One day last week three men •topped to the cashier's window hi the State House, presented pistols at the head of Deputy Bartlett, and took $400 in coin. As they walked away, a detective fired at them, and killed one named James Griffin. Alva McGaire was captured, and the third party escaped. The robbers named had each killed his man, but escaped conviction on the part of self-defense. There are sus­ picions that the affair was a clever job engi­ neered by local detectives solely to secure reputation. The revolver of one of the alleged burglars was fonnd to bs loaded with blank cartridges only, and there are other suspicious circumstances in connec­ tion with the affair. Geoboe Baknhabt, a prominent farmer of the Logansport (Ind.) section, who se­ cured the indictment of two persons foT horse-stealing, confessed at the trial that he had perjured himself for the pur­ pose of revenge, and thit the men were innocent.

ADDITIONAL NEWS. THS following bulletin in regard tb Gen. Grant's health is telegraphed from New York: , There Is no longer doubt that the General's malady has assumed an alarming form. Dr. Douplns thinks there is no reason to expect any improvement of a permanent character. The ereat.damrer lies in ihe loss of strength incident to the difficulty of giving him nourishment which he can retain on his stomach The r tching which food induces aggravates the terrible agony he suffers from his malady. At such times not even cocaine is powerful enough to neutralize the pain. The recent prostration following the reception of the news from Washington, which was neces­ sarily exciting and bracing, indicates how little strength the General has. The disease itself, too, has come to the surface at other points, in­ dicating that it has been progressing rapidly within the past few days. The diseased tissue lies in such a place that the knife can not be used, and there is no hope of prolonging the life of the distinguished ) atient beyond a few weeks. Only a few of the most intimate friends of the family are admitted to the house, and no visitor enters the sick chamber. Representatives Batne, Hiscock, and Millard called upon President Cleveland, at Washington, and had a long talk with him. They told the President ^hey ap- proved the attitnde he had taken in his in­ augural, and in carrying out the policy therein declared he would have their hearty support. In this they spoke as Republi­ cans, and said they believed they spoke for a large majority of their party. The Presi­ dent received their advances in the best possible spirit and thanked them with much feeling and earnestness for their promises. President Cleveland's first official act, after the nomination of his Cabinet, was to affix his signature to the commission of Gen. U. 8. Grant as an officer on the retired list of the army Washington tel­ egram: The figures given by the railroad companies show that the number of visitors here inauguration day was even grea'.cr than before estimated. The two prinsipal railroads. the Baltimore and Potomac, or the Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio, the avenues of travel for the North and West, brought nearly 110,000 persons. If to this great number be added those arriving b the Southern roads and those who came in from the surrounding country by private conveyance, the aggregate will not fall short of 150.000, not including those who have been coming for some weeks. When it is considered that Washington furnishes as many more, 6ome idea may be formed of the enormous multitude that witnessed the great parade. Gen. JoHii a BtiACK, of Danville, 111., went to' Chicago the other day to attend a reunion of his old comrades of the Thirty- aeventh Illinois Volunteers. Shortly after his arrival he received a telegram from Washington rending as follows: The President thinks your official connection with his administrati n will contiibute to his success, and desires me to ascertain if you will assume the duties of Commissioner of Pensions. 1 cordially Join in the request. L. Q. C. LAMAB. After a short consideration the General replied as follows: To L. Q. C. Lamab: I thank President Cleve­ land and yourself. If my appointment will contribute to the success of the administration I will accept the position. Telegraph when I should arrive in Washington. J. C. Black. Mb. Van Wyck introduced the following reso­ lution in the Senate, on the Gth inst., for which he asked immediate consideration, but Mr. Kdmunds objecting, it went over for a day: " Hesolred, That the Secreta y of the Interior be directed to inform the Senate whether pat­ ents have been issued for iandB granted in 1871 to the Mew Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg, popularly known as the * Backbone' Kailroad. If bo, for what numlier of acres; to what corpora­ tion of individuals; whose receipt was taken for it when signed; whether unusual means were used to hasten the preparation an'i exe­ cution of said patents; whether the clerical force employed Worke<l nights and on Sun­ days, so they might be completed before the 4th of March; what day they were ready for the signature of the President; what neces­ sity existed for any special exertion to secure their completion and signature be­ fore the 4th of March, and whether any­ thing was done to protect actual settlers in their right to any such lands; also, whether previous to the 4th of M-rcli anything was done or written in regard to any other unearned land grants, the forfeiture of which had been consid­ ered by the Fortv-eighth Congress." The Sen­ ate then went into executive session, and alt the Cabinet nominations were confirmed with­ out debate or division, and bv the unanimous vote of the-Senate.

