MILLARD AVENUE STATION, CHICAGO. IN CLV MAGNIFICENT PRE Tweelal bt stea to The C: CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 24.—All that is earthly of James A. Gurticid was borne throuzn the streets of Cleveland today and deposited in the pavilion and catafalque whicn mark tke centre of the public square, there to remuin until Monday. wheu bis noble clay will be interred at Lake View Cemetery. The Forest City presented all the outward insignia of wo inits profuse fuueral decorations, und the heartbeats of its loyal and foving citizens juined in an inaudible accom- pantwent to the dirges which broke upon the mir as the solemn parcant wended Its. way through the streets. It was in Cleveland where, next to Wastiaston, perbaps, Garfield was more fatiliarly and more generally kuown, and in Cleveland, probably us much so as any other city in the country, is his logs regarded not onls as a National calamity, but as A DEEP PERSONAL BEREAVEMENT.

Work equal to the fact that the sun was now and then obscured by masses of clouds, the wenther was insutferably hot. These two ameliorating intluences were in reality only an aggravation, for, when they were suspended, everything was doubly unccmfortable.. The streets “were thronved from carly merning with crowds made up net ouly of the wative population but of yisitors from nearly every city,:villazo, and bumlet throughout the State of Obio, with a vencrous eprinkling from the States beyond, as far west as Mlinois, and possibly farther.

It wus u day and a’scene suggestive of the cypress and the yew, of “graves, and worms, and epl- taphs.” It was apparent, from the incomplete- ness of the public decorations during the morn- ing, that the peoploof Clevelund had endeavored to do a greutdeal in a comparatively short space of time, and hudu't quite succeeded as well as they could wish. The keystone arches at most of tno entrances to the square were finished in their sombre white and black, but the larger and more ambitious ones on the other side, as well us the wonderful pavilion and catafalque tn the centre were fur from complete, and, indeed, were nut absolutely. finisbed until tate in the evening, long after the body of the martyred President bad been reverently Inid upon tho black velvet cutafalque, in an atmosphere made fragrant by one of THE LARGEST, CNOICH AND COSTLIEST FLORAL COr 10! ever gotten together. ‘the magnitude of tho undertaking and the results accomplished within go short atime retlected considerable credit upon Cleveland enterprise, while the private decorations, generally heavy, and in ex- cevdingly goud taste, naturally bightened and improved the general sombre yet pleasing ef- fect. The contre of nttraction during the early puirt of the day, aside from the public square und its constantly srowing funereal attractions, was the Euclid avenue station of tho Cleveland & Pittsburg Road, ,at which the funeral train was to arrive early in the afternoon, THE DEPOT ia some three miles from the centre of the city, and the immediate approaches thereto were yuarded and kept clear by sentries scattered bere nad thore up and down the streets. ‘The single track of railroad at this point crosses Buclid avenue, running east and west, and Wil- son avenue, running north und south, forming a triangular intersection, around which were drawn up Oriental and Holyroud Commanderic of Cleveland, some 290 strony, the far-famed Cleveland Grays, duably conspicuous for their yellow plumes, and back of thom, in great surg a throng of patient humanity, wait- ing in respectful silence for the moment when the form of one who was cold in death and yet warm in the hearts of his countrymen should arrive in their mits +E LITTLE UNPRETENTIOUS BRICK STATION inclosed within the triangle, aud tanked onone feby a large park fronting on Wilson avenue, was modestly draped. in alternate bh white, while ucross _ Euclid avenue a large white banner, bearing the simple legend "J.

