Tribute of Respect to the Demi Statesman.
Yonkers. New York, August 7.—The
day opened with a heavy, damp cloud
brooding over Greystone, where t lie body
of the dead statesman was lying in its fii- ,
neral robes awaiting burial, in this city
the public buildings were closed, and em
blems of mourning displayed on almost
every house. The early trains brought j
large crowds to attend the obsequies, and
the roads leading to the late home of the !
deceased were thronghed with mourners,
among whom were many notable citizens.
Long before the services were began the 1
house and spacious grounds of Greystone
were filled to overflowing. Early in
the morning the casket arrived "ana
the body was reverently placed therein
and removed from the room in the second
story in which it was first placed, to the
blue room on the first floor. This was not
accomplished until 8 o’clock, and it was
not until that hour that the general public
were admitted to the mansion. The re- 1
mains were placed on a catafalque in the
center of the room. The drapery of the !
catafalque was black crape and cashmere, 1
and the entire room was draped in sable, j
By this time the friends of the family
had begun to arrive. The first train from
New York to bring any number was at 7.05, 1
but from that time on the people came by
scores. Among the first to arrive at the
house were Gen. Alexander Hamilton,
Charles A. Dana, Daniel Magone, John B.
Trevor, ex-Senutor William H. Barnum,
Samuel J. Randall, Treasurer Jordan, ex-
Collector Murphy and ox-Assemblvman
Morrow. Andrew H. Green received all
and ushered them into the parlor. When
the people generally were admitted to
view the remains they entered the east
door, passed through the first parlor on
the right to the blue room, and thence
through the hall to the west, or near the
entrance. The body was seen to be attired
in a full dress suit with a white pink in the
button hole. A white tie surrounded a
standing collar. The right hand was
crossed over the breast and the head lay
partly on the right side. The features,
while showing some emaciation, did not
suggest that the dead man had undergone
any extended or considerable physical suf
fering. Among those who passed in tiie
long line to take a last look at the remains
were Surveyor Beattie, Algernon S. Sulli
van, Congressman Lefevre, of Ohio,
Congressman Stahlnecker, of this
district, E. O. Ferine, clerk of the j
court of appeals, Park Commissioner John
D. Cummins, John D. Troppageu, John 1
Bigelow, Smith M. Weed, Dr. George L.
Miller of the Omaha Republican, William
Allen Butler, Dr. Charles E. Simmons and
Col. John S. Fellows.
There were only two floral pieces on the
coffin. A bouquet of calla lilies and white
roses lay near the head of the casket, and
at the front was placed a sheaf of flowers
under the smilax and Victoria regiua. All
tbe flowers came from Mr. Tilaen’s hot
houses. The Victoria regina came from a
plant of which there are but three in
America;
By 9 o’clock several hundred persons of
both sexes, white and black. Christian and
Jew, rich and poor, had viewed the re-
mai ns.
The pall bearers were Samuel J. Ran
dall, John Bigelow, Daniel Manning.
Smith M. Weed, Charles A. Dana, Dr.
George L. Miller. William Alien Butler,
Daniel Magone, J. B. Trevor, Dr. Cdaries
E. Simmons and Aaron J. Vanderpool.
The first formal delegation to_ arrive
was from the Jeffersonian Club, of Newark.
N. J. Soon after them Mayor Bell, of
Yonkers, and the Yonkers aldermen
passed through, and then ten servants,
five men and five women, paid their last
tribute. The women without exception
shed tears as they gazed for the last time
upon their late master.
At 9:40 o’clock President Cleveland
reached the mansion. He wav accompa
nied by Secretary of War Eudicott and
private secretary Laniont. George W.
Smith, Tilden’s private secretary, took the
president’s arm and found a place in the
line of citizens. Secretary Eudicott fol
lowed with Laniont. On reaching the
head of the bier the president stopped .»
moment or two and took an earnest look
at tbe face of the dead, passed on into the
hall and was escorted to where the family
were assembled upstairs. So, also, were
Endicott and Lament. Ten minutes
later the pall-bearers descended the broad
staircase in the center of the house that
led directly to the room where the remains
were. Secretary Manning, leaning on Mr.
John Bigelow, led the pall-bearers. Man
ning seemed rather feeble, his steps being
by no means sure as he came down the
stairs. Bigelow’s assistance was by no means
unnecessary. Delegations from various bod
ies followed the pall-bearers and took seats
in the blue room adjoining the parlors.
These were from the bar association,
headed by Hon. William M. Evarts, the
Ne\v York board of aldermen, Tammany
hall, Irving hall, County democracy, and
several other organizations. President
Cleveland entered the room with Secretary
Endicott, Secretary Whitney and .Lament
following. Next came the members of the
family, Tilden’s nephews and neices.
Governor Hill arrived just as tbe cere
monies were beginning. He was seated
next to Mayor Grace. Hundreds of people
collected in the hall, on the other side of
the black drapery that hung in front of
the blue room, blocked up the entire
passage and extended out on the porches
and grounds in front and at the rear of the
house. , .
Then Rev. Dr. William J. Tucker, who
had come from Andover, Mass., to perform
the ceremonies, read the funeral prayer oi
the Presbyterian church. The choir of
the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church,
which had taken up a position at the foot
of the main staircase sang, “Abide with
Me.”
Rev. Dr. Tucker next delivered a snort
address on the personal qualities of the de
ceased. The reverend gentleman spoke
with great feeling that several times
evinced itself in choking his utterance.
He said he would iiot attempt to speak or
Mr. .Tildeu’s public life and great public
qualities. The press had done that with
judgment and amplitude, but he could not
help thinking of once referring to rilden s
generous hospitality. None who had
partaken of it would fail to
appreciate. Dr. Tucker continued:
“A friend wrote to me not
long ago, referring to the death of an emi
nent physician, that nothing was so plain
in an attempt to give the meaning of death
as that we suddenly cease to communicate
with those who have been all in all to us.
Death is the withdrawal of affection and
love in the time that we need it. It is an
irreparable waste. A great mind cannot
he replaced. What the mind grasped froni
the books from which it learned and the
facts embraced will remain, but the pi'»-
cess of the reasoning power to fore
see and appreciate, is gone. H
{s like tbe destruction of a fine
library or the loss of a precious jewel,
rtw men have been of such greatness oi
mind in this generation as our deceased
brother. Whether he eonsil* :vd men or
plans, he was always wis . -sagacious and
honorable, whom all lo.e i to listen to and
to honor. There was a fine constructive-
ness of ideas in his reasoning that made
his great mind. The great light is out.
That is the meaning of death. Some
thing is wasted. Does death mean 1
any more than an interrup
tion of his communication with us?
No; according to his simple faith this
mortal must put on immortality. There
arc obligations to live again, as there are '
to die. He was a simple, broad, clear bj-
1U ver in our faith, in that faith we sur- •
render our death. Eternal is the refuge.’’ '
After this .address Miss Antonio Hcnn
sang very effectively “One Swectlv Soh mn
Thought,” and Dr. Tucker made’ another
brief sketch. The choir sang “Beyond the i
Smiling and the Weeping.” and i Lie casket
was closed.
The body was borne out to the hearse at
10:50 o'clock and carried to the train for 1
New Lebanon. The president, governor,
mayor, cabinet officers and delegations ;
followed with the pall bearers in twenty-
five carriages. As the casket was borne !
through the marble floored ball the choir
sang “ Rock of Ages.” Eight of Mr. Til-
den’s employes carried the body. Among
them were the* captain oftlie yacht Viking,
the gardener, the valet and the coachman
of the dead statesman. The president and
his secretary, Governor Hill, Mayor Grace ;
and delegations followed the casket incur- !
riages, but neither boarded the funeral
train. Along the three mile route to j
Yonkers the side of the road was alive !
with people.
Just as the cortege started from the
house a brisk rain set in. but that did not
drive the spectators from the paths.
Many sought shelter under the trees and
awning, some raised their umbrellas and
some remained uncovert d. When the
hearts passed between the crowds, hats
were raised and other signs of respect
were continuously shown. When the
depot was reached the members of the
family, Misses Tilden.. Mis« Gould. Messrs.
Tilden and Chas. F. Maclean, with their
intimate friends, Rev. Dr. Tucker and sev
eral of the* delegations, entered the cars.
The train left Yonkers at 11:15, three min
utes behind time.
It is unsettled whether or not the will
will be read to-night. It is rumored, how
ever, that it will be read at the old family
homestead at New Lebanon.
Among the eminent persons present at
the funeral, not named above, were Con
gressmen Merriman, Hewitt and Campbell.

