All of the members of the diplomatic bedy were apaprently in attendance, with the exception of Minister Weckerlin of the Netherlands, who is absent from Washing- ton. They all wore their court costumes. The members of the Supreme Court drifted in singly, and were seated on the left of the catafalque. Mr. Thurber, the Presi- dent's private secretary, gave the assist- ance of his arm to Justice Field, who walk- ed with a feeble step and leaning on his cane, Just in the rear of the diplomatic body, in the center of the chamber, were seated general officers of the army and navy, with their ladies, among them Adjt. Gen,’ Ruggles, Quartermaster General Batcheller, Paymaster General Stanton, Inspector General Breckinridge, Admiral Ramsay, Capt. Matthews, Col. Heywood and others. Bureau officers from the various departments filled in the center, among them being Controller Eckels, As- sistant Secretary Wike, Assistant Secre- tary McAdoo and Assistant Secretary Doe. A few Senators who were in Washington attended the ceremonies, and were given prominent places by Sergeant-at-Arms Bright and Secretary Cox. Senator Stew- art was in the very first row, Senator Gray sat just behind him and Senator Morgan occupied a place near the side aisle. The State Department sent an imposing delega- tion, consisting of all the employes, down to the humblest messenger, headed by As- sistant Secretaries Adee and Rockhill and ex-Assistant Secretary John Moore. Personal friends of the late Secretary completely filled that part of the rcom not occupied by officials. Arrival of the Funeral Party. A few moments before 10 o'clock the family of the deceased, excepting Mrs. Gresham, who remained at the hotel, were ushered into the green room, through whose open doorway they had a plain view of the catafalque. Almost immediately, at a sign from Col. Wilson, the crowd stand- ing in the central part divided, and the casket, borne by eight stalwart sergeants of the fourth artillery,under command ofCapt. Shas. D. Hall of the nineteenth infantry, was borne into the east room and placed upon its supports. The floral tributes were gathered by the ushers and heaped in pro- fusion upon the black surface of the cas- ket. Again the crowd divided and_ the President and his cabinet entered. Presi- dent Cleveland headed the party, with Mrs. Cleveland upon his arm. Then, in order, came Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle, Secre- tary and Mrs. Lamont, Attorney General and Mrs. Olney, Postmaster General and Mrs. Wilson, Secretary and Mrs. Morton, Secretaries Herbert and Smith and Acting Secretary Uhl. They took their places standing at the head of the casket, at the right of the south windows; Bishop Hurst stepped forward, a hush fell upon the com- pany and the clear voice of the clergyman rang out with the words “I am the resur- rection and the life. a The Simple Services. The service was remarkably simple and devoid of ostentation. It was the full burial service of the Methodist Episcopal Church, practically the same as that of the Church of England, though somewhat abbreviated. The bishop read selections from the different parts of the Scriptures, the thirty-ninth Psalm, the ninetieth Psalm and the fifteenth chapter of the first Cor- inthians. Then a quartet, consisting of Messrs. Mosher, Morsell,” Hoover and Kaiser, stationed at one side, sang sweetly Cardinal Newman's beautiful hymn, “Lead, Kindly Light.” Again the bishop’ read a few verses from the Scriptures and the funeral prayer. The services closed with the Lord’s prayer and a blessing. They lasted altogether but fifteen minutes. The bishop stepped to one side after inviting those who cared to do so to look upon the face of the eminent deceased. Of this in- vitation every one in the room took ad- vantage, and a long line of people silently formed and passed beside the casket, tak- ing one last long look at the familiar hand- some features of the late Secretary, as he law peacefully at rest in his narrow casket, with his left arm crossed ‘on his breast. Meanwhile, the President, the cabinet and the diplomatic corps had retired to make ready for their journey to Chicago with the remains. The floral offerings were gath- ered up and put away. When the crowd d withdrawn the casket remained open for an hour, while a few persons came to take a last look at the face of the dead. The great east room was then deserted, save by the presence of the army officers in charge of the arrange- ments and by a small group which sat silently and sadly immediately. alongside the casket. This latter group included Mr. Otto Gresham, Mr. Andrews, son-fh-law of the deceased, and Bishop Hurst. Just at 11 o'clock a bugle sounded from the cavalry without. It was the signal to move. The attendants of the casket stepped forward and prepared to seal it. Miss Kate Fi » who had remained in the room, stepped to the front, and was the last to look at the deceased. a Again Placed in the Henrse. Then the lid was screwed down and the squad of artillerymen marched in. They formed at either side of the casket, and at a word of command from Capt. Hall bore the casket slowly through the cor- ridors to the hearse in waiting. The crowd on the portico revently uncovered their heads as the dead passed by. The son and son-in-law followed, and after thein came the President and his cabinet with their wives.” A carriage with Mrs. Gresham and her daughter joined them at the Ex- ecutive Mansion and took up a position be- hind the hearse. The word of command to move was given to the long line of sol- diers, and the march to the depot began. From the White House. At 9 o’clock Gen. Thomas H. Ruger took Position at the west gate to the White House grounds, with the following staff as special aids: Gen. Thomas M. Vincent, Col. H. C. Corbin, Major W. P. Hail, Major J. C. Muhlenberg, Capt. Crosby Miller. Capt. Cc. W. Whipple, Capt. Rogers Birney, Capt. . J. Fiebeger and Lieut. J. ¥. Mason Blunt and Capt. Mills of the twelfth infantry, U. S. A., and Capt. Lyman of the second cay- alry as regular aids. The United States regulars ordered to participate in the funeral prcvession were formed in line along the north side of Pennsylvania avenue, facing the White