The fatal ball that pierced his frame and laid

A statesman with an intellect of comprehen

A patriot with a heart as warm as ever beat in

An orator whose lips of Are have ravished mor

His faith in Gcd and love to man were elements

at 6 o’cloek on schedule time, having made
the run from Washington, 479 miles, in
twelve hours and thirty-nine minutes.
SOLEMN AND QUIET IN PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, September 24. —During the
four minutes stop here, while the train
was being shifted to the Cleve
land and Pittsburg Railroad tracks,
no one ventured a word above a
whisper, and the funeral party kept them
selves out of sight. At 5:54 the
train drew eui of the depot
and slowly crossed the bridge to A1
leghany City, where the car containing
the Cleveland committee was attached to
the train. Along the line of the railroad,
when It passed through West Park, the
tracks were covered with plants in full
bloom and beautiful and expensive floral
tributes.
mks. Garfield’s car shifted.
Wellsville, O , September 24.—The
Congressional caught up here with the
funeral train, which delay was by requeat
of Mrs. Garfield, in order that the coach
in which she was riding should
be placed in the rear of the train. The la
dies did not sleep well last night, because
of the heat aud being too close to the en
g.ne. The weather is very warm to-day.
The bells are tolling.
THS DEAD PRESIDENT’S MOTHER AND SIS
TERS.
Cleveland, 0., September 24.—'The late
President’s mother arrived in the city yes
terday, and is at the house of Governor
Sheldon. The President's sisters, Mrs.
Larabee and Mrs. Trowbridge, and two
little sons of the President, will also stop at
Governor Sheldon’s.
THE FUNERAL TRAIN AT CLEVELAND.
The funeral train arrived at 1:30 p. m.
The arrangements bad all been completed
for the reception of the remains at the de
pot for an hour before it arrived, and the
casket was immediately placed in a large
hearse, which was massively draped with
mourning. It was drawn by four jet black
horses, with black broadcloth neck and
body blankets, trimmed with deep silver
fringe. Each horse was led by a colored
groom.
The first to ailgbt from the funeral train
were General Sherman and staff. They
formed along the platform, between which
the immediate members of the family of
the late President walked, two by two, to
carriages in waiting for them. Mrs. Gar
field, her son Harry and daughter Mollle,
first entered a carriage. As Mrs. Garfield
passed down the platform leaning on
the arm of her son and accompa
nied by Secretary Blaine, every eye
was upon her. She was closely
veiled, but her face could be easily seen.
Her expression was somewhat careworn
but firm, and she exhibited remarkable
fortitude as she passed through the throng
of people about the depot. As soon as the
remains had been deposited In the hearse
the church bells commenced tolling and
continued until the procession reached the
public square.
The escort from the depot to the pavilion
in the fouare consisted of the Oriental
Knights Templar of Cleveland, Holy Rood
Commandery of Cleveland, and Columbia
Commandery Knights Templar of Washing
ton. The dead President was a member of
Ihe latter Commandery. Besides these or
ganlzatlons there were the Cleveland City
Troops and several others. Four hundred
members of the State militia were
in attendance in the neighborhood of the
depot., acting principally as guards. The
crowd was very large, and extended for
two or three blocks In either direction from
the station. Perfect order prevailed, how
ever, everyone appearing to realize the
solemnity of the occasion. The immediate
members of the family took the first
carriages and were followed by
the members of the Cabinet. Ex President.
Haves occupied the carriage with
Secretary Windom, with whom b* walked
from the cars arm in arm. Cols Rockwell
and Swatm, old friends of the deceased
President, and who were constantly with
him throughout his illness, also occupied
one carriage. Dr. S. V. Boynton, the family
physician, accompanied some of the ladies
Mrs. Garfield did not go to the sauare,
but was driven at once to
the residence of Mr. Mason, whose
guet she will be whtle in the city. Colonel
T. Rockwell. Judge Advocate General
Swalm, C. O. Rockwell, Colonel Corbin,
Private Secretary Brown, the members of
the Cabinet, and Dr. Power, pastor of the
Christian Church of Washington, accom
panied the remains, as did the delegation
from Ohio.
The Congressional train arrived about
fifteen minutes after the funeral train, and
the joint Committees of the houses of Con
gress were promptly furnished with carriages
and driven with the procession to the public
square.
