From the Dispatches, The funeral train arrived at Canton Wednesday of .last week and met at the station by an immence throng of people, headed by, the Governor of Ohio. The body was carried to the hearse and the procession formed. In the procession was the entire State guard of Ohio, 8,000 strong, the procession moved to the court house, where the body lay in state Wednesday afternoon, and fully ouLuuu people viewed the remains. At night the body was taken to the AlcKinley home. The grief of the people of the President's home city was intense. Every house was drap ed with black and thousands shed tears as they, viewed the face of their dead neighbor and friend for the last rime. THE FINAL DAY. Thursday with majestic solemnity, surrounded by his countrymen and his townspeople, iu the presence of the President of the United States, the cabiaet, justices of the United States Supreme court, Senators and Representatives in Congress, the head of the military and naval es tablishments, the Governors of States, and a great concourse of people who had known and loved him, all that ,is mortal of the third President to fall by an assassin's bullet was committed to the grave to-day. It was a spectacle of mourn ful grandeur. Canton ceased to be a town and swelled to the propor tions of a great city. From every city and hamlet in Ohio from the re mote corners of the South and from the East and West, the human tide liowed into the town until 100,000 people were within its "gates, here to pay their last tribute to the fallen chief. The final scones at the First .Melho dist church, where the funeral ser vice was held and the beautiful West lawn Cemetery, where the body was consigned to a vault, were sim ple and impressive. The service at the church consisted of a brief o"a tion, prayers by the ministers of three denominations nd singing by & quartette. The body was then taken to Westlawn and placed in a receiving- vault, pending the time when it will be finally laid to rest beside the dead children who were buried years ago. The funeral cor tege was very impressive, and in eludednot onlj' the representatives of the army and navy of the United States, but the entire military strength ot the State of Ohio and hundreds of civic, and other organizations. fraternal It was wo miles long. MRS MCK1NLET NOT PRESENT. One of the most pathetic features of the day was the absence of Mrs. McKinley from the -funeral services at the church and inlhe cemetery when the body of her husband was aid to rest. Since the first shock of the" shooting, then of the death and through the ordeal of state cere monies, she had borne up bravely. but there is a limit to human endur aace and when today came it found her too weak to pass through the trials of the final ceremonies. Through the open door of her room she heard the prayer of the minister as the-body was borne oat of -the house. After that Dr. Rixey re mained close by her side, and al though the full force of the calamity had come upon her, it was believed oy those aoout ner mat there was a providential mercy in her tears, as they gave some relief to the arguish of the heart within. At 7 o'clock to-night President Roosevelt and the members of the cabinet started back to Washing ton. MBS. MCKINLEY S CONDITION SERIOUS. Mrs. Mcliinlt-y s condition is ex- cuing grave apprehension among those caring for her, and it is feared that the dreaded collapse may come at anv moment. Since sbe nas re turned to the old home the full real ization of the full calamity has come upon her. Last evening after the body had been brought from the. court house and deposited in the lit tie front room formerly used as the President s library she pleaded, to be allowed to enter the room and sit beside the casket. Consent was re luctantly granted and for half an hour the stricken widow sat in the dim room beside the tiower-craped oi'-r. Then she was led awav to her room ind has not left it since- Through this morning she wept pit uously hour after hoar Owing to htr condition she was able to take no part in any of the ceremonies to day, neither at the church nor the cumins into the chamber of death when the body was borne away for the last time. From this time on she will be guarded with the most solicitous care and Quiet, for it is onlv in this wav that a collapse can be averted. THE CASKET NOT REOPENED The face of the President was seen for the last time when it lay in state yesterday in the court house. The! casket was not opened after it was removed to the McKmley residence and the members of the family had no opportunity to look upon the si lent features again. The casket was sealed before it was borne away irorn the court house. When Mrs. vtcKinley came into the death cham ber last Dight for her last moments oeside her dead husband she wished to have a final look at the upturned face. But thiss-was impossible and the sealed casket with its flowers and flags were all that she saw. THE BODY BORNE FROM THE HOUSE. As the presidential party came up the black chargers of Troop A swung into battalion front facing the house and the long line of flash ing sabres advanced to salute Now the deep toned wait of the church bells began and every steeple in Canton gave forth its dolorous plaint, it was 1:15 o'clock, and the time had come for taking up the oody A brief priva.e service had oeeu held within the dat kerte i cham oer, Dr. Winchester saying a pray er .vtiile thir relatives gathered around iuii Mrs. McKmley listened ffoui ma naif open- doot of her adjoining room. The double file of body bear ers now stepped into the room and raising the flag wrapped casket to their shoulders, bore it through the open entrance. A solemn hush fell upon the multitude as the bearers advanced with measured tread. Not a bugle blast went up; not a strain of the hymns the dead ruler had lov ed so well. The scene was majestic in its silence. As the casket was borne along above the line of heads could be seen the enfolding Stars and Stripes and on top great masses of white roses arid'delicate lavender orchids. Tenderly the coffin was committed to the hearse and the si lence was broken, as the order to march passed from officer to officer. ARRIVAL AT THE CHTjUCH It was about 1:45 o'clock when the procession passed the court house and turned iufo 7'uscarawas street to the stately stone edifice where the funeral services were to be held. At the church entrance were drawn up deep files of soldiers with byonets advanced, keeping a clear area for the advancing casket and the long train of mourners. The hearse halt ed while President Roosevelt and members of the cabinet alighted. Again they grouped themselves at either sido of the entrance and with uncovered heads s waited the passige of the casket. Then the coffin was brought from the hearse and taken into the draped entrance, the cabi net following the President. The mourners, too,- passed in, but the stricken widow was not among them. She had remaiued behind in the old home, alone with her grief. '"" THE SERVICES BEGIN. It was 2 o'clock when the quar tette arose and lifted up their voices with the touching words of ''Beauti ful Isle of Somewhere." When the sound of the last had died away, Rev. O. B. Milligau, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in which Pres ident and Mrs. McKinley were mar ried 30 years ago, offered a fervent prayer.. Every head within the church bent in solemn reverence as the invocation went up. Dr. John A. Hall, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church, then read from the Bible the beautiful Nine teenth Psalm and Rev. E. P. Her bruek verses 41-58 of the 25th chap ter of First Corinthians. With great feeling he read the inspiring words, telling of the mystery that all would not .sleep but all would be changed. The quartette then sang Cardinal Newman's grand hymn, the beautiful words floating through all the church. Dr. i. . E. Manchester then delivered an address which last ed i. minutes, on the lue of the late President and the the lessons taught by his noble character and death. NEARER MY GOD, TO TUEE' THE LAST HYMN. Bishop I.W. Joyce, of Minneapolis. followed with a brief prayer, and the services were concluded with the iaging of the hymn which Presi dent McKinley repeated on his death bed, "Nearer, My God, t? Tbe. The entire congregation arose and joined in the Isst stanza. Father V altman, of Chicago, chaplain, of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, pronounced he benediction. The notes of organ rose, t he comn was taken up and borne from the church. The relatives and those in official life went out in the order they had en tered. THE LAST MABCII RESUMED. It was after 3 o'clock when the silent and anxious throngs outside the church saw the solemn pageant re appear through the church doors. Out Tuscarawas street the long pro cession moved through a section of the city where the sound of the dirge had not been before heard. But it presented the same sorrow stricken aspect that had been observed in the hpart of ihe cit'. Funeral arches spanned the street, some of them, it is understood, having been erected by school children. The houses were hung in black and even the stately elms along the way and their trunks enshrouded in black and white dra pery. SENTRIES GUARD THE VAULT. One hour and forty minutes after the hearse had entered the cemetery the place was clear and the dead President was resting alone under the watchful care of meu of the reg ujar army. A sentry's measured tread resounded from the cement walk before the yauit, auother kept vigil on the grassy slope above and at the head and at the foot of the casket "stood armed men Before the door which wa not closed to night was pitched the tent. of th guard and there it will remain until the doors sire closed tomorrow. Sentries will then guard the vault every hour of the day and night un til the body has been borne to its final resting piace. t '"TAPS" SOUNDED OVER THE ORAvVT Bishop Joyce, of A3inueapolis,read the .burial service of the Methodist church slowly, but in a voice that could be plainly heard by all who were grouped aiound the vault Colonel Bingham waved his hand to the Canton band, which had taken station on the side of the mound above and to the south of the vault. Instantly from the sigh of bugles rang out the notes of the soldier's last call, "tap3. It was beautiful ly done and the last notes of the bugles died away so softly that all who heard it remained listening for a few seconds to hear if it was really ended. It was the last moment for the men who had been so closely as sociated with the President for so long and the thought seemed great er than most of them could bear. It was all ended at last and Captain Biddle, of Compauy G, of the Four teenth infantry, who will command the guard which is to be placed around the vault, stationed sentr:es at the head and foot of the casket and in front of the vault.

