Funeral Car—l he Cortege Nearing
Raleigh.
By Southern Associated Press
Mobile, Ala., May 29, 1 a. m iVAa
the Jeff Davis funeral train pulled
out of New Orleans last evening,
crowds appeared at every street cor
ner on both sides of the track, until
the corporate limits were passed.
As soon as the cortege reached the
open country and got under speed,
the military part of the escort laid
aside their arms and uniform ex
cept that the veterans kept on their
gray coats ready to take turns in
standing guard over the casket
At every station crowds assembled;
Miss Winnie Davis.
gray headed old soldiers and ladies
and children, with flowers being the
prominent features.
At Beauvoir, Mr. Davis’old home,
the track and station platform had
beed carpeted with the most beauti
ful and fragrant snow white rhodo
dendrons. The little children of
Beauvoir thus paid their tribute to
the momory of one whose declining
years had been passed at that place.
It had been expected that the escort
would have time to visit the Davis
residence, but the stay was too
short for this purpose Gen. and
Mrs. Joseph R. Davis boarded the
train and gazed upon the beautiful
decorations which surrounded the
catafalque. They were accompa
nied by their little girl. Several
large floral tributes ware at Beau
voir laid upon the bier. One was a
wreath of cypress, which Mrs. S. T.
Green, nee Morgan, of Mississippi
had brought all sch.-s from hor
Mrs- Jefferson Dav^
present home in Calusia, California
With the exception of one wreath of
white fimmortelles with “C. G. A.”
and Augusta, Ga. on it in red flow
ers, the memorial tribute of the
old Confederate soldiers of that
city, there were no floral tokens on
the casket outside of those of the
Louisana veterans and ladies of
New Orleans till Beauvoir was
reached. But if tha other points
contribute as well in that respect it
will take one car for tha flowers.
The rich uniform of the Governor
of Louisiana was heavily laced in
gold, every officer being in full
dress. The gray uniforms of the
men of the united Confederate vet
erans, badges and buttons of the
other veterans most of thsm worn
with rad and white ribbon and the
familiar gray slouch hat make the
cars present a striking appearance.
The grave and dignified appearance
of the veteran eseort is particu’arly
notable. The generals, colonels and
privates have the air of performing
the sacred duty and each bears
equally his turn in standing guard.
It was a rather curious thing to see
an ex-Confederate Major General
with paper and pencil telling off his
guard and a tall soldierly looking
gray mustached Colonel composedly
receiving notice to act as a private
soldier. At Scranton, Miss, Major
General Whiting and staff had
their car attached to the train, and
the special btaring Gov. Jones and
staff joined the Davis train. The
run over from New Orleans was a
quick but very dusty one but all
were pleased with the way the train
was handled by superintendent
Marshall, who was on board person
ally superintending its movement.
At Mobile the Semme’s camp of
Confederate Veterans was drawn up
two hundred strong on a platform
with a camp flag floating in the
breeze while the battery of the Al
abama State artillery fired a salute
of twenty guns. There was a great
crowd there to welcome the train,
and fully one thousand people took
what view they could of the casket.
No one was allowed to enter the
car as it was manifestly impossible

