One Hundred Thousand People Witness the Ceremonies. Wasiiiniivhn, P. ('., March 4. O110 hundred thousand people witnessed to-day the imposing quadrennial ceremo nies of the inauguration of the Chief Mag istrate of the I'uitcd States. The cannon boomed, the city was in holiday attire, and the crowd was well dressed, happy, and contented and accoidcd a very warm re ception to President flrover Cleveland, whose ipiiet demeanor and kindly, placid countenance won the hears of all. The scenes of this great drama of our national life were interesting and impressive, and seemed, perhaps, better founded in com pleteness and accompanied by more en thusiasm than similar events of former years. Democratic and licpiiblican ex hileratiou were about equally apparent and I lie leading incident of the day were united in a pronounced and complete suc cess. The National Democratic Committee some weeks since appointed a general committee of Washington gentlemen to make arrangements for the inauguration ceremonies, and many subcommittees were subsequently selected, consisting of live hundred members, who have per formed their work well. The Congressional Committee com prised a Senator and liepresenlalive from each State and Territory. In addition to these the Senate und House each appointed n committee to make arrangements ut the Capitol. An appropriation of ?2,")II0 was voted for ex penses there. The inaugural platform was elected 111 f runt ol the main portico uf the Capitol, and is the largest one yet constructed, being level with the middle lauding of the portico steps and cttcml ing out nearly thirty feet, with semi circu lar trout ami the outer edge protected by a three-foot rail. In the centre is 11 plat form Ixli and one foot light on which the President stood while taking the oath of office uud delivering his iuaugural. The front, closely boarded, was appropriately festooned uud decorated. This morning .Senators Sherman and Itaiisom proceeded to the Arlington Hotel and escorted Mr. Cleveland to the White House.

At 11 o'clock President Altliur.aud the President und t'iec-l'rqbidaiit Were eamrted by the first livisioii of the parade. At the Capitol the doors of the Senate wing ol' the Capitol were opened at ID A.

The families uf the President and the President piu Inn. of the Senate, the President-elect and the V ice-President elect, ami of the cx-l'rueidcnt- occupied seats in the gallery east of the iliiiloiiiatie gallery. The doors of the Senate Chamber were uh-iiiiI at 11 0 clock to those entitled to admission, us follows: The Prcsidcut and the President-elect, who entered the Senate wing by the bronze doors, eaeh uccouipuuicd by a member of the Committee of Arrange ments. The President proceeded direct to the President's room and the President deut cleet to the Viee-I'resideut's room, where they remained until they entered the Senate chamber. Having been iutro duaed by the Committee of Arrangements, lie')' occupied scats reserved for them in front of the presiding officer. The Com mittee of Arrangements look seals on their left. The Yicc-Ptesideut-clit't proceeded to the Yiee-Prfsiileiit's Mom, where he re mained until he entered the Senate t namtier, when- the oath ot ollice was administered to him by the President of the Senate o-o emioeit. The Diplomatic Corps occupied seats 011 the right of Chair. The Chief Justice, the Associate Jus tices ami the ci-Assoeialea of the Supreme Court look scatH 011 the right of the Chair. Heads of incentive department, the re tired generals of the army, the lieutenant general of he army, the admiral of the navy unol onWra uf the army and navy who, by names, have m-cived ihe thanks of Congress occupied scat on the left of the Chair.

After the organization of the Senate was completed, those assembled in the Senate chamber proceeded through the rotunda to the platform on the central portico of tbc Capitol, in the following order : The Marshals of the District of Colum bia and the Marshal of the Supreme Court. Kx-I'rusideiits and ex-Yice Presidents. The Supreme Court. The Sergeant at Arms of the Senate. The Committee of Arrangements. The President und the President elect.

On reaching the portico the President and President-elect took the seats re served for them, the Chief Justice on their right, and the Segeant-at-Aruis of the Senate on their left, and other dis tinguished guests, above mentioned, occu pied the scats assigned to them. At noon the oalh of office was admin istered to the President-elect by the Chief-Justice, and President Cleveland delivered bis inaugural address. The Ilible used is a small moroeeo-cov- ered, gilt-edged volume, pretty well worn. It is the Ilible which Mr. Cleveland's mother gave hitu when he left home as a young man, and at his special request the Committee of Arrangement had it in readiness for the ceremony. At 1 o'clock on the conclusion of the ceremonies, the members of the Senate, pn-cceded by the Sergeant at-Arms, Vice President, ami the Secretary, returned to the Senate chamber, uud the President, accompanied by the Committee of Ar rangements, proceeded to the Kxeeulive Mansion. The parade was the grand feature of the day uml moved smoothly under the following organization. Chief Marshal Major tieueral Henry W. Slocutn. of New Y'ork; chief of staff. Mivvct llrigadii-r (Ieneral Alb-rt Ordway. I'uited States volunteers; marshal of lirst division, lirevet Major (.ieneral 1!. II. Ayres. I'. S. iiruiy; marshal of second di vision.

