THE TRAGIC EVENTThat Resulted in the Death of Presi¬

dent Lincoln.

MEMORIAL MEETING WHERE HE DIED

The Personal Recollections of the

Only Cabinet Survivor.

THE PROMINENT SPEAKERS

It va» specially fit and proper that thefirst public meeting of the Lincoln Me¬morial Association of the District of Colum¬bia she. il<l be 4ield In the humble privatedwelling. 516 loth street, where the martyr¬ed President breathed his last twenty-nineyears a ?o Saturday. That lamentable eventwas ai proprlately commemorated by theassociation and its friends and well-wishersSaturday evening. Vice President Steven¬son acted as chairman of the meeting Inthe absence of Chief Justice Fuller, orig¬inally selected for that duty, who had goneto New York to attend the funeral of bisfriend. David Dudley Field. The first ad-dress of the evening was made by SecretaryHerbert, who apologized for lack of prep¬aration and then paid an eloquent tributeto Lincoln.

It was a sad day, said the Secretary, forthe whole country when he fell at thehands of a crazy assassin, but saddest ofall for the people of the south. If he hadlived the south would have been recon¬structed on different lines and the recon¬struction acts of 18*>7 and 1808, which keptthe sections apart so long, would neverhave been passed. The time is coming whenall must acknowledge that the reconstruc¬tion policy attempted by Andrew Johnsonwas in reality the policy of Abraham Lin¬coln, but that he was not able to carry itout as Lincoln would have done. "NowhereIn this country," said Air. Herbert, In con¬clusion, "weje the virtues of Abraham Lin¬coln more honestly acknowledged than in,and ty, the people of the south, lie wasIndeed a modt.1 of 'cjharlty to all and maliceto none." "

Mr. John G. Nlcolay read a highly In¬teresting paper on the character of Lin¬coln, which gave evidence of care and deepstudy.Rev. Dr. Hamlin then explained that Mr.

Hugh McCuUoch, (he only' surviving mem¬ber of Lincoln's cabinet, was too feeble tobe with them, but had prepared a paperwhich, owing to his age and feeble health,was the result of a jjreat deal of labor, giv¬ing some recollections of the assassinationof Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Hamlin read it as fol¬lows:"There had been a cabinet meeting at

the presidential mansion on the afternoonof April 14, at which all the members ofthe cabinet were present, except Mr. Se¬ward. his son Frederick taking his place.Mr. Seward had been thrown out of nis car¬riage a few days before and had had hisJaw broken. On his way from the treasuryMr. McCuUoch called on Mr. Seward ar.dfound him doing well. At dinner that dayJudge Carter and Commissioner Doyle In¬quired about the state of the country atthe cabinet meeting. Mr. McCuUoch toldthem the reports were extremely satis¬factory."Gen. Grant had just returned from Ap¬

pomattox, and was present at the cabinetmeeting. He reported that the southernofficers were resigned to the situation andready to go home to attend to their own af¬fairs. so long neglected. It was a beautifulevening After dinner we walked past theWhite House: the shrubbery was In bloom,and Mr. McCuUoch remarked that Mrs.Lincoln would have another four years toenjoy her position in Washington. Mr.McCuUoch was very much fatigued and re¬tired early. A little after 10 o'clock a neigh¬bor knocked at my door, asking me if Iheard the horse that cantered by. She saidthe man on that horse has killed Mr. Sew¬ard and all his family. Mr. McCuUocharose, dressed, and before he left the roomanother knock came. Mr. Walker of theTreasury Department called to him: 'Mr.Lincoln has just been assassinated In Ford'sTheater.'"Mr. McCuiloch said: 'I never saw Mr.

Lincoln so cheerful and happy as on theday of his death.'

Hrntnl AttnrW on Seward."All patriotic people were rejoicing at the

good news from the south. We were livingin the Cass building, now a part of the Ar¬lington Hotel, not more than a stone'sthrow from the house occupied by Mr. Sew¬ard. to which, Mr. McCuUoch said, "I lmme-alately ran." The outside door was open,and I saw no one as I went upstairs andthrough the hall to Mr. Seward's sleepingroom, except Mrs. Frederick Seward, whowas Just entering another room to attendupon her husband, whose skull had beenfractured by a blow from her father-in-law's assailant, whom he had met at thehpad of the stairs and had tried to arrest.As I entered Mr. Seward's room Mrs. Sew¬ard left It, and I was for a minute or twoalone with her father. He had been raisedfrom the floor to the bed, upon which hehad been thrown by his murderer. He layupon his blood-stained bed. with his woundstill bleeding. As I took his hand heopened his eyes and seemed to recognizeme. His wounds were ghastly, but did notseem to be fatal. His breathing was regu¬lar and his pulse was full and strong. Tokeep the bones In place where his Jaw hadbeen fractured an elastic wire bandage hadbeen placed on one side of his face, extend¬ing down to the throat. This bandage pre¬vented at least one of the blows of his pow¬erful assailant from being a death-blow. Itwas aimed at the throat, but the bowieknife, though wielded by a strong hand,was diverted when It struck the bandage,and failed to Inflict a deadly wound."The life of Mr. Seward was. however,saved by his army nurse. George F. Robln-son, who was In attendance upon him. Asthe assassin entered the room and. knife inhand, was rushing toward the bed uponwhich his Intended victim was lying, Robin¬son. although greatly inferior in strength,seized hold of his left arm and preventedhim from using his right arm with fullforce. When Robinson prevented him fromkilling Mr. Sewar^, the assassin turnedupon Mr. Robinson, gave him a staggeringblow, dashed through the hall and down thestairs, and In a moment he was on thehorse which he had left standing on thesidewalk. Some days after he was arrestedin the house of Mrs. Surratt, which he hadentered disguised as a laborer. As soon asa surgeon and one or two friend3 had en¬tered the room, I left It to learn the fate c-fMr. Lincoln.

