THE FUNERAL TRAIN.

The funeral train consisted of nine cars, eight of them furnished in succession by the chief railways over which the remains were transported. The ninth car, containing the body, was the "President's car," built for the convenience of the President and other government officers in traveling over the United States Military Railroads. This contained a parlor, sitting room, and sleeping apartment. It had been richly draped in mourning within and without, the heavy black drapery being relieved with white and black rosettes, and silver fringes and tassels.

The windows were draped with black curtains, and the entire furniture shrouded in black. A plain stand covered with black cloth, was placed in the car, at one end, and on this the remains of the President rested. On a similar stand, at the other end of the car, was the coffin holding the remains of Willie Lincoln. The funeral car was in charge of Mr. John McNaughton, United States Military Railroad.

The other cars of the train were new and elegant, and tastefully draped in mourning. The locomotive was also heavily draped.

Brigadier-General McCallum had charge of the general arrangements for the running of the train.

A pilot engine, furnished by the several railway companies on the route, preceded the train over each line of the roads traversed.

OBSEQUIES AT BALTIMORE.

The funeral train ran from Washington to Baltimore without stopping, except at Annapolis Junction, where Gov. Bradford joined the mournful procession. Baltimore was reached at ten o'clock. A heavy rain fell, yet with

unanimity, in that city never equaled, the citizens testified their high regard for the honored dead in every expressive mode. Work was suspended; the hum of traffic was hushed; all turned aside from their usual avocations to unite in the observance of the day, and in paying reverence to the great departed. Before daylight had fairly broken through the mist, the streets were thronged with citizens, hastening to the different localities assigned for the assemblage of the different clubs and associations, to join the procession. In spite of the inclement weather, people of all ages and both sexes, white and black, gathered about the Camden station of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, where the funeral cortege arrived from Washington. By eight o'clock the crowd was so great that it was almost impossible to move on any of the footwalks surrounding the depot buildings.

The depot buildings, engines, &c., were tastefully draped. Every arrangement had been made in this department by the Master of Transportation, William Prescott Smith, Esq., to insure no delay or interruption in the proceedings. Lieut.-Gov. Cox, with a portion of the Governor's staff, General Berry and staff, Hon. William B. Hill, Secretary of the State, Hon. Robert Fowler, the State Treasurer, with other officials of the State government, Mayor Chapman, the City Council of Baltimore, with the heads of departments of the city government, General Wallace, Brigadier-General Tyler, Commodore Downin, and many other officers of the army and navy, were assembled to receive the remains and excort them to the Exchange building, where they were to ie in state.

When the car bearing the body reached the depot, in charge of General McCallum and John W. Garrett, the coffin was removed by a guard of sergeants of the Invalid corps, and, surrounded by uncovered heads and saddened

hearts, was escorted through the depot buildings by the State and city authorities to the hearse awaiting its reception on Camden street. The body of this hearse was almost entirely composed of plate glass, which enabled the vast crowd on the line of the procession to have a full view of the coffin. The supports of the top were draped with black cloth and white silk, and the top of the car itself was handsomely decorated with black plumes. It was drawn by four black horses. Owing to the presence of large detachments of the army in the Monumental City, the military escort was exceedingly imposing. The various commands were thoroughly equip ped. The entire column was under command of Brigadier General H. H. Lockwood, attended by his staff. It formed a line on Eutaw street, the right resting on Conway street, and moved in reverse order a few minutes after ten o'clock. The rear of the escort was brought up by a large number of officers of various departments, including medical and other branches, all mounted. Among these were Major-General Lew Wallace and staff, Surgeon Josiah Simpson, Medical Director, General E. B. Tyler, Brig.-General D. R. Kenly, and Colonel S. M. Bowman.

A few moments before one o'clock, the head of the procession arrived at the southern front of the Exchange. As the head of the military escort reached Calvert street the column was halted, and the hearse, with its guard of honor, passed between the lines, the troops presenting arms, and the bands of music wailing out the plaintive tune, "Peace, Troubled Soul." The general officers die mounted and formed, with their staffs, on either sid the approach from the gate to the main entrance of the Exchange. The remains were then removed from the funeral car and carried slowly and reverently into the building, and placed on a catafalque prepared for them. After they had been properly placed and the co eri

removed, the officers present passed slowly forward, on either side of the body. The civic part of the procession followed, and the general public was then admitted.

The catafalque was erected immediately beneath the dome. It consisted of a raised dais, eleven feet by four at the base, the sides sloping slightly to the height of about three feet. From the four corners rose graceful columns, supporting a cornice extending beyond the line of the base. The canopy rose to a point fourteen feet from the ground, and terminated in clusters of black plumes. The whole structure was richly draped. The floor and sides of the dais were covered with black cloth, and the canopy was formed of black crape, the rich folds drooping from the four corners and bordered with silver fringe. The cornice was adorned with silver stars, while the sides and ends were similarly ornamented. The interior of the canopy was of black cloth, gathered in fluted folds. In the central point was a large star of black velvet, studded with thirty-six stars-one for each State in the Union. The floor of the dais on which the body of the illustrious martyred patriot rested, was bordered with evergreens and a wreath of spiral azaleas, calla lilies, and other choice flowers.

But a small portion of the throng in attendance were able to obtain a view of the remains. At about half-past two o'clock, to the regret of thousands, the coffin was closed, and, escorted by the guard of honor, was removed to the hearse. The procession then re-formed and took up its mournful march to the depot of the Northern Central Railway Company.

BALTIMORE TO HARRISBURG.

The funeral train from Baltimore to Harrisburg was under the immediate charge of the Superintendent

of the Northern Central Railway, Mr. Du Barry. At every point along the entire route significant tokens of sorrow and respect were manifested by large concourses of people. At the Pennsylvania State Line, Gov. Curtin met the train, accompanied by his staff, consisting of Adjutant-General Russell, Quartermaster-General Reynolds, Inspector-General Lemuel Todd, Surgeon-General James A. Phillips, and Colonels R. B. Roberts, S. B. Thomas, Frank Jordan and John A. Wright. Governor Curtin was received by Governor Bradford, who was in the front car with his staff, consisting of Adjutant-General Berry, General Edward Shriver and LieutenantColonels Thomas J. Morris, Henry Tyson and A. J. Ridgeley. General Cadwalader, commanding the Department of Pennsylvania, accompanied Governor Curtin. The General's staff consisted of Major W. McMichael, A. D. C., and Captain L. Howard.

At York, a scene worthy of special record occurred. The ladies of that city asked permission to lay on the President's coffin a wreath of flowers. Asst. Adjt.-Gen. Townsend, of the United States Army, granted the request, with a modification that six ladies might perform the service. During the performance of a dirge by an instrumental band the flowers were brought forth and carried in procession to the funeral car, while the bells tolled, and all the men stood uncovered. The ladiesnamely, Mrs. Samuel Smalley, Mrs. Henry E. Miles, Mrs. David-E. Smalley, Miss Plover, Miss Louisa Ducks, Miss Susan Smalley and Miss Jane Lattimore-entered the car, three on each side of the coffin; and the wreath having been handed to them they placed it in the centre of the coffin and then retired, those who witnessed the scene bitterly weeping. The bells continued to toll and the band to sound its mournful strains. The wreath was
