THE WAY TO THE GRAVE.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March IL
Gathered around the Harrison lot in
Crown Hill cemetery and standing in
solid masses along the winding road
which led to the place where the thou
sands of people who, with bowed heads
ana manifestations OF sincere sorrow,
watched the funeral PROCESSION take its
way through the grounds. The rever-
ent demeanor of the vast assemblage
was more noticeable even than on the
preceding day.
IL was nearly 5 o'clock when the line
OF relatives and friends came up the
graveyard path to the tomb. The still
ness of evening had come, there was
hardly a sound in the air. On the arm
of Lieut.. Commander Parker, Mrs.
Harrison took her place at the head
of the coffin, which had been borne to
the side of the grave by the pall-bear-
ers. The heavy mourning veil which
she wore were visible marked signs
or her grief. Her lips trembled con-
~tinually and it was evident that she
kept her emotion under control by a
great effort.
Near her on the left stood the Gen
erals son, Russell B. Harrison, with
his wife and Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee. Col.
Harrison kept his eyes fixed upon the
casket, never turning them away from
it during the service. Mrs. Russell
Harrison and Mrs. Mckee were COM
r@-d, but now and then a little storm
OF emotion would shake them and
their faces would be buried in their
handkerchief. The brothers of Gen.
harrison, John Scott Harrison and
Carter B. Harrison, stood close To-
gether. Old men with faces that re-
vealed how deeply they felt their loss.
Mrs. Newcomer and Mr.. and Mrs. S..
v. Morris were together at the side OF
the grave. The other relatives stood

Liner Ont of Business.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE French
line steamship L'Aquitaine arrived this
evening after having a trying exper-
fence with wind and sea.
L'Aquitaine left Havre March 9th.
On the 18th, while running in a fierce
westerly gale and a high confused sea,
she was boarded by a wave which car
ried away a. aft port life boat. The
wave seemed to break on both sides
of the vessel at the same time. A
heavy mass of water fell on the smok-
ing room from over the ~starboard rail.
When the water receded it was found
that twenty feet of the s%tarboard rail
had been smashed and carried off.
At $50 p. NJ, on the next day while
the vessel was going on her course at
good speed, the crown of the high
pressure piston broke. For eighteen
hours the vessel kept under way under
her starboard engine and then the nee
essary repairs were completed.

The fire broke out In the boiler room
of the Hiram ". French company. hair
felt factory, just opposite the exposition
main building. Through some confu-
sion. no alarm was turned in for some
time, and ii was fully twenty minutes
after the fire was discovered before the
engines reached the scene. From the
felt factory the flames jumped across
the street. and in a very short time the
exposition building was burning fierce
ly. All the firemen could do here was
to prevent the flames from spreading.
After hard work this was accomplished
and machinery hall, with its valuable
contents, was saved. The main build
ing vas a complete wreck. Two lum-
Der yards adjoining the felt factory
soon suecumbed, Gallagher and Banker
losing one million feet of lumber, and
Henry Henk $780, coo feet of valuable
hard wood. Three small dwellings,
near the lumber yards were destroyed,
but as far as known all the inmates
escaped.
William Miller and his fellow firemen
were the victims of a live wire. The
intense heat melted the net work OF
wires, running in every direction, and
of them in falling struck a troll
ley wire, the other end crossing the
brass nozzle of the hose held by Miller
and Snyder. Both men fell as though
they had been shot. Sheckler and Crit

HARRISON.
1S333-19M.

The interior of the tomb was decor
ated with ferns SO profusely that no
sign of earth or stone was visible. Doz-
ems of exquisitely beautiful floral trib-
utes were placed on the tomb and on
the ground close by.
There seemed to be some hesitation
on the part of the spectators to leave
when the services were over. After the
mourning party had left and was be-
ing placed in the carriages, the thous-
ands Of spectators stood and looked
long at the grave. 1t was apparently
difficult to realize that Benjamin Har-
rison, general, ex-President, Senator,
diplomat, man of affairs, was cold in
the grave.
The arrangements for the services
for the grave had been carefully per-
fected. There was not the slightest
hitch in any of the details. After the
services at the grave were over, and

unloaded at the graveside and the
tomb filled and flowers placed over
all. AS the people slowly left the GEM
etery, the distant boom of cannon, fir
ing the national salute, came to their
ears, and by the time the last gun was
fired, the night was down and the grave
alone.
The only flowers buried with the
casket were those sent personally by
Mrs. Harrison. This was by her spe-
cial request. A portion of the flowers
sent by Russell Harrison and Mrs. Nc
Kee were placed on the grave of Mrs.
Caroline Scott Harrison, their mother.

