beatifying it, the more than $200,000 already expended on it has made a great improvement. The primeval forest had to be cut down; thicket® never touched, with the idea of clearing them away, had to bo grubbed up and burned or carted away; the contour of the land •cape had to be modified here and there, rough places smoothed and low places drained or filled. Then followed the finer touches, which, of •curse. will be continued as the years go by. Cut even now a wonderful transformation has been wrought, and entering the grounds by a graded and paved roadway and footpath, cut through the dense undergrowth that borders either side, the viator is first impressed by the massive, but graceful, triple arch gateway, but now approaching completion, the funeral train of the Vicepresident being the first to pass through it This work and that of building the officers' lodge at the right of the gate, has been oroseeuted during the past summer, and is now neariog completion, though the association has not yet undertaken the work of finishing the approaches and the road leading from this new gate into the heart of the cemetery. This will follow, of course, but has naturally been held back to await the completion of the gateway. This gateway has three Qothic arches, constructed of oolitic limestone, from Bedford, this State, the same that has been used in the new State-house. The central arch is twelve feet six inches wide and forty-*even feet high. The side arches •re ten feet six inches wide and twenty feet high. The entire gateway and flanking parapets have a width of seventy-nine feet. To the right, immediately inside the gate, is the lodge, containing the superintendent’s office, a central hall for the accommodation of meetings of the corporators, and, to the left of these, a general waiting r.iora for the accommodation of the public. The structuro is Qothic, like the gate, built of pressed brick, with stone jsneaystie tile trimmings The floor of the entrance is laid in eucanstic tile, the interior floors being of oiled oak. The wood work of the interior is entirely of wild cherry, polished and oiled, while the ceilings and brackets supporting them are of oiled oak, beautifully carved, as are the heavy oaken beams in the paneled ceilings and the window and door facings. Each room is provided with an open grate, constructed with all the artistic accessories necessary in the way of encaustic tile, glazed tile in bass-relief and brass. The soperintendent’B office is equipped with a very large fire-proof vault for the accommodation of valnable papers connected with the cemetery. The gate and lodge were bnilt from designs furnished by Mr. Adolph Scherrer, and have been erected at a cost of about $50,000. by many who have seen them they are pronounced the finest yet built From the pate to Mississippi street, which it faces toward the east, is to be constructed a semi-circular parquet, and eastward still from this is to be opened and paved a roadwav 100 feet wide, across Tennessee and 111 inois streets, reaching to Meridian, from which the entrance to the cemetery will be made.

Passing the gat® and lode®, the visitor drive® over a roadway that takes him directly to the chapel, near the center of the grounds. This vras built in 1875, the architect being Mr. D. A. Bohlen. It is constructed of limestone. the walls being in rubble and the facings of cut stone. The interior consists of a chapel, with a receiving vault on either side. The pillars and arches to the roof are of cut stone and the entire structure is of the character. Its cost was $35. 000. The visitor is now in range of beautiful landscape, in whichever way the eye may turn. To the right and in the background, a auarter of a mile away, are the grassy slopes of Crown Hill, its summit easily accessible by a hard and smooth carriage-drive. Fine drives lead out to all parts of the cemetery, the white roadways winding in and out under the trees with graceful sweeps, interlacing the greensward, and in summer presenting charming glimpses through the foliage. Nearly in front of the chapel, and aeross the principal avenue. the lot made conspicuous by the monument erected by Mr. Hendricks, and now given a national inter est by reason of the interment there of the dead Vice president. The monument is a plain but imposing shaft of gray granite, cut smooth but not polished, and bearing at its base, in raised letters, the name “T. A. Hendricks.” On the southwest side of this shaft is the little grave of Mr. Hendricks's only child, a son, Morgan, who. as related on an inscription on the principal monument, was born at Shelbyville, Jan. 16. 1848. and died March 10. 1851.

