The escort from the depot to {the pavilion
in the square consisted of the Oriental
Knight Templars fiof Cleveland,2150 strong ;
Hollywood Commandery, Cleveland, 55
strong; and Columbia Commandery Knights
Templar-s, Washington, 100 strong. Garfield
was a member of this commandery.
' 'th congressional train arrived fifteen
minutes after the funeral train. The joint
committee of congress were driven with the
procession, to the public square.
The carxin which the casket .came was
filled with flowers. The coffin was wrapped
in triple folds of fine crape, and a huge flag.
Upon it were a few white‘fiowers, and green
leaves. It was borne from the train by Un-
ited States artillcryman,who wore white hel-
mets, and who, with drawn swords, look up
positions beside the hearse.
The pavilion, the finest structure of the
kind over erected, is located in the'centrc Of
the squamand is forty feet square at the base.
The four fronts are spanned by arches thirty-
six feet high and twenty-four feet wide at the
base. The catafalque is five feet and a half
high, covered with black velvet and hand-
somely festooncd.
A long carpeted walk ascends to the floor
from the cast and west fronts. The pavilion
is seventy-two feet high to the apex of the
roof. From the centre of the roof risesa
beautiful gilt sphere, supporting the figrue of
an angel, twenty-four feet high. The col-
umns ',at each side of the arches are orna-
monlcd by shields of beautiful design, ex-
quisitely draped. Over these are suspended
unfurled flags. The centres of the arches
bear familiar shields. On the angles of the
roofs are groups of furlcd flags. Projecting
from the angels of the base are elevated
platforms, to be occupied by uniformed
guards. Each platform will'be provided
a piece of artillery. The structure is approp-
riately decorated from base to dome with
black and white craps, flowers and flags,
displayed in various portions of the pavilion.
The interior is beautified with rare plants,
choice flowers, and exquisite floral designs.
At the cast and west side of Monumental
park are heavy gothie entrances, having
arched driveways and openings for foot
passengers on each side. They are situated
at _snc‘n a distance from the pavilion as to

vcovercd with white and black trimmings
running down each column, and is bordered
with blue and white stars. Added to these
are several golden shields. The western
gateway is similar in construction. 0n the
extreme outside pillars are the names of the
states in black letters. The north and south
approaches are, in Ireality, gateways, built
with has reliefs draped in white, with one
large central arch, and heavy ports on
either side. Surmounting all, appear large
golden eagles, and and other appropriate dc-
signs.
During Saturday night, (when the Park
and Cstafalqne were lighted with electric
lights) and Sunday, it is estimated overs.
hundred thousand people passed up through
it to view the casket wherein reposed the
mortal remains of the beloved President.
Early Monday a. m. the various military.
masonic and Other associations formed in all
the contiguous streels in readiness to join the
‘ mornful march to the cemetery, fully six
miles distant at the extreme end of Euclid
Avenue, when the brief funeral services at
the pavilion should end. ' '
The sad day that was to see the last upon
earth of James A. Garfield, dawned'with a
heavy burden of clouds across the sky,
broken here and there by a glimpse of the
serene and infinite blue beyond. As the
hours went by, the heavens unrolled more
and more of blue, and by the time of the
closing moment at the altar where the prec-
ious remains had been for alifcw short. days
in rest, the broad face of the sun looked down
with intense heat, and anon, a faint rainbow
spanned the western horizon as if the ele-
ments of the sky would pay silent, but beau-
tifultribute to the honored and lamented.
dead.
Among the first seen on the catafalque
was'ex-President Hayes. Soon after a body
of distinguished men, Chief Justice Waite,
Err-Justice Strong, J usticc Stanley Matthews,
General W. T. Sherman. Admiral John
Rogers, General Phil Sheridan, Commodore
English, General Winfield S. :Hancock,
Quartermaster General Mcigs, Surgeon Gen-
eral Wales, Adjutant General Drum, etc. .
Next were the Senators 50f the United
States, gathered in honor of one who had
been called to sit with them but who had
been called to come up higher.
At 10:15 a lide of carriages passed through
the gate at the cast, and every head was un-
covered as a small bent figure in black, With
gleams of silver hair caught through the sa-
ble folds, came slowly-up the steps to the
catafalque. It was the old mother leaning
on the arm of one of the grandsons. She
passed slowly to the northwest corner and sat
down in silence. .
Next came the stricken wife, supported

heart.
At 19:45 the exercises of prayer and song
were opened by Dr. Errett, Bishop Bedell,
Dr. Houghton and others. I .
Right Rev. G. T. Bcdcll the venerable
white-haired Bishop .with deep and solemn
tenderness running through his voice, read
the precious words of the Holy Book so full
of comfort and promise.
Then Dr. Ross C. Houghton prayed clo-
quentiy for the family, and for millions who
had been stricken with them in their loss.
Then the Vocal Society again raised their
voices in solemn song.
Dr. Robinson then arose and said: “We
will now listen to, an address by the Rev.
Ruse Errett of Cincinnati.”
The Doctor spoke‘ for forty minutes and
concluded as follows =

Henceforth there is laid up for thee a crown

ons judge, will give to thee in that day; and
not unto thee only, but unto all them also
who love his appearing.”
Rev. J abcz Hall then read Garfield’s fav-
orite hymn, which was beautifully sung by
the Vocal Society. ,
At 11:45 Dr. Charles S. Pomcroy deliv-
ered the final prayer and benediction as fol-
lows : I .'
There-were a few moments of preparation
while the Washington Marine 'Band played
“Nearer My God to thee !” and then that
tender tune, “In the Sweet Bye and Bye.”

