SCEXES AT THE GRAVE.
Ivdiaxapolis December 1. The mortal remains
f Thomas Hendricks were conveyed to the tomb
o-day. The event was made memorable by the
presence of a tremendous concourse of people
from all parts of the nation to witness the simple
rites which preceded their interment. A wintry
eaden sky and thick atmosphere prevailed during
he early hours. A heavv fog hung over the city
when day broke but as tfie hours wore on lifted
somewhat. The chief structures of the city were
hidden in folds of black drapery. The life of the
city was entirely suspended. The clergy without
respect to 6ect joined in the observances. The
bells of all churches tolled a requiem. The early
morning trains on all the railroads brought delega-
tions from the national capital and all leading cities
of the union together with an influx of people
from all cities and hamlets of central Indiana and
Illinois. Chief among the arrivals were members
of the cabinet congressional delegations and repre-
sentatives of the supreme court of the United
States. The number of active and ex-members of
the lower house was very large.
HA.). GENERAL SCIIOFIELD
was the chief representative of the United States
army present. Ex-President Hayes and Gen. Wm.
T. Sherman were distinguished guests the latter
accompanying the delegation from St. Louis.
The multitude in the streets was 6o large as to
Impede ordinary progress on all chief thorough-
fares. Wmhinirton street presented a black mass
of humanity; hours before the services were entered
upon at St. Paul's and long before the passage of
the column the eye rested on a waiting multitude
which occupied apparently every vantage point
along the broad thoroughfare. Emblems of mourn-
ing had crown in quantity and design since the
death of the Vice-President until now. The whole
city might be said to have been lavish in the display
of siirns of public sorrow. The countv court bouse.
where the remains lay in state until last eveningand
the state house were tastefully draped. Legends
were very few. One business house bore the
words "I am free at last" the last words of the
dead V ice-President. Portraits ot tne deceased
SHROUDED IN BLACK
were profusely hung in windows.
The central point of attraction for the visiting
multitude was the home ot the late vice president
on the front of which was a black rosette from
whieh constituted the only outward emblem of
mourning. The scene presented in the interior of
the house however carried with it all the evi
dences of death. Emblems of mourning and me-
morial floral designs were everywhere. On the
mantle in the front parlor was an elaborate floral
piece "The Gates Ajar" sent by members of the
Chinese class ot a Presbyterian Sunday school
The most notable representation of designs in
nowers was that ot the log cabin in which Air.
Hendricks was born. It stood at the head of the
coffin and was the work of the ladies of Shelby-
VUle where Mr. Hendricks formerly lived.
MRS. lIENTRICK9.
at nine o'clock entered the room for her last leave-
taking accompanied by her brother and Mrs. Mor-
can. The widow seemed to be utterly prostrated
Impressed with the placid and life-like appearance
of the dead she desired to preserve this last
scene and sent for a photographer to take a picture
of the casket w hue the photographer was en
gaged at work the members of the cabinet and
judges of the supremo court entered and shortly
after them tho pall-bearers. The hearse and car-
riages were before ttie door and preparations com
plete tor the nnai removal ot the body and the
little cavalcade moved quietly through the densely
lined streets to the cathedral of St. Paul. The
casket was borne at 1 :14 into the church where a
vast congregation were already seated. Tne om
ciating clergy in the robes of his office met the re
mains at the entrance and proceded by a guard of
tne Indianapolis light intantry tne oody was Dome
up the central aisle and placed outside the chancel
Following tho bier came the widow on the arm of
her brother followed by other relatives. The
pew occupied by the vice .president in life-time was
completely enveloped in black and was unoccupied.
The interior of the church was decorated plainly
bnt effectively. On either side of the altar was a
sheaf of wheat. On the face of the pulpit was a
column ui wiiue rue. ine oase was ine m-
' scription "September 19 1819" and at its top was
'November 28 18S5." On the summit of the
Column was perched a white dove.

and chancel were brilliantly lighted. The choir

The lesson for . the dead was then read and was
followed by singing the hymn "Lord Heavenly
Light."
Rev. Dr. Jenks speaking delivered the funeral
address taking as his text Phillippians iv-8. When
the speaker had concluded the bishop closed with
nravers and the benediction. The casket was then

committee. The bells of the city churches began
tolling when the remains were taken from the
nouso and continued pealing during the continua
tion of the church rites and while the procession
was on tne marcn to tne urown urn cemetery.
There was very little delay in the movement of the
great column which was preceded by a mounted
police escort the hearse drawn by six black horses
wearing black paraphernalia worn by the animals
attached to the funeral car which bore the remains
of General Grant to the grave. The funeral car
accupied the central position in the second grand
section of the first grand division composed of the
Btate military companies.
SECOND DIVISION.
In the second grand division following the
hearse a came carriage containing Mrs. Hendricks
jars. . w. morgan Mr. and Mrs. Jntznugh Thorn
ton. The succeeding twelve carriages contained
relatives and near friends. Ex-President Hayes
occupied the next carriage followed Dy members
of the cabinet senators and representatives : gov
ernors and their staffs ; United States judiciary and
military omcers.
The third division was composed of all non-mil
itary organizations preceded by the local Irish
American organization followed by marching
political clubs. United States senators and repre
sentatives state officers of Indiana followed by
the presidents and faculties of universities and col-
leges mayors of cities and other officials.
The fourth grand division was made up of local
municipal organizations. The column took up the
line of march nt 12:40. but its progress was re-
tarded in the business district owing to blockading
crowds but when the column reached Meridian
street leading to Crown Hill cemetery progress
was much more rapid. This broad thoroughfare

