ON TO RICHMOND!
REMAINS OF EX-PRESIDENT
DAVIS TRANSFERRED
From New Orleans to Yirpia’s
Historic Capitol.
LOVING TRIBUTE PAID THE OLD
HERO BY THE SOUTHLAND.
Impressive Ceremonies at Places Along
the Route of the Funeral Train.
With the dignified simplicity that
was inseparable from his life, with
none of the fuss of military or civic
display, the remains of the ex-presi
dent of the southern confederacy were
removed Saturday afternoon from the
vault in Metaire cemetery at New Or
leans, where they have had a tempo
rarary resting place for three years
and a half, to the hall where they were
to lie in state until their transfer to
the funeral train which was to bear
them to the beautiful and quiet pre
cincts of Hollywood cemetery, Rich
mond, where so many of the stirring
incidents of Mr. Davis’s eventful life
had their being.
The strangers in New Orleans may
have felt that the city was lacking in
the respect due to the memory of him
who was the leader of the cause for
which it poured out so much of its
precious blood more than a quarter of
a century ago. The crowd who watch
ed the little cortege with its grey at
tendants moving slowly through the
streets of the city were made up only
of those who stopped in the walks or
gathered on the sidewalks to watch it
go by.
THERE WAS NO DEMONSTRATION.
There was no booming of cannons,
no glistening bayonets in the parade,
no brass buttons, save those of the
handful of veterans that formed the
escort from the grave to the hall—no
dirgeful music—no display of any
kind. But the absence of an imposing
procession and moving multitude was
the mute respect of a patriotic people,
restrained from outward show by the
simple request of the old soldiers who
had the arrangements in charge.
FROM THE ODD TO THE NEW CASKET.
The transfer of the remains from the
old to the new casket was made Satur
day morning before the city was yet
fully astir. Only a small and select
gathering were present to witness the
solemn ceremony. Comrades Smith,
Thomas Higgins and L. A. Adams
were present to represent the army of
Northern Virginia, to whose charge the
remains were entrusted and who
have gitarded them ever since
the afternoon upon which they
were consigned to the grave.
Mr. E. H. Farrar, who is related by
marriage to Mr. Davis, was on hand to
represent the family. Beyond these
there were no others, save the sexton
and the undertaker and his assistants.
Mr. Davis was enterred in a cedar cas
ket, richly covered with black silk
plush. The body was laid in a metal
lic case inside the cedar covering.
Sexton Sholz took from the vault the
black marble plate; the old casket was
removed and the metatlic casket lifted
out into the handsome new casket.
The new receptacle is what is known
as a state casket and is used on special
occasions. It is made of an antique
oak richly polished and chastely and
beautifully carved, and is massive in
size. The handles are made of heavy
brass and on the cover is simple brass
plate. Identical with the plate, on the
old casket bearing the unostentatious
insertion:
JEFFEESON DAVIS,
At Eest, December 6, 1889.
The old casket was replaced in the
vault where it will remain as long as
the tomb of the Army of Northern
Virginia stands, marked with the black
tablet that contains on its face, in gilt
recessed letters, a fac simile of
the autograph of Mr. Davis and
the dates of his birth and death.
The new casket stood in the cham
ber of the tomb nearly all day.
Shortly after 3 o’clock, a guard of
sixteen, in uniforms of confederate
gray, mounted, slowly rode down the
shaded avenue, leading to the tomb of
the Army of Northern Virginia. With
heads reverently uncovered, the casket
was borne up from the vault to the
waiting hearse, in which it was care
fully placed. It was simply an ordi
nary hearse, severely plain in keeping
with the general order of the ceremony
and drawn by a twain of handsome
black horses.
When the doors had been closed, the
guards remounted, and, flanking the
hearse, the procession slowly started
toward the city. The guard was com
posed of sixteen men, all veterans of
the war. . A delegation from the Davis
Monument Association, of Eichmond,
reached the cemetery just before the
cortege took up its measured march to
the city, and stood with uncovered
heads as the veterans guarding the
hearse passed out of the burial ground.
The journey to the city from the cem
etery was remarkable for the lack of
incidents. There was no demonstration
and it was a slow and uneventful march
to the hall.
The veteran guards scattered about the
small but historic ball, removed their
gTay slouch hats as the casket was borne
in and revently placed upon the cata
falque of antique oak that matched
the receptacle of the remains. When
the coffin had been tenderly laid down
several beatiful floral pieces were rang
ed about it. The floral tributes came
from the veteran organizations and
the Ladies’ Confederate Association.
