Murray at 1 o'clock this morning was in
command of men and affairs at the City
Hall. At that hour the iron gates were
about to be closed, when he obseryed that
there were 600 or 1,000 people waiting at the
loot of the steps and across the plaza.
“Let them come In,” commanded the su
perintendent to the officers, who, at the
command, had shut oil the people. Then
followed ten minntes of the most expedi
tions hustling of human beings that has
beeianown since the emancipation ptoc-
lamaffon. The material was composed al
most entirely of men, and the trusty police
men supplemented their admonitions of
haste with exceedingly effective persuasion
of a muscular character. Men and boys
were shot through the City Hall with such
celerity aa will render the occasion to them
doubly memorable. The last person had
at last crorsed the well worn threshold,
and the Iron gates were then ehnt. The
public had taken its leave of the dead Gen
eral. The officers of the Btventy.Brat
Regiment were on duty, and the
usual detail of watchmen was present as
the Immediate body guard, while the Loy
al Legion was represented by one of its
members, who stood at the head of the
caskeL One of the Wheeler Post, of Sara'

None bnt police and all night reporters
were present, when the underta
charge of the remains. “Any one here
who now desires to view the remains will
step forward at once," said th* uoderta
ker, and bis voice re-echoed in the dark,
still corridors. All present passed by the
casket, and the lying In state of the ex-
President had ended. Undertaker Mer
ritt then brushed the glass plates
above the body and drew from their places
the two lids which cover the casket, the
four screws In each were turned down and

unless there shall In future come from the
family a request to remove the lids. Then
the dead was left In care of all the guards
who stood erect and silently within the
closed gates and beneath the black drag
logs. Night wore on and the gray of day
light was creeping up in the east. The
still air of the tomb-like corridor Is becom
ing heavy with the perfume of withering
flowers. Near the dead soldier a huge
piece, “Gate* Ajar,” bad been placed, and
the sweet smell of lilies was born down to
those who were on the watch. Great horse
shoes of red and yellow rosebuds added
their fragrance and cross and crowns from
Major F. C. Latrobe, of Haltimore, rent
ont their quota to the heavy perfnme that
settled on the sepulchral air, bnt there was
one tribute that bore no fragrance, exc<

was a plain

Near son rise strains of made, slow and
sad, were heard, then the bine coated vet
erans ol Meade Post, of Philadelphia, fifty
strong, esme tramping to dirge music of
trompets. The veterans entered the plaza
and marched by, while mntlled drams
timed their footsteps, heavy Runs boomed
ont towards the sea, the chimes of old
Trinity pealed mournful note? and the
sound of muffled drums grew fsint and
died out. It was sun rise, a row day was
born-the last dsy for the dead iipcnesrlh
before the tomb should have opened to
shelter him. Six o'clock and Wilson Post,
ot Baltimore, marched by with the Chicago
organization. The corridors bed been
picketed by fifteen policemen, while out,
side 126 more men were at rest under com
mami ot two sergeants. The last guard of
the Grant I’oat of the Grand Armyofthe
Republic, save the thirteen who will at
tend the body to the tomb, had been
mounted at 6 o'clock.

Then came the original guards of honor

Into the corridor of the city ball. These
took their places beside the remain. At

an iuroanro vcnrral cab,
drawn by 21 jet-black horses in black
trappings, hailed outlie p'aza directly in
front ot the city hall ateps. Inside the
corridors Commander Johnson was wait
ing. "Columns at position, right and
kit," was his command. The veteran
guards ot honor took position. "Lilt the
remains," was the next command, in clear
bnt low tones. The twelve men stooped
to the silver rails with gloved hands and
the match was begun. The body moved
ont upon the portico with the remains,

across the opening to the steps of the black

stepped aside. The silver mounting

the steps. - The body wae alone for all to
view. The honor guard, next to the hearse
on the upper side, took the same relative
positions they had maintained to the re
mains while being borne to the hearse.
The ateps were drawn away from the
hearse. Commander Johnson took bis
place in the centre and Immediately behind
the fnnerol car, at bis left and right in
either rear corner ot the car,were the com
rades of Wheeler Post, Saratoga. Next,
and directly behind these were representa
tives of the Loyal Legion. The clergy and
physiciana had paid their respect to the
remains by alighting from their carriages
and accompanying tnem from the steps to
the hearse. They entered carriages on the
other aide of the plszs, near Broadway, as
follows: Rev. Dr. Newmao, Bishop Har
ris, Bishop Potier, Rev. Dr. Chambers,
Rev. Dr. Field, Rev. Dr. Bridgeman. Rev.
Dr. West, Ifev. Dr. Deahon, Rev. K. Col

