ST. LOUIS PAWS The LAST TRIBUTE.
An Imposing Funeral Procession-The
Ccramonies of a NIilitnrv ChMracter.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. y. The train bear
ing Gen Sherman's remains arrived here
about 9 O'Clock this morning. Grand
Army men guarded tho body till 10: 80
when Brig. Gen. Merritt and body of
t. S. troops received it and marched to
Calvary Cemetery where Fr. Sherman,
the generals son. OBLIGATED at the grave.
Gen. Sherman's desire that his obse-
quies should. be Of a military character was
uueyed to the most extreme particular, but
mt the same time, it was found impossible to
draw line that would prohibit the great
mass of the people of the city in which
he had spent so many years Of his life,
and who at one time regarded him as
its particular own, from paying a
last tribute of respect TO his memory. So,
something almost without precedent in Il
strictly military funeral. two civic divisions
We're added to the procession and formed
not the least impressive feature OF the event.
In the residence district, which was trav-
ersed by the procession, there was hardly a
building that not did exhibit some token of
sorrow and respect.
1t was within a few minutes OF S3j
O'Clock when the firing of a CUR by battery
\ of the St Louis artillery, which was sta
toned at the east of the depot, announced
that the funeral train was on the other side
Of the bridge When the train had come
to Il standstil it was boarded by a deputa-
ton of old comrades of Ransom post, G.. A
H., under the command of Commander Ii.
l.. Ripley, and which, after relieving the
guard, received the remains ana mounted
guard.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-Tho train
moved slowly ont of tho yard at Jersey
City and across the meadows to Newark.
No stop was made there, but as the train
passed the station crowd numbering
thousands could be seen. This was the case
at every little way station between Newark
and Trenton. Occasionally as a >',3all sta.
ton was passed. the members Of Il -neral
party would hear music. 1T was W. dark
to see the gatherings Mt the different places
Is the tram reached Trenton the sound of
cannon hcralded as farewell salute to the
great COMMANDER was heard. The train
slowed up AZ it passed the depot whore a
great throng was gathered and the trains
Of band playing the hymn "Ncarer My
God to Thee greeted the cars Of the travel
lors.
From Trenton to Philadelphia the run
was uneventful. Occasionally as n BID all

peering through the gloom to catch a
glimpse of the train. The train did not en-
ter the depot at Philadelphia but went out
on the Y, stopping only long enough to
change engines. About $50 representatives
of different Grand Army posts assembled at
Germantown Junction station in the north
ern part OF the city and presented dress

$40 p. m, A few hundred citizens also
awaited the arrival OF the train and all

orderly leading a black charger which bore
the military trnppings of the general. The
