Business was suspended in Chattanooga
on the 22d at noon, all the city bells were
tolled, and several thousands of those who
wore the blue and several thousands of
thos® wW ^pr& the gray during the late
Avar marched4n solemn procession through
the streets to a hall where requiem services
for the dead President were held. An immense flagstaff .was erected on the
|top of a hill near the city." The
Jveterans formed around it. As the
'ex-(Jdnfedfefiv€e* soldiers reached the
!hill the band*'played ••Dixie," which was
loudly cheered by tbe Union veterans. A
flag draped, in mourning was hoisted to
half-mast by a JPederal and a Confederate
Major. As the flag was being raised the
band played " The Star Spangled Banner, •*"
and the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
The band then played ""Nearer My God, to
Thee^Z/'and .all present uncovered and
bowed their heads.
T]^.E^, jnsn boarded a train on the Iron
Mountain Road at the Town of Hope, Ark.,
about ten o" clock on the night of .the 22d, and
■set to work to rob the passengers, thetrain-
menpand the express messenger. They car-
carried p*it^y*rloqlcing - revolvers, which
they held?injtcl6se and dangerous proximity
to tie conductor's head while they collected
their booty. They succeeded in getting
away yrtth about $18,000. The train-men
are saidto'have showed a very great lack of
'nerve.

Some' severe- criticisms having been made
on the surgeons' report of tbe autopsy of the
late President, Dr. Woodward stated on the
24th that those present at the autopsy would
make s joint statement at the proper time,
but they could not stop individually to chase
down lies in circulation. He said the dissection was performed by Prof. Lamb, one
entirely unconnected with the case previously, and a gentleman of the highest professional and personal-character, and particularly distinguished as a demonstrator of
anatomy. A published statement declaring Hiat the ball was accidentally found in
a basin among the bowels had been credited In part to General Swaim. He desired it
to be known that he had no hand in it, and
had no criticisms to make tipon the case or
upon the surgeons. Dr. Lamb said the
bulletin report of the autopsy issued by the
surgeons-was correct and true; that nothing was concealed or held back; also, that
the wound was necessarily fatal. Dr. Bliss
said the results of the late autopsy were
correctly given; that there was no attempt
to conceal anything, and that the wound
was necessarily fatal. Dr. Eeyburn refused
to dlselfss so false a statement as that which
mail© the-discovery of the ball a matter of
accident.
Nus*K carpenters employed by the Pittsburgh & Lafee Erie Itailroad Company, despite due warning, took a liaiid-car at Beacon, Pa., on the morning of the 24th, to go

of the Cabinet, the United States Supreme

outthe labnc of our free institutions re-
mam unshaken. No higher or more

our foreign intercourse, and the wisdom, integrity and thrift of our people
may be trusted to continue undisturbed tbe
present assured career of peace, fraternity
and welfare. The gloom and anxiety which
have enshrouded the country must make repose especially welcomenow. JNo demand for
speedy legislation has b.*en heard; no adequate occasion is apparent for an unusual session of Congress. The Constitution defines the f unct'ons and powers of
the Executive as clearly as those of either of
the other depirtments of the Government,
and he must answer for the just exercise of
the discretion it permits, andthe performance
ofthe duties it imposes. Summoned to these
high duties and responsibilitio*, aad profoundly conscious of their magnitude and gravity, I
assume the trust imposed by the Constitution,
relying for aid on Divine guidance and the virtue, patriotism and intelligence of the American people.
A WASiirs-GTOJN dispatcb of the 22d says
the members of the Cabinet had'been requested by President Arthur to retain their
respective positions. The same telegram
states that it had been authoritatively
learned, as well as indicated by the President's inaugural address, that there will be
no session of Congress until the regular
session in December next.
A Washington dispatch of tbe 22d says

town and village in the land on the 25th,
and numberless sermons were preached on
his life, public services and death. In Paris
and London similar honors were paid to the
deceased, and in the former city Pere Hy-
aeinthe celebrated a special service which
Mr. Morton, the United States Minister,
attended. In St. Paul's Cathedral m London the majority of the congregation, which
was unprecedented!}' large.appeared dressed
in deep mourning. When the ''Dead March in
Saul" was played the whole congregation,
numbering many thousands, rose and remained standing amidst profound silence,
all showing grief and many weeping. Canon
Stubbs preached, and specially referred to
the cruel manner of President Garfield's
death. He extolled his life and virtues,
and expressed sympathy for ihe sorrowing
American Nation. A Masonic memorial
service was held in the City of Mexio, and
a Union Proiestant service iri which all
missionaries joined.
The tram conveying the remains of JPres-
dent Garfield left Alloona, Pa., at 1:45 a.

