LoUIsvILLE's EXPOSITION.
The Preparations for the Formal Opening
Nearly Completed.

LOUISVILLE, July 30.-All Sunday. day and
night, busy hands were at work at the Expo
sition building putting in exhibits, and to-day
thousands OF workmen have been engaged,
and by electric light t o-night they will con-
tinue TO work. What last Saturday seemed
chaos, to-day was order, and SO each day
hnds a wonderful impulse given to the great
WORK On Wednesday, when the President
starts the great Corliss engine, the exposi-
ton will not be ready in the sense of being
completed, Blu such a display will be made
as to indicate the vastness of the
completed arrangements. The OK
hibitors alone are to blame
for the delay, since the building was ready
nine days before the time advertised, and
many displays not now ready might have
been in place a week ago. But there will be
no failure, no disappointment, but a splendid
nucleus will greet the eye next Wednesday.
around which will be built the finest
mechanical display ever witnessed in the
United States outside of the Centennial.
Every inch of space in the main building
and annex is taken, and still applications are
hourly received. President Arthur
and party will arrive Tomorrow
night, and be received without any formal
display, owing to the ~lateness of the hour
but on "Wednesday Kentucky will probably
DO honor to the nations chief. A grand
rehearsal of five hundred voices was had at
the Exposition building tonight with grand
organ accompaniment. Among other things
to be rendered on Wednesday are 'tSee the
Conquering Hero" America Sullivan's
Song of Peace and Hail Stone.''
1t is rumored here to-day that Gen. Grant
will accompany the party of Gen. Sheridan,
and creates increased interest. A royal re.
ception will be accorded to all who come.
The railroads have wisely concluded not to
advance rates, and no extortion will DO
practiced on visitors.

The Adopted SON and Heir of Ex President
Polk.
National Republican.
Blood and training do not always tell, "
observed the Tenuesseean. Marshall T..
Polk. who was sentenced to a twenty years
Term in the penitentisry to-day was an
adopted son of President James X. Polk. De
fore the President left the White House be
made a will, which was-witnessed by Senator
II. s. Turney and Representative James II.
Thomas, in which he bequeathed his home
stead in Nashville to his beloved son. Mar
snail t. Polk, the property to go to him upon
Ihe death OF the testator and his wife.
Up to the date of his election to the pres
idency James K. Polk had lived in a
modest house in or near Columbia, Tenn.
and the Nashville homestead represented the
savings from his salary as chief executive.
When the will was made the heir expectant
was a student in West Point.
II understand that Marshall Polk gave
$4,000 to detectives in Texas. He surrend-
cred a large sum of money TO one set of de-
~tectives who let him go, but gave a pointer
10 another set who arrested and shook him
down Tor enough to make a total OF $50, 900.
Nearly all of the money ne stole Was lost in
Wall-street speculation. in which several
prominent and influential politicians of
Nashville were concerned. The conviction
may open Folks mouth and lead to sensa-
tional developments going TO identify his
nccOmDliceS."

1t is now conceded by sensible Cubans
that if they had asked to become one of the
States of the Union when they rehelled
against Spain at Yara, on the 10th of Octo-
her, 1869, their cause would have succeeded.
This ting they will not make such a mis-
take. Every one who is familiar with the
matter knows that we were on the eve of a
war with Spain when the Virginius affair
occurred: that the high commands were ar

chief command. and Longstreet and Forrest
each a division. This may happen yet, so

The Suicide of the Spanish Minister.

NEW YORK. July 3o.-Miguel Suarez, the
Spanish consul-general, said the letter left
Tor him by Senior Borca just previous to his
suicide contained little of interest to the pub
lie. The envelope contained the will of the
deceased, and a paper stating that he wished
his body to be inferred in America, and ex-
pressly stated that he did not desire his re-
mains to be cremated. The deceased, in his
letter to the Spanish consul-general, desired
that there should be no funeral display, but
only a solemn requiem mass.
The body of Senior Borca will tomorrow
be placed in a vault In the cemetery on
Second street and Second avenue. On
Wednesday it will be taken to France on
the steamer N~ormandie. and thence to Spain,
where it will be inferred. There will be no
funeral services in this city.

Shot Through the Head.
NEW YORK, July 30.-George Sheppard and
wife, this morning, were found dead in bed
in 4 furnished room, on Twenty-second
street. Both were shot through the head.
1t is supposed to be a case of murder and
suicide. The man was about thirty years of
age and the wife thirty-five. The motive of
the tragedy is not known.
Sheppard was shipping clerk with the firm
OF Herring d Co., safe manufacturers His
father is a clergyman, Rev. P. L. SHEPPARD,
and is at the head of a large school in Say
brook, Conn. A letter addressed him by his
son, and written ten days ago, declared the
intention of his wife, Vittie, and himself to
die together, and asked that they be buried
in one grave. The letter states that they had
been secretly married and had been very
happy together, but that death seemed pleas
ant to them. The police infer that there was
some opposition in Shephard's home to his
marriage, and that this is at the bottom of
the tragedy. To his best friends Shepherds
marriage was unknown.
The woman found dead beside the body of
Horace c. Sheppard has been recognized as
Mrs. A. G. Kelly. She was forty-five years
of age. and mother of five children, one a