House, and as far as possible under the merciful shade of the elms that bound Lafayette square. On the left was the foot artiliery, consisting of M, A, I and G batteries of the fourth United States artillery, in command of Cap- tains Fuger, Howe, Chase and Ennis; Col. Closson commanding the battalion. ‘With the foot aritliery came the regimental band. At the left center were the United States marine corps, with the Marine Band, Capt. Robirson commanding; at the center, C battery of the third light artillery, under Capt. Lancaster. On the right were troops A, G, E anc H of the sixth United States cavalry, ajor Lebo commanding. The troops all appeared in the regulation uni- form. The only mark of mourning-was the black crepe at the hilt of. the officers’ swords. At the head of the cavairy col- umn appeared the regimental band of the sixth, unde: the direction of Bandmaster Luchsinger. This was the first occasion for the band to appear mounted in a public parade, and their performance, both in point of marching and playing, was excel- lent. ‘The measured sound of muffled drums and the classic melcdy of the famous marches that were played were thoroughly im- pressive. The horses seemed to feel in touch with the music ard, with slight ex- ceptions, were orderly and obedient. As the long minutes slowly passed on, the heat of the sun, mounting higher and higher in the sky, grew intense, and the wait became some- thing of an ordeal. The black heimets of the infantrymen were littie calculated to reduce the discomfort, and the cavalry and artillery horses, under their heavy accou- terments, were dripping with sweat as they stood out the long two hours before the ass at Gen. Ruger’s side sounded “For- ward.” An Officer Prostrated. While Gen. Ruger and his staff sat on their horses in the hot sun at the west gate of the White House grounds, Capt. Whipple of the ordnance department, one of the staff of aids, suddenly, with a loud cry, threw up his hands and straightened out in a rigor, as if dying. For a moment there was great confusion. The officers of the staff had just been arranging the order of their positions, and Maj. Hall had said. to Capt. Whipple, ‘“‘Billy, you are next to me, old boy,” as Capt. Whipple was seized by the pain which overcame him. Ma). Hall and Capt. Birney dismounted, caught the officer as he was falling and bore him to the sidewalk and into the shade of the nearest elm. For fully ten minutes Capt. Whipple was unconscious, and for a time it was thought he was dead. His accouterments were re- moved, an ambulance was called and he was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he was soon pronounced out of danger and able to be taken to his home. The Procession Starts. A few minutes after 11 o'clock, as the funeral party emerged from the main door of the White House, the casket ca:ried by a detail of sergeants from the fourth ar- tillery, was borne out, the bugle sounded “Attention,” and the long line of in- fantrymen and troopers came to a perfect alignment and presented arms. The carriage containing Bishop Hurst. ceding the hearse, drove out the west gate, and, in charge of Capt. Lyman, proceeded westward to the left of tie line, followed by the carriage containing President and Mrs. Cleveland, that containing Mrs. Gres- ham and Mr. Otto Gresham, and others with the members of the cabinet, the jus- tices of the Supreme Court and various prominent officials. As the funeral party came forth the Ma- rine Band played “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” with fine effect. When the cortege had passed arond to the left of the column the bugle sounded “Forward,” and the long line of horses and men wheeled into pla- toons, and the march down the avenue to the Baltimore and Ohio station began. The Sixth Cavalry Band, at the head of the col- umn, played Beethoven's beautiful Funeral March, Chopin’s March and Stubbletield’s “Memories of the Past” with splendid ef- fect as the procession passed down the wide thoroughfare. At the station the col- umn halted in the same formation as at the White House. While the casket, wrapped in the flag, was carried into the station by the sturdy artillerymen, the Ma- rine Band played a dirge, specially written for the occasion by Prof. Fanciulli. The Start for Chicago. An immense throng had assembled at the depot when the head of the proces- sion reached that point, and it was aug- mented by those who had followed the parade from the vicinity of the Executive Mansion. To the solemn tones of a hymn played- by the Marine Band the casket was berne into the depot, preceded by Bishop Hurst’ and the funeral party. Just inside the gates there was waiting a handsome case with nickel and brass trimmings, ard into this the casket was placed and the lid fastened on, the party standing with un- covered heads. The remains of the dead Secretary were then placed aboard the special train and hidden from view with the numerous and beautiful floral tributes. The train immediately thereafter, at thir- teen minutes past 12 o'clock, pulled out of the depot. The train was drawn by Baltimore and Ohio engine No. 1411. Directly behind the engine was the combination Pullman sleep- er and baggage car Esperanza, usually made use of on the Atlantic Coast Line to Florida. In the forward part of this car the casket rested. In the rear of the Es- peranza were the Pullman compartment cars Colombia and Iolenthe, and behind the latter the Virginia, the private car of Vice President Lord of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The members of the Gresham family will occupy during the trip the last car of the train, the Pullman sleeper Haslemere. The train will go through with no other stops than those necessary for water, and is due in Chicago about 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. When the train started President Cleve- land and Secretary Lamont were in the Virginia, while the cabinet officers occupied the Iolanthe and Colombia. The train was in charge of Conductor T. O. Tailor and A. C. McElroy was aboard as representa- tive of the Pullman company. ———.—_ Division of a Draft. An amended petition was filed today by the complainants in the case of Belva A.

