Sept. 16.—From the time that the signal gun at Fort Porter greeted the sunrise until the mortal remains of the nation's dead chief were tenderly transferred to the New York Central depot, a minute gun boomed its tribute of martial grief. The watch of uight at the side of the casket in the rotunda of the city hall was kept by a detachment of sailors from the battleship Indiana. The thoroughfares leading to the city liall were thronged with citizcus froift early morning. At 7.51, Major General Brooke gave the command to take up the casket, whereupon eight bluejackets and marines, four on each side, raised the Hag-shrouded coffin and placed it on their shoulders. The serried ranks of cannon-pledged flesh outside, at the command of "Attention! Present Arms!" moved as one man. Civilians uncovered their heads, while bands in dirge-breathing time,throbbed out the opening bars of "Nearer. My God. to Thee" as the casket was borne to the hearse. The roll of muffled drums and the distant boom of the minute guns were ominously • punctuated by the click of the hearse doors as they closed 011 the casket. The command to march was then given, and the sweetly mournful notes of the "Dead March in Saul" swelled out on the morning air. The men in the crowds took off their hats and many wept as the body began its eventful journey to the grave. The body was escorted to the station by a platoon of police, a detachment of regulars, blue jackets, marines, several G. A. it. posts, the Tampa Light artillery, and Florida State troops. Carriages brought up the rear, with Postmaster General Smith, Secretary Long, Secretary Wilson. Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox.
