CHURCH DRAPED
FOR THE FUNERAL
HARRISON TO BE BURIED FROM
CHURCH WHERE HE ATTEND
ED FOR A LIFETIME.

Indianapolis, March 15.-The draining
and decoration of the First Presbyterian
church, where the funeral Of General
Harrison will be held, will be completed
tomorrow afternoon.
Inside the church the east wall, where
the entrance is. will be draped with
heavy festoons of black, hanging from
the tower line of the balcony, and French
cascades, with touch here and there of
white. The balcony will be draped in
solid black, with line Of white along
the top, and flags will be draped over the
two arched doors. The north and south
walls will be treated in the same manner
in heavy black. FestoOns and fresh cas-
cades will be draped from the heavy
beams on the walls which descend from
the supports of the roof, thus conceal
ing much of the lower part of the six
windows. In the west end of the church
over the organ pipes, and nearly con-
cealing the entire organ, will be heavy
black drapings and over this black will
be two immense flags. The front of the
platform and the railing about the choir
will be covered with solid black. At
the foot Of the platform will be placed
flowers and palms and palm will be
placed on the two corners of the plat
form with smaller flowers between them,
and the pulpit, so arranged as not to in
terfere with the view. Two front center
pews will be removed so as to make
room for the floral offerings and coffin.
The Harrison pew. No. ~. will be draped
in black along the back, caught up at
intervals with black and white rosettes
with a black rosette at the of the pew.
A silk flag will be draped from the back
of the pew in front with the stars at the
left end of the pew and the other end
of the flag falling over the end of the
pew and just touching the floor in the
aisle. 1t will be looped up at inter-
walls with black bands.
Owing to the limited capacity Of the
First Presbyterian church and to the
large number Of people who will wish to
| attend the funeral services Of General
Harrison the doors will be open to the
| friends of the family by card. Cards will
be furnished on application to Score.

WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. THURSDAY. JUNE 1901

Torrance had been chief offender, and him he hailed.
 "NIr. Torrance" said Langdon, his eyes ablaze, his lips very white, "you are reported to have said thus and so this afternoon"
 T did" said Torrance, rising from his chair .What have you to say about it?
 t.This!' was the only reply as sting ing blow sent Torrance crashing over the table.
 The instant action of officers present stopped further hostilities. Nathan sent Langdon to his quarters in arrest and his company clerk to work. Charges and specifications ten pages drawn out were preferred. No plea was listened to. A court was ordered in due season, and it had no alterna- tive On a still October evening the order that day received from Washing ton was formally read to the command, and next morning when the depart fnent inspector had them all out for an early review he, without whom re- views seemed hardly complete, looked sadly on from far corner, practical ly ruined man.
 But thorc were friends to go with him to the station after his brief inter- view with Melville-noble hearted Mel vile that day-NIay and Woodrow and others of the boys, besides some scores of 'boys in b1ue'' who had slipped away and were bent on giving their pet lieutenant parting cheer, and there was an incident that became historic.
 The railway station was like all far western stations of those days, an or dinary brown frame building with pro- jeeting roof overhanging the platform and a broad, open space at the gable end. and here it was, in tho presence of half a dozen officers and quite a swarm of citizens and "boys i'll blue9, off duty, the memorable rencontre occurred. The instant Captain Nathan stepped from his handsome carriage, with the whis- tie of the express already sounding far down the Pawnee, he found himself confronted by Langdon. whose dark features took on no flush of the wrath that consumed him, but whose erect and slender form, patent in it's athletic proportions even through the simple civilian suit he wore, quivered from head to foot. It was vain for Nathan to dodge. The words came like the sting of a whiplash:
 You are no longer my superior. off cer, Nathan, and there's only a moment to say my say. Your language at the club this morning has been told me. Now hear my reply. Today we stand, you in the pride of your, wealth and power, I with the world to begin again. More than to any man in the regiment owe my troubles to you. Yet wouldn't exchange my soldier record for yours if reinstatement were offered me this minute. No! I'm not to be in- tinidated by any gesture. All I have to say is that if God spares my life before ten years pass our places shall be reversed you will be at the bottom, at the top. Now you may go.''

He nsade him come to his quarters and Spend an evening or two. His wife, his children and a very interesting niece-aH seemed to take hand in Langdon's entertainment, but it lasted only week or so, for matters were haStening to climax. The colonel had sent for the young officer, roughly told him that the army was no place for men as deeply involved as he, went on about neglected duties,' frequent lapses over liquor, all of which was grievoEs exaggeration, yet honestly be- lieyed by him to be true, and poor Langdon came away stung, stunned and hopeless.
 That night, very late, long after ev- SAJ O14C OuS thC ltI4 VI l fire broke out near the haystacks, and while the men were at work with buck ct and hose and the entire command was on duty it was observed by more than one officer that Langdon was per- ceptibly under the influence of liquor.

 Three nights later came clash. Melville's pretty niece, q wholesome, pure minded girl. was devoted to rid ing. Melville asked Langdon to take her out, and Captain Nathan, Mr. Tor rance and two or three of their set, viewing the performance from afar, made comments thereon in presence of young fellows like May, who liked Largdon more than a little, and it all got to Langdon's ears. He marched straight to the clubhouse. It was just before tattoo, and a number of officers were seated on the yeranda chatting, smoking and sipping cooling drinks.
