IiI WASHINOTON , September ( ! . At
exactly 0:30 : o'clock this forenoon the
president started from thu Baltimore
& Potomac depot on his triu to Long
Branch. Ho was wide awake and
.sensible and appeared fully cognizant
of what was going on , and had berne
the transfer from tlio white house re
markably well batter , indeed , than
anyone anticipated and according to
the unanimous verdict wf those with
him ho had improved in every way
from the time he was carried from the
sick room. His pulse oven decreased
from 100 to 93 during the journoy.
It was a wierd funeral-like trip

of early morning , through quiet
streets , with the sun just
breaking the darkness , The
pcoplo partook of the quietness ,
and though the sidewalks trom thu
white house to the depot were lined
with peopH and crowds assembled at
either end of the route , not a sound ,
hardly a whisper , was allowed to
break the stillness as the conveyance
bearing the wounded president moved
slowly along. The scones about both
the depot and white house during the
night werestrikiug. Attholatterplace ,
for the fust time since the shooting ,
the entrance gates to the grounds
were closed even to correspondents.
At 10 o'clock scores of newspaper
men and citizens hunt ; about the
gates fearful that the president would
bo removed secretly.

through the night by the light of lan
terns completing tlio extension of

the operation until it was completed
At an early hour people began
to pour into tlio streets am

At each intersecting street alon

extra precautions to keep back the
crowd had been taken by stretching
ropes along the side walks , fencing ii
a largo space so the train was kopl
free of all but officials and reporters.
The people , filled with the spirit of the
hour , were kept quiet and refrained
from any demonstration. At 5:20 : the
train was backed on the extension
track around on to the avenue. It
consisted of engine 508 , a baggage car
> and the special palace cars numbers
t 208 , a.'J and 120. A pilot en
gine , number 5 , took up
a place about ono hundred feet in ad
vancc. Each engine was manned
with an engineer and two firemen and
the conductors and brakemon.

As soon as the train came to
standstill , a few minutes before
o'clock , u carriage came rapidly down
the street and was driven up to the
side of the train , and Mrs. Garfield
alighted and entered the car espe
cially prepared for her occupancy.
Drs. Agnew , Woodward and Barnes
passed bowinp through the conc' u
of the people and entered car 'iO , the
one reserved for the president. Mrs.
Garfield was accompanied by her
daughter , Miss Mollie , Mrs. and Miss
Itockwull , and Mrs. Dr. Susan Edson.
Mrs. Garfiuld passed into the car
and took her place at the window
from which she could look down the
nvonuo ,
A TOUUIIIXfJ SKJ1IT.
A few seconds later all eyes were
turned from her pale face to an indis
tinct object looming upin the half mile
distance. It was the conveyance in
which the president was being con
voyed to the train It in'ovcd at a
very slow pace , and was fully ten min
utes in traversing the distance be
tween the treasury building at the
head of the avenue and Sixth street
where the train was stationed. Ten
police marched on each side of the
wagon , and as it moved along the
{ citizens on each sidewalk quietly and
' . . reverently removed their huts and fell
3 * .j Into liiiosomoilistvuico behind after the
wason passed. The horses which drew
the wagon were selected for their stea
diness , and weio driven by ono of the
most trusted drivers in the Express
company's employ.
Till : I'UKKIDKNT'h1 AITHAUANC'K. '
As the wagon noarcd the train the
first conspicuous person scon was Dr.
'Bliss who was hanging on to the outer
side of the wagon mopping his face
with his handkerchief. Then as the
vehicle came closer uthor figures were
recognized. Sergeant Donsmoro nm
Steward Crump sat on thu front seaf
with the driver and through tin
open sides of the storm curtains whicl
wcro raised W3ro seen Gen. Swahn
Col. Rockwell , Col. Corbin and Doc
tors Koyburn and 13oynton , the latter
tor seated at the president's head
But the Jlguro most earnestly regard
ed was that of the president himself
although it was not until the ambn
l.inco came very near that ho could bt
distinguished. _ At the first glimpst
several women in the largo concomw
moaned in sympathy , but the noisi
was promptly chocked. The form o
the president lay on the bed 01
which ho lias passed so muiij
weary hours , and . was cov
ured to the chin , leaving hi !
face exposed. About the top of hii
head was a white bandage ami n rol !
of cotton batting was placo.l undci
his right jaw , where the patotidtwol !
im ; had disfigured him. In the din
gray light his face looked ghostly
The skin was of n livid color , tin
checks wcro hollow and the nose \nv
pinched. Ho was lying on his bad
l nd his eyes were open and looking
out straight abend. Only when thej
moved from side to side was then
evidence that it was other than t
corpse that was lying there , so stil
and apparently lifeless. Yet it couli
bo seen that ho was wide awake ani
keenly conscious of what was goiiu
on , seeming ] ) ' in full possession of hii
senses.
As was afterwards learned ho hai
passed a quiet though somewhat rest' '
less night looking forward hopefully
however , to his removal in the morn
ing. At 5 o'clock ho was awake am
was given some nourishment , consist'
ing of beef extract , prepared by Ins
wife , and brought to him by her , anci
an oncma of the usual ingredients.
It was ten minutes to six when the
vehicle left the white house gate and
ten minutes after that hour when it
arrived at the train. Hero tlio wagon
was drawn up along side , and the
horao3 taken from it , after which a
detail of artillery of Gen. Ayrcs1 com
mand from the aisenal seized the
wheels and the tongue and backed it
gently against the open doors of the
ear.
ear.A
A little delay occurred hero , it re
quiring three attempts before the
wagon was squarely backed up so aa
to permit of the easy passage of the
latter through the car door. While
these attempts were beiug made all
eyes were on the picsideiit and those
with him in the wagon. The latter
all looked pale and anxious especially
Dr. Boynton who sat at the president's
head with a fan in his hand. The presi
dent himself did not move but rolled
his eyes from side to side.
Ho seemed impatient over the unlucky
controtempts. Soon , however , the
wagon was in position , and then the
cot was lifted to bo carried in. Hero
another unfortunate accy/icut occurred :
The cot , by some means , was jolted
roughly against the jamb ot the door ,
shaking the president severely and
causing his eyes to fairly bump in his
hpad. A moment after the cot was
inside and the president was quietly
lifted on the mattress and laid on the
bed arranged in the car.
Hardly had ho been laid down when
Mrs. Garfield , who had watched the
ambulance from its appearance , was
at his side and gently fanning him.
Dr. Boynton immediately took a
chair at the foot of the bed. Dr.
Bliss felt of the pulse and found it
had decreased five boats from the
time of leaving the sick room. Ho
communicated this fact to those in
the car , and in a moment the news
had found its way to the outside and
was quickly passed around among the
people.
At 0:20 : Dr. Bliss , standing in the
loot of the president's ' car , waved a
jignal to the engineer to start and the
train pulled slowly to the end of the
newly laid track.
There it stopped a few minutes to
iwait the incoming train from Now
i'ork , but at 0:40 : orders wcro again
, 'ivon to go ahead , and the train slow-
y glided out on the main track and
n a few moments was out of sight.
Before leaving , Col. Corbin in-
'ormed the reporter of the National
Yssociatod Press that the president
lad improved from the moment ho
massed the portal of the white house.
Dr. Bliss corrob rated this und added
, lmt the president Nooinod in a good
: ondition to bear the trip. This was
Jio last official bulletin from the pres-
dent's attendants before ho left
iVashington.