Across the road, and not far away, in the same section with the chapel, is the nnmarked grave of Oliver Perrv Morton, Indiana's great war Governor, and for years the party rival of the man earried to his grave yesterday. No stone marks it, no inscription, no sign of the mighty dead's identity, save that across the grave, above its head, wrought in living Rowers, is the one word, “Morton.” It is enough to those who know its significance: enough for every veteran who fought that the Nation might live. Morton was the Union soldier's friend, with the power to render mighty aid. This name is enough to call to the mind of everybody who remembers the war how he superintended the recruiting, equipping and marshaling of regiments, and hurried them to the front. It was Morton who was present everywhere, sleepless, tireless, indefatigable. The fire of his eloquence, the force of his logic carried enthusiasm and couviction to every loyal heart. It was Morton, more than any other score of men, who saved the honor of Indiana in the days of treason and rebellion. lie needs no monument for this generation other than that reared in each patriot’s heart In honor of his undying fame. In the same tecton with this organizer of so many loyal iegions he some of the men he so often befriended, the boys in blue. Just a few feet away to the south Dd west are the borders of the United States National Military Cemetery of Crown Hill, in which lie the remains of 739 veterans. Lying as they marched, in seried ranks, they and their lion-hearted champion and friend await the last summons for the final grand review. This beautiful plateau is crowned with a cannon set up as a monument, and a flag-staff. A bronze plate on the side of the plat next to the grave of Morton bears a stanza from O’Hara's poem, “On fame's eternal camping ground,” etc. Another near the cannon and flag-staff: The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on life’s parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. Stretching out to the north and west, in many a bosky dale and dinelo, dimpled between swelling plateaus, is the principal part of the cemetery, running to the sides of aud part way up the sloping flank of Crown Hill. And from the summit the landscape for miles around is visible to the evo. To the north, and east, aud west, farm after farm stretching away to meet the horizon. To the southward the city and its suburbs rise in smoky indistinct ness. The court house tower and the rapidly rising white walls of the new State-house appear in miniature, and many a hint of the busy scenes of active life in motion about them and the adjacent populous streets. Here, secure from the noise and worry of traffic and trade. Crown Hill securely rests and contemplates the whir* and bustle from which it will ever be spared as the retreat of that constantly increasing majority. With rural beauty about its feet, the serenity of heaven about its brow, and th* peace of death to hallow it all, it affords travel-weary humanity a rare retreat, a place filled with suggestions for meditations and thoughts of a life übove, beyond and better than imagination has ever conceived.

THE DISTINGUISHED ATTENDANTS. THE WASHINGTON PARTY. Pen Sketched of the Members of the Cabinet and Congressional Committees. A constant, weary, craning of necks along the line of the procession proved very unsatisfactory to tho multitudes desiring to see the many prominent public men who were ensroused within the closed carriages. The chilly atmosphere necessitated their remaining from view. Among them were hundreds of men who have for years occupied foremost positions in the legislative, •xecutive and judicial branches of the government Probably the most eagerly soueht of the distinguished visitors was ex-President Hayes, of Fremont, 0., and no one was less seen Mr Bayes’s face has been pictured familiarly to the minds of the people c< this country ever since his '•nccessfnl campai&r *i IS7G. His full beard has •famo that time, b'Mftver, been sprinkled with

the whitening hand of time, his form has grown more robust, and his step has become a little less elastic, but bis eyes are as bright, his face as ruddy, his voice as firm, and his wit as cutting as when his years were prime, and his fame at its zenith. In general appearance Mr. Hayes looked yesterday much the same man the campaign illustrations pictured him almost a decade since. The next personage of interest was Secretary Thomas F. Bayard, the highest-ranking member of President Cleveland’s Cabinet Mr. Bayard comes direct from the old Delaware family of his name, and is one of the most aristocratic men of his day. Ha takes his aristocracy more from name and tradition, however, than from personal character. Personally, Mr. Bayard is not attractive, and is one of the last men one would take for a royal blue-blood. But 6uch an one he is. He wears his family coat of arms and is proud of it He is in stature probably six feet high, is raw-boned, square-shouldered, weighs over two hundred pouods, and is not in the least inclined to be stont He has large hands and large feet, but is largehearted, and is, therefore, forgiven. His drpss is plain and conventional. No effort is made at the styles. On his head a two-year-old beaver is always seen when on the streets, and his face is nearly always turned downward, indicating deep meditation. He has light steel eyes—so light indeed that they appear milky in the gas-light, and evince only a character of firmness. Mr. Bayard is a good lawyer and an easy but not fluent or eloquent speaker. He is a great man on account of the errors he has evaded. When his confreres in the Senate were in turmoils of excitement Mr. Bayard was always candid. He was cautious in speech and prndent in action. Socially he is popular and in his official relations ever pleasant. Mr. Bayard has passed his threescore years. Secretary of the Navy Whitney, of New York, the son-in-law of Senator Payne, Ohio’s coal-oil king, and the politician of the Cabinet, is an interesting man—the most interesting in reality of any of the President’s authorized advisers. Mr. Whitney is about forty-three years of age. He is tall, well built and wiry, and combines much of the phlegmatic temperament of New England. He wears eye glasses and has the aspect of the college professor. He is the most fashionably dressed member of the Cabinet In summer he often appears with an English boating suit and a sailor's straw hat At other seasons he wears a beaver. In bearing he is courteous and dignified; in speech halting, deliberative.

