O THE JOURNEY tROll ]
WASHINGTON TO CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND , Sent. 24. The pro
gress of the funeral train of tlio late
president through the country be
tween Washington nnd Clovelnnd will
bo remembered by those who saw it !
or participated in it to the longest !
day of their lives as the most remark I
able occurrence of the kind in the !
history of any country. The multi' '
tudo which lined the track almost con
tinuouslv 'during the whole distance
gave full evidence of the great woe
which they really felt had befallen the
nation. The incidents of the trip , as
detailed in those dispatches this after
noon , show the more peculiar interest
taken by a largo number.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ADDITIONS ]
to the train was that made by Gov.
.Foster's party , whoso trip in itself was
quite a feature of the day. It was 2
o'clock Saturelay morning before Gov.
Foster's party , comprising the chief
state and federal departments , left
Columbus for Wellsvillo to meet the
funeral train and direct its progress to
its final destination. Tlio party con
sisted of twenty-eight people and oc
cupied the Pullman car "Lu/.erne. "
It was handsomely draped and bore on
cither side a representation of thej
state seal. At Mingo Junction the
car was detached from the regular
train and was drawn by a special on
ffine.to Wellsvillo , 'reaching there at
-7:15. -
TOR MILES BEFORE REACHING THE CITY
people could be observed iu front of
farm houses and seated on embank
ments watching the progress of the
executive escort. After breakfast at
Wellsvillo the funeral train came in
Tlew. Every building within sight }
presented appropriate emblems of
sorrow , and the entire population
lined the track. Just before the de
parture , the section following the funeral
noral train also reached AVellsvillo ,
and several senators debarked and
conversed with the lady occupants of
iho mourning car.
TUB EXECUTIVE 1'AUTV
were hastily transferred to the funeral
train nnd alloweel to occupy any , , car
excepting the mourning carat the rear
and the ono where the casket waa
JS"o formal delivery of the train to the
control of Gov. Foster was mado.
General Sherman , with Secretaries
MacYeagh and Blaine standing near ,
remarked that it would now bo regarded - ,
garded in charge of the governor ofi
the native state of iho illustrious dead.1
The private car of President Dan. P.
Eels , of the Ohio Central road , was
assigned to Gov. Foster , but there
was a promiscuous Beating of iho oc
cupants of the train for the rest of
the journey.
TUB MANIFESTATIONS OF ORIEF
along the whole route were most' '
touching. In fields nnd on hill tops
men , women and children were ;
atationod and tears could bo seen trick
ling down their cheeks. At stations
the uncovering of heads was generally
observed nnd hats were held in hand
during the passage of the cortege ,
Ono scone much remarked was when
the train was nearing Bayard and
threading a largo field of corn. In
the centre of the field and far remote
from the tram a grey-ha'red farmer
could o discerned with head bared
and bowed iu grief. When stops were
made ladies crowded toward the train
and made inquires for the car which
Mrs. Garfield occupied. Mon asked :
the occupants of iho cars where the
coffin was placed.
AT ROOTHVU.LK
Gen. Hancock was recognized byj
several who crowded forward to grasp
his hand. Ho was courteous , but
evidently sought to repress their desire
sire to pay him distinctive attention. !
AT ALLIANCE
two hundred employes at Morgan , !
Williams & Co.'a were drawn up in
line with uncovered heads. The
throng at the depot was so great that
the crowd lines had io bo stretched.
Where thu train first entered iho old
congressional district of the late president
idont the
THIIIUTEH OF AFFECTION AND GRIEF
were moro marked. Dwellings and
business establishments were elabor
ately draped , and above nearly every
dwelling entrance was suspendoda portrait
trait of the elcad president , shrouded
in crape , aud bolls tolled.
AT HUDSON
a beautiful archway extended over the
track. From Newburg to Euclid
avenue station were miles of dense
masses of humanity , nil testifying in
some manner the depth of their oino-l
tions , Fully two hours before thu
time of arrival at the station General
Sherman ordered the army and navy
officers to don full uniforms and be-
? nn giving instructions for the manner -
nor of doing escort duty.