At Lincoln's Bedside."I had not gone far toward the White

House before I met a number of men, whotold me he was not there. I then ran downthe avenue to F street, down F to 10thstreet, and thence to the theater, aroundwhich a large crowd had gathered, throughwhich I pushed my way to a house oppo¬site the theater, and presently I was at thebedside of the dying President. Mr. Stan-ton. Mr. Weils, Mr. Denison and Mr. Speed,members of the cabinet, were already there.Surgeon General Barnes, Gen. Meigs, Mr.8»mner and a number of other friends ofthe President were also present. The death¬like paleness of Mr. Lincoln's upturned face,his stertorous breathing and the grlef-Htrlcken countenances of the men aroundhim, indicated too clearly, as I entered theroom, that his case was hopeless."All night we stood or sat silent by bis

bedside. Not a word was spoken except byMr. Stanton, who gave directions in under¬tones through messengers, to officers, toguanl the exits from the city to prevent, ifit might be possible, the escape of the as¬sassin. Once only was the Impressivesilence broken, when Mrs. Lincoln came in.and kneeling by the bed and clasping thehand of her unconscious husband, gave ventto her irrepressible grief. In tones thatpierced every heart and brought tears toevery eye. When she was led away, silenceagain prevailed, and continued unbroken un¬til 7 o'clock In the morning, when the deathshade came over his face, and Mr. Lincolnwas at rest.

A Grlrl-Strlfken City."It had been a sleepless night In Washing¬

ton. The theater In .which Mr. Lincoln wasshot was well filled, and consequently therewere hundreds who spread the shockingtidings th.vughout the city. Houses wereall deserted, women as well as men flockedIn the streets, but there was little heard ex¬cept the tramp of feet in the crowded thor-oughfaxes. The feeling was too deep fornoisy expression. But I neel not dwell up¬on a scene which has been frequently de-scribed by other friends. Th« next day.

the Emancipation day.the colored peoplemet each other with a clasp of the hand,and handkerchiefs at the eyes and tearsrolling down the cheeks. Our colored house¬maid wept so she said she could not see to

work- The,r best fr»end was gone."There had been such rejoicing at the

close of the war In every part of the city,speeches being made In the streets and pub¬lic buildings, that many feared there wouldbe some rebel demonstration, even whileMr. Lincoln was at the theater. In manyparts of Washington there was the noise cfpatriotic music and shouts for the Union "

better.We still claim that the 5-piece Rattan Parlor Suite advertised by us at

$17.50 is the best value in this city for the price, notwithstanding that thereare cheaper constructed (smaller) 4-piece suites elsewhere (with the armchair or large arm rocker, worth $4, left out) which are sold for less, butwhich bear no more comparison to ours than peas to beans, and are not atall as near alike as "two peas in a pod.*' Make your own comparisons! Yetwe will sell our 5-piece large Rattan Suites this week for $15.50 each. Onlya few left.Here is another case of "follow my leader." You remember those famous

"Heywood Bros.' No. 5180" large Arm Porch Rockers we advertised at $1.95 ?They are not to be confounded with the "penitentiary-mads rockers" beingoffered about town for a little less money. One of ours is worth two of them.We have again stocked up with the Chamber Suites, with 24X30-inch bev¬

eled glass, at $14.50 and $22.50, and the "Cheval" Chamber Suites from$35 to $25. You can compare these with any elsewhere at $5 more.We still have a few of the Rattan Divans, Arm Rockers, and Side Chairs,

which we shall offer still lower the coming week, as follows: Side Chairs,$1.25; Arm Rockers, $3.50; Large Divan, $5.50. We have a small number ofelegant Chamber Suites which we propose to turn into money the comingweek at the following extraordinarily reduced prices: A $93.50 MagnificentOak Suite for $57.50; an Elegant $77.50 Sycamore Suite for $60; an Elegant$155 White Hahogpny Suite for $110; an Exquisite San Domingo MahoganySuite, marked $200; will sacrifice for $135; a $167 White Maple Suite for$noo; a $147.50 Enamel and Gold Suite for $100.We desire to emphasize the fact that at no time in our history has our stock

been so large and complete, and at no time in the history of the country wasFurniture offered at such low prices, for we purchased when factories wereshutting down and compelled to dispose of their stock at a heavy loss. It isnow impossible for them to start up again except at a profit, hence the pricesmust necessarily be higher.Big advertisements don't always mean big bargains, and we warn you

that you run the chances of paying too much for your furniture unless youbuy it of us. We guarantee both prices and qualities. We ask that youmake your own comparisons.
