The Remains of Samuel J. Tilden ir Their Last Resting Place. Description of t In* Funeral Services—tn I mmonsi Throng of People Prcvnt (o Pay tin* hunt Km 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. Major-General Schofield, U. S.

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. Vmv Military Companies.

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 j tne Irish constabulary hus been ordered to I proceed to Belfast as promptly as possible. I A large meeting of the magistracy was | held to-day. It appointed an executive I committee to take charge of the town and i us«igi) troops and police to various points. : All the taverns in the city have been or- ! dered to be close i at <3 o’clock this evening ! and remain closed until Monday morning.

Ga., August 7.—The oper- . atives in the mills in Augusta on going to work this morning found posted notices that if the strike at the Augusta factory • was not ended, and if the operatives did not go to work on Tuesday every mill in Augusta would shut down. These notices were signed by the mill presidents organ ized for protection against tin* Knights of Labor. This order does not include tin* Graniteville mills, though the latter mill belongs to the mill association.

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.
