PHSIDXNT ARTHUR la 51 years old today. THE Garfield fund now aggregates $391,000. GUITEAU trial coming on. Sub scribe for the CITIZIN. YNA GARFIBLD and family have re turned to Mentor, their old home. IT is thought that Guiteau will not be tried until the first Monday of De cember. Wi regret to learn of the serious ill- MM of Major W. C. Adams, of Fair view, and hope he may recover. THE closing funeral ceremonies at Cleveland, over the remains of Presi dent Garfield, and which we were un able to give last week, will be found LA the CITIZEN this week. 'lf ye lore me, keep my command ment!,' said the Master. If we would honor the memory of James A. Gar field we mast be true to the principles which be taught and in defense of which be gave op his life. IT is said that Conkling is trying to work his way back into the Senate of the United States. Tbe scheme is supposed to be an effort to get Mr. Lapham, one of the newly elected Senators from New York, a place in the Cabinet, or some other important place, and then Conkling to take his place. We have too much confidence in President Arthur and tbe Repuli cans of New York to think for a mo ment that they would countenance such a thing at this time. DKMONSTRATIONB of sympathy with tbe American people and Mrs. Garfield and of respect for the memory and ad-, miration of the character of General Garfield were general throughout world. From as far distant places as Cairo, Egypt, reports come of memorial services. In London and throughout all England tbe monrning for Presi dent Garfield has never been equaled by that for any foreign sovereign; business was very largelr suspended, tbe exchanges being closed; palaces, business offices, hotels, etc., put'on tbe insignia of mourning, and even cab and omnibus drivers decorated their whips with crape. Immense crowds attended the churches where memorial services were held and listened to eu logies on tbe illustrious deceased. Ir the Democrats could or would carry out the tenth part of all they lay down in their platforms they wonld be a pretty good party. But all the expe rience of these latter years are against them on this point. The resolutions they passed in State Convention last week are profuse in what they call "Jeffersonian doctrines," and in what their candidate for State Treasurer wonld do and would not do in case he were elected. But these "Jeffersonian" principles have heretofore been found to be but pretty theories and seldom - put into practice. They elected a State ... Treasurer not many years ago, "square timber Noyes," tbey called him, but there are no reforms on record tbit be instituted. When they get into office they are just like other people, if not a little more so. REPORTS from Washington and New York, through channels entitled to credit, to tbe effect that President Ar thur is not going to shame bis country men by repudiating or even looking coldly on the Garfield policy of admin istration are encouraging and assuring. We sincerely trust tbey may not prove deceitful and that the good work of reforming the Government and admin istering the civil seryice as though it were a trust and not a perquisite may be found to have received new life and new impetus by the author's sad and seemingly calamitous death. Presi dent Arthur is * man of intelligence, * energy and-culture, and it cannot be , , that he will miss so grand an opportu- ifity to .jtaJ&e himself popular and hon ored in the, land. Tone sure be will * hate some adverse associations and prejudices to conquer, but when bo >. sees so plainly what is the matter with •ur politics, what tbe people want and mean to have, and what it is the easi est thing to do, we cannot doubt he will do the sensible thing and let the dead past bury its dead without his assistance The retention of the Gar field Cabinet—at least of all the leading members of it, is highly importent if be intends to start right and to early win the confidence of the country. This is promised in dispatches to some of the leading Republican journals, but it is not generally credited.— Crawford Journal', THE proceedings of the meetings of the Bar here and the citizens of Petro lia, this county, on the death of the late President Garfield, will be found upon the first page of the CITIZEN this week. They will be read with inter est ; particularly the remarks of C. A. Sullivan, Esq., at the meeting here and the resolutions passed at the Petro lia meeting. That resolution especial ly of the Petrolia meeting that refers to the results of "stalwartism," truly gives voice to the feelings of the peo ple, and the citizens of Petrolia de serve the thanks of all for their cour age in denouncing it For if there is one lesson more than another, to be learned from the recent National calam ity, it is that which is learned from the evil effects of the bitter political