HIS OLD FLAG.
A flag that came all the way from
Texas for the purpose, was placed upon
the casket. It had been presented to
the Mississppi regiment that Colonel
Davis commanded in the Mexican war
and was the handiwork and gift of the
ladies of Natchez. It is a silk flag of
the nnion; the red and white stripes
now faded in a common yellow, and it
was borne at the head of the gallant
regiment through all the fierce battles
that proved the fall of Mexico’s capi
tol and the end of the Mexican war.
A guard ©f honor, representing the
various camps of the city and state,
were placed around the casket and the
general public were permitted to pass
around the casket and pay their re
spects to the dead. The body was
naturally decomposed, but was in fair
preservation and the face recognizable.
The guards were relieved at intervals
during the night and Sunday morn
ing.
SUNDAY’S CEREMONIES.
The ceremonies Sunday were just a
trifle more important than they were
Saturdaybnt were marked by an absence
of enthusiasm and were as simple as
the funeral of an humble citizen. All
Saturday night a faithful guard of
honor restlessly paced the polished
floors of Memorial hall beside the bier
of the dead president of a departed
nation. Now and then during the
quiet of the night a belated pedestrian
timidly made his way into the hall and
gazed respectfully at the rich old oaken
casket, and then quietly slipped out.
These visits were few and far between
and they only served to vary the mo
notony about the historical building.
When day broke, however, the scene
changed and a slender stream of hu
manity began to wind in and out of
the hall, nlade up of every character of
life, rich and poor, white and black,
statesman and citizens, the blue and
gray.
It was half-past 4 o’clock Sunday
afternoon when the stream of visitors
was checked. Only the gray-haired
and gray-clad veterans who formed the
guard and escort, public officials, dis
tinguished visitors, the Davis family
and those who had the right to be
present remained in the hall when the
ceremonies were about to begin. The
narrow limits of the little building was
not capable for much of a crowd, and
many were denied the privilege of
participating in the services around
the bier. Governor Foster entered the
hall leaning on the arm of
General Stephen D. Lee, and
behind came Lieutenant Governor
Parlange and leading lights in the
ranks of the veterans. They gathered
on the platform, mingling with the
Richmond committee, who wore the
confederate uniform in honor of the
occasion. In a few minutes there was
a parting of the ranks of the throng
in the hall, and Miss Winnie Davis,
leaning on the arm of Mr. Ambrose
McGinnis, and followed by her sister,
Mrs. Hayes, and the husband of the
latter, passed up to the platform.
Then the ceremonies began. Governor
Foster stepped forward beneath an
arch of shrubbery, and in a strong,
clear voice delivered a touching and
beautiful tribute to the dead hero of
the confederacy in behalf of Louis
iana.
When the governor had finished his
address, which was listened to with
profound attention, Vice President Gil
more, of the army of Northern Vir
ginia, read the order of Mrs. Davis for
the removai .of the body and the letter
of Mayor Ellyson requesting the army
of Northern Virginia to deliver the
body to Generai Glynn. These letters
were here made public for the first
time.
Then Eev. A. Gordon Blakewell,
who had served all through the four
years of bitter war, and who wore a
confederate chaplain’s hat, came for
ward and led the audience in a fervid
prayer. When the prayer was con
cluded sturdy veterans raised the cas
ket from its resting place and bore it
out of the hall and down the stairs to
the funeral car in waiting amid the
strains of dirgeful music.
THE FUNERAL CAB.
The funeral car was the same as
used on the day of the funeral of Mr.
Davis in New Orleans. An immense
throng gathered about the funeral car
as the body was borne up the steps of
an improvised platform covered with
black and carefully lifted through one
of the windows to a large catafalque
draped in heavy folds of black. The
car was built especiallly for this pur
pose and the superstructure is almost
entirely of glass so that the casket
will be visible as the train rushes
across the southland to the historic
Virginia capital. The floral offerings
were placed at the head of the casket
and they too, will be visible through
the trip. A guard of honor was select
ed from the escort and was immediate
ly put upon duty and the public was
permitted to pay its respects and to
take a last fond farewell of the remains.
The procession reached the train at 6
o’clock p. m. and it was nearly eight
before the party got under way. The
train was made up of a locomotive
and tender, baggage car, an ordinary
coach, the funeral car, four sleepers
and a private car.