Dating his ancestry back to the time when the Mayflower landed the Pilgrims on the New England coast, Mr. Whitney’s family has contributed to the Massachusetts Commonwealth a large Dumber of the men who have been distinguished at its bar. on its bench and in nearly all the relations of public life. His uncle. John L. Whitney, was for a period of fifteen vears on the bench of the Appellate Court of the State. His father was also one of the most conspicuous ornaments of the Massachusetts bar. The family is noted for generosity. Mr. Whitney is rich, but unostentatious. His temperament versatile, combative, and his mind as sinewy as his body; he is a controversialist. He is an intellectual fighter, and he fights because he likes it. It is said of him, in bis native State, that the sight of a wellguarded line of defense is sufficient to provoke attack; that the sight of a powerful attack is sufficient to provoke defensa Secretary of the Interior Lamar, of Mississippi, is of the old Southern type so often seen in Virginia and the Carolinas in the last century. He was once a powerful man physically as well as mentally, but the sixty-five years or more which he has lived have written something of his life in the lines of his features. He is not so tall as Mr. Bayard, but is probably as heavy. He has a thick growth of beard on the lower portion of his face, but it. like his heavy long hair, which conies down well upon his neck and inclines to roll under slightly, shows little of the work of time. Mr. Lamar has large features—eyes, ears, nose, mouth—giving him at once the mark of spirit and firmness. He is genial, suave, and a stanch friend. When in the Senate he often showed more fervor, however, than sagacity, or general diplomacy. His defenses of the Confederacy, and especially its great leader, Jefferson Davis, who was his personal friend, were sufficient to prove him an erratic and unsafe man in debate for his party. His opponents had only to arouse him —he did the rest. Mr. Lamar, although he appears at first glance to be hale and hearty, is in failing health, and will ere long doubtless be known to hisiorv only. For his true friendship, bis bright intellect, his generosity and congeniality, however, he will live iu the memory of at least the present generation. William 0. Endieott, Secretary of War. is the most quiet and unattractive, yet one of the most brilliant of the Cabinet officers. lie at once tells you by his persona', appearance that lie is a New Englander, and that he is from the Hub. About fifty-five years of age. medium in stature and build, with a small mustache, clipped to bristle stiffness, and half gray, he is undemonstrative, sileut He is also plain, but scholarly and gentlemanly. Among the people who visit the departments at Washington frequently he is intensely popular, and by his coadjutors he is respected. Postmaster general Vilas, although i\ resident of Wisconsin, has none of the hearty greeting and winning ways of the true Westerner. He is scarcelv more than fifty years old. slight of form, medium height, wears a black and-gray full beard, cropped closely, and is never without eye glasses of the down east pattern. His dress is faultless, his air English, and his reception cold. He is said to be companionable, and to have a large fund of freedom with his friends; but. officially, he is arrogant and overbearing. Associate-justice Matthews has often been seen in Indianapolis. He is a Cincinnatian, about fifty-eight years old, broad shouldered, well built. wears a full brown beard, mixed with grey, and a man who has engendered strong political enemies, but has maintained his position before the country by his powerful social ties. Few men have either the ability or inclination to be as true a friend as Justice Matthewa

Associate-justice Blatchford. the second member of the United States Supreme Court, who attended the obsequies, is the smallest man on the bench. He is said to be much akin to the teiret in appearance and in habit of thought. His face is weazened, his eyes small and sparkkng. and his voice fine. He bears the reputa tion of being the best constitutional lawyer who has occupied bis position for many years. George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, the oldest member of the United States Senate, and probably the most distinguished, is a man who would command attention anywhere. He is powerful in every way. Standing full six feet three inches in height, and with good proportions; with a long, broad head, almost devoid of hirsute covering; large gray eyes, set far apart; a huge Homan nose, a firm mouth, he readily impresses one as a man of most positive character. He is a plodding speaker, and is slow of action, but very able. His decisions in law, and the interpreta tions of the Constitution and the rules governing the legislative branch of the government are seldom appealed from. In all these he has no peer iu this day. Socially he is not generally admired, being of a very recluse and moodv disposition, but his eminent abilities command the most profound respect. During the time of President Arthur’s administration intervening subsequent to the death of Senator Anthony, of Rhode island, Mr. Edmunds was President pro tempore of the Senate, and, since no President pro tempore was chosen at the expiration of the last session of the Senate, he is at this time, it is held by many, the occupant of that position and the only man really in the line of presidential t-uccession. William B. Allison, of lowa, is another of the brilliant members of the senatorial galaxy rep reseuted here. Mr. Allison would be readily pointed out as a lawyer, but never as a f>oli tician. His features show a deep gentleness and his eyes are ablaze with intelligence. There is none of that adroit and foxy cunning of char acter in his external appearance which so well defines the politician from the patriot, the rogue from the gentleman. He has all of the cor diaiity, frankness, firmness, energy, push of the successful Western advocate. He is of medium nine, has dark brown eyes and hair, abort beard oa bis