strife for office. That the speeches of Conk ling, abusive of President Garfield for his appointments to office, had an ef fect on the mind of the assassin, Gui teau, there can be no doubt "Stal wartism," as preached and practiced by Conkling and his friends, meant their continuing rule in the Republican party, and, if not rule, then the ruin of it. This was evidenced by the action of Conkling himself as well as by the subsequent and fatal one of Guiteau. AT the special session of the United States Senate, that convenes next Monday, there may be a speedy organ ization of the same and there may not be. If the body were fully seated there would be 38 Republicans and 38 Democrats, counting Senator Mahone, of Virginia, with the Republicans and Senator Davis, of Illinois, with the Democrats. But there are three va cant seats in the body until the two New York Senators and the Senator who will succeed Gen. Barnside, deceas ed, from Rhode Island, are sworn in. These are all Republicans and cannot participate in the organization of the Senate until sworn in and becoming members of the body. They cannot be sworn in before a President, pro tern, of the body is elected, as that of ficer administers the oath to the new members. If this is the case the Democrats have the power to elect one of their members as the President pro tem, which is a matter of interest just now from the fact that that person will occnpy the position the Vice Presi dent did as regards the succession to the Presidency. While this mighi be unfortunate, in some respects, yet it would be still more unfortunate to witness a deadlock and a wrangle in the Senate at the present time. This cannot ariße unless the Republicans believe and claim that the three new Senators have a right toparticipate in the organization before being sworn in. What the parliamentary law or prac tice has been on this point we do not inquire or know, but we agree with that sentiment which believes it would be unseemly and unfortunate for the country if there is not a peaceable and speedy organization of the Senate when that body meets on Monday next STATE TREASURER. The Democratic State Convention, that met at Williamsport last week, nominated the Hon. Orange Noble, of Erie, as their candidate for State Treasurer. This now completes the list and makes five candidates in the field for that office. Besides Mr. Noble, as the Democrat ic candidate, there is the regular Re publican candidate, Gen. Silas M. Bailey, of Fayette county; the Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, Independent Republican candidate, of Union county; Mr. Wilson, of Mercer county, Temper ance candidate, and Mr. Jackson, also of Mercer county, as the Greenback candidate. From these the people will have to choose in November next. We may at another time discuss the political situation as presented by these several candidates. TRIAL OF GUI TEA U. By the dispatches we give in anoth er place, it will be seen that the trial of Guiteau already commenced in Washington, D. C. A bill of indict ment against him will be laid before a grand jury this week and will doubtless be found a true bill for mur der. The trial may not take place for some weeks yet. But it is thought there will be no legal difficulties in the trial and of a conviction. The Presi dent having died in the State *of New Jersey, it was supposed a question might arise as to whether ne would not have to be tried in that State. But a recent opinion from the pen of Judge Agnew would seem to set that ques tion at rest. He shows that Congress, as late as 1867, by a statute has pro vided that Guiteau can legally be tried in either place, in Washington where the shooting was done or in New Jersey where the President breathed his last. We may give this opinion of Judge Agnew in full at another time, and will give our readers as full proceed ings of the trial of Guiteau as possible. It will be looked to with great inter est by all. While the people all do sire to see the trial proceed according to the forms of law, yet they all desire at the same time to Bee quick and certain punishment for a crime, the boldest, the most fiendish, and the most lamentable in its consequences ever perpetrated in this or any other country. SUBSCRIBE for the CITIZEN—it will give the proceedings in the Guiteau trial. UntUK CitUwn: UntLee, ?«.♦ tBBt PRESIDENT ARTHUR. The acts of President Arthur so far are calculated to create confidence in him. No man could have come to the Presidency under more embarrassing circumstances than he has done. All his political surroundings were unfa vorable, and the misgivings of the great mass of the Republicans of the Nation were freely expressed. Yet he may agreeably disappoint all and we at present believe he will He has a grand opportunity—the grandest ever afforded in this country to any one man to free himself from boss rule and dictation, and to be the President of the people, in the spirit and light of his lamented predecessor, and it looks as if he realized the situation. We give no credence at present to the many rumors about Cabinet changes. No sudden changes will be made, at least ought not to be. tilllTEAi'S TKIAL. NOT AFRAID OF THE LAW—THE WIT NESSES SUBPCENAED—WHO WILL TESTIFY. WASHINGTON, September 28.