THE "WILMINGTON MESSENGER, (FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20; 1901 i V THE REMAINS AT CANTON THE DEAD PRESIDENT LYING IN STATE AT HIS OLD HOME HIS FACE VIEWED FOR LAST TIME An Immense Crowd Awaits the Ar rival of the Train -The Procession to the Court Ilonse Thousands of People Take Tnelr Last Look at Their Old Friend and Fellow Towns man Body Removed to McKInley Residence-Burial This Afternoon Canton. O., September IS. Tenderly and reverently those who had known "William McKinley best, today received his martyred body into their arms. They had forgotten the illustrious career of the statesman In the loss of a great per sonal friend who had groffa dearer to them with the passing of the years. They hardly noticed th president of the United States or the generals or admi rals in their resplend3iit uniforms The beautiful flag-draped casket which con tained the body of their friend and fel low townsman held all their thoughts. He had left them two weeks ago this very day in the full tide of the strength of a glorious manhood and they had brought him back dead. Anguish was In the heart of every nan. woman and child- The entire population of the little city and thousands from ad over Ohio, th? full strength of the national guard of the state, eight regiments, three bat teries of artillejry. one battalion of en-; gineers, 5,000 men in all. the governor, lieutenant governor and a justice of the supreme court, representing the three branches of the state government, were at the station totre'celvelhe remains. The whole town was m deeD black, the only house in all this sorrow-stricken city, strange as it may seem, without a touch of mourning drapery was the olzi familiar McKInley cottage on north Market street to which so many dis distinguished men in the country have made pilgrimages in the days that have gone,' The blinds were drawn, but there was no outward token of the blow that had robbed it of its most precious pos session. There was not even a bowji crepe upon the door when the stricken widow was carried by Abner McTnley and Dr. Rixey througn it into t e dark ened home from which tbo light, for her, had flown forever. Ohly the hitch ing post at the curb in xront cf the res idence had been Swathed in black by the citizens in order that it might con form to the general scheme of mourning decoration tj.at had been adopted. Sad as y:as the procession which bore the bodT,' to the court house where it lay in fftate this afternoon, it could not comp'i're with the infinite sadness of that, endless double line of broken heart edpeople who streamed steadily through Urie dimly lighted corridors of the build ing from the time the coffin was opened ' until it was taken home to the sorrow ing widow at nightfall. Perhaps it was the great change that had come Upon the countenance which moved them more than the sight of the familiar features. The signs of discoloratio-i which appeared upon the brow and cheeks yesterday at the state ceremo nial In the rotunda cf the cupitol at Washington had deepened. The lips had become livid. All but two of the lights of the chan delier above the head were extinguish ed in order that the change might ap pear less noticeable, but every one who viewed the remains today remarked the darkened features and the ghastly lips. TVhon trip. lmdv was taken away thou sands were still In line and the commit- ! tee, in charge of the arrangements was appealed to to allow a further o-por-tunitv to review the regains toronow morning before they were taken to the church; but this had to be reluctantly denied to them and the casl.ot may never be opeed again. The funeral services will take :Uci to-! morrow at 1:30 o'clock p. m.. at the First M. E- church of which the martyred president was a communicant, ana trus tee. They will be brief, by the express ed wish of the family. President Rooseveil hts naval at tache. Captain Cowles: secretary Root and Assistant Secretaiy Hill are at the spacious residence of Mrs. George D. Harter on Market street. A company of the Ohio militia guards the house. During the afternoon the president walked over to the McKInley residence to inquire after Mrs. McKinley. He was informed that she had stood tn trip from Washington bravely, but in the opinion of the physician it would not be advisable for her to attempt to attend the services at the church tp morrow. She will, ihet or Jf;maiT1 auietly at her home with Dr. Kixev . The cabinet officers and the generals and admirals composing the guard oi honor are at pivate residences. President Roosevelt and he official party will start back on the return T av trt wash ineton at o clock to- Sorrow night. Secretary Cortelyou will return to Washington with the president tomorrow nisht to gather up STlate president's effects and will; later return to Canton to aid M.s. Mc-. Ktaley to straighten out her private f-fairs- TLRlVA"t 0F;FUERAL TRAIN. r SAntPmber IS. The sight , waTpro i-r i-ntn. the little station rirtmT at exactly noon today. All V at Canton at eiatuj . about the station anu u-- -the surrounding streets were the friends and neighbors of the martyred presi dent while drawn up tack of. the s ta tion were long lines of mil tiamen at present arms, immediately in the rear of the statisnat the mouth of Tenth ;Stre& was Troop A, of Cleveland, counted on their black chargers, keep in the entrance of the line of march clfar. All about were the black sym bols of mourning. The-approach of the train was un- heralded. No wmsue was uiy", " K&11 nros TT1TH?. Tti ahsOlUte sueuce u rolled into the station. J sight of the train, the people who Jiad ben waiting there -for hours wero greatly affected. Women sobbed ana men wept. A , . , For a full minute after the train had stopped no one appeared. Judge Day and his committee moved slowly down the platform in front of the line of sol diers to the catafalque car, and waited. Suddenly Abner McKInley, in deep black, his face tense and drawn ap peared In the. vestibule of the car next that conveying the remains and a mo ment latpr Dr. Rixey appeared, half carrying a frail and broken form.