A large escort of honor, compris
ing civil and military officers accom
panied the remains to the depot.
As the funeral train pulled out of
New Orleans crowds appeared at every
street corner on both sides of the track
until the cor: prt.te limits were passed.
At every station crowds assembled,
gray headed old soldiers and ladies
and children with flowers being prom
inent features.
AT DAVIS’S OLD HOME.
At Beauvoir, Mr. Davis’s old home,
the track and station platform had
been carpeted with most beautiful and
fragrant snow-white rhododendrons.
The little children of Beauvoir thus
paid their tribute to the memory of
one whose declining years had been
passed at that place. It had been ex
pected that the escort would have time
to visit Davis’s residence, but the stay
was too short for this purpose. Sev
eral large tributes were at Beauvoir
laid upon the bier.
At Scranton, Miss., Major General
Whiting and staff had their car at
tached to the train, and the special
bearing Governor Jones and staff join
ed the Davis train. The run over
from New Orleans was a quick one.
AT MOBILE.
At Mobile the Semmes camp of Con
federate veterans was drawn up on the
platform with the camp flag floating
in the breeze, while a battery of Ala
bama state artillery fired a salute of
twenty guns. There was a great crowd
there to welcome the train and view
the casket. The train pulled out for
Montgomery at 12:20 a. m. Monday
morning.
AT GREENVILLE, ALA.
Greenville, Ala., was the first sta
tion reached after daybreak, and de
spite the early hour, 6 a. m., quite a
concourse assembled and gazed with
the usual intense interest everywhere
manifested at the funeral car. By this
time tho massive oak casket was
almost undiscernible under the
mass of flowers heaped .ipon it and
surrounding it, and of ev.°ry variety
of design, from the most elaborate and
costly to the simple bouquet.
AT MONTGOMERY.
Just as the gray hour of dawn made
silver of the waters of the Alabama
river the train rolled into the gates of
Montgomery, the ‘ ‘cradle of the con
federacy.” The depot is immediately
upon the brink of the beautiful river,
and the train came to a stop just be
side the cool, clear, murmuring waters.
It was saluted by the roar of artillery.
It did not take long to awake the
sleepy watchers in the funeral car with
such a demonstration as Montgomery
gave. Governor Jones was at the train
when it arrived. At 8 o’clock a very
unwelcome rainstorm burst over the
city, which lasted an hour, very much
delaying the parade. But the people
were in the streets, just the same. It
did seem that every living soul in
Montgomery and for miles around was
there to render honor by their pres
ence to Davis.
When finally the rain held up and
the sun peeped out from behind the
clouds to beam God’s benediction upon
such patriotic devotion, the casket was
taken from the funeral car and placed
upon the caisson arranged for its re
ception, and the procession started.
Ahead of the procession went the
mounted police, then the governor and
his staff, next the brass band, next the
caisson and then the military, the Ca
dets from Auburn college following
first behind the caisson. Hundreds of
soldiers tramped on in the parade.
The procession was watched by thou
sands of men, women and children
from the windows and sidewalks of the
city. The parade was the handsomest
ever witnessed in the city of Montgom
ery unless it were when Davis went
there to be made president of the south
ern confederacy.
When the procession reached the
statehouse, which is the historic birth
place of the confederacy, there was a
long halt for the thronging multitude
until the military guard of the day
escorted the casket into the capitol
and placed it in the hall of the supreme
court. The path of the pallbearers
was right over the same spot in the
great portico where Mr. Davis stood
February 18, 1861, and took the oath
of office as president of the southern
confederacy. It was a moment
of excitement, for there were many
aged citizes there who saw him stand
there that day.
Fully five thousand people visited
the hall where Davis lay within the
two hours allowed by the authorities
in charge of the train. Meantime,
the hill-tops fairly shook like a mighty
volcano with the roar of cannon. But
the most touching and, surely, the
most interesting of the entire scenes
about the bier of Davis was the pres
ence of so many colored people. It
seemed that every old cotton planta
tion in the valley of the Alabama river
had emptied its negro laborers into
Montgomery, and they pushed their
way to the front as eagerly as any class
of citizens.
A GEORGIA FLAG.
The battle torn banner of the Thirty
second Georgia was placed on the cas
ket while it lay in state at Montgomery.
The flag of the Sixty-fourth Alabama
was also thrown over the coffin, and
the old flag that Davis took to Mexico
with him at the head of the gallant
Mississippians. These old relics of
war times made the ceremonies take on
additional solemnity.
