CAROLINE SCOTT HARRISON,
WIFE or BENJAMIN HARRISON,
Died October %, 1892.

Spanish red cedar, highly polished,

said to be one Of the finest ever con

Funeral services in Washington will
be held carly Thursday morning us
privately as possible. AS far as the
official position of the president will
permit, the services will be the same
us those customary in the case of a
member Of a private family. Invita-
tons will be strictly limited in num-
Der, at the earnest wish of the presi-
dent and of the dead woman herself,
who was aversc to public ceremonies.
Only the lSinsmcn OF the president aud
of his late wife, members of tho cabi-
net and their families and "a very few
intimate friends will be hidden to the
services.
The services will undoubtedly be
held in the East room, the largest in
the building and in fact the only one
adapted to the holding of services
even as private as those which the
family desire. They will be conducted
according to the Presbyterian forms
by the Rev. DIR. Tennis y. Hamlin, pas,
tor of the Church of the Covenant, Of
which the president and Mrs. Hnrri-
son had been regular attendants. The
body will not lie in state, After the
services the funeral party will
leave Washington Thursday at
noon for Indianapolis whore
services of a more public character
will take place. 1t is probable that
the funeral train will reach Indian
apolis early Friday morning. At
about 10 o'clock the church services
will begin in the First Presbyterian
church, indianapolis, the Rev. DR.. A.
L. Haines, pastor of that church otfici-
ating. The body will then be taken
to Crown Hill cemetery and inferred
in lot selected by means Of the tele-
graph, after which the president will
return TO Washington.
MANY TOKENS OF sYMPATHY
Soon after nine o'clock this morning
the body of Mrs. Harrison was en-
balmed. 1t will probably lie in the
room in which she died until che servi-
ces are held Thursday.
The emblem OF mourning was ao-
sent from the hell at the door of the
White house till II o'clock, when the
undertaken placed plain black crepe
knot and bow around it,
Chief Justice Fuller Of the supreme
court called about ll;90 on his way to
the court to express his coincidence
and TO learn the Presidents wishes in
order that he might communicate
them to his associates. He was shown
into Private Secretary Halford's room
but did not see the President.
About noon the president was con,
suited by Private Secretary Haitord

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
Another Bridge Across the Mississippi

Another Bridge Across the Mississippi
departure of the Street BeEgars--
More Electric Roads.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2O.-For years the
people of North st. Louis have had to
ride four or five miles before they could
get to the Eads bridge, near the center
of the city, and cross to the Illinois
towns, East st. Louis and Madison,
where many of them were engaged in
business. Lately they got engineers
and had estimates made of the cost OF
a vehicle bridge in their part of town.
The engineers reported that one
couldn't be built for less than two or
three millions, The Merchants bridge
which spans the river between North
st. Louis and the other side, is only a
railway bridge. The men who wanted
another bridge went to the directors of
the Merchants company, and asked
what terms they could have highway
built along the railway, quite an en-
gineering feat by the way. they
were told the company would do it for
$3.50, 900.
Wen accept" said the North St.
Louis men.
The building of this new bridge, for
It is one, practically, will result in an
enormous increase in the business on
both sides of the river.
Thousands of people who came to
st. Louis during the last few weeks,
when the city was crowded, gave a
nickel or dime to the beggars they
saw on the street corners. There were
all sorts of beggars, blind, MANNED and
musical, and all of them reaped har-
vest, but what must the visitors have
thought of st. Louis?
81 never saw but one other place
where there were so many beggars,"
said lady, standing with her escort
near the postoffice one night, "and that
was in Rome. should think that st.
Louis would keep them in asylums."
To-day, one couldn't find one of those
blind organ-grinders ifhe walked from
one end of the city to the other. They
don't belong in st. Louis. They don't
belong anywhere. Next week they
will be in Chicago or New York. They
follow the crowds all around the coun-
try. 1t is a regular profession with
them, and they make good incomes
begging. Policemen can do nothing
but drive them away from their beats,
and they then appear at another cor
ner in five minutes, and go on grinding
Another electric railway, which
looks on the map like an octopus, is
projected in the city, and the men who
are trying to get the franchise promise
to have it built by the time the throng
fill the streets next fall, and clamor
for fast transportation over every
block they have to go. Every car line
in the city except one short piece out
West, will be run by electricity next
year, and it seems that they cover the
ground pretty well, but these hardy
projectors are willing to give a heavy
bond to get the road finished by DC.

