PERSONAL.

Senator Fenton, on the plea of i'll health,
declines to accept invitations to Buffalo and
Dunkirk to deliver the Fourth of July grafton.
His college cares ended for the term Dr.
McCosh of Princeton, hes him away for the
summer vacation to the wild country about
Quebec.
Three sisters, named Hurlbut who came into
the world simultaneously, ARE now living together
in Litchfeld Conn, aged 81. They have rarely
been separated, and have always enjoyed excel
lent health.
The South Bend (Ind.) Register of the 18th
instant says:-Mr. Colfax has improved steadily
in strength since last ISSUE but is still weak
He rides out with Mrs. Colfax about two hours
every day, and walks out in his garden an hour
or so each day His appetite is good and his
spirits buoyant, and there is no doubt of his
restoration to complete health. Although the
fact as to his illness has been so widely
published, it has not materially diminished
the applications that pour in on him
constantly, as in the past-made personally
too, as well as in writing-application for
offices, for donations, for letters of indorse-
ment, recommendation, or introduction, to
attend to department business, to answer
inquiries of all kinds. Persons have come
hither from Chicago and other points during the
last week with such unreasonable solicitations.
He obeys, however, the injunctions of his ply
sician-tbe letters are unanswered; he sees but
few visitors, and, when they state such business
as the object of their calls, he respectfully asks
to be excused.

The Funeral Ceremonies at Paris.
A Tribune letter-writer from Paris says:-The

Here che embslmed body of Monseigneur Darboy
hung with black and silver, and dimy lighted with
the huge waxen tapers which play 30 prominent q
part in all the ceremonies OF the Roman Catholic
Church. At 10 O'Clock, yesterday morning. the
clergy composing the chapter OF the Cathedral Of
Notre Dame went TO the Archbishops palace to re-
ceiye the body OF the head Of the chaper and then
the solemn procession started.
Preceded by three mournlng-coaches containing
twelve bishops of different di0ceses under the late
prelaes supervision, came the funeral car the mag
nincence of which called forth expressions OF won

not closed, but had baldachin over the cofiin so
high that the coffin was completely exposed to pub

lowing their dead to the cemetery.
The services proceeded with slow solemnity, only
broken by the sobs of many OF the friends of Mon-
seigneur Darboy who were gathered around the
coffin. Conspicuous among the many soldiers pre-
sent was MacMahon, who stood leaning on his
swerd, not far from the choir in attitude OF the
deepest reflection. Not far from him stood Trochu,
and near him Lavaucoupet.
The pold-bedecked uniforms Of the generals and
staf officers shone like stars against the black
dresses Of the priests. AS the absoution was given
by Monsegneur Chigi, the Papal Nuncio, salvo of

few people approached and placed immorteles ou

forsaken by the crowd, which had occupied since

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
From the N. Y. Herald.

"As daylight begins to break through the confu-
sion consequent upon the recent failure OF the
movement in Rock Island the original accounts of
the causes producing it are confirmed. The chief
leader in the proposed cornertng of the stock was
betrayed by his confederates, who were quietly
azing on their portion OF the pool stock while he
was buying. He seems to have got an inkling OF
their treachery on Tuesday, when the sudden large
supply OF the stock to his brokers aroused his sus-
pciOns. He endeavOred TO induce their return to
The pool movement, and spent Tuesday evening at
an up town hotel vainly urging restoration OF
good faith. On Wednesday morning he renewed
his entreaties at the offices OF the parties down
town; but they stu refused to undo their
mediatey. 1t seems that Ill feeling had ex-
listed for some time between the leading
transaction, in which he had broken faith-the
speculation at that time being Northwestern. But
differences were temporarily healed, and the move
ment In Rock Island begun, only to result In the ap-
pcation to himself of the tactics which had used
in the Northwestern movement. The law courts
are now busy with applications for injunctons from
the various firms involved in the Rock Island fasco.

their claims. Meantime, as already stated, the
principal operator above referred to has expressed
his willingness to settle, at fifty cents the dollar,

OF his individual contracts for the delivery of
stock on 'puts." Otherwise he holdg the members

The Journal also has the folloWing:-
'The whole contest in the coal regions since last
January, both by the companies and individual
operators with the men, has been to fix scale OF
wages that would enable them to put coal into the
market at cheaper rate, 30 as to extend the con-
SUMPTION and thus take the glut out OF the market
while the leaders were contending for restricted
trade including usrensons, in order to
keep up the price OF coal and wages, regardless
Of the state Of the market. That contest Is ended
for the present, and If the consumers will
now commence laying in their supplies at once, and
thus take the coal as fast it arrives in the
ket it can be supplied and prices will not rule pro-
baby from IS cents to 81 per ton higher tn
July rates: but If they hold back there Will be an
other panic in the fall and prices will rule nearly
high next winter as they did the last. Should such
be the case, the responsibility will rest upon the
consumers, and not the producers, as we have
warned them in time"

A HIRED ASSASSIN.
Remarkable Scandal i'm Saratoga County
New York.

From the Troy Times June 25.
The southern part OF Saratoga county has lately
been greatly excited over a matter the develop
ments in regard to which are about as follows:-A
little more than q week ago, Isaac G.. Lansing, a
farmer living In the town town Of Haimoon, went West
sheep. Immediately after his departure a most hor-
ribe story became whispered about the substance
of which was that Mr.. Lansing had bargained with
man TO murder his wife during his absence.
Wien Mr. Lansing returned he found the rumor
was rife in his. neighborhood, and at once COM
OF arrest against Abram Deyoe OF Crescent, the
thor Of the story; Upon being ga arrested peyoe at
for plotting the murder OF his own wife, upon which
Lansing was arrested yesterday and arragned before
Justice Cramer OF Waterford.
The examination OF Lansing was at once pro-
ceeded with, and Devee disclosed a state of facts
which, If true reveal plot for wife-murder on the
part OF Lansing which, in horrible and cold -booded
details, rivals Rulofrs most damnable crimes
Deyoe swears that more than year % ago Lansing

'out OF the way, for consideration. Devoe says
he received the proposition fayorably, and that
on the strength OF it he has at various times
received favors from Lansing in the shape
@ondH 8eToe also disclosed he nre Of t
proposition to several persons, telling them that he
intended to make use OF It to get considerable
Devoe's story goes, about TWO weeks ago Lansing
told him that he was about to leave home for several
days, that his wife would be alone In the house,
which is quite isolated, every night with their two
small children and he wanted the business done

house through certain insecure window, how
to make his entrance n0iseless, where to

and silverWare In various parts OF the house. which
he was to take away and thus to make 1t appear
that plunder was the object; also how to rob
neighbor's house near at hand, and thus make the
'bllnd" darker, and finally how Lansing cautioned
him to "make no mistake' and ''not harm the chill
dren," but to ''make sure work OF it." Then the
blood-money was paid the sum being S1O5,

connects so many collateral facts aud
outside parties incidentally with IL, that before the
investigation is closed it cannot fail tosappear that
Devoe has told an ingenious and tremendous lie,
Lansing ought TO be hung. The examination is ad-
journed to the 96th inst Mrs. Lansing has some
property, and both she and hez husband are re-
Specially connected. The "trouble in the family"
it is rumored is certain entangiements with other
women, and the wife's property is suggested as an
inducement to the plotting. 1t is certainly most
strange and unfortunate affair.