As the cars approach.d the latter city the
bells of the churches, engine-houses and
school buildings commenced to toll, and
so continued nr.til the train left. At
Wellsville. Ohio, Governor Foster and company joined the party. The passage to
Cleveland was made without accident, the
train arriving at 1:17 p. in. There was almost one continuous procession through the
State of Ohio, the officials attached to tbe
train said. At Cleveland the funeral cortege was met by an immense concourse of
people. The ladies of the party were escorted to carriages and taken to* residences
of friends. The body of the late President
was then taken from its car by a detachment of soldiers under Lieutenant
Weaver and borne on their shoulders to a
special hearse in waiting, followed by a distinguished guard of honor, marching two. by
two, an army and nalvy officer abreast. General Sherman and Rear-Admiral Nichols
had the head..and they were followed by
General Sheridan and Admiral Rodgers,
General Hancock and Admiral Porter and
Generals Drum and Meigs with other naval
officers.. Then followed Chief-Justice
Waite and other Supreme Court Judges,
-members- of the Cabinet, Governor Foster and his staff and escort and
the Congressional Committee. While the
procession was forming, the band played a
solemn dirge. The march was by the
nearest route, down Euclid avenue
to Erie street, then to Superior, and
then to the park, to the pavilion, where the remains were placed without special ceremony, to lie in state, the
casket reposing on tbe dais, surrounded by
costly and elaborate floral pieces. During
the 25th the remains lay in state, and the
pavilion was visited by an immense concourse of people, estimated at fully 100,000,
and memorial services were held in the
various churches.  ■
A Washington telegram of the 24th says

The London Spectator oi tbe 21th says:
"The week has been saddened for all JEn-
glish-speaking men. The Queen's unprecedented act, ordering mourning for one
neither a sovereign nor a relative, precisely
expressed the universal feeling that an Englishman who was in the place of a Kins,
and worthy to rank with lving3, had passed
away. It is not an exaggeration to say that,
of S3,000,000 people avIio now think in English, there are not fifty who would not have
made some sacrifice to aid the late President in his struggle for life. This fact may
yet affect the history of the world. - All Englishmen are interested in the only Englishman who reigns by election, and are solicitous that he do nothing to lower an office
that half of them feel must one day exist in
England." _

progress it passed through thousands who

the dead and the bereaved family passed.
At the cemetery other religious exercises
were held, terminating with the interment
at about three p. m. From first to last

impressive grandeur of the last honors paid

The funeral train arrived at Euclid AAre-
nue Station, in this city, at 1:17, and was

The police arrangements were admirable,

boiler-head, and all the cars Avere elaborately draped. After the train stopped the ladies were escorted to the carriages. The
wives of the Cabinet officers went first; then
the distinguished AvidoAV, supported on one