Negotiations between the two powers regarding the Af­ ghan frontier have reached a delicate stage. Russia has made such sweeping demands that England cannot accept anything ap- proching them. It is said that the British will occupy Kabool as soon as possible, and the Ameer of Afghanistan has been ordered to have the road cleared from Herat to Pesh­ awar to facilitate the march of the troops. A m dical inspection of every regiment in the British army is now in progress, and tte Devonshire Regiment and Seaforth Highlanders have been ordered to India. Queen Victoria hts taken a hand in the Anglo-Russian complication, and has con­ veyed an intimation to her Cabinet that any Minister who opposes a vig­ orous maintenance of her imperial rights will soon find himself without a portfolio. The Cabinet is fully aroused to the gravity of the aituation and recognizes the fact that England's protectorate in Af­ ghanistan is seriously menaced. • Some NEW YORK Beeves Hogs Wheat--Xo. l White No. 2 Red corn--No. '2 Oats--White Poke--New Mess CHICAGO.

Political complications and Cab­ inet speculations were entirely disregarded, and Only once was the matter referred to at all. That was when Col. Lamont addressed Dan Mantling as "Mr. Secretary of the Treasury," and the latter remarke d that the Colonel was a little too previous. This caused a general laugh at Lainont's expense, and thus all allusion to the coming event was done away with. i>uring the evening Cards were produced, and the four gentlemen enucc-d in a game of pinocle. This is Mr. Cleveland's favorite pastime, and it was continued until after 11 o'clock. The train passed through Philadelphia at 2 o'clock in the morning. Even the station master was una­ ware of the distinguished individuals who occu­ pied the train, and not one curiosity-seeker put in an appearance. ARRIVAL AT WASHINGTON! * the President Declines a Public Reeepttflftt; At 7 o'clock on the morning of March :sd, when the mists of nignt still clung around the Baltimore .te Potomac depot, and but few per­ sons w^re about, the special train bearing tho President elect and his party drew up on the side-track in the depot. The committee of citizens appointed by Chair­ man Corcoran to receive the President elect had been informed by him that he desiied to avoid a public reception, and would prefer to receive a visit from the committee at his hotel. After a delay oi about ten minutes Chairman Berret and Mr. Gait, ofthe inaugural committee, put in an appearanceand were introduced to the Presi­ dent eiect. isome twenty minutes were required to secure carriages, and it was 7:5U before the party disembarked. Meanwhile the news of the arrival Of the partv had spread, and a crowd had gathered around tho Pullman car Alaranon and stared hard at the Pre-ident elect, who bore the scrutinvwith equanimity. When tae carriages arrived the party alighted and pro­ ceeded through the ladies' wuiting-room to the north entrance, the President-elect leading, with Chairman Berret. He wore a blue over­ coat and silk Jiat, aud did not appear to be at all fatigued .tn^ls nights journey. Carriages were talnte, anff -ttte party proceeded to the Arlington, where a hasty toilet was made aud breakfast served. The Committee of Arrangements for the in­ auguration--Senators Sherman, Hawley, and Kansom--called at the Arlington at 2:30 and in­ formed the President elect as to the plans for the inauguration, a id presented him with the Oiticial programme. In the afternoon the sub-committee appointed by the inauguration general reception commit­ tee to welcome the President e;ect called oi: him by appointment. Their Chairman, Hon."'Rich­ ard T. Merrick, alter introducing his fellow members, expressed their welcome in a few well-chosen words, and <iov. Cleveland felici­ tously returned his acknowledgments. Informal conversation ensued for some time, aud the oommittee then individually took their leave. Mr. Arthur invited Mr. Cleveland to dine with him during the evening, but ttie latter seems to have preferred to wait until he was master of the White House, and had power to bowstring the cook and bastinado the waiters before din­ ing in the Executive Mansion, for he excused himself, and d.ned with bis own party in his own dinini; room. During the evening Mr. Cleveland received many callers. President Arthur being among the number. Mr. Hendricks also received a large number of callers at his rooms during the day. DECORATIONS. The City Puts On Its Gayest Attire. A Washington correspondent says the city has j not looked so gay in twenty years. "I'emiKyl- vania avenue is in full dress. From the Capitol to the Washington Monument, at Twenty-third street almost every building is deco ated, and from the Capitol to the Treasury both sides of Pennsylvania avenue are ablaze with red, white, and blue. In the decoration of the government buildings there has oeen no