The body OF the honored and illustrlous
Delaware statesman, Hon. Thomas Fran
els Bayard, arrived in this city at $3.50
o'clock last evening, at the French street
p, W. & B. station.
The body was accompanied by Mrs.
Bayard, Miss Florence Bayard, James A.
Bayard, Phillip F. Bayard and Mr.. and
Mrs. s. G. Warren.
The funeral party were met at the
depot by Thomas F. Bayard, Jr., and
Henry l.. Bryan, of Washington.
Hundreds crowded the station plat
K form and the streets around the depot.
I Over six hundred eyes strained to catch
8 Glimpse of the casket in which the body
\ OF Delaware's famous son rested, and the
sight presented as the immense gather
ing strove to get close to the train which
bore the remains, is indescribable.
The services of score OF Chief Dolan's
men were required to keep the eager
( crowd back, and it was with difficulty
that the casket containing the body was
transferred from the car to the hearse.
The funeral party accompanying the
body was forced to alight from the op-
posite side OF the train, and were hur-
ried to cabs that were waiting at the
French street end of the station.
The train was one hour and thirty-tive
minutes late, but despite this fact the
crowd remained. Men, women and
children pushed and surged to get
glimpse Of the casket, which held all
that was mortal Of the great statesman
whom they had known and respected
when in life, and whom they mourn
now as dead.
The famous pair of bay horses which
were the pride Of Mr.. Bayard during his
last days were attached to the family cab
I and conveyed Mrs. Bayard and part of
& the bereaved family to their home.
Mr.. Bayard's remains were taken to
Old Swedes Church, where in the church
of which he was a member, the body
was placed to lay during the night,
watched over by mourning friends until
this afternoon, when it will be consigned
to the tomb where rests his ancestors.
The body left Dedham, Mass. early
yesterday morning and reached Boston
I at 7 o'clock. 1t was there transferred to
the Colonial express and proceeded on
it's way to this city, arriving at 1856
o'clock.
The funera! will take place this after
noon, services to be held at 2 o'clock in
the Old Swedes Church, and the inter-
ment to be made in the churchyard.
Upon the arrival of the mourning party
with ithe body in this city last night,
4 Undertaken Jordan A. Wilson removed

i where it remained through the night in
