Twenty People Hilled nnd Eluhty Others Wounded In Amsterdam. More than twenty persons have been re ported killed nnd eighty woundod.iu riots at Amsterdam, Holland, which commenced on Sunday uml lusted all through Monday. The riots originated with the prohibition of the ‘‘eel-killing” games, which tho peoplo re sented by attacking the police, who tried to prevent them from carrying out the ancient custom. The soldiers wore then sent to the n'sistauce of tho police and serious conllictstook place. On Sunday night the soldiers fired iuto a large crowd of people, killing ten persons ami wounding mauy others. On Monday the people began to erect barricades, and conflicts with tho police and the soldiers were renewed, with the result above stated. The soldiers and [lolice seem to havo suf fered quite as much in casualties os tho mob, for the wounded include no less than forty- two of tlmm. It is not thought that tho figures given represent fully the casual ties of the riots, as many of tho crowd who were wounded escaped to their homes or were removed by thoir friends from the scene of the troubles. It is asserted that tho Socialists are fomenting the disorders. Ills 8KUI.L CRUSnEI). Wash. Barfield, a worthy colored man, met his deatli instantly, three miles south of Hampton, Ga., in a very singular way. He was down in a well on Mr. Joe. Griflin’s plantation, cleaning it out, and his son was drawing off a load of mud. The windlass broke nnd the bucket fell back fifteen feet, striking the unfortun ate victim on the head, crushing the skull and breaking bis neck. The body was recovered by means of a party going down and attaching a rope. Tbo games above referred to are peculiar to Holland, whore tho sports of the people are i principally of an aquatic character, and eel killing is very popular. A line is stretched across a canal, from which are suspended numerous live eels. The line is oither lovel 1 with the water or just holoiv tho surface. Natives armed with a forked spear about eight or ten feet long, with two or thres ; barbed tines, scull down to the target : of sinuous appendages. If a Kpearsmah drives the tlnos into an eel ho can easily wrench it from the line, for the barbs hold it firmly. But as the eels are con tinually wriggling and squirming about it is a difficult matter to hit one. He who suc ceeds in capturiug the greater numbor is tho winner. Regular tournaments are organized and tba competition is as sharp as at rifl?

Tildcn died at Grcystone Wednesday morning at ten minutes be fore nine o’clock, lie had been enjoying his usual good health up to Inst Saturday evening. While sitting on the stoop of his residence uftcr sundown on that eve ning ho was tnken with a slight chill, which settled on his stomach nnd bowels, producing infinmmntion, from which lie suffered all night. On Sunday I10 was slightly better and was able to ride out. On Sunday evening ho felt much worse, and continued to grow weaker. But until Tuesday night there were no fears of tho consequences. Wednesday morn ing it became nppnrent that tlio end was near nt hand. Dr, Chnrlcs E. Simmonds, nnd Miss Gould, a relative of Tildcn, wore nt tho bedside a few minutes before Mr. Tildcn died. He tried to speak, hut only moved his lips, failing to make nny sound. Ho passed away quietly nnd peacefully. As soon hs tlio news of Air. Tildcn’s dentil was received there was intense ex citement over it. Instantly the flags of the city buildings nnd newspaper offices were displayed at hnlf nnrt and expres sions of regret hoard on all sides nt tho death of tho eminent statesman. Samuel Jones Tildcn was horn in New Lebanon, Columbia county, New York, February 0, 1814, where his grandfather, John Tildcn, settled in 1700. Samuel entered Yale college in 18!)ii, hut soon left that Institution nnd graduated nt tho University of New York. Ho was ad mitted to tlio bnr in 1841, nnd began prnctlco in New York city. In 1844 tlio Morning News, n daily paper, was estab lished in New York to advoento the elec tion to the presidency of James K. Folk. Mr. Tildcn invested capital in tills enter prise, and became tho editor of tlio journal, which position ho held until after the election. In 1845 ho was olcctcd to the New York assembly, nnd in 1804 was chosen a member of the constitutional convention, whore ho was made n mem ber of the committee on finance nnd canals. In 1855 he was defeated as the “Soft Shell” democratic candidate for attorney general of New York. Air. Tildcn now devoted himself to his pro fession. His practice was very extensive, and by it lie amassed considerable wealth. Besides other important cases, I10 was counsel, in 1850, for Aznrinh O. Flngg, in the ease growing out of the contested election for tho controlicrshlp of New York city. Air. Tildcn became chair man of the democratic stnto committee in 1800. Ho became an indcfatignhlo la borer in tho enuso of judicial nnd po litical reform in tho city of New York, nnd in 1800-70 was active in tho organi zation of tho bnr association. When the contest was waged against the mem bers of tho “Tammany ring” holding city offices, nnd who wero charged with defrauding the city treasury of many million dollnrs. Air. Tildcn rendered in valuable service to tlio cause of reform by his famous nnalysls of the accounts of the Broadway hank, showing conclusive ly how the alleged culprits had shared their spoils, and furnished legal proof for con viction. In 18-12 lie was again elected to the general assembly, where he continued his exertions iu tiie cause of reform. In 1874 lie was elected governor of New York by a plurality of 50,317 votes over John A. T)ix, (rejj.)and Afyi-on If. Clark, (pro.) Ho was inaugurated January 1, 1875, nnd soon after declared war against tlio “canal ring," which resulted in the overthrow of that organization. When the nntional democratic convention as sembled nt St. Louis in Juno, 1870, Gov ernor Tildcn was tlio leading candidate for the first p'aco on tho ticket. On the first ballot lie received 403J of 713 votes cast. AVhcn the vote for tho second bal lot was finally announced, Governor Til- den had 535 in a whole vote of 738, Tho nomination wns made unanimous, nnd I10 was declared the candidate for the pres idency. lie accepted the nomination in n brief speech on July 11th. Ilis formal letter of acceptance, written under dato of July 31st, wns considered ono of the ablest of the kind over given to the pub lic. The result of that memorable elec tion is still fresh in the minds of the peoplo. the president's sympathy. The president sent the. following tele gram to Colonel Samuel J. Tildcn, Jr., Grcystone, Yonkers, N Y. I have this moment learned of tho sudden death of your illustrious relative, Samuel J. Tildcn, and hasten to express my individual sorrow in an event by ivhioh tho state of New York has lost hor most distinguished son and the nation ono of its wisest and most patriotio counsellors. Grovku Cleveland. Business men throughout the principal cities of the Union lost no time in paying respect to the statesman’s memory by displaying flags at half-mast. Almost every building of prominence luid its flag lowered to half-mast. Flags were nlso displayed at half-mast on all public build ings ns soon as the dentil was verified.
