The Remains of the Dead General En-
Route to Their Final Resting Place.
New BEDFORD, Aug. 8.-This afternoon
the press representatives were allowed to
look upon the dead hero as he lay in his
casket at the cottage at Nonquitt. 1t had
previously been decided by Mrs. Sheridan
that nobody should see the body aside
from herself and household, but it was
thought that if such secrecy were main
tained the public would gain the impress
sion that there was something about the
general which should not be seen, which
caused her to change her decision and so
the press representatives were admitted.
The casket rested in the middle of the room
upon pedestals placed upon mat Of black
and white and to the left door leading to
the hall and dining room was the bedStead
upon which the general died. The re-
mains bore a noble and lifelike express
sion and the emaciation which one wonld
have been led to expect after a months
sickness was not seen upon his rounded
features. His stiff gray hair was brushed
carefully away as he always wore it. and a
peaceful, quiet, c0ntented look was spread
over his face. The hours hung heavily
until the Monchansett bearing the guards
of honor from the New Bedford Grand
Army posts and Loyal LegiOns appeared
around Clark's Point and stood in for
Nonquitt wharf. 1t was 4:SO p. m. when
the boat was made fast. Soon after the
generals remains were brought on board
and the relatives and friends with their
beloved dead began their sOrrOwful jour
ney. The run to New Bedford was un-
eventful.

yesterday General Sheridan had been in

general was doing so we'll that there would
probably be no bulletin issued for week.
After dinner at the hotel Mrs. Sheridan
carried down to the general a large slice of
roast beef which he ate with apparent rel
ish. He dozed off a little during the after
noon, but awoke to eat supper and then
went to sleep again. Unfavorable symp-
toms made their appearance so unexpect-

ment that the children were aroused barely
in time to take last look at their dying
father. With the general at the death bed
