Hearted People at the Residence.
Chicago, Oct. 29.-Tbe family residence
was thronged with sorrowing friends all
day. There was a crush Of carriages and
people all day before the Harrison resi-
dence, and universal sorrow was e.
pressed. The sidewalks were impossible
Six policemen kept the crowd moving on
and two more officers were stationed
before the main entry of the
house to prevent its being overcrowded
with visitors. Granville w Browning an
intimate friend of the family, assisted by
Mr.. Fulton, of the Times, Ftzhugh Har-
risOn, a relative, and several others re-
ceived all the callers who came during
the afternoon and evening. The remains
lay in the room which had been always
occupied by Mr. Harrison as a sleeping
apartment, in the second story Of the
south wing Of his house.
A DEATH MASK.
Late this afternoon a death mask was
executed by Sculptor Fut rs, at the ex-
press wish of the family. The result is
said to be most lifeliko representation
of Mr.. Harriscn's countenance, the under
taking being q success in every way. To-
morrow the remains win be made ready
for the lying in state at the city hall on
Tuesday.
To-day the members of the family were
denied to all but the most intimate
friends All of them bore up hravely un-
der the terrible affliction, the real signiti-
canoe Of which could hardly be recog-
nized by them,