Mrs. Garfield bore the journey extremely
well, and still maintains the remarkable for
titude which she has exhibited since her
husband was wounded. Miss Mollie and
Master Harry also bear up under the sorrow
xtremely well. Dnring the time the fune
ral cortege was passing over the route from
the depot to the catafalque, which is situa
ted in the public square, there was little or
no confusion. While the broad streets were
literally packed with human beings, all
seemed to be in heartfelt sympathy with the
mourners, and quietness was observed by all
After the body nas been placed in the pub
lic square, the gates will be thrown open
and thousands of persons, now waiting to
view the casket and floral decorations, will
be permitted to pass through.
THE LINE or MARCH.
The car in which the casket was brought
was filled with flowers which almost hid the
coffin from sight. The coffin was wrapped in
a large flag and triple folds of pure crape.
Upon it were a few white flowera and some
large green leaves. It was borne from the
train by ten United States artillerymen, who
wore white helmets, and who with drawn
swords took their position beside the hearse.
As soon as the casket had been placed in
the hearse the beautiful black horses drew
it slowly down the avenue towards the file
of soldiers and Knights Templar who were
drawn up on the west side and faced east,
with heads reverently bowed. Slowly the
procession took up the march down the
avenue in the following order:
Colonel Wilson and staff. Silver Grey
Band, First City Troops, the hearse guarded
by Knights Templar in columns of three and
flanked by ten horsemen of the City Troop
on each side, the Cleveland Grays, 42d
Ohio Volunteers, the Cabinet, Gen. Sher
man and aids, Guards of Honor, composed
of sixty officers of the Army and Navy, and
dis'iDguished guests. As the column,
headed by three platoons of police, started
from Euclid Avenue station, the St. Paul
Church bell commenced tolling. Ot7*r
churches along the line followed and ad
ded to the solemnity of the march.
THE PAVILION.
Later —After the remains of the late
President arrived at Monumental Park, it
was decided not to throw the gates open to
the public to-day, inasmuch as arrange
ments are not complete. The pagilion will
be finished during the afternoon, however,
and the gates be opened to-morrow. The
pavilion is probably the finest temporary
structure of the kind ever erected. It was
designed by architect* Coburn and Bar
cum, and a large force have been at
work on It day and night since Juesday.
It Is located on the centre of the square, at
tbe lnteraectlon of Superior and Ontario
streets, and la forty feet square at tfce base.
Four fronts are spanned by arches thirty--
six feet high and twenty-four feet wide at
the bap. The catafalque upon which the
casket will rest is five and a half feet high,
covered with black velyet and handsomely
festooned. A long carpeted walk ascends
to the floor from the east and west fronts.
The pavilion is seventy-six feet high to the
apex of the roof. From the centre of the
root rises a beautiful gilt sphere
supporting the figure of an angel
six feet high. The columns at esch side of
the archeß are ornamented with shields of
beautiful design, and exquisitely draped
over these are suspended unfurled flags.
The centres of the arches bear similar
shields on angles. On the roof are groups
of unfurled flags Projecting from the an
gles of the base are elevated platforms to
be occupied by fully uniformed guards.
Each platform will be provided with a suit
able piece of field artillery. The structure
is appropriately decorated from base to
dome with black and white crape flowers,
and flags will be displayed in various por
tions of the pavilion.
The interior is beautiful with rare plants
and choice flowers and exquisite floral de
signs, two car loads of which are from Cin
cinnati. It is a magnificent piece of work
both in design and execution. The
east and west entrances to
Monumental Park are heavy
gothic arches with drives and openings for
foot passengers on each side. They are
situated a sufficient dietance from the cata
falque to appear as part of it. The eaat
end is covered with crape, with white and
black trimmings running round each
column and a top border with blue
and white stars. Added to these are
several golden shields, aud at the western
gateway is a similar construction,aDd seems
to fairly close up Superior street. On the
extreme outside pillars are the names of the
States in black letters. The north and
south approaches are in reality gateways,
being built with bas reliefs draped in white
with one large central arch and heavy posts
on either side. Surmounting all appear
large golden eagles and other appropriate
desiens.
