National Associated Pross. 10N, September G.—At y 6:30 o'clock this forenoon the president started from the Baltimore & Potomae depot on his trin to Long Branch. He was wide aw and sensible and appeared fully cognizant of what yas going on, and had borne the transter from the white house re- markably well —better, indeed, than anyone anti¢ipated — and according to the unanimous verdict of those with him he had improved in_every way from the time he was carried from the sick room. His pulse even decreased from 100 to 95 during the journey. It was a wierd funeral-like trip 1IN THE GRA Y LIGHT of early morning, through quiet streots, with the sun just breaking the darkness, i'he people partook of the quictnes and though the sidewalks from the white house to the depot were lined with people and crowds assembled at either end of the route, not a sound, hardly a whisper, was =allowed to < the stillness as the convey: bearing the wounded president moved slowly along. The scenes about both the depot and white house during the night we i At thelattes for the first time since the shooting, the entranc tes to the grounds were closed even to correspondents. At 10 o'clock scores of newspaper men and citizens hung about the gates fearful that the president would be removed secretly. BEFORE MIDNIGHT the personal baggage of those to ac- ooluguuy the Pmsidont' was taken to the depot. Tho railroad men labored through the mght by the light of lan- terns completing the ecxtension of track around into Pennsylvania avenue. A crowd of citizens watched the operation until it was completed. At an early hour people began to pour into the streets and at daylight a detail of police took their places in the avenuve, a detachment of 20 took up their stands at the White House gates and a number with members of the de- tective force took up their station about the waiting train AT THE LOW At each intersecting strect along the route one mounted officerand tso stationed in route was policed, foot officers way. Lhe en'i ABOUT THE TRAIN extra precautions to keep back the crowd had been taken by stretching ropes along the side walks, fencing in a large space 8o the train was kept free of all but officials and reporters. The people, filled with the spirit of the hour, were kept quiet and refrained from any demonstration. At 5:20 the train was backed on the extension track around on to the avenue. It consisted of engine 568, a baggage car and the special palace cars numbers 268, 83 and 120. A pilot en- gine, number b, took up a place about one hundred feet in ad- vance. Each engine was manned with an engineer and two firemen and the conductors and brakemen. MRS, GARFIELD, As soon as the train came to a standstill, a few minutes before 6 o'clock, a carriage came rapidly down the strect and was driven up to the side of the train, and Mrs, Garfield alighted and entered the car espe- cially prepared for her oceupancy. Drs. Agnew, Woodward and Barnes passed bowiug through the concourse of the people and entered car 33, the one reserved for the president, Murs, Garfield was accompaniad by her daughter, Miss Mollie, Mrs., and Miss Rockwell, and Mrs. Dr. Susan Edson, Mrs. Garfield passed into the car and took her place at the window from which she could look down the avenue, A TOUCHING SIGHT. A few seconds later all eyes were turned from her pale face to an indis- tinct object looming upin the half mile distance. It was the conveyance in which the president was being con- veyed to the train It moved at a very slow pace, and was fully ten min- utes in traversing the distance be- tween the treasury building at the head of the avenue and Sixth street where the train was stationed. Ten polico marched on each side of the wagon, and as it moved along the citizens on each sidewalk quietly and reverently removed their hats and fell into linesomodistance behind after the wagon passed. The horses which drew the on were selected for their stea- diness, and were driven by one of the most trusted drivers in the Express company's employ THE PRESIDENT'S APPEARANCE, As the wagon neared the train the first conspicuous person seen was Dr. Bliss who was hanging on to the outer side of the wagon mopping his face with his hunnlkvruth Then as the vehicle came closer uther figures were ‘White || the | ognized. Sergeant Densmere and Steward Crump sat on the front seat with the driver and through the open sides of the storm curtains which were raised ware seen (i Swaim Col. Rockwell, Col. Corbin and Doc- tors Reyburn and Boynton, the lat ter seated at the president’s head. But the figure most carnestly rogard- ed was that of the president himself, although it was not until the ambu lance came very near that he could be distinguished. ~ At the first glimpse several women in the large concourse moaned in sympathy, but the noi was promptly checked. The form o the president lay on the bed on which ho has passed so many weary hours, nd was cov- ered to the chin, raving i exposed. About the top of his was a white bandage and a roll cotton batting was placel under right jaw, whero the paro‘id swell « had disfigured him. In the dim ay light his face looked ghostly. 