' The drapings all along Euclid avenue were
of the most costly and elaborate character
and yet not at all overdone. The sides of
the avenue, .the yards and dwellings were
literally enveloped in a solid mass of people
The procession was over two hours passing a
given point, and when the head reached the
cemetery gate it divided to either side of the
avenue that the reviewing cortevc might pass
through and thus halved it extended back
three miles toward Monumental Square. A
heavy shower fell just before the funeral car
reached the cemetery,Ibut this did not inter-
fere with the perfect carrying out of the
sorrowful ceremonies. The remains were
removed to the receiving vault where they
will be kept until placed beneath the propos-
cd National monument, to be forever at rest.
Such a vast, solid mass of human beings
were never congregated in Ohio before, if
anywhere within the bounds of the nation,
and yet all were respectful, Silent, reverent
and mournful. There were I__morc yget than
dry eyes as the sable car {ended its slow
way to the cemetery. Sobs innumerable we
heard, but not one loud word or idle jest. It
was indeed a never-to-be-Ifdrgotten scene.
Little Connecticut was well represented in
her public men, and quite a number of pri-
vate citizens Gov. Blgelow and Gen. Har-
mon of his staff, Ex-Gov. Marshall Jewell,
Senator J. R. Hawley, Congressmen Miles
and Buck were Observed in the funeral cor-
tege.
It was remarked that although Boston sent
her Fusiliers, (the same company that at-
tended the inauguration last March) the old
Bay State had no Official representative here

Mayor Beaudry, City Clerk Glackmcr and
eight aldermen from the city of Montreal,
were among the representatives of foreign
cities 'who were here to pay their respects to
the memory Of our martyred President.
There were many, many, touching inef-
dents and episodes. which we cannot give
without extending to too great length this
hurried delineation of one of the most solemn
and marked events in our Nation’s history.
A most gratifying‘fcature of the procession
was to see the members of Catholic societies
with their rich banners heavily draped. The
tattered and bullet torn battle flags of Gen.
Garfield’s old regiment and brigade were a
pathetic incident in the long procession.
Throughout the long journey from Nor-
walk to this beautiful forest city that Garfield
loved so well, every device and method of
testifying a people’s affection and grief was
resorted to. To him all this was unavailing;
but though dead, his great soul, his Godly
life and purpose still live and will ever bless
mankind. Above his coffin and around his
bier today, the universal world stands rever-
ent and sorrowing. The same grave that
swallows up all that was mortal of our Mar-
tyr President, also burics sectional hates,
party rancor and knits all men, everywhere,
into closer brotherhood. May it not be God’s

The Garfield Monument Committee have
issued an appeal, requesting banks, news-
papers, and postmasters to receive funds for

Democracy Gains Control.
Election, morning opened rainy, which was
a bad omen for the Republicans. Then a
Temperance Ticket and a bad Republican
split were run, a la Conkling by a few disaf-
fected ones and disappointed candidates,
who succeeded in defeating their party asso-
ciates and causing the election of nearly the
whole democratic ticket; thus taking the
town government out of the hands of the
Republicans and giving it to the democrats.
It also 'makcs the Board Of Registration for
the State clection,democratic. We hope the
bolters will feel happy Over their success
when they contemplate the result of their
treachery to their old party friends.
So many split tickets have made very la-
" bOrioiis “Work for the counters, and in this
district, the lst, the counters kept faithfully
.at work until daylight and then were only
about half through their task. Some of the
.chronic scratchcrs ought to be made to act
as counters for a few elections, and then
they could realize how it is for themselves.

cause Of that same party affiliation and affec-

letE things go so, for although you did not
perhaps, have everything to suit your notion,
another year when you or your friends are in

City Election.
Although the City of South Norwalk is
largely Republican, it has elected a Demo-
cratic Mayor and Councilmen, owing, it is
said, to the Reform Club having been sup-
posed to have made the ticket run by the
Republicans. Whatever the reason, it is
a shame that so gOod and true aIman should
be slaughtered, as the one who headed the
ticket, Capt. George W. Day. Republicans
cannot afford to go back on true men like the
Captain. ‘ -
Ex-Mayor Swartz is elected by about 80
majority over Capt. Day. Swartz is a good
fellow, but that is not a sufficient reason for
Republicans deserting their colors to vote for
aDcmocrat. ,

Rumors arc rife of cabinet changes to be

before the assembling of.the Senate in special

A Shooting Case.
On Wednesday morning last, while on his
way to his work in the Norwalk Mills,
.M“ James Crowther was met and shot by his
'son, Horace Crowther. Mr. Crowther was
immediately conveyed to his home by neigh-
bors who promptly rallied at hearing the pie
toi shot, and Dr. Gregory being called, made
a thorough examination and found that the
ball, of 32 calibre, had struck the right side
over one Of the ribs and run around the back
for several inches, he found and cut out the
ball and Mr. Crowther is'in a fair way of re-
covcry.
‘ Ofilccr Nelson arrested young Crowthcr
and conveyed him to the lock up until Judge
Mead could give him a hearing, by .whom he
was sent to Bridgeport to await trial.
Young Crowther is supposed to be insane,
he has been, in fact, in the State Asylum for
treatment,butlwas let out, supposed cured,,but
his old malady seems to have returned to
him and made him a dangerous man to be at
large. He is about twenty-three years of
age.