lRvlNE ACQUITTED.
A Verdict Reached in Three and a
Half Honrs.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 25.-The
twelfth and final day OF the great
Irvine trial far surpassed any Of it's
predecessors in exciting incidents and
manifestations OF intense interest. 1t
brought Joy not only to William II.
Irvine but to hundreds OF anxious peo-
pie who have haunted the court house
during the progress Of the long trial.
Probably no murder trial in this state
ever excited such deep sympathy as
shown for the defendant in this case by
many OF the best people in this and
other cities. notably Salt Lake, Utah,
and Marion, Ind, in both of which
places the defendant and his victim
were well known. and il the express
siOns In the court room are trustworthy
indications the result meet popular APP
proval.
1t was 1925 when the bailiffs fairly
plowed passage through the dense
crowd around the bench and led the
jury through it. 1t would have been
impossible TO surmise from the express
sion upon the face OF a single juror as
they took their seats what the nature
Of their verdict was, but the crowd al
ready knew in spite OF their solemn
visages, Walter Hoge, who had been
elected foreman, carried In his hand
the documentary effects Of the jury.
"Gentlemen Of the jury, have you
arrived at a Verdict?n
I'VE have replied the foreman.
You will please hand it the CLERK .
and Clerk Baker stepped forward and
took it from his hands. Returning TO
his desk he opened the paper ana read
its contents.
I'VE, tho jury in the above entitled
case, do lind the defendant not guilty.
The scenes and incidents attending
the reading Of that verdict surpass the
power of description. Every ear was
strained through the almost painful
silence to catch each word leading up
to the climax, and when the words
mot guilty came from the readers
lips the dignity Of the court and the
significance Of its command were for
gotten, and the yell OF earnest, heart
felt approval that broke simultan-
eously from 800 voices would have
Shamed the efforts of the widest Com
anche Indians. Men shouted with the
full strength of their lungs and those
among the women who did not join in
the wild shrek Ct joy waved their
hands and handkerchief.

WASHINGTON, OF 25.-The president
passed the early hours of the morning
in seclusion. but shortly after 7 he
arose and descended to the breakfast
room where he joined the other mem
beers of tho family at o'clock. The
meal was soon over and the family re-
turned TO the private parlor of the
mansion. Soon after breakfast the
president was joined in his room by
the Rev. Dr. Hamlin, pastor OF the
Church of the Covenant, who spent
some time with him.
The cabinet officers were early call.
ers ana rendered their coincidence.
The president is bearing up remark
ably well in his deep affiiction. The
traces Of his great sorrow are plain,
but apparently he has nerved himself
to face the af1liction with fortitude.
His eyes are red with weeping and his
voice broken with emotion. 1t
was his expressed wish to the
members Of the cabinet who called
to-day that the AFFAIRS of the gov
eminent be proceeded with as usual,
and in Difference to this request the
heads of the departments were at
their desks during the day and the
departments remained open MS usual
1t is expected that such members of
the cabinet as can safely leave their
official duties will accompany the
funeral party to indianapolis in the
capacity Of honorary pail bearers.
There were signs of mourning about
the city at an carly hour in the flags
which dropped at half-mast on the
public buildings and on hotels and
private houses, But because Of the
non-otfiaial position Of the presidents
wife these demonstrations of Sympa-
thy were purely voluntary and the
wheels Of the city's life rcvolycd much
as usual.
THE AGED FATHER RESIGNED.
The Rev. DR.. Scott, Mrs. iIarrison's
father, aged 90 years, tearfully told
his friends that he spent the evening
by the side OF his stricken child and
finally retired leaving her peacefully
sleeping When he awoke this morning
they told him that his dear one had
passed away before he could realize
the fact that she should be taken and
he left, and he could not understand
why it should be so, but his faith in
the wisdom of the Master sustained
him and gave him strength to bear
this great sorrow
Though no selection Of body bearers

MRS. HARRISON STRONGER.
The Distinguished Invalid's Condition Not
so CrlticaI--A Little Hope.


WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. "A more cheer
full feeling prevailed at the White
house this morning as result Of the
slight Improvement in Mrs. Harrison's
condition, which began yesterday
afternoon and continued all night
DIR. Gardner visited the patient
about o'clock and reported to the
president that Mrs Harrison was un.
doubtedly u little stronger than she
was yesterday morning. He attributed
the improvement to the fact that she
had slept we'll for person in her con-
dition during the night and
had also been able to take
more nourishment than usual. The
doctor said that she seemed easier aud
more comfortable this morning and he
was satisfied that no material change
in her condition would occur during
the day at least, AT any rate he will
not make another visit until o'clock
this evening, unless something unex.
pected occurs in the meantime.
