Secretary Bayard's Sharp Letter.

The State Department at Washington
has permitted the correspondence be-
tween this country and Austria relative
to Minister Keily's rejection to be made
public. The most interesting fact is a
letter of Secretary Bayard to the En-
rcror Francis Joseph. 1t says that this
Republic not only does not recognize but
has a profound contempt for race Or
religious distinction; that not recogniz-
ing them ourselves we cannot be ex-
pected to consider them for the purpose
of humoring other peoples prejudicies.
Mr.. Bayard lntimates that while the
Austrian Ambassador will be treated
with social courtesy so long as he re-
mains here, the United States Govern
ment would not be offended if that gen.
tleman were called home. The Empe-
ror's reply to this letter has not been
received at the State Department.

Sudden Death of DIR. IL. III. Tuft.

DIR. Reuben II. Tuft, a well known physi-
clan and highly respected citizen of this
county died at his residence near Cowan-
town, early last Wednesday morning. The
deceased had ordered his carriage last Tues
day evening and when it was brought to the
door, he filled it with his young children
and those of some of his neighbors, and
drove to Newark, Del, and gave all the lit
tie ones ice cream at Mrs. Roach's saloon.
While eating the ice cream the Doctor was
seen to become deadly pale, and the next
IN moment he fell to the floor. Medical assist
ance was promptly summoned and it was
found that the suffering man had had Il very
severe paraletic stroke. He was quickly
removed to the residence of Mr.. Valland-
ingham near by, and was speechless until
the hour of his death which was early on
Wednesday morning, his wife being present
when he died. About two years ago the
Doctor was thrown from his carriage and
suffered an injury of the spine and this in
jury it is thought fastened his death. A
few weeks ago he is said to have said to
friend, that he expected to die very sud
denly, and his alarmingy sudden decease
has verified his prediction.
He was born September 18th 1889, and
was consequently 46 years old, and he grad
uated at the medical department of the In
iversity of Pennsylvania, shortly after
attaining his majority. E,rly in the war
of the rebellion he joined the First Regiment
of Pennsy lvania Cavalry, and served as as
sistant surgeon until the close of the war.
He then came to Cecil county, and IN 1861
commenced to practice in Elkton. In 1868
he ran for the House of Delegates on the
Republican ticket against Jose phi Colbert,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
II. S. Magraw, and was defeated. He was
also the Republican candidate for the State
Senate against Levi Il. Mearns in 1881, and
was defeated. Shortly after commencing
practice in Elkton, DR.. Tuft married Anna
r. Moore, and she, with four children, sur
vive him.
The Doctor had been in delicate health
for some years and had been partially par
alyzed when he met with the accident men,
toned above. Daring the past few months,
however, his health had been much better
and his death was entirely unexpected and
has cast gloom over the entire community.
His funeral took place yesterday after
noon from his late residence and was very
largely attended Rev. DR.. Nallandingham,
officiated, and at the conclusion of the
church services Rev. f. X. Miller, of st.
Mary's p. L. church, North East, chaplain
of Wingate Post, G. a. r. of which the de-
ceased was member, concluded the SER
vices according to the ritual of the order.
The interment was in the Head of Christi
anna Cemetery, and the pail bearers were
all physicians as follows: Drs. James ii.
Frazer, j. II. lamar, r. A. Worrell, and
Jas. S. Whitaker, of Cecil county, and c.
Henry, and III. G. NJ. Collock, of Newark,
Del. In the death of DR.. Tuft, Cecil county
has lost an estimable gentleman and a
highly respected citizen.