floral pieces.
September 25.
The ."Nation's dead lay in state to-day on
the flower-wreathed catafalque iu Monumental Park, while from early morn till far
in the night a steady stream of sympathizing humanity filed into the pavilion, gazed
lovingly and tenderly on the casket Avhich
inclosed his dust, and passed on to make
room for the remainder of tho living, ever-
moving line. Inthe meantime, thousands
on thousands of others AA'ere wending their
way to Lake View Cemetery, or listening to
the loving words AA'hich fell from the lips
of reA'erent men, who recounted the goodness and the virtues of the stricken chief
ind sought to reconcile the ways of God to
Bian.
Special trains from eA'ery directionpoured
their living freight into the already overcrowded city,, and still the croAvds came,
eager to pay the last tender tributes of Ioa'c
and homage to him whom the Nation itself
had loved and revered the most.
September SO.
Promptly at 10.30, the hour appointed,
the ceremonies at the pavilion began, in the
presence of thousands of distinguished
guests, and the immense multitude blocked
all adjacent streets for squares around. The
immediate members of the family and near
relatives and friends took seats about the
casket, and at each corner AA'as stationed a
member of the Cleveland Grays, each of
Avhom stood like a statue during the entire
programme. The members of the committee
about the pavilion Avere almost cloaked in
crape, their drapings being very heavy.
Dr. J. P. Robinson, President of the
ceremonies, announced that the exercises
would be opened by the singing by the
CleA'cland Vocal Society of the ''Funeral
Hymn," by BeethoA-en, whereupon the
hymn was sung, as folloAVs:
Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not
deplore thee;
Though sorrow and darkness encompass the
tomb, ,
The Savior has passed through its portals before thee,
And the lamp of His love is thy light through
the jrloom.
Rt. ReAr. Bishop Bedell, of the Episcopal
Diocese of Ohio, then read the greater portion of the fifteenth chapter of Corinthians,
after which ReA\ Ross C. Houghton, pastor
ofthe First Methodist Episcopal Church,
offered a feeling and earnest prayer.
„ At thi* point the Vocal Society sang as
follows:
' To Thee, Ol-ord, I yield my spirit;
Who breakest in love this mortal chain:
My life I but from Theo inherit
And death becomes my chiefest gain.
In Thee 1 liver in '>hee 1 die;
Content, for Thou art ever nigh.
Rev. Isaac Errett, of Cincinnati, then delivered an eloquent discourse, taking for his
text the following:
And the archers shot at King Josiah, and
the King said to his servants:- ■•H«\*e me
aAvay, for f am sore Avouuded." His servants,
therefore, took him out of that chariot and
put him in "the second chariot that he had, and
they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died
and Avas buried in one of the sepulchers of
his fathers, aud all Judah and Jerusalem lamented for Josiah, and Jeremiah lamented
for Josi h, and all the singing* men
and the singing* Avomen spake of Josiah in
their lamentations to this day, and made
them an oidinanee in Israel. And behold
they are written iu the Lamentations. Noav,
the rest of the acts of* Josiah, and his goodness
according to that AvhichAvas Ayrittenin the la;v
of the JLoid, and his deeds, first and
last, behold, they are Avritten in the book
of the Kings • of Israel and Judah. For
behold the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth
take away from Jerusalem and from Judah
the stay and the staff, the whole stay of
bread, and the Avhole stay of Avater, The
mighty man and the man of Avar, and the
prophet,-and the prudent, and the ancient*,
theCaptainof fifty,'.and the honorable man,
and tho counsellor, and the cunning artificer,
and the eloquent orator. The A-oice said
"'Cry!" and he said. "What shall I cry'/" All
Hosh is grass, and all Ihe goPdliness thereof is
afl;the llower of the field. The grass Avither-
eth, the tlOAver fadoth, beoauso tho Spirit of
the.! ord blOAveth upon it. Surely, tho people is grarss. Tho grass witheivth, the JIoavci*
ftu.e.1-, but the Word of our God shall stand
forever.
In the course of his address, Which Avas
very lengthy, Mr. Errett said:
"There avus neA'0." a mourning in all the
world like unto this mourning. I am not speaking extravagantly Ayl*ep I say, tor I am told
it is the.result of calculations carefully made
from such data as are* in possession, that certainly not less than 300,000,000 of the human
race share in the sadness, and lamentations,
and sorrow, and mourning that belong to this
occasion here to-day. It is a chill shadow of a
fearful calamity that has extended itself into
every home in all this land, and into eA'ery
heart, and that has projected itself OA-er vast
seas and oceans into distant laxds, and
awakened the sincerest and profoundest
sympathy --with us in the hearts of the
good people of the JNations, and among all
people. It is worth while, my friends, to
pause a moment and ask why this is. It is
doubtless attributable in part to the wondrous
triumphs of science and art within the present eentury, by means of whieh time andspaee
have been so far conquered that JNations once
