There was no pushing anywhere along the | respit line. There was no excitement. The peo- | le waited for hours, content to stand the sun and advance towards the bier inch by inch. Some people had stood in line fully three hours before they passed the coffin, and in one brief glance paid their tribute. Immediately in front of the east portico there Was a heterogenous gathering. People who id not get in line stood by in crowds and watched the faces of those marching on to the entrance as they slowly filed by two and two. No more than that number were allowed abreast in the line of march. Carriages were parked all around the plateau east of the Capitol. Their occupants did not get out, but seeing | the rush contented themselves with watchin the pilgrimage of the thousands who slowly but | surely got nearer the point for which they had | started.

Yesterday afternoon, after the arrival of the remains of the President, the train was shunted on one of the tracks in the yard. Those who de- sired to see the train were at first allowed that It was not long, however, before it was ascertained that there were some souvenir hunters who cut off the draperies, and the offi- cials were oblived to keep the crowd out. The funeral train to Cleveland will be ran by the engines and crews of each division of road on which it passes, viz:_To Baltimore, to Har- risburg, to Altoona, to Pittsburg, to Cleveland.

It was a broken cross of roses and immortelles. It is not known how many Senators will go to Cleveland with the body. There are many of them in the city. There will be a meeting th afternoon of the members of the House and each branch will appoint acommittee to accompany the remains to their final resting place. Every train that comes into’the city brings with it crowds of visitors. They find their way in ashort time to the Capitol, and join in the line to see the face of the dead President. There is no diminution of the stream that pours through the Capitol. At 2 o’clock this afternoon it waa as large as ever: in fact it had grown and arse its length further along to the east- ward. The offer of Mr. S. E. Middleton, president of the Philharmonic Society, of this city, to render appropriate music has been accepted by Mrs. Garfield, and the following selections ll be rendered by that society, assisted by our best | local talent, under the ‘direction of Professor wetzner: Anthem, “To Thee, Oh Lord, I eld iny ya ” from the oratorio of St. Paul, and the liar hymns esus, lover of my | seul,” and “Asleep in Jesus. | As far as was known this morning the mili- tary pageant to-morrow will consist of the troops at the arsenal, four companies at Fortress Mon- Toe. the District militia and the 5th Maryland regiment from Baltimore.

President Garfleld’s face has very much changed since yesterday, the discoloration of the skin having extended, rendering it advisable to powder the face in order to soften somewhat its darkened hue. It was stated last night that the coffin would be closed at 10 o’clock this morn- ing on account of the change that had taken place in the dead man’s face. but the body is still lying in state and is being viewed by multitudes. There will probably be no change made in the original plan to allow the remains to be seen until to-morrow. Sega A Tribute from the Ministers, OF PASTORS OF CITY CHURCHES—AC- TION IN RESPECT TO THE DEATH OF PRI D GARFIELD. = There was a meeting of the christian minis- ters of the District at Foundry chureh at 10:30 o'clock this morning, called _to take action on the death of the President of the United States. ‘The call was signed by Revs. B.

