INDIANAPOLIS A CITY OF MOURNING


 INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 28.-The capital of the State is in mourning garb for it's favorite daughter. Sombre drapery is to be seen on every hand. Flags are dis played at half mast from roof and win dow, and for block after block there is hardly a building that is not draped to more or less elaborate extent.
 Some of the biggest structures have streamers of black and white reaching from roof to sidewalk, or stretched across from window to window on every story. In others the goods have been removed from the show windows and replaced with mourning emblems and devices of various kinds, while crepe and white rosettes are displayed on many of the private residences along the streets over which the funeral procession is to move to the cemetery.
 Business is almost entirely suspended, most of the business houses having de. cided to close before Mayor Sullivan is. sued his proclamation. Many industrial establishments have also suspended opera tions for the day.
 President Harrison's brother, J. S. Har- rison of Kansas City, Mrs. A. Saunders and Charles l.. Saunders of Nebraska, mother and brother of Mrs. Russell Har- rison; Gen. Schofield, Mrs. Schofield and Captain Schofield, ex-President Hayes, Secretary of the Treasury Foster and Hon. T. w. Palmer of Michigan, Presi. dent of the Worlds Columbian Commis~ sion, have arrived to attend the obse- quies.
 It was the Presidents desire that the arrangements be so changed as tc dispense with the services of the ten soldiers from the United States Arsenal, who had been selected to act as active pail bearers. The request was due to the wish of the President to avoid anything savoring of display or ostentation.
 The honorary pall-bearers that had been selected, Judge w. A. Woods, Thos. H. Sharpe, w. P. Fishback, Moses G. McLain Dr. H. R. Allen, John B. Elan, Hugh Hanna, E. B. Martindale, Gen. Lew Wallace of Charlottesville, Hon. w. F. Niblack of Vincennes, John R. Elder, Theodore P. Haughey, were notified last evening thatsthey must take part in an active capacity.
 The interior of the First Presbyterian Church presents a sombre, yet beautif Ill appearance.
 Florists and decorators to a total of IS were hard at work yesterday, and their labors were not finished until this morning. Tue front of the big organ behind the pulpit platform has been en- tirely hidden with folds of drapery fes- tooned in black ana white, while above are three shields, similarly festooned and so arranged as to typify burst of sunlight, the entire effect being extreme ly striking.
 Wide drapings of black run the entire length of the edifce, over the stained glass windows, relieved at each panel with monster rosettes of white. Two American flags are draped over the frout of the gallery, but there is no other dis play of the national colors. The ten side lights are festooned in black and white and smilax, while from each de- bends cluster of carnations, roses and palm leaves.
 Beautiful snow white echrysanthemums, towering to a height of eight feet, sup. port either side of the pulpit, while be- fore it are palms, eXotics, and long, graceful ferns; back of the pulpit and surrounding the organ a profusion of plants, plams, and flowers in bloom fill the air with fragrance.
 There are heavy drapings over the ex terior of tho two entrance doors of the | church.
 The services in the church will be sim pie. When all are seated Cardinal Newman's hymn, Lead, Kindly Light, will be rendered by the choir, and Rev Dr. Haines, Mrs. Harrison's pastor dur | ing the latter years of her residence il this city, will deliver a short invocation | A selection of Scripture will be read, and l the pastor will make a brief address | The mourners will be led in prayer by Rev.
