FUNERAL SERVICES OVER THE RE-
MAINS OF MRS. HARRISON.

President Laid to Rest in Crown Hill
Cemetery at intliannpols-The Services
SiMple but Impressive.
INplANAruLls, Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Harrl-
sons remains have been laid at rest
in Crown Hill cemetery. The SER
vices in the church and ut the grave
We're brief and without display. Busl-
ness was practically suspended by order
of the mayor and the city was inmourn-
ing garb for its favorite daughter. Its
business streets, bright but few days
since with decorations i'll honor OF the
discoverer of the continent, mutely told
of the general sorrow. Flags were dis
played at half mast from roof and Win
dow, and for block after block there
was hardly IL building that was not
drapeu to more or less elaborate eX-
tent. Some of the biggest structures
had streamers of black and white reach
ing from roof to sidewalk, or stretched
across from window to window on
every story. On other streets goods had
been removed from the show windows
and displaced by mourning emblems
and devices of various kinds. while
mourning rosettes We're displayed on
many of the residences along the route
of the funeral procession to the cemetery.
Arrival of the Train.
On the arrival of the funeral train the
casket WAS borne tolhe church and after
the funeral party was conducted to
carriages the cortegc moved by way of
/! Illinois avenue and thence on Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the church. A message
from Washington had been received i'll
! timating that it was the presidents de-
sire that the arrangements be so changed
as to dispense with the soldiers from the
United States arsenal who had been Sc
lccted to act AZ active pail bearers. The
| request was due to the wish of the presi-
dent to avoid anything savoring of dis
(; play OF ostentation and the honorary
pail bearers who had been selected We're
! notified of the change and attended in
active capacity. They We're rs follows:
Judge w. A. Woods, Thomas r. Sharpe,
w. p. Fishback, Moses q. McLain, DR..
II. r. Allen. John B. Elam. Hugh
Hanna, e. B. Martindale, General Lew
Wallace of Charlottesville, Hon. w. Z.
Niblack of Viucennes, John r. Elder,
Theodore P. Naugey.
AT the Church.
About one-thlrd OF the seating capac-
itv of the church had been reserved fol
the immediate family, relatives and
friends and those of the general public
who were first on the ground were then
admitted until every seat was occupied
An exception to this rule was made ii
behalf of about sixty members of Gen
eral Harrison old regiment, the Seven
tieth, and they We're given seats in the
south aisle The total seating capacity
of the church s.only about 500, so only
a comparative few Of the thousands whc
were anxious to participate i'll the eNer
cises were able to gain alnittance. Iht
church presented somber and ye
handsome appearance as the corteg'
PASSED through its doors. The front o
the big organ behind the pulpit platform
had been entirely hidden with folds o
drapery festooned in black and white
while above were three shields similarl,
festooned and SO arranged as to typify
burst of sunlight, the entire effect bein
) extremely striking. Wide drapings 0
black ran the entire length of the ed
flee over the stained glass windows an
were relieved at each panel with mon
5 ster roscttes of white. Two America
| flags were draped over the front of tn
l gallery and beneath which the processio
l passed on entering the church. The te
side lights were fcstooned in black an
=. white and smilax, while from each dt
e pended cluster of carnations, roses an
, palm leaves. Back of the pulpit an
e surrounding the organ a profusion
: plants palms and flowers in bloom file
: the air with fragrance.
