
clang of the bell, nor any shrek of whistle. and
again the report Of gun shook the still air that
before the coming storm was almost painfully
hushed. Then, at 3:27, the train rolled slowly
past the little station at Garrisons. and there was
shown the tribute from his old student home to
the soldier.
Along the side of the railway before the sta
in line at present arms" All the officers of the
Post were near with uncovered heads,
and the band from the Post, with
mufied drums, was playing Sweet
Spirit Hear My Prayer" The strains
were not loud, but subGued and they blended
with the muttering thunder over the river on the
mountains, where the storm had swept down to
the flagstaff tip that shot up from the trees. And
all the WHILE at intervals of five seconds, came
the sound of gun.
The little station passed out of sight, and the
strains from the band died away. The funeral
train had again quickened speed. but it was
overtaken by the storm, which prevailed with
much force for ten minutes Then the clouds
broke the rain ceased, and the sunlight was
again on the mountains. Peekskin went
by at 3:43, Sing Sing at 4;Ol, Tarrytown

and at 4:37 the black train swept around the
curve, and left the Hudson behind. Rain was

though splendid vantage ground for observa-
tion there were few people. When the train
passed the Atalanta Boat Clubs house,
on the river, the flag was dipped
and lowered in salute The junction was round
ed at 4:48, and the funeral train had made its
last curve. Down through Harlem and the
tunnel the heavy train rumbled toward the city.
Emerging from the tunnel the engine made
flying SWITCH and the train rolled on to it's
stopping point. Slowly it stopped, but at length,
as the Grand Central clock marked 5, it was still
and on time. General Grants last journey was
ended, and from the start there had been no
clang Of bell nor sound of whistle.

TIE ARRIVAL AT NEW YORK.
The Scene at Grand Central Depot-Forming
the Procession.

New YORK, Aug. 5.-Hurrying crowds sought
shelter from the driving rain under the caves of
the Grand Central depot at 4:4O deploring the
mischance that would turn the parade into "a
weary tramp through drenching rain. Their
fears were groundess. Brighter skies showed in
the west when the funeral train rolled into the
depot. The escort was ready and at the door
promptly at the stroke of 5. The dark clouds
had rolled over and the sun broke forth, illumi-
mating the glass covered arch as the train moved
in. Its rays fell upon the silver mounting
of the coffin, and the single wreath
of oak leaves placed over the heart
of the dear father by the childrens
hands, resting upon the lid. It fell upon the
wrinkled faces of the veterans who carried it,
tenderly as a loved child, from the car to light
push brought down from the 'Woodlawn'
for the purpose, and drew it up the inclined
platform and across to the west side of the
depot, and to the vehicle that was to be the last
on which the body would ever rest With them
walked six of the Loyal Legion. and two Grand
Army men. The martial tread of armed men
echoed behind. Company A, of the Fifth Artil-
lery and Company f. Of the Twelfth Infantry,
the regulars whom the government had sent as
guard of honor, marched in the escort.
train from the opposite side, and passed through
the gate into Forty third street, where horses
wera waiting ahead of the coffin, then galloped
to the head of the procession on Fifth avenue,
The three sons of General Grant also left the
depot quietly. The citizens committee of 100,
led by ex Mayor Cooper and ex Governor Cor
nell, ex-Mayor Franklin Edison and jackson S.
Schultz, walking, next followed the regulars.
Behind them Governor Hill and General
Farnsworth, his glittering staff, and, in their
turn, committees Of the House and Senate at
Albany.
In Forty-thrd street the catafalque waited.
Eight steps led up to the raised platform upon
which the veterans set down the coffin with it's
wreath of oak. Their duty done, the veterans
stepped down and took their stand beside the
eatafalque. The clash of troops presenting arms
and the mournful strains of a dirge played by
the government band had greeted the
appearance of the casket in the door
way. Files Of soldiers of the Seventy
first Regiment were drawn across the street,
and on the opposite curb from the portal to the
catafalque AS the casket was borne between
them, the teeming crowds behind the militia
uncovered, and the mellow sunlight fell upon
thousands Of bowed heads. Involuntarily some
of the policemen lifted their hats. Then the
heavy tread of the regulars broke the stiffness
as they marched up to take their places beside
the catafalque Twelve colored men seized the
reins Of the twelve horses that were shrouded in
black, and standing beside them awaited the
signal.

hour the procession started. The head of the
cortege was far down Fifth avenue when the

streets Every stoop and railing that

Everywhere, as the coffin passed. heads were
bowed; the huge crowd was silent and absolutely
voiceless. From far ahead was heard the quar-
reling of the police and the crowd, but where the
procession passed all was STILL save for the
steady tramp of the marchers, the rumble of the
heavy guns, the roll of muf1ed drums, and tho
mournful drges of the bands. Many houses
on Fifth avenue, noticeably Mrs

mourning As the procession entered Broadway

THE FUNERAL CAR.