ehin and a wide, well-formed month. He is careful of his personal appearance, and is known as a Christian gentleman. Asa speaker he takes high rank. He is chairman of one of the most important committees and is consequently often heard on the floor of the Senate. His wellknown sense ot honor draws to him the highest degree of respect, and his gentle manner and eminent ability give him firm friends everywhere. Mr. Allison is the more interesting because of his prominence in presidential possibilities. Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri, is unlike any of his confreres in any essential character. He is about fifty-five years of age. low in stature, and inclined to ba stout and stooped in one shoulder. He is a thorough Missourian, and a thoroughbred. He has a large, round face, wears a good sized mustache, and is careless of his personal appearance. The broad, black slouchy bat is nearly always on his large, round head, in-doors as well as out. Mr. Vest was a distinguished member of the Confederate Congress at Richmond, and is an eloquent orator. He is poetical, and his flights of speech are attractive in every feature. His bobby is female suffrage, which lie never fails to oppose. Mr. V est was a frequenter of the White House of nights when Mr. Authur was President, and is a lover of stories and friends, although stern and crusty when officially encountered and morose in inclination. He generally employs the Christian name when addressing those he knows, and expects a return of like courtesy. His name has been familiar throughout the households of the country for many years, his public career having been begun early and seldom interrupted. Zebulon B. Vance, United States senator from North Carolina, is a name which has figured promin**tly in Southern and national affairs during a long and unbroken period. He was influential in the ante bellum days in all the South, and has been a combatant of the way the North desired the South reconstructed. Mr. Vauce is a large man physically, and a strong man mentally. He is over sixty years old, and wears a heavy head of hair, almost gray, and a small mustache of the same shade. He has light steel eyes and a pug nose, and. being quite stout, walks with a swing that it amusing. He is kind in disposition, and a favorite among his people. Other senators present from a distance were Pugh, of Alabama; Conger, of Michigan, Dolph, of Oregon; Beck, of Kentucky; Harris, of Tennessee; Blair, of Michigan; Camden, of West Virginia, and Jones, of Arkansas. Among the members of the lower house of Congress, few attract, personally, more attention than William R. Morrison, of Illinois. His horizontal tariff reduction bill and position as chairman of the committee on ways and means have brought him prominently before the country. Personally, Mr. Morrison is as democratic as he is politically He is a hail fellow, well and often met. He is between fifty-five and sixty years of age, and the most energetic and indefatigable worker in the congressional delegation from his State. It is said he never went for anything except horizontal tariff reduction and the United States Senate, when General Logan was in the field, that he did not get In personal appearance he does eminent credit to the locality from which he comes. He is a good sized mau, wears a full, short beard, well mixed with gray, a siugle-breasted cutaway coat, and a small soft hat. He is what is known in the Sucker vernacular as a “hustler” and “a fiehter from way back.” With Mr. Carlisle. of Kentucky, out of the way, Mr. Morrison is the most formidable rnan the Democratic party has for the speakership. Representative William M. Springer, of Illinois. is not as illustrious in the statesmans arena as Mr. Morrison. He is much more flexible, less determined and weaker in general character, although a more tolerable orator. Mr. Springer is in the fifties, of medium height, and more neat in personal appearance than Mr. Morrison. He also wears a full beard, cropped short, but dons a stylish beaver and Prince Albert, and is seldom seen without his favorite colors in a small boutonniere. He is socially as genial as the most gentle, and is personally popular. William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, was probably the most widely-known representative in the city yesterday. He is the intimate personal and political, likewise business friend of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Phelps is a bright statesman and thrice a millionaire. He is one of the most eloquent men the lower House has ever had. His language is extraordinary and Ins ideas care fully arranged. He is slightly tongue-tied, and his lisp is as musical as his oratory and logtc powerful. He is just entering the fifties in age, is very slight in build, inclined to be bald, but parts his,hair carefully in the middle, and appears in a short, double-breasted coat while in the performance of his congressional duties. Mr. Phelps is ener getic, sagacious, courteous, popular, and will probably be the next Republican senator from his State. Among the other representatives here were Messrs. Herbert (Ala.), Blount (Ga.), Hepburn (S. C.). Ryan (Kan.), Dunn (Ark.) and those from this State.

STATE AND CITY DELEGATIONS. Govs. Hoadly, Oglesby and Knott and Staffs —Clubs from Other Cities. Among the distinguished visitors for whom there was much inquiry was Hou. Elibu B. Washburne. ex United States Representative from Illinois, and ex-Minister to France, who is a well-proportioned old a very striking appearance. He was a friend and admirer of the dead statesman, although one of his contemporary opponents in politics, and it was from a sincere desire to pay such honor as he could to the memory of a dead friend that he came to attend the funeral. He has retired from politics, but bis name is well remembered by the public as one that only a few years ago seemed fairly likely to be registered on the list of Presidents, of the United States. He looks like a New England gentleman, who might at least be a Presbyterian deacon. He has a strikingly intellectual face, and the stranger who learns that his name is Elihu B. Washburne is not disappointed in the appearance of the man. Governor Hoadly, cf Ohio, and big staff, attracted much attention—the staff, in itsgorgeoas military uniform, making a more imposing appearance than the following of the other executive visitors. The chief of the military staff. Adjutant-general Finlev, is a soldierly-look-ing man, of commanding appearance, and there is much that is decidedly military in the looks of the different members of the staff, two of whom were among the number in command of the troops that made such bloody havoc among the rioters in Cincinnati when the court-house was burned. The Governor's face is rather familiar to the people of Indiana, as he has delivered many political speeches in the State. Mr. Hendricks entertained a high regard for him, and long before Mr. Hoadly was suggested as a possible candidate for Governor, the Indiana leader expressed the opinon that he would rise us one of the most formidable men in his party in Ohio. A visitor with a distinguished name and an interesting character, whom the public failed to see much of, was Governor Dick Oglesby, of Illinois, who arrived from Springfield during the morning, accompanied by ex Governor Palmer, Attorney-general Hunt. J. M. ‘Garland, the mayor of Springfield, and a large number of citizens. Among other prominent people with the same party were United States Marshal Webber. United States District Attorney Harbeche, Rev enue Collector Cooper. State Register Rees and Judge Creighton. The Governor is a man of good vital force, and an energetic manner, although his hair and closely cut beard are silver white. Governor Knott, of Kentucky, in a closed car riage. passed through the lines of the GO. 000 spectators of the procession without being seen to be recognized by more than a few of those who knew him. He is a solid looking man. be low the medium height, with a wiry moustache, which curls in towards his mouth, and yellowish gray hair, combed straight back on his head He is very quiet in manner, but cordial with those whom he meets, and is a typical Kentucky gentleman. Among the conspicuous organizations, the one which was the object of most curious interest. was the delegation from Tammany Hall, the famous New York political club. It was distiu-

