Removed From Nonou,tt.

NoNQUIITi u Arrangements for
the removal of Gen. Sheridan's remains
to Washington were completed. The
body was clothed in his military suit and
placed in the casket on which are laid the
dead generals chapeau, sash and sword.
At ll:30 the undertakes had finished
their work with the exception of draping
the national colors over the casket
There are no flowers on the casket and
no floral display viii be made, although
several tributes have been received. From
this time no one will be allowed to see the
remains except Mrs. Sheridan, members
OF the family and the generals staff, and
1t Is not now expected that at Washing
ton any except perhaps a limited number
will be allowed to view the body, it being
the special desire of the family to avoid
all display and conduct everything quietly.
The numerous army corps badges which
it was customary for Sheridan when alive
to wear were not seen on the dead, and
nothing relieved the breast of the coat
a v the bright buttons and on the shout
ders the gold epulettes.
The hours hung heavily until the Mon
ohanset bearing the guards OF honor from
the New Bedford Grand Army posts and
the Loyal Legion appeared around Clark's
Point and stood in for Nonquitt wharf.
1t was 400 p. IN. when the boat was
made fast.
When the Grand Army men reached
the house they were met by Col. Kellogg
and the undertakers, and Col. Rand went
inside to see that everything was in readi-
ness. The Grand Army men then brought
from the wharf the bier on which the
casket was borne. A little wait then oc-
Cured.
A sad sight was the little faces of the
Sheridan children as they peered out of
one OF the upper windows and watched
the Grand Army men come and go.
Presently the bier was placed in position
and the coffin was laid upon it and elifted
upon the shoulders of soldiers and the
solemn procession passed down over the
lawn to the boat.
The coffin was followed by Col. NJ. v.
Sheridan, supporting Mrs. Gen. Sheri-
dan upon his arm and little Phil walked
by his mothers side. Next followed
Mrs. Col. Sheridan with little Mary.
Sister Urbane followed next, leading
Irene, one of the girls, while Sister Jus.
TINA followed, leading little Louise, the
other WIN. Then came the women ser
wants and Colonels Kellogg and Blount
and DIR. Matthews and Clerk Roorbeck in
turn.
Down the long wharf through two
lines Of members of the Loyal Legion in
open order passed the procession. The
body was next taken aboard, followed by
the members of the Loyal Legion. Grand
Army men bearing the casket. The
national colors were draped about the
coffin, and the sword, belts and chapeau
were on top. The bier was placed upon
the floor OF the after cabin, where a
Grand Army man held a draped banner
Of the Loyal Legion.
If the procession had been sad, the
parting was sadder. Col. and Mrs. KEEL
logg with the children and servants were
in a group ON the wharf together. Hardly
an eye which saw the spectacle was dry.
Little Pills lips quivered and he broke
out crying, but the rest bore up nobly.
The wheels of the Monohansett then
turned and the remains of the great hero
left Nonquitt forever.
Mrs. Col. Sheridan remains at Non
quit with the Sheridan children and
Col. and Mrs. Kellogg, who we're intend.
ing to go to Washington were detained
by the sickness of little Julia Kellogg.

slowly the coffin was borne to and placed

party stepped into the private car of Vice

mains to Washington took their places in
two Pullman cars, and in a few minutes
the train drew out of the depot.