The catafalque is a great temporary
monument of attraction. Standing with
its f >ur open arches, and surmounted
by its massive golden ball, its conm
bined gtandeur requires close scrutiny
to fully appreciate It. Resting on each of
its four corners is a cannon heavily draped.
Large black flags droop from each side
immediately beneath the cornice, and still
lower fall the national colors, with streamers
of crape alternating with bars of red and
white. The elegant shield, several feet in
length, composed of swords, is contpicu
ously displayed on octagon face* of four
sides. Half circling the arches are choice
ferns upon a white back ground arranged in
triangular shape, and heavy gold lining runs
round pillars. The interior is draped in plain
aud appropriate bands of rich black goods.
At the south ol the structure a large plat
form has been erected on a level with the
catafalque, on which will sit the eminent
visitors, ite *lergy and singing societies.
The catafalque is entered from the east and
west by an inclined platform covered with
matting. It is sufficiently wide to admit
the passage of not less than thirty persons
abreast.
During the forenoon wreaths of ever
greens were attached to the upper part of the
structure. Two car loads of ferns, leaves,
pl-nts. etc., came this morning from the
Cincinnati Exposition, also a car load from
parties in Philadelphia. The arches are
beautifully draped with a string of ever
greens.

cises will consist of

THE FINAL ARRANGEMENTS MADE
While on the train the escort committee
held a meeting and decided on the pall
bearers and the form of exercises
to be followed at the grave
on Monday. The plaus were
submitted to Mrs. Garfield and ap
proved by her. The pall bearers will be
distinguished by white silk at the fuuer
al ceremonies, which will begin at 10 a. m.
THE MIDNIGHT VIGIL.
As the evening passed yesterday there
was was but little dirainuation of the
throng that encircled Monument Square.
The east and west arches were
surrounded by people, who
gazed in upon the catafalque
aided by the glare of numerous
electric lights. Inside the pavilion were
six Knights Templar and a squad of the
Cleveland Grays on guard duty. At mid
night but a few sentinels and workmen
remained inside the guard line, though
many interested people were yet upon the
street outside. The scene was singularly
impressive. At this hour there was almost
perfect silence. The bright glare of the
lights, the ceaseless movements of the sen
tinels, the sobbing of the wind through the
trees and shrubbery, combined to create a
feeling of awe in the breasts of the spec
tators.
THE THRONG GATHERING.
To-day it baß been bright and beautiful,
though rather warm. The streets began to
be thronged very early. People poured
into the city by every avenue of approach,
and al! the railways ran every available car
to accommodate the unexampled crowd.
The vast concourse was allowed ?t.o pass
four abreast with uncovered heads and look
at the casket. It is estimated that not less
than 100,000 people passed through the
pavilion in this manner. At dark elec
tric and calcium lights illuminated the
scene, and the people will be allowed
to go through all night. The line of people
waiting their turn to enter the park stretch
ed wt st for about half a mile, at times
reaching nearly across the viaduct over the
river. Perfect order prevailed, everybody
being imbued with the solemnity of the oc
casion. The coffin was not opened,
it being the widow’s wish that
the face should not be ex-
Sosed on account of its unnatural look.
ut instead the visitors looked upon the
features of the dead depicted in an admira
ble portrait placed Just above. It is con
sidered that Cleveland will to-morrow have
the largest display of civic societies and
military organizations ever seen in this coun
try. No idea of the number of Comman
deries and their aggregate strength can
be formed by seeing them moving here and
there through the streets. This can only
be obtained by absolute knowledge of ail
who are here.
AMERICAN GRIEF IN LONDON.
London, September 24. —At a meeting of
Americans at Exeter Hall this afternoon, to
express their grief for the death of Presi
dent Garfield and condolence with his
family, among those present were the
American Minister, Mr. Lowell, in the chair.
Consul General Badeau, and the whole staff
of the American legation, Bishop Bimpson,
Colonel Cheseborough, General Merritt,
Moncure D. Conway, Vice Consul Nunn,
Rev. Dr. Channing, Mies Thornton, and
many members of the Japanese legation.