'he skin was of a livid color, the cheeks were hollow and the nose was wched. He was lying on his back and his eyes were open and looking out straight ahead. Only when they moved from side to side was there evidence that it was other than a corpse that was lying there, so still and apparently lifeless. Yet it could be seen that he was wide awake and keenly conscious of what was going on, seemingly in full possession of his senses, As was afterwards learned he lad passed a quict though somewhat rest- less night 100king forward hopefully, however, to his removal in the morn- ing. > o’clock he was awake was given some nourishment, consist- ing of beef extract, prepared by Ius wife, and brought to him by her, and an enema of the usual ingredients. Tt was ten minutes to six when the yehicle left the white house gate and ten minutes after that hour when it arrived at the train. Here the wagon was drawn up along side, and the horses taken from it, after which a detail of artillery of Gen. Ay mand from the arsenal se wheels and the tongue and backed it gently against the open doors of the A little delay occurred here, it r quiring threc attempts before the wagon was squarely backed up so as rmit of the easy passage of the r through the car door. While ttempts were beipg made all eyes were on the president and those with him in the wagon. The latter all looked pale and anxious especially Dr. Boynton who sat at the president’s head with a fan inhis hand. The presi- dent himself did not move but rolled bis eyes from side to side. He seemed impatient over the unlucky contretempts. Soon, however, the wagon was in position, and then the cot was lifted to be carried in, Here anotherunfortunate ace jient oceurred. The cot, by some means, was jolted roughly against the jamb ot the doer, shaking the president severely and ng his cyes to fairly bump in his A moment after the cot was inside and the president was _quietly lifted on the mattress and laid on the bed arranged in thecar. % Hardly had he been laid down when Mrs. Garfield, who had watched the ambulance from its appearance, was at his side and gently fanning him. Dr. Boynton immediately took a chair at the foot of the bed. Dr s8 felt of the pulse and found it had decreased five beats from the time of leaving the sick room. He communicated this fact to those in the car, and in a moment the news had found its way to the outs nd was quickly passed around among the people, At 6:20 Dr. , standing in the door of the president’s car, waved a signal to the enginecr to start and the train pulled slowly to the end of the newly laid track. There it stopped a few minutes to await the incoming train from New York, but at 6:40 orders were again given to go ahead, and the train slow- ly glided out on the main track and in a few moments was out of sight. Before leaving, Col. Corbin in- formed the reporter of the National Associated Press that the president had improved from the moment he il’nned the portal of the white house. r. Bliss corrob rated this und added that the president scemed in a good condition to bear the trip. This was the last official bulletin from the pres- Bli ident's attendants before he left Washington.

National Associated Pross, Jeisky Crry, September .- The movement of the train from Washing ton to Seagirt, 217} miles, was over the roads controlled by the Per vania Central and the Balimore & Potomace, the Philadelphia, Wilming- ton & Baltimore, Ireehold & Juwmes- burg, ete., and in the working of the train, which was controlled almost en- tirely from New York and by New Yorkers, the management is entitled to much eredit. General Train Master Charles Watts had been sent from this city to Wash- 1 to take personal charge of th train over the entire route, and J. M. Whelpley, the conductor, Jus. Kelly, baggage waster, and George Dean, braken o all picked men from ) the New York division and used to special train work. The same was true of Engineer Wm. Page and two firemen P, W, Loowmis and E. Grinnell, who ran en- gine 658, the first of the “‘big wheel- ers,” all the way from Sixth strect and Pennsylvaniaavenve to Brooklyn cottage at Biberon, in remarkable time and without an accident or The trip will never be made all probability, and will become his- torical, Superintendent McCrea, under whose geueral management the who! trip was made, stood over the w here to-day aud superintended w railroad men regard as ap_esception- ally good piece of railronding. The greatest speed was made on the New York division track, over: the nearly 50 miles, from Philadelphia to Mon- mouth Junction, in 76 minutes, in- cluding 11 minutes of stop and one taking of water between the tracks. All the train arrangemouts hi made under Mr. McCrea's supe and when at 12:47 the train passed off his line to the New Jecsey Central tracks he said, “If they had known bow quickly and, well . Ji ,; 'uuid have been n\u\'u-{lhcy would have taken him from Washington before.” The track was kept absolutely free and clear of all obstruction. LoNG Brascu, N.

