the desire to do right and resolve to do
right, irrespective of consequences, he
was without a superior; this is what
commanded the respect of men. The
fact that he was stricken down at his
postr in the base, stealthy manner in
which he was, created a sentiment of
abhorrence and disgust and with it be
got a sentiment of sorrow and sympa
thy, which grew stronger and more
universal as the days on his bed in
creased in number. His story had been
read the world over, and all lands be

HlchonE LTilll syndicalil e
ousteig fpmline (ossesslon of, theTiest
ern Korth Caxolinattailroad,thd that
the Best syndicate shall be installed as
managers of the property, under the
delusion that Best will build the North
Carolina Midland, between Salisbury
and Goldsborb.l . ; L - i : -: '
In the first place the building of the
road is among the bare possibilities of
the future. .; : y
In the next place, Goldsboro and
Salisbury are already connected by rail,
and it will be many days before the
travel and freight in this direction will
be of sufficient volume to support rival
lines.
Thirdly, if we are not mistaken there
is a clause in the charter of the Korth
Carolina Railroad which expressly for
bids the building of a line to run paral
lel with the present road.
Fourthly, did our Charlotte friends
who are whooping up the project just
how ever stop to think that, if the
Western North Carolina Railroad
should ever become a part of the North
Carolina system, so-called, and this
Midland should be -built, that they
would be at lease forty miles from that
line? That all the howling that could
possibly be done wouldn't move us an
inch in the direction of the great'
thoroughfare, (in imagination).
Fifthly; that Cif the Western North:
Carolina liailroad, the North Carolina
Midland, andthe Atlantic & North
Carolina Railroad, should be united
under one management that Charlotte
would become, not merely a "way sta
tion," but a commercial graveyard.
Sixthly, that the Richmond & Dan
ville syndicate will never build the
link between : Winston land Charlotte,
until they have first decided to surren
der the lease of the North Carolina
Railroad, which road they will cut off
from all freights and passenger travel
from the North and West of the new
line, and when the new line is built
they will tap the North Carolina Rail
road at Charlotte, at Salisbury and at
Greensboro, and choke it out of exis
tence. Seventhly, it is understood that the
North Carolina Midland scheme (on
paper) is a revival of the North Caro
lina Railroad "system" so-called. Isn't
it a new idea to have a North Caro
lina "system" in which Charlotte is to
be left out? The old "system" always
included Charlotte, but the Best "sys
tem" gives her the cold shoulder.
Treatment of the Dead President
It aDDears to be inevitable that a hit
ter and in all probability a prolonged
controversy will take place on the sub
ject of the treatment of the case of the
late President and the conduct of the
autopsy of his remains. Already those
who were in attendance on him in one
capacity or another are being severely
criticised by outsiders and by each
other. Dr. Boynton continues freely to
denounce the treatment of the case and
the report of the autopsy, and indicates
that he will soon make public a full
statement of the true nature of the case
from the beginning to the end on his
own responsibility. The physicians
officially in charge say that in a short
time they will make a supplementary
report on the autopsy, covering every
point and. feature in detail, but if it
tates tnem as long in nronoraonto
make it up in such shape to secure all
their signatures as it did to fix up the
first and only report so far, itwill be
some time before the public have the
opportunity, to peruse it It is said
also, and on the authority of those who
had every means of knowing, that many
ox tne statements given out as to the
favorable condition of the President
and the bright remarks attributed to
him were, to put the most favorable
construction on it, erroneous ; that for
thirty or forty days before his death the
.President was either delirious or un
conscious most of the time. These
facts, with many others equally strange
and important will, it is understood,

Dr. Errett was listened to with close
and earnest attention. He spoke for
forty minutes, and when he closed, a
hush for a moment hung over the vast
audience.
The Rev. Jabez Hall then read Gen.
Garfield's favorite hymn, which was
beautifully sung by the Vocal Society.
The hymn begins
"Ho, reapers of life's harrest!
Why stand with rusted blade?"
At 11:45 o'clock Dr. Charles S. Pome-
roy delivered the final prayer and bene
diction. There were then a few mo
ments of commotion and of prepara
tion. The Washington marine band
flayed "Nearer mv God to Thee." The
uneral procession moved from Monu
mental Park at 11:55.
The' six miles of Euclid avenue.
through which the procession passed
were appropriately decorated in a man
ner becoming the occasion. Designs
were varied and handsomely and taste
fully arranged. Life size pictures of
the president hung in front of many of
the beautiful mansions along the ave
nue draped with national colors en
twined with black crane relieved bv
festoons of white. In the lawns in front
of a large number of residences taste
ful designs have been erected. Broken
shafts mounted withsmilax, of massive
crosses, shields, anchors, harps and
crowns were seen on every hand elabo
rately decorated with evergreens and
nowers suitaoie for mourning designs.
un irospecc street, tne second m
beauty to Euclid avenue, and other
streets leading to the cemetery, there
was tne same universal expression of
mourning by the residents. Elecrant
silk flags trimmed with black hune
from many a staff and broad bands of
crape were stretcned from roof to
foundation on many of the residences.
Every available place for witnessing
tne funeral line on Euclid was utilized.
Stands were erected on all the vacant
lots and were let out at high prices.
Private lawns were occupied by raised
Elatforms and the roof of every house
ad as many chairs as could be crowded
upon tnem.
At 3 so o clock tne procession entered
the cemetery gate way, which was
arched over with black with annro-
priate inscriptions. On the keystone
were tne words -come to Best." On
one side were the words, "Lay him to
rest whom we have learned to love
on the other, "Lay him to rest whom
we nave learned to trust. The mourn
er's carriages and those containing the
guard of honor comprised all of the
procession tnat entered the trrounds.
The cavalry halted at the vault and
drew up in line facing it with sabres
presented. The car drew up with the
mourner's carriages and those of the
cabinet behind. As the military escort
lifted the coffin from the car and car
ried it into the vault the local commit
tees of reception, Secretary Blaine,
Marshal Henry and one or two personal
friends were standing at each side of
the entrance. None of the President's
family, except two of the boys, left
their carriages d urine: the exercises.
which occupied less than half an hour.
Tne exercises in the cemetery closed
with the benediction by President
Hinsdall. At the conclusion of the ex
ercises at the grave the mourners re
entered their carriages, and drove hur
riedly back to the city, to avoid a shower
which was threatening.

blown across the street into a yard.
About two tons of brick were deposited
in the organ of the First Presbyterian

Terrific and Costly Gunpowder
ISxploelon
Council .BLTrtrs. Iowa, Sept 27.
At 5 o'clock last evening, about the close
of the Garfield memorial exercises, this
city was shaken to its very centre by a
temnc explosion, instantly a great
volume of smoke was seen to rise in
the southwestern portion of the city.
An investigation of the cause of the
explosion disclosed the fact that on
Saturday last a car load of gunpowder,
billed as common blasting powder,
reached here over the G, R. L and Fac
R. R. on its way to Denver, CoL The
U. P. Company, however, refused to re
ceive the dangerous freight and the
car was returned to the R. I. yards
where it exploded with fearful force
last evening. The concussion demol
ished the company's round house and
repair shops of brick, and freight house
of frame, besides forty or fifty freight
cars and dug a hole in the ground 15
feet deep and 45 feet in diameter. The
large windows in all parts of the city
were snattered to pieces. Pieces of
plastering were torn from the houses
and havoc was strewn in all directions.
Windows were even broken in Omaha
on the opposite side ofthe river and as
far as Missouri Valley Junction, 20
miles north of us. The loss will foot
up several hundred thousand dollars.