The local committees ands thes members ot the ‘a honorary organizations from other cities looked with practiced eyes to the execution of all those little details insepara- ble from an occasion of such a chifacter. But the cynosure of alleyes, prior to the ar- rival of the funeral cortége, was 4 THE SOMBRE HEARSE, backed up on the Wilson avenue side, which was to convey the dust of the Nation's late Chief to its temporury resting- place in the Pub- ‘The death-angel seemed to be en- mong Its heavy masses of black, wait- jug for the approach of its precious victim. Dark and cheerless it looked as It stood there waiting ive its load of extinct humanity, but its ‘hue was made all the more intense by the funeral trappmzs which decked it forth. ‘The body of the vebicle was covered with beny futds of blick broadcloth festooned with mis: ive bands of heavy black rape. -The only in- or decoration consisted of small American s. uppropriaiely draped in the one all-per- yading hue. FOUR COAT-BLACK HORSES provided the motive power ‘for this carriage of death. Euch of the four wore a full broadcloth neck and body blanket, edged on its lower fold with a silver tringe, and each was ied by a cqi- ored groom. The Forty-second Ohio, Gen. Gar- field's old regiment. now reduced to less than fifty members, veld the place of honor, and uurded tho hearse. Twenty thousand people were vd in and. around the plice, but all was a5 quict as the tomb itself. It was atime for thouzuts and sighs, and half-audible wnls- pers—nout for words. SLOWLY AND SADLY, to the measurea and mourntul rluging of the bell, the engine. heavily draped, whieh drew tho funeral train came down the track and halted in front of the station, It was twenty -minutes t1. Alow murmur, not unlike r to ree h, arose from the vast crowd, and ia an in- stant, every head was reverently uncovered and bared to the sun's beating rays The Knights and the military psesented arma, and preparations were immediately set on foot tor mbarking. ‘too. ered ot honor, cou- ing of tho wrst “Ofeces of the army ana oonavy of .the \ United — Stutes, and including the familiar ‘and striking faces and forms of Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, Drum, and Kogers, nil the mere impressive in their full uniforms, alighted from the train and formed in double rank at tho side of the funer- al car. THE MILITALY BODYGUARD, icuous in their white hats ond full uni- tenderly lifted the casket from the couch, and earried it on their powerful shoulders through the ranks of the suard of honor to the hearse, while the Cleveland Grays’ Band played a mournful mure for tho dead.

Miss Mollie Gariietd and the other mem- durs,as well ag intimate friends of the family, followed in due order, while the guard of honor brought up the rear. MES. GARFIELD AND TER FAMILY, instend of entering the procession which now formed, were driven directly to the residence of the Hon, Jaines Mason, where thoy will stay un- til after the obsequies. The second section of the train, bearing the Congressional delegation, arrived a few moments later. The delegation Ss escorted to carriages, and the sad provés- mn sturted, The cortéye was perbaps half 2 inile long, but could eusily have been made tonger, and possibly more impressive, bad it been expanded instead of belne condensed in length by the wide columns tmarcbing abreast. Col. Wilson, of the Government lizhthonse, service, aud his staff rode at the head in cum- mund of the funeral escort. The Silver Grays’ Bund and the celebrated Forest City Lroop rol- lowed closely. THEN CAME THE IEATSE, guarded by the Knights Temp! in columns of three and flanked by ten horsemen of the City ‘Troop on enck side. ‘Tho Cleveland Grays, the remnants of Gen. Garticld’s old regiment, the members of the Cubinet, Gen. Sherman and his aides, the euard-of honor, and the Cougressionat detegation aud other distinguished guests made up the remainder of the melancholy procession, which, to the solemn tolling of the chureh bells, marehbed down Euclid avenue and Eric street, turned into Superior, and thon in part pro- ceeded to the cutufaique in the public square. When the column reached the Custom-House arch, the cavalry brlted, formed in Hae, and the hearse with the Templars passed * INTO THE SQUARE. ‘This portion of the ceremony was of the most impressive character. The workmen on the arebes and the eatafulque, who had been burry- ing up tatters since daylight, suddeoly censed their labors, disflounted from their perches, and, wita uncovered heads, zazed at the moving spectacle. ‘The bund pliyed another dirze, while the