FUNERAL Of GEN. HARRISON
THOUSANDS VIEWED REMAINS
Casl<et Covered with American Flag
abundance Of FlOwers-Lay In
State Nine Hours at Indianapolis
Procession u Long One.

indianapolis, March l7.-Beneath a
canopy of black placed under the rotunda
of the capitol building, in a casket covered
with the silken folds Of the Stars and
Stripes, surrounded BY thousands Of
blossoms, while over all swung the great
battle flag that flew from the warship
Indiana during the naval battle Of Santi-
ago, the body Of ex-President Harrison lay
in state for nine hours Saturday. During
that time fully $4,000 persons passed by
the coffin to take last look at the dis
tinguishcd dead, and when at 10 o'clock to-
might the capitol doors were finally closed
and the people told that no more could
1 enter, there we're several thousands more
waiting patiently in line.
The body lay in state from l:lO o'clock
in the afternoon until 10 o'clock at night,
and not once during the hours was there
= break or halt in the lines which passed
sapidly by on the right and left Of the
casket. 1t was Indiana's day with her
j dead, and most touchingly was the esteem
and honor IN which General Harrison was
\ held by his fellow citizens revealed. In
front Of the Harrison home, along the
streets through which the remains were
rarried ON their way to and from the state
house, in the lines that stretched at times
= half mile from the doors OF the capitol,
men, women and children stood for hours
waiting their opportunity to pay tribute
0f.respect ID the dead. 10 was an immense
AhrnnU hut 6na mora easily handled Or
1 rather ono Tat required lee handing
I never gathered anywhere There was no
jostling, no disturbance q any kind.