—Dis trict Attorney Corkbill to-day took the last steps in the preliminary arrange ments for securing the indictment of Guiteau next week by issuiDg subpce naes to the following witnesses for the 'United States against Charles J. Guit eau Edward A. Bailey, Stenographer, who has a large mass of notes of con versations with Guiteau while in jail' giving his history from early boyhood, reasons for committing the act, etc.; Geo. W. Adams, President of the Evening Star Published Company, who was at the depot on rout to Cape May when the shooting occurred: George W. McElfresh, detective; Dr. D. W. Bliss and Dr S. Lamb, who we present at the autopsy; Jacob P Smith, special officer at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Depot, who witnessed the shooting and assisted in the arrest of Guiteau; Sarah E. D. White, in charge of the ladies' waiting room at the depot—she witnessed the shooting and helped to raise the Presi dent; R. A. Park, ticket-seller, who jumped through the window of bis of fice and assisted in raising the Presi dent ; Policeman Patrick Kearney, who spoke to the President just before the shooting, telling him he had ten minutes to wait for the train. This witness also assisted in Guiteau's ar rest The District Attorney will ask Senor Don Simon Camacho, Charge d'Affaires of Venezuela, who was in the depot and witnessed the shooting, to come forward and testify. No sub poena can issue in the later case, because the gentleman represents a foreign country and is not subject to subpoena. All of the above-named witnesses are directed to be in attendance at the reassembling of the Grand Jury at the Criminal Court-room on Monday morning next at 10 o'clock, when a presentment of the case will be made to the Grand Jury. No answer has yet been received by the District At torney from George M Scoville, Guit eau's brother-in-law, who was request ed by the prisoner to appear as his counsel. Guiteau says he is not afraid of the law, for that will protect him and prevent his being hung. He is reported as feeling somewhat disap pointed at not receiving a prompt re ply from his brother-in-law. Little doubt exists here but that his case will be presented quietly on Mon day next to the Grand Jury, and that body will report in favor of his indict ment for the murder of President Gar field. GUITEAU'B BROTHER-IN-LAW, MR. SCO VILLE, WILL APPEAR AS HIS COUNSEL. CNICAGO, September 29.—George Sco v i 11, jG u iteau 's|brotber-i n-1 aw, arriv ed here last night from Hartford, Wis., wbere he has a beautiful summer resi dence. He said he had received noti fication that Guiteau had chosen him for his counsel, and that be would have to appear on next Monday morning. 'Have you answered the dispatch V 'Not yet,' replied Mr. Scoville. 'lt was sent to me to Wisconsin, but I had not made up my mind what to do.' 'Will you act as Guiteau's counsel ?' 'I would rather leave it to the United States Government to appoint counsel to defend him, but my wife, who is Guiteau's nearest relative, and almost his only friend upon earth, insists that I shall appear as his counsel, and I suppose I shall hare to grant that re quest.' 'Will you so telegraph Mr. Corkhill ?' 'Yes, sir ;' I shall answer his dispatch to-day to that effect.' 'When will you leave for Washington ?' 'I shall be there in time to be on hand when he is called upon to plead.' 'Will you engage other counsels to assist you ?' 'That I haven't determined upon yet.' 'Do you anticipate a speedy trial ?' 'I don't know about that. I don't think Guiteau can be tried right away. When be is called upon to plead the time of bis trial will be fixed. We will have to secure time in order to prepare for the defense. Witnesses will have to be summoned from all parts of the country, and that will take time.' 