Cardinal Manning, the Duke of Cambridge,
Commander in-Chief of the forces, and Sir
Frederick Leighton, President of the Royal
Academy, called on Mr. Lowell to express
their condolence upon the death of Presi
dent Garfield. At $ o’cloek about two
hundred Americans assembled at the Ameri
can Exchange, and proceeded up the Strand
to Exeter Hall. By 3;30 o’clock large crowds
and numberless cabs and vehicles assembled
outside the hall. A majority of the shops in
the vicinity showed some signs of mourning.
Inside the hall was crammed with people,
who continued to arrive in a constant
stream. The stars and stripes over the or
gan wejre deeply craped. A striking fea
ture was the large proportion of ladles pres
ent. Everybody is in the deepest mourning.
The assemblage includes the representatives
of the press of New York, Boston, Cincin
nati, Philadelphia and St. Louis.
ADDRESS OF MINISTER LOWELL.
Mr. Lowell addressed the meeting amidst
impressive silence. He said:
“We meet to testify our respect for the
character and services of the late President,
and to offer such consolation as is possible
to the noble widow. To suffering such as
few women have ever been called upon to
suffer it seems paradox, but the only alle
viation of our grief is the sense of the great
ness acd costliness of the sacrifice that has
caused it. It is no exaggeration to say that
the recent profoundly touching spectacle of
womanly devotedness has Wqved tim heart
of mankind in a manner unprecedented.
To Americans everywhere it comes home
with a pang of mingled sorrow and pride,
and of unspeakable domestic tenderness,
that none but ourselves can feel. Yet you
will ai; agree that the feeling of universal
sympathy expressed here by all ejassps has
made us seusible as never before that
we are in a strange but not in
a foreign land; that we are at least
In what Hawthqrne calls ‘The Old Home.’
I should do injustice to your feelings, no
lassa than ujv own, if I should not offer
here ouf gratefql acknowledgments to the
august )&dy, who, herself not unacquainted
with grief, has shown repeatedly and
touchingly how a true woman's heart can
beat under the royal purple. [Tremendous
cheering ] Rhetoric relative to Presi
dent Garfield’s noble end is out
of tfie question. If we were allowed to
follow tne promptings of our own hearts
SAVANNAH, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1881.
we should sum it up in the sacred words,
‘Well done good and faithful servant.’
The death scene was unexampled. The
whole civilized* world gathered about
it. Let us thank God that it was through
the manliness, patience and religious forti
tude of the noble victim that the tie of
human brotherhood wa3 thrilled with that
touch of nature which makes the whole
world kin, the touch of heroism, sympathy
with which dignifies and ennobles.”
Mr. Lowtll dwelt on the good nature
which President Garfield displayed during
his illDess. ‘‘He seemed good natured
even when dying, and though there were
few from whom death wrenched a fairer
heritage, there were few who could, like
Garfield, die. well, dally, for eleven
weeks. The fibre that could stand such a
strain is only used in the making
of heroic natures. General Garfield twenty
years ago offered his life for his country.
He has now died for her as truly as if he
had fallen then. His blood has cemented
the fabric of the Union. His example is a
stimulus to his countrymen forever.”
He compared Gen. Garfield’s career to
that of Joseph. From a similar humble be
ginning he had died the tenant of an offiee
•eeond to none on earth. (Cheers) He
gave many pathetic instances of concern
felt everywhere for Gen. Garfield during his
Illness. Mr. Lowell concluded by saying:
“It would be improper to discuss the char
acter of him who is now the Chief Magis
trate, but there Is no Indecorum
in saying what is known to all, that he is a
gentleman of high intelligence aud of un
impeachable character and ability. I am
not a believer that a democratic more than
any other form of government will work of
itself, but in common with you I have im
perturbable faith in the honesty, intelli
gence and good sense of the American peo
ple and in the destiny of the American peo
ple.”
Resolutions deploring the great public
misfortune of death which plunged a na
tion in lasting sorrow, sympathizing with
ibe late President’s mother and widow, and
acknowledging the affectionate solicitude
of the Queen aDd the people of England,
were adopted in silence, with the audience
to their feet.
After eloquent speeches by ex Collector
Merritt of New Fork, Bishop Simpson,
Rev. Mr. Channing, Junius 8. Morgan and
Moncure D. Con way,the meeting adjourned.-
Durlcg the speech of Bishop Bimpson,
who made sympathetic reference to the
Queen, the whole audience rose to their
feet cheering with remarkablejenthusiasm,
amounting to a furore.
