carried through the door to the hearse.
AS the oasket appeared, covered with the
national colors which had been presented
for the occasion by the members of the
Loyal Legion Of the state of Indiana, the
soldiers presented arms. the civilian
bodies uncovered as did the thousands Of
spectators who filled the streets in every
direction. There was not a sound as
the body was paced in the hearse with
the exception of the muffled roll of the
drums.
Behind the national guard came a
number of boys brigades belonging to
the different churches of the city, and
then the battalion of artillery. COM
manded by Major A. B. Shance and COM
prsing Batteries A, B and c Of the state
guard.
Gen. j. B. Carnahan, surrounded by {,
numerous staff, comprised the second G>-
vision. which was composed of the civil
societies, which came in the following
order:
Columbia club, Marion club, both. local
republican organizations, members of
different posts of the G. A. r., headed
by the band of the Soldiers and Sailors
orphan home. Then, surrounded by the
members OF. General Harrison's old regi-

hearse, drawn by four magnificent black
horses. Over the cloth covered casket
We're thrown the silken folds of the
Stars and Stripes. There was no other
decoration. The flag for which he hal
fought in war and whose honor and dig
nifty he had upheld in peace, was the
only decoration. Flowers We're not to be
seen anywhere. He lay in death beneath
the flag under which he lived and it was
enough. =
From the bit of each horse hung a
streamer of crepe, gathered In a large
rosette at the mouth, and this was the
only mark of mourning the horses bore.
Behind the hearse came carriages
containing the state, county and city
officials, members of the board of trade
and the Indianapolis Commercial club.
Arriving at the state house, the es-
cort was drawn up to one side, and
then, while the military presented
arms and the drums rolled softly, the
casket was borne into the state house,
where, surrounded by it's guard of hon
or with fixed bayonets, it will lie until
night. Long before it was possible to
admit them, line of people, thousands
long, was stretched away from the state
house waiting for the time to come

Before the doors We're opened to the
multitude, the state officials and officers
of the city and county passed by the
casket. The handling of the crowd by
the police and committee was excellent.
Their task was rendered comparatively
easy by the fact that it was not a diff
cult crowd to control. There was no
jostling, and the line, once in motion,
moved swiftly into the state house, past
the casket and out at the opposite side
of the building. All during the after
noon the crowd passed through the
state house INCREASINGLY, and never once
was there hitch or jar. The casket
stood on two supports which We're
swathed in crepe, and over it was flung
the great flag, which in other days
futtered from the mast of the battle
ship Indiana. The natural gloom of the
state house was heightened by the
black streamers which We're in evidence
upon every side. The marble pillars
were hidden behind the broad bands
which wound around them from the top
to the floor.
The only relief was that in each one
hung wreath of golden laurel. All
along the corridors were large banners
variously arranged, but all of them
bearing the deep mark of mourning.
Here and there in corners were groups
of palms and other plants. but they
served only to accentuate the deep
black which was on every side. AS a
mark of respect to Gen. Harrison, every
business house closed at noon, and from
then until 2 o'clock no work of any
kind was done in Indianapolis.
None of the distinguished visitors who
will attend the funeral tomorrow are
present today. and none of them are
expected before tomorrow.
President Mckinley. who is to be the
guest of Gen. Durbin, will arrive at
$40 in the morning, and he is expected
to be the first. The others will arrive
at different times between and
o'clock. by which time it is expected
they viii all he here.