--It. was Mrs. McKinley, arrayed In the. deepest mourning. Beneath the heavy black veil she held her handkerchief to her eyes and her slight figure shook convulsively. Gently she was lifted from the car and, supported by Dr. Rixey and Abner McKinley, was prac tically carried to a carriage in waiting at the eai end of the station. The door of the carriage was closed and Mrs. McKInley was driven hurriedly to her forlorn home on north Market street, which she had left only two weeks ago, with her distinguished hus band In the full .vigor of manhood. Colonel Bingham, the president's aide, then gave directions for the re moval of the casket from the car. The coffin was too large to be taken through the door and a broad window at the side was uncrewed and removed. While this was going on the floral pieces in side were carefully lifted out and plac ed upon the ground at the side of the track. 1 When all was ready the soldiers and sailors who had accompanied the re mains all the way from Buffalo emerg ed from the car and took up their place3. The soldiers trailed their arms at their sides and the sailors held their drawn cutlasses at their sides. Only the body bearers were bareheaded and unarmed. Meantime President Roosevelt, with his brother-in-law, Captain Cowles, of the navy, in full uniform, at his side, had descended from the car ahead of that occupied by Mrs- McKinley. The president was met by, Judge Grant of the reception committee and the official party then moved to the west of the station, where they formed in line with the president at the head. All were uncovered. The casket was then lifted through the window and taken upon the braw ney shoulders of the body bearers. Only the flag was there now. At sight of it, tears came unbidden and flowed freely. The sad procession was then formed. It was headed by Colonel Bingham, in full uniform, a bow of crepe at the hilt of his sheathed sword. Following, and Immediately preced ing the casket, was the local committee headed by Judge Day. Then came the soldiers and sailors. Slowly they mov ed down the paltform to the turn at the western end of the station where the president and cabinet stood. As they reached the head of this line a clear drawn bugle call sounded a silvery re quiem. Before the president and cabinet and the Ohio officials the coffin was thtn borne to the hearse. When it ha' leen placed inside, the president ani'the of ficial party entered carriages. i Meantime Admiral Deprey, Lieuten ant General Miles ar.V the other high officers of the army and navy who compose the guaM of honor had moved around theast side of the station. They al'oo entered carriages and took their race in the large procession that waj now forming. All were attired in tie full uniform of their ranks. They were fairly ablaze with gold lace. The shrillness of the bugles had given the first sign to the waiting multitude outside the station that the casket was approaching. Instantly the long lines of soldiers became rigid, standing at present arms. The black horses of the Cleveland troop, immediately facing the station, stood motionless, their riders with sabers lowered. Slowly through the entrance came the stalwart soldiers and sailors with sol emn tread bearing aloft the flag cover ed coffin of the man they loved so well. As it came into view a great sigh went up from the dense throng. After the first glance many of the men and wo men turned away to hide their emo tions, which they could not restrain. Wrhen the catet had been consigned to the hearse, three mounted trumpet ers gave signals for the melancholy process to move. A moment later the sound of "Nearer My God, to Thee" came through the air, as the Grand Army veterans with their band swung into line and took up the march toward the court house. A majestically solemn spectacle was presented as the procession neared the public square in the center of the city After the grand army men came the Cleveland troops, in their brilliant uni forms of Austrian Hussars, with tall bear skin shakos topped by pompoms of white. At the hilt of every sword streamed a long band of crepe and the tiny silk guidon flag was topped with a long black streamer. Immediately following the mounted troops came the hearse bearing its flag covered burden. The sight set a hush along the dense long lines of humanity stretching for a mile away to the court house. As the casket passed every head was boyed and every face evidenced the great personal grief which had come upon the community. Immediately following the hearse came the carriage of President Roosevelt, who rode with his brother-in-law, Captain Cowles1 of the navy, and Secretary Gage. The carriages of the other members of the cabinet and those who had been near to the late president in public life were lined out for half a mile. Back of them marched the national guard of Ohio, regiment after regiment, in platoon front forma tion and filling the broad thoroughfare from side to side. As the head of the procession reach ed the great square of the city, the mil itary ranks swung about, forming solid fronts facing the approaching hearse. As it was driven to the curb, the bear ers stepped from their places along side, and again took up their