gnished from the other organizations by the uniform collar worn over the shoulders of the members, of whom there were twenty-one in line. In their general appearance there was nothing more striking thaD the physical evidences that they are a well fed lot of men. The famous Iroquois Club, of Chicago, headed by S. Cornine Judd, attracted more than a passing glance from spectators of the procession, its name and reputation making it an object of something more than common interest. The organization was represented by twenty-five of its members, who were a very fine-looking body of men. The Cook County Democratic Club, from Chicago, which had sixty-seven men in line, all wearing black plug hats, had among its number several of the Cook county officers, including State Senator McHale, Representatives McNally and O’Shea, and County Commissioners Och, Van Vleet, Leyden, McCarty. Klehun and Wasseman. The mayor of Chicago, Carter Harrison, who is one of the men most talked about in Illinois, was in one of the closed carriages, and during his presence in the city, which was only during a few hours, attracted little attention. The Duckworth Club, of Cincinnati, wearing white plug hats, with a black band, and carrying canes, made a tine appearance, and were probably the subject of more favorable remark than any other organization. There were 113 members of the club in line, all well-dressed and fine-looking men, among whom were many of the leading business and professional men of Cincinnati. There were three other Cincinnati clubs represented—the Thurman, with 30 members; the West Eud Democratic Club, 33 members, and the Jefferson, 125 men. The Jefferson Club, of Dayton, had rather a dignified appearance, and one of the most striKing features of the procession was the portrait of the dead Vice-president carried by the Jackson Club, of Columbus, within a square of fortyeight men, each holding, alternately, ribbons of black and white, attached to the staff upon which the picture hung. The Miami Ciub. of Hamilton, 0., numbering sixty eight men. and the Americus Ciub, of Peoria, 111., represented by sixty-seven members, made a creditable appearance, while one of the best looking bodies in the line was the Jefferson Club, of Fort Wayne, with 160 members, all wearing black plug hats. FRAGMENTS OF THE DAY. WORK OF THE RAILWAYS. The Excellent Manner in which the Great Crowds Were Brought to the City. The railroads acted well their part in making the funeral ceremonies of the dead Vice-presi-dent one creditable to the State and city. On Monday Vice-president Malott, Superintendent Whitcomb and Marshal Manning, of the Union Railway Company, held a conference nnd perfected arrangements to have matters move smoothly -on the Union tracks aud to avoid, as far as possible, all blockades. No freights or switching trains were allowed on the Union track between 6am.. and noon, and 3 p. m. aud 9 P. M. To further relieve the Union tracks the C., H. & D. people stopped and started their trains from their city freight depot. Superintendent W T hitcomb had it so arranged that, as soon as a train run into the depot, a switching engine should be attached to the rear, and the trains run back to the respective yards the moment they were cleared of passengers This greatly lessoned the danger from accidents when the trains backed out. In the same manner they run into the depot at evening when toe trains departed. By 7 o’clock in the morning the Union Depot was crowded with people, and it required the utmost care to prevent accidents. The trains which carried the Cabinet and congressional committees were some of the attractions which caused not only persons who had arrived ou trains previously, but many of our citizens, as well, to gather at the depot. At 8:13 A. M. the Cabinet party’s train, which came west over the Baltimore & Ohio and C., 1., St L. fb C , arrived at the Union Depot. The second section arrived forty five minutes later, and brought members of the City Council of Baltimore, and of the Washington ancPßaltimore press. These trains came through from Washington in less than twenty-two hours. The run from Cincinnati to Indianapolis was mado in two hours and fifty-five minutes. The Cabinet and attaches’ train consisted of the Baltimore & Ohio sleeping coaches, three in number, and a baggage-car. The second section hauled thesame number of oars. The Pennsylvania special, which carried the committees of the Senate and Honse.did not reach Indianapolis until 9:30 a M. The train was delayed at Knightstown, owing to the engino breaking down, and then the committees partook of their breakfast in the C., St. L. & P. yards before the train was run into the city. The Pennsylvania train consisted of a baggagecar, a dining car, and the elegant Pullman coaches, Bavaria. Andes and Humber. Seldom do more elegant trains run into the Union Depot than were those of the Baltimore & Ohio and of the Pennsylvania roads. On the several trains which arrived here there were twenty-six sleeping coaches and seven reclining-chair cars, and in the day coaches were those of twentv-six railroads, which brought passengers through from all parts of this State, Ohio and Illinois, without change of cars, in numbers which never have been exceeded. Os the distinguished parties and associations brought over the C., 1., St. L. & C. road were Governor Hondlv, of Ohio, and staff; the Jefferson Club, of Cincinnati; Mayor Harrison and Cit}’ Council of Chicago, the Iroquois Club, Presidents Smith, of theC., W. &B. and In galls, of the C.. 1., St. L. & C. The Beeline brought in the Tammany party, of New York, the mayor and City Council of Boston. Senator Payne and others, of Cleveland: the 1.. & St. L brought in Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, the mayor and City Council of St. Louis; on the spe cial trains of the C., H. & D. were Judges Dwyer aud Ilamon and ex mayor McMahon, the Jefferson Club, of Dayton, the Duckworth Club, of Cincinnati and the Little Miami Club. of Hamilton, 0., and the City Councils of Connersville, Ind.. and Dayton. O. The I , B. & W., eastern division, brought in the Jackson Club, of Columbus, 0., and the Jefferson Club, of Springfield, O. The 1., B. & W., western division, brought in the Americus Club, of Peoria, 111., the Jefferson Club, of Bloomington, and special cars from Chicago, through their Chicago & Eastern Illinois connection, in which were General J. M. Schofield, United States array, and staff, James P. Sanger, United States Army; Hon. A. F. Seeberger. collector; Hon. Rensselaer Stone. Colonel John L. Beveridge, ex-Governor Hon. W. C. Goudy and wife, Hon. Janies T. Healey, Colonel William H. Bolton, Commissioner Philip A. Hoyne, Colonel John H. Rea and wife, Mrs. General Mulligan, pension agent: Gen. R. N. Patterson, Mr. H. F. Donovan, superintendent city delivery; Mr. John L. Hoyne, superintendent money-order division: Capt. James E. White, superintendent railway mail service, and Col. T. M. Clowry. superintendent registry division, Chicago postoffice; also, the postmaster; Major eeneral Sturges and staff from the Pacific coast: Hon. R. W. Townsend, member of Congress from Illinois; Dr Hunter, of Chicago; Congressman Ward and wife, of Chicago; Hon. S. Corning Judd and wife; Rev. Dr. Vibbert, of St. James's Church; Mrs. Vibbert and others, including all the federal judges. This party was in charge of Mr. YVilliam Hill, general passenger and ticket agent of the Chicago <fc Eastern Illinois railroad. The Vandalia brought in the Busch Zouaves, of St. Louis, and made the run from T*fre Haute to Indianapolis, 73 miles, in one hour and twenty minutes.