Just before the train pulled out
from Montgomery for Atlanta hun
dreds of fair women and school girls
came down to pay their respects to
Miss Winnie Davis.
After leaving Montgomery, the fu
neral train somewhat delayed, dashed
forth across the smiling valleys of the
“land of rest” at the rate of fifty miles
an hour. At Opelika a great concourse
of people stood ready to greet the
train. An old battle flag was waved
in salute and a great green arch at the
depot was inscribed with “He is not
dead.” At West Point another grand
demonstration awaited the train. It
was at West Point that Governor Nor
then and his staff boarded the train.
They were received by Governor Jones,
of Alabama, and were soon introduced
to all members of the Louisiana es
cort. The train did not stop at any
other stations.
ATLANTA’S TRIBUTE.
The funeral train reached Atlanta at
4:30 o’clock Monday afternoon. As
early as 2 o’clock the crowds began to
gather at the Union depot and along
the route of the procession. Five
thousand persons were standing on the
streets in and around the depot. The
died was surrounded by a great mass of
surging people. These were divided
between two impulses. They wanted
to see the casket and they were anxious
to catch a glimpse of Miss Winnie.
When the train came to a stand-still
Governor Nor then and his staff and
Governor Jones, of Alabama, and his
staff stepped from the coaches. Gen
eral John B. Gordon and Major Sid
ney Boot passed along looking for the
coach bearing Miss Winnie. In a mo
ment she and her sister, Mrs. Hayes,
appeared. As they stepped down, the
general kissed Mrs. Hayes, and the
daughter of the confederacy, her eyes
half swimming with tears, kissed the
gallant old soldier twice.
The meeting was so filled with ten
der affection that the few who were
standing by felt their hearts go out to
the two children of the dead president as
never before.
The Confederate Veterans’ Associa
tion had charge of the removal of the
casket. General Clement A. Evans
directed the removal of the casket
from the car to the caisson, drawn by
six iron-gray horses. Several minutes
passed in making the transfer and get
ting the procession formed.
The procession was more than an
hour passing a given point, and was
one of the largest ever seen in Atlanta.
All along the line of march from the
depot to the capitol the streets were
fringed with the eager crowds. Men,
women and children, all of them eager
to see the procession and to catch a
glimpse of the casket.
There were, perhaps, as many as
two hundred carriages in line. They
were occupied by Senators Gordon and
Colquitt, Governor Northen and his
staff, Governor Jones, of Alabama; the
mayor and city council, ministers and
prominent officials, the members of
the Davis family and citizens gener
aHbr.
When the procession reached the
capitol the casket was placed upon the
catafalque which had been erected for
its reception, and which was covered
with a lavish profusion of flowers.
Hardly had the guard of honor stepped
back when the people pressed forward
to pass by the bier and on through the
capitol. The military came first, all
of the companies with the guns at a
trail arms. Following the uniformed
militia came the grizzled old confed
erate veterans, some with an arm miss
ing, others minus a leg, and many
limping, but all of them were unable
to conceal the emotion which was only
too plainly visible on their features.
One old veteran with one arm missing
leaned over and pressing his lips
against the polished cover of the cas
ket kissed the covering that held his
beloved chief concealed from view.
Most of the veterans were content with
being allowed to touch the casket.
More than forty thousand people
yiewed the casket while the remains
were lying in state at the capitol. At
one time, while the crowd was passing
slowly through the capitol, the pressure
at the Washington street doors became
too strong for the guards and they
were swept aside. Finally a squad of
policemen armed with Winchesters ar
rived upon the scene and succeeded in
maintaining order.
THE DAUGHTERS RECEIVE.
While the sisters were at the Kim
ball, whither they had repaired for si
brief rest, many ladies called there and
were cordially received. Shortly af
ter 5 o’clock General Gordon, Colonel
Ellyson and others accompanied the
ladies on a drive, which they enjoyed
very much.
THE DEPARTURE.
It was getting dark when the casket
was carried out of the capitol and re
placed on the caisson. The return to
the union depot was direct, the guard
of honor acting as escort. A bugle
sounded taps as the train rolled out
into the darkness, bound for Vir
ginia’s capital.
An immense crowd was in waiting at
Gainesville for the train. All the bells
in the city were tolled, and when it
arrived a great shout went up from
the waiting hundreds. The train made
a halt of only five minutes.
