Cleveland, Feb. 18.-All that remains
mortal of the late Senator Hanna ar
rived in this city, his home city, today
| over the Pennsylvania railroad Snow
storms at intervals made the day a
gloomy one Not since the body of the
martyred Garfield lay in state in this
city has there been such a deep and
sincere grief.
A large crowd was assembled about
the depot when the train arrived. At
Salem members of Governor Herrick's S
staff Joined the funeral party, of which
the governor had been a member from
Washington. When the members of his
staff Joined him at Salem, near the state
line, Governor Herrick in the name of
the commonwealth extended to the be-
reaved family the coincidence of all
Ohio. The place where this sad rite
was performed seemed indeed a fitting
one, for it was at Lisbon, in Column
biana county, near Salem, that Senator
Elanna was born. There he began his
career.
When the train came to a stop the
first to leave it was Governor Herrick,
followed by his staff. The chamber of
commerce committee alighted followed
by members of the funeral party. The
family and immediate friends, who oc
cupied the private car, were last to
leave the train. The party comprised
Mrs. Hanna, Daniel Hanna and wife,
Joseph Medill Mccormick and wife,
Harry Parsons and wife, Secretary
Elmer Dover and wife, Miss Mary E
Phelps, niece of the senator, Mrs.
Prentiss Baldwin, a sister, and her
husband, Governor Herrick, Bishop
Leonard, and Andrew S. Squire.
The members of the family immedi-
ately entered carriages and were driven
to the home of Dan Hanna. The hand
some black casket, completely covered
with flowers, was then taken from the
car through one of the large windows
by trainmen and received by pail bear
ers, who carried the body through the
depot and deposited it in the funeral
car.
Troop A, which will act as escort at
| the funeral, was at the depot, drawn
up in two pla atoons when the train ar
rived. When the caskes had been
placed in the funeral car and the MEM
berS of the committee and friends had
been assigned carriages, the cortege
headed by a platoon of police, follow
ed by troop A, on black horses, moved
! for the chamber of commerce building
where the body will lie in state until
| Friday noon. All along the line of
| march the reverence, respect and love
| felt for the dead senator was shown.
| Men stood with heads barred in almost
binding snow storm while the cortege
passed and many eyes were filed with
| tears.
AT the chamber of commerce building
an immense crowd awaited the coming
of the cortege. The chamber auditor
| ium, where the body now lies in state
is appropriately draped for the occa-
sion.