'What will be your detense V 'I think that has been pretty well outlined. lam not in fa vor of making any technicality to the form of indictment or to question the jurisdiction of the court. Our defense will be insanity, and I shouldn't ad vise anything else. We have known nothing of Guiteau for three years past until this summer. I do not appre hend but that he will be accorded a fair trial. Our greatest effort will be to get men on the jury who will have judicial minds, men who have read of the case, kuow the facts, and who will be fair in the trial. I believe the government will see that be shall bavo an impartial trial.' George Scoville to clay formally asked Emery Storrs to assist in the de fense of Guiteau. Storrs declined with thanks. A Washington dispach says Colonel Corkhili, Uuited States District Attor ney, received this morning, from At torney General Stockton, New Jersey, a communication in which be states that no action will he taken in Gui teau's case by the authorities of that State. Tbe Garfield Family Fund. NEW YORK, September 28. —The projector of the fund for Mrs. Garfield in a card, referring to the suggestion that some of the money be given to the dead President's mother, states that under the terms of the subscrip tion papers sent out not a cent of the sum subscribed can be diverted to any other uses than those specified in the subscription papers—that is for the President's wife and children. He has j this afternoon received two checks— one for SSOO and one $250 —for Gener al Garfield's mother, which he will for ward with any other sums received to her or invest, aB she may prefer. The fund for Mrs. Garfield now reaches $324,- 6 75.67. For State Treasurer. General Silas M. Bally. A man who, from his youth up, has fought the battles of Republican ism in a region where no hope of suc cess could add vigor and zeal to the contest, and with no reward save the consciousness of having served the cause he loved. A man who has attested his love of law by service on the field of glory and of blood, who won his promotion in the glorious Pensylvania Reserves, from Captain to Brigadier, by merito rious service on the field. A man who stood in the red hell of battle at Drainesville, on the Peninsu la, at Gaines' Mill, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and the Wilderness, and who bore witness with his blood that he loved his coun try well He bears upon his person the rough scars left by the cruel cannon ball, and will carry to his grave the evidence of his patriotism and courage. He is able and worthy to lead Re publicans to victory as he led his regi ment to war.— Speech of Attorney Qenneral Palmer in Republican State Convention. A General Split In the Bepub liraii Ranks of Several New York District*. UTICA, N. Y., Sept. 27— At the Second Assembly District Convention to-day, an anti-Stalwart was elected chairman by a vote of forty to eight. The eight Stalwarts representing the town of Marshall and First and Second wards of Rome immediately withdrew and elected a contesting delegation to the State convention. OSWEGO, N. Y., Sept. 27.—There was a scene of great confusion to-day at the Republican Convention of the First District. The result was two conventions in the same room, and two sets of delegates to the State Conven tion. UTICA, N. Y., Sept. 27.—There was a split in the Republican Convention of the Third Oneida District, and two sets of delegates were elected. The New Horse Diseaaeln (be West. CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 27.—Pink eye, the new aud mysterious horse disease, is spreading in this city. It first made its appearance here about tea days ago, and has spread so rapidly that nearly every large stable in the city is suffer ing from its ravages. Eight horses in the fire departmen are dowD with it. Express companies and street car lines all report animals suffering from the complaint The disease first made its appearance in running at the eyes. The horse feels dumpish and the legs swell. After a few days, as a general thing, the horses recuperate. The di sease often proves fatal. The President and the Doctors. President Garfield's wound will take rank among the most celebrated cases in surgery. At first it was supposed that the liver and intestines had been injured, and death was expected with in a few hours from hemorrhage or peritonitis. More than a week passed before the surgeons were willing to admit that their first diagnosis was in correct. They then found that there was a long channel from the external opening, extending downward towards the right groin, and concluded that this was the track of the bullet. A lump was felt on pressure at the end of this channel, and an electric contriv ance apparently indicated the presence of a metallic substance at that place. During the last week of the case, the opinion that the ball was located here was almost unanimous. Surgeons not connected with the case, assuming this latter diagnosis to be correct, have held that the bullet should have been removed at all haz ards as soon as its location was discov ered. The physician "who has been 'practising in the columns of the New York Herald." as Dr. Agnew said, has demonstrated with great learning that the bullet was partially flattened by striking against the rib, and that a jagged ball could never become encyst ed. It could therefore only be a con stant source of inflammation and sup puration, and until it was removed there could be no