Henderson, W. - 1881

Items Of All Sorts.--
W. Henderson, who is stopping at the Lititz Springs Hotel, was in Baltimore when the Presidential funeral train passed through, and states the assemblage placed on the track coins of various denominations, from standard silver dollars to double eagles, for the purpose of keeping them as mementoes of the occasion.  He also states that the people, without regard to political affiliations, hung Guiteau in effigy.
