A .TOL'KNKY OF SORROW.

Coi.L-MIU s. ()., Fell. 21.—At all stations along1 the line, and even at dreary cross-roads crowds of people have stood with heads bowed and uncovered in the cold rain as the train shot past bearing the remains of Ceneral Slierman. As the funeral train neured Pittsburgh and the road crossings became more numerous, group after group of people were to be seen standing unmindful of the rain, only intent on honoring in tlieir Humble way the remains of the hero of "tlio march to the sea." When tlie train drew into Allegheny City station the great crowd uncovered heads, the bands struck up a dirge and the veterans first laid their tattered army Hags beside the casket, followed by a lovely floral emblem from the Union Veterans' Legion. A lieavily-druped engine drew up to take tlie place of ii similarly clad locomotive that had ended its run. Tlie Eighteenth Regiment band played a soldiers' requiem. "Kest." and the train started on its sad journey.

At Dennison. O.. a large crowd was gathered at the station, and the comrades of Welch Post No. 4'J'J, Grand Army of the liepnblic of llhrichville, O., were there also to pay a final tribute to the remains of their former commander. The door of the funeral car was opened and they were allowed to take a look at the casket- After a short stop here the train resumed its journey passing many small way stations where were gathered the residents of the places and generally several old soldiers. At some of these small towns the local band was at the depot and played a dirge as the train passed.

At Xew Comerstown all the pnblicschool children stooil in a line at the street crossing, with heads uncovered and carrying small llags edged with black. At Coshocton over J0U school children stood in one long line on the street running parallel with the track. While the train passed through the place the church and fire bells of the town were tolled. A similar demonstration was made at Trinway, which place was reached at lvjiijo, but no stop was made. At 12:50 the train stopped in front of the station at Newark. I.einert Post. (Jrand Army of the Republic, had about 100 men in line on the platform and their fife and drum corps played '"In the Sweet Hy and By" as the train came to a stop. The doors of the car in which the body was were opened and the veterans passed liy, each one taking a look at the casket as lie passed.

The entire trip from Pittsburgh to this point had been interspersed with demonstrations of sorrow at the death of a universally beloved soldier and citizen by all classes of people. The family of Genera) Sherman themselves became, as tlie day

passed

mid these signs of sor­

row multiplied, more and more impressed with the great love the people bore for tlieir lost one.

Columbus was reached at 2:25. As the train rolled into the Union station the space on either side was crowded with people, and for squares away there was a solid m'siss struggling to get a view of the train. The comrades of JleCoy Post and Wells Post, G. A. R., were in the station accompanied by a drum corps. There was no demonstration, but the people crowded in so as to get a view of the casket through the open doors.

Senator Sherman, ex-President llayes. General Kwing and others of the party came from the train and had a brief talk with relatives near Columbus who had come to the train. The otllcers from the United .States garrison in this city were at the train to meet, the Government officials, and especially those representing tlio War Department. Quite a number of tlie relatives of the dead General from Lancaster and Zanesville joined the party at this point. The parade of the military took place before the arrival of the funeral train. The .Seventeenth Regiment.. Colonel l'ocock, about 500 men. reached the Union depot a half-hour previous and proceeded by the Baltimore A- Ohio and Ohio & Mississippi to St. Louis. The Fourteenth Regiment, Colonel A. 11. Colt, about the same number of men. left at the same time over the "Uig Four" route. The members of Governor Campbell's staff accompanied the oflicers of the Fourteenth Regiment, but the Governor did not go. The members of the joipt legislative committee designated to attend the funeral had a special car which was hitched on to the regular "Pan-Handle" train following tlie funeral train.

A wait of forty-five minutes was given the funeral train at Columbus, during which there was a crowd of 20,000 people gathered in the vicinity, the majority of whom only secured a glance at the train at a distance owing' to the blackadc. The train left at 3:15 p. m.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 21.—Milford Center was the first station passed west of Columbus. A salute was fired by a company of Grand Army veterans at the depot. Xo stop was made there nor at Woodstock, where the members of Henry M. Davis Post, Grand Army of the Republic, were drawn up in along line on the platform. At each of these stations as the train nasscd the doors of

the funeral car were opened so iiint the veterans might catch a glimpse of the casket containing the remains of their old commander. Urbana was readied at 5 o'clock. Nearly !!,000 persons were gathered at the sta'^'on, and in front of them was a line of veterans standing at present arms. The bell of a chureli near the railroad was tolled and a cannon boomed fortli a salute.

The rain was falling in torrents and a high wind blowing when the town of St. Paris was reached at 5:S0 o'clock. Flags could be seen at half-mast on many buildings. The school and church bells were tolling. A big crowd, including a company of Grand Army men and one of Sons of Veterans were at the railroad depot. In the big square opposite the depot were many farmers' wagons, each one having its compliment of people. No one seemed to mind the heavy rain that was falling —all their thoughts seemed to be centered on the passing train and its precious freight.

