INDIANAPOLIS, IND, December 1.-The
mortal remains of Thomas A Hendricks,
the fifth Vice President Of the United
States to die during hts term Of office, were
conveyed to the tomb to-day The event
was made memorable in many respects by
the presence Of tremendous concourse of
people from all parts of the Nation to Wit
ness the simple rites which preceded the in
terment, The presage Of inclement weather
on the day of the funeral, which was given
yesterday, was verified only to the extent
of a wintry, leaden sky, and a thick atmos-
phnre during the early hours unusual to
this latitude The heavy tog Of the pre-
ceding afternoon still hung over the city
when the day broke, but as the hours wore
on lifted somewhat and became less i'm
penetrable
The somberness of the heavens was re-
flected even more deeply in the appearance
Of the city which witnessed the develop
ment OF his career Its chief structures
were hidden in their folds Of black drapery,
while to the occasion were lent all the
forms which a people can observe to show
their respect for the dead The business
life of the city was entirely suspended.
The clergy, without respect to sect, joined
in the obseques the bells of all the churches
toled a requiem, and the presence of the
pOpulace III tire column which followed his
funeral car, or attested their fealty to his
memory,
The early morning trains on all the rail
ways brought delegations from the Ma
tional Capital aud all the leading cities Of
the Union, together with an influx of peo-
pie from all the interior cities aud hamiets
of Central Indiana and Illinois.
