1t was originally proposed to form a
procession from Carroll Hall TO the Chureh

in the large crowd.
At Carroll Hall this afternoon the re-
mains of Vice President Hobart lay In
state and the public had an opportunity
to view them. Fully 5000 persons were
in the streets Lines were formed by a
squad of police, but the force was entire
ly too small to maintain any sen.blance
of order. Women, were largely in the
majority. They included all ciassts, and
all had the same opportunity to take last
look at the face of Mr.. Hobart. The first
person to see the remains after thay had

there was a fainting scene A woman
about 20 years old, after gazing on the
face of the dead vice president, stood at
