KATE TowNsEND's FUNERAL.
Her Fortune of $500, 900 Left to the Man
Who Murdered Her.

New ORLEANS, Nov. Skate townsend,
the courtesan murdered by Trevlle Sykes,
was buried yesterday afternoon. The corpse
was inclosed in a handsome casket Large
numbers of people had assembled at the
cemetery, ostensibly to view and renew the
faded decorations of All Saints Day. Among
these were many of high social position.
When the Townsend funeral procession ar
rived every other feeling seemed to have been
lost sight of excepta wild desire to view the
casket, and hundreds passed forward over
the grave, scattering decorations, shrubbary,
and other adornments in all directions to
get a look at the coffin in which were con-
fined the remains of perhaps the most widely
known member of the demimonde in the
United States 1t is estimated that 5000 peo-
lple, the larger number being ladies, were
present during the funeral ceremonies. The
large fortune of the murdered woman was
left in her will to the man who murdered
her, and his relations. 1t is now positively
known that the murder was committed in a
fit of jealousy. A cotton clerk named Nc
Searn had supplanted Sykes in the woman s
affections

Colonel A. X. Mcclure Regards the Out
come Very Uncertain.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-The Times says:
1.-THE extreme sluggishness that prevailed in
both parties in this State when the Ohio
election came to shock the Republicans and
to inspire the Democrats, has been materi-
ally changed within the last two weeks The
Democrats regarded the State as hopelessly
lost and their ticket as leading forlorn hope
until the sweeping Ohio victory gave them
courage and animation, and the Republicans
confidently expected to carry Pennsylvania
by default until the Ohio chill sent them
about rallying their forces But for Ohio
the vote of Pennsylvania this year would
be the lightest cast for years-hardly
equaling the one-sided election for
State Treasurer in 1879; but Ohio
revived the hopes of the Democrats
and quickened their organization, and the
sudden and unexpected peril forced the Re-
publican leaders to exhaust their machinery
and appliances to poll their vote. The new
energy infused into our contest by the Ohio
election will add fully $4,000 to the aggregate
vote to be polled on Tuesday next.
''The Republicans have the advantage of
the Democrats on State issues, as the extra
session prohigacy and disgrace weigh like
milestone upon the Democracy; but the Re-
publicans are facing the chilling Ohio disas-
ter, and the result will depend wholly upon
the relative success of the leaders in polling
their vote. The nearness of the presidential
contest, and the confessed bearing the vote in
Pennsylvania must have on the great battle
of next year, have helped both sides in rally
ing their voters; and the verdict of Tuesday
will be accepted as deciding whether change
of national administration is unerringly de-
manded by the people, or whether a Demo
cratic President must be elected, if elected at
all, on the issues of next year, and with Penn
sylvania in the Republican column.

Leon Abbott has been materially injured

RICHMOND, Nov. 5.-This morning a dis
turbance took place in Fredericksburg which
almost brought about serious trouble. Cap
tain Morris R0we prominent white citi-
zen, while discussing the Danville riot, was
overheard by negro named Street, who de-
nounced the statement about the
riot as a "Funder," meaning
Democratic lie. The negro knocked Rowe
down. Rowe succeeded in getting him off
large crowd of whites and blacks, and for
time serious trouble was anticipated but
it was prevented.
There is feverishness in nearly all of the
districts in the State, and fears are enter
tanned that other riots will occur in several
places tomorrow. More arms have been
sold in the State in the past ten days than
ever before in time of peace, except probably
just after the war.

THE GOULD MAUsOLEUNI.
The Structure to Protect the Body of the
Millionaire After Death.

NEW York, Nov. 5.-The Gould mausole-
um in Woodlawn cemetery is so far on the
way to completion that on Thursday last
the final roof-slab was set in place. Work
on the interior decoration has been begun
The structure is impressive by reason of its
simplicity, harmony of design and massive
ness. It's form is that of an t1onfc temple,
raised on platform three steps above the
level of the sward surrounding it. The
workmen say that the foundation of the
platform is a mass of concrete that makes it
practically a single stone eight feet in thick
ness by thirty-six or more in length
and twenty EIGHT in width. The struct-
ure is wholly of finely hammered
Westerly granite, without a single band or
panel or other surface that is polished
Thirty graceful columns eleven feet high by
thirteen inches in diameter, surround the
mausoleum and add to the support of its
massive roof Space for twenty bodies is
afforded within. In the front of the tomb
pierced so as to afford view OF the interior.
A window representing a choir of angels will
occupy the space now left in the rear wall
1t is understood that the inner walls will be
of delicately shaded marbles arranged so as
to present simple and pleasing effects. No
brick or metal is employed in the construc-
ton of the tomb, excepting the bronze doors
and the necessary lead in the window. 1t
stands in the center of circular plot of
three or four acres on the highest ground in
the cemetery, in Lawn avenue, near Central
avenue, and is surrounded only by grass not
a single tree or shrub as yet rising on this
ground.

Preparing for Fighting.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 5.-The excitement
here the past few days is intense, particular
ly since the riot in Danville. While colli-
sion between whites and blacks in Rich
mond is not very likely, yet the feeling is
such that it will require but slight hostile
movement to precipitate & riot. Whites are
making every preparation. Members OF the
First Virginia regiment, under orders from
Mayor Darlington, hold themselves in readi-
ness for an emergency and $50 special police
have been sworn in for duty tomorrow. In
anticipation of further disturbance in Dan
vile, and upon representations made to him,
Governor Cameron this evening issued orders
for the Richmond Light Infantry Blues,
Captain Andrew Pizzini and section of the
Richmond Howitzers, Captain f. ]. Bosher,
to proceed to that city. The Richmond mil
itary will leave at IL o'clock tonight, under
the command of Colonel H. c. Carter, who,
on his arrival in Danville, will assume COM
mand of all military there. He will report
to the mayor and town sergeant of Danville.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-The political canvass
closes in this State tonight with more of
fireworks and gunpowder than was promised
by its outset Then the election of the
Democratic State ticket by $4,000 majority or
more was regarded as a matter of course.
Now the figures are reduced largely, and as

liquor issue has made the success of General
Carr, Republican, almost, if not quite, pos
sible. The record of Maynard, the Demo-

An Unprecedented Interest shown in To-

PETERSBURG, Nov. 5.-The interest in the
election tomorrow is unprecedented
throughout the State. Both parties are de-
termined to bring out their full voting
strength. A number of leading merchants
here have notified the public through the
papers that they will keep their places of
business closed tomorrow to give employees
an opportunity to vote and remain at the
polls during the day.
Colonel ]. D. Brady. chairman of the Re-
publican State committee, claims that the
Coalitionists will carry Virginia on a popular
vote of 15, 600 majority; that they would poll
95 per cent of the colored vote. If the Re-
adjusters stand firm there does not seem to
be any doubt of the result Brady stated
further that the Coalitonists Will have
twenty majority in the House and four in
the Senate.
