Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Observances in the City of Worcester For some weeks it had been widely known to the public, through the columns of the press, that, in the fourth month of his newly inaugurated Administration, President Garfield was to leave Washington for the North, on Saturday, July 2, to be absent two weeks. His family joining him from Long Branch, he was to be the guest of Cyrus W. Field, at Irvington-on-the-Hudson, until Monday, July 4, at 10 A.M. On that day he was to leave for Williamstown, Mass., via Troy, and remain at Williamstown until Thursday, on which day he was to depart for St. Albans, Vt., going thence to Bethlehem, N. H.; on his return journey to Washington, visiting Concord, Mass., Worcester, and Lincoln, in which latter place his ancestors lie buried. In Worcester, as in other communities, preparations for the observance of the Anniversary of American Independence had been completed, when suddenly there fell upon the nation an event, the story of which cannot be better told than in the words of the successive news dispatches, which were the transmissions of a single morning, filling the whole country with terror and grief, and carrying, over land and under the sea, the same shock to the peoples of both hemispheres. First Dispatch. Washington, July 2, 9.30 A.M. President Garfield was shot before leaving the city on the limited express this morning, for his intended trip North. He is believed to be dead. Second Dispatch. Washington, 9.30 A.M. President Garfield was shot at the Baltimore and Potomac station. Third Dispatch. Washington, 9.35 A.M. Col. Corbin has just passed, in the President´s carriage, with a physician, on his way to the Baltimore and Potomac station. Fourth Dispatch. Washington, 10 A.M. It is reported that President Garfield is dead, but the excitement is so intense that it is impossible to find out anything definite at present. The man who shot him has been arrested.