At the close of the meeting it was an
nounced that there would be funeral ser
vices by Dr. Parker at the City Temple on
Monday at noon. Many wept during the
speeches. The following were amongst
those present: The Spanish and
Brazilian Ministers, Belgian and Russian
Charges d’Affaires, Brazilian and Bel
gian Secretaries of Legation, military
attaches of the German Embassy, Mr. John
Bard, Mr. Nicholas Fish, late Minister to
Barna, Mr Sellgman, Mr. Thomas Hughes,
Rev. Mr. Fulton, Count of Montebello, the
Lady Mayoress, and Ex-Senator Miller, of
Georgia. The number of Southerners pres
ent was particularly noticed.
TUE GROWTH OF ENGLISH SYMPATHY.
At the close of the week the sympathy
elicited by the death of President Garfield
is rather increasing than otherwise, and the
movement in favor of some national sign of
mourning grows. The Times supports the
idea in a prominent paragraph. In many
churches, where harvest festivals
were to be held to-morrow, they
have been postponed in favor
of a special sermon on the calamity. It is
noticeable that the Mayor of Berkenhead,
who has written very feelingly on the sub
ject to Mr. Packard, the American Consul
at Liverpool, is Mr. Wm, Laird, whose
family is well known in connection with the
Confederate cruiser Alabama,
THE BISHOP OF LIVERPOOL
The Bishop of Liverpool, in his letter to
Mr. Packard, the American Consul, savs:
“If It, had been possible, I should huve felt
peculiar pleasure In publicly testifying my
very deep sympathy with your countrymen
under the heavy affliction which it has
pleased God to send them. Since rav ab
sence from home made my attendance at
the Town Hall meeting impossible, I ask
you to accept this expression of true sym
pathy, and to believe that none feels more
sincere Interest in everything affecting the
welfare of your nation than the Bishop of
Liverpool.”
THE WORLD’S MARVELOUS GRIEF.
President Arthur’s inauguration address,
on assuming the Presidency, is very favora
bly commented upon. The Times, summing
the events of the week, savs: “Such a spec
tacle as the mourning with which the whole
civilized world Is honoring the late Presi
dent Garfield has never been witnessed.
Emperors and Kings, Senates and Ministries
are in spirit his pall bearers. But their peo
ples, from the highest to the lowest, claim
to be t qually visible and audible as sorrow
ing assistants.”
It is to be noted as a proof of the latter
assertion of the Times that it was suggested
yesterday to Mr. Birtwistle, Secretary of the
Operative Cottou Spinners’ UnioD, that
there should be a cessation of work on Mon
day in the Lancashire mills, but he decided
that there would not be time to make
arrangements.

Washington, September 25.—1 tis rather
remarkable the singular connection that
the figure nine bore to every important
event in the life of the dead President. For
instance, he was born on the 19th of No
vember, died on the 19th of September, and
was in his 49th year at the time of his
death. He was promoted at the battle of
Chickamaugaon the 19th of September, was
a member of Congress for just twice nine
years, and was President one hundred and
ninety-nine days. From the day of his
election, November 2d, to the day of his
death, September 19th, is just three hun
dred and twenty-nine days.
Acting under instructions from the Secre
tary of the Treasury, the Acting Secretary
yesterday issued a call for twenty million
dollars of the continued bonds, coupled
with an offer to purchase two millions of
bonds Der week during the next five
weeks, making a total of thirty millions,
provided, of course, the two millions per
week are offered for sale. In case the gov
ernment cannot buy these bonds, a call will
be made during the latter part of next
month for the amount named —ten millions.
In addition to the above, a call for thirty
millions more will be made early in De
cember.
Having broken the ice and taken issue
with the advised policy of the national
banks, the government will, no doubt, issue
calls for the redemption of the continued
fives and sixes at regular intervals and up
to the full amount of the surplus revenues,
which are estimated to average upwards of
ten million dollars per month.
It was stated in these dispatches recently
that in case the Secretary of the Treasury
decided to call any of the continued bonds,
the banks having the bonds so called on de
posit to secure their circulation, would be
compelled to go into the market and pur
chase other bonds to replace them or retire
their circulation. It is understood that a
number of banks have recently intimated a
determination on their part to wind up
their business in case the Secretary called
In the bonds deposited by them to secure
their circulation. It remains to be seeD
whether this implied threat will be carried
out.