burden. Before the eyes of the vast concourse filling the square, the casket was ten derly raised and borne up the wide stone steps leading to the entrance of the court house. The strains of "Near er. My God, to Thee" were still sound- ing as the flagdraped coffin disappear- ed within the building. Moving slowly I to its support- The bearers swung slowly around so that the head lay to the east. The silk banner that was flung over the casket was drawn back, : the wreaths which rested upon its head I were removed and the coffin lid taken ! off. ' Word was quickly passed to President i Rdosevelt and, followed by the members .KAaM,0t v. ctonn -fsviv into of jhAV&hinot Via stormed hrisklv into the hail. He-glanced down as he reach ed the casket, halted for the space of a breath andvent On. The members of rthe cabinet followed him one by one. The members of President McKinley old commandery of Knights Templar. Canton commandery No. 38, had asked the previlege of posting a sentry over the casket while it lay in state, and throughout the afternoon the guard was relieved every thirty minutes. Four detachments of militia were marched into the hall and drawn up in a line reaching from the entrance on the south to the bier. Another line stretched from the bier to the place where the hall diverged and down each side hall were other lines. Strict or ders were given to see that there was no delay in the crowd as it passed out of the building. ? When everything was ready for the ' public to enter, Joseph Saxton, uncle , of Mrs. McKinley, an aged man bowed I deeply with the weight of years, enter- i ed from the east hall and passed up to the casket. He stood for fully two, minutes gazing into the face of his dis tinguished -kinsman. He then passed .slowly down the hall, his head bowedY his lips twitching convulsively. - .Chs2dren ranT coantsi attention from th raothrr.

A few final details were arranged and then the door was opened to the public. Two little girls were the first .to ap proach the casket. Directly behind them was a tall, powerful man with a red moustache. A3 he gazed into the casket he caught his breath in a quick, sharp sob that was audible in every part of the hallway. He then gave way entirely and, weeping bitterly, passed out. Many of the people as they looked upon the face of their dead friend whom they had seen but two weeks ago in full health, caught their breath at the change that was there. The president's face was much thinner than they had expected it would be. and thei sight that met their eyes shocked them greatly. The crowd was admitted four abreast, passing to the right and left of the casket by twos. No delay was permitted and fully 150 a minutes pass ed the bier. All through the afternoon the crowd passed the catalfalque approximately at the rate of 100 every minute, making in the five hours In which the bodly lay in state, a total of 30,000 people, prac tically a number equal to the popula tion of Canton. When the doors " were closed at 6 o'clock, the line, four abreast, stretched fully one mile from the court house and people were still coming from the side streets to take their places in line.' At 6 o'clock prep arations beganfor removing the body to the McKiifley residence on Ncicii Market street, several squares from the court 'house. Canton commandery of tWL Grand Army of the Republic acted as escort and there was no following. Arriving at the house, the escort form ed in line presenting arms, while the coffin' borne by the body bearers was taken into the house. It was placed in the front parlor where it will remain until it is removed to the church tomor row afternoon. Guards were posted around the house ionight and a num ber of sentries weVplaced in the front yard. Cotton Fntures. New York, September 18. The mar ket for cotton futures opened steady, with prices 4 points lower to 2 points higher. The decline was in near months only and was in response to disappointing Liverpool cables. The late months stiffened upon very bad crop and weather news. Following the call the entire list advanced quite sharply to 5 points above last night's close, on a scare of shorts and very active, new buying. Liverpool made a quick turn and advanced in keeping with the improvement here, at the same time sending liberal buying orders for January cotton. The private wires from Georgia, Ala bama and Mississippi declared that the rains of yesterday had done great dam age to open cotton. More rain was forecasted for today and tonight over this same district. Texas reports un dicated a shorter crop than heretofore figured on. Before 11 o'clock liquidation of a pre holiday order weakened the market rapidly, demand for investment ac count being light, while shorts were quick to take advantage of the pressure thus brought to bear. By midday Jan uary had broken to 7.70 as against 7.S4 in the first hour. Heavy western sell ing of cotton bought on the rise of yes terday was the chief feature in the selling, though Xew Orleans sent large selling orders here. In the last halt hour the market advanced 6 points on active covering and on reports that spinners had purchased 2,000 bles in the open spot market. The market was finally steady, with prices net 3 to i points lower. The Dry Goods Market New York, September 18. The dry goods trade today has been inactive throughout. Buyers, who are pur chasing small quantities of general merchandise for quick shipment only, pay no attention to forward require., ments. Prices of cotton goods are all unchanged. Men's wear woolens and worsteds, and woolen and worsted dress goods are dull and unchanged. The market will be close tomorrow. For Soxexna.
