LYING IN STATE.
People Hurried Past the Bier I'm
Double File All Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-As soon as the
rotunda was cleared of those who had been
invited to attend the religious services the
bier was prepared for the inspection of the
general public. The floral offerings which
covered the coffin were put aside and the
lid was lifted from the head of the coffin.
Some time was required to put things en-
tirely in order, and it was half-past twelve
before the throng which had been waiting
from early morning on the outside was ad-
mitted.
AS the coffin rested on the catafalque it
was just about high enough to permit of
easy inspection by adults. The crowd en-
tered through the east main door of the
Capitol and passed out through the west
exit. The people came in double file, one
line passing to the right and the other to
the left of the casket. Only hurried
glance was permitted to anyone, as it was
announced that the ceremony would close
promptly at $50 o'clock. Whenever there
was an attempt to linger, especially over
the casket, as there was in many instances,
the person making il was admonished by
the Capitol police to pass on" When they
still remained they were pushed along. In
this way about 100 people were enabled to
view the remains every minute. The pres
sure from the outside was terrific. Many
women and children tainted and others
We're more or less hurt. The crowd con-
sisted of men, women and children, and all
colors and ages were represented. Many
children were carried through the building
in the arms of their parents. AS the body
of the dead President lay in state it was
guarded by representatives of all branches
of the Nations martial service, under COM
mand of Gen. w. +. Randolph, chief of ar
tillery. Directly at the head Of the casket
stood a marine, who faced another at the
foot On each side Of these two sentries
the crowd passed. On either side of the
marine at the head stood an artilleryman,
while the marine at the foot of the casket
was fanked by seamen. Other artillery
men, seamen and marines formed a lane
through which the people passed. Back
of them on either side, was a line of floral
pieces. There were over hundred of these.
The whole scene was photographed scores
of times Apparently the throng was in an
apprehensive state of mind, for every time
a fashlight picture was taken piteous
screams were heard from the people about
the entrance.

His Black Charger Fell.

During the Odd Fellows parade yesterday
afternoon an accident occurred which for
time was thought to have resulted in
serious injury to Charles y. Elliott, Re
publican nominee for city clerk. Mr.. FL
lott was mounted on a powerful and very
fractions black horse, the excitement at
tendant upon the parade serving to make
bad horse worse. Although a superb horse
man, Mr.. Elliott had the greatest diff
ficulty in keeping his seat, the horse rear
ing and plunging at every step. Finally,
just as the horse and rider reached Merid-
ian street, going east on Washington, the
animal reared high in the air and fell over
backward, apparently crushing his rider
beneath him. These in the crowd in the
immediate vicinity of the accident turned
shudderingly away from the scene, beiiev
ing that Mr.. Elliott had been killed. But
IN trice the fallen rider was UP and
astride of the beast which had carried him
Z to the ground and -Tede away with the
plaudits of the crowd. apparently none the
worse for the accident. 1t was an exhibit
ton of gamenesS that delighted the crowd
as much as anything in the parade. After
the parade Mr.. Elliott said his injuries were
trivial and with the aid of little lini-
ment he would be we'll within
the next'few days.

whispered conversation audible.
At 1912 o'clock the mead of the process

into the plaza, and passing in front of the
Capitol as usually is done on the occasion
or presidential inaugurationS, the military
contlngents passed eastward on street,
thence south on First street, east. Headed
by Major General John r. Brooke and

the troops swept around to the south END

fronting the main entrance to the Capitol.
AS soon as they had been formed at rest,
the Artillery Band on the left and the
Marine Band on the right of the entrance,
the funeral cOrtege with its guard of honor
entered the plaza from the north. AS the

whispered commands, presented arms. The
guard of honor assembled the steps, the
naval officers on the right, and the army
officers on the left, forming a Gordon on
each side just within the ranks Of the
art1llerymen, seamen and marines.

With careful and solemn tread the body
bearers began the ascent of the staircase
with their precious burden. and tenderly
bore it to the catafalque in the rotunda.

Great Crowd at Harrisburg.