The Wabash, the Bee-line and the C. St L. & P. also brought in several Democratic clubs from the northern part of the State. Under the supervision of Chief Engineer Zork. of the Union railway, the Union depot was simply and appropriately decorated. From the table published below, it will be seen that some 29.000 persons were brought into Indianapolis iu the eignteen hours preceding the funeral ceremonies, on the trains of the fifteen roads. W ith but one or two exceptions, the figures published in the table are official. A study of the table shows that the Democracy on the line of the Wabash, the C , 1., St. L. <fc <J., eastern division, and J., M. &I. turned out iu large numbers, and on the C., H.

&D. and L, B. & W., eastern division, large delegations of the Ohio Democracy were brought in. On some of the coaches there were over ninety passengers; this remark will apply e pecially to the special trains, which numbered twenty.

NOTES AND INCIDENTS. Air. Hendricks and General Cass—An Irate Arkansas Gentleman. The catafalque remained in position in the court-house yesterday, but will be removed today. The New York Graphic artist, C. A. Suffrins, made a number of drawings of the interior and surroundings of St. Paul’s Church, for illustration in that paper. Mayor Carter Harrison and fourteen alder men, of Chicago, occupied the first seats in the center line of pews, immediately south of the pew in which Mrs. Hendricks sat. The police, aided by the Metropolitans from Evansville, and the merchant force, of this city, deserve credit for the excellence with which they performed their duties yesterday. A meeting of the Indiana Association, composed entirely of Hoosiers. just formed at Des Moines. la., adopted appropriate resolutions of respect to the memory of the dead Vice-presi-dent. Among the last acts of the late Vice-president he wrote a letter to Harry Francis, of Michigan City, agreing to meet him at Pittsburg on Friday last. The letter was written the day before he died. General Knefler, grand marshal of the procession, was complimented on all sides yesterday for his excellent management. There was not a break or a hitch in the lines, and the compliments were justified Among the members of the press from the neighboring cities wno attended the funeral were W. I). Pratt, of the Logansport Journal; A. P. Phillips, of the Springfield Journal; Thomas W. S. Kidd, Springfield Monitor, and Mr. Lukens, Peoria Transcript. John T. McCarthy, of tbe Cincinnati Enquirer, came up yesterday to assist Mr. Gid. B. Thompson in preparing the special report for that paper. The train on which he came was delayed until past noon, and when he reached the city he was compelled to walk clear to Crown Hill, being unable to get a carriage. By a singular coincidence both 6ergeaft-at-arms William P. Canaday, of the Senate, and John P. Leedom, of the House of Representatives, were taken suddenly ill during the services at the church yesterday, and Mr. Canaday. in particular, was quite seriously ill for several hours, the attack being acute cholera morbus. He was feeling somewhat better last evening when the party returned to Washington. The mistake of referring to St. Paul’s as a cathedral has been made on all sides since the death of Air. Hendricks. It was at first designated a cathedral by Bishop Talbott, under an arrangement made by the episcopal authorities, but Mr. Hendricks was himself the one to move for an abrogation of the arrangement, which was carried at the convention, at Fort Wayne, some years ago, and it has since been a church, in fact and in name.

