 RICHMOND, Ind, Feb, 25.-The presiden- tial train pulled out of the Union station at 3:19 amidst the huzzas of the thousands gathere there and of those who lined the tracks as far as the city limits. As it passed the spacious grounds of the Deaf and Dumb institute just east of the city the fences and freight cars on the track were covered by the hundreds of pupils in attendance. They were not altogether dumb, as the noise they were able to make fully proved. As the rear of the train passed General Harrison waived his hand at the children. Irvington, the seat of Butler university, turned out sev- eral hundred spectators, as did also the small towns of umberland, Philadelphia, Green field and Charlottesville. When Knights town was reached, where is located the Sol diers' Orphapss Home, the train stopped for moment. A crowd of five or six hundred gathered about the rear platform and gave three cheers tor Harrison. As the cheers died away General Harrison said:
 My friends-I thank you for this cordial gathering and demonstration. I can detain the train but moment and only stopped at the request of the superintendent of the soldiers orphans home so that the children might have an opportunity to see me and
 that might wish them the bright and pros porous future which the sacrifices of their fathers won for them. I bid you farewell. A brief halt was made at Dunreith, the crossing of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati and Louisville railroad.
 CambridgeCity was reached at 4:45 o'clock. Here a crowd of about five hundred had gathered and cheered Justify as the train ato for rsomaOf only The bOOnn of cannon echoed through the train and was heard for some distance after the town had been left behind.
 URBANA, Ohio, Fsb. 25-Riohmond was reached at 5:02. The run from Indianapolis, 6S miles, was made in one hour 42 minutes, including the numerous stops and in spite of hot-box on the car Haywood. Fully 4,O00 people were assembled at the station and the crowd was very demonstrative, cheering to the top of their voices while the cannon boomed and the whistles blew, mak- ing din that was deafening. General and Mrs. Harrison appeared on tho rear platform of their car and were greeted by mighty shout from the crowd which was a very noisy one. Finally when the tumult had partially subsided General Harri- % son which sds b thanked the psoOs sao5 for hss dial greeting. During the halt profusion of flowers sent by Republican friends were brought in and presented to Mrs. Harrison. As the train passed along the track out of the city it was accompanied by the screeching of whistles of factories and the boom of cannon. The first stop in Ohio was at Greenville, Barke county, which was reached at 7:02 p. m. Here another large crowd greeted the President elect.
 Bradford Junction was reached at p. m. Here the train changed engines in just one and half minutes and sped on Its way at fifty miles an hour.
 The next stopping place, Piqua, was reached at 6:20. About five thousand people had gathered here and kept up continual cheer ing. Gov. J. B. Foraker and wife boarded the presidential train here and found the general and his party just sitting down to supper. Governor Foraker rushed back to the generals car and brought the latter to the platform of the Haywood just as the train pulled out. The governor called out, ''This is our next Preeiden t." and General Harrison, bareheaded, bowed his acknowl- edgements to the cheering throDg as the train moved out. It was 6:50 when Urbana was reached. Here 8 crowd welcomed the Presi- dent and party, but the stop was short. Be- tween Piqua and Urbsna, twenty-six miles, there were no stops, but at all the stations the passage of the train was greeted by the exclamation of hundreds.
 Columbus was reached at S:15. Governor Foraker and his wife left the train here. The demonstrations here assumed unusual AAAASA with the general crowd and various organizations. The booming of cannon and the din of brass bands, drum corps and yells, greeted the president elects train as it moved into the depot. A large force of policemen were required to open the way for the engine. The scramble then began. The crowd pushed, jammed and swayed in 8 solid mass. The train pulled pretty we'll through the depot before stop- ping and the people were trying to keep up and rushed madly over each oth- CT. large number of ladies in the throng were injured as the apparently mad- dened sight-seers showed no respect for any, one about them. There was no definite pros gramme carried out, although it had been the l intention to have songs from the glee club and speech from General Harrison. The former were almost entirely eliminated from l the programme, and less than fifty persons ! heard anything of what the President elect had to say. There was a sore lack ot ! management in the whole affair. AS soon ! as the general left the platform, the crowd began to grow less dense, though the train was surrounded by people until it pulled | out.