far distant and necessarily alienated from
each other are brought Into close communication, and the various ties of commerce, and of
social interests, and of relicious interests
bring them in a contact of fellowship that
could not have been known informer times.
It is likewi.se unquestionably partly due to
the fact that this Nation of ours, which has
groAvnto such Avondrous might and power
before the whole earth, and which is, in fact,
the hope of the world in all that relates to
the highest ciA'ilization, that sympathy for
this JNJation and respect for this great pOAver
lead to these off erings of condolence and expressions of sympathy and grief from the
various nations of the earth, and because they
haA'e learned to respect this Nation, and re cog-
awarded to him from all hearts over this vast
land. There Avas another thing. He passed
ad the conditions of virtuous life, between the
log*-cabin in Cuyahoga and the White House,
and in that Avonderful, rich and varied experience, still movins* up from high to higher, he
has touched every heart in all this land in
some point or other, and he became the representative of all hearts and lives in this land,
and not only the teacher but the Interpreter
of all virtues, for he knew their Avants, and
he JkneAv their condition, and he established
legitimately ties of brotherhood with every
man with Avhom he came in contact. I take it
that this law lying at the basi3 of his
Character, this rock on which his whole life
rested, followed up by the perpetual and enduring industry that marked his Avhole career,
made him at once the honest and the capable
man Avho im'ited in every act of his life and
received the confidence and the loA'e, the unbounded confidence and trust, of all Avho
learned to know him. There is yet one other
thing- that 1 ought to mention here. There was
such an admirable harmony of all his powers;
there was such abeautiful adjustment of- the
physical, intellectual and moral in his being;
there was such an equitable distribution of
physical, intellectual and moral forces, that
his nature looked out every way to get at
sympathy with everything, and found about
equal delight in all pursuits and studies;
So that he became, through his industry and
honest ambition, really an encyclopedia; there
Avas scarce any single word that you could
touch to which he would not respond In a way
nize that the Nation Is stricken • in the fatal
blow that has taken away our President from
us. And yet this Avill by no means account
for this marvelous and world-Wide sympathy
of which we are speaking. ATet it cannot be
attributed to mere intellectual grsatness, f or
there have been and there are other great
men; and, acknowledging all that the most
enthusiastic heart could claim to our beloved
leader, it is but fair to say that there haA*e
been more eminent educators, there have been
greater soldiers, there have been most skillful,
and experienced, and powerful legislators
and leaders of mighty parties and political
forces. There Is no one department in
AA'hich he has won eminence Avhere the Avorid
might not point to others -Avho attained higher
and more intellectual greatness. It might
not be considered more righteously here than
in many other cases; yet, perhaps, it is rare
in tho history of men and in the history of
nations that any one man has combined so
much of excellence in all those various departments, and Avho, as an educator, and a laiv-
yer, and a legislator, and a soldier, and a
party cnieftaiu, and a ruler, has done so well,
so thoroughly Avell, in all departments, and
brought out such successful results as to inspire confidence aud command respect and approval in every path of life ip which be has
Avalked, and in every department of public activity which he has occupied. Tet 1 think Avhen
Avecome.toa proper estimate of his character
and seek after the secret of their world-Avide
sympathy and affe.ction, we shall find it rather
in the richness and integrity of his moral
nature, and in that sincerity, in that transparent honesty, in that truthfulness that laid
the basis for everything of greatness to Avhich
Ave do honor to-day. I may state here what
perhaps is not generally known as an illustration of this. When James A. Garfield was
yet a mere lad in this county, a series or religious meetings Avere field in one of the towns
of Cuyahoga County by a minister by no means
attractive as an orator, possessing none of the
graces of an orator, and marked only by
entire sincerity, by good reasoning poAvers,
and by earnestness in seeking to win souls
from sin to righteousness. The lad Garfield
attended these meetings for several nights,
and after listening night after night to the
sermons he AYent one day to the minister
and said to him: 'Sir, I haA'e been
listening to your preaching night after,
night, and I am fully persuaded that, if these
things you say are true, it i3 the duty and the
highest interest of every man, and especially
of every young man, to accept that religion
nnd seek to be a man. But really I don't
know Avhether this thing is true Or not. I
can't say I dlsbelieA-e it, but I dare not say