Just as dinner Was over tlie city of Richmond. Ind.,''was reached. Richmond is right at the State line, and it was here that Governor Hovey saw fit to meet the remains and escort tliem to Indianapolis. lie was accompanied by Grand Commander Stormount of the Grand Army. It was the people of Richmond that gave the train the grandest reception of any it had received since it left New York. Jlore than 10,000 people were at the station to meet it. The inside of the depot was literally packed and tlie big squares at either end were in tlie some condition. A band in the depot played a tlirg as the train entered the station. Sol Meredith Post 155, Grand Army of the Republic, in whose charge the reception was, had over 200 men in line. Besides them were several companies of the Richmond Light Guards, Sons of Veterans and a delegation from the Woman's Relief Corps. A .handsome floral tribute from Sol Meredith Post was placed on the casket containing the body of General Sherman. As soon as the old soldiers on the platform heard that General Seliofield on the train tliey called for him. General Schofield came to the platform of his car and saw before him many members of his old command during the war. He said: "There are a thousand of my children here that I know. I am glad to see so many of you in good health.

It is under sad conditions that we meet. We have all lost a comrade and friend. Take good care of yourselves, boys, and good-bye.'' When General Schofield finished speaking the tears were rolling down the cheeks of many of the group of old soldiers in front of him. Many of the veterans came up and spoke of some engagement they had been in under him. Many of them had been with Genets. Sherman in his great march to tlie sea and spoke of that and asked for General Howard. Hut before General Howard could get out on the platform to speak to them the train started. That seemed to le a sign watched for, because it hardly begun to move before the boom of cannon was heard, the church bells begun to toll and tlie Richmond Light Guards fired a salute. Generals Howard and Schoticld stood on the platform as the train moved oil". Both were very much affected by the warm remembrance of the veterans. At Cambridge City, a small place between Richmond and lndianupolis, another gathering of the people was seen. A company of soldiers on the platform saluted the train with a volley from their rifles as the train passed by.

Indianapolis was reached at 10 o'clock. Extensive preparations had been made here for a fitting reception to the funeral train upon its arrival at the Union station. All the Grand Army of the Republic posts in the city congregated at their several headquarters and with the local and State militia inarched to the city hull, where brief but appropriate exerciscs were held. These concluded, the vast assemblage of 15.000 people followed the parade of 2.000 soldiers and civilians down to the station, where they awaited tlie arrival of the three trains. Not less than 5,0011 people thronged the spacious train sheds, waiting-rooms and approaches to the station, and tlie streets were crowded with people anxious to get a glimpse of the funeral train.

At exactly lu o'clock the funeral train arrived at tin- depot, and as the express car in which were the dead General's remains went slowly by thousands of people stood with uncovered heads. The train having arrived on time. it remained one hour iu the Union station, and the great throng, continuously ou the move, got a close view of 'lie casket. On tlie approadi of the train a salute of seventeen artillery guns was lired. l't.-Kev. Itisliop Cliatard. of Vincennes. and Father Gavisk were seen for a few minutes on the train by the General's sons and daughters. The funeral train was met here by a special from Columbus, O., bearing twelve companies of Ohio militia under command of Colonel Coit. l'llErAlIATIONS AT ST. 1.0UIS.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.—As it is now understood, between 8 and 9 o'clock this morning the. train bearing the remains of General Sherman will arrive at the Union depot in this city.

Mayor Noonan has issued a proclamation, in which he says: "The occasion of the burial ot Goncrnl Sherman Is an event that touehes the heart of every citizen, and no tciiturc should be omitted that will tend to signify the respecl and affection in which the Mu»trlous dead was hold In this his home.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.

A AVeaMliy Stockman lit l.eicb, Neb., KIUh 111k Wife, tin ICinploye. ami Thou CutH 111k Throat.

LKIOII. Neb., Feb. 21.—The entire community was aroused Friday ever a bloody tragedy in tlie family of William McCubbin, a wea'thy stockman, which resulted in the husband blowing his wife's brains out, shooting his hired man, Frank Yots, to death and cutting his own throat. The crime was committed as the result of a vague rumor that Yots was too intimate with Mrs. McCubbin. After the double murder McCubbin called his little 5-year-old daughter, who had witnessed the affair, and giving her his pocket-book and keys told her to go and live with her grandmother, as she would never see papa and mamma again. When the frightened child departed the frenzied man seized a butcher knife and nearly severed his head from the body. The murderer's corpse was found an hour later lying across those of his victims who had fallen on the floor. A shotgun and revolver were used to do the bloody work. The gun charge tore the wife's face