COLUMBIA ROAD MOST BACKWARD Mr. Dunlop Will Resist ‘Enforce- ment of the Order. WHEEL GUARDS LACKING As stated in The Star yesterday, the Com- missioners have issued an order requiring compliance, by June 1, with the order com- peliing every street railway car to be equipped with a fender. The president of* the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, Mr. George T. Dunlop, when asked this morning by a Star reporter how his company would be affected by the June Ist fender regulation of the Commissioners, said: “On June 1 all the cars operated by the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company will be equipped with the Blackistone fender. These fenders are now on the cars of the Georgetown and 14th street lines and by Friday evening similar fenders will be on the cars of the 7th street line. As we told the Commissioners in our interview with them on the Ist of February last, just after they issued the order, we would do, we have acted in this matter with reason- “ole diligence and 1 th.nk tiat the Com- missioners recognize that fact. We have no quarrel with the Commissioners. When their order was promulgated on the 3ist of last January we had a conference with them and told them exactly wat we pro- posed to do. “They approved the Blackistcne fender, and we told them that we would equip our cars with that device. We also pointed out at it would require time in crder to have fenders manufacturel, as they were made of cast steel. We asked at that time for an extension of time. The Ccmmission- ers did not grant this request, but advised us to go on and do the best that we could. Immediately after this interview we made a.contract with Mr. Biackistone, and, as our correspondence with him will show, since that time we have constantly urged on him the importance of doing the work as rapidly as possible, so that we could be furnished with the fenders within the shortest period. We believe that the con- tractor has done all in his power to corhply with our wishes, and that tne fenders have been furnished as rapidly as the conditions of the work permitted. “We have also made a contract with Mr. Blackistone to supply us with wheel guards, in accordance with a design approved by the Commissicners. These wheel guards have not yet been supplied, and therefore the cars are not equipped with the:1. It is the intention of the company to comply with this part of the regulasion of the Com- missioners as soon as it is practicable to do so. Work of this sort requires time, and, as our records will show, we have pro- ceeded with as much expedition in comply- ing with the Commissioners’ regulations as could reasonably be expected.” When asked what course he should pur- sue if the Commissioners, as indicated, en- forced the fine on June 1 for the non-com- Pliance with the regulations, Mr. Dunlop said that the company would not pay the fine. In response to an inquiry as to what his course would be in the contingency that the Commissioners attempted to collect the fine, he said that he supposed that the en- tire question would then come before the courts for decision. “You must understand,” said Mr. Dunlop, “that we are not antagonizing the Com- joners’in this matter, and we do not e that the Dfstrict authorities contemplate any unreasonable action. We recognize that the Commissioners have the authority to make all reasonable regul: tions, and the position of this company is that we have in this matter and in every particular done everything in reason to comply with the regulation.” Columbia Road. The president of the Columbia road, Mr. Baker, told a Star reporter this morning that none of their cars were equipped with fenderse “We have been experimenting with the Smith Eldridge fender,” he said, “and some time ago we heard of a fender that was in use in Boston. We wrote on about it and were informed that the pat- ent was owned by Tom L. Johnson of Ohio. Then we sent a letter to him and received word that he was away from home, but that he was expected back in a few day: Lay before yesterday we had a letter as! ing that a representative of the company come to New York to confer in regard to the matter. We informed the Commis sioners what we were doing and then they told us to go on and do the best we could. We are endeavoring to get a fender that will meet the approval of the Commis: ers, and, of course, they must see it optration and give their consent before our company can adopt it. That is the situation of the Columbia road.” “What will you do if the Commissioners impose the fine of $25 a day for non-com- pliance wiih these regulations?” “We can stop the cars,” was the reply, s they are not earning that much.” “Do you think that the Commissioners can enforce the orde “I don’t know as to that,” responded Mr. Baker. “That is a legal question which I don’t feel competent to pass upon. I sup- pose that the matter will be tested in the courts, but I don’t know, of course, what will be done.” « Mr. Baker added that the cars are equipped with whee! guards. He said that it would not be vossible to supply fenders for the cars on his road by June 1. . Eckington’s Position. Mr. Schoepf, the general manager of the Eckington railroad, said today that all the cars on that line were supplied with fenders and wheel guards, and that therefore the order of the Commissioners had been com- plied with by his read.

