MANY INJURED IN CRUSH.
At the conclusion of the funeral serv-

removed in order that the immediate
friends of the dead president might be
afforded the comfort of a last glance at
his features. and that the people whom
he loved and who loved him might pass
the bier for the same purpose. At half
past twelve the crowds began to pass
through the rotunda, and during the six
hours in which the body was lying in
state, it is estimated that 5000 people
viewed the remains. Just at 1 o'clock a
frightful calamity was narrowly averted
at the east front of the capitol. For
hours the vast throng of people had been
massed in front Of the capitol awaiting
an opportunity to enter the rotunda.