uniform policy. The new department building shows no orna­ mentation. On the Treasury, long lines of signal flags are drawn from points on the roof to the tops of the flag- staffs on the north and east fronts of the building, and the large pillars in the center Of the cast trout, past which the procession will march, are wrapped with flags and streamers. Across the;way, the Riggs House is covered with Hags. The Quartermaster tieneral's olt ce is a live-story building at tne corner where tho pro­ cession will wheel from Pennsylvania avenue into Filteeuth street. That build up is almost hiuden by tne nags. Long lines of nunai tlags stretcn downward and outward trom the sum­ mit of t'.ie tlugstatT. The national flag is draped ever every window of the building.

PresidentArthnr breakfasted with his family at the White House about 9 o'clock. No one whs admitted to the house to disturb hi* privacy except Senators Sherman, Hansom, and Hawley, of the Senate Committee ot Arrange- rnento. 1 hey had a short interview with the President, and soon after Senator Hawiev left, Willfcrd's Hotel, where he was joined by Vice President-elect Hendricks, and the two proceeded to the White House. They occupied a handsome open barouche, lined with crimson satin and drawn bv four beautiful white horses. The Vice President was heartily cheered all along the shore ride to the White House. Just as he was entering the grounds President Arthurs carriage, containing Senators Hherman and tfansom, started to the Arlington for the President-elect, The carriage was also an open barouche, it was drawn by four spanking bays from the Presidents stables. ihe seats were covered with soft, heavy black and white buffalo robes. The Senatorial Committee were ushered into the pres­ ence of the President elect immediately on arrival at the Arlington, and after a short delay the three gentlemen appeared at the south entianc ; of the hotel, took their saats in 1 he carriage, and were rapidly driven to the White House, where they joined President Arthur, Vice President Hendricks, and Senator Hawiev. Marshal Mc- Mlchael met the party at the Whita House por­ tico and tsco ted the President-elect into the presence of the President. The President-elect was greeted with cheers and waving of handkerchiefs as ho drove along Sixteenth street from the hotel. He kept his hat raised in recognition of the compliment. THE PKOCESSIOH. a *= An Ovation All Along the'Line. It was precisely at tho hour set, 10:30 o'clock, that the Presidential party cntored their car­ riages at the White Home anrl took the posit on assigned them in the line Tha partv entered their carriages as follows: In President Arthur's carriage -President Arthur with President-elest Cleveland on his left; Senator Sherman facing President Arthur; Senator Ransom on his right, facing the President-rlect. The second ca: riage contained the Vice President-elect, with Sen­ ator Hawley on his left. As the» carriage drove out of the gate and entered the line the occupants were greeted with the wildest enthu­ siasm; men shouting, women screaming and waving their handkercbiecs, and ail seemed carried away with the excitement of the mo­ ment. The Pies dent elect and Vice President elect came in for the principal share of the enthusiasm, and ea h of them raised his hat and bowed right and left to the crowd, which lined both sides of th^ carriage-way. The first division of the procession, escorting the Presi­ dent elect, then began its march to the Capitol. The scenes on Pennsylvania avenue almost baffled description. A great surging ma-s hid the sMewiriMtk Above, the stately buildings were Coined Mil cloths of gorgeous colors, ar­ ranged In patriotic devii es. The tJhlted States regular troops came first, thus departing somewhat from tho order of the orogramme, with the probable object of insuring a clear marching spac >. Their ranks extended cle r across the avenue aud pre­ sented a most imposing appearance. The limited States Marino Corps, with its magnifi­ cent band, followed the artillery battalions, and this section of the procession proofed od as far as the south front of the Treasury De­ partment and then halted and came to parade rest in order to atford an op­ portunity for the Presidential party to fall in line when the murcli was resumed. The Presi­ dent's elegant carriage was preceded by (Jen. Slocum, the Chief Marshal, and his staff ana a troop of Unitid States cavalry. Surrounding the carriages were a do:en mounted policemen. 