The new Record, the Catholic organ of this city, will contain a poem in this week’s number, from the pen of P. J. Mahon. It is entitled ‘•Our Lost Friend.” and is a tribute to Thomas A. Hendricks. The final stanza is: So shall oar Erin, in her march sublime, Mourn whom she scaroe hath known, While we, her children of his native clime, Carve Hendricks’ worth upon the shafts of time And hold his fame our own. The music attending the services yesterday was especially good. The choir consisted of a double quartet: Miss Lottie Adam and Mrs. W. C. Lynn, sopranos; Miss Laura Hcssling and Mrs. S. L. Morrison, contraltos; Mr. Ora Pearson and Mr. O. W. Williams, tenors; Mr. S. L. Morrison and Mr. Fred Loomis, bassos; Mr. Geo. L. Raschig. leader and organist. The solo part of the anthem “Rock of Ages” was sung in exquisite voice by Mrs. Doney. now of Chicago, formerly a resident of this city. By midnight, last night, the streets were com paratively quiet, and the hotels had, in great measure, resumed their accustofned look. Here and there a few drunken brawlers, insensible to the proprieties of the occasion, reeled along the sidewalks, and the saloons remained open without hindrance all night, as they did the night before. Each out-gong train carried large crowds, and by this morning the only reminder of the scenes of yesterday will be found in the mourning emblems with which the buildings are decorated. Hon. Will Cumback is in lowa on a lecture tour. To the reporter of the Des Moines Register, he said of Mr. Hendricks, of whose death he heard of in that city: “The great power possessed by Mr. Hendricks lay in the suavity of his maimers, and 1 think he was one of the most polished gentlemen I have ever known. He was always the same, and all the men he met socially folt the charm of that presence even though diametrically opposed to him in polities. His ability was not of the sort that would place him in the front rank of our able men, though ne possessed a strong character and was far above the average in intellectual vigor. The peculiar conditions of Indiana politics conspired to bring him prominently before the Nation, and foisted nim into a position his abilities <>ulu never liave commanded Our State has always been comparatively close, politically, and the party winning has l>eon obliged to tight for each and every inch gained. In addition to this, we were an October State, making us fight the national battles beforehand, and in presidential years much attention was given to our canvass. With such a condition of affaii 9 the leader of cither party would command attention, and Hendricks was a leader. In this way he came prominently before the people; and there can be no doubt but he always occupied a warm place in their affections. He was a strong man. and will be greatly missed in the councils of the State and Nation.”

Among the distinguished visitors in attend ance yesterday was Judge Harmon. ex-Mayorof Detroit, who relates the following incident of Mr. Hendricks's career, which will prove interesting: During the campaign of 18-18, when General Cass, of Michigan, was a candidate for President, nothing had been done toward organizing the party in Indiana, and, after consultation with the party leaders. Judge Harmon was sent to the State to look after the party interests. He went to Madison to consult with Jesse D. Bright. “No,”saidMr. Bright.aftorhearingthe object of the visit “There have been no meetings held, although the party organization is in pretty good shape. If you waut to hold some meetings, I would advise you to go to Shelbyville and take with you a young lawyer up there b.v the name of Hendricks—Thomas A. Hendricks. He is a young man, but an effective speaker, and a rising roan. 7 * Judge Harmon acted on the advice of Senator Bright, aud called upon Mr. Hendricks, the latter consented to accompany him, and together the two made a campaigning tour. On his return to Michigan Judge Harmon told General Cass of the very excellent service performed by the young Indianian, and Cass expressed himself as greatly pleased. Not being elected to the presidency he had no apportunity to reward young Hendricks until when, in 1838, he was made Secretary of State under President Buchanan. He then urgently requested the appointment of Mr. Hendricks as Commissioner of the Land Office, which position he filled with great credit. Mr. Hendricks has frequently said, in recent years, that he