well-grounded hope of ultimate recovery. The post mortem examination made by the surgeons showed that all the diagnoses had beeu incorrect, and that the Herald man was more hopelessly wrong than anybody else in his view of the case. So late as the morning afier the President's death, the Herald asserted that probably no well-informed medi cal man doubted that had the surgeons cut for and removed the bullet cause of death was the inflammation and suppuration induced by the fragments of the spinal column, which led to the burrowing abscess, the absorption of pus, the metastatic abscesses and the finally fatal hemor rhage. Had this artery not been rup tured, death would have ensued in a day or two from exhaustion. The case was hopeless from the first, and the autopsy justifies in every respect the course of treatment adopted by the surgeons in charge. It is some conso lation for the mourning nation to know that no human skill could have saved the President's life, and to be certain that the assassin's bullet was the sole cause of his death. There can be but one opinion about the bad taste and professional jealously that have marked the public utterances of those who have criticized everything that has been done in the case by the sur geons in charge. Experience (be Best Guide. The constant practice most women have in caring for the pick, makes them often more skillful than physicians in selecting medicines. The reason why women are everywhere using and rec ommeuding Parker's Ginger Tonic is, because they have learned by that best of guides—experience—that this excellent family medicine speedily overcomes despondency, periodical headache, indigestion, liver complaints, pain or weakness in the back and kid neys, and other troubles peculiar to the sex.— Home Journal. See adv. DUST TO DUST! GEtf. GARFIELD'N BODY lO.\SlG!Si:i) TO THE OB AYE. Closing Scenes at Cleveland. AT HOME AT LAST. CLEVELAND, September 26. —At last he is at home. It has been a sail journey and the end was only reached today. This afternoon the mortal remains of one of the very best loved men this new nation ever had were returned to their native hills. He often wished to be here even when in health and surrounded by wealth and power, but when deatli approached his great warm heart and powerful busy brain turned toward this spot as the child longs for it's mother's arms when weary. From child hood he had worked hard for a great place in life. When his foot had reached the top round of the ladder, the summit of which he had so richly earned, a reptile stung him and he fell. He caught hold of the round from which his foot slipped, and for a time his grip was strong, but the poison the viper had sent was too deep, and after an effort such as no mortal ever be fore made for life, the once strong bands relax ed, and with a sigh the struggle ended, the spir it went above, and the form which friends and country loved was limp and lifeless. Loving hands and loyal, stricken hearts that had wait ed, hoped and feared as never before watched over man, tenderly raised the body up and brought it home upon a bed of tears and a truck of flowers. It has been a long journey, and many tearful mourners have stood by the roadside. THE SOLEMNITY OF THE FINAL ACT. Words are powerless to picture it or to even faintly describe the awful solemnity of the final act. In his lifetime General Garfield loved these hills and valleys by the lake side and the people who lived here, and his longing to be surrounded by the dear old quiet of his birth place was so touching and pathetic as to touch the hearts of all. His wish has been respected even in death, and could he have looked at the evidences of their affection, as shown to-day, or upon the final home they have selected for him, he might have thought the measure of his glory full and slept ou. The ostentatious hom age of the public pales by the side of th» heart felt grief which to-day followed the remains to Lake View. The services over the remains were simple and affectiug. Few ears in the vast concourse could catch the minister's words when he prayed or spoke the eulogy of the de ceased. If they could they would" have mar veled to see how poorly words can portray such a life and character. THE FL'JFEBAL CAB. Before these representatives were all io their places the funeral car was drawn into the in. closure by twelve black horses. This sombre vehicle attracted great attention, and is doubt less one of the fiues vehicles of the kind ever improvised for a like service. It consists of a platform eight by sixteen feet, supported on four heavy truck wheels. From the edge of the platform to within an inch of the ground heavv black drapery bordered with silver fringe is suspended. Immediately below and contigu ous to the platform hang folds of heavy white silk caught up with black silk cord. Two