Ohio's Presidents. Springfield Republican. The Presidents that Ohio has giv er, ta the nation have been pursued by a curious and most lamentable fatality. Of the four, only Presi dent Hayes failed to die in office. Garfield and McKinley were assas sinated, and William Henry Harri son served but one month of his term Ohio men have been elected to five terms in office, but succeeded in serving only nine years and one month of the 20 years Harrison one month. Garfield six months, Hayes four years, and McKinley four years tnd six months. It is further inter esting to cote that none of the first eight Presidents, betweer 1789 and 1841. died in office, averaging 6 J years of service, while from 1841 to 1901, a period of 60 years, there have been 17 Presidents, with ah average service of 3J years.

According to the fishermen the Cobra was sighted by the light ship off Dowsin sands yesterday morning, enveloped in steam and she shortly afterwards disappeared. The men on the lightship supposed . 1 1 J .'1.1 the Cobra had sailed away, until the evening when they observed bodies tloatingin the water and signalled to investigate the disaster A dispatch from Middlesboro says 12 survivors of the crew of the Cobra were landed there this morning and confirm the first report that all the others were drowned. The British admiralty has received information that the explosion occurred after the Cobra struck arocn and that she sank immediately. The Cobra like her sister boat, the Viper, was a turbine-engined vessel. . She had just left the yard of her contractors and was nndergoing a boiler test. The Cobra had 77 souls on board For 65 no hope is held out, but tor pedo boats and cruisers have gone at full speed to the scene of the disas ter, which is the most serious since the sinking of the Victoria. Lieu tenant Bosworth Smith, the Cobra's commander, stood upon the bridge with his arms loidea, as impassive as if on parade, and went down with the vessel. About one year ago the torpedo boat destroyer Cobra beat the record of the Viper and won the title of the fas Lest vessel in the worfd. The record of the Viper, which was aft erwards wrecked, was 43 miles an hour, while the Cobra, in an unoffie ial trial over the same course as that sailed by the Viper, at the mouth of the Tyne, made 3,78 knots or 45.3 miles. The Cobra was an exact du plicate of the Viper. Lodge and Roosevelt Boston Record. Mr. Lodge is the bosom friend and political mentor of Colonel Roose velt.

A heavy penalty suit has this week been compromised in North amnton county. It was for penal ties amonnttnc to a.oUU ana 11 was settled for $1,000 and the costs It was a case in whicn one J Peebles, of Jackson, sued E. E. Rob erts, ex-register of deeds, for penal ties for failure to record marriage licenses within the ten days prescrib ed bv law.