'J'he party received au ovation all along the line of march: men cheered, women waved their handkerchiefs and clapped their hands and the greatest enthusiasm was evinced by the im­ mense throng. President-elect Cleveland kept his silk hat in his band and bowed to the right and left as the carriage rolled slowly along. The same reception was accorded to th3 Vice Presi­ dent elect, whose carriage tollowed. Next came the National Democratic Committee and the In­ augural committee in carriages, tollowed by the District milita headed by the Washington Light Artillery. ' - IN THE SENATE. Vice President Hendricks Inducted . late Office. A little beforell o'clock the doors of the Presi­ dent's gallery, in the Senate Chamber, were opened, and tne people entitled to admission were escorted in. Among the eaely arrivals upon the floor were Senators-eiect Payne and Lvarts, who were warmly greeted by a dozen or more acquaintances as they came in at the main door of the hall. An elegant floral ladder orna­ mented the desk of Senator Garland. The only events of the early proceedings which were not upon the programme were the out­ breaks of applause which greeted the an- anuouncement of the passage of the Grant re- ment bill, and the reception of the President's message nominating Gen. Grant to the newly created vacancy. The applause, which was hearty and prolonged, was not suppressed by. Mr. Kdmunds. Just before the entry of the members of the Supreme Court, arrayed in their ample black silk gowns aud preceded by their marshal, the annual act of turning back the hands < f the Senate clock w.is performed by the veteran door-k eper, Capt. Isaac Ba-sett. The Supreme Court Justices were placed upon the right in front of the chair. President Arthur was now announced, and his coming was greet­ ed with warm clapping of hands, in recognition ot which he bowed gracefully to the assem­ blage. A moment later and the buzz of conversation was auain suspende 1 in anticipation of tha an­ nouncement that the President elect of the United St ites, Mr. Cleveland, had already en- te od the hall with hts escort and halted w ttun sight of the assemblage, white his arrival was being announced. Applause, clapping of hands at first un I theu cheers, lond and prolonged, welcomed him. The Vice President elect was now escorted into the cliamb r, and without delay,but with a solemnity and d corum befitting the occasion, the oath was administered to him by the Presi­ dent put tempore. Senator Edmunds now turnsd to the front and said: "Senators, we ara now close upon another epoch iu t he course of the republic nnder the Constitution. This brief period o" our national existence has, by exertion, co ordinate forces, national, and State systems, brought the experi­ ment of a free, soc.a!, and ] olitical government to an established and secure triumph.

The stand on which the President was to de­ liver his inaugural address was erected almost on a level with the floors of the Senate and the House and directly in front of the middle en- tranc3 to the CanitoL It was about one hundred feet square, the largest ever before erected for . inauguration, and was covered by 2,ooo chairs. These were oocupied by Senators, members of tte Diplomatic Corps, and Judges of the Snprenm Court, members of the House of Representatives, and press repre­ sentatives. Before the President lett th - Senate chamber the crowd in front of the stand had increased until it became one s ilid mass of hu­ manity *uo feet in front of the stand, and more than loo on either side. The crowd continued less solidly in the rear of this multitude. The trees in the great lawns were filled and the roofs of the surrounding dwellings were covered. On the roof of the Capitol some 2uo or wo men and boys had congregated. In approaching avenues and streets the military companies and society organizations were massed in col­ umns, forming a brilliant vista as far as the eye could reach. On elevated stands enterprising photographers had placed their instruments to perpetuate in photographic designs the as­ sembly on the stand, and the sea of hat* and faces that moved continually like waves of the ocean. This immense throng was variously esti­ mated as to numbers. 1 "resident Arthur subse­ quently said it waa "simply immense; the great­ est crowd he ever saw." Senator Hawley, as he loake i at it, said he thought it numbered about 150,000 people. Precisely at 12:30 the head of the procession appeared, coming out of the main east door of the Capitol. President Arthur stepped to the front of the platform, followed bv the President elect, Chief Justice Watte, and the Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senate. All uncovered as they stood facing the crowd, and the vast assemblage cheered agafa and again for several minutes. When the persons who were to assist at the ceremonies were seated on the platform. President-elect Cleveland began his inaugural address. He was clad in a full suit of black. Prince Albert coat, high, old-lashtoned standing collar and black tie. In speaking he held his left hand closed behind him, and emphasized his speech by gestures with his right hand. He spuke with­ out manuscript, huG occasionally consulted a small piece of paper bearing notes of the heads of his discourse. His