that I fully and honestly believe it. If I Avere
sure that it were true I would most gladly
give it my heart and my life.' So, after a long
talk, the minister preached that night on the
text, "What Is Truth?" and proceeded to
shoAV that, notwithstanding all the various
aud conflicting theories and opinions in ethical science, and uotAylth-taiiding all the various and conflicting opinions in the Avorld,
there Avas one assured and eternal alliance for
every human soul in Christ Jesus, as to
the AA'ay of the truth and the line that
every soul of man was safe Avith Jesus Christ;
that He never Avould mislead; that any young
man giving Him his hand and heart and walking in His pathway would not go astray, and
that Ayhatevor might be the solution of ten
thousand insoluble mysteries, at the end of
all things the maiiAvho loved Jesus Christ and
Avalked alter the footsteps of Jesus, and realized in spirit and life the pure morals and the
SAveet piety, that he to-night Avas safe if safety
there wore in the universe of God; safe whatever else Avere unsafe; safe whatever else might
prove unworthy and perish forever. And Gar-
Held seized upon it after due reflection, and
came foi ward and gave his hand to the minister in pledge of acceptance of the guidance of
Christ for his life, and turned back npon
the sins of the Avorld foi-*Sver, The
boy is father to the man, and that pure
honesly . and integrity, and that fearless spirit to inquire, and that bra\*o
surrender of ailthe charms of sin to conviction of duty aud right, Aveut Avith him from
that boyhood throughout his life, and croAvnod
bim Avith the honors that were so cheerfully
that made you know that his hands had swept
it skillfully long ago, and tttere Avas no topic
3'ou could bring before him, there was no object you could present to him, that you did
notwonaer at the richness and fullness of information somehow gathered; for his eyes
were always open, and his heart was always
open; and his brain was ever busy, and equally
interested in everything—the minute and the
vast, the high and the Ioav. In all classes and
creeds of men he gathered up that immense
store, and that immense variety of the most
valuable and practical knowledge, that made
him a man. not in one department,..but in all
rounds, everywhere his Avhole bea-itiful and
symmetrical life and character. * * * Tho
great lesson to AA'hich T desire to point you can
be expressed in a f ewAVords. James A. Garfield
went through his AVhole political life without
surrendering for a moment his Christian integrity, his moral character, or his love for
the spiritual. Coming into the exciting conflicts of political life Avith a nature capable as
any of feeling the force of eA'ery temptation,
with temptations to unholy ambition, with
unlawful prizes Avithin his reach, with eA'ery
inducement to surrender all his religious faith
aud be knoAvn merely as a successful man of
the world—from first to last he has manfully
adhered to his religious convictions and found
more praiss, aud gathers to him in his death
all the pure inspirations of the hope of everlasting life.
[The speaker here hastily reviewed the remarkable career of the illustrious dead, as
he, step by step, and without any place-seeking on his part, gradually rose, from one degree of eminence to another, until be Avas,
unsolicited on his part, placed in the highest
position knoAvn to Our country. Mr. Errett
then added:]
" Noav. gentlemen, let me say to you all,
those of you occupying great places of trust
who are hereto--ay, aud the mass of those
Avho are called upon to discharge the responsibilities of citizenship, year by year, the most
invaluable lesson that we learn from the life
of our belOA'ed departed President is that not
only is it not incompatible with success, but
it is the surest means of success, to consecrate
heart and life to that Avhich is true and right,
aud rise above all questions of mere policy*
Avedding the soul to truth and right, and the
God of truth and righteousness in holy wedlock, neA'er to be dissolved. I feel, just at
this point, that we need this lesson, In this
great, Avondrous laud of ours, this misrhty
Nation, in its marA'e'ous upward career,-
Avith its CA-ery-increaslng power, opening
its arms to receiA'e from all lands the
people of all languages, all religions and all
conditions, and hoping, in tho Avarm embrace
of political brotherhood, to blend them with
us, to melt them into a common mass, so that,
when melted and run over again, it becomes
like the Corinthian brass, and in one type of
manhood, thus incorporating all the various
nations of the earth in one grand brotherhood,
presenting before the nations of the world a
spectacle of freedom, and strength, and prosperity, aud poAver beyond anything the world
has ever knoAvn. But let me say that the permanency ofthe work and its coutlnud enlargement must depend on our maintaining
virtue aa Avell as intelligence, and making
dominant in all the land those principles ot
pure morality that Jesus Christ has taught
us.      *      *     *
"It is of all things the saddest and most
grieA'Ous blow that those bound to him by the
tciiderest ties inthe home circle are called to