Superintendent McOrpa , under

and clear of all obstruction.
LON BUANCH , N. J. , Sept. ( > .
TJie president's train reached Elberon
at just u quarter past ono , Long
Branch time. The president's car was
in the middle of the train. Those on
board , besides railroad men , were
Mrs. Garfield , Miss Mollie Garfield ,
Col. llockwcll , Mrs. lloekwcll , Miss
Rockwell , Dra. Agnew , Bliss , Boynton -
ton , Gen. Swain , private secretary
Brown , Mrs. Dr. Susan Edson , Stew
art Crumb and the bun-nuts. And
when the train reached the end ot the
special track on Lincoln uvonuo it was
stopped. The first car containing the
ladies and servants was pushcduround
to the end of the track on the cast
side of Franklyn collage. Tlio occu
pants were assisted out and welcomed
in the cottage by Mrs. MacVcagh who
came yesterday
Meanwhile a hundred willing ones
stepped forward from the waiting
crowds , and the president's car was
also pushed around to the balcony o
tlio cottage where an awning was
spread to protect the bed from the sun
and from the view of the crowds. A
small squad of soldiers easily kept
back the multitude. Tlio president
was moved into the cottage without
annoyance , and his bed was adjusted
in the upper south end chamber.
Dr. Bliss Haid that the pulse , when
lost taken , hud been down to 102.
During the trip ho said the president
liud had no vomiting on the road , and
liad passed a better day thus far than
yesterday.
Col , Corbin stated that after their
urival the president was thought to
bo better this afternoon than yostor-
] ay , notwithstanding tlio journey.
lie said that the president had stood
iho journey first i.ito , and wan in good
minor all tlio way , and at one place ,
when u proposition was made to uivu
lim -spDiigo bath , ho suid : "Go
ihead ; progress is of more use than a
bath. "
Col. Corbin said that the usual
routine of the day had not varied on
, ho train. The president took his
lourishmont as usual and had no an-
loyanco in any way. Mrs. Garfield
ind Miss Nellie stood the journey
Yell also. Tlio former had a pleasant
unilo.on her face as she greeted Airs
vraoVeagh. All along the road , not
inly at tlio villages hut at the couu-
ry crossings were crowds of people
vaiting for the train as it passed. All
loiso was avoided and not a sound
vas made.
This has been the most beautiful
lay in the history of the president's
aso and it liun turned out to be on-
irely satisfactory. The removal of
ho president from the White House
o Long Branch has boon looked on
s a very great undertaking , and while
L was acknowledged to bo a ncccssi-
y , it was undertaken , of course ,
i'ith less fear of
more or consoquon-
cs ,
"But , " says ono who accompanied
im on the trip , "OH uoou as the
resident was safely in the wagon

