THE DEAD STATESMAN.
Arrangements for the Funeral the
Late S. j. Tilden.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-No change has been
made in the programme of Mr.. IIlden's
funeral which takes place at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
The proposition has been submitted to the
relatives to allow the body to lie in state in
City Hall to give the public an opportunity
to view the remains, but their consent has
so far been withheld and there is no prob
ability that such an arrangement will be en-
tertained. Capt. Mangia has placed an ex-
ira guard of police around the mansion to
keep curious people at a respectful distance,
and only friends and acquaintances are, at
the request of the family, to be permitted to
invade the house of the dead.
The following gentlemen have been invl-
ted to act as pall-bearers and have signifed
their acceptance: John Bigelow, Andrew
H. Green, William Allen Butler, Daniel
Manning, Charles A. Dana, Daniel Magone,
Samuel j. Randall, George S. Miller, Aaron
Vanderpoel, Smith M. Weed, Charles E.
Simmons, John B. Trevor.
President Cleveland and the members OF
the Cabinet will attend.
YoNKERs, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The doors of
Greystone will be thrown open at $50 to-
morrow morning and several thousand visi-
tors are expected to view the remains of
Tilden.
After brief services a special train will

MET HIS DEATH.
In a Chicago Saloon Among PugiI-
lists and Fighters.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Major William M. Dur
rell, widely known among the wheelmen OF
America as the western agent OF the Pope
Manufacturing Company died suddenly last
Wednesday morning, Apoplexy was sup
Major Durrell had been largely interested
financially and otherwise, in athletic sports
at Cheltenham beach, and also in Duncan Z.
Ross. His friends were not quiet satisfied
with the physicians diagnosis OF the cause
of his death and determined to Investigate,
and in this connection some startling facts
have been brought to light by the Inter-
Ocean this morning. Apoplexy is conceded
to be the cause of his death, but the apoplec-
tic stroke is the direct result, so it is alleged,
by detectives who have worked up the case,
of brutal beating the Major received last
Tuesday night in a sporting resort on CLARK
street near Monroe, where he had gone In
company with Duncan G. Ross. He met
Paddy Ryan, the pugilist, Harrison the un-
known and numerous lesser lights in the
sporting world. Numerous fights are said
to have taken place during the evening be-
tween Ryan and Harrison owing to desire
to settