wAsuINo7oy, D. c., Oct 25..-Very
cold and dreary appeared the Prest-
dents home in the chilled and frosty
air OF the grey and misty autumn
morning.
The rwatchman paced their beats at
the gate. The grounds were deserted
and the only sound that was made was
the rustling OF the yellow leaves which
dropped from the stately elms and oaks
at every pull Of air. Mrs Harrison had
died with the leaves aud the flowers
she loved so well. Her life had cbbed
away at that awe-inspiring hour Of the
night which precedcs tho first flush oil
dawn; when the blood runs slowly and
nature seems 10 have almost suspended
It's functions. The news Of her death
Vavc rise to universal expressions OF
sympathy, but caused no surprise, as
every one in Washington expected and
were prepared Tor it. The people going
10 their work glanced at the headlines
IN the morning Post and exchanging
few sympathetic words, went on their
way with sober faces, aud the routine
OF the day proceeded.
THE HOUSE, GUARDED.
The guard OF special officers detailed
immediately on the death Of Mrs. llar-
rison to prevent the entrance OF in
truders into the white house or its
grounds was maintained this morning
and no one admitted without some spe-
cial reason. At an early hour Under.
taker Spears was sent for and Robert
A. Parke, the southeastern passenger
agent OF the Pennsylvania railroad, was
also summoned to await information ot
the wishes OF the President and his fam
ily in regard to arrangements for the
transportation OF the dead and the fun.
eral party to indianapolis. Funeral
services in Washington will not he held
early Wednesday morning, as intended
last night, but will take place Thursday
morning. 1t is the especial wish OF the
family that the services shall be as pri-
yate as possible The funeral will be n
personal and not public one. As far
as the official position Of the President
will possibly permit, the services will
he the same as those customary in the
case OF q member OF private family
Invitations will be strictly limited in
number and no persons will be allowed
TO be present without them.
The funeral services will undoubtedly
be held in the east room. This is the
laruest room in the building, and in
fact the only one at all adapted to the
holding Of services even rs private as
those which the family desire. They
will be conducted according to the
Presbyterian forms by the Rev. DR..
Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor OF the Church
of the Covenant on Connecticut avenue,
of which the President aud Mrs. Har-
rison have been regular attendants.
The body will not lie in state. After
the services here the funeral party will
leave Washington Thursday at noon,
or soon thereafter, for Indianapolis,
where services OF a more public charac-
tor will take place.
FUNERAL AT INDIANAPOLIS.
1t probable that the funeral train
will reach Indianapolis early Friday
morning and at about 10 o'clock the
church services will begin. They will
take place in tho First Presbyterian
Church Of Indianapolis, on the corner
OF New York and Pennsylvania streets.
The Rov. DR.. NJ. l.. Haines, pastor OF
that church, will ofliciate. Tho body
will be then taken to Grown Hill ceme-
terry. after which tho president will
return to Washington. The president
has no plat in the cemetery, but the
telegraph has been put to use and by
this means n selection oi last resting
place for tho loved one will be made.
The postponement OF tho services
here until Thursday has been nccossi-
tated by the delay involved in making
these ARRANGEMENTS at q long distance.
Only the tinsmen OF the President
and his late wife, probably the mem.
befs Of tho cabinet and their families,
aud a very lew intimate friends VIII be
hidden 10 the funeral services here.