All is ready for the reception of the

Attorney-General MacYcagh ia the
only representative of the govern
ment hero. Ho expects the presi
dent's ' train hero by J p. in. His pri
vate dispatches indicate that the presi
dent is standing tlto journey well.
The president's pulse was 115 when ho
reached the Washington depot but fell
to 101 before ho reached Haltimoro ,
Dr. V. 11. Hamilton came down fiom
Now York at 10 a. in. Ho said ho had
no doubt that the president would
stand the journey well , and that it
would dn him good. There is a land
brcc/o horj to-day , but the atmos
phere is far preferable to that in
Washington. A lartre crowd has col
lected at Elberon station and at the
president's cottage , waiting tor the
train. Bulletins ot the National As
sociated Press are posted at the west
end of the hotel.
Since there were no lepresentativoa
of the press on board , the public are
indebted to the members of the party ,
particuhuly Secretary Drown , for the
following details of the trip'The : train
all the way through , was in charge of
Mr. T. N. Ely , superintendent of the
motive paworof tlw PonnpjlvaniaCen-
tral railroad , assisted by Mr. Charles'
Watts and others. There were now
crews for each division of the road.
The train run slowly who-n it first
started out , making about thirty miles
an hour. The motion of the train
had liltlo.pr no effect on the presi
dent , and it was found unnecessary to
disturb him until Palapsco was reach
ed. Hero a stop was made at 7:20 : a.
in. for water , and the opportunity
was taken by the surgeons to examine
the parotid gland. At that time the
pulse was 1012 , temperature and respi
ration about normal. The train pass
ed through Baltimore without stop
ping. The second stop was made at
Bay Ariow , north of Baltimore. Hero
the usual morning dressing of the
wound was made , and it was found to
have sullercd no derangement from
travel and-to be doing well. After
leaving Hay View the train was push
ed at a rate of fifty miles an hour , the
track being very straight and in gooil
condition.
The high rate of speed did not cause
more vibration to the car and bed than
the slow rate. All along the road the
president's pulse was of a good char
actor. At ! ) :30 : the president swal
lowed three ounces of beef extract.
At 10:10 : a brief stop was made at
Somokin for coal. Tin's was the only
time coal was taken on the trip. The
same locomotive drpw the train cleat-
through from Washington to Elberon
At 10:30 : a stop of thirty minutes was
made at Grey Ferry for water , and
nnothoy stop for the sumo purpose at
11:25 : , at Tullytown. After leaving
Trenton the train was pushed more
rapidly than at any other timo. Ono
mile was made in fifty-five noconds ,
and an extraordinary upeed was kept
up all the way to Monmouth Junction ,
whoio the road was good. It was
iound that the faster thu train
ran the less were the oscillations of
the bed and the president seemed ul
30 to like it Ho talked very little on
the way , The train was urn in six
lionra and foity minutes.
All of thu physicians gave the people
plo who crowded around the car as
uinmco.'i that the president had stood
, ho journey well and that his stomach
> vas in excellent shape. Thu car in
vliich ho lay was pushed around to
bo awning and ho was carried to a
urge chamber on the second fioor of

The built tin issued at seven o'clock
aunouiicinLj the remarkably high pulsr
of the president caused considerable
incitement , as the people had conn
to expect , from the low degree ol
pulse during the journey that it would
not increase after his arrival. Tin
physiciunB and attendants , however ,
do not express nny nlniiu and credit
the high pulse nolely to fatigue , winch
would naturally show itself after tin
journey was over.
Hlaino cabled to Lowell to-night
concerning the piosidout's jnuriu'j
and added that the patient complaineil
that his back had a bruised feeliuir ,
but that n favorable change from the
ocean air was expected in a day 01

next sixty hours are awaited with solid'
hide. I
Tliu momhera of the cabinet ami
their families all arrived at Lonu
Branch to-day and will remain until
the condition of the president ia set
tled.
Secretary Lincoln said that it looked
very unfavorable to him. Senrctary
Windom builds hopes on the state
ment of the physicians that there ia a
prospect of better things to-morrow.
fhe location of the president's cottage
makes it exceedingly difficult to get
information f.iom the sick room later
than bed time
The latest information from the sick
room was brought by Drown , who at

reported that the pulse had fallen to
118 , and thu temporal uro was not
much above the normal. The presi
dent had then boon asleep moro than
an hour. It will bo impossible to gut
furlhor information from the siclc
room to-night , unles.n there is a change
for the worse.

Lieut. Glass and a company of
thirty-three men arrived here this

have. Wo had an alarm thia evening
which proved a false one , but while
oilt with Indian scouts I found In

and the whole of Yumaa and Molmvcs
came up for the same purpose. I believe -

t'omo with ammunition I can stand ofl
all thu hostilcs that want to come. I
say this so as not to embarrass you in
moving your other available troops to

Nothing has been heard from Camp

an attack on Camp The mad was re
pulsed , but it is not known , It was
occupied by a military company and
cont'iined largo quantities of ammuni