It is understood that among the first im
portant business to be attended to by Presi
dent Arthur is that of tbe star route cases.
The implicated parties are ready for trial,
and tbe President will insist that the Post
master General and the Attorney General
shall bring up the cases for trial at the earli
est practicable moment. The grand jury
will meet on the third of October. If the
good intentions of the President are carried
out, the evidence in the hands of the gov
ernment will be presented at onep.
The hostility of the New York Times and
Tribune to President Arthur has often been
a subject of discussion among politicians
and others in Washington and elsewhere.
Mr. Louis J. Jennings, the London corre
spondent of the New York World, in his
cable letter to-day,throws some light on the
subject so far as the Times is concerned,
and promises in a future letter to give more
derails. Mr. Jennings says: *
“When I began an attack upon the Tam
many ring, the first man to come forward
with encouragement and friendly counsel
was General Arthur. Throughout that con
test he was far more active in helping to
destroy the ring than some others upon
whom I bad a right to depend for support.
They often wavered and were disheartened,
but in General Arthur I found to the last an
unshaken ally. He incurred many personal
animosities by endeavoring to serve the
journal in the cause which I was conduct
ing, but nothing could turn him from wliat
he regarded as his duty.
“In many subsequent political complica
tions I always found him actuated by the
highest sense of honor, free from the slight
est taint or suspicion of political jobbery.
He never once asked the smallest favor for
himself, whether in or out of office. If, as
I have been informed, he has since been
assailed by the journal, which he
once so greatly assisted In
trying times in a thousand different ways,
I feel bound to assert that it is a most base,
ungrateful, ungenerous act, prompted by
personal malice, the causes of which could
be easily explained. When explained, it is
not Genera! Arthur who would suffer in tbe
estimation of the American people. Through
some years of anxiety and difficulty ia
public affairs, Id which it was my 1 t to
take no insignificant part, I knew him inti
mately, and a man of purer patriotism or a
loftier sense of honor I have never known in
this or any other country. Time will tri
umpbantly vindicate him from slanderous
attacks, whether in New York or in Lou
don.”
Mr. Jennings, it will be remembered, was
the editor of the Times during the war on
the Tweed riDg. He is, no doubt, able to
make a contribution to the hormony of the
Republican party.
Judge Settle, of Florida, i being pushed
very sharply bj his friends for a place
in President Arthur’s Cabinet. One of
the first men of the present Cabinet
who will have to go is Secretary
Hunt, of the Navy. Hunt and Arthur
are not on good terms. About five months
ago Arthur went to Huut with the re
quest for a detail to be made in the case
of a certain naval officer, who is a friend of
Arthur’s. Hunt refused and treated the
Vice-President very bnuquelv and rudely.
Judge Wylie, of the Supreme Court of
the District, say that in tbe confusion of
Federal and common law he does not see
how Guiteau can be tried for other than an
assault. He does not think it possible to
get a jury and safely conduct a trial of the
assassin. He thinks the people will, in the
end, deal with the assassin without trial.
The whole matter of Guireau’s punishment
is so mixed that no lawyer will attempt to
give a clear statement of the case. They
unite, however, in the opinion that he can
never, under the conflicting laws, be tried
for murder.
senator lamar’s views.
Mobile, September 24.—Senator Lamar
was interviewed by a reporter, and said:
“I cannot say that I anticipate a conserva
tive administration under President Arthur,
at least I am allowed to judge by his
present antecedents. He has hitherto
acted, if not under the inspiration of
Mr. Conkling, in closest sympathy
and co-orperation with the views of 'he Sen
ator from New York. There is nevertheless
everything in the surrounding conditions of
his accession to power to promote a depart
ure from what would have been his original
policy, and he cannot possibly pursue a
very stalwart one and one of
reaction against the conservative methods
instituted by Mr. Hayes aud followed by
Mr. Garfield, without coming into direct
conflict with the rulings and tendencies of
the times.’?
The New York Stock market.
New Yokr, September 24—Government

nominal. Railroad bonds irregular and in
moderate volume of business. The stock
matked opened weak and generally a

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Locomotive Rune Into a Hand Car,
Killing Four men and Injuring
Two Other*.
