Hopt. 18.~Tenderly and gevercitls thewe who had known Willinm McKinley beet today received his martyred; body into their arms. They had forgotten the \llustrious career of the statesman in the loss of a great personal friend who had grown dearer to them with the passing of the years. They hardly noticed the prei- dent of the Uulted States or his cabinet, or the wenerals and admirals, In thelr resplerdent uniforms. The fag-draped casket which cobtained the body of thelr triend and fellow townsman held all thefr thoughts. e had left them two weeks ago this very day In the full tide of the strength of a glorlous manhood. and they had brought him back deud. Anguish was in the) heart of every man, woman and child, The entire population of the little city snd thousands trom all over Ohio, the full strength of the National Guard of the state =eight regiments, three batterles of artll- lery, one battalion of engineers, 5,000 men In all—~the governor, lleutenant governor Bnd a justice of (he supreme court, repre- senting the three branches of the state gov- ernment, were at the station to recelve the body. Whote T n Black. The whole town was in deep black. The only houss in all this sorrow-stricken city, without a touch of mourning drapery was the old famillar McKinley cottage on North| Market street, (o which so many distin- guished men of the country have made pil- grimages in the times that are gone. The blinda were. down, but there was no out-| ward token of the blow that had robbed It of its most preclous possession. The flow- ers bloomed on the lawn as they did twol weeks ago. Thero was not even a bow of] crepe on the door when the stricken widow| was carricd by Abner McKinley and D, Rixey Into the darkened home. Only the hitching post at the curb in fromt of the| residence had been swatched in ‘black by| the citizens In order that it might confor: to the general ‘me of mourning decora-| tlons that had been adopted. Bad as ‘was the procession which bore| the body to the court house where it lay in| state this afterncon, it could not compare| with the infinite sadness of that endless double line of broken-hearted people who) streamed steadily through the dimly lighted) corridors from the time the cofin wa opered until it was taken home to the| sorrowlng widow at nightfall. They stepepd softly lest their footfalls wake their friend from his last long sleep. Tears came unbidden to wet the bier, Change Shocks Old Friends, Perhaps It was the great change that bad come upon the countenance which moved them more than the sight of the familiar| foatures. The signs of discoloration which| appearcd upon the brow and cheeks yester- day at the state ceremonlal in the rotunda) of the capitol at Washington had deep- ened. The lips had become livid. All but two of the lights of the chandeller abovel the head were extinguished in order that the change might apear less noticeabls, but everyone who viewed the body today| remarked the darkened features and the tly lips. ‘When the body was taken away thousands| were still In llne and the committee in| charge of the arangements was appealed to to allow a further opoprtunity tomorrow| before the body is taken to the church. But this had to be denied to them and the| casket may never be opened again. ‘The funovral services will take place to-| morrow at 1:30 p. m., at the First Meth-| odist Epishcopal church of which the dead) president was a communicant and @) trustee. They will be brief, by the ex- pressed wish of the family. Today's Servie Rev. 0. B. Milligan, pastor of the First| esbyterian church, in which President and| rs.

How It Happened, real) The accident occurred aboui 1,000 feet above the Avon station between two) stretches of thickets and by the side of & steep embankment., The express was onef minute behind time at Avon at 1:87. A freight train of thirty cars, laden with granite, conl and gravel, had just been) made up on a siding and was proceeding] south in the same direction as the express Engineer Sheldon of the freight had four] minutes further down. One of his train's crew hadl set the owltch of a “cross-over” In such a ‘manner that when the freight engine struck it it was turned onto the main track. Engi- neer Sheldon did not potice this switeh soon| onough to stop bis train and before he real- ized 1t thie cxpress cashed past on the other| track. The engine of the express and thel baggage car succeeded in getting by before] the freight engine reached the train, but the recond car of the train, the smoker,| was struck squarely In the middle and | turned over, being thrown down the steep) embankment, landing on its side in some| soft mud.

Many were forced through the win-| dows by the sudden shock. The cylinder on| the right side of the freight engine was| torn off and escaping steam added to thel horror. The nolse caused by the accident lattracted a crowd immediately and It was only a short time before hundreds were as- sisting In the work of rescue. All those) killed outright seemed to be in the thirdl car, while most of the injured were in thel car which was struck by the engine.