big bell of the First Presbyterian Churet, just outside the square, tolled a colemn accumpaniment. ‘The Knights Tempiar formed in Hue on the left as they approached the pavilion and were backed by a Mne of the local military. A detachment of the Knights, thereupon passed up the ineline leading to the catafalque, and .the members’ of the local committees ranged themselves on either sidi THE HEAME turned in towards the right, while the band, in mutiied tones, played “ Pleyel’s Hymn," and the patl-beurers. with uncovered heads, bore the body up the pavilion. incline, aud deposited it. on the catafalqua, where the utmesphere was fairly laden with the breath of flowers, Among those who’ stood about the remains ag they were . once more Inaid to rest were Go Foster, of Ohio, and W-S. Ruse, of Washington, 2 long-time friend of the dead President, and 2 leading member of the Christian Church which he attended. Twelve members of the City Troop, adorned 2s to their -hends with immense benrskin caps, were selected to guard tho body, and took up their position In threes around the catafalque. THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, with their vencrable-looking chaplain, dressed in his full robes, the members of tue local com- *mittees, and the remainder of the escort there- + upon withdrew, and the workmen resumed their task of putting the finishing touches to the arches, the pavilion, and the catafalque, teaving tho dend under the care of tne bearskin- capped guard. Tne park was opened toa few, who were provided with passes during the after- noon and evening, at which Iatter time the -pa- vilion: electric lights were all turned on, but none others were udmitted to the silent pre- cinets which inclosed the dead. % THE WORKMEN KEPT HAMMERING AWAY alt night. The necessity for their doing so is naturally deptored, and generally looked upan as about the only cireumstance which may be said to inar so solemn an occasion. The remains will not be exposed to public view either in the public squure or at the cemetery. The time for that hns pussed. When the casket wus sealed in Washington yestorduy it was sealed for good, and the unrecognizable features of what was onee so grand «combination of manly strength and beauty will henceforth be very properly bid from the public's gaze. ‘The park will be thrown open tomorrow, however, ana a stream of hu- manity will puss through to gaze, not on the body, but on the yelvet-coyered casket which incloses it. THE WIND IS HOWLING OVER THE CITY tonight, and there are indications of a heavy rain-storm, buta detuehment of the Fire De- partment and tre-patro! people are stationed in the square, prepured tu cover the appronehes to the catafalque with tarpaulins in case the wind should drive the rain in towards the casket. The decorationsin the square, as well as elsewhere, will belikely to sutfer from the portending del-.:! uge, but, 1s they are at.best only “ the outward truppings and the suits of wo,” any injury of this sort will scarcely be viewed us an irrepara- ble damage. .

Officers who accompanied the funeral train with the remains of President Gar- Held repurt there was one continuous demon- stration ull along the line. At the larger towns gercat numbers of people assembled, and at tho residences between stations lights were dis- played in the bands of the occupants. At Al- toona a great number of people. were assembled around the station, estimated at 10,000, At Lewiston the teack was strewn with flowers. Especially large demonstrauous were noticeable at Iluntingdon and T¥rone. THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA. Pittsnuna, Pa. Sept. 24—The President's funeral train left Altoona on time, and passed Jobnstown at 3:15 a.m, About 3,000 people bad congregated at the depot, with uncovered heuds, and all were silent. The bells of all the churebes, school-houses, and engine companics were tolled. Derry Station was reached at. $:50 o'clock. Mundred3s were gathered there, and tho Same scencs were onnztod. AT PITTSBURO. Special Dispatch to ‘The Chicago Tribune. Prrrsucng, Pa. Sept. 24.