terrace steps lead up to the pall. Between the steps rolls of immortelles run around the whole car. On each corner of the platform is a stand of flags draped in black. The arch canopy is supported by three columns on each side cover "ed with black broadcloth and coiled garlands of immortelles, with capitals of Egyptian de signs . Immediately obove the columns runs a r rejecting cornice, with black and white roses, n the frieze, under which are hung festoons of heavy broadcloth and silver fringe, large wreaths of immortelles bejng displayed in the shape of lambrequins on the four oorqers aboye the canopy, are black ostrich plumers—the whole crowned by a large urn wreathed with immortelles. This magnificent car was drawn by twelve black horses, four abreast, covered with heavy black blankets almost touching the ground, fringed with silver. On either side of each four horses was a colored groom—the same six who did a like service at the funeral of the first martyr President. THE SCENE ON TUE ARRIVAL OF TAE FAMILY > The scene upon the arival of the family at the pavilion, where the remains rested upon the magnificent catafalaue, deserves special mention, for it was the culmination of the sor rowful iuterest of a long mourning, and the sad completing touch to the mournful preparations for the final ceremony. Going up the short in cline from the steps of the carriage to where the body lay, the aged mother leaned upon the arm of James, the young son who was sick at Williams College when the father died, and who is still pale from that illness and the great strain upon him. The burden seemed too heavy for both himself and his a«ed grand mother. who leaned heavily upon his arm. A TORCHING SCENE. There was a touching scene when Mother Garfietd entered the pavilion. Before taking a seat she pressed toward the coffin containing the remains of her best-loved child, and lean ing over it hid her face from all observers with her arm. It was a touching scene which moved many a heart to tears. The disposition of the family, relatives and Cabinet around the catafalque necessarily consumed some few min utes, and when it was completed and all was in readiness for the ceremonies to begin the scene was indeed a sorrowful one. At tne head and foot of the coffin on either side stood the almost motionless sentries, musket in hand, as if to ward off invaders from the treasure they were guarding and eyen those who had a right to claim it. On either side were the bank of flow ers I have previously described, which are ftwt following the body to decay. The beautiftil white doves on the four corners of the bald achin which holds the mourning canopy seem ed to be breaking the last tie before flying to the spirit of the departed with tidings of the es teem of his countrymen which is this day being made so marvilously manifest. On the right, looking east, the monrning family sat, cut from the loved from only by the silent sentu ries. THE CEREMONIES. The quiet moment when this sceue was wit nessed was of short duration, for the ministers who were to officiate witdrew to the platform, and the man ot God who assisted in tne relig ious exercises called upon the Cleveland Vocal Society to sing the funeral hymn from Beeth oven, Thou Art Gone to the Grave. A moment after the strains of the beautiful music floated over the impressive scene aud the funeral cer emonies began. After the siugiug of the hymn was concluded Dr. J. P. Robinson oalled upon Bishop Bedell of this Episcopal Diocese, who read a passage of Scripture, begining with Job xiv. Rev. R. C. Houghton then delivered in a very impressive manner the followiug eloquent prayer. AN ELOQUENT PRAYER. "O God, our Father, we bow before Thee with the weight of a great sorrow upon our hearts. Our beloved President is dead, and all our hopes, which depended on hi* wisdom and his integrity for their fulfillment, are blighted. Just why Thou hast suffered this sore trial to come upon us we cannot tell, for Thou hast not informed us of the secrets of Thy government. Thy thoughts are not our thoughts, Thy ways are not our ways. We bow in humble submis sion to Thy will, and we pray for Divine help that we may not for one moment even doubt Thy wisdom or love. THK SERMON BY KEV. MR. ERBKTT. The Vocal Society then sang as follows: "To Thee, O Lord, I yield my spirit, Who breaks in love this mortal chain ; My life I but from Thee inherit, And death becomes my ehiefest aiiu. In Thee I live ; in Thee I die Content, for Thou art ever nigh." Rev. Isaac Errett, of Cincinnati then deliver ed an eloquent address, taking for his text the following: "And the archers shot KingJosiah, and the King said to his servaats, 'Have me away, for lam sore wounded,' " etc. He said : "There never was a mourning in all the world like unto this mourning. lam not speaking extravagantly when I say