liana was grasped by UoV. ,1. II. Jones
.itid a conversation ensued which , in
terpreted by the impression made ,
seemed to snow Hint words of comfort
were spoken to young Gar field , whose
mntlly bearing was remarked by all.
Just before reaching Euclid nvenuo
station the boya of the Hebrew or
phan asylum wcro stationed in line
: itong the front of the building hold

THE riiorLK IMMEDIATELY SUHUOVMDED

juiot , but as the cars covered with the
heavy folds of drapery drew into
sight there came up from
that grt'at throng ail audible

In an instant ovcry head was uncov
ore'd , liio military and Templars pro
sontcd arms , and the guard of honor ,
consisting of the fourteen officers of
the United States nrmy and navy , in
full unitorm , alighted and formed in
loublo'rank at the side of the second
coach. Without delay .tha military
bearers lifted the casket bearing
THE DEAD PRESIDENT ,
which was covered with rich iloral
tributes , and carried it on their [
shoulders to the hoarse , the band
playing a dirge. Then came the cabi
net officers and their wives and other
tjovirnment officials. The ladies wor
'n deep mourning , and the gentlemen ,

UEVEKBNTLY IIOWED THEIK HEADS.
Following came Dr. and Mrs. Boyn

the arm of her son Harry , and accom
panied by Secretary Blaino. Miss
nlollio and the other members of the
family followed and wont direct to
the carriages in waiting. Mrs. Gar-
field's features were seen through the
icavy veil shot woro. The senators ]
And representatives that were on the

brought up the rear.

making the necessary arrangements.
Mrs. Garfield and family were driven
to the residence- Hon. James Ma-

family had gone , and the casket had
been secured , the hoarse was drawn
by a pair of
BEAUTIFUL BLACK lIOR-SKrf
down the avenue toward the files ofi [
soldiers and Knight Templars , who
were drawn up on the west side of the
avenue and faced east , with heads
bared and Reverently bowed.

police , but at first there was trouble
in keeping the avenue clear. The ,
wide walks and parking , the extensive
lawns and commodious residences fully ]
accommodated oven the
ENOHMOUH CUOWDH

distance no interruption occurred ,
although the crowds rushed along1

ident GnrlioM ho in state , is proba
bly the finest temporary structure of
its kind ever erected. It is locotcd iu
tlio center ot the square nt the inter
section of Superior nnd Ontario
streets , nnd is forty feet square nt the
iBbnso , tlio four fronts nro spanned by
arches 'M feet high and 24 feet widen !
the base ; the catafalque upon which
the casket rests is 5A feet high , anil
covered with black velvet nnd hand-
jsomcly festooned ; a long carpeted
I walk runs tb the floor from the cast
Amd west fronts ; the pavillion is 22
[ foot high to the apex ol
[ the roof ; from the center of
the roof rises a beautiful gilt sphere.
The columns nt each side of the
'arches ' are ornamented by shields of a
beautiful design , and exquisitely
draped over these are suspended un
furled lings. The centres of the
arches bear similar shields. On the
angles of the roofs are groups of flags.
Projecting from the angles of the
base arc elevated platforms occupied
by fully uniformed guards. Each
platform is provided with a suitable
piece of field artillery. The structure
is appropriately decorated from base
to dome with black and white
crape. Flowers and flags are displayed
in various positions of the interior ,
which is decorated with rare plants ,
choice flowers and exquisite floral designs -
signs , two car loads of which arrived
from Cincinnati. It is a maguini-
pient piece of work both in
design and execution. The morning
train from Cincinnati brought the
president of the Cincinnati exposition ,
Air. Galbreath , accompanied by' foui
Tcommissioners , who bring with them
[ two car loads of flowers ,
CINCINNATI'S FLORAL TRIBUTE.