—Pittsburg was wide awake last night, and hundreds were on the sireets long before daylight anxiously awaiting the arrival of the train bearing the remains of President Gartield. At 5:20 the bells commenced to toll, announcing the upproach of the funcral train, The train was announced to arrive at 5:11, but two minutes before the time was up the engine to which the cortéze was attached slowly made its way down the tracks of the Fort Wayne Railrund to a point immediately to the right of te depot buildings. The train consisted of bagenge-car, the car containing the body, and four sleepers occupied by the fum- ily of the deceased, the Cabinet, and invited guests. The train was heavily draped in mourn- ing, and presented a very sombre nppearance. The body was in the second cir, in enurge of a squad of artillerymen, consisting of a Licuten- ant, Sergeant, und seven men. ‘The biack cottin VICTORIA and two crosses of pulin-leaves. Itoccupied the centre of the car, and was clevuted tow helyut which enabled the crowd to sce it through the open window. About the time the train crossed the | city line and tho first solemn note of the bell sounded from the tower of the city-hall, a cloud swept across the sky and draped tho face of the sun in binek, ay though the heavens reflected (ie gloom of the earth below. The bells in the churches throughout the city took up the mel- ancboly refrain, and as the train swept towards the Union Depot the solemn barmony circled the vocal tokens of the people's sorrow to the furthest borders of the city. For ten miles or more out on the Pennsylvania Railroad at all the stations and stopping pla the stillness at the hour of daybreak broken by the soft trend of feet and the low tuned eonversntion of the thousands who had gathored to watch the funeral train us it bur- ried past. An hour of waiting for some kad only served to increuse the interest in THE MELANCHOLY EVENT which first inspired it. Allegheny wus deemed the best polnt to obtain a glimpse of the solemn pageant by thousands of people, and as early us ailf-past 4 o'eluck the crowd commenced to warm across the various bridges. In a very sbort time all the available space at the street crossings and along the track was occupied by an enger yet subdued throng, and the strenin of Inter comers and residents of Allerheny generally turned their faces toward tho parks, where tho best view could he obtained, The crowds at the advantageous points were made up of persons of all ages and conditions—old men and women leaning on their staifs for support, little children too young to comprehend the import of the gathering, work- ingmen and women with tuneb-baskets ou their arms, who ghidiy deprived themselves of an hour or two of sleep in order thut they might by their presence pay the lust tribute of respect to THE DEAD CHIE all were there, and the sad expression on the faces of all, the absence of the jostling and angry words usual in tho strife for the best ph pluiuly showed the subduing influences eat sorrow. At 5:20 the lirst deep tone ot the bell at the City- Hull sounded throug the heavy air and assured the people thut the train ad reached the eastern border of tho town, hen came the ucarer notes of the Allegheny fire-alarm bell, and at Inst the bells of all sckools and churches aweiled the waves of sound and increased the subdued excitementof the throng. By this tine probably 6,000 persons were zuth- ered long the tricks. As day broke und the sim rose the crowd grew more rapidly, and the rails were walled m with compact m: of people. At last, when every foot of space along: the track from Marion strect to the outer depot, a mile’s length, was packed with people, when every objcet that could sustain weight bure its load of humanity, and when the bands of time- pieces marked 6:20, there was heard THE CLEAR RING OF A LOCOMUTIVE BELL, and the word passed along “The train is_com- ing." As the heavily-draped front of Engine 27 showed itself every man’s bat was lifted, and every head vent eagerly, but reverently, for- ward, and every eye guzed Intently at the slow- in freignted with tho loved dead und the stricken living. All eyes fastened ou the second car of the six forming the train, through whose crape-curtalned windows could be seen the casket containing the President's inammuate clay, with its surroundings of beau- tiful floral tributes. From the park bridge fell ashower of lowers upon the shrouded engine and upon the track before it. It was a sight that WILL BE KEPT LONG IN THE MEMORY of those who witnessed fl. As the last car faded in the distance the vast crowd Hngered uo few miuutes, then rapidly melted away. At 7:05 the second section of the tuneral train thundered through the parks, though but very few persons waited co uote its passing, for the interest of. the people bad died out with the slow fading from view of the first train. After the second train had cleared the yard work was resumed among the tracks at. the outer depot,and the inter- rupted bustle, and roar, and clang was taken up, while the body of the dead President rolled towards its grave at the Forest City.

