Headed by the state guard marching
with reversed arms, the parade moved
slowly away. At the head of the column
rode Brigadier General Mckee and his
! staff. commanding the first division, com
posed of state troops. The regiments
were in heavy marching order.

Der of Boys brigades belonging to the
churches of the city, and then the bat
TALON of artillery commanded by Major
A. B. Shanz.
General James B. Carnahan commanded
the second division, which was composed
of the civic societies, the Grand Army
of the Republic headed by the band of
| the Soldiers and Sailors Orphan home

Then, surrounded by the members of
General Harrisons s old regiment. the Sew
entieth Indiana infantry, came the hearse,
drawn by four black horses Over the
black cloth covering the casket was
thrown a flag. From the bit of each
morse hung streamer of crepe, gathered
IN large rosette at the mouth.
Behind the hearse came carriages, con-
| tanning the state, county and city officials,
members of the Board of Trade and the
indianapolis Commercial Club.
At the statehouse the escort was drawn
up to one side. While the military pre-

with fixed bayonets, it was to lie until
night
Viewed hV ThOusauds
Long before it was possible to admit
them, line of thousands stretched away
from the statehouse door. Before the
doors were opened to the multitude, the
state officials, and officials of the city
and county, passed by the casket.
Throughout the afternoon the crowd
passed through the statehouse unceas-
ingly.
The casket stood on two circular sup
ports, which were wound with crepe,
and over it was flung the great flag,
which, in other days, 1uttered from the
mast Of the battleship Indiana. The mar
bic pillars were hidden beneath broad
bands of black, which encircled them from
the top to the floor Wreaths of laurel
hung upon the columns. Along the cor
ridors were large banners, bearing the
deep mark Of mourning. Here and there,
in corners, were groups of palms and
other plants.
Every business house closed at noon
| and until O'Clock no work of any kind
was done in Indianapolis.