Sptcial to Enquirer-Sun
Atlanta. Ga., .August 7.—Only one
county has sent in its digest to-day, and
that one is not encouraging. Pike adds to
the number of counties, but decreases the
total gain over last year by §104,478. The
returns of Pickens county have caused
some comment. The large investments in
that county by the Georgia Midland com
pany were expected to make a material in
crease in this year’s returns, but there is a
falling off of §2289. The fact that the mar
ble company ha- invested over §200,000 in
the county," and returns its property at
only §20,0(30 is also an occasion of com
ment.

Atlanta, August 7.—Adjutant General
Stephens has received notice of the organ
ization of two military companies. Ttie
Greene Rifles, of Greeni county, were a
gallant company from that section who
did splendid service m the late war. The
company has just been reorganized, and
John Hart elected captain. In Gainesville,
the Gainesville Volunteers have been or
ganized. and John T. Holenmn elected cap-
tian. Commissions will not be issued to
these gentlemen until tin* companies have ,
been uniformed and equipped for service.

• RENEWED RTOTING IN BELFAST.
Belfast, August 7.--A riot took place
this morning between the nmngcmen em
ployed in Queen’s Island ship-yard and |
the Catholic navies employed by the har
bor commissioners. The lighting was very
i severe for a time, and resembled in char-
! acter that which occurred between the
same elements on the 4th of June, when
the orangemen, greatly outnumbering the
j navies, overpowered and beat, and drove
them into the water, where one was
| drowned. A. number of men on both sides
j were so badly injured in to-day’s fighting
I that they had to be removed to
1 hospitals. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chief
secretary for Ireland, has written to Mayor
j Harlana, of Belfast, saying that the lords’
j justices are seriously concerned about the
condition of affairs in Belfast and con
sider it imperative that the most energetic
| measures be taken to termi-
| nate the disorders which are
bringing discredit and disgrace
I upon the town. The inspector-general of

in whose hands ihc children of the city

s’quiREr-Pun Spencer, Miss Sallic Mitchell. Miss Teas-
dale, Mrs. Mayo, Miss Ruth Moore. Be
sides these.the city is literally dotted with
smaller select and private! schools. But
tlu* schools of Columbus during the past
few weeks lmve had an acquisition to their
number, which tills the last, but hitherto
vacant, niche. \\Y refer to
PROF. A. s. HOUGH’S COMMERCIAL SCHOOL.
The importance of this school will bo
realized at once by citizens of all classes,
and especially by tlu* business community.
Its advent among us, although it came
quietly, without flourish of red lights or
noise of gongs, reallv marks an epoch. It
is now an admitted reality that a young
man can enter this school and obtain as
plete a business education as he can
get at Poughkeepsie or anywhere else.
Prof. Hough hits been professor of book
keeping at Emory college for several years,
where he taught with signal success.
And lie left there only because he saw
that CoulimibiiH was a great city in
embryo, and that it would be the best lo
cality in Georgia to found and build up a
first-class southern business college.
Pupils are crowding to him every admis
sion day. \ml during the past week lie
had to send off for an assistant. Prof J. E.
Me Pec, who graduated under Prof Hough
at Emory, in addition to the regular
course, and without extra charge,
Professor Hough lectures his
students on commercial law,
with which he is thoroughly conversant.
11is school is gaining a footing rapidly and
will ere long he a business colli ge of which
any city might be proud. Prof. Hough is
well known to many people in Columbus.
Hi* is a native of Oxford, Ga., and gradua
ted with honors at Emory college in the
class of 1875, when lie was admitted by
faculty and students to In* the brightest
debater that lmd gone through that insti
tution within their recollection. Prof.
Hough has in ver conducted an < nterpriso
that failed, and his business college, just
beginning though it is, may be regarded as
a fixture as well as a blessing in Columbus.
To return to our original proposition,
Columbus may be said to be recuperating

Tin* Columbus public library which
has lieoii often and recently sketched in
these columns, is “known and read of
all men.” to a large extent
at least. Chartered only six years ago, it
works with a system and regularity, and
its hooks circulate to an extent that would
do credit to a library half a century old.
The books of Mr. Munson, the librarian,
show that many thousand volumes from
hir shelves are read annually in Columbus.