The distance from Wash ington, 228 wilea, was made in 380 minute v osmall fraction less than forty miles per hour or about up to the time promised. No west bound traing passed 1t in wotion, The dog- tors said on their ival that the president instead of being injured by the trip, was really in better condition than when he started, crowds, and the {Jl'ufliddllt'l car was also pushed around to the balcony of the cottage where an awning was spread to protect the bed from the sun and from the yiew of the crowds. A small squad of soldiers easily kept back the multitude. The president was moved into the cottage without annoyance, and his bed was adjusted in the upper south end chamber. Dr. Bliss said that the pulse, when last taken, had been down to 102 During the trip he said the president had had no vomiting on the road, and had passed a better day thus far than yesterday, Col, Corbin stated that after their arrival the president was thought to be better this afternoon than yester- day, notwithstanding the journey. He said that the president had stood the journey first rate, and was in good humor all the way, and at one place, when a proposition was made to give him a sponge bath, he said: “‘Go ahead; progress is of more use than a bath,” Col. Corbin said that the usual routine of the day had not varied on the train. The president took his nourishment as usual and had no an- noyance in_any way. Mrs. Garfield and Miss Nollio stood the journey well also, The former had a pleasant smile on her face as she greeted Mrs MacVeagh, All along the road, not only at tho villages but at the coun- try crossings were crowds of people waiting for the train as it passed. All noise was avoided and not a sound was made, This has been the most beautiful day in the history of the president’s caso and it has turned out to be en- tirely satisfactcry. The removal of the president from the White House to Loug Branch has been looked on as a very great undertaking, and while it was acknowledged 0 be a necessi ty, it was undertaken, of course, with more or less fear of consequen: cos, “But,” says ono who accompanied him on the trip, ‘‘as soon as the president was safely in the wagon that was to take him to the depot his fuce assumed an exprossion of sincere sutisfaction. As he was driven down Pennsylvania avenue he turned his head on either side, and seemed to enjoy looking at things that had be- come strangeto him during his long confinement.

DBulletins of the National As- siated Press are posted at the west end of the hotel, Since there were no representatiye of the press on board, the publi indebted to the members of the party, particulaly Secrotary Brown, for the following details of the trip:*The train all the way through, was in charge of Mr. T. N. Ely, superintendent of the motive pawar of the Pennsylyvania Cen- tral railroad, assisted by Mr. Charles Watts and others. There were new crews for each division of the road, The train ran slowly whon it first started out, making about thirty mlés an hour. The motion of the train had little pr no effect on the presi- dent, and it was found unnecessary to disturb him until Palapsco was reach- ed. Here a stop was mado at 7:20 a. m. for water, and the opportunity was taken by the surgeons to examine the parotid gland. At that time the pulse was 102, temperature and respi- ration about normal. The train pass- ed through Baltimore without stop e, Tho second stop was made at ay View, north of Baltimore, Hero the usual ‘morning dressing of the wound was made, and it was found to have suffered no derangement from and ~to be doing well. After leaving By View the train was push- ed at & rate of fifty miles an hour, the track being very straight and in good condition. The high rate of speeddid notcause more vibration tothe car and bed than the slow rate. All along the road the president’s pulse was of a good char- acter, At 9:30 the president swal- lowed three ounces of beef extract. At 10:10 a brief stop was mado at Semokin for coal. This was the only time coal was taken on the trip. The same locomotive drew the train clear through from Washington to Elberon. At 10:30 a stop of thirty minutes was mado at Grey Ferry for water, and anothey stop for the same purpose at 11:25, "at Tullytown. After leaving Trenton the train was pushed more rapidly than at any other time. One mile was made in fifty-five seconds, and an_extraordinary speed was kopt up all the way to Monmouth Junction, whero the road was good. It was found that the faster the tr ran the less were the oscillations the bed and the president secmed al- 80 to liko it. He talked very little on the way, Tho train was run in six hours and forty minutes. All of the physicians gave the peo- ple who crowded around the car as- surances that the president had stood the journey well and that his stomach was in excollent shape, The car in which he lay was pushed around to the awning and he was carricd to a large ¢ the cottage, the bed being placed so that he can see the ocean. The physician’ will sleep in & cot- o near the president’s, and Secre- tary Brown's office will be situated across the avenue opposite the hotel, Ofticial bulleting will be issued at the usual hours. Thero were probably 15,000 people in waiting when the train came in, and when the president was borne from his the vast concourse was visibly affected, men, women and chil- dren alike weepin OFFICIAL BUL Lose Brasci, Septembor 6.— Since the last bulletin was issued the president has been removed from Washington to Long Branch.