Mr. Thomas J. laittrell. of Washington. The lirst division consisted of the reg ular army, the marine corps, and the Dis trict militia; the second of the National Guard- of the State of Pcunsyvania, which was represented by 1S4 companies; the third di isioii comprised all the other visi ting militia, while the fourth consisted uf the civic organizations. 1 civil division was organized as follows: T. J. Luttrell, marshal; Mai, K, W. Anderson, chief of; staff', and was di vided into six brigades, us follows: First brigade composed of civic organizations from the Senate of New York, Gen. Ho ratio King, of llrookly, N. Y; secoud bri gade, composed of organizations from Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio, and Illinois, Mr. Henry Wise (iunett; third brigade composed of clubs from Pennsylvania, Hon. J. II. Hopkins; fourth brigade, composed of clubs fiom Maryland, Mr. Spencer Watkius; fifth brigade, composed of Virginia uud District of Columbia clubs, Mr. Benjamin F. Moyd; sixth bri gade, lire detriment and cavalry. Mr. W. A. llulchius. The military turned out 12,00(1 meu the civic organizations 11,000, with brass and cornet bands aggregating !),"i0 men furnishing the music. Gen. Ordway, chief of staff, bad tele graph communication with each division during the live-miles parade by adoption of I he tield telegraph of the signal coi-is. As there were 21,000 men in line this was found to be the safest and most ac cessible way of communicating with the divisions to lie informed of delays or ill terruplioiis to I lie line. The first division, composed of the regular troop and District militia, formed West of Kill street nnd escorted ihe President-elect from the Arlington Hotel the Capitol, Vilicio ho look the oath ol office and delivered his inaugural address while the lronHi passed 011 to ihe North side of Capitol mill halted in rcadimws for the line of march down that side of the Capitol when ihe ceremonies were completed. The remainiug three divisions did not take purl in escorting the Prmi dent to the Capitol, hut proccedis! direct lo the New Jersey, Maryland and Dela ware avenue, east ot the Capitol, where they waited the termination of the cere- m onies. The liue then formed and the parade actually liegun. The route of the prtx'cssion was via the north side of the Capitol to Pennsylvania avenue, to Wash ington Circle, to K street, to Connecticut avenue, to Ithodo Islaud, to Massachu setts avenue, to 14th street where the parade was dismissed. Before the head of the line reached the avenue opposite the Kxeeulive Mansion the President left the line and proceeded to the stand in front of the While House, where he re viewed the parnde, The liue was live miles long and there were military organizations in it from 2il states and the District besides numerous other organizations from every part of the country. All along the line of inarch the side walks were thronged with enthusiastic people while every uvuilable window was filled with sight-seers. Kvery little park on the route was covered with tiers upon tiers of wooden seats, and filled with spec tators. Public ami private buildings were handsomely decorated with bunting, Hags and shields, the War Department loaning nearly a thousand stand of national colors for the occasion. Various trades ami civic oreanizations in the tiarade bore hundreds of brilliant banners and emblems and among the features was u handsomely decorated liberty cur drawn by the mem bers of the Fast Washington Cleveland and Hendricks Club, surmounted by a pretty young lady, representing the God dess of Iiiberly. Two large bells chim-.1 out glad tones as the throngs uiude the air resound with loud cheers, and every moment or two tile booming of cannon drowned the din of the multitude. Ornamental niches were constructed over the entrance gates to the White House grounds, but, in deference to the wishes of President Cleveland, no triumph al arches were erected over the streets us in former years. The gay scene was also further enhanced by decorating lamp post by means of designs painted oil canvass backed by wood, the canvas about ibrce by three feet, representing eoat-nl-arins of the sev eral Slates, i.'uited State shields, Army and Navy designs, scieuee, art, kc. The pyrotechnic display was brilliant 111 the extreme, upwards of twenty-carloads of material being used. The day firework produced novel effects, and con sisted of bombshells fired from fifty mor tals, ami which exploded high in the air and represented animals of all kinds elephants, deer, oxen, monkeys, tortoises, lishes, dragons, birds und butterflies; houses, ballcotis,' men in boats, comic human figures, umbrellas, prismatic snow flakes, colored hail, flags of all naliotis, storm clouds with lightning, und various colored clouds, flowers, smoke effects, and in fact, almost every conceivable design. Five balloons were scut up and discharged iu mid air. A IMtlNTKIC AN1 Ills TV I'l'.S. Itenjamin F. Taylor, the printer-poet, says: Perhaps there is no department or en terprise whose details are less understood by intelligent people, than the "art pre servative, the achievement of time. Kvery day, their life long, ieople are accustomed to read the newspapers and find fault with its statements, its govern ment, its looks; to plume themselves upon the discovery of some roguish acrobatic type that gets into a frolic and stands on its head, or some waste letter or two in it but of the process by which the newspa per is made, or the myriad of mills and the thousands of pieces necessary to its composition, they know little and gener ally think less. They imagine they dis course of a wonder indeed when they speak of the fair white carpet, woven for thought to walk on, from rags that flut teted on the back of the bepgar on jester day. Hut there is something more wonderful still. When wehsiknt the hundred and fifty-two little boxes, somewhat shaded by the touch of inky fingers, that com pose the printer's "ease," noiseless except the click of the tyjie as. one by one they take their places in the growing line we think we have found a marvel of art. Wc think how many fancies in frag ments there are in those little boxi-s; how many atoms of poetry uml eloquence the printer can make heie and there, if he only had a little chart to work by; how many facts in a small "handful;" how mm h truth in chaos. Now he pi. ks up the scattered elements until he holds iu his hand a stanza of of "Gray's Klegy," or a mouody ou "(rime ull Hiittotiisl up Before." Now he s is " Puppy Missing," uud now "Para dise Lost."

