Down, April IL, 1892.-About two
O'Clock on Saturday special train on
Its way north stopped at our depot to
take water for the engine. There was
nothing about the two ordinary ears
and engine to attract attention or in
dictate that the Head of the executive
| of the Nation. was aboard, and it being
| Just the hour OF tho funeral of Chan
cellor salisbury, and no information
having been given to our citizens that
the President would pass through the
town, there was not a great many at
| or about the depot and those that
were about would have allowed the
cars to have passed without having
seen the President had it not been for
| James ID. Boggs, the ever active and
alert freight agent. who announced
that the President was aboard and
that he had just shaken hands with
him.
| On such announcement there was a
general rush to the cars where the en-
CINE had stopped to take water, but
the President was not to be seen. After
q little the cars moved northward @
little past the depot and stopped, when
the President came to the platform OF
the car, whore he was approached by
Augustus Moore, Senator T.. J.. JoneH
and Samuel b. Hancock and others,
with whom he shook hands very cor
daily when the cars proceeded OH
ward.