voice \tas clear and reso­ nant, and he slowly enunciated his words and occasionally turned about at pauses, as if to note the cfiect of his remarks. INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Text of the Document as Delivered by the President. Following is the inaugural address delivered by President Cleveland: Fellow Citizens: In tho presence ot this vast assemblage of my countrymen, I am about to supplement and seal by the oath which I shall take the manifestation of the will of a great and free people. In the exercise of their power and right of self-government they have committed to tne of the j fellow citizens a su­ preme and saared trust; and ho here conse­ crates himself to their service. This impressive ceremoi y adds little to the solemn sense ot re­ sponsibility with woich l contemplate the dutv 1 owe to all tlje people of the land, i othinir can relieve me from an viety, lest by any act of mine their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my resolution to cngaue every laculty and etloit in the promotion ot their welfare. Amid the din of party strlie the peo­ ple's choice was mad.*: but its attendant cir­ cumstances hitve demonstrated a new strength and safety of the government, by the people. In each succeeding ye tr it more' clearly appears that our democratic principle needs no apology, and that in its fearless and faithful application is to be found the srnest guaranty of good gov­ ernment. But the best results in the operation of a gov­ ernment wherein every citizen has a share largely depend npon the proper limitation of purely partisan zeal and eflort. and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen. To-day, the executive branch of the Government is transferred to new keeping. But this is still the Government of all tha peo­ ple, and it should be none the less an object of their affectionate solicitude. At this hour, the animosities of political strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat, an 1 the exultation of partisan triuiniili. should be supplanted by ungrudging acquiescence iu the the popular w*ll, and sober, conscientious concern for the general weal. Moreover, if from this hour we cheerfully and lionesily abandon all scctional prejudice and distrust, »nd determine, with manly confidence in one another, to work out harmoniously the achievements of our national destiny, we shall deserve to realize all the benefits which our hap­ py form ot' government can bestow. On this auspicious occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to the Constitution, which, launched bv the founders of the repub­ lic, and consecrated by their prayers and patri­ otic devotion, has for almost a century borne the hopes and aspirations of a great people, through prosperity and peace, through the shocks of foreign conflicts and the perils of do­ mestic strife and vicissitudes. By the Father of His Country our Constitution was com­ mended lor adoption as ' the result of a spirit of amity and mutual concession." In that same spirit it should h • administered, in order to promote the lasting welfare of the countiy, and to secure the lull measure of Its priceless benefits to us «and to those who will succeed to the blessings of our national life. The large variety of diverse and competing interests subject to Federal con­ trol, persistently seeking the recognition of their cla ms, need give us no lear that "the great­ est good to the greatest number" will tail to be accomplished if, in the halls of national legislation, that spirit of amity and mutual con­ cession shall prevail in which the Constitution had its birth. If this involves the surrender or t>ostponement of pri\ ate interests and the aban­ donment of local advantages, compensation will be found in the assurance that thus the common welfare is suls rved and the general welfare advanced. Iu the discharge of my official duty I shall en­ deavor to be guided by a just and unstrained construction of the Constitution, a careful ob­ servance of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people, and by a cautious appreciation of those functions which, by the Constitution and laws, have been espe­ cially assigned t-> the executive branch of the Government. But he who takes the oath to-dav to preserve, protect.and defend the Constitution of the United States only assumes the solemn obligation1 which every patriotic citizen on the farm, in phe workshop, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him. The Constitution which pre­ scribes this oath, my countrymen. is yours; the Government you have chosen him to administer for a time is yours; the suffrage which executes the will of freemen is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meeting to the State Capitols and the National Capitol, is yours. Your every voter, as surely as your Chief Magis­ trate, under the same high sanction, though in