Col. Beck in charge of the Regulars com
manded bis companies as indicated above
to positions. Company A on the right and
Company E on the left of hearse. Colored
men were at the aides ot the twenty-four
horses. Sixteen men of Meade Post of
Philadelphia, of which Gen. Grant was a
member, were abreastdirectly In front of
the team of black leaders and the David's
Island band preceded them. When the
signal was given the line of coaches with
the clergy moved off the plaza to Broad
way. A band stood wailing at the bead ol
the funeral car. Col. Beck advanced to
the head of the line of black horses before
the coach. "Move on, move on,” werehis
words ot command.
With uplitted sword the leaders stepped
forward led by colored men and in an in
stant the black Una of horses had straight-
ened their traces and wheels beneath the
remains were turning. The honr was 0:47.
The band played a dirge, the tramp ot the
Regulars and the honor guard beat upon
the pavements. Thousands beneath the
trees crowding tho eldea u! the squares
looked silently on and the black fnneral
car rolled over the curb into Broadway.
The corridors ol the city hall were eilenL

streamed across the plaza without hin

CLEARING BROADWAY.
All night long carpenters with saw and
hammer were busy in Broadway and when
this morning's son climbed np ont ot the
Reant at the other end. Committees, or
anizal'.ons and delegations were gather-
[ States and their staffs, tho heads of bnreans
of the War Denertment, liea-h of bureaus

this morning a ann climbed np om or tne
sea and shea Its brilliant light upon the
dark corners and allays ol the city it re-
vealsd the presence of hundreds of hasti
ly erected reviewing stands from which the
great procession canid be seen, at prices
ranging all the way from 51 to 510 a head.
The decorators, too, had not been idle, for
on the front of many great warehouses
were displayed emblems of moornlng,
which were not there the night before.
Bnt, perhaps, the busiest men m the city
last night were those connected with the
street clearing department. Every foot
of Broadway from the battery to Central
Park had been thoroughly swept
and cleared. Hundreds of horeea
and thousands of men who did
this work acted with such promptness
and aOdaccy that the great thoroughfare
was this morning, In words of Yankee
parlance, as “clean as a whittle." 8nch
was the anxiety ot the department to have
the streets aa clear as possible that a force
of men with carta wer* directed to go over
the fine ot march up to the very hour
when the procession was to start from the
etty hall. Reviewing itandi were located
fn all aorta ot places. In front of the
rains ol Harrigan * Hart’s Theatre
Comlqne, speculators erected a stand at
leaat 100 feet In length. They sold scats
for as much money as they could get.
Prices ranged from on* to sit dollar*.
Besides the larger stands there were many
smaller ones. The windows ot many of
the great warehouses along Broadway had
been cleared of the fancy goods which
Ibey contain 3U6 daya in the year and the
empty space filled with chairs for the
accommodation of th* friends of the seve
ral firms. Nearly every empty stand
along the route bad been taken.

Some of these were rented ontright, while

parade conld be proinred.
Whan at length the hands of the great
clock of Trinity Church approached the
bonr of noon, Broadway presented an
animated spectacle aa far aa the eye could
reach. The sidewalks were thronged with
people. Every train and every steamer
poured Its load into the great artery of
travel. Bronzed faces from the country,
white from the dty coanting rooms and
offices, and dirty face* from tenement dis
tricts, were in the crowd. Rich and poor,
rough and riacal, dignitaries and nonenti
ties jostled each other on the curbstone of
the sidewalk. Everybody seemed to be
good natnred and took tr.e jostling and
jamming as a matter of coarse.
The police tried to keep the people off
the street, bnt it was hard work. There
were more who wanted to pass along tbs
&>< i
walks than there was srldth of passage to
contain. Madlaon Square was long a stir
and troops ot night watchers were trailing
to Twenty-third street as early as 7 JO
o’clock, when an officer on horseback
dtahed nip to the ladies' entrance of Fifth
Avenue Hotel and dltmoantins took bla
stand at thedoor, a pearl grey saah, denot
ing hint to be an aide ol Gen. Uanoock,
crosied his breast. The officer was CoL
Hodges, ot Gen. Hancock's stall. He was
followed shortly by a mild-looking jentle-
man fn military uniform, who proved to
be the marshal of the presidential and
gubernatorial carriage party, Ueotanant-
Colonel GUltsple. Tbelr presence

