The Late II. Ii. Bayard.
ACTION OF THE BALTIMORE BOARD OF
TRADE-ARRANGEMEN FOR THE FU-
NERAL.

ACTION OF THE BALTIMORE BOARD OF
TRADE-ARRANGEMEN FOR THE FU-
NERAL.
In relation to the death of Richard b.
Bayard. of Baltimore (a cousin of Sena-
tor Bayard) meeting of the Baltimore
Board of Trade was held in that city yes-
terday, at which many of the prominent
merchants and business men were pres
ent.
Mr.. Miller formally announced the
death of Mr.. Bayard, and spoke briefly
Of the worth and genial disposition of the
deceased and Of his interest in matters of
public welfare. A committee, consisting
of l. M. Parr, w. III. Perot and p. n.
MacGill, reported series of resolutions
declaring that this board learns with un-
feigned sorrow of the death of r. b. Bay
ard and regards it as great loss not
only to ourselves. but also to the entire
mercbantile community of the city of
Baltimore; that In him we recognized the
honorable and enterprising American
merchant, the warm friend and high toned
genial gentleman, always with readiness,
energy and sound judgment taking his
part in whatever might advance the in
terest of our city; that at our council
board we regarded him as Que of our
most earnest and useful members. His
death leaves vacancy almost irrepara-
ble-may we cherish his memory, EMU
late his virtues and profit by the exam
pie. The Board also resolved to attend
| the funeral in a body.
Mr.. Thompson said that the resolution
80 feelingly expressed the loss tins com-
munity has sustained in the death Of
f, Mr.. Bayard and so appropriately con
veyed the feelings of the board that bis
friendly offices might only be needed in
formally moving their adoption; but
having been his colleague ON more thar
one occasion he desired TO bear witness
TO his devotion to principle, his unswer
wing honesty of purpose and his hlgt
sense OF merchantle integrity.
Mr.. Bayard's funeral took place thi:
morning from his late residence, Al Ca
thedral street. The following gentle
men acted as pail bearers Hon. Thos
f. Bayard, of Delaware Messrs. james
Knox ,J ohm Stewart, G. Morton Stewart

E. Johnston, j. Hall Peasants, William
H. Graham and william A. Fisher
The services at the house were read b,

the funeral proceeded to the Philadel
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore deDo
and took the 45 a. m. train for VIII
miDgton, where the interment was Imad
in the family vault at the Wilmington

A Christmas Feast.
Adams d Bros Clerks Entertained By
Their Employers.

'S' @1"P'VJS'"'
For several years past it has been the
custom of Messrs. Adams & Bro, of No.
5O6 Market street, to invite all their
clerks and store employees to their house
for Christmas feast, Immediately after
the holidays, as recompense for the
faithful discharge of the laborious duties
which the holiday season imposes upon
them. Last evening, the store was closed,
and all the employees, together with
several invited guests, numbering about
forty in all, assembled at the handsome
residence of Mes,rs. Adams & Bro, No.
707 French street. After spending a
short time in the parlor, inspecting the
magnificent Christmas tree, the company
was invited to the dining room, where a
splendid table was set, loaded with good
things innumerable, and crowned at one
end with a noble turkey, Drowned to
the most exquisite point of perfection,
and emitting savory odor that aroused
the appetite of the most dyspeptic of the
assembled guests. A combined attack
| upon turkey was soon in progress, but as
the "noble bird" was amply supported by
reinforcements, the enemy, after a most
| determined assault, was completely rout-
cd, and compelled to retire and give way
to another detachment of invaders. The
second assault was also conducted with
great vigor, but in the end it was over
come, while turkey and his able sup
porteis were left masters of the situation.
After enjoying the excellent supper to
the fullest extent, the guests repaired to
the parlor, where, with music, singing
and social intercourse, a most delightful
evening was passed by ALL Some of the
gentlemen proceeded to the sitting-room
where a shooting match with an air guI
and darD was soon in progress. A box
stuck up on the back of chair against
the wall formed support for the arget
and the shooting was continued will
great vigor, an occasional "bull's-eye'
rewardng The good craftsmanship O
the participants. A match was organ
lied between three press representative
and three of Adams & Bros clerks, but
sad to relate, the "press' proved to b.
miserable shooters and suffered an igno
minious defeat. A second match, agains
Mr.. VIM. Adams and two of the JUNO
clerks, was attended with like result
This satisfied the "pressmen" that thei
mission was not to shoot at bull's-eyes
and that the Creedmoor roll of homo
would never contain their names.
At late hour the company separated
all heartily thanking Messrs. Adams
Brother for the delightful time each am
every one had enjoyed.

Anluse I'M ents.

This evening, the drama, "Almost a
Life" will be presented for the first time
in this city. This play has had a very
successful run at the Standard Theatre,
New York. 1t abounds in excellent situ-
ations, and there Is little doubt that it
will be well represented when such an
excellent actress as May Davenport is
among the company.
On Monday evening, Barlow, wilson,
Primrose & Vests MINISTRIES will appear
at the Opera House. In speaking OF
them the North american says: alt is
not every minstrel band that the mana
ger of first-class theatre can afford to
permit upon their stage, but the perform
ance given by Barlow, Wilson, Primrose
e. Vests Minstrels at the Walnut Street
last evening was quite unexceptionable
| in its character, and merit sufficient to
amuse the audiences that seek enteria aim
ment at this house. Mr.. Barlow is UNI
doubtedIy one of the best delineators OF
the Southern darkey that we have seen
on the stage. A long residence in the
south, combined with rare mimic tale mt,
have enabled him to seize upon the Pc
culiarities of the dialect, and the eccen-
trcites of walk and speech, so as to pre-
sen them with marvellous fidelity to the
original. He does not show us the ne
gro of the stage, but of the levee and the
street.-the characteristic Southern negro,
uncontaminated by contact with the
world beyond his own home. Mr.. Will
son is a performer of an entirely differ
ent character, with a keen sense OF hu-
NOR. and power of compelling laug Ter
by the infectious quality of his fun. The
Other members of the firm are among the
best of the many song and dance men
that have come into notice of late years.
The programme as a whole was good. y

To be Sure

Two lays after the election of 1876
eFefybody conceded that Mr.. Tildcn had
tarrisd 1874 electoral votes, and needed
olIy one more to insure his election. At
@same time it was universally adj
Nlsd that Hayes had carried 163 electo-
"a votes, or twenty-five short of the
amber requisite TO elect him.
Tie twenty-five votes in dispute were
'l9,e of Louisiana, Florida. South Caro-
Ia and Oregon. The Republicans have
alalong ass s-rted that soon after the
-sgiiun these votes were offered for
'le, and were kept on the market for
'one weeks
There is truth in this assertion; hev
Tre offered for sale. But Tilden did not
get Que of them, and Hayes got them

ORIGIN OF YELLOW FEVER AT
GRENADA.-The origin of yellow fever
at Grenada is believed to be as follows ::
A Mrs. Field had ordered a dress from
New Orleans. Shortly after it was
received she was taken down with what
the physician pronounced bilious fever
and congestion of the brain. She died
in two days, and public funeral was
held at the Presbyterian Church,
which was very largely attended. Then
a young man was Immediately taken
with similar disease and died. Sus'
picion was not yet aroused, and his
funeral was also very largely attended
the societies being out in force. Others
were stricken, and the doctors said 'yel

late. for the germs of disease were

which followed is we'll known.