Mr. Howard Nyman of the Rock Creek and Chevy Chase Electric road told a Star reporter today that his company had not received any order from the District Com- missioners notifying it to equip all its cars with fenders by June 1. “We have been equipping our cars with fenders as rapidly as possible,” said Mr. Nyman, “and there are a sufficient number of ears now provided with fenders to run our regular schedule with. The demands of the public necessitate our placing extra cars in use quite frequently, and in such in- stances we are compelled to use cars not yet equipped with the femders. In a vi short time all will have this addition, how ever.” Tenleytown and Georgetown. ‘The Commissioners’ order to the Tenley- town and Georgetown Railroad Company to have their cars equipped with fenders by June 1 was received last night by Super- intendent H. T. Purdy. He at once tele- graphed the Blackistone Company, whose fender is one of those approved by the Commissiorers, to hurry up their omer, which had already been sent in. Superin- tendent Purdy will put eight in use. Brightwood Road. “The Brightwood company began inves- tigating the question of fenders for itself long before the District Commissioners took it up,” said Mr. C. P. Williams, the treasurer and general manager of that railroad, to a Star reporter today. “We cut two of our cars aimost to ces eXx- perimenting with different varieties,and at last we adopted a fender of our own. This would have been affixed to each of our cars long before April 1, but the tire which destroyed our power house also destroyed every implement and several fenders which had already been made. “Since then our equipment has been so small that we have been compelled to run all our cars night and day, keeping them on the tracks all the time and having little opportunity to lay them off for improve- ment. In spite of this eight of our twelve care are now equipped With fenders and blacksmiths are working upon the others that will be necessary, and will finish them as soon as possible.” ——_.__ Policy Sentence. William Woodson, charged with violating the policy law, was sentenced to sixty days in jail by Judge Miller today. —T Deranged Digestion is almost universally followed by decreased vitality. Cod-liver Oil is the natural remedy for decreased vitality, but to pre- scribe plain oil to one whose di- gestion is impaired is likely to aggravate the difficulty. But there is a way to take Cod-liver oil and aid digestion at the same time. This way is Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo- hosphites of Lime and Soda. Scott’s Emulsion not only pre- sents Cod-liver oil in a palatable and easy form, but the Hypo- phosphites are themselves an aid to digestion and a remedy for the nervousness of many weak, emaciated persons. _ Scott & Bowne, N.Y. All Druggists. 50c. and $1 —» ACCUMULATING SENTENCE. Frank Hall Made Things Lively in Court. There is an unwritten law that persons urder the influence of liquor must wait until they get sober before the courts will hear their cases. This law was violated in Judge Kimball’s court this morning, and the result was that Frank Hall, a young man, a victim of alcohol, got himself in serious trouble. Because of his intoxi- ceted condition he was almost unmanage- able so far as his tongue was concerned. * He used loud, profane and threatening language in the cell and this language was repeated in the presence of the court. Frank was down town last night and when he started home he was intoxicated and had a quart bottle of whisky in his pocket to use when he got over the ef- fects of his spree. But he fell off a street car, managing, however, to save his liquor. Policeman Peck was on hand at the time, and when Hall became loud and profane he placed him under arrest. Then Frank indulged in a cursing match, which he kept up until the station was reached. Threats were made and the pris- oner caused trouble until he was landed behind the bars. . This morning the young man was far from being sober when he reached the -ccurt, and the keeper of the cells advised him to keep quiet when he went into court, but feeling as he did the effects of his last night’s conduct he announced that he didn’t care a ‘““—- ——" what was done with him. “Send me down as long as you want,” said the prisoner, “and when I get out I'll blow Miss Burns’ —- — brains out.” Hall had an idea that a Miss Burns had caused his arrest, but sie really had noth- ing to do with the case. While the policeman was giving evidence the prisoner was‘ muttering threats and profanity and the court imposed a fine ef $25 or six months in the workhouse. He repeate:i his threat, and for this he was given three months in jail. —_—--— DECORATION DAY MAILS. Only One Delivery Will Be Made— Hours of Collection.
