ARRANGEMENTS CONCLUDED.
The committees on reception and OF ar
rappements concluded all matters OF de
tail this afternoon. The arrival OF nearly
all the visiting delegations have beer
timed for the early hours OF the morning
and subcommittee we're appointed to ar
range fer their reception. One thousand
tickets have been issued for sdmittance tc
St. Paui's Episcopal Church where the
services will be conducted, and orders are
such that no one will be admitted
unless q proper card is presented. A
detachment of Soldiers and police will be
on duty to see that this order i5 carried
out. In the funeral procession there will
be seventeen carriages for the exclusive
use of relative and intimate friends. These
will follow the hesrse from the family resi-,
dence to the church. The procession will
be formed a. the church. The remains
will reach the church promptly at Il
O clock. The line OF march to Crown
Hill Cemetery, where the remains
are to be inferred is fully five miles, and
owing to the length Of the procession any
delay in its movement might necessitate
the performance OF the concluding rltes at
the grave after the shadows Of the after
noon had begun to fall, and owing to this
fact the committees have sought to insure
omptness in all movements.

however, was non professional. His time
and thought were, at very frequently re-
curing intervals, given to the work OF the
hustings, There was something in the
mere aspect of q large popular sssemblsge
which had for him q special attraction.
He was, moreover, man Of normal ac-
ton and opinion, following the ordinary
bent and tenets of his party, being no ia
natic or extremist upon any subject-a
character smoothly rounded to complete
ness without edges or angles, with
no corners in his creed political;
yet he was and continued to be a
popular tavorite to the last. In religion
he was an Episcopalisn. He was firm in
his convictions; in his life consistent; in
bis Christian profession unobtrusive. He
died in this city where he most really lived
at home, surrounded by those whom he
loved in the metropolis Of the State, which
he had served 30 long, and by which he
bad been so often highly honored. Brief
eulog1stic addresses were delivered by Hon
John r Coffroth, of Lafayette; Judge Jas
Frazer, of Warsaw; Judge VIM. A. Bickel,
of Richmond; Judge Byron Elliott, Judge
David s. Turpe and others.

ter OF mere speculation resumed he, "As
as TO who will fl the vacancy

Yes, but that was newspaper talk. /

to obtain the position
Bot yo1 would take it, If elected" added
a friend, to which the Senator made no
reply.