Description of 1t.
New York Herald.
Mr.. Theodore Gunsel, the decorator, yesterday
superintended the work of adorning the sombre
chariot which was carried ON by a large force
of artists in the building attached to Smiths
lumber establishment on Eleventh avenue

this car, there was about the car which carried
Lincoln's body" said Mr.. Gunsel. at will be
composed entirely Of black broadcloth. The car

canopy itself will just go under the Sixth avenue

but the top plume is two feet and eight inches
higher. Now, the question is how to get that
under. / have two plans One is to put q spring
on the plume, so that it will bend downward
and go back to its place, but the difficulty is that
the plume is an enormous one and the spring
would have to be so strong that if the feathers
caught in the canopy it would be badly torn
The other plan is to have man on the elevated
tracks lift out the plume on one side of Sixth
avenue and put it back on the other side. This
l regard as the best plan"
What are the decorations of the carr"
"Well, the BODY framework and wheels are
concealed by the heavy drapery of plain black
which falls with silk fringe almost to the
ground. On each side of this drapcry will! be a
Maltese cross and on the rear a sunburst, all
done in black. From the floor Of the car heavy
tassels fall over the sides Three black steps Of
eight inches each lead up to the smooth platform,
where four iron elbows covered by broadcloth
will hold the casket in its place. The canopy is
pyramdal in shape and is supported by four
black pillars round IN the middle and squared at
the ends At each corner there will jut out
three silk flags, with metal spear points. The
flags will be draped and black ribbons will be
looped up from the points Of the stats. A per-
feet mass of draper;es, tasses and fringes will
be arranged about the canopy, but it will be all
ir dead black. At each of the four corners of
the canopy will be a great black plume with long
ostrich feathers trailing from it, and on the top
will be tine big plume ] have spoken Of No
flowers WILL be used at all in the way of decora-
ton, although some floral pieces may be laid
upon the car at the funeral The car will be
drawn by twentyfour black horses covered with
black netting"

They May Not BE in Fit Condition To Be
Shown in New York.
ALBANY, Aug. 5.-The undertakers and en-
balmers who have immediate charge of the body
of the dead General are alert and not little
anxious to-day. The jolting Of the body over
the cobblestone ravements, on its passage to the
Capitol, had no good effect The lower jaw of
the Generals face is being kept in place, it is be-
lieved, by strong rubber bands. The face, as
described last night, has the same ghastly ap:
pearance. Every effort and means known to
their craft is being employed by the embalmers
and undertakers to preserve the remains in such
as will make it both possible and
proper to display them in New York. Those
who are in charge say that there is no doubt but
this will be done. But there is some ground for
apprehension. The remains will doubtless be
displayed to night in the City Hall, New York,
but obviously this is contingent upon the care
exercised in transporting the remains over the
pavements Of New York

An Opinion of Interest to Distillers,

WASHINGTON, Aug. Sin reply to a request
from the Secretary of the Treasury for an
opinion on certain points in relation to spirits
bonded for export, Attorney general Garland
says: "In the event holders or owners of such
spirits shall have failed within the seven
months specified in the bond 10 withdraw them
in fact from dstllery warehouse, forfeiture of
bond follows, and the spirits are not protected
thereafter from the obligation for domestic tax.
The effect of the bond, while in force and before
forfeiture is to free spirits from such obligation
but this effect ceases upon forfeiture of the bond
Any other construction would be an evasion of
the statute Upon the application of the
principal and sureties on such bond, and
for good cause shown the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue may,
under existing regulations, extend the time
samed in the bond beyond seven months.
"Second-I am Of the opinion that spirits COW
cred by expectation bond after failure to with
draw them, and after forfeiture of bond, are
liable to distrant under the provision Of Section
4, of the act of May %, 1880.
Third answer that the condition of the
bond having been broken by failure to withdraw
spirits from warehouse, the right of the govern
nIent to proceed upon the bond is unQuestioned.
At the same time, of course the tax can be col
lected by distraint. and as the latter mode is

with the remains inside the corridor
At this moment the guard Of honor moved out

the upper steps of the Capitol The sombre car
was waiting at the foot of the steps in the street
Four men were inside the car, and assisted in