Pittsburg, September 24.—A Chronicle
special from Beaver Falls, Pa., says: “A
train containing journalists going to Cleve
land via the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Kail
road ran into a hand car on Beaver Run
Bridge, about 8 o’clock this morning, kill
ing four men outright and injuring two
others, one of whom will die.
The men were carpenters work
ing on the railroad bridge
at Beaver Falls, and were on their way to
work. One of the men on the hand car
fell on the track and his head was severed
from his body. Another was tom to pieces,
his remains being scattered all over the
front of the locomotive, and three others
were dashed on the track below, a distance
of fifty feet, two being Instantly killed,
and the other so severely injured that he
cannot recover. The sixth had his leg in
jured, and the seventh man escaped un
hurt. The train was immedlatedly stopped,
and Doctors Smith, Townsend and Ford,
of Washington, who were on the train,
rendered all medical aid possible to the
injured men.”
THE SILENT MAN AT THE
FUNERAL.
What the Whirligig ol Time Brings
Around—The President and Gene
ral Grant.
A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says: “Ex-Presidents Grant and Hayes,
who sat on one sofa to themselves, were
almost as much the objects of curiosity as
was President Arthur. General Grant
seems to be growing stouter and heavier
and more 6tolid-looking than ever. During
the whole, time occupied by the services he
never moved a muscle of his face, and
looked straightforward into vacancy. No
one could tell really thoughts
were upon the sad and solemn scene enact
ing under his eyes, or of things afar off.
Mr. Hayes seems to be a trifle more florid
than when he left Washington, and gives
evidence of feeling somewhat the lack of
attention which appears to be shown him.
Many persons of those who knew General
Grant when he was President have taken
pains to go up and speak to him,
but scarcely any one has taken the
trouble to do this with Mr. Haves.
President Arthur, with Secretary Blaine,
also sat on a sofa by themselves diagonally
opposite to the one occupied by Generals
Grant and Hayes. His fine open coun
tenance bore a dignified and sorrowful ex
pression, which was made quite perceptible
to all, a3 his eyes were not cast down at
any time, although once or twice he shield
ed them with his hat. His demeanor
throughout was such as to commend itself
to all. Secretary Blaine showed most plain
ly the depression which he feels. He scarce
ly seemed to have energy enough left in him
to take the least interest in anything, and
most of the time his head was resting on his
hands and his eyes were closed. In entering
and departing from the rotunda the con
trast between him and President Arthur,
who had his arm, was very marked. The
President, with head and form firmly erect,
towered several inches above the Secretary
of Btate, whose head was buried almost in
his breast.
“Two of those present to-day have bad
peculiar thoughts as they gazed at the new
President. These were Mr. Hayes and Sena
tor Sherman, for it is primarily by reason of
their action that General Arthur is to-day
the President of the United Btates. Had
they not removed him as Collector of the
port of New York he would never have
been dreamed of in connection with the
nomination for Vice-President at Chicago.
Sena'or Sherman’s face showed that his
thoughts were not pleasant ones.
“Just before the religious services com
menced a bat flew in the rotunda and cir
cled around, up and down, for an hour or
so, at times descending so low as If to alight
on the coffin. When, after the conclusion
of the services, the procession was about to
form on the broad plateau of the eastern
front of the capitoi, the scene was most
Striking, and one not soon to be forgotten
by those who witnessed it. On the broad
steps of the rotunda entrance stood the
President, the two ex Presidents, the Chief
Justice and Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court, the Cabi
net, Senators, members of the
Diplomatic Corps, and many high in politi
cal ami social life. Their plain black attire
was relieved by the white dresses of the
many ladles of high social position who
were present. The broad steps of both
the Senate and the House wings were cov
ered with persons of both sexes, many of
them aiso of prominence. The plateau be
yond was packed with a dense mass of hu
man beings, reaching as far out as the ele
vated slab in the park upon which rests the
colossal statue of George Washington, and
as it, towered above that man, with the up
lifted finger pointed over all, the effect was
very Impressive. A vacant space for those
who were to form part of the procession
was kept clear from the steps of the rotunda
to the spot where stood the hearse, with its
six white horses, and around which stood
the guard of honor in their glittering uni
forms, a gnard composed of the most dis
tinguished defenders of the republic on
land and sea. Back of the hearse the long
extended lines of military stood, with the
bands playing their solemn requiems.