For the Gazette.
About eighty .years‘ago two broghers from
the town of Fairfleld, in seeking fortunes,
went West. On reaching Sullivan County
they found any quantity of heavy timbcred
land at'very low price, and purchased some
1600 acres in the town of Liberty. One
brother fitted himself a house after the
fashion of the day and settled at once.
There was onc‘other family in the toWu.
They worked'and cleared, i. c. the family of
one of the brothers (and in order to describe
them, Liberty being noted for its Hills we
will call it the Hill family) the other brother
had not the courage to encounter the mighty
forest, but in time One of his sons settled
there. The Hill family after enduring inde-
scribable hardships were so unfOrtunateas
to lose the father, leaving a family of eight
children, the oldest being about sixteen or
eighteen. This family by peseverance and.
faith in a higher power have becomes most
remarkable one. The mother lived to be-
tween 90 and 100 years and left over one
hundred and thirty children, grand children
and great grand children. One of her chil-
dren now living has six boys whose height
added is over thirty-six feet and their
weights average 0,.V¢.I'. 200 pounds. and what
isjdost surprising, all thes'h'childrefi and.
theirdescendants of suitable age are».pros—.
perons in business and live in more modern
and better style than the general run of New
England. Some of thisIextraordinary fami-
ly stand financially as high or higher than
any in Sullivan County. Eighty years ago
the town of Liberty was such a dense forest
as to hardly admit of the sunlight at mid-
day; now it abounds in the greenest hills
and valleys, surpassing many of the best
views in New England. These Hills are all
stalwarts but not of the Conkling order;
they are politically of the same kind as their
relation who was once a. most worthy citi-
zen Of your town. Can you name, Mr.
Editor, a parable to this wonderful Hill
family? Having recently seen about 75 -Of
this family leads me to ask the question and

OBITUARY.
FREDERICK R. BENEDICT.
In Wilton, on Thursday last, passed to his
last test, ripe in years and in faith, a vener-
able man, well known in. this community,
as a man of strict probity and upright in all
his dealings. Frederick R. Benedict was born
in Norwalk, was a brother of Messrs. George
and Wm. Henry Benedict of South Norwalk.
His, is the first death in the family of five
children, which was composed of four sons
'and oneldaughtcr. He went to Wilton to learn
his trade about sixty years ago.and marrying
he has lived there ever since, uniting
with the Congregationrl Church there some
forty years ago. For many years he carried
on the Boot and Shoe business there, and
was generally highly esteemed in the com-
munity. He leaves a family to mourn his
loss, and the neighborhood also mourns a
hood man gone. The South Norwalk Repub-
lican has the following notice of his death:
Frederick R. Benedict, one of the oldest
and most respected citizens of .Wilton, died
on Thursday, in the 77th year of hisage.
He was a brother of Messrs. George‘and
Wm. H. Benedict of this city, and had been
a resident of Wilton for the last sixty years.
His sons Edgar and Wm. H., of Brockport,
N. Y., have come here to be in attendance
at the funeral, which takes place today,
Saturday, from his late residence, one
o’clock.

Opera. House Tagfiighl.
Stanley has managed to secure a first-class
performance for our citizens, to be presented
at the Opera House tonight, and our play-
going people ought to see to it that he is en-
couraged in his efforts to procure good com-
panies, by filling the house,_to witness this
presentation of the great play “Jo,” by the
renowned English actress Miss J ennie Lee.
The New York Post says that
“Miss Jennie Lee has won both reputation
and fortune in this character in Englandmbd
her success may be attributed justly to posi-
tive merit. Her performance is noteworthy
as an illustration Of what can be accomplish-
ed by intelligent and minute observation.
It is a study from the life, and reproduces
with remarkable fidelity the external attri-
butes of representative London street Arab,
The dirt, the rags, the shuffling walk, the
vacant stare, the mingled impudence and
timidity, the constant expectation of a com-
ing blow. lne hunted hungry look and half
pathetic, half repulsive suggestion of forlorn
and accepted misery are preserved with all
the truthfulness of a photograph. There is
no attempted at idealization; the impersona-
tion is a copy—from different models un-
doubtedly, but none the less a copy—flown
to the slightest gestures, some of which are
too vividly suggestive to be altogether pleas-
ant. The performance is especially worthy
of recognition on account of the honest
labor and study which manifestly have been
bestowed upon it. That the actress pleased
the audience was proved by the frequent ap-
plause which rewarded her.
Just at the close of the memorial exercises