OVER IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Seneca, South 'Carolina, was the
first place passed over the Georgia line,
and although it Avas midnight when
the train sped through a great croAvd
was there to testify their love for the
dead hero by volleys of musketry and
booming of cannon.
Greenville was reached at tAvo o’clock
Tuesday morning. Two companies of
soldiers were there, behind them be
ing fully a thousand people, half
ladies and children.
At every town along the way people
were up and at nearly every South
Carolina town salutes were fired.
Governor Tillman boarded the train at
Greenville to go on to Richmond,
INTO NORTH CAROLINA.
Charlotte was reached at half past
five and a thousand people were there
to greet the illustrious dead and the
loved daughter of the Confederacy
Avith booming guns. Miss Winnie re
ceived quite an ovation at Salisbury
where she held an informal reception,
and at Greensboro the entire party on
th<e train was tendered a breakfast by
the veterans and citizens.
At Charlotte the Hornet’s Nest Ri
fles and Queen City Rifles fired three
volleys as the train drew in. A body
of Confederate Veterans was drawn up
in front of the line, with battle flag
furled and draped in crape.
By this time the funeral car Avas
loaded Avith flowers. They were heap
ed and piled at the head of the casket
for four feet out, and on the side had to
be arranged to alloAv passage.
AT RALEIGH.
Raleigh was reached a few minutes
after 1 o’clock, and it seemed as if the
whole of the city’s population had
turned out to do honor to the distin
guished dead. The mayor of Raleigh
and the adjutant general of the state
received the train at the depot and
welcomed the escort. The casket was
placed upon the funeral car. This w'as
an elaborate affair. A caisson fitted
with a platform, above which, sup
ported on four pillars, was a dome
shaped canopy. The whole structure
was covered with black cloth trimmed
with white fringe, and at each corner
of the platform below the casket sat
a bright-faced, golden-haired girl,
dressed in white and holding in her
hand a confederate flag, its folds gath
ered up with crepe. Six black horses
drew the car, driven by James Jones,
formerly a servant of the Divis family.
The exercises at the capitol were
deeply impressive. A choir of seventy
five voices sang Pleyel’s hymn, “How
Sleep the Brave.” Chaplain Marshall
offered prayer, and the choir sang
O’Hara’s stirring ode. As the casket
was placed npon the catafalque under
the great dome of the rotunda a quar
tet choir standing above sang “Asleep
in Jesus” in a remarkably impressive
manner. This ended, the doors were
opened and a steady stream of people
flowed through the building for nearly
two honrs.
It was 3 :30 o’clock when the casket
was taken from the capitol to the sta
tion, escorted as before. On the de
parture from the capitol a chant and
ode were sung by a choir. On the ar
rival at the station Miss Davis • and
Mrs. Hayes gave several hundreds of
persons the pleasure of hand clasps
and kind words as they stood on the
platform of their car. A private car,
containing Governor Carr and staff
was attached to the train, which left at
3:45.
OX TO DANVILLE.
When the cortege left Raleigh the
train retraced its course to Greensboro
and thence to Danville, a change in
the original programme having been
made to allow a brief stop in that city.
Reidsville was reached next, the last
stopping point in North Carolina. Two
thousand people were assembled. Two
extra cars were added to the train,one
for Governor McKinney and his staff
and one for the Richmond Light In
fantry Blues, who came on as an hon
orary escort. Fully six thousand peo
ple were at the station, and a proces
sion was formed, headed by the gov
ernor and staff. After leaving Dan
ville Miss Winnie, accompanied by her
sister and others, visited the funeral
car, where they closely inspected the
floral tributes. Miss Davis broke
down and hurriedly turned away.

For Cleaning Marble*
Common dry salt is said to be one
of the best agents for cleaning marble,
such as Avashbasins, sink fixtures and
the like. It requsres no preparatian,
and may be rubbed directly upon the
tarnished surface, removing any in
crustations or deposits at once, leav
ing the marble shining and clean.
This is well worthy of rememdrance,
as it is often found to be provokingly
hard to clean the marble thoroughly
without injuring the surface.
To make a room artistic in effect,
the first thing to do is to cover the
white walls. If painting or kalsomin
ing or papering is impossible, then
hang the wall with sateen or silesia. A
wooden molding can be put up at a dis
tance from the ceiling varying from six
to sixteen inches. Brass rings sewed
to the material will make it possible to
put up and take doAvn this Avail drap

placed on the Avooden molding.