Hendricks lot forms a part.
HISTORIC GROUND.
It constitutes historic ground for Indiana. To
the east rises a marble shaft erected to the mem
ory of Geneaal Jefferson C. Davis. Immediately
opposite lie the remains of Oliver P. Morton. A
little to the north is the grave oi ueneral Canbv.
To the north-east there is another piece of ground
dotted with tne 6impie neadstones ot seven Hun
dred of Indiana's soldiers who lost their lives on
the battle field. The Hendricks lot is graced with
a simple column ot poiisned marine granite thirty
feet high seven at the base and which was erected
three vears ago when Mr. Hendricks was deemed
in failing health. The lot contains the grave of

casket was borne to the grave.the venerable Bishop

liev. Dr. Jeackes read the commital service the
bishop closing with prayer. The widow and her
Buppotrera approached the grave the remaining
multitude standing on at a respecctui distance
away.
The scenes at the grave were impressive. There
was no special restraint upon admittance to the
cemetery and several hundred persons had gath-
ered about the grave before the funeral party ar-
rived. The body of the procession had disbanded
after passing beyond the city limits and only the
military with mounted escort entered the ceme-
tery. The space reserved about the grave had only
been defined by placing a line of planks and ever-
green twigs which was quite sufficient to protect it
from Intrusion.
Just before the had of the column came up the
crowd was pushed back still farther to give ample
room to the friends who were assigned to the side
of the grave which the column approached. This
order was cheerfully obeyed when Mrs. Hendricks
leaning upon the arm ot Mr. Morgan stepped upon
tne matting placed alongside the grave and before
the casket was removed from the hearse she
paused to look down into the last resting place of
the dead only to see a picture of loveliness in its
lining of green leaves and flowers. Then she
turned to the grave of her child which had been
made glorious with a covering of smilax and flow-
ers and read in letters of white hia baby name
"Morgie" and on the top of the grove on a field
of white in purple letters the sentence:
And a three-fold cord shall not be
broken." The tender love which she discerned in
this treatment of her treasure by sympathetic
friends seemed to give her courage for
TI1E LAST ORDEAL.
Her trlance then caught the monument with its
drapery of the national flag enveloping a life-like
portrait of her husband. Facing the grave she
turned with the bravery of heroism to witness the
last rites. There had been no ramiall tor a Drier
period bnt the sky was lowering. Just as the cof-
nn was placed beside tne grave mere was a sngm
falling of rain causing manv to recall the old
saying "blessed are the dead whom the rain falls
on."
The Columbus Earracks band at this point
1layed the American hymn and the services fol-
owed. Mrs. Hendricks only leaned more heavily
upon Mr. Morgan resting her head at last iipon his
shoulder but her self control was maintained
while the service was read. Ihe congressional
committee the members of the cabinet and other
distinguished visitors stood npon the other sine oi
the grave. The words of the clergyman were now
and then drowned by the sound of the minute
gun which kept firing nntil after
the interment was over. When the coffin had been
lowered into the vault by the four colored assist-
ants of the undertaker and there was nothing re
maining to be done but the placing ot tne stone
and the filling of the grave which was to be at-
tended to by the cemetery force there was a mo-
ment's pause and a silence.broken only by the min
ute gun. Then Mrs. Hendricks and the mends ot
the family passed by the still open but not repel-
lant grave and took their carriages. The people
who had waited so respectfully then flocked to the
grave to get a nearer view. The military order
"forward march!"
started the soldiers homeward. The carriages rap-
idly rolled away and the distinguished dead was
left alone.

Indian Territory special says : A bill author-
izing the distribution of $300000 received from the
lease of grazing lands of the territory to a cattle
syndicate among the Cherokees per capita is now
before the lower house of the Cherokee legislature.
The bill attracts general attention throughout the
territory. The Delaware and Shawnie Indians and
the white and negro citizens claim that the money
should be equally divided among all resident
citizens of the nation. The bill hovcw provides
for the distribution of the money an ong the Cher-
okees only. An amendment making division

vote.

blooded Cherokees. It is believed that the origi-
nal bill will pass the lower house by a small ma-
jority. Friends of general distribution appear to
have the law upon their side as well as treaty pre-
cedents and will it is claimed appeal to congress

were called in to see him that he took enough
morphine to lull him and that was the intention in
taking it. He refused to take an antidote and they
were obliged to administer it hypodermically and
in this way the effect of the morphine was counter-
acted. The physicians despaired of saving him.
After working at him until about 12 o'clock last
night the antidote had to be injected by force and
Dr. Musick who has just returned from a visit to
him to-day thinks that Dr. Biles will now
recover but says he is still unconscious.
The doctor when asked why he attempted
self destruction said he was tired of life and had
nothing to live for. The general opinion how-
ever attributes it to his social and domestic af-
fairs and anticipated trouble growing out of these
causes coupled with financial embarrassment
which he gave as one of his reasons for his act.

