^"'••THE CABLE LETTER,

The Gossip of the Day in Europe Sent by Wire. ^LONDON, August 1.—Although the

"electoral campaign is about to open, both political parties are still in search of ^•definite programme of party action. The A developments of the past week disclosed ^\an immense rupture in the conservative imrty, caused through the discontent of old tories, who constitute the vast bulk of the party. They believe the present conservative leaders have been going too far in their efforts to prdffitiate the Parnellities and secure them as allies. Be11 monstrances have been sent toihe Mar- ^.• quls of Salisbury from nearly all provincial tory election agents. These remonstrances added to the protests of

"J the conservative members of parliament "have been made the subject of cabinet discussion. The result is Chat Lord Randolph Churchill has submitted to party discipline. He agreed to take a humbler public role and has engaged to go before -his angry and disappointed. party ^colleagues in Liverpool and explain to .: them and try to justify his relations with 'the Irish home rulers. He hsjs also consented to go on an elfcclioneering tour "under the direction of the Marquis of

Salisbury. Lord Randolph wasstubborn, fftowever^ and did not surrender unconfditiovially. He has secured the consent t»f his more aged party managers to advocate the conservative policy", which will embrace local self-government, reform and reform in the British land laws. It is true these terms are vary general but may be safely predicted that having committed his party to a general advocacy of ^'local self government'and land law reinform, Lord Randolph will in his own good time secure the adhesion of the young conservatives to a decidedly particular and radical applicatioilpf some of ,Jhis principles. He will then u^e, that is, he will merge his following with that of

ParBoll and Chamberlain, snap his fingers at Lord Salisbury and the "old fogies" and go in for leadership on his own account.

Bad oil' politically as the tories seem to be, the liberals appear to he in a worse condition. They have, it seems, small prospects of securing unity of conduct among their clansmen in the coming elections and smaller prospects still of agreeing on a party cry. Brett, secretary to the Marquis of Hartington, Mr. Gladstone's minister of war, caused more or less political excitement the other day by writing a public letter deploring the lack of party unity among the liberals 1 and insisting Upon the necessity of the 'parly's joining in a formal declaration of 3 policy. It is now said that Brett's action was undertaken with the design of drawing Gladstone out and inducing him to speak but the "grand old man" refused to speak, refuses to formulate a policy for his distracted party despite the constant •. representations of colleagues that it is t:-^e to proclaim the principle on which he means .- to appeal to the new -electorate. Trevelyan, who was the liberal chancellor of the duchy oi

Lancaster, John Morely, and a large number of radicals of their school have outlined a political platform which they urge the liberal party to adopt It demands the dis-establishment of the church in England and Scotland, home rule for Ireland and reform in the feudal land system. The democratic radicals accept this platform but insist on adding to it a demand for a shorter parliament, for v. tW2Holitio pAyment of commons so that poor men can gef there to represent the poor of Great Britain

This week ends the London social season, which has been unusually brilliant. The Princess of .Wales and her three daughters might have been seen nearly every fine day driving in Rotten Row, accompanied by two other royal carriages filled with foreign notables. A society incident that caused quite a ftustet, haphened recently in Rotten Row. The Prince of Wales was driving with his sons when they.. met Mrs". Langtry, who was" also out, And, gossip say. "with knowledge of the coming event.' As soon as his royal highness recognized "Lilly," he left his sons and joined the actress, whd!h he accompanied through the park.

Farquarharson, the defaulting Dublin manager of the Munster bank, wljo ab. SConded has been traced to Leith and it is now supposed he sailed thence to Norwa| where he would be beyond reaci of the extradion laws. Enquiry shpws that he took with him between $50,000 and $75,000 in cash, and negotiable paper. He had before his flight for along time been a heavy loser in speculations on the London stock exchange. At the time of the collapse of the Munster bank he was engaged to be married to a daughter of a rich and well known Dubling brewer. The wedding day was fixed for the end of August. Farquaharson aad purchased for $25,000 a beautiful cottage on LeesOn park and furnished it in gorgeous style. It is now certain that when the crisis came in the affairs of the Munster bank Farquaharson tried to conceal his rascality by forcing liquidation proceedings in the alleged interest of Dublin shareholders. He had filed a

misdeeds perhaps until he made good his deficiencies. The Cork committee of shareholders were suspicious of the Dub lin proceedings and opposed them. .%nqitaharson there upon conided* his game played and ran away. The assistant, whom some months ago he had arrested for the alleged theft of $25,000 from the Dublin branch of the bank, it is now known, is innocent, and was sacrificed to coyer up his superior's robberies.

A QUEER CLIENT

A Practical, Common-Sense Man Suddenly, developing Amazing Freaks. New York Tribune.'

Among the brilliant array of counsel which Colonel Rogers, whose unsettled mental condition recently got him into trouble with a Staten Island hotel-keeper, has called to his relief, was Ira D. War-

The. colonel fancied that a great many people were earnestly engaged in doing him serious' injury, and had intrusted a variety of litigation to Mr. Warren, Clark Bell, Roscoe Conk-, ling, Lucas L. Van Allen and others, In regard to his remarkable phase of dementia, Mr! Warren said: f" "The case of Colonel Rogers is nothing to the extraordinary insanity that befell a client of mine some years ago. He pame, of a fine family and was well known about town. He was quite as much my friend as my client. I knew him and all his family intimately. His affairs had been in my hands nearly twenty years and during all that while I knew him as one of the most practical, common-sense men I had ever met.. Indeed he was-the embodiment of vigorous and robust manhood. "One day he came into my office and told me he had contracted to purchase ten houses. I thought I knew his financial condition almost to a dollar, and I was surprised at the announcement, for I did not see how in the world he could carry it out. He spoke very decisively, however, and as he did not seem disposed to confide his plan to me, I assumed that he had got hold of some money somehow or other, and knew what he was about. He wanted me to search the titles of the property that he intended to buy, and added that the men would be in my office at noon the next day to sign the agreement of purchase. Sure enough, at noon they were on hand, and according to his instructions I drew up the papers for both to sign. Then, to my infinite astonishir -t, lie said he was going to pay $5,0* down on the bargain. '1?jis is absurd,' I said. 'It will take me a week to look up those titles, and these people are strangers to us. What if the titles are not good 'Oh, never mind that,' he answered indifferently 'they're all right. Besides, I have plenty of money lots of it, oceans, more than I know what to do with. Pay up, pay up.' "I knew that this was all nonsense, but

I supposed that he had his reasons for wishing to impress the men with his presumed wealth, so I said no more but reluctantly gave them his check. A day or so afterward he returned and said briskly, 'Warren, do you want to make a fortune?' "'How?' I asked. "I'll let you in to it, he said. 'I have arranged to buy all the lots in Central park from Fifth avenue to Eighth avqnue. up to Seventieth street, and I am 1 I*

going

to erect a building on them thirty

stories high. "I looked at him intently as he made this bewildering proposition. His face was as straight and as serious as if Ire were considering a scheme to buy simple building lot in Harlem. I was forced to believe that he was serious, and consequently, that his mind was disturbed. So I answered that I thought well of his plau, and would see what money I could raise to carry it out. 'But just now,' I added, 'I'm a little short, and should like to borrow a few thousand of you. How much have you onjwnd? 'Half million,' he ans#eitf .as coolly as could be. I knew very yfell what he had and asked him for $10,* This I knew did not leave him ••more than $100 in ca§li. He, gave me 1* ^J.teck and left the office,* and wis five minutes I had it certified »nd

that $10,000, and quickly rose to my feet to prepare for it. "He walked rapidly up to me, grasped mv hand, and pulling me toward him, whispered,' "OJd man lend me $500 till to-morrow T" "I wasn't prepared for that and hardly knew what to say, but reaching into my safe I took out an old check-book, long, since disused, and pointing to a s£ub that showed a balance In bank of less than $100,1 answered, 'Does that look as if I could?"' 'No,' he replied, 'it don't,' and wheeling aroundj'he darted out of the office as suddenly as he had come in." "The picture-seller remained, and 1 asked him what all this meant. He answered that my client had bought a cart load of chromos of him to be sent to his friends. I told him that he had better keep his chrom9s. In a week my client became violentlyinsane, and we removed him to Dr. Baretow's asylum in Flushingj where he died only a week few weeks later. We found that he had been buying jewelry, diamonds, pictures, bronzes, houses and any variety of things, all of which we returned upon slight compromises. My action in obtaining that $10,000 check saved his family from poverty. But what a remarkably case of sudden and inexplicable insanity!"

HIS LEGS SAVED HIM.

Another Sensation in Connection with tbe Sharon-Hill Divorce Case. SAN FBAMCJISGO, Cal., August 1.—The

Sharon divorce case bids fair to have murder added to perjury and other crimed which have sprung from it during the long run in our courts. After Judge Sullivan's decision that Sarah Althea should get alimony and counsel fees, the town could scarcely hold the fair plaintiff, so great was the exultation of Sarah and her lawyers but their triumph was barren, and old Sharon refused to give up any coin, and the

Supreme court one month ago

declared the alimony could not be collected while proceedings were pending. On Wednesday the Supreme court gave its second decision on plaintiff's appeal, ruling that the only thing appealable was the question of the amount, of bond which Sharon gave as security for alimony and counsel fees in the case. The final decision affirmed Judge Sullivan's ruling. Testimony in the appeal •case before Master in Chancery Houghton, has been going on for weeks, but the proceedings are secret. It has leaked out, however, at various times that' the sessions were stormyr-«flarah. Althea frequently displaying her vixenish temper and Judge. Terry, her chief counsel, showing his strong hatred of Kawalsky, a police court shyster who has been hired by Sharon to do dirty work ia the case. To-day this feeling of Terry's came. to e. climax, and when Kowalsly followed him into the :ourt room Terry made a rush for him with a loaded cane. Kowalsky^drew a istol, but fled from the room before Ferry could get his weapon out. As Terry is the noted duelist who shot Broderick, and who has proved his courage and skill with the pistol on many dueling fields, it was perhaps well for Kowaisky that he sought safety in flight. Kowalsky has incurred the wrath of Sarah's partisans by his industry in collecting facts to her discredit and submits ting them as affidavits in court. His own reputation is not spotless, as it was only ew months ago that a woman, who had

rep a ft.. been living with him as his mistress, fired two shots at him at Baldwin'sjhotel. As in the encounter with Judge .Terry, his legs saved'him.

ft Th Pedestrian Express.. Writing 1^*^ Holl/ /a, Robert P. Porter doscribes'Oe of tL«j rambles which the empress of Austria now habitually takes "on foot in lieu of her former equestrian exercises. From Hooi*n to Ymuiden, he says, "is like passing suddenly from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Here are situated the massive sea walls, extending nearly a mile on either side of the coast into the sea and forming the mouth of the artificial harbor, and in this way feeding the famous canal, fifteen miles long, which secured for Amsterdam the advantages of a first-class port. This great work, I am told, cost over 50,000,000 florins, and is well worth a visit. Ymulden* a village of 1,500, built within the last few years on reclaimed land, was all agog on account of a recent visit made by that eccentric woman, the empress of Austria. One day she took it into her head to inspect the sea walls at Ymulden. She bought a pair of wooden thoes, and with a dress that was short enough to reveal considerable of a beautiful pair of legs, she walked the beach from a town seVen miles from Ymuiden. It was not until she threw away the shoes and eave the boatman who rowed her across the harbor two thalers that it dawned upon the Ymulden mind what an important personage had honored the village by a visit.

Said one tall, thin inhabitant of the ilace, who might have b®n a western armer, so far as looks go: "I would have given twenty florins for those shoes. And then added, "She was a fine-looking woman. She tripped alopg the sands as lightly as a girl of 18, and she didn't look older than that if you walked behind her. Such a waist she had. Tall and

ful,

grace­

with a leg and foot any woman might be proud of. The only thing I didn't like about her was her nose that is a little red, and her face is sun-burned Such was the tall Ymuiden man's description of the emperor, of Austria wife. And that man was himself an interesting character to me. He rescued me at the station of this out-of-the-way village of Holland, when I was trying to find out what time the train returned to Amsterdam, and in good English gave me the information. But I was not the first American he had rescued, though ip a very different manner, and this tall man carried in his pocket a beautiful gold watch presented to him by the president of the United States for rescuing from a watery grave some American sailors. "I am prouder," said he, "of this watch than of anything I have,1' as he showed me the ngraved words on it,

THE WEEKLY REVIEW.

A Steadiness in the Trade Xjiat Indicates Improvement.:

NEW YOBK, N-. Y., August 1.—Special telegrams to Bradstreet'e, ^ehile indicating no material change in? the general movement of merchandise, continue to report greater steadiness in^ eastern and other leading dry goods, itool and boot and shoe markets. There are no changes in prices of these commodities, but sales area little more frequent and dealers inclined to be correspondingly cheerful. Tbe cotton goods market-'Sa&ceh slightly stiffened, particularly that for mourning goods, due to the special demand at this time. A number of special makes of the latter are reported to have been exhaiteted.

The supply of raw wools at eastern markets is ample and varied, and while there are no advances in quotations, it is doubtful whether holders would accept figures offered six weeks ago. When these points have been noted there are no others'on which to base expectations of an improvement.

Iron and steel are as dull ag ever. The decreased production nd increased stocks during the past half year are specially significant.

Coal is in no better demand, and the arrangement to take out a large quantity per month during- the next few months encourages buyers to hold off.

Petroleum speculation has lost its snap so far as the hulls are concerned, though the statistical position of the product has remained quite as strongly in favor of higher %ures as heretofore.

Owing to the increase ip the visible supply of wheat the continued absence of interest on the part of exporters and the heavy stocks- in sight, the price of wheat has continued depressed and downward. Yesterday there was a reaction, based on the reported damage to the spring wheat crop in Minnesota and Dakota. A special to Bradstreet's from St Paul states that the weather in the region indicated has greatly favored the bull side of 'the market, as there has been great heat followed by rain and serious damage to the crop. The jnefcure of the injury has not been determined. This has been particularly true in the north. In the southern portion of the region .indicated some damage has been done by chinch-bugs, but there has been little or no rain.

The hog products nlarket has been weak in sympathy with wheat, its only, basis of strength being the decline in receips of hogs and relatively high prices thereof as compared with products.

The demand for grocery staples has been moderate and without any special improvement.

Daiiy products are lowers with restricted demand both for the home trade and for export.

Cotton has been higher, owing to the current manipulations ofthe bulls and August options. In smypathy therewith, spots have been stronger.

The reports from financial centres, east and west, bring no signs Of improvement. Those from Chicago point to a decline in the demand tor money during the week.

LOCAL INDUSTRIAL.

The Wabash Boiling Mill Resumes- Op orations In All Departments*

The Wabash rolling miU, which has been idle for some time, will start up, Monday morning, running full in every department. The bar and guide mills have been turning out a small amount of iron for .several weeks, but the mill proper has not been in operation. This encouraging, as the mill gives employ' ment to a large force of men, and the influence of "the mill resuming will be felt on the business interests of the city. It is also encouraging as it is a strong indication of a better condition of the market. The puddle mill has been idle for about three months. The puddlers go to work at $5 per ton. This is 50 cents per ton less than the price paid before the mill losed down. The suspension was owing to depression in business and not on acaccount of a question of wages. The men realized the demoralized condition of the market and consented to a reduction of 50 cents per ton in the price of puddling. The relations between the company and men have been harmonious and an adjustment of wages was made amicably. It is thought the mill resumes with good prospects for along and continuous run.

Nail Works News.

Recent dispatches from St. Louis announced that Mr. F. Nippert was one of the company which purchased the Valcan Iron works at St. Louis. This has given rise to a rumor that the works in this city is to oe made a branch of the Vulcan works, as it is said the Nail Works company took considerable stock in the reorganized Vulcan Iron Works company. The Vulcan works has a steel plant, and it is surmised that if the above rumor is true, a steel plantwill in time be pu^ in at the ijail ^orks in this city.

The company is still purchasing nails to fill orders for sizes of nails which have run put of stock. It is'said that the demand for nails is somewhat better, and more orders are being received. Upon this the men base their hopes for a resumption of work. However, the company will not resume until the operation of nail mills in Wheeling with feeders in the places of nailers is proved either a sue cess or failure. Should the feeders run the machines satisfactorily, the feeders at the nail works would probably be given places, The Amalgamated association claims that the company has signified its intention of signing the scale should an agreement be reached with the nailers, with whom there is a dispute regarding the scale. It is also asserted that the feeders here would not_ acce^rt

feeders

nailers' position at a reduction.

all in all, the situation is not promising for an early resumption of the works. The impression prevails that the Nailers' and Rollers' union h&s a similar organization to that of the Amalgamated association. This is not exactly trir the Nailers and Rollers' union has a and a number

ident, vice deputies. The Amalgamated has a prr dent and vice president fer each district.

Inquiry at tne hardware stores reveals tbe fact that there is not a very.great demand for steel nails. Buildere generally prefer the iron nails. It was predicted six months ago that by this lime the conflict between the iron and steel nail would have been decided in favor, of one or the other. This was wide of the mark, as no aient advantage has been gained by either since that time.

Other Iron News.

J. A. Parker hss commenced an overhauling of the dummy purchased in Cincinnati by Joseph Blake, which will be used on the Fair Ground street tailway. It will require about three weeks^ to put it in first chtss condition Mr. Parker has secured a contract to supply the city with fifty gas posts. The Phoenix machine works and foundry are busy filling orders. The car fhops are employing quite a large force of men in the machine shops and foundry. The King stove foundry will, in a short time, bexeady lor operation in. .Ahe. new quarters, at Sixth street and Vandalia. railroad.

The Flour Mills.

Tbe production of flour in this csty last week was heavier than that of the previous week. It is thought that the production will continue to increase,, now that new wheat is coming in and the demand shows signs of improvement. The demand has been exceedingly light for months past, and all the milk have been wholly or partially idle during this time. The demand was entirely domestic, anc® there have been no foreign shipments. Some of the millers expect the price of wheat to be such that it will *Uf* importation to foreign markets. Tre Wabash mills received 19,000 bjjsfc^lfl of new wheat last week. The AsgjSue n^ills ran day and night all las^^/ to the^fullest extent of their capacity.

Jenckes & Mering ran. day turn all week, as did Conant-A Son's mill. Paddock & Co's mill was in operation the reater part of the week. McKeen & Jo.'s mill is still idle. Hudnut's hominy mill ran day turn all week, turning out a large product.

Newhart's hominy mill received some new machinery during the week. When all the repairs and improvements are completed, it will be a splendidly equipped mill.

The damage recently done by the explosion at Kidder's mill has been nearly repaired. New plates have been substituted for those broken and the three boilers have otherwise been put in thorough repair. The brick-work has not yet been completed^ but it is expected everything will be in readiness to resume operations by Wednesday morning..

The Pound- Motor.

When it became known that the Pound motor was being built at Frank Prox's plumbing establishment, crowds of perflocked to see *it. This shows the great interest manifested in the contrivance. Visitors became so ..numerous that it was thought best to remove the machine to the Reiman building on Main street. A. gentleman interested in the motor states that it is nearly completed arid that a test will be made some time during this week. The results thus far obtained are satisfactoiy and encouraging. The belief that the motor will be a success seems to be come stronger in the miuds of many of the stockholders. Should it be a success, it is said the first application will be to propel the cars on the street railway.

The McKeen Rifles left yesterday afternoon on the T. H. & L. for Lake Maxinduckee. Yesterday President W. R.

The governor promptly replied granting the reqaest and the boys marched down to the depot with guns and not with wooden ones which were to be substituted since they had not been mustered into the state service. A number of the rifles went tip to the lake in the morninj to make preparations for the'coming o! the company in the evening.

The statement is denied that Adjutant General Koontz stopped at the Terre Haute house and' sent the bill to the McKeen Rifles for payment, which was made when the state pays his expenses. Mr. Koonts asked for his bill and was infoniied that it had been paid. He knew nothing of the payment of it.'

A Card From Captain Gregory, i' To the Editor of the Eizpress. SIB:—I observed in the.Gazette an artldewhich I consider rather reflects discredit upon the Thompson Rifles, wherein the statement is that the action taken by the governor in regard to the calling of the arms now in possession of the McKeen Rifles, was actuated by the influence the Thompson Bifles hare with the adjutant general. Whatever influence onr company may have with that official we do not abuse, but try to use fer the advancement of oar company and not for the detriment of another organization, with whose members we are constantly bronght in daily contact. I defy any member of the MoKeen Bifles to produoe any evidence whereby they are justified in making the statement some of them have made. Personally, I have treated every member with respect, and have offered them on two occasions ammunition and any posts of guns, to replace their broken ones, and my action has always been cheerfully endorsed by all members of the Thompson IlifleB. We have always considered it of the utmost importthat it would be beneficial for all that the McKeeu Bifles would remain in the Legion in order to stimulate and keep alive that friendly rivalry that should exist between all military companies. So far as the adjutant' general is concerned in their case, I consider the McKeen Bifles rathet too premature in attaching all the blame to him. As he has joBt carried out the instructions of the governor, he reported their case, that their term of enlistment had expired and has given them every opportunity to rein list, as the state is not supposed to have the arms out of state arsenals unless in the legally constituted militia. And the governor is not supposed to wait seven months for a military company to arrive at the conclusion whether to enter the state service or not. Governor Gray distinctly says that the arms must be iii the hands of the state militia where he nnn control them, or in the arsenal where they mn be sent to any part of the state that may required in case of riot or any trouble where arms are required in order to protect lives and property. For at the present writing there are but forty-five rifles in the state arsenal. And the quartermaster general has within, the last five days taken* up and shipped to Indianapolis the arms of the Winchester Bifles, Portland

Cavalry and Martinsville Bifles. So the McKeen Bifles are no exception, as the other com"panies did not have any of the Thompson Bifles to inflnence the adjutant general in their cases. In regard to the McKeen Bifles' paying the bill of the adjutant general, that is something our company has always done, not only for the present official, liut also for General Carnahan whenever he visited our company, asthey are allowed no traveling expenses, and when that officer

does

visit a company it gen­

erally results in benefit to the company he is it And, in conclusion, I think the governor aoted in the itatesest of humanity in taking the guns away frdid&hjm, as the members drilled so seldom that they were liable to seriously injure each other in handling the gnns.

I remain yours,

G. H. GKEGOBY,

Captain Thompson Bifles.

THE FUNERAL.

Still Draping the City-The President and His Cabinet. NEW YOBK, N. Y., August 1.—Prepa­

rations for the great military, pageant, which is to be the jprincipal feature of tbe Grant funeral on the 8th intt„ continue with great zeal. With the exception of a vast number of details, which will now take care of themselves, these preparations may be called complete. General Hancock has appointed all his aids, and is occupied during every working hour of the day in receiving and answering applications for places in the line.

The-draping of buildings of all kinds continues to increase in number, extent and variety. Many which were at first put up hastily have been remodeled and elaborately embtf^hed. There is not a building on Broac^Vy without some token of mourning, and the great thoroughfare becomes more and more fripged with each block. The draping of the City Hall, where the hMy is/1" state, was finished to-d«y and is veiy imposing. The building is being girded with electric lights. Six burners of three-thousand candle-power each will illuminate the front while the body of General Grant lies in state, and four others will brighten the rear and eacb of the City Hall. Half a dozen similar lamps will make the lobby as bright as day

A dispatch was received m-behali o| President Cleveland, asking for a poi^, tion in the line. It is intended that the piesident and vice president, with the members of the cabinet, and also ex-pres-idents and-exvice presidents and memberAf their cabinets will be invited by the Grant family to participate. Colonel Fred Grant on the application of General G. Meade, post No. 1, G. A. R., of Philadelphia, that they be allowed the privilege of the closing services, granted the request, but 011 wc appeal of the Rev. Dr. Newman for the same privilege, Col onel Grant and the Rev. Dr..Newman went to General Hancock's rep resentative and stated that it was the wiBh of the family that Dr. Newman be granted his request. The committee from Philadelphia reported the revocation of the order to their post, who feel sore over the change, and have written to General Hancock, asking him to reconsider the matter. The general has referred the whole matter sack to Colonel Fred Grant* As the ceremonies of the G. A. R. immediately precede the religious closing services of the Rev. Dr. Newman, the matter will likely be allowed to remain as at present settled.

General Hancock has notified the exnresidents that President Cleveland desires their presence at the services to which they had been invited. A communication was received from John B. Clark, clerk of the house, of .representatives Stating that twenty senators and fifty members exclusive of the committee wish to know if any provision has been made for them. The senatorial committee sent word that they would meet at the Fifth Avenue hotel on August 8th.

The Embalming Process.

MT. MCGREGOR, August 1.—The leaden hue about General Grant's face yesterday was due largely, the undertakers say, to the unfavorable lights and shadows of the room in which the body lay. Late last tight, while the casket was opened the body gave forth to the sensed no other than favorable conditions. Preparations are being used to remove the dark circles from beneath the ejres.^ The remains have been examined within twelve hours, and the extremities and limbs were found to be fully under the control of the embalming preparations. Undertaker Alerritt believes the body will be preserved in most excellent condition until long after the final leave shall have been taken of it.

Leclere's Portrait.