ENGINEER WAS DEAD


efore His Fast FIyfng Train Took
the Switch. !
SCRANTON. Pa, March lit now
develops that the wreck at Slateford,
on the d. L. & w. railroad, Of No. 4
passenger train, was caused by the
engine taking the switch at a fifty
mile speed, and all the eye-witnesses
and all railroad men who knew Ly-
man Chase, the dead engineer, agree
that he was dead before his train en-
tered the switch. He was a mar
weighing 220 pounds, and therefore
susceptible to apoplexy. That he was
stricken dead somewhere between Del
aware Water Gap and the point of the
accident, is very probable. The fact
that he was using steam a the train
approached the switch. the fiagman
and the condition of the throttle testi-
fy, proves almost conclusiyely that he
was stricken dead after having left the
Water Gap. 1t could not be that he
was asleep, for it was only seven min
utes before the accident occurred that
he was talking with Trainmaster Nc
Cam, at the Water Gap, regarding the
instructions about getting around the
wreck. The company had no more
careful or competent man in its SER
vice. This all the officials and en-
ployes freely testify.

Il am a New Yorker and should |

to New York or have some voice in it's
disposition. 1t is certainly not GUS
tomary in making matches involving
the championship for the challenger to
dictate u~nrecogniZed terms or condi-
lions.
IF the owner of Boralma sincerely
and honestly wants a match with The
Abbott | am ready and nov accept
challenge from him to a race in the
usual and customary sportsman-like
manner without and restriction. For
twenty-five thousand dollars a side,
ten thousand dollars to be deposited
now, five thousand dollars July list,
1901, and ten thousand dollars the
night before the race, all deposits be-
ing forfeited by the horse that does
not come to the wire on race day. The

of September, 1901, on the track of the

II will never race Boralma under

the circle which VA formed tor the
service 81 burial.

CIRCLE Wn1cn was I0fM90 40S hAS
service Of burial.
President Mckinley came to the
grave with Mrs. Durbin and stood
with her during the brief service.
When the prayer was offered the Pres
ident was seemingly deep in thought
and remained so with bowed head
after the final word had Dee said. He
stood with barred head Immediately be-
side the stone monument of the Har-
rison family. and once, when the weari-
ness of the day had touched him, SEEM
lngly, he ieahed against it for a mo-
ment. The air had begun to be chilly
out while some others about the grave,
to protect their heads, barely raised
their hats, the President kept his in
his hand throughout the service. Be-
side him were Governor Durbin and
Private Secretary Cortelyou.
Fifty yards away from the circle OF
mourners and from the tomb were
thousands who heard and watched the
ceremony. Long ropes were stretched
to give free access 70 the grave to the
family and friends, and to keep back
the crowd which formed a solid
square of humanity with the little
group around the grave in the center.
The burial service was very simple
and very brief. The Rev. Mr.. Nicolls
read the short committal and burial
service, and the Rev. Mr.. Haines fol-
lowed with a prayer. The silence was
so deep that the words of the speakers
pronounced tones hardly above the or
binary, could be distinctly heard be-
yond those Immediately around the
grave and by those massed around
the elevation on which the family and
friends stood.
instead of following the, usual prac-
tice, which consists of dropping a
handful Of dust on the coffin, three
white carnations were placed upon the
casket.
When the last word had been said
and the service was over, the attend
ants lowered the coffin to its place.
TO the last it bore the wreath from
Mrs. Harrison and the bouquet Of lilies
of the valley from little Elizabeth. On
the coffin was placed a heavy walnut
cover and then the granite roof OF the
tomb was lowered and closed.
The last resting place of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison is a tomb five feet deep,
and covered with a granite top of the
same thickness. On the reverse side
of the cover is the simple inscription:
