The captain shook band with her and the President, and passed few word with them. Ross Clarkv who' had also me th President, renewed the acquaintance, and' the party was enpaged in conversation when the order came for the escort colnmn to move. The bands began to olay and the procession moved. Unexpected progress had been made in ' retting the line of march into marching order. ' 1 Sands and dram corps were scattered along the i line as thickly as plums in a generous housev- ri3'$ pnddior, and the various tnnea they n'ed. together with the roar of the salute eun, ' mue impossible any attempt to march with miltr precision. The bands showed a great partiality for "Marseillaise. " Tha Minstrel Boy. ind rood old tnnea like Marching through - Georgia" were not thrown in by way of variety. Occasionally there waa something springy, like "Johnny Get Yoor Gun," "I Had Fifteen Dollars In My Inside Pocket," and they seemed to take well with the Hendricks Club and the sidewalk contingent! v . The march was sot eventful, and in many respects was a , disappointment. v Washington street was crowded for several squares from the starting point, but further westward for several 'squares the sidewalks were not even filled. ' When the procession began to move the Presi-.-. dent held bis has in his hand and whenever there i was any attempt at , a demonstration from the sidewalk be would acknowledge it.

Occasionally the PreslXi tlent would take his eyes from the crowds for a ' f few minute and engage in conversation with I ' Senator McDonald, but Mrs. Cleveland did little talking. If ebe said anything it was to call at- ' Iteuiion to something that had attracted her attention. ' Nothing seemed to escape her eye. Half way between New Jersey and Alabama streets the carriage came-in sight of the courtn"hnu with its lavish decorations, and the five

Between Meridian and Illinois (streets the magnificent buildings and beautiful decorations attracted the attention of the President. . Senator McDonald pointed oat several of the leading business bouses. There was a dense crowd at the corner of Illinois and Washington streets, and at this point be was cheered. The President, who had put on his hat. oavcconnt of the warmth of the sun. again removed it in honor of the demonstration, and bowed frequently to the crowd. The Bates House windows were filled with persons, who waved flags as the carriage passed. When the carriage came out into full view of the Statehouse, both Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland eeemod surprised at its magnificence. WJtLCOASU ill- THS GOVERNOR. The President's RespuDsv to Governor Gray's Address at the State Hooia With the customary American desire to get a good place, the spectators began assembling about the Capitol long before the hour for the presidential party's coming, bat until the arrival of the head of the procession they kept pretty trell in lirfte along the borders of Washington trret and the southern approach to the building. Tl e latter was petroled and kept clear Ir squads of the Ross Guards and English Guard, colored companies of the city. The crowd, however, succeeded in blocking the entrance at the sidewalk, and put the militia and police to some trouble in clearing it again. At 11:25 the first horsemen, appeared at Tennessee street, and slowly moved to the center of tUa square, when they opened ranks, and took position to keep back the crowd. As they did so the militia formed . lines along the approach, with presented arms, and th.e When band marched op and took position opposite the reception stand. Following these came the police and Light Infantry, who formed in platoons on both sipes. The hollow square of the Hendricks Club came next. As it stepped the crowds from the street came rushing pell-mell across the grounds and began packing in front of the stand. Another portion pressed to the place of alighting and gave the police another straggle to keep an open passage. The President's immediate party stopped a few minutes after passing tip the steps from Wasbingtoa street, to await the arrival of the following carriages. Meanwhile the cannons spoke their welcome and the crowd cheered lustily. In the same interim the ladies of the reception committee made their way to the stand from the reception room within. The band strucK up "Hail to the Chief;" the cheering redoubled, and the party moved slowly op the approach. Mayor Denny and the President were first Mrs. Cleveland followed, on the arm of Senator McDonald, interspersing her chat with him with smiles and pleasant nods to the spectators. Senators Voorhees and Turpie, Senator Harrison and Colonel Lanaont, Governor Porter and Hon. Wm. H. English, together with the gentlemen of the reception committee, followed. When the President reached the stand. Mayor Denny presented him to Governor Gray, who escorted him to bis place. Mrs. Cleveland was met by Mrs. McDonald, who presented her to the other ladies of the committee. Bhe stood talking with them while the President and Governor Gray chatted together for several minutes, there being necessarily a delay until the Jefferson Club, Duckworth Club, the lettercarriers and other organizations could reach their assigned places. . , As soon as tha uniformeltsodics were in position on the approach. Governor Gray and the President arose, and the Governor made his addreps of welcome In these words: "President Cleveland In behalf of the people of Isdiana I greet you, bidding you welcome to the State and its capital. Be assured that the exhibition of popular interest evidenced by this large assemblage of onr citizens is a manifestation of respect for you not less than for the magistrate. The people of Indiana meet you here to-day to testify by tbeir presence their reverence and respect for the authority established by their suffrages under the Constitution and laws of their country. If there are any here who differ with vou as to the wisdom of any of your official acts, feel that I can safely say that while so differing, they accord to you honesty of purpose and a sincere desire to conserve the public good, and I believe that you have endevored to discbarge the dates of your high position as you saw, and conscientiously understood them. Your visit to this Commonwealth occurs at a time when all onr interest and industries have fairly felt the impetue of advancement and prosperity imparted to them by an administration of nattonal affaire, prudent, pure, peaceable, loyal to the Constitution and genius of the Kepablic.

diar.apolis may proporlv be called the Gateway of the West. To-day the gate is thrown widely open, with the vrish that your entrance and sojourn here iaay be as pleasant to you as it is to ui; that your further journev beyond may be safe and fortunate; and rest assured you will have the fervent wishe of the people of Indiana for your fafety during every Btep of yoar journey, coupled with tne hope that you may return to the Capital with health recuperated and energies renewed for the discharge, of the responsible duties devolved upon yoa as the chief magistrate of this great Republic. It is only to be retrretted that an illustrious citizen of our own State, whose path lay near your own in honor and service, is not here to join the felicitations of an occasion which he would have so much enjoyed. "To you, Mr. President.as the guest of Indiana, and in behalf of her two and a half trillions of citizens, 1 again bid you thrice welcometo the State, and to the hospitalities of its capital," Governor Gray then took his seat and the President responded as follows: "Governor Gray and Fellow citizens When I received a hearty invitation from the people of Indianapolis, and through their Governor the invitation of the people of the State of Indiana, to stop in my travel and see them and tbeir capital city. I was not long in determining that mv route should lead me this way. I am sincerely glad to have the opportunity, which tny short stay affords, to see the f-.ir Dtoportions of your thriving and prosperous town. "The cifzens of the State cf Indiana have abundant cause for congratulation in the volume and variety of their products, their public educational advantages, thoir charitable institutions, and all that contributes to the greatness of a State. But it seems to me that not the least cause f or an Indianian's pridn should be his State capital. First settled in 1S19. one year thereafter its population numbered fifteen families; chosen as the seat of the State government in 1-S21. it was about that time laid out as a town and riven itspresent name, thoush it had no incorporation until 1S36, and did notreceivea city charter tili a47. "Forty years' growth has given it a population of at least one hundred tbousaod, and ail the business activity that characterizes a prosperous American city. "I shall not dwell in detail npoa the featn-es cf your city's flourishing condition, which are daily under yonr observation. I am told by an old r-siJent that your capital can be directly reached by railroad from every county lu the State excepting two; and those who live here roust be very active and restless, or Tery social, or both, for 1 am qnite sure that you will find more miles of street railroad in Indianapolis thau in any other city of its size in the United States, "I must not omit to congratulate the peoplejof Indiana and their capital upon a careful and economical administration of their public affairs. A proof of this now beautifies your city; for I am told that your spacious and bnudeomo State-house, just completed, was actually built within the limit of its expense originally fixed. In these days of waste, extravagance and miscalculation in regard to public buildings, this is a thing so unusual that you may well he proud of it. So far as your city is concerned, it has been quite lately reported as having the lowest tax rate of all the cities of the country with a population of fifty thousand and upward, excepting two. "Iam at this moment much impressed with another thought connected with this place. Its snggstion cannot fail to awaken in your minds an affectionate sentiment, and its bubject directs the interested attention of the nation to this spot Here lived and died a man your neighbor and your friend whose name was a household word throughout the land.' trusted and respected by bis fellow countrymen and by them invested with the highest civic trusts. A loyal, true son of your State, amid his honors he never forgot the people of Indiana and his fellow townsmen of Indianapolis. And while he loved you well, be brought honor to you by his faithful discharge of the functions of public office and by a firm devotion and adherence to patriotic principle. All wili join you in the respect you cherish for bis memory, and the kindly, tender thoughts of the people of the land will always turn to your city as the plase where your distinguished citizen lived and died, and where rest his remains among the surroundings be so much enjoyed. "It is, therefore, not only gratifying to me to be with you as citizens of Indiana and Indianapolis, but to be able to greet you as the friends and neighbors of a man honored by the nation, and connected with me by ties of friendship, by the fortunes of political life, and in the discharge of public duty. Most excellent order wa maintained during the address and the response, the only noticeable noise near the stand being produced by a number of children to the east and back of it. As the President concluded three cheers for him were proposed by the Hendricks Club and heartily given, and as they ended he turned and ' was presented to the ladies of the reception' committee. The party then moved on into the building in the same order that had been observed in approach. As the Hendricks Club moved into the building, after the committee, the crowd closed in behind them as fast as possible. The police stationed across the approach made a desperate effort to slop them and almost succeeded in doing so Several times a policeman was seen to jump into the throng and clutch some one of the more obstreperous citizens, who were forthwith dragged to one side and landed beyond the limits of the crowd. Back of the police, however the crowd broke into tha lines of the colored militia, and quickly filled the space to the doors of the Capitol, the only break being on the east side where the Richardson rifles held their line around the stand. Colonel Ruckle took in the situation quickly. He brought the colored companies around and out into the star.d, whence they dropped to the cronnd and poshed a line across the approach at the foot of the steps. The police gradually fell back to this point, and the crowd was forced To divide and pass in column of fonrs at either side. The jam, however, was terrible. Women came out of it looking like tbey had been strolling iu a cyclone, and a dozen or more of children were crying at the top of their voices from fright and the roueh jostling, A great many people left in despair as soon as they could get free from the pack, but their plaees were taken by new arrivals and the onwafd press toward the door was maintained. THE KECF.PTION. Scenes and Incidents White the Throng Was Passing Through the State-IIouae. After leaving the platform at the south entrance of the State-house the presidential party was escorted to the Governor's reception room, followed by the persons who had occupied seats on the stand where the speaking had occurred. These gentlemen were individually introduced to President and Mrs. Cleveland by Gov. Gray. Senator Harrison was the last of the number and be was greeted cordially by both the President and wife, with whom he conversed for two or three minutes, before the party was escorted to tha rotunda where tha public reception was to be held. In the rotunda just enough preparation had been made to rtiieve the place of its bareness. The plants in the niches, the Sags festooned in the galleries and a portrait of Mr. Hendricks placed high in the northeast corner of the octagon comprised the simple details, aside from the dais. This was of an elliptical shape, with the floor carpeted with Brussels and the sides draped with bunting. On it were seats for the President and Mrs. Cleveland, ana the ladies and gentlemen attending them. The places for the President and wife were at the south end, where a light stand on which rested a boquet was added to the furniture. It was here that the people were received, in which office the police and military materially assisted. About noon a detail of the .Duckworth Club of Cincinnati came and took the west side of the rotunda, while on the east there was a similar representation from the Jefferson Club of Cincinnati and the Hendricks Club of this city. At the northeast corner stood the Governor's staff in full uniform. On an iuner circle were guards from the Light Infautry of the city, details from which also guarded the approaches to the rotunda on the outside. Preceding the entrance of the distinguished -party the Duckworth, Jefferson and ITendricks Ciubs went through evolutions that afterwards placed them in line down the corridors. Above, in the galleries overlooking the scene, were crowds of citizena admitted thereto by tickets, and off in a far gallery the band, at intervals supplied the music. Thus prepared for the reception, the presidential party entered. Mr. Cleveland and governor Gray leading, followed by ex-Senator McDonald and Mrs. Cleveland4, Judge Turpie and Mrs Gray, John P. Frensel and Mrs. McDonald, Mr. N. S. Byram and Mrs. Knefler. Mayor Denny and Mrs. Bynum. Congressman Shively aud Mrs. Pierre Gray, M. Lemeke, Mrs. Byram and Dr. and Mrs. James McLeed, and the other

ladies and gentlemen who were with the party 0:1 the platform. President Cievelana. standing with the Governor on his right and Mrs. Cleveland sitting on the left, met the crowd as it came from tne south entrance. A few members of the Duckworth Ciub led the linn aud were the only people, except the aged eonple later on, that shook hands with tb -President. Ila began sturdily to shake hands with those passing on his left, but a minute's trial led him to desist. After that Ho refused the proffer of many handi, keeping his owa clasped hrhicd his back, or as at times, the risht resting in the breast of his Prince Albert, while the If ft hunsr at his sidt The crowd came first by fixes, passing by threes on either side of the President as it came to the dais. To this side and 'that the President nodded now and then, ad.linc a emit to relieve bis recognition or the cold formality which characterize d his manner throughout. Tne smile imparted something of a warmth to what he fremed to rerard as solely a perfunctory affair. Ex-Senator McDonald stood at the chair of Mrs. Cleveland, v.ith whom he now and then exchanged words. At times oiher gentlemen of tne patty would call the attention of the lady, who was never unmindful of th passing thronjr. With a sioile and a nod as the three moved leisurely by she recogni7ed the people's presence. With a few she Fhook hands, but, like her husband, she soon desisted. But Governor Gray and Mr. McDonald did most of the hand-snaking. They, too, found the task too arduous. On the whoie the reception was confinpd to a look at the President, with here and thero some one to bow to him and Mrs. Cleveland. In managing the crowd, the unceasing attention of Gen. Knefler and his assistants, tba military and club guards, together with the police under th command of Captain Campbell, were required. It came on at times in waves of high and low degree. Here passed a man or woman bont with age, closelv followed, perhaps, by a person deprived of sight, or moving plowlv on account of paralysis. There was no condition of life unrepresented; the pauper jostled the rich, and the rascal the Christian. Men with their wives were there. Men and women carrying babes helped fill un the line. There were men of honest toil, and men whose loaferish instincts and practices are ineradicable. The virtuous and the vicious, all came in that seemingly never-ending throng. With it all there was no spirit cf g'.adt-oss. Of course, there were those pleased to soe the President and his wife, but the motive appeared to bo curiosity in the hurried and cold looks. It was only a glance from the. people, a nod and a smiie from the President and his wife. About the only instance of genuine feeling occurred when an aged "couple insisted on shaking hands with the President. Ke refused, hut relented and shook the old man's hand. He was about to draw the line on the aged ladv. but she waa persistent, wheu Mr. Cleveland laughingly accepted the situation and sent the ladv away happy. The foolish fattier and mother who wanted a presidential kiss for their baby, were tint mis9ing, but they were hurried on with a firm refusal from Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, aud without ceremony from the guards. So the scene continued, the people stopping quickly now and baing rewarded only by the shortest glance at tfa distinguished coupIb. The crowd kept surging forward to be divided by the dais and the marshal and his assistants. The President continued to smile and noil, Mr?. Cleveland did the same, and for the passing individual the reception was over. There was a stiffness, coldness in the President's recognition, there were grace and wicsomeness in that of Mrs. Cleveland. Indeed, the honors were as much for her as for her husband. At intervals for a moment or two they would exchange words, smile and then turn again to the crowd to sruils and nod, and nod and smile as this review of varied character, dispositions, ambitions, purposes and conditions pa?sed unbroken before them. The lines of sixes as they upproached the dais were after a while lost in the pushing and jostling of the crowds. They came with eight, nine and ten abreast. The equal division was obliterated, and the marshal and fis assistants bad to send them to this side or that, as best they could. With leas watchfulness the throng would have become unmanageable. The limit was shortening, but the people were as numerous as ever. To get control of the throng the doors bad to be shut for a moment, while a detail of the Duckworths marched rapidly along the corridor to break the line and clear the way. But when the crowd was again admitted it grew and grew until, what with the continuous commands of the sentinels and the orders of the police, the scene became somewhat noisy. Everybody wanted to Mke his or her time in passing through, but. once in the rotunda the orders fast repeated hurried the' slow a'oog. In the crowd itself those in the rear helped the movements of those in front by poking tnerc in . bacK aud ribs with fists, ntubrellas or canoi Now and then somebody would put out a hand, but the President would tighten his hands behind his bark, nod and smile, or Mrs. Cleveland would courteously decline with a slight movement of the bead and a turning of her smiles to those coming after. Again, the police and sentinels would break out with "hurry along," don't stop," "look to the left," or "move a little faster." Acain the Duckworths passed down the corridor and through the rotunda to enable the guards and marshals to get control of the throng. The DncKs would salute the President, who in turn looked at them with an expression that meant "I have seen you before; pass on, gentlemen." The crowd was then pushed into rapid movements by the continuous command, "Go faster," "Poke 'em up," "There is no time to stop," "Keep going." There was no -regard for persons. A faithful oll Democrat walked leisurely along until a guard pave him a pnsh that sent the crowd ahead past the President. Faster and faster went the crowd, with repeated shouts from the police to "Send them al.ead,n until 1:30, when the doors were closed, the lines cut off, and a throng ontside remained ungratified by a look at the President and wife. Directly after the reception the Presidentand Governor Gray, followed by John P. Frenzei and Mrs. Cleveland, passed out of the west entrance of the Capitol through lines formed by the Hendricks Club. Below in the street were massed 5,000 people, while for a square either way, on Mississippi street, extended crowa of a few thousand more. JVhen the President appeared there was not a cheer to greet him, but as he entered his carriage a few hundred tried to instill enthusiasm into the throng. The President's carriage was driven a little ahead towards Ohio street to wait while the other carriages were filled by tbe distinguished rarty attending him. There was no renewal of cheers, bnt a few hundreds gathered about his carrriage to look on iu. silence. Within five minutes he and his party were away from the Capitol.and so ended the reception. A Lady's Obervationa of Mrs. Cleveland. . It is not every day in the year that the skies fall and presidential larks are to be caught, therefore it is not surprising that such phenomena should be attended by civic and social, as well ns atmospheric excitement. Amid rl these disturbances, it has baec a significantly noted fact, which every political philosopher i3 at liberty to interpret for himself, that the greater part of tbe interest expressed in regard to the royal visitants seemed centered upon the lady of the White House, to the almost entire exclusion of her husband. Even the members of her own sex. who are traditionally supposed to dwell with most favorabie eye upon masculine good looks, have iuvarinbly met the query: "Are you going to see the President ?" with the reply, "I would like very much to see Mrs. Cleveland." The current rumors as to the great personal beauty and general attractiveness of the "first lady of the land" have doubtless in part created a universal desire to see these rumors confirmed. As one lady-constituent candidly expressed it: "If she is any better-looking than the rest of us, we want to know it" As President Cleveland walked up the broad pavement of the State-house, escorted by Gov. Gray his appearance 6'jggested the word "pudgy." This word is not to be found in the dictionary, but it is a very good word tor all that The President is not a short mtu, but is so universally stout that all sense of heieht seems lost Every feature of his face expressed obeseness. His eves were almo3t swallowed up by his cheeks, and his mouth aye, there's the rub when a man gets to a point where he has a fat - smile all youthful beauty and grace are gone. With every reasonable desire to be non-partisan it must be stated that the best presidents our country has bad bave not been stout men. Mrs. Cleveland is a striking contrast to her magistrative partner in this rspect. and looted very slender and grateful as she advanced leaning on the arm of Senator McDonald. There is no room for doubt on the subject of her personal attractiveness. Her fare woclu hardly be called beautiful, but is untnitigatedly pretty and a perfectly natural face loo no powder or paint, but a clear creamy complexion, fine eyes, an unobtrusive nose, and a pleasant, srci'Jng mouth, flanked by good, old fashioned aim pies, comprise the main points of her attractiveness. She was dressed in excellent taste, eithar tor traveling or for appearing before so vast an assembly, being attired in a suit of dark-green cloth, relieved by a touch of tan color in the rest and at the throat and wrists. The skirt was ornamented by a side

panel of black or darker green braid, and a "V of the same extended down the back of the baaque. On her head was a neat little bonnet of the same material, belonging to the "Peek-a-boo" family, and worn without strings. Her hair, which is qnite dark btown, if not black, was comber! high from the back of Per nerk, and was only siighily visible under tbe Utile bonnet in front no bangs. Mrs. Cleveland's tast as to jewelry is modest, as she wore no earrings a little horse-shoe of diamonds 3t her throat and a short chatelaine watch chain being her sole ornaments. Oa her hands were tan-colored gloves stitched with black, and in them she carried a huge but beautiful bouquet of Marec-fcal Neil roses. She looked quite piain among the ladies of the reception committee, who wers in full gala day attire as the occasion required, but she looked that singular yet descriptive word "stylish." and bore herself as belonging to the beau-monde, which, indeed, ought to satisfy the most critical sense. Just as the party took their places cn the platform, a beautif'il basket of flowers was presented to Mrs Cleveland by a delegate from the Y. W. ('. T. U.. of which she was a member before she assumed matrimonial responsibilities. She received it graciously, and placed it upon the table beside her. Then, not to be outdone by the frailer sex, a gentleman representing snrot unknown body stepped forward and delivered two immense bouquets, after which the flxral ouerings subsided. Mrs. Cleveland's smiles while the throng was passing fU iike tl: dew upon nil alike, and with liberal impartiality. And the crowd surged ouward. about one in ten catching a bow or a ruiile, and about the same proportion seeing anything of tbe President, or the first lady of tbe land. The majority of people are said to be stupid, and this crowd was no exception. Hundreds Grifted past with their faces dead-set in a d.rection opposite the platform, and no amount of suggestion to "Look to the left" from the nartitiary roinion3 in charge could affeet tli.eir obtusirness. Plenty of women were looking directly toward the President, and wheu tht order came again, "look to the left," they directly faced to the right, nnd drifted past the entire spectacle without ever glimpsing it. A glance down the r.inks pressing in gave great furce to tne expression, "open-mouthed admiration." as a large number cf th up turns X faces were in that unhandsome condition. t Mrs. Cleveland's manners and appearance pledged the general puolic. and this satisfaction was given expression in such phrase as, "She's real nice and plain not a bit tony," etc. She was indeed affability and graciousness personified. At anv time a glanca across the slowlymoving myriads of people disclosed the fact that the smile, like our flap, was "still thera," and beaming in natural and undiminished brightness. At first blush, it seemed that a reception without band-shaking was to be a good thing for the President, but after an hour of steady bow-' ing. a feeling of sympal hy for his neck under constant saw by a stiff collar gave birth to an opinion that of the two kinds of gymnastics the wear aud tar ,on elbow aud shoulder-blade would have bten preferable.

THE V TAKE TWO Ll'SCOES. The President Kntertnioed by Mrs. llrudricfcs aud Mr. aud Mrs. McDonnld. The presidential party, accompanied by Governor Gray and John P. Frunze!, upon leaving the State-house, preceded by the mounted police and the mounted escort, drove around the northern part of the Capitol grounds to the residence of Mrs. HeDdricks, on Tennessee street Here the crowd had massed again, but Marshal Hawkins, aided by half a dozsn policemen, succeeded in clearing a passage and removing a number of intruders from the yard, before the party arrived. Mr. Hawkins helped Mrs. Cleveland from the carriage; Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Frenzei stepped out; and tbe four stood until the second carriage drove up and Governor Gray alighted. The President and Governor Gray led the way to the house, J Irs. Cleveland and Mr. Frenzei following. Within, Mrs. Hendricks was awaiting the party in company with Judge Ni black, Mr. S. W. Morgan, Col. C. C. Matson and Hon. Eb. Henderson. Mrs. Hendricks met her guests at the door, when she greeted the President and waa introduced by him to Mrs. Cleveland. The party then entered the parlor, where Mrs. Cleveland motioned her busraud to the chair placed for her and drew up another by his side. After chatticg for about ten minutes. Mrs. Hernckn asked her guests to partake of a slight refection. This was not on the original programme, and tho intention of offering it was not made known to the executive committee until yesterday morning, it being arranged from the first that the party should take luncheon at Senator McDonald's residence. The gentlemen retired to tho dining room, and lunch was served to Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs Cleveland in the parlor. Oysters, chicken salad, veal loaf, warm biscuit, coffee, olives, and fruit were served. The gentlemen found also some choice imported Bordeaux and fino liquors. After five minuies or so had been passed in taking refreshment, the gentlemen returned to the parlor, and all took leave of Mrs. Hendricks, departing in the order of arrival. Mrs. Hendricks throughout, treated the visit as a private call ou herself. From this point the party and escort moved through Market street, around the Circle, and up Meridian street, the first carnage being occur pied by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and John P. Frenzei. Doth the President and his wife expressed thftir pUaare at the cordialty of their reception and the perfection of the arrangements, as they rode a'.ong. The President was surprised at the bright appearance of the decorations after the unpleasant weather, and both were pleased with tbe chimes of Christ Church, which rang as they wero passing. The streets were lined with crowds, and tbe crossings blackened with carriaaes. At Ssnator McDonald's, the. ladies and several of the gentlemen of the reception committee were assembled, together with a score of society people of tbe city. Outside a large crowd thronged the sidewalks and encroached ou the street. When the party Brnved, children scattered flowers on the path to the doorway before them, and a large Dumber of ladies and children took possession cf the lawn Without molestation. As the party entered thev were met by Senator and Mrs. McDonald, who presented to them Mrs. Denny and a few other members of the coirinntlee whom thev had not yet teen. Mr McDonald then informed Mrs. Cleveland that a ccmxiittee of tho Women's Christian Temperauce Union desired to present her a floral tribute, and introduced Mrs. K. Eoftin, who said: Mrs. Grover Cleveland: Ve trke frreat pleasure ia presenting you this offering, with tun compliments of tho Women's Christian Temperance Union, as token Oil theirhigh appreciation of your eilor; in the temperance cuuse. Mr?. Cleveland, for the first, time during the dav. apperea a little taKen brick. She said: "Oh! thank you!'' and than as sho stepped to the tabie, and looked at it she added: "It is very beautiful." The design was appropriate. On a platter of pink rose buds and tube roses was an inverted goblet of tube roses and baisam. The committee, composed of Mrs. K. Loftin, Mrs. J. K. Bud 1 and Mrs. Georgia Wright, had asked permission of Mrs. Hendricks to make the pjjsntalion at her house, hut had been refused on the ground that Mrs. Cleveland's visit was a private call at a private house, when a matter of that kind would bu inappropriate. Application was then mad3 to Mrs. McDonald, but without informing her of the previous request to Mrs. Hendricks, and she at once accorded the privilege requested. A soon as this was over the President gave his arm to Mrs. McDonald and led the v?ay to the d'ning room, fo'.lowed by Senator McDonald and Mrs. Cleveland and Governor and Mrs. Gray. Covers bad been spread for seven, but Col. Lament lsrt left the party soon after the call at, Mrs. Hendrika in order to prepare everything at the train for departure, on account of the lost time in tbe programme. The lunchaon which w.-.s served iu the parlors to oiher guests whil- the presidential party were at table, was simpie but elegantly prepared and very tempting. Chicken and sweetbread croquettes, Saratoga chips, French peas, hot light roils, chicken Falad, olive.?, case, ice cream, Unman punch and fruits were served. After- a tarry of twenty minutes the President and Mrs. Cleveland were still loth to leave, but Marshal Hawuins was inexorable aud the party made their adieus and moved on. The same order was rr?erved a before, except that Senator McDonald took Mr Frenzel's place in the first carriage. The party and escort then proceeded up Meridian, across on Seventh, down Delaware, and Prcnsylvania, as anpouceed, to Governor Gray's residence, where the military and political organizations were waitins. The procession was reformed at this point as before and moved over the announced line cf march through Pennsylvania, Washington and Meridian streets to the depot The sidewalks and windows were crowded ail the way. At the depot there was a very large crowd. In addition to filling no all the ground space three or four locomotives had ben backed up and these were completely crowed with spectators. So dense was the crowd that neither the horsemen nor the police on foot could opsn the way, and in consequence the President's carriage wa driven into the crowd, which forthwith made way for tbe eight grays and their load. Thruugh'a narrow passage the presidential party

the east end of the old depot, and eutered it, followed by Senator McDonald. Geo. KneSer andanumberof other committeemen. Ihese bade sdiea to tbe distinguished guest and withdrew, all receiving assurances mat the visitors were delighted with the city and the reception. In response to cheers from tbe crawd, Mr. aud Mrs. Cleveland came to the platform and remained during the two or three minutes before the train started. At leugth the car glided slowly into the depot, and the President Bnd his wife passed out of sight on their journey to tbe West INCIDENTS OF THE VISIT. Description of the Special Train In wblch the Presidential Party Trtvls. The special train which carries President Cleveland and party on their Western trip is made up of three cars, the first two being simply a section of the extra Pullman vestibuled train which is known as the "New York and Chicago limited" on the Pennsylvania railroad, the third car beir g Mr. Pullman's own private car. the "P. P. C." The first car, the "Alferatta. " is what is known as a "composite" car, the forward end being used as a baggage room. Next to this is as elegant and well appointed a library as would be found in any private house. A bath room and barber'6 shop are also in this car. Tbe second car is the sleeper "Yelasco," which will bo occupied by the President's party. It is built upon the latest and most approved models, with drawing rooms and all the conveniences. The "P. P. C," tbe last car on the train, is devoted exclusively to the use of the President and Mrs. Cleveland. It has done similar service for General Grant and his family during his administration, and has frequently been used by distinguished foreigners for trips through this country, as well as of President Arthur, Peter Cooper, and other Americans of prominence. Thrt P. P. C. was built by Mr. Pullman some twelve years ago, and while it is by no means the Aladdin's palace on wheels which is frequently described by imaginative and mendacious reporters, it is a car in which luxury and rare good taste have been happily combined. The car is being refinibhed on the outside in the standard Pullman colors, olive and gold, and the inside finish is of the combination type, so called because several different woods are used for the interior decoration. The rear end of this car is used as an observation-room, and through its broad plate-glass windows an excellent view of tbe srenery can be obtained. This apartment ia luxuriously furnished in mahogany and upholstered in blue glass plush. Next to this are the sleeping and dressing rooms, which are occupied by President ana Mrs. Cleveland. Tbey are daintily furnished in white satin wood, with a large folding bed and all tbe latest conveniences. The main saloon, which is used as a dining room, is handsomely furnished in oak with an old gold carpet and upholstery cf rich terra cotta silk plush. A fine parlor organ aud writing desk are built in at one end. Tbe forward end of the car is occupied by the kitchen, which is furnished in walnut and contains every convenience which the heart of tbe most accomplished chef could desire. The car is sixty feet long and is carried on two trucks of the No. 5 type, having six forty-two-inch paper wheels with four twin elliptic springs and four equalizing springs each. The equipment for electric lighting is put in by the Electric Accumulator Company. There are storsge batteries of thirty-two cells each, weighing about 1,300 pounds, and capable of running the lights about eight boors, under each car. The batteries are charged trom a dynamo located in the forward composite car, the Alferatta. and power to run the dynamo is obtained from the car axle. The lamps and fixtures are of the latest pattern, and the whole train is a model of comfort One of the pleasastest features of the train is the vestibules on the cars, which practically bring the whole train under one roof, so that Mrs. Cleveland can pass from car to car or can pet at her baggage in the forward compartment of the first car as easily as she could go from one room to another in the White House. A Prophet's. Trances in the State Ho one. Among the foreign guests who came to do tbe President honor was Mrs. Martha Woodard, of Chicago, a lady of some fame as a prophet She claims that for several years she has been made the medium for forecasting coming events, and has never yet beeu mistaken in her prophecies. Her presentiments come to her while she is in a trance. Whenever she is to be made a medium she becomes unconscious and remains in that condition until tbe vision has passed. She claims for herself that she predicted the assassination of Garfield, the death of General Grant, and many other prominent men. She has also foretold numerous railroad accidents, and has averted several horrors by notifying railroad men of her visions. Her desire to see President Cleveland was not all that induced her to come to the city. She knew the danger to which he would be subjected during his journey, and felt that if she should be called upon as the medium through which to foretell any danger lurking in his pathway, it would be better for her to be on the line of bis journey so she could quickly communicate her vision to those who would have it iu their power to eave his life. Mrs. Woodard was present at the State-house reception vesterday afternoon. Soon after the crowd began to pass through the building she fell in a trance, and while unconscious she had a remarkable vision. At a bridge a hundred miles this side of St Louis she saw an old beet man appear from a thicket of timber with a buckst of coal oil and a torch. The content of the bucket were poured upon the heavy timbers of the bridge, and then the torch was applied. The old man disappeared in the darkness, and tbe bridge blazed high in the air. Immediately following this sigtt Mrs. Woodard saw the presidential train rushing toward the burning bridge at a great rate of speed. Then tbe vision ended, and Mrs. Woodard became herself. She related what she had seen to some of those around her, but they looked upon her as some insane woman, and paid no attention to her story. After the reception was over, Bnd while leaving the Capitol, Mrs. Woodward had another trance, and the same vivid and horrid vision as before came to her. She felt that there was dancer ahead for the presidential party, and called upon M. J. Johnson with her story. She seemed so earnest and so intelligent that he went with her to call upon Mayor Denny. The Mayor was engaged, and sent her to Senator McDonald. After hearing her story, the Senator told her he bad faith in tbe men who were managing the presidential train, and did not think it was necessary to inform the party of tbe prophesied danger. The woman retired last night fully expecting to get up this morning and read of the train going through a burning bridge. Fewer Visitors than Were Expected. It was a busy day about the Union Depot, but not more than half as busy as was anticipated. Kailrjad men had made provisions for handling crowds something like those that came to see Grant, Hayes and Blaine on their visit to this city, but not more than half the cars provided f or use were needed. Nearly all the roads had pepared to run from two to three special trains, and some of them as many as five, but early in the morning the idea was abandoned, on the advice cf the station agents along the routes. Still the railroads brought in a great many people, all the regular trains came in well filled, and there were several he.ivily loaded specials. The J., M. & I. brought in fourteen coaches loaden to the lower step. The I., D. & S. road brought in two specials of ten cars each, and ail tha other roads one each. The gmatost crowds came in on tha Southern and Western lines. By 9:30 o'clock there was such a crush of humanity in the Union Depot that it was impossible to'run trains through the crowd with safety, and in order to avoid danger and facilitate matters the specials nearly all unloaded outside the depot The Vandaiia, Bee-line and L. E. & W. trains were unloaded at tbe crossing cf Virginia avenue. All the visitors had to go out through the depot last evening, and from 4 o'clock until 6 the old building was crowded. The depot officials had all thev could do to prevent accidents, but they succeeded in getting cut the trains without any one being injured. The old depot officers, who have seen and hardled all the big crowds the city has bad for ten years, say that the trains did not bring in more than half as many people as came to bee Blaine in 1884 . "They began coming in two days before then," said one of the ofScers, "and it was ten days afterward before we got them all our. The crowd that we have handled to-day makes a big show, because the people all came and weut within a few hours." , Injnrrof One of the Mounted Escort. Louis W. Weisenbirger, living at No. 727 North Delaware street, one of the mounted escort, met with a serious accident while with tha presidential party on North Meridian street The horse alipped aud fell, throwing him to the ground and rolling over him, with the horn of the saddle against his abdomen. He was picked up UDConciocs, and was carried to bis home in an apparently

lifeless condition. Dr. Henry Jameson was summoned, and found that no bones were broken, but that Mr. Weisenburger was very badly bruised and perhaps injured internally. He recorered consciousness late last evening, and Dr. Jameson says he will recover. The President Piys Kallroad Fare. Daniel K. Donough, the general ticket agent of the Union Railway Company, was counting a large pile of money when a Journal reporter stepped into bis office lart evening. "Where did you get all that!" was asked. "Got part of it from President Cleveland, was the reply. "How's that?" "VS'hv he bosght tickets ta St Louis the same as anv orainarv citizen," said Mr. Docough. Nine tickets were sold the presidential party from this city to St. Louis, for the regular fare. The pnrchae was made after the presidential train had backed down to tbe depot by a servant of the President who accompanies the party. The number purchased supplied every person on the train except the persons employed on the train. The Pullman car Is tbe only free car attached to the train. The others are rented by the road over which the party travels. Displeased with Their Reception. The Duckworth Club, the members of which include many a Cincinnati Democrat who is a veteran in politics, is withal a good-looking body of men. Its representatives here yesterday were mostly of the younger class of politicians Tbe club started from their city about daylight yesterday roorninc with the expectation of reaching Indianapolis at 10 o'clock. Near Liberty a broken-down engine of an Eastern bound train stopped the way. It took au hour aud a half to cle.ir the trafk. In the meantime, the Hendricks Club was at the Union Depot with a few cheers ready la expend when the Duckworths arrived. Tbe Hendricks members had a divided duty one at the depot and the other at the Noblestreet crossing to receive tha President Finally the waiting club left the depot and went on double quick to Noble street to receive the President Not oca of the crowd had been detailed to receive the Duckworths, who cam about the time the presidential procession reached the Capitol. The Cincinnatians, 1C2 strong, were bewildered and disgusted until a friendly Journal reporter told th--ni to go to Tennessee street, and thence north three squares to the capitol. They followed instructions, and arrived with numbers unbroken as the Governor was introdncing the President and Mrs. Cleveland to distinguished citizens in the State parlor. The Duckworths had no one to tell them what to do, so they followed their own inclinations, and entering at the sonth entrance the greater portion pnssed direetly through to the north out on to the Capitol grounds when the doors were closed and they could uot get back. About thi time the Hendricks Club became aware of the presence of the visitors and arranged for their admission, when they rejoined the few of the Cincinatians who had stopped on the way through at somebody's suggestion to do police duty. This detail had the club's banner and the large detachment outside was as much exercised over its supposed lot's, as over the apparent slight from the Hendricks Club. During the day cordial relations were restored, and at the time of the Duckworths' departure last night the Indianapolis and Cincinnati politicians were exchanging pledges of undying friendship. The latter left carrying away several Hendricks Club badges, while the home organization retained a like number of tbe Duckworths' insignia as mementoes of the visit Bnt a Duckworth, as he pulled off his hat to wipe his brow, said, "We will have to change our hats." "Why?" was asked. Because the Hendricks Club has adopted the same style and color." Laniont Reuiemberod Him. Jerry Mulroy is one of the head Democratic Sixth ward workers, of Cincinnati, and a member of tbe Duckworth Club. He is about as big as a pine shoe box. After years of hard service he got a government position in being assistant custodian cf the custom -h ouse. Jerry can give Sim Coy odds in peculiar methods in politics. It was partly his knowledge of political work that caused the committee of One Ilnndrod, of this city, to come into existence. Yesterday in the Capitol he said to Fred Mussey, cf the Commercial Gazette: "Introduce, me to Dan Lamont I want to know him." xlie introduction was performed and after Jerry bad retired, Lamont inquired: "Mulroy. Mulroy; who is . he!" "Why, don't you know? It was his record that raised a howl over bis appointment," 6aid Mussey. "Yes. ves. I remember bira now," hurriedly

answered Lament, as he suddenly found something else to enlist bis attention. The Dnck worths Serenade Mrs. ITendricks. Last evening the Duckworth Club, escorted by the Hendricks Club, called on Mrs. Hendricks, when, after serenading the distinguished lady, Mr. Olmstead, on behalf of the visitors, spoke very happily in expressing the esteem which the Duckworths held for Mr. Hendricks living, and love in which they held his, memory. Leon Bailey replied on behalf of the ldy in extending a welcome and regard for the widely-known Democratic club, of Cincinnati. She invited her visitors to pass through the house and inspect the rooms and surroundings that spoke of the home life of the late Vice-president Leaving this place the two clubs serenaded tbe Democratic newspaper ofiices, English and German, and then returned to ih Grand hotel, where a pleasant hour was passed together until tbe departure at 10 o'clock to the Duckwortns' special train. Tho Hendricks Club Is Mad. The Hendricks Club is not satisfied with the part it took in the entertainment of the President Its members think the executive committee cf arrangements ignored them, and reduced the club to a position of insignificance in tbe parade and reception. The Hendricks members say they ought, to have had the honor of presenting the President to the people, because they represent the special political friends of the distinguished Indianian who was 'elected with him. It is true that the club had matters perfested to manage the affair until the executive committee put a stop to it It is said that some of the members of tbe club at'ributa to the President a desire to keep the organization from a too conspicuous part in the affair, and hence they are proclaiming that tbey will not vote for him again. Minor Pe:ttire of the Occasion. There were quite a number of Chicago, Cincinnati and Lou'sviile detectives in the city yesterday looking after imported crooks. A number of Cincinnati detectives were on duty in the crowd yesterday. Among them were Schuncks. Crawford, Kuahman. Ryan, Hudson and Moses. Davad Pepper, manager of the A. & P. Tea Company, erected two platforms in front of his store, upon which he placed chairs, which were occupied by ladies. Consolation for the Richardson Rifles "If ever I find out who that feller was that pushed me back I'll make Johnny lick him." paid a suappy-eyed woman among the departing throngs. "I wouldn't go through there again for two dollars and a half." remarked a somewhatcrushed individual, as he emerged from tne north door of the Capitol. "Well, I got to eive a good yell when the old man went by," was the cheering response of a comrade. Col. D. H. Chase, of Logansport, was the most conspicuous member of the Governor's staff, solely by reason of the plaiuess of his uniform. All the others were resplendent in a'guillettes and epiulets and other brass uniforms, while be was in plain blue unadorned. How Co!on-1 Street-car Johnson's buzzum roust have swelled with pride when President Cleveland in his State house speech congratulated ludianartolis on having more miles of street-car track than any city in the United States! Dan must have made an error in coachinc. An enterprisine photographer mounted the west buttress of the Southern entrance to the Capitol and attempted to photograph the crowd after the presidential party had entered. It swung about so tauca that he could not get a focu on it, and thereupon abandoned the attempt. Mr. Bickferd, who accompanies the presidential party to represent the Asociated press, is one of the most accomplished and courteous gentlemen ia the profession. He is an old Washington correspondent and enjoys the respect of ail who have Lad the pleasure of meeting and knowing him. A banner stretched across Meridian street near the English Hotel, had a motto, "All honor to our Presi lent honest, qualified and faithful." A gentleman near the Journal office who could not distinguish all of the last wi.rd, read it, "All honor to our President honest, qualified and fat." Happy thought. During the reception in the rotunda, after several efforts that were thwarted by the polire, a graveling man succeeded in getting into Private Secretary Lamonl's hands a cheap and new silver watch. To it wera attached silk

ribbons red, white and blue and on the caRe

was neatly engraved: "10 Urover Cleveland, President of the United States. From a Traveling Mau." The donor persistently tried to give it to the President himself, but be as doterminedlr refused .o notice the man or the gift It was an advertising dodge. The Duckworth Club made a call at tha Evening Democrat c.flice, at 6 o clock laet evening, and finding Green Smith there, called on him for a speech. lie, of course, responded, and gave them some ideas of Jennings county Democracy thst enthused them. He di.in t have much to say about Cleveland and bis civilservice theories. The "able efforts" cf President Cleveland are prepared in advance. He is a very careful anl painstaking man. His impromptu speeches, and the thoughts which come to him "nt thij moment'' are all elaborated in the White House work shop, and put into type in the Government Printing Office. Tbe truly powerful effort in Indianapolis was written and stamped in i ashinton, and so with all the other speeches be will make at the towns and citit s of his route. It would be impossible fur a great statesmnn to "throw off a gigsntie efTort like Mr. Cleeland 1 address here: such do Dot come out except with great labor and fasting. Mrs. Banks, mother-in-law of Murat Halsteart, esrae nr from Cincinnati with the Duckwortns. Although quite an old lady she made ber way to the speaker's stand where she introduced herself to Mr. Lemcke and was by him presented to Mr. McDonald. On explaining who she was and that she was a Democrat from the Jeffersonian period, arrangements were made togirebera presentation to the President and bis wife, which was done in the period of quiet when the south doors had been closed at 1:10 o elraek. Albert Gall presented bis badge 10 Mrs. Cleveland, remarking that he understood she was a member of the executive committee at Washington aid ought to have tha insignia of ofiice. She accepted, with thanks. , UN ROUTE A(SAIN. Tho Reception at Terte Ifwute The Presi. dent's Speech. Terre Haute, Oct 1. At Terre Haute station several thousand persons thronged the track and platforms, and made tbe disembarkmentofthe party a difficult and 6on.ewhat dangerous proceeding. The President was received by ex-Secretary Thompson and a committee, and with his companions was driven to the Normal School building, in front of which a stand had been erected for the formalities of tot reception. The populace seemed oft fire with enthusiasm; accompanying tba carriages on their way and maintaining one unceasing din of cheers. Thousands of national flags were flying from the windows alorg the way, and many buildings were elaborately decorated with bunting. It was dark before the procession reached its stand, and tbe time for the departure of the train was already past. The great square contained as nearly as could be estimated by the glare of the electric lights more than 20,000 persons. Senator Voorhees called the assemblage to order, aeked for silence and announced tnat Hon. Richard W. Thompson would welcome to Terra Haute the President of tbe United Sttes. Mr. Thompson, in the course of his speech of welcome, dweit briefly on the boundless resources of the Mississippi valley, to which the President was making' bis first visit. He spoke of the pride of the people of Terra Haute in the Wabash valley, and especially ia their beautiful oity. He asked leave to anticipate that wben the President should have seen mora of the West he might realize morn than ever how ranch there was for ail to keep the United States in the front rank of nations, and conserve those principles for which the fathers fought The President replied as follows: "I have travelled now through tbe State of Indiana, and seen something of its fertility and wealth, and a little of its people. It seems fit tine that, as we leave its borders, we should, after tbe manner of parting guests, pause for a moment and express tbe pleasure which a brie( visit to your State bas afforded us. I am told, too, that Terra Haute is one of tbe most beautiful cities of which Indiana can boast and thif causes me to regret that 1 know so little about it and have so little opportunity now to see it The fact that this particular neighborhood form! the richest portion of a very rich and productive. State is a cause of congratulation which doubt less you fully appreciate; but of all your products, perhaps the most widely known is thf "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash." for this p!ac bas been prettv well advertised as the home oi that particular tree. During the last two and a half years I have become somewhat acquainted witb the 'Sjeamojo" and bave made nj raf mind that it bas . height enough and size enough for any locality or for any purnojs. Tbe name of your city indicates its beautiful and commanding location; the rich and fertile country all about it, its excellent means of transportation ani communication, and its extensive luannfactories and industries already ia operation deprive its citizens of any excuse if it shall not further expand and prosper. "The kind greeting and hearty welcome which; have been accorded us by the citizens of Indiana make us feel that we are parting with friends, and we shall remember none. amor.g them with more grateful pleasure than the people of Terrf Haute." Upon the conclusion of the speeches the visitors were escorted again to tbeir carriages, au4 as soon as they could be freed from ths tnuKU tude drove rapidly to tho depot and took tha train for St Louis. The tr.iin left Indianapolis half an hour late, but the time was made no before it reached Terre Haute. The President and 'Irs. Cleveland expressed themselves as delighted with the warmth and cordiality of their reception, and with the general appearance of tha town, its inhabitants and its public buildings. A single accident only marred tbe 1 leaxure of the visit On the way to th depot the horse ridden, by a member of the Gove rnor s stsfT. immediately in front of the President's carriage, became alarmed, reared, threw its rider and fell upon him. The man was assisted to his feet, but was laid upon the parking at tba Bide of the street, and remained thr. surrounded by a knot of his comrades as the procession moved past The time for leav,ne was already up and the visitors were driven to the depot without learning the name of the injured gentleman. Fervent bopa are expressed that tha accident may not prove as serious as it appeared in passinx. The stop at Indianapolis proved a rlief to tha fatigue) and monotony which n inevitable to thirty hours' continuous ride. The speech making wag commendably . Prief, it having already got abroad that this is not a missionary expedition, but simply one of exploration and discovery. The parting episode at Indianapolis was a stentorian invitation, aud.bla above the cheers of the multitude, to "come agiin, Grover." ta which tbe President raised his hat and smilingly bowed bis thanks. Among the mementoes of the visit brought away by the distmguiehfd guest is a Waterbury watch, which was presented by some one at the reception in the Capitol, engraved: "To Grover Cleveland, with the regards of a traveling salesman. " Two or three thousand pereonf were assembled at Grenmstle. Ind.. and paid their respects vociferously as the train rain pr.sl at a slow rate. A long train load of returning Grand Army men stood upon a siding, th asengers in which crowded its platforms and windows and waved and shouted their salutes. At lirnzil. Special to tu 2n4:anamIi Journ&t Buazil. Ind.. Oct L Between 2,000aDd 3.00J people wero gathered at the depot here at 5 r. M. as the President and party parsed thmurh. The train Hopped for a few minutes and tbt President and wif appeared on the rear plat form and acknowledged the informal ovatioa tendered them by the crowd. Arrival nt !St. Loots. St. Lons. Oct 1. The tram left Terra naute fifty-six minutes lat. As it moved off a hundred bands were eiretched upward, and their owners Bought to follow the train, many clinging to the railing and clamoring for the coveted grasp. "No." said the President, "I'll shake ca hands from a moving train; some of you will get killed or hurt I want no such responsibility." A measure of the enthusiasm created b7 tha presence of the chief magistrate of theRepublia is found in the fact, told by the railroa I people, that not less thsn f.,000 peorle had been brought in by the trains to day, manr of them from the distance of fifty or sixty miles, merely to look at him for the brie! appointed half hour of his stay; and this they bed done with the knowledge that . for half tht.tr number there would b no returning trains till Monday. During the absence of the excursionists from tbe train at Terre Haute, cormderaUe difficulty was experienced by the railroad people in protecting it from a mob of vandalB who remained at the station. One man with a big carving knife was fr nnd trying to chip o3 a piece of the President's car as a morcento. A mischievous fellow, who was somewhat intoxicated, sought an entrance to the train from the rea-, and being refused, went forward and succeeded in uncoupling the cars. Tha entire force of the train, a doz-n men, were ordered out and put on patrol duty around it. There were bonfires, torch and Chinese lantern displays, and brass baud serenades at near Continued ou bsveuth l'age.