Stephen Clark, living near Consecon. was uttueked with hydrophobia this week, and became so violent that he had to be taken to the Pietuii jail. He was seized with convul sions while engaged iu family prayers, and before neighbors arrived was raving liku a mailman, tearing and ailing his own flesh until he presented a hideous appearance. When he became rational he stated that ha was bitten by 11 mad dog while travelling with a circus iu Car thage iu July, 1HS0. During the lirst four hours his fits were accompanied with barking, growling and imitation of heavy panting. During the intervals the barking of 11 dog would im mediately excite, another fit. .liter being strapped to a bed by seven muscular men he got loose nnd cut his face badly in attempting to shave, lie also pulled off a piece of flesh hanging from a wound on his band and chewed it, being apparently pleased vviih the taste of his own blood.

Mr. Lincoln was terribly bored by men who fancied that they had some patent I plan for conquering the rebels. Among I them was awest' ru former, who was pa tiently listened to, uud who, wheu he had concluded, asked the opinion of the presi dent upon his plan. "Well," said Mr. Lincoln, "I'll answer by telling you a story. You have heard of Mr. Hanks, of Chicago? He was an immense loafer in his way, in fact, never did anything in his life. One day be got crazy over a great rise in the price of wheat upon which many wheat speculators gained large for tunes. Blank started off one morning to one of the most successful of the wheat speculators, ami with much enthusiasm laid before biui a 'plan' by which he, the said Blank, was certain of becoming in dependently rich. When be bad finished, he asked the opinion of his bearer upon his plan of operation. The reply came as lollows : 'My advice it that you stick to your business f "But," usked Bluuk, 'what is my business?" 'I don't know, I'm sure, what it is,1 says the luerchaut, 'but whatever it is I advise you to stick to it!'

Hnr. VfArij Pxm.. OKIVKN MAI). Denirr (Co.) .Vireeit Desmtes. Mrs. William Westall, a lady well known in this city, was to-day udjudged insane. The cause of her iiiKiinity was a peculiar circumstance. She is the wife of an engineer on the South Park Kail road. About ten days ago, during the absi uce of the husband with his train, a gypsy fortune-teller called upon Mrs. Westall, and after repeated entreaties was permitted to tell the lady's fortune. Among the points told by the fortune teller was one to warn Mrs. Westall of the danger her husband was in. She said lhat unless Mr. Westall was imme diately taken from duty on the road he would be killed in an accident that after noon. The gypsy related so many thiugs which Mrs. Westall knew to be true that she believed the story about her husband's impending peril. She made an attempt to roach her husband by telegraph, but failed, and during the uight and the next day she became raving mad and has not recovered. Tne pvpsy cannot be found and her motive can only be guessed at Wcstair friends think that the Wouiau was paid for her work.