that all could be admitted. The
train pulled out for Montgomery at
1:20, a. m.
AT MONTGOMERY.
Montgomery, Ala, May 29.- -
Greenville, Ala, was the first sta
tion reached this morning after day
break and here despite the early
hour (6 am., quite a concourse as
sembled and gazed with the usual
intense interest everywhere mani
fested at the funeral car. By this
time the massive oak casket was al
most undiscernible under the masß
of flowers heaped upon it and sur
rounding it and of every variety of
design from the most elaborate and
costly to the simple bouquet. One
bunch of few wild flowers has a
card attached with the inscription
in a woman’s hand, “A faithful sub
ject of our Southern chieftain ”
At Montgomery carriages con
taining the officers of the Ladies
Memorial Association came first in
view, then Governor Jones, of Ala.,
accompanied by his staff, appeared.
Simultaneously two infantry col
umns marched down alongside the
train halted and presented arms
Two batteries opened fire. Rain
begun to fall, but Gov. Jones an
nounced that the procession would
move from the train to the Capitol,
at 8:30 a. m., and a few minutes be
fore that time the storm passed over
and the sun came out
Promptly at 8:30 the first minute
gun boomed out and the procession
started. Every window, balcony
and sidewalk along the route were
thronged. The Capitol was decora
ted outside with bayonet plants and
magnolias and inside with profu
sion of flowers. The minute guns
at the depot flred till the head of
the procession turned into Broad
Avenue leading to the Capitol and
then the battery in front of this
building opened and kept firing un
til the procession had reached the
front portico. The flags over the
Capitol and on the other public
buildings were at half mast Ap
proaches to the building were lined
with infantry who rigidly kept every
one outside the lines, unless speci
ally admitted by the offioer of the
guard. The procession approached
in the following order: Mounted
police; Governor of Alabama and
staff, and the advance guard of Vet
erans; Jhen followed the coffin on a
caisson with a lofty canopy of pur
ple over it. Six powerful black
horses in regular artillery harness
with brass mounted saddles drew
the caisson. The horses were cov
ered with drapings of purple
sweeping the ground and a canon
eer in uniform of blue and soarlet
facings and wearing an artillery
sabre was at the head of each
horse.
Each pair of horses had a driver
similiarly uniformed and armed.
By the caission walked the pall
bearers, twenty-five or thirty of the
most eminent citizens of Alabama,
from all parts of the State wearing
a purple satin rosette. By the side
of the coffin a strong body of Con
federate Veterans marched in fours;
then followed the Louisana Veter
ans, the special escort from New Or
leans to Richmond. Behind these
came a long lint of infantry, a body
of artillery men, a squadron of cav
alry and fifty cadets. Alabama
Veterans formed in two lines at the
Capitol entrance and three maimed
Confederate officers, two with bat
tle flags, one tha 64th Alabama the
other the 32nd Georgia, faced the
coffin as it was borne up the steps,
then they advanced and laid the
worn and tattered flags on the cas
ket The Louisana Veterans fol
lowed, then those from Alabama
and the other States. The band
played a funeral march, and the
veterans with measured swinging
tread keeping their ranks in fours,
and maintaining perfect step fol
lowed the body inside the hall from
the main entrance. No one was al
lowed inside but the line of infan
try, which stood at present arms,
except ladies and girls who formed
two dense ranks between which the
cortege entered. The Supreme
Court room where the coffia lay in
state was very tastefully decorated.
Over the right hand exit was
“Monterey” in golden letters on
purple ground, and “Buena Vista”
over the left hand door. Over the
judicial bench was a huge stars and
bars flag, an old garrison flag, a
portrait of Mr. Davis under the
flag, and over it in letters of ever
green “He suffered for us.”
There was a terrific rush

Atlanta, Ga.. May 29 —Governor
Jones and staff accompanied the

the train drew out the infantry Ba
luted and the cannon flred. The ar
tillery service throughout at Mont

The first was quaint enough. A col

Every head was uncovered and the
ladies pleaded so piteously for leave
to enter the funeral car that the
guards relented and allowed them
to pass through. A few miles
farther about one hundred men
were drawn up in line with shot
guns and rifles, and the moment
the funeral car passed them a rat
tling file fire cracked down the
line. It was a small station, evi
dently these men had rendevoused
there by agreement to give a
salute. At Opelika full fifteen
hundred people were at the station.
The ladies had quantities of floral
emblems, and the veterans were
drawn up in lin9 with heads
bared and colors saluting. The
people clustered in a dense mass

about the funeral oar. A heart of
roses and floral shields from the
ladies and from Confederate veter
ans of Lee county, Ala., were put
on board. At West Point the crowd
was denser, if possible, than at Ope
lika. The children had the day
here. Every boy and girl bad a
magnolia or oape jessamine, which
they passed up to the veterans. The
ladies handed up more elaborate
offerings. Those on the outer cir
cles of the crowd passed them over
to those in front. At LaGrange
cannon boomed as the train whissed
by. The looal cavalry mounted, and
with aabres at salute, were drawn up a
little distance from the side of the
track. The solid wall of ladies and
children lined the road for about
250 yards.
At Newnan the local infantry
fired volley after volley as the train

At West Point Governor Northen,

was kept up till reaching Atlanta,
