The special train bearing the re
mains ot Uen. Uawton, iuoor
Logan, and Dr. Armstrong,
passed through here shortly before
midnight Saturday, The train
consisted of a baggage car, a com
posite car and two Pullmans. The
caskets were in the composite car
which was beautifully draped with
American Hags. Ths caskets were
completely covered with flowers
and they were also banked up
agaiust the sides of the car. A
military escort consisting of a ser
geant, q trumpeter and two privates
guarded the remains." Mr. Lawton
and her four children, Mrs. Arm
strong. Mrs. Logan and a number
of relatives ot the ladies were
aboad the train. Mrs. Lawton and
the children have been journeying
'continuously since December when
they left Manila.
Lieutenant Breckinridge, the
officer whom General Lawton was
trying to assist when he lost his
life was a passenger on train No.
2 Sundayi en route to Washington
to attend the General's funeral.
The Lieutenant is still very weak
and ill from. the effect of his wounds
and the physicians were very much
averse to his leaving the hospital
but he felt that it was his duty to
pay a last tribute of respect to the
brave man who practically gave up
his life for him. He gave the train
men a very realistic description of
Gen. Lawton's death.
