New York, Sept. 4.-The funeral
services over the remains of the late
Pietro Nianni, who committed suicide
on Tuesday, were held yesterday
afternoon, at City Island. Among
those present were the italian and
Greek Consuls. italian Vice Consul,
Signor Theodore Perressori. the broth
er of the late Mayor Havemeyer, Fer
divoro Ammora, painter, and Tarrini,
sculptor, and Signor Ferranti, the
bufi0 singer. There was considerable
delay occasioned by the taking of two
photographs of the remains and the
scene, TO be sent to the parents of the
deceased artist. After an address by
the officiating clergyman, Count De
Luca spoke in italian euIogizing the
life of Vianni, and alluded to his stud
les and works, and spoke of tie cloud
that had gathered over his life. Count
De Luca said that he had been well
acquainted with Vianni's family and
there was no truth in the statement
that Vianni had fought with noble
man and after killing him had stabbed
himself; that Vianni had become in
vOlved in some trouble in Rome and
had made an unsuccessful attempt to
end his life; the locket that had been
spoken of contained picture of his
mother, painted by himself Count
De Luca has taken charge of his prop
erty which is variously estimated at
from ten to twenty thousand dollars.

st. Louis, Sept. 5.-Major John n.
Edwards, one of the editors of the St.
Louis Times, and Col. Emery S. Fos-
ter, editor of the Evening Journal,
left here last night for Winnebago
county, Illinois, to fight duel. The
affair has been kept very private, no
one outside the parties directly inter-
ested, knowing anything about it
until this afternoon, when the news
got on the street and it became the
subject of much comment. Dispatches
announcing the result have been mo-
mentarily expected since IL O'Clock,
but at this writing, six O'Clock p. M,
nothing has been received.
Later.-A dispatch to the Times,
from member of the Edwards party,
says that the duel took place at five
O'Clock this afternoon, at a point five
miles north of Rockford, in Winnie
bago county, and one shot exchanged,
without effect, both parties firing too
high, but making line shots. Major
Edwards demanded another shot, but
under the agreement to fight, a second
shot could not toe had unless demanded
by both parties, and as Col. Foster con-
cluded he had given all the satisfac-