BALTIMORE, on Board the Funeral
Train, Sept. 17.-Leaving Washington, the
long, winding train bearing the remains
of the martyred President plunged out into
the dark night and hurried like black
streak on it's mournful journey. The cur
tains of the train We're drawn as il pulled
out of the station, save only for the tb-
servation car, in which the corpse lay,
guarded by a soldier and a sailor. That
car alone was flooded with light. The
countless thousands extending from the
station far out into the suburbs of the
national capital, waiting patiently through
a drenching rain, had an opportunity 10
catch a last fleeting glimpse of the flag
covered casket as the train sped by. Sew
eral thousand people on the bridge over
the eastern branch of the Potomac, strain
ing for last glimpse, could be seen by
the lights strung along the bridge as the
train moved under it.
The funeral train was divided into three
sections, running ten minutes apart A
section containing the Cuban Commission
and a number of officials of the govern
ment preceded the funeral train proper
and this was preceded fifteen minutes by
pilot engine. The last section contained
the guard of honor, headed by Major
General Brooke and Admiral Dewey. After
clearing Washington all was darkness. The
train seemed TO be running through "A
tunnel so black was the night. Now and
then the faces Of little mournful group,
bareheaded, at the side OF the track, could
be seen by the light from the death cham
Der as the train flashed by, and as the
little villages between Washington and
Baltimore were passed the sound Of toll

n.Ourners aboard.
As the tram came out of the long tun-
mel leading TO Baltimore before reaching
the Union Station thousands Of silent
forms could Ice seen and the dismal tolling
of bells could be heard. A clear-drawn

INCIDENTS OF THE PARADE.
The Lively Antics of a Black Horse
The Crowds Cheered.

The lively antics Of large black horse
ridden by C. w. Darnell, of 905 Camp
street, this city, just the fourth division
of the parade was passing the monument
on the north side created boundless excite
ment, both in the ranks of the marchers
and in the immense multitude that pressed
against the ropes along the line of march
at that point. Darnell was an aid on the
staff of Frank w. Flanner, commander of
the Marion county division. The animal he
was riding grew excited at the noise of
many bands playing at once and a the
sight of so many people about him and be-
gan suddenly to and plunge in a man
ner calculated to brighten the most skilled
rider Mr.. Darnell, however, chung to the
saddle until the animal reared his hind
legs to an almost perpendicular attitude,
and then slipped off to the street back
wards. The man would have escaped un-
hurt had he not been struck by the horses
heel before he could get out of reach of
the frightened animal. Darnell's plight was
observed by Police Sergeant Crane, who
ran quickly TO his assistance, holding the
plunging horse until it became somewhat
quoted. The injured man was taken into
the Hotel English and attended by DR.. l..
A. Crockett, of the official staff of physi-
clans, who happened to be close at hand
when the accident occurred. Contrary to
the advice of the doctor, Mr.. Darnell, after
street mounted his horse and rejoined his
division. He was the recipient of much ap-
plauSe for the plucky manner in which he
stuck to his excited horse after many
other rider would have jumped and got
out of harms way.
Monument place, during the progress of
the odd Fellows parade yesterday after
noon, presented a spectacle such as has not
been witnessed often in this city. The en-
tire circle was massed with humanity, ex-
cept in the narrow space reserved for the
procession. and the sea of people reached to
the feet of the stalwart figures of stone
that guard the entrances to the great shaft
in the center of the circle. Not an inch of
the broad plaza was visible so closely
packed were the people. Had the weather
been even slightly warm there. must have
been many prostratiOns in such jam.
XXX
The odd Fellows cannot complain that
their monster demonstration was not ap-
preciated by the citizens of Indianapolis
and the out-of-town people that saw it yes
terday afternoon. Not only did the throngs
on both sides of the line of march applaud
frequently and vigorously, particularly
when some more than ordinarily handsome
feature of the pageant passed, or when a
canton of PatriarchS Militant executed
some fancy and intricate manuever but at
the clubs and in the large office buildings
along the route of the parade were large
crowds of spectators that did little else
than 10 testify their appreciation OF the
great event by clapping their hands until
they must have been sore and cheering un-
iii they were hoarse. Ii was great pa
rade and the people were not niggardIy
with their appreciation OF IT.

YORK, Pa, Sept. 17.-Passing out OF the
station at Baltimore the track was lined
with people. Laborers and handsomely
dressed women stood side by side once or
twice a quick flare from a photographer
light exposed the whole train 20 view.
At Parkton, just before the Maryland
line was reached, brief stop was made
TO attach an extra engine 10 help the
heavy train up the grade al this point.
Then for miles the train ran through the
Dutch settlements of Pennsylvania. IL was
now after 10 % clock, but many Dunkards
the men uncovered, the women IN their
quaint bOnnets, were at the track. Others
of these simple folk could be seen IN the
open doOrways OF their lighted farmhouses