UNHAPPY MAN.
Why persist in ruining your digestion
by eating unwholesome food and keeping
it ruined by doing nothing to restore it to
usefulness and right action? Some think
that dyspepsia is incurable. They are
the ones who have never taken Brown's
Iron Bitters. This valuable family medi-
cine makes short work of the tormentor
and soon enables the digestive apparatus
to do its work. Mr. H. E. Collins of Ke-
okuk Iowa says: "I have used Brown's
Iron Bitters for dyspepsia and am greatly
benefited."
Advocates of prohibition need have no
fear of "Peickly Ash Bitters" as it is a
medicine and by reason of its cathartic
properties cannot be used as a beverage.
It is manufactured from the purest ma-
terials and acts directly on the liver kid-
neys stomach and bowels. As a blood
purifier it has no equal. It is pleasant to
the taste and effective in action.

burg N. Y. writes us: "I have for the
past ten years sold several gross of Dr.
Wm. Hall's Balsam for the lungs I can
say of it what I cannot say of any other
medicine. I have never heard a customer
speak of it but to praise its virtures in
the highest manner I have recommended
it in a great many cases of whooping
cough with the happiest effects. I have
used it in my own family tor years; m
fact always have a bottle in the medicine
closet.

MINE TROUBLE
FATAL RIOTING BETWEEN
WHITE AND 15EACK MIN-
ERS IN MISSOURI.
THREE NEGROES AND ONE WHITE
MAN KILLED MATTERS
AROUND PITTSBURG.
St. Louis December 1. A special to the Post-
Dispatch from Macon Mo. says: There was firing
of pistols and guns between the black and white
miners at Bevier coal mines ail last night but with-
out serious injury to anybody. So far as can be
learned four men have been killed since Saturday
last three negroes and one white man besides
several wounded. There is no abatement of feel-
ing and there is constant lii bility of bloodshed.
The county authorities have done nothing to-
wards suppressing the riotous proceedings.
No militia have yet arrived. The women and
children are being sent away from Bevier. Trouble
is feared to-night.
A meeting of citizens of Macon was held this
afternoon to take measures to restore order.
Three hundred stand of arms arrived this after-
noon and the sheriff is organizing a company.
The negro miners remain inside the 6tockade at the
mine and fire at all white miners who come within
range of their guns. Every man and boy at the
mines who is able to handle a gun is said to be
armed.
THE WHITE FLAG.
PrrrsBURfi December 1. The striking miners of
Monongahela have run up the white flag and no
further trouble of a serious nature is anticipated.
Special telegrams received this morning from a
dozen or more points along the river indicate the
miners do not intend to make another break as
they did last week. The better class of miners cen-
sure severely the action of the hot-heads who
made the attack on the non-union men but they
assert they will still stand out for half a cent per
bushel advance. At Pine Run three mines were in
operation with about 150 men at work. The other
mines are shut down.
AFTER TIIE BURIAL.
TOKENS OF SYMPATHY FROM TIIE
PRESIDENT AND HIS SISTER.
Indianapolis. Ind.. December 1. Col. John M.
Wilson who had charge of the United States sena-
torial party brought with him from Washington
not only a gift of flowers from Miss Cleveland but
aiso an autograph letter from the president to
Mrs. Hendricks. This letter. Mrs. Hendricks
said was one purely of personal condolence and
sympathy and not one that she would care to give
out for publication.
When Mrs. Hendricks returned to her home from
Crown Hill the old homestead residence which
had been left in the charge of a committee of la-
dies was divested of all the memorial floral trib-
utes and other sharp reminders of her erreat sor
row. Grate fires had been lighted and everything
had been done to restore the rooms to their former
homelike appearance. She passed the evening
vnia airs lnornton ner niece; Mr. and Mrs. Mor-
f an her brother and sister-in-law and Mr. and
Irs. Niles of Washington D. C very intimate
friends. Mr. and Mrs. Niles will remain with her
until the latter part of next week when they will
return east.
NO GUARD FOR THE BODY.
Indianapolis December 1. When the arrange-
ments for the interment were being perfected it
was suggested that a military guard should be
placed at the tomb ot Vice-President Hendricks at
least for a time. The directors of Crown Hill
cemetery declared that this would be needless as
their watchmen v. ere efficient aeainst anv possible
vandalism. This view was also taken by the fam-
ily and no special guard was placed.
MRS. HENDRICKS.
Indianapolis. Ind.. December 1. The death of
Vice President Hendricks leaves his widow in one
sense entirely aione so lar as tne possession oi
keeping up of their homestead in this city is con
cerned. It is presumed however that she will for
a time make her home with the family of S. W.
Morgan her brother also a resident here who has
been close to her in her present great bereavement.

For several weeks past considerable in-
terest has been manifested in the clerk-
ship of the supreme court at Austin as it

men of this city and elsewhere were ap-
plicants for the position. Dr. Morse was
