With some difficulty | 1 THE TRAGIC EVENT That Resulted in the Death of Presi- dent Lincoln. MEMORIAL MEETING WHERE HE DIED The Personal Recollections of the Only Cabinet Survivor. THE PROMINENT SPEAKERS It was specially fit and proper that the first public meeting of the Lincoln Me- morial Association of the District of Colum- bia should be ‘held in the humble private dwelling, 516 10th street, where the martyr- ed President breathed his last twenty-nine years aso Saturday. That lamentable event was aj propriately commemorated by the association and its friends and well-wishers Saturday evening. Vice President Steven- son acted as chairman of the meeting in the absence of Chief Justice Fuller, orig- inally selected for that duty, who had gone to New York to attend the funeral of his friend, David Dudley Field. The first ad- éress of the evening was made by Secretary Herbert, who apologized for lack of prep- aration and then paid an eloquent tribute to Lincoln. It was a sad day, said the Secretary, for the whole country when he fell at the hands of a crazy assassin, but saddest of all for the people of the south. If he had lived the south would have been recon- structed on different lines and ‘he recon- struction acts of 1867 and 1868, which kept the sections apart so long, would never have been passed. The time is coming when all must acknowledge that the reconstruc- tion policy attempted by Andrew Johnson was in reality the policy of Abraham Lin- coln, but that he was not able to carry it out as Lincoln would have done. “Nowhere in this country,” said Mr. Herbert, in con- clusion, “wee the virtues of Abraham Lin- coln more honestly acknowledged than in, and by, the people of the south. He was indeed a model of ‘charity to all and malice to none.’ * Mr. John G. Nicolay read a highly in- teresting paper on the character of Lin- coln, which gave evidence of care and deep study. Rev. Dr. Hamlin then explained that Mr. Hugh McCulloch, the only* surviving mem- ber of Lincoln's cabinet, was too feeble to be with them, but had prepared a paper which, owing to his age and feeble health, was the result of a great deal of labor, giv- ing some recollections of the assassination = Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Hamlin read it as fol- Ww re had been a cabinet meeting at the presidential mansion on the afternoon of April 14, at which all the members of the cabinet were present, except Mr. Se- ward, his son Frederick taking his ce Mr. Seward had been thrown out of his c riage a few days before and had had his jaw broken. On his way from the treasury Mr. McCulloch called on Mr. Seward and found him doing weil. At dinner that day Judge Carter and Commissioner Doyle in- quired about the state of the country at the cabinet meeting. Mr. McCulloch told them the reports were extremely satis- factory. “Gen. Grant had just returned from Ap- pomattox, and was present at the cabinet meeting. He reported that the southern officers were resigned to the situation and ready to go home to attend to their own af- fairs, so long neglected. It was a beautiful evening. After dinner we walked past the White House; the shrubbery was in bloom, and Mr. McCulloch remarked that Mrs. Lincoln would have another four years to enjoy her position in Washington. Mr. McCulloch was very much fatigued and re- tired early. little after 10 o’clock a neigh- bor knocked at my door, asking me if I heard the horse that cantered by. She sald the man on that horse has killed Mr. Sew- ard and all his family. Mr. McCulloch arose, dressed, and before he left the room another knock came. Mr. Walker of the Treasury Department called to him: ‘M Lincoln has just been assassinated in Ford's Theater.’ “Mr. MecCuiloch said: I never saw Mr. Lincoln so cheerful and happy as on the day of his death.’ Brutal Attack on Seward. “All patriotic people were rejoicing at the good news from the south. We were living in the Cass building, now a part of the Ar- lington Hotel, not more than a stone’s throw from the house occupied by Mr. Sew- ard, to which, Mr. McCulloch said, ‘I imme- alately ran.’ The outside door was open, and I saw no one as I went upstairs and throygh the hall to Mr. Seward’s sleeping room, except Mrs. Frederick Seward, who was just entering another room to attend upon her husband, whose skull had been fractured by a blow from her father-in- law's assailant, whom he had met at the head of the stairs and had tried to arrest. As I entered Mr. Seward’s room Mrs. Sew- ard left it, and I was for a minute or two alone with her father. He had been raised from the floor to the bed, upon which he Had been thrown by his murderer. He lay upon his blood-stained bed, with his wound still bleeding. As I took his hand he opened his eyes and seemed to recognize me. His wounds were ghastly, but did not seem to be fatal. His breathing was regu- lar and his pulse was full and strong. To keep the bones in place where his jaw had | been fractured an elastic wire bandage had been placed on one side of his face, extend- ing down to the throat. This bandage pre- vented at least one of the blows of his pow- erful assailant from being a death-blow. It was aimed at the throat, but the bowie knife, though wielded by a strong hand, was diverted when it struck the bandage, and failed to inflict a deadly wound. “The life of Mr. Seward was, however, saved by his army nurse, George F. Robin- son, who was in attendance upon him. As the assassin entered the room and, knife in hand, was rushing toward the bed upon which his intended victim was lying, Robin- son, although greatly inferior in strength, seized hold of his left arm and prevented him from using his right arm with full force. When Robinson prevented him from killing Mr. Sewarg, the assassin turned upon Mr. Robinson, gave him a stagzering | blow, dashed through the hall and down the stairs, and in a moment he was on the horse which he had left standing on the sidewalk. Some days after he was arrested | in the house of Mrs. Surratt, which he had entered disguised as a laborer. As soon as | @ surgeon and one or two friends had en- | tered the room, I left it to learn the fate of Mr. Lincoln. At Lincoln’s Bedside. “I had not gone far toward the White | House before I met a number of men, who | told me he was not there. I then ran down | the avenue to F street, down F to 10th | street, and thence to the theater, around which a large crowd had gathered, through which I pushed my way to a house oppo- site the theater, and presently I was at the | bedside of the dying President. Mr. Stan- ton, Mr. Weils, Mr. Denison and Mr. Speed, members of the cabinet, were already there. Surgeon General Barnes, Gen. Meigs, Mr. Se@mner and a number of other friends of the President were also present. The death- like paleness of Mr. Lincoln's upturned face, his stertorous breathing and the grief- stricken countenances of the men around him, indicated too clearly, as I entered the room, that his case was hopeless. All night we stood or sat silent by bis te. Not a word was spoken except by Mr. Stanton, who gave directions in under- | tones through messengers, to officers, to guard the exits from the city to prevent, if it might be possibile, the escape of the as- sassin. Once only’ was the impressive | silence broken, when Mrs. Lincoln came in, and kneeling by the bed and clasping the hand of her unconscious husband, gave vent |to her trrepressible grief, in tones that pierced every heart and brought tears to every eye. When she was led away, silence ag prevailed, and continued unbroken un- | til 7 o'clock in the morning, when the death shade came over his face, and Mr. Lincoln was at rest. A Grief-Stricken City. “Tt had been a sleepless night In Washing- ton. The theater in.which Mr. Lincoln was shot was well filled, and consequently there were hundreds who spread the shocking tidings th-cughout the city. Houses were all deserted, women as well as men flocked | in the streets, but there was little heard ex- cept the tramp of feet in the crowded thor- oughfares. The feeling was too deep for noisy expression. But I need not dwell up- on a scene which has been frequently de- scribed by other friends. The next day— THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. the Emancipation day—the colored people met each other with a clasp of the hand, and handkerchiefs at the eyes and tears Tolling down the chee! Our colored house- maid wept so she said she could not see to do her work. Their best friend was gone. “There had been such rejoicing at the close of the war in every part of the city, speeches being made in the streets and pub- lic buildings, that many feared thére would be some rebel demonstration, even while Mr. Lincoln was at the theater. In many parts of Washington there was the noise cf patriotic music and shouts for the Union.” Senator Manderscn was the last speaker of the evening. He commended the efforts of the association for the preservation of the a where Lincoln had closed his eyes rever.