who, when the day of calamity came, was
there his ministering angel, his prophetess

were such as to forbid ministrations from

fearful struggle for life, and Avatching over

"And the children, that have grown up to a

treasure in their hearts its grand lessons of
his noble and wondrous life, they may be assured that the eyes of the Nation are upon
them, and that the hearts of th. people go
out after them.   * *   *"
Br. Errett AA'as listened to witb a close and
earnest attention. He spoke for forty
minutes, and when he closed a hush for a
moment hung over the A'ast audience.
Mr. Garfield's favorite hymn was beautifully sung by the Vocal Society, as follows:
" Ho, reapers of life's harvest,
Why stand with rusted blade
Until the night draws round thee
And the day begins to fade?
•' Why stand ye idle waiting
For reapers more to come?
The g-olden inorn is passing,
Why sit ye idle, dumb?
"Thrust in your sharpened sickl*
And gather in the grain;
The night is fast approaching,
And noon will come again.
" The Master calls for reapers,
And shall He call in vain?
Shall sheaA'es lie there ungathered
And waste upon the plain?
" Mount up the heights of wisdom *
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
** Be faithful to thy mission
In sendee of thy Lord,
And then a golden chaplet
Shall be thy just reAvard."
At 11:45 Dr. Charles S. Pomeroy delivered the final prayer and benediction, after
which the Washington Marine Band played
"Nearer, My God, to Thee."
TJB03 PROCESS-OX.
The entire line was tAvo and one-half
hours passing a given point. The length and
magnitude of the column was such that
when the advance division bad its van be-
3neath the arch of the entrance to the cemetery, the rear had not passed Erie street,
and the ranks opened, forming two compact
lines, between which the cortege moved.
This was equal, then, to a line of men four
abreast ten miles in extent. There Avere
nine chief divisions, each embracing a number of societies and organizations, military,
civic and religious.
The Seventh Division AA*as that for whicb
all eyes were eagerly expectant, and upon
which tbe tender regard of all hearts Ioa'-
ingly centered. Itwas the funeral escort
surrounding the car. In advance came the
Marine Band, their scarlet coats brightly reflecting the rays of tbe sun, finely playing a
soft pleasing hymn, that charmingly, sootlv
ingly contrasted AA-ith the blare of unmeaning tunes blown out by most of the bands.
Colonel J. M. Wilson, U. S. A., mounted on
the most beautiful horse seen in the procession, commanded this diA'ision. Around the
funeral car, as tbe guard of honor, Avere another detachment of Columbia Command-
ery, composed of the President's special
friends; the Cleveland Cavalry, yellow-
plumed, who formed the body guard
of General Garfield on tbe day of
bis inauguration; a detachment of the.
Second United States Artillery, under
command of Lieutenant Weaver; and
the Cleveland Grays. It made a most Inspiring spectacle. In the center AA'as the
great funeral car, built on the same plan as
that in Avhich the remains of Napoleon were
borne to their final rest inthe Hotel des Invalides, rising high aboA'e the heads of those
who rode beside it. The handsome casket,
sustained mlcUvay between base and the
canopy by the rich catafalque, the square
top rising to a massive crest, croAvn-shaped,
was supported by six columns, three
upon each side, Avound round with
folds of white and black crape. At the
top and OA'er the . corner-pillars were
heavy plumes of black body and white
top, so heavy that the Avinds scarcely
seemed to stir them. The car bed was
square and flat, tbe sides and ends being
concealed by heavy drapery that hung
doAA'n low enough tp form a curtain for the
iron wheels. The platform was 8x16, flat,
long, and the height of the car was twenty
feet. The lantern of tbe canopy was surrounded by wreaths of white immortelles.
The whole height was crowned by an urn.
At each corner of tbe platform were stands
of colors, battle memorials. This ear was
drawn by twelve jfine black borses, four
abreast, arrayed in covers of black broadcloth, with silver fringe. At the heads of
the outer horses were the six colored
grooms, Avho officiated in a similar capacity
on the occasion of Lincoln's funeral. The
car Avas curiously Avatched as it passed
along its way.-
FolloAA'ing behind tbe soldiers came tbe
carriages containing Mrs. Garfield and ber
bereaved family. Itwas a rich barouche,
Avith silk crape blinds closely drawn, to
which Avere attached two white horses with
black trappings. A similar carriage contained the mother of the President. There
Avere carriages closely following containing
the members of the Cabinet, Senators,
members of tbe Diplomatic Corps, Judges
of the Supreme Court, Governors of tbe
several states, members of Congress, and a
carriage containing ex-President Hayes.
After arriving at the Lake VieAV Cemetery, the band played -'JFearer, My God, to
Thee" as the military escort lifted the
coffin from the car and* carried it into,
the vault, the local Committee of
reception, Secretary Blaine, Marshal Henry,
and one or .aa'O personal friends standing at
either side of the entrance. ReA'. J. H-
Jones, the- Chaplain of the Forty-second
Regiment, who went out witb General Garfield, then offered some feeling remarks,
after which the Latin Ode of Hotoee—'•Integer Vita* "—was snug by the United German Society. The President's- favorite
hymn—'• Ho, Reapers of Life HarA'est"—
Avas again sung, and the exercises closed
with the benediction by President Hinsdale,
of Hiram College.