The crowd then tnrged around toward the

came impassable. Inside, the Increasing
throng of uniformed man blocked every
hall and cortdor. General Sherman—tall,
erect, and smoking a cigar—was thecentre

In a quiet little parlor, off the ladles'

ous men, most of them grey haired and
old, bnt nearly all erect and ot vigorous
l-hv-iwere pulling on broad silken
sashes o! black and white. They were tho
nail bearers and a striking group. Gen.
Sherman, summoned up from his friendly
talk below, resplendent in military toggery,
stood In friendly conversation with a tall
man In whose white monstacbe and chin
beard and soldierly bearing are recognized
at a glance the
GALLANT CONFEDERATE GENERAL BUCKNER
from whom Grant wrested his first hard
won laurels at Fort Donelson. Gen Buck
ner was in an ordinary black civilian dress
suit. Mr. Gmail was similarly attired at
the other end of the room, whose gray
hairs formed a striking contrast to the
leonine man, with whom he was exchang
ing reminiscences oi past campaigns, was
the
FAMOUS GENERAL JOE JOHNSTON,
the bravest of the brave, who succumbed to
Ged. Grant. Hamilton Fish was not
among the pell bearers. He was sick and
the President bad appointed J. Drexel, of
Philadelphia, in his place. At half past
' [ht o'clock Col. Hodges summoned the
II bearers to their cottages. The Presi
dent'* carriage, drawn by six horses, was
called np to the door next, bnt it bad folly
an honr to wait. The President had sig
nified his Intention to ride with Secretary
Bayard. In anticipation ot the coming
enormous crowd, which the police found
it difficult to manage, gathered opposite
the hotel entrance on Twenty-third street,
and yells of “here they come," went np
every time a delegation of Grand Army vete
rans, gubernatioual delegation or commit
tee of State delegate), who borrowed in the
big hotel apparently in countless numbers,
came out. The Grant family were qnlok-
ly gathered In their parlors over looking
the square and straneers were rigidly ex
cluded from the balls leading to their
rooms. Mrs. Grant had not arrived and
it was announced that she would not at
tend the fnneral, bnt had concluded to
stay at Mount McGregor. She wae re
ported by Dr. Newman to be still weak
and 111, thongh not confined to her bed.
The party gathered at the hotel ready to
take carriages for their position in the
parade, when the column should have ad
vanced ao far as to permit carriages to fell
into line.
TOR GRANT FAMILY.
At the hotel were Colonel and Mrs. Fred
Grant, Mrs. Sartoris, Mr. and Mrs. U. B.
Grant, Jr., Mrs. Jesse Grant. Mrs. Cramer,
Mrs. Dent, Miss Cramer, General Cres-
well, Mr. Stephen L. Mariaty, Senor
Romero and Mr. J. Arkell. The members
of the party, who from time to time ap
pearedat the windows as the head of th*
column moved np past the hotel, the bands
playing as they passed, were objects ot
general attention on the part of the mol-
iitndes gathered in the sq aare.
Owing to tho absence from the city of
a majority of the Fifth Aveooe residents
the lack ot mounting emblems in that
thoroughfare has been noticeable nntil to
day, as compared with other leading
streets. Thia morning, however, many ol
the finest residences were appropriately
draped by order ot their owners, among
them being that of Jay Gould, at Filth
and Fortieth street, and that ot the fami
ly of the late ex-Governor E. D. Morgan
At 0:20 o’clock President Cleveland called
bis cabinet together and arrangements
were made for the order In which they
were to leave the hotel and take their
places In the prooeeslon. The hands on
the clock In front of the hotel pointed to
five minntes after ten, when General Han
cock and General Bhaler rode under the
windows at the head of a big procession,