it, for I am told that it is the result of calculations carefully made from such data as are in possession that certain ly not less than three hundred millions of the human race share in the sadness and the lamen tations and sorrow nnd mourning that belong to the occasion here to-day. READING THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE HYMN —HO ! REAPERS OK LIFE'S HARVEST. When the serinon was concluded the Rev. Jabez Hill, of Cleveland, read General Oar field's favorite hymn, "Ho ! Reapers of Life's Harvest: Ho ! reapers of life's harvest, Why stand with rusted blade, Until the night draws round thee And day begins to fade ? Why stand ye idle, waiting, For reapers more to come? The golden morn is passing, Why stand ye idle, dumb? Thrust in your sharpened sickle And gather in the grain, The night is fast approaching And soon will come again. The Master calls for reapers, And shall He call in vain ? Shall leaves 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 service of thy Lord. And then a golden chariot Shall be thy reward. STARTING THE BODY OS ITS FINAL JOtRSKY. I Mr. Hill read this l>eautiful hymn with great effect, and it wan really the feature of the fune ral ceremonies. As tiie I*M words died upon his lips the vocal society began singing it. The little incident moved many to tears. When the singing was concluded Rev. 8. Pomeroy deliv- , ere 3 a short and appropriate prayer aud then j gave the benediction. After the ceremonies were thus concluded there was a delay occa sioned by the immense number of bodies that had to be formed in line before the corpse was started upon its final journey. Ex-President Hayes and wife and ex-Secretary Evarts follow ed the relatives and the three inseparable asso ciates of Garfield in his life time. Gen. Swaim and Colonels Rockwell and Corbin. followed. Private Secretary Brown directed the move ments of the family and friends. It was 12:30 p. M. when all was in readiness, and the impos ing yet mournful procession started up the road to General Garfield's final h»me. AT THE TOMB. At the tomb beyond the hill a different scene wax being enacted. None were admitted to the cemetery without passes from the Local Com mittee on Arrangements, but early in the dav numbers of ladies and children went to pick flowers on the hillside. These they carried in pretty baskets to the vault and the soldiers there" had not the heart to refuse them admit tance. In a few minutes the stone chamber where the President sleeps to-night was filled with tender blossoms. The black tapestries covering the walls were hung with trailing ivy and smilax, while the footsteps on the marble floor lost themselves in a soft bed of flowers. The low hum of bees and the song of birds came softly to the ear in that silent chamber of death behind whose wall the remains of three dead soldiers have found an eternal rest. The small lake to which the path from the tomb descends was filled with clear, limpid waters, fed by a little fountain which tossed and spark led in the sunlight. Under the shroud which overhung the vault to-day were the battle-flags of General Garfield's old regiment. A wall wider than the tomb itself was strewn with evergreens which ended where the main avenue began, and where the bearers from the hearse were to lay their burden. THE DESCENT OF THE FAMILY. The carriage stopped suddenly before the tomb and the curtains were raised by Mrs. Garfield, who looked out searchingly, first peering toward the dark caverns which were to receive for the present the remains of the Pres ident. Her pale, tearful face was under control for a moment, and in that moment the soldiers who had borne the casket from the catafalque lifte 1 it reverently to the ground in front of the tomb, to which it was carried over a soft bed of flowers, crushed under the soldier's noiseless tread. White-pinks, tulips, lilies of the valley, and immortelles marked the pathway to the tomb. Mrs. Garfield sank back in the carriage, while the aged mother of the President listen ed and watched intently the services that followed. Carriages containing the members of the Cabinet, the pall-bearers, and the inti mate friends of the dead President were driven close to the tomb. The pall-bearers were Sec retary Blaine, and Colonels Rockwell and Swain. The two oldest sons of the President stood under the shroud of mourning. TFE LAST SCENE OF ALL. A funeral ode was beautifully rendered by the Gesang Verein, Frohlnn Harmonle,< ana Orphans Singing Societies of Cleveland. Rev. J. H. Jones, Chaplain of the 42d Ohio Regi ment, spoke briefly of his dead friend and com rade. He was twice overcome bv emotion. Prayer and benediction were offered by Presi dent B. A. Hinsdale of Hiram College, The members of the Cabinet were given an oppor tunity to visit the tomb before it was closed to them forever.
