A MoURNFUL JOURNEY.
Funeral Train Bears GoebePs Re.
mains to COyfncton. His ola uon


Funeral Train Bears Goebeps Re-
mains to Covington, His Old Home.
Covington, Ky, Feb. 1.-THE special
Goebel funeral train arrived here at
three o'clock in the morning from
Frankfort. 1t consisted of baggage
car, with the casket and floral tributes,
coach for the pall-bearers, judges of
the appellate court, legislative COM
nittee and others, and Pullman, with
the relatives.
1t was an impressive scene when the
casket was removed from the Capita
hotel at Frankfort, shortly before foul
a. m. The hearse, followed by carriage.
and many pedestrians, proceeded under
the electric lights to the special train
| which left at four a. m. on the mourn.
full journey.
Respectful Demonstration.
The demonstration in honor of Goe-
bel in the city and county, which he
had represented in the state senate for
IL years, was peculiar and simple. With
the exception of floral tributes, car
ried in the procession, there was no
attempt at display. The relatives had
been driven to their respective homes,
and not single carriage was in line.
Aguard of honor, consisting of so neigh
bors, received the body at the depot,
and another guard was in waiting for it
at Odd Fellows hall.
The Procession.
The detail of police at the depot led
the procession, followed by the guard
OF honor, members of the legislature
and of the court of appeals, Kenton
County Bar association, Campbell Coun-
ty Bar association and other organiza-
lions, but the great bulk of the process
sion was made up of multitude of
people who assembled at the depet and
fell in along the line of march, so that it
was necessary for the police to take
charge when the remains reached Odd
Fellows hall. 1T was impossible to es-
innate the number of people along the
line of march, and at Odd Fellows hall,
during the first hour after the arrival
Of the funeral train, but only small
portion could gain entrance during the
early hours, under the guidance of the
officers. At no time during the fore
noon was there any cessation of the
current of people passing the cata-
falque.
Simple Services.
1t was not intended to have any re-
iigious services here. but two prayers
We're offered. and Miss Carrie Belmer
and Mrs. Jessie Bowren-C Caldwell fur
nished music. Mrs. Caldwell sang at
the funeral of Horace Greeley, and will
sing at the Goebe obsequies again in
Frankfort on Thursday. The prayer
in German was by Rev. Gilbert
Schmidt. pastor of St. Paul German
Protestant church of which Gov.
Goebel's parents were members. The
prayer III English was by Rev. H. w.
Ewing. CT the Union Methodist church.
There was no music in the procession.
and there will be no band when the
neighbors this morning follow the
casket again from the hal to the de-
pot. 1t was intended to close the hall
at ten p. M. but at that hour the
crowds extended for squares in the vi
entity of the hall. and it was then de-
cided to keep the hall open all night,
or until the crowds were exhausted.