“Just as the funeral train was starting
from the depot a light shower came, but it
was soon over, and as the train glided alortg
in full view of the sooth front of the capi
toi a beautiful rainbow spanned the horizon
Immediately over that buildiDg.
“The evtdeßt partiality of the new Presi
dent for Gen. Grant was shown by his leav
ing the depot in his company after the de
parture of the funeral train, selecting him
from among a dozen others of his compan
ions. It seems to be the general impression
that in a short time Gen. Grant w'lll be in
the Cabinet. Common' rumor assigns the
Secretaryship of State to him, but it is more
likely, if he goes into the Cabinet at all,
that It will be as Secretary of War.
“Four of the members of the Cabinet,
who now have the prospect of retiring to
private life, will very naturally regret how
they did not hold on to the positions which
they held on the 4th of March. Three of
them left the Senate—Blaine, Windom and
Kirkwood—where each had a good prospect
of remaining for an almost indefinite period,
and another, Hunt, resigned a life position
on the bench of the Court of Claims.”

THE DEVELOPMENTS OF THE
AUTOPSY.
The Location at the Ball—The In
jury to ihe Spine—The Wound Ne
cessarily a Fatal One.
Dr. Reybum states in answer to inquiries
in regard to the autopsy that the location of
the ball was a complete surprise to every
body, but it explained come things that
heretofore had been inexplicable, as, for
instance, the pains in the feet. From the
first, the surgeons supposed that the spine
had been injured, but they were afterward
misled by what now proves to have been a
pus channel. The bullet, after striking and
fracturing the rib, glanced,backward and to
ward the left, passing through the spinal col
umn,and lodged back of the peritoneum. The
ball, he save, could not have been found by
probing immediately after the shooting. In
the first place, it would have been bad
surgery to have made such an examination.
When a ball passes into the body, and is
evidently deeply imbedded, it is the safest
and wisest plan to await the formation of
pus, which in the course to the surface will
give a clear channel to the ball. It would
have been impossible to have followed the
actual course of the ball with any instru
ment we might have introduced; It would
have struck the bone of the spine, and that
Is as far as we could have gotten.
The suppurating channel was first discov
ered when the second incision was made.
Prior to that an accumulation of pus had
been noted, and the first incision was made
to relieve that. It was found, however, that
this did not obviate the difficulty, and when
it was found that this canal was penetrable
farther and in a downward direction the
second operation was made by cutting into
the channel below the wound and then
straightening the canal. This canal was be
lieved to have been the course of the
bullet. Dr. Hamilton once, in examin
ing this canal, thought he felt
the ball, but the bard substance
he touched was nothing but a glutinated
lump of pus. The wound was necessarily
a fatal one. It was only a question of time.
By the merest accident the ball passed
through the spinal column without injuring
the spinal chord. As it was, he suffered
more than words can express; but had be
had the strength to continue in life for any
considerable length of time the inflamma
tion would ultimately have spread over the
chord and paralyaed him completely below
that point, and he might have lingered for
some time in that condition —one-half of
him alive, the other half practically dead.
Mr. Walter F. McCune, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
writes: “My age is 28 years. I was born
with an excellent constitution, but at the
age of 19, having just finished my collegiate
education, I fell into habits of dissipation.
After six years of fast living I felt my con
stitution broken down. I put myself under
the care of one of our best physicians. His
treatment seemed to do me no good. Finally
he said at best 1 could live but a few years;
that my bowels, kidneys and lungs were all
threatened with consumption, and were fast
wasting awav in certain decay. I tried
everything advertised, hoping to gain relief.
Finally I drifted into a state of melancholy
and hopeless despair, suffering excruciat
ingly from dyspepsia, short breath, and uri
nary catarrh. A year ago I saw Brown’s
Iron Bitters advertised. I used them, and
they acted like a charm. I soon began to
enjoy dreamless slumber, and now I feel
myself a man once more, and have gained
fifty-four pounds since using the remedy.
I feel very strong, and can hold out a 45-
pound weight. Brown’s Iron Bitters saved
my life.”
