The body lay In state from 1:10 o'clock In the u'ternoon until 10 o'clock at night and not catc during the hours was there a break or halt in the lines which patsed rapidly by on the right and left of the casket. It was Indiana's day with Its dead and nc. touchlngly was the csteeem and honor in which General Harrison wag held by his fellow citizens revealed. In front of the Harrison home, along the streets through wht h the remains were carried on their way to and from the state house. In the Ktca that, stretched at times a half mile frcm the doors of the capltol, men. women and children stood tor hours waiting their crportunlty to pay a tribute of respect to the dead. It was an lmmcne throng, but cno more easy to handle, or rather one that requited less handling, never gathered any where. There was no Jostling, no disorder. no disturbance of any kind. Not a single otjectlonable feature marred the day. The weather as perfect. Mnrt to Mnte llue. The hour set for the formation ot the pa rade frcm the state house to the Harrison home to receive the body and return with It to the state house was 10:30 and promptly at the time set the Infantry and artillery were drawn up In Washington street on the south side of the state house. At 10:4 Drlgadlcr General W. J. MeKce. command lng the state troops, ordered the advance and quickly wheeling Into line the Infantry poured In a long stream along Washington street on Its way to the house. A denso throng had gathered around the Harrison home on Delaware street hours before the procession appeared. Down Del aware street much farther than the eye could reach the crowd paeked the sidewalks to the doors ot the residences along each s!Je cf the way. By 11 o'clock part of the second division of the funeral procession bad formed near Thirteenth and Delaware streets. General Carnaban, the marshal, and his staff, mounted and attired In citizen's clothing ot plain black, directed the movements of the various organizations as tbey took positions to await the approach of the other division, which was on Its woy from the capltol The Boys' brigade, soldiers of the future, erect, with even step, were first past the staff. The Seventieth regiment, General Harrison's eld command,' soldiers whose fighting days have gone, came next and waited tor the moment Mhen ' they should have the place of hontr6ehlnd the fu neral Car. Georgt! 11. lUWflas post,GTana Army of the Republic, many ot the mem bers of which had fought with General Har rlson during the war. waited lu its turn. The Columbia and Marlon clubs, with John L. Griffiths and Judge Lawson M. Harvey led the clubs as they passed General Carna ban and staff. IIItliiRulahel Men In Line. Then came an hour's wait, during which a number of distinguished men mingled with the crowds in the street. The tall figure of Senator Charles W. Fairbanks came up Thirteenth street. With John B. Klam he stood and talked for half an hour, then they were Joined by Judge Woods and the three greeted Senator Albert J. Bever- Idge, who came a little later. As the bar association ot Marlon county passed the two senators bowed gravely to the nu merous silent greetings tbey received. Inside the house, the magnificent casket draped with the banner of the Loyal Legion, had been closed for the time being and was ready tor the Journey to the capltol. On the casket was a large wreath ot Scotch heather and orchids, the tribute of Gen eral Harrison's daughter, Mary Harrison McKee. The drawing room to the left of the reception hall, in which the casket was placed, was a mass of flowers. President McKlnley had sent a magnificent design ot Golden Gate roses and lilies ot the val ley from tb White House conservatory,, A great 'star.' filling one corner of the room, was from the servants of the house hold. A Masonic lodge of Indianapolis, composed ot Chinamen, sent a splendid tribute ot a harp and trumpets. A large basket ot azaleas came from the state officers. The offering of the Seventieth regl- I ment was Its corps badge, a great star of blue Immortelles. Shortly before the undertaker completed ' his arrangements for the removal of the ' casket. Mrs. Harrison, with little Eliza beth, both attired In deep mourning, came In the apartment to vjew the face of their husband and father. Mrs. Harrison was composed, but showed plainly the traces of her deep Borrow. Mrs, Harrison re mained only a few minutes and then re tired to her apartment. After she had left the room an! just before the casket was taken way. Russell H. Harrison and his wife, with Mr. and Mrs. McKee, en tered the room and looked again at the face ot the dead. Old ."otillfr'a Llit Snlutr. Early In the morning Mrs, Harrison en tered the room where ber husband lay. to be alone with him tor probably the last time. As she stood in the darkened cham ber, the door of the room opened noise lessly and an old soldier, bent with age and shivering In the bitter cold of the morning, came slowly in. He did not see Mrs. Harrison and leaned over the dead face ana tears came to bis eyes. "Colonel," he said softly, and touched tho white band on the general's breast "Colonel." Mrs. Harrison came to where he was ctandlng and said: "I am Mrs. Harrison." "You will excuse me." the old man said, "for intruding on your grief, but I wanted to see my old commander once more Just once more. I have tried very hard to come to Indianapolis to see him when he was alive and never could. When I heard that he was dead I wanted to give him the old salute for the last time." and raising bis band to bis torcbead In true military fash ion the old man turned away and passed from the room. The Incident nearly over powered Mrs. Harrison and It was some time before she regained her composure. At a quarter to 1! o'clock General McKee ordered 5,500 infantrymen, standing at "at tention" on both sides of the street, to "present arms." and In the reverential hush which ensued the casket was carried from the house and placed In the funeral car Six sergeants from the Second regi ment of the statt militia and two ser geants from the Indianapolis light artil lery carried the casket. Admiral George Pron. representing the navy General Le Wallace, representing the army, and Judse Baker and Judge Dowling formed an eirort of honor which followed. the pallbearers from the residence to the hearse. The aged survivors of the Seventieth regiment marched to their place ot haor behind the hearse and when the old. bent soldiers of the civil war saw the black covered casket holding the body et their old friend and leader borne to the hearse many ot them were affecu-u. to tears. The Bar association aod the clubs marched slowly by with uncovered heads and took up their places in the procession Arriving at the state house the eseort was drawn up to one side and then, while the military presented arms, the drums rolled softly, the casket was borne Into the state house, where, surrounded by Its guard ot honor, with fixed bayonets. It reposed until night. Itrtiiriiril tn the llonir. The body of General Harrison was re turned to his home at 1130 tonight. It was 10:25 when the doors ot the state house were closed to the public. It then required an hour to remove the body from the state house to the hearse and make the trip to the house. The casket was carried from the state house by the same non-commis sioned officers ot the Notional guard who bad brought It In at noon. The body was escorted by a battery of artillery, three companies ot Infantry and a detachment ot police Three citizens, friends of General Harrison, watch the casket during the night.