Moms , having been prepared a great
Jcost tc * the exposition pud citizt > ni ,
Vand are .the work of the most skilled
[ florists of the country Eight huge
Iwagons wcro required to transport
them , from the depot to the pavilion.
[ The display numbers a hundred or
moro pieces , some , and indeed many
of them from three to five feet in
height , and composed of Mio finest
white flowers the greenhouses can
produce. Roses , , balsams , late roses ,
alyssum , candytuft , rhynchospormuin , !
jessamine , ferns , milax and all that is' '
delicate and lovelj in the floral wbrld.
One of the most noticeable is a piece
sent by the city government of Cin
cinnati , in the form of the
seal of the city of Cincinnati.
This is circular in form and made of a
shield of white immortels , on which
is worked in dark pomporon red. Tno
scales of justice , the caducius and' '
sword are made in block , together !
with the motto "Juncta "
, juvant , of
the city. The shield is surrounded
by a border of purple , some five or
six inches in diameter , m which in
gold colored immortels appear the
words "City of Cincinnati. " The
whole , resting on a beautiful silver
shield , ia ono of the most charming
creations. An arch of lovely white
flowers beneath and within which are
swing gates partly opened. The base
is formed of smilax and lovely white
flowcra "The Gates "
, typifying Ajar ,
with the deep and touching signifi
cance that all this implies , The whole
piece rusts' on a floral mount and is
with the delicate and fragrant white' '
roses balsam , decorations and tube
roses , of which it ia chiefly
composed , ono of the
greatly notably and new devices fern
fronds as delicate an a dream aliston
with their tender green amidst the
white flowers and give a tout ensem
ble that is impossible in meru words
to describe. A lovely harp of the
beautiful poetic form of tlio harpist of
Wales fignifiod the Welsh origin of
the dead president , io whom this mo-
niento is intended as a iributo ; a har
vest field with iho straw stubble
charmingly rendered , is bordered by n
white edge of palo white flowers in
which in purple immortels is em
broidered the legend , "Gathered in a
sheaf of grain , " stands in iho centre
of the field , and a sickle of delicate
flowers lies beside it. The concert and
motto are appropriately beautifully
wrought out. A masonio crown of fair
white flowers , crossed with the cross
of Christianity in scarlet geranium
flowers is another lovely piece.
A. malieso cross near fout
foot across , still another with itn
inns of white and the center of delicate
cato green , a monument hoar five foot
high , consisting of its marble bare and
broken shaft in white flowers. Yet !
another notable piece , a cinerary urn' '
standing on a pedestal is still more
beautiful , and wrought in flowers ,
moro lovely than words can toll n
{ roen cross of ivy loaves , smilax and
rern typifies "Faith , Hope nnd Char-
ty , " with its white anchor loaning
againnt the foot and a crimson heart
pressed to iho center of its spreading
arms ; a classic lyre , some four or five
Boot high , leans aqainst a green crest
of ivy and fern leaves. An open Bi
bio near four foot across is beauty it

urricd out to the entire satisfaction

TUB HTiUCKKN FAMILY.
Thi.usnnds walked by the residence
of Mr Mason , where Mrs. Gai-lleld
md her okildren nro accommodated ,
but not a glimpse could bo had of
her until she drove out to the ceme
tery. The rest of iho day she passed
in seclusion. Mother Garfield rested
quietly all day nt Mrs. Bholton's , receiving
coiving only a few members of the
family. She is much moro composed
than yesterday and there is no doubt
that slip will bear to-morrow's ordeal
nobly. Among these who called on
her was her grandson , James ,
who left a sick bed nt
Williams college to attend the funeral.
His malarial sickness has made n
'groat ' change in his appearance. The
healthy looking beiy is very much at
tenuated nnel his usually robust fea
tures are palo and weary looking. To
morrow is liis day for a chill , too. He
will not go bauk io colic-go until he ]
has entirely recovered. Grandma's
[ advanced.ago makes her feel this blow ]
the moro heavily. Her consolation
lies in iho fact that she has not much
longer to remain in this vale of
tears and then she will bo reunited to
the ono whom she loved so long and
( jo well and who was .more than'a son
to her. Inliim , she seemed to live and
now that' ho js no moro thorp is
no ijoy o h earth'remaining. .
Attorney-General MaoVcagh , Private
Secretary Brown , ( Ion. SwUitn and
Col. Rockwell have been busy nmkinp

of iho family at iho funeral and tlioir
