 FREMONT, O., Jan. 20.-On the crest of
 @ snow. clad slope by the side of his be-
 loved wife, the bier surrounded by his chil
 dren, e president-elect, the members of
 President Harrison's cabinet, representa-.
 tives of the army and navy, delegates from
 both houses of congress, the governor of
 Ohio, members of the legislative bodies
 and masses of military commands, whose
 blue uniforms with scarlet and yellow fac ! ings and bristling bayonets on 6 landscape of driven snow added 6 warmth of color to the wintry scene, the remains ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes were laid to rest this afternoon. The entire arrangements for l the obsequies had been placed in the hands of Assistant Adjutant General Corb!n, U. s. A., and from the opening of the house Sa Spiegel Grove to the crowds of citizens in the morning until the last echo of the salute fired over the grave late in the afternoon everything passed off with military precision. The remains lay in the large family dining room during the morning, where an escort of Grand Army veterans stood guard while the peo- pie of Fremont and surrounding towns were permitted to gaze upon the features whinh have grown so familiar to them all. Veterans of many fields, troops of school crspe-bound American colors, farmers who had come for twenty miles over all but snowbound roads marched for hours through the spacious hall to view the dead. General Hayes remains rested In a neat crspe- covered casket, the corners rounded into Corinthisn columns while eilver plate bore the brief inscription: "Rutherford B. Hayes, January F, 1s93."
 Upon the generals breast were the tri- colored ribbon of the military order of the
 
 same, and the badge of the Army of West Virginia.
 A spray of graceful palms alone rested on the cssket, while on the fag-covered table were the many floral emblems which have arrived from every portion of the country.
 While these scenes were passing at Spiegel grove the town was filling with civic and military delegations. Distin- orto had vio cit ond ao ofo iohf villagers. The members of the Sixteenth regiment, Ohio National Guard, were being mobilized from Toledo, Sandusky, Clyde and other points, while the members of Battery D, of Toledo, the First City Troop of Cleveland, of which Webb o. Hayes Is member, and which had acted as personal escort of President Hayes on his return from Wash ipgton twelve years ago, arrived during the morning. Special trains bearing Sec- retaries Foster, Noble and Rusk. Post master General Wansmaker and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Rathbun, representing the Ohio association at Wash inQton, Governor Mckinley and staff and members of the Ohio senate and house from Columbus came soon afterwards. It was II o'clock when train No. 8 on the Lake Shore bearing MT. Cleveland reached the depot. Company D of the Sixteenth, under Captain Creiger, had with difficulty maintained an entrance way through at the station and came to "present" as the president-elect stepped from the rear plat form of the train. They were met by Webb c. Hayes and Colonel Corbin and driven at once to Spiegel Grove. The crowd was motioned into silence as the carriage passed through the crowded streets. The meeting be- tween the president elect and the members of General Hayes family was impressive In the extreme. The sons of the late president and his daughter, Miss Fannie, received the president elect in the large hallway, and MT. Cleveland clasped each of them fervently by the hand and remained with bowed head. The two ex- presidents have been closer friends than the public knew for many years, and Gen. eral Hayes had completed arrangements to attend the inauguration of Mir. Cleveland next March, expecting to be the guest of Senator Sherman and Colonel Corbin. It was shortly past 3 o'clock when the funeral ceremonies began. The remains rooms of the house and the apartments were filled with mourners and distinguish | ed friends. The services were extremely simple. Dr. James w. Bashford, presi- dent of the Ohio Wesleyan university, in | which General and Mrs. Hayes had long l been greatly interested, and the Rev. J. l..
 L. Albritton. pastor of the Methodist church of this city. oficiated, the latter
 reading the twenty-third psalm and the | quartette, led by Professor Alfred Arthur and David H. Kimberly of Cleveland and
 Mrs. Dorr of this city, rendered two
 hymns, of which the ex president had
 always been extremely fond. These were "When Peace Like @ River" and
 "God be with You till We Meet Again"
 The beautiful notes of the hymns filled the
 spacious house and were broken only by | the occasional sobs of @ mourner, while
 men who had faced an enemy on hundred
 fields gave way to their pent-up feelings.
 This closed the services at the house, and the remains were carried to the hearse by the strong arms of the members of the
 Twenty third Ohio infantry. The honor
 ary pallbearers wereo Secretary Foster, l Governor Mckinley, General Wager of
 York Brigadier General Joseph o. Breck enridpe, U. s. A., Dr. Culver N Haynes and General J. D. Cox of Cincinnati.