Along the line of the avenne where troops
of the first division of the National Gnard
were drawn np, guns were brought to a pre

scarred and worn, its work dona and
prondly looking backward over the beroio
past—passed a long procession with
VllLRD VLAOS AND MUVYLBD DRUMS,
and arms reversed, in sadness. The great,
silent throng watched them go by and the
square from windows, housetops and bal
conies and porches that seemed hanging
in the air so daringly, had been tbraitfor-
ward from the buildings by sight-seen,
anxious to view tho memorable show.
There was not any apace of ground any
where In sight, and how the police made
way for carriages, military and the march
ing thousands in citizens' dress seemed In
comprehensible, bnt they did. CapL Wil
liams swung his dab at the point of Fifth
avenne and Twenty-third street where
the pressure of the throng was greatest,
and his presence alone acted like a charm.
In the crowd the ntmest good humor pre
vailed. Everybody made room for
everybody cue to the extent
his ability and no harsh words were
heard. The showy white balme
and cream colored jackets of the Twent;
second Regiment of State troops made
continnona doable file fronting the hotel
to the north of It. The First and Second
battery, handsomely mounted, had the
avenne as far as Twenty-eighth street, on
the left of the Twenty-second Regiment,
whose place was under the Grant family
windows. The Ninth Regiment, under
CoL Seward, took np th* line, the Eleventh
and Twelfth Regiments following in suc
cession. Brigadier-General Ward and his
staff were stationed farther down the are-

passed Twenty-third street at 1 o'clock
sharp. The bum of expectation that bad
preceded It was stilled as it psssed by, and
heads were uncovered. Many heads were
bowed, and somehow an old negro woman
who had been wedged In, essayed to kneel
with tears stro.iniiiK down her wrinkle-1
face. She was held as fast as if in tongs
by the crowd and conld not atlr. On a
single telegraph pole on the cor
ner ot Broadway and Twenty-
third street were perched not
less than twenty-eight spectators, one of

psssed, the carriages containing Col. Fred
Grant, his wile and Bister fell In and there
was a tremendous scrambling for the
carriages of the mourners whose long wait
had persuaded them to leave Ibetr seats to
catch a glimpse ol the procession from the
street corner, where Captain William's
men had cleared and kept an open space
for aides with no little difficulty. The
coaches fell quickly into line without con
fusion.
The Congressional committee and other
officials from Washington were distin
guished by broad white sashes. Speaker
Carlisle and ex-Speaker Randall rode with
Congressmen Hiicock, of New York and

IRREGULAHITIES discovered.
.. The committee appointed to investigate
the affaire ol the Coast and Geological sur
vey and to inquire into alleged irregulari.
ties and official misconduct on the part of
the superintendent. Fret. Hlligard, made
their report to the Secretary of the Trees-
ary to-day. Tho committee began their
investigation July 23J, and continued It
dally until closed. They took possession
ot tha books, acconnts and records of the
survey and examined a large number of
witnesses. The committee eay that their
investigation "leave* no ground for doubt
that the actual condition of the office of
survey was one of demoralization and Its
workings toaserioue extent Inefficient, un
just and to eoms extent disreputable. That
many of the defects In Its condition and
management ar* the result of Its gradual
growtn under the system ot regulations
which afford excellent opportunities, 11 not
invitations, for the perpetration of the
abuse. It le doub les* true, but it seema
unquestionable that tbe responsibility for
tbe lamentable condition, which waa quite
generally conceded by employes, ta dne to
the willingness on the part ot the late
superintendent to avill himself ot those
opportunities for tha continuance ot
abuses, to hla weakness or procrastination
jn administering his office, to hla tolera
tion and apparent encouragement of
vlcioni practices, to bla exhibitions of
favoritism and arrogance, to bis continued
and flagrant disregard apparently ol the
regulations devised In the interest
ot honest, iffiolent and economf
cal administration, to hla pro
tection ot expoeed rascality and
to his unfortunate confessed and locally
notorious addiction to the nee of Intoxi
cants. Either of these earn as would seri
ously militate against efficient administra
tion. In combination tney seem to have
been fatally effectual, Inasmuch as they
aflorded the demoralizing Influence ot a
victim example to snch ot his snbordinate
as choose to imitate It, while depriving
him ot tbe respect and confidence ot near