a differ ut sphere, exercises a public trust. Nor is%his all. Kvery citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of Its public servants and « fair and reasonable estimate of their fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the peo­ ple's will impressed upon rhe whole framework of our civil polity--municipal. State, and Federal --and this Is. the price of onr liberty and the inspiration of our faith in-the republic. It is the duty of those serving the people In public plac • to closely limit the public expen­ ditures to the actual needs of the Government, economically administered, because this bounds* the right of tflto Govenimmt to e*»ct tribute from the earnings of labor or the property of the citizen, and because public extravagance . begets extiavagance among the people. We should never be ashamed at the simplicity and prudential economies which are best.snited to the ope ation of a republican form of govern­ ment, and ni st compatible with the mission of the American people, 'lhose who are selected for a limited time to manage public affairs are still of the people, and may do much by their example to encourage, con­ sistently with the dignity of their official func­ tions. that plain way of life wh;cli among their fellow-citizens adds inte/iity and piomotes thrift aud prosperity. The cenius of our insti­ tutions, the needs or our people in their home life, and the attention which is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any dejiarture from that foreign policy commended bv the history, the tradl- tio , and the prosperity of our republic. It is the policy of independence, favored by our po­ sition and defended by our known love of Jus- , tice and by our power. It is the policy of ( peaoe suitable to our interests. It is the i olicy of neutrality, rejecting anv snare in foreign broils and umi itions upen other continents, and repelling their intrusion here. It Is the policy of Monroe and Washington anl Jefferson --" Peace, commerce, and hon st friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with : aad.nftiMwfi"' The qoascteaoe of the peotSs diMU Vttnitt our 'ahal!

Our citlzemrhave the right to protection from the incompetency of public employes who hold their places solely as the re­ ward of partisan service, and from the corruDt- rng influence of those who promise, and the vicious methods of those who expect, euch • re­ wards; and those who worthily sejk public em­ ployment have the right to Insist that merit and competency shall be recognized, instead of party subserviency or the surrender of honest politi­ cal belief, in the administration of a Govern­ ment pledged to do equal and exact justice to all men. There should be no pretext for anxiety touch­ ing the protection of the freedmen in rights or their security in tueenjoyment of their privileges under the Constitution and its-amend­ ments. All discussion as to their fitness for the. place accorded th;m as American citizens is idle and unprofitable, except as i: suggests the necessity for their improvement. The fact that they are citizens entitles them to all the rights due to that relation, and charges them with alt its duties, obligations and responsibilities. These topics and the constant and ever -vary­ ing wants of an active and enterprising popula­ tion may well receive the at ention and patriotic endeavor of a l who make and execute the Fed­ eral laws. Our duties ara practical, and call for industrious application, an intelligent percep­ tion of the claims of public office, and, above all, a firm determination i>y united action to secure to all the people of the land the lull ben­ efits of the best form of government ever vouchsafed to man. And let us not trust to human effort alone, but humbly acknowledge the power and goodness ot the Altnlghtv God wno presides over tha destiny of nations, and who has at alt times been revealed in our coun­ try s history. Let us invoke His aid and His blessing upon our labors. ' THE OATH OF OFFICK. ' « A* Impressive Ceremony in Wtilcll • MucIi-I.ov«mI Bible Is Used. Less than twenty minutes wer j consumed in the delivery of the address. At its conclusion Mr. Cleveland turned to Chief Justice Watte, and, bowing to him, said: "I am now prepared to take the oath pre­ scribed by law. As the Chief Justice arose to administer the oath the vast assemblage cheered again and again. The President elect stood facing the Chief Justice, with the crowd qn his rUht. Chief C.erk McKenney, of the Supreme Court, stood just to one side ot Cleveland and held the Bible upon which the oath was administered, the President elect also holding it with his right hand. The Bible used is a small moroc­ co-covered gilt-edged volume, pretty well worn. It is the Bible which Cleveland's mother gave him when he left home as a youiv-r man. and at his special request the Committee of Arrange­ ments had it in readiness