When Judge Enoch looked NJ the records
he discovered that the minister who had
married the couple had never made r.

Canton, Sept. 21.-The decorations OF
the First M. e. church, where the fu-
neral services were held were elaborate
and impressive. Over 1000 yards OF
drapery vas used. Over the front of
the interior, as the funeral party en-
tered. covering the organ loft. there
stretched from wall to wall q paneled
drapery black as midnight. 1t was
nuns yelling ffty-two feet long and
fifteen feet high. Panels were formed
with white satin ribbons two inches
wide. The choir loft railing was rich
~ hung with nuns yelling arranged In
%festoons with silk drapery tassels be-
tween the ~festoons. The pulpit and ros-
trum were heavily covered with black
cloth and h pulpit itself draped with
rich silk crepe. An excellent portrait
OF the late president was fastened to
the front OF the pulpit. The gracefully
draped chancel rail and all woodwork
about the front OF the church was a
mass Of lack. The pew which was oc-
cupied by Mckinley when he attended
services was covered with heavy black
crepe. The side walls OF the church
were hung with streamers. the over
hanging arches with black streamers
and %festoons. The pillars and church
auditorium proper and Sunday school
were in stately black garb. re-
lieved every five feet with narrow bands
Of white silk. The balcony front was
heavily draped and hung with festoons
tied with white silk drapery tassels.
Points OF vantage on the exterior and
tower were also draped in black and
white. Late last night the church doors
were closed TO the public and a guard
stationed to prevent eager visitors from
entering the edifice until the hour set
for the funeral ceremonies.

OF course, as is the case with settlers

more or less trouble. There were in

NEARLY 100000 MoUhNEas.
Record breaking Crowds of 1896 Sur
passed by Funeral Gathering.

Hhbeoa W
Canton, O., Sept. 21.-The streets of
filled with waving plumes, prancing
horses and densely packed bodies
OF moving men, assembled here for the
procession which was to escort the re-
mains OF the late president from the
church to the West Lawn cemetery.
All night long, ard until noon,
civic, military, fraternal, social
and commercial organizations from the
four quarters OF the compas poured
into the seething mass Of humanity al
ready here. Two sections of the train
bearing the senate n the house Of
representatives and other government
officials from Washington arrived dur
ing the morning.
The biggest crowd in the history of
Canton, which was here during the
campaign of 1895. estimated at over co.
900, was exceeded today. People over
flowed the sidewalks and literally
packed the streets from side TO side.
The awe-stricken crowds, upon arrival,
all moved as If by a common impulse
toward the old familiar Mckinley cot
tage, where the remains were lying,
The military guard stationed at the
-four corners of the lawn paced their
beats, but there was no other sign of
life about the house. Window shade
were down. A border OF black
put In place after the body was re-
moved to the house last night fringed
the roof OF the porch. No badge of
conventional mourning was on the
door. Instead there was a simple
wreath Of palms bisected by a beautiful
band OF white and purple satin ribbon.
Sorrowfully the throngs turned away,
the people TO take up their positions at
the church, the representatives 10 seek
their places in the imposing procession.

To give an idea of the widespread
appreciation Of Spotless Town as q resi-
dence, we repeat one days list. From
Kansas City came a minister; from
Brooklyn new married couples and
some tradesmen; from Chicago more
ministers, drummers, n milkman, q sill
ver-plater, and a bugler who was ac-
companied by his cat; st. Louis, Mid
dletown, Ohio, and Louisville increased
the population by druggists and law
yers; n town crler and a sheriff came
from Tolelo In company; a drug clerk
and a street cleaner, the latter not dis
posed to work, came from Minneapolis;
n judge and a priest, the latter sent by
a Rabbi, came from Richmond, and the
Borough of Bronx sent n cobbler and n
painter; an alderman and a golfing
crank came respectively from Nashville
and Plttsburg, and Cincinnati contrib
uted 4 poet.

20 Ten Year,, Affected by This
Recent order.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 23.-ln the
United States court, after listening to
the testimony of Warden Swenson Of
the penitentiary and several others.
regarding the practice in that instltu-
ton In regard to the discharge OF
prisoners, and also the examination Oh
the records, Judge John u. Garland
held tina Warden Swenson was guilty
OF technical contempt, but not WllliuI'
and he was discharged without "a Bne'
Judge Garland further held that the
term OF confinement or Richard A
Tubbs, the prisoner over whose as
charge the contempt proceedings were
brought, commenced from the date
which he entered the ~penitentIary, jan
uery 7, 1901, instead OF the date OF the
sentence. December 6. 1899. This means
that Tubbs, who was rearrested ana
placed in the p~enitentiary to await the
outcome OF this hearing, VIII be obliged
TO remain I'm hat institution for twelve
months and eleven days longer. Judge
Garland further stated, for the instruc-
ton OF the penitentiary officials, that
I'm the future IN the cage OF all prison
ers sent from his court, no matter
what the ate OF their sentence, the
term OF imprisonment was to count
from the date Of their entering the
~penitentiary.
II has been the practice TO count the
sentence as commencing from the date
OF sentence. There are many instances
where appeals have been taken, as In
the Tubbs case. that several months
OF the sentence ave been spent by the
prisoner outside the prison. Take the
case Of Frank Dorsey, the Nebraska
bank wrecker, who kept out Of the
~penltentiary for nearly three years
after he was sentenced. 1t was pro
posed TO count the time that he was
lighting the ease through appeals as
having been held, but, under Judge
Cnrland's holding, Dorsey's term of Inn
prisonment viii count from the date
which he entered the prison.
IT is generally understood here that
Tubbs will make no fight to get out of
the ~penltentiary. He consulted two OF
the leading lawyers OF the city regard
ing the commencing OF an action for
his release on the grounds that he had
been once discharged, but he vas adj
vised hat such "A suit would stand no
OF q successful termination. SO