Richardson, Mc- Kendree; Dr. Hicks, Independent Congregation; Rey. Mr. Sontag, German Reformed; Rev. Dr. Cuthbert, Second Baptist, and several others, with Rey. B. Peyton Brown in the chair, and Rev. Dr. Ramsdell secretary. A committee, composed of Revs. Dr. Power, Richardson, Hicks, Sontag and Ryland, were appointed on resolutions, who, after a brief absence, returned and reported a series, which were discussed at length, and the following were adopted: God, whose judgments are unsearchable, but whose ways are always right, has permitted His servant, James A. Garfield, President of the United States, and our brother in the common faith, to be stricken down by the hand of an as- sassin. After many days of most painful and patient suffering He has taken him from his home and from the Church, as well as from his exalted Position in the government, to higher spheres of lessedness: Therefore, Resolved, That: whilst sharing in full measure this overwhelming sorrow which has touched the nation’s heart, even reaching beyond the scas, we yet bow submissively to the wisdom and love that are infinite and unerring, Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight. Resolted, That we rejoice in the Providence that exalted to the highest place in the nation one who from early youth and all through life was a pronounced disciple of Christ, 2nd who in every relation, domestic and public. whether in military or civil life, adorned the doctrines of God our Saviour in all things. The courage, and Patience: and fortitude, and hope so strikingly exemplified through his many days of great suf- fering are but the legitimate fruit of the faith which was in him and which dwelt firstin hisown devoted and now sorely bereft and venerable mother, God bless and comfort her! Kesolved, That we devoutly acknowledge the Divine goodness which has ready overruled this dire calamity for good in bvinging, through the common sorrow, all sections, and parties, and classes, and churches of our land nearer to’ the one brotherhood, great multitudes of them in the Spontaneity of a common faith supplicating the Pi MEETIN' hrone of the Heavenly Grace for the life of our dent, praying, as mission td the Dit but as Thou wilt, tesotved, That the noble life of James A. Gar- field in thé relations he sustained to the family. to the church and the government, his patriotism and purity, his courage and patience, his faith and piety, embalm in the heart of the good peo- of the'land as one worthy the Christi the exalted p to which God promoted im us the chief m: ate of the nation, Chri tian in its tradition and history and life ing him as a mode! amon ever should, in sub- Father, not as we will, ine will, mpathies go out to those who sta him ‘in the deared relations of wi and child, whose richest heritage will be the memory of a life whose tragic end enrolls him among the noble army of martyrs. Resolved, That acopy of these resolutions be forwarded to the afflicted family of our now sainted brother, and that we join with the nation in tears in the last sad rites at the Capitol and at the tomb, The same committee were authorized to draft a series of resolutions to present to Presid Arthur at a future day, and were also authorize to call a meeting at which such resolutions will he read, and the clergymen will proceed to the Executive Mansion to present them. President Garfield's Life Insurance. The Philadelphia agent of the New York Equitable Life Insurance Company, who in- sured the dead President's life for $10,000 ten days before he was shot, is in the city. Ina brief conversation, he detailed the circumstances of thetaking out of the policy. According to his statement, the company sent him over to beron, while the President was there with his the latter to insure was at first opposed 5 to the ide: but because, ag he stated to agent, he could not afford to the premium. After a good deal of discussion not that he did not want to insure, the ceeded in getting him to take out a policy for 0,000, agreeing to take his note for the pre- mium, which amounted to over #500. President artield gave two notes for the sum—one at three and one at five months. Neither of them have yet been paid, although one of them fell due erday. The company has, however, sent on check for the amount of the insurance, and will collect the notes from the estate.” The ent. from whom the Star man received the above facts, said he had come on to Washington expressly to deliver the check to Mrs. Garfield. Se The Williams College Alumni, The Washington Williams College Association met this morning at the Court of Claims. The president, Senator Ingalls, presiding. Letters of regret from absent members were read. Reso- lutions expressive of the bereayement and deep sorrow of the association in this national and Oona calamity were passed. Senator Ingalls, U. S.

The business men upon Pennsylvania avenue are taking measures to-day to secure the closing of business establishments on that street to- morrow, and it is probable that there will be a co-operation in this movement throughout the city, so that there will be a general suspension of business. There is but one feeling prevailing in the hearts of the entire community, and that is to leave nothing undone that wili serve to manifest the grief of the people of Washington on this occasion.

A gentleman who came in from Falls Church, to-day, says that everywhere on the way one sees the symbols of sadness huny over the homes aid business places of the people. —___—$<e.—_ Congressional Committees.

THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL ADDRESS. SILLEEE HAUTE GR —_— It was after ha one when the President left the Vice Pre: room of the Senate. He | was driven at once to Senatar Jones’ r i where he lunched at two o'clock. F hour he remained in the house receiving a num- | ber of distinguished callers. President Arthur was up at 7 o'clock this morning and breakfasted at 8 with his host, Senator Jones. About 9 quite a number of car- riages had brought callers to the house, and were drawn up at the cuib. All of the Cabinet called, Secretary Blaine being the first to arrive. Quite a number of Senators and members also paid their respects to the President. From 9 until half-past 11 the President's rooms were crowded. At about quarter before 12, accompanied by Senator Jones and Gen. Grant, President Arthur was driven to the Capitol, and alighted at the Senate wing of the east front. He quickly en- tered the building bythe basement door. and proceeded thence to his old room. the Vice Pres- ident’s room in the rear of the Senate lobby. Soon quite a number of Senators. the members of the Cabinet, and others distinguished in pub- lic life entered the room. Then it became noised about that the oath of the presidential office was again to be administered. It wasten minutes after twelve when Chief Justice Waite and Justices Harlan and Matthews entered the room. The Chief Justice was clad in the robes of his office. Clerk McKinney had with him a small Bible. Simultaneous with the arrival of the Chief Justice there was profound silence. With some seeming hesitation, as if unacquainted personally with the new Presi- dent, the Chief Justice advanced and extended his hand. It was taken and a most cordial greeting extended. Then Clerk McKinney advanced and - presented the Bible to the President. He laid his hand upon it. when the Chief Justice, with due solemnity. administered the oath. It was simple and short. It merely consisted of an obligation to faithfully administer the high office to which he had been called. As the President kissed the book he said, in a clear voice, “So help me God.” The scene when the oath wastaken wasimpres- sive in the extreme. At the right ofthe Presi. dent stood Senator Jones and Speaker Geo. Sharpe, ot New York. Ex-President Hayes was a conspicuous figure, well in the fore ground, cress aa) ee President Arthur's First Proclamation. MONDAY NEXT APPOINTED AS A DAY OF MUMILI- ATION AND MOURNING.

A great excitement was caused on the avenue at a quarter to one o'clock this afternoon by the falling in of the large new storehouse of Messrs. Barbour & Hamilton, on B_ street, be- tween 6th and 7th streets, in the rear of No. 614 Pennsylvania avenue. The accident was caused by the immense weight of the merchandise that was stored on the three floors of the building. There were 5,000 or 6,000 barrels of flour, a lot of whisky, and a large quantity of canned, boxed and bagged goods. The | third story, which is the highest, gave way first, and carried with it the second, precipitating the whole weight to the first floor. Several men were at work in the building at the time and all had a marvelous escape, those in the back part having to crawl out from under the debris of the whole building. The most injuries that any of them received werea few slight cuts and | bruises. In the third story, which is thehighest, | were the engineer, John Closby, John Powers, aclerk, and two visitors,a gentleman named B. F. Bingham and a little boy that was with him, named Arthur Seyboul. On the second and third floors were Charles Power, H. T. Walker, George Washington cr ored),’ A. Heitmiller and H. F. Kingsley. ‘The floors Oy giving in the center inade a compara- tively clear space on one side of the house, and the men seeing this made for the side and gotun- der the desks.

All hearts are filled with grief and horror at the hideous crime which has darkened our land; and the memory of the murdered Pres- ident, his protracted sufferings, his unyielding fortitude; the example and achievements of his life and the pathos of his death will forever illumine the pages of our history. For the fourth time the officer elected by the peo- ple and ordained by the Constitution to fill a vacancy so created is cailed*to assume the exec- utive chair. The wisdom of our fathers foresee- ing even the most dire possibilities, made sure that the government should never be imperilled because of the uncertainty of human life. Men may die, but the fabrics of our free institutions remain unshaken, No higher or more assuring proof could exist of the strength and permanence of popular goy- ernment than the fact that though the chosen of the people be struck down, his constitutional successor is peacefully installed without shock or strain except the sorrow which mourns the bereavement. All the noble aspirations of my lamented yredecessor which found expression in his life, the measures devised and suggested dur ing his brief administration to correct abuse: and enforce economy; to advance prosperity and promote the general welfare; to ensure domes- tic security and maintain friendly and honorable relations with the nations of the earth, will be garnered in the hearts of the people, and it will be my earnest endeavor to profit and to see that the nation shall profit by his example and experience. Prosperity blesses our country, our fiscal policy is fixed by law, is well grounded and generally approved. No threatening issue mars our foreign inter- course and the wisdom, integrity and thrift of our people may be trusted to continue undis- turbed the present assured career of peace, tranquility and welfare. The gloom and anxiety, which have enshrouded the country, must make repose especially welcome now. No demand for speedy legislation has been heard. No adequate occasion is apparent for an unusual session of Congress.
