The Humboldt Centennial.
NEW YORK, Sept. IA.

The centennial anniversary Of the birth
of Humboldt was celebrated enthusiastic
cally by Germans and others.
Public buildings, hotels and shipping
were handsomely decorated with bunting,
the headquarters of various German so
cieties being very deliberately decorated.
The procession to Central Park number
ed about three thousand perrons. The
unwilling of Humboldt's monument there
was very interesting event. The cere-
monies opened by an overture from Obe-
ron, after which c. E. Detwald, President
Of the Humboldt Monument Association,
presented the monument to the Central
Park Commissioners. 1t was then nm.
yelled, and Andrew II. Green, Comp
troller of the Park, spoke in acceptance Of
the gift.
The various societies present thcn sung
the chorus, 20, isis and Osiris." Professor
Leeber delivered an eloquent oratioa In
German, and Prof. Doremus IN able sd-
dress in English; and sfter further
music the ceremonies concluded.
A grand banquet took place 1t the Ger
mania Hall this evening, followed By .
torch-light procession Of many thousand
people.
The Germans Of Hudson County, New
Jersey, held fine celebration in honor of
the day.

Hon. EDWARD R. OLCoTT.-Hon. Ed.
ward Rufus Olcott, who was recently
found dead near Elliot City, Maryland,
was a son of Miles Olcott, Esq, q promi-
nent and wealthy lawyer of Hanover. He
graduated at Dartmouth College in 1925,
was admitted to the bar, and commenced
the practice of law in Haverhill. He
afterwards removed to Lowell: Mass, and
from their to Louisiana, where he settled
at Minden. Claiborne Parish, and be-
came Circuit Judge. Subsequently he re-
moved to New York, and thence to Bos-
ton. Last spring he was appointed Judge
of the Hastings Court at Richmond, Va,
BY Gen. Candy, accepted the Office and
entered upon its duties. Some time since
he went to White Sulphur Springs for his
health, and started from that place to
visit his wife in Chicago. When last
heard Of BY his friends he was in Balti-
more, in deranged state of mind. From
there he is supposed to have wandered to
Elliot City, where he died: Neither the
cause of his insanity nor the manner OF
his death has yet been made public.
Judge Olcott was about sixty-four years
of age. We believe that he left one
child, daughter. His only son, Ed ward
B. Olcott, died in one of the rebel prisons
during the war. A sister of Judge Olcott
married Hon. Rufus Choate, and another
sister married the late Hon. Joseph Bell,
of Boston, . we'll known lawyer, who for
merly lived in Haverhill.