New York, Sept. 24,—The entire village of Peekskill tried to pack itself last evening into tho First Methodist Episcopal Church to partici- pate in the memorial services to the late Presi- dent which had been arranged for at a mas: meeting of the citizens on Tuesday evening last. ‘The chureb is the largest in town, but it was en- tirely too smull to accommodate the throng, and even after the Presbyterian church adjoimz had been packed with an overflow meeting there was still a great crowd in the street unubic to get into either of the buildings. The fact that the Key. Henry Ward Beecher was to deliver an address was suflicient of itself to draw the peo- pie, und they. went thither from miles around to beur their xreat townsman speak on the subject of the untversal sorrow. Chauncey M. Depew also went back to nis native town to participate iu the expsession of the popular wo. Gen. Husted also was on the list of speakers, which embraced all the pastors in town as well. The services opened with tne exquisit rendering of an anthem by a large volunteer choir, when Thomus Nel- gon, tho Chairman of the Committee of Ar- ransements, opened the spvechmaking witha few remurks, wdvising all to get the lesson of fraternu! forbearance which the trazedy pointed, und introduced as the Chairman of the evening Mr. Frederick W. Seward, who made a brief in- troductory address. After the adoption by a rismg vote of asct of resolutions prepared by Calvin Frost, the Chairman introduced Mr. Beecher, saying: “We will be addressed by a fellow-townsman whom ycu ull know.” Mi, BEECHER’S ADDRESS, Mr. Beecher was listened to in the deepest silence; and, theugh he spoke in a low, slow yolee, not a word was lost to a single car. Ie suid: "The time will come when we shall bave fright to expect from competent minds a enre- fuland elaborate biography of President Gar- field. It ill becomes us at thfs time, when we are wll under a cloud, in deep sympathy with one another, that I sbould take tho time in flights of fancy and in eloquent periods. ‘This isa funcral service.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tridung, WasuixGTos, D. C., Sept. 24.—The attending surgeons in President Guetield’s case are very much anuoyed at the statements made relative to the uutopsy. Dr Woodward, the miero- scopist in the case, of whom an emincat surgeon said, “He has been studying flies’ legs tor twenty years,” says: “Ot course we cannot stop to answer all the lies that are told, but wa intend to publish a reply to this which will cleay everything up. The origin and animus of the attucks are plain enough.” Dr, Woodward dee clined to say more than ho had, except in the ollicial statement to be published. In performs 1ug the autopsy upon the body of the President, the cutting was made from beiow up to the ribs, ‘The tlups of the skiu were then thrown to either side, and all that was within takea out. ‘The ball was not found where expected, but was discoys ered where it really was, without any trouble or any diving, Or gross manipulation of the part taken out. DR. REYBURY says there was no truth in the story referred toy adding that the whole report was too fnsulting 3° lie tu be answered. Dr. Keyburn suid na was done with the cuse, ana be would not be dragged into any controversy about it, He said bo would not condescend to notice the matter, and that he would not join the other surgeons of the case in any reply. Dr. Reyburn considered that the charge contained in the publication was a inuSt serious imputation upon the characters of the late President's surgeons, and suid it was toa” contemptible to draw any reply or notice from? him. DR. BLISS said the autopsy had been accurately reported: tbat the bull, when found, wus completely en- ; ed; that it wasentirely covered with a thia coutiug that hud formed over it, and was 80 firmly imbedded that it bud to be cut out, The couting was perfectly smooth, g . PROMINENT PHYSICIANS HERE, upon being questioned today, are of the opinion that beroie Surgery could not buve sayed Gare ueld. Tis wound, in the light of the autopsy, was a fatal one. Viewed in the light of the di- aguosis upon whieb bis case was conducted, the Presideut ought to have recovered, aud the con- tidence of the surgeons, up toa late date, was tully warranted by the supposed track of the ball, ‘The fact that the patient lived for seventy+ nine days after being wounded, as known no™ will always be regarded us one of the most re- markuble triumphs of medical skill in the treat- ment of wounds and disease. The detailed statement of the autopsy is being prepared at the Army Medical Museum by Prof. Lamb, 23 sisted by Drs. Barnes and Wood. ‘It will be pub- Ushed by the Medical Department of the army.