never knew bow or why he had received this, hli first appointment, General Cass never having mentioned the matter, and it is even possible that he died in ignorance of the influence which procured it. A puffec’ gentleman, sah, from Arkansas, representing himself to be Thomas F. Linda, ex mayor of Hot Springs, harangued a crowd ia the Bates House lobbies, last evening, and created considerable excitement by denouncing President Cleveland as a coward for failing to attend Mr. Hendricks’s funeral. He wore an Iroquois Cinb badge when he commenced speaking, but removed it with the remark that as what he had to say was likely to be rather pointed, he would speak as tbe representative of Arkansaw, sah. He predicted that the President's course would cost ihe party dear m Indiana, and said he was a disgrace to the Democracy. When a robust stranger front Cincinnati, who misunderstood his remarks to refer to Mr. Hendricks, asked for a repetition, the fiery Major Linde politely obliged him, and, after pausing to see if there was any objection to what he had said, added: **l am a little man. sah, and you are a large one. but. by G—d, sah, I can’t be bulldozed. I will be at this hotel for two or three days, and if any gentleman wants to make my acquaintance and will simply send me his kyard I will be pleased to meet him at any time he may designate." The able Majah Linde killed a man at Hot Springs some time ago, under circumstance* something like these: Another gentleman from Arkansas, with whom he had had some difficulty, stepped up to him in the street and asked, politely: “Majah. are you heeled, sah?’’ “No,” rejoined the complacent Majah; “but I will be in five minutes, sah,” and turned on his heel. Five minutes later, sure enough, here he came, and “heeled ’ in good style, carrying a double-barreled shotgun. The other gentleman fired two shots from his revolver at the Majah before the latter could limber up his artillery, but with as little delay and rudeness as the requirements of polite Hot Springs society would permit, he returned the gentlemau’a lira and made him a member of the angel choir. A Memorial from the Clergy. Bishop Knickerbacker and the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in attendance upon the obsequies of the Vice-president yesterday, united in the following tribute: It was signed by Bishop Knickerbacker, Dr. Bradley, Dr. Fulton, Dr. Stringfellow, Dr. Jonckes, Rer. Geo. B. Engle, Rev. Willis D. Engle, and Revs. Prent : ce, Vibbert, Macfarlano and Taylor: He was Vice-president of the United States and adorned that high office with experience, statesmanship and an unblemished nnblic record. Professionally he was a lawyer of deserved eminence from his legal ability and his persuasive powers’as au advocate. As father and husband be was pure, and true, and loving, and faithful. He was a Christian gentleman whom those loved most who knew him best. To us he was prized most of all as a churchman, who loved and reverenced the Prayer-book: who dignified our general convention by his noble Chi istian bearing; who added great weight to our diocesan conventions by his wise counsels and just criticisms, always advanced with modest gentleness; who generously helped his parish with timely and willing gifts; who was ever loyal to his rector, and who crowned his layman’s priesthood by kneeling devoutly at the altar in holy communion. We sorrow with our Nation, and especially with our fellow-citizens of Indianapolis, in our common grief at the sudden death of so illustrious an officer of the government and so accomplished a Christian gentleman. We sorrow with the whole church in the loss of so eminent a layman. We sorrow with the Bishop and diocese in the removal of so conspicuous a personage from our counsels. We sorrow with the brethren of St. Paul’s parish in the loss of so noble a parishioner and warden. W e sorrow, most of all, with deepest prayerful sympathy, with the stricken widow in her lonely grief. Vet she is not alone, her God and his God, the God of mercy and pitying fatherly love is with her. and He is full of kindness and compassion. May His blessed hands ever be over her, and Ilia holy spirit ever be with her, to sanctify this present chastening, working out for her an exceeding and eternal weight of glory, and leading her at last bevond all sorrow into His presence where there is fullness of joy forevermore.

The public schools and many business houses wero also closed, and at noon there was a general tolling of hells. It was like Sunday at the White House, a few callers put in an appearance, but were informed that the house was cloeed. Every public building is most profusely and appropriately draped in mourning, and all the flags are at half-mast. The White House was never so well draped as to-day, the mourning emblems being peculiarly imposing and suitable. At Haiti morn. Baltimore, Md., Dec. I.—The hours of the obsequies of the late Vice-president were appropriately observed in this city. At noon public business waa suspended, and the bells of the city hall and fire d®„ partment were tolled.

Markland. of the Presbyterian Church, offered praver, followed by singing “Nearer, my God, to Thee,” by the Oratorical Society. An extended preamble and resolutions were adopted, of which the following are the essential features: “Resolved. That as his private character was above reproach, so his many virtues will be emulated, hia goodness of heart admired, and bis numerons deeds of charity and kinduess remembered with profound reverence. To see him was to admire him, to meet him was to respect him, and to know him was to love and honor him. “Resolved, That his public services were not less patriotic than his private virtues were conspicuous. The former are mouuments to his wisdom and lofty statesmanship, aud, while our free institutions are perpetuated, they will remain as stars on the firmament of our great Republic.” Then follows a summary of his political advancement, of which it is said: “He represented Indiana for two terms in Congress; was Commissioner of the General Land Office of the United States; United States senator; Governor of his State when it went for a Republican President; elected Vice-president, in 1876, and counted out, and finally re-elected to the same office, in 1884 —the second highest within the gift of the neuple." The closing resolution was as follows; “Resolved, That a life so exernp ary and so full of devotion to the demands of his oouutry brings forth only universal commendation.” At New York.