for the ceremony. The crowd preserved perfect quiet as the Im­ pressive ceremony of administering the oath was taking place, but when it was concluded, and as President Cleveland laid down the Bible, after reverently kissing it, and sli ok hands with the Chief Justice, who was the lirst to con­ gratulate him, thev cheercd loudly and long. Ex-President. Arthur was the second man to congratulate the President, and then followed Chief Clerk McKenney and Senator Sherman. President ( leveland was then introduced to the remaining Judges of the Supreme Courts to Lieut. Gen. Sheridan and Gen. Hancock. The other perso a on the platform the i pressed for­ ward, and many of them shook his hand. As he re-entered the Capitol, he was again greeted with cheers. He walked to the biseicent en- t ance, wher? he first came into the building, and ente ed his carriage to be driven in the pro cession to the White House. REVIEWING T1IK 1'ACJEAjnP. Description of tlie Parade as It Passed the White House Stand. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested all aloug the rcut>. When the head of the line reached Fifteenth street a halt was made and the carrag3 containing the President and ex- President left the line and proceeded by way of the executive avenue ti> the White House. The entire party pro.ejded to the reviewing stand on Pennsylvania avenue, directly in front of the mansion. Among those who occupied seats were: Secretaries Frelinghuysen, AlcCulloch, Lincoln, Chandler, and Teller, Postmaster- General Hatton. Lieut. Gen. Sheridan Mai. Gen. Hancock, Daniel Manning, of New York, Mr. Endicott, of Massachusetts, Senators Bayard and Garland, CoL Lamont, Mayer Grace and ex-Mayor Cooper, of New V'orK, and a laroe number of other prominent persons, including many ofhceis of the army aud navy and the Diplomatic Corps. There were 2,<x;o per­ sons on the s and, including many ladies, whose rich costuities added to the brilliancy of the scene. The review was a grand sight; it was the gen­ erally expressed opinion that no more brilliant pageant was ever witnessed iu this country. All the organizations gave a inarching salute as they passed the grand stand. The number of men who marched past the grand stand is esti­ mated at 25.IHM). As the Ccok County Demo­ cratic Club passed it saluted the President by waving hankerchier's. At the conclusion of the review the President and party ) roceeded to the dining-room of the White House, where they partook of a lunch ordered for them by ex-President Arthur. There were present, besides the m- mbers Of ex-President Arthur's Cabinet, Mr. Vilas, Mr. Manning, Mr. Lamont, and several others. The celebration of the day ended with a dis­ play ot fireworks, which in volume and variety is said to have excelled any former pyrotechni- cal exhibition upon this continent. THE INAUGURAL BAIA. A Brilliant Finale to the Day's CeremonM* . The ball in the evening was held in the unfin­ ished new Pension Building, an immense struct­ ure inclosing a rectangular court-yard more than Huo feet long by over loo feet in length. As the door opened on the inter.or, the eye was dazzled by the sudden blaze ot light and color. On the acre of waxed fioir in the hall several thousand couples In brilliant toile s were moving about In the mazes of the dance, while thousands more circled around on the outskirts m cease­ less promenade, and other thousands looked down upon them from the surronnding baloo- nies. The aecorations covered the whole interior with the exception of the roof, and this was almost hidden from view by a network of streamers, flags and bunting, rianks of tropical plants surrounded the bases of the eight large columns which support the root, and wreaths of evergreens were twined around the columns from the base to the dome. At the east end of the hall an immense plate- glass mirror, 16x10, with bevel edires three inches wide, and a frame composed of pieces of cut- glass, rose from the masses of palms .ind nowers Rtfamsi a background of deep crimson, and re- fiected from its surface the lights and colors of the ball-ioom. It was 10:30 o'clock when President Cleveland arrived at the ball-room. He was immediately escorted to the President's room, where for half an hour he held an Informal reception. Abont the same time ex-President Arthur arrived, and he, too, was Escorted to the President's room. When Vice President Hendricks joined the President there was a larire and dist inguished gathering present, including pcrsous of the most diverse shades of political oi inions. There was no tormal reception by 1 resident Cleveland, but a large number of persons • pressed abont bim, and some of the gerttlemen standing in his immediate vicinity made pres­ entations . At 11:30 the President and party left the building, and Vice President Hendricks and his party also retired. The dancing continued un­ til a very late hour.
