CHICAGO. Nov. With solemn pomp
and imposing ceremonies BETTING the in-
terment of the Chief Magistrate of the
Worlds Fair city and his dramatic fate,
Carter Fl. Harrison's body was escorted to
Graceland Cemetery to-day by an immense
thrOng of sorrowng citizens.
All night long two lines of people passed
steadily by the bier on which the remains
lay in state in the City ball corridor. The
crowd about the City Hall gradually de-
creased toward morning, as those who had
stood in line for hours to get the last
glimpse of the familiar features passed into
the tiower-decked corridor; but the early
c0mers soon heightened the lines again,
and when finally the time arrived for the
beginning of the ceremonies of the day
and the doors were closed it left vast
thr0ng on the outside debarred of the
privilege of seeing the peaceful features
of the departed chief executive. How
many thousand looked into the casket
during the twenty-four hours the body lay
in state ii is impossible to estimate.
After the door was closed, tenderly the
remains were borne from the back-draped
corridor and placed in the funeFal-car.
Through the great crowd gathered TO see
the murdered Mayors last leave-taking Of
the scene of his labors in behalf of the
city he loved, the black car slowly passed
and took its place in the waiting process
sion. AS it drew into line the march was
taken up, and thousands who had gath
cred to honor the dead moved slowly
through the crowded streets with banners
draped and to the sad music of funeral
marches by bands distributed at intervals
through the long line.
Out from the center of the city the great
procession marched across the river to the
beautiful Church of the Epiphany, near
the late executives home, All along the
line of march the people. with sad faces
and barred heads, watched the somber COL
umn, and about the church throng as
great as that which stood about the City
Hall was gathered.
Arrived at the church, the remains were
carried in and deposited in front of the
cbancel, where in an impressive manner
the solemn service for the dead was per-
formed. at the close of which the process
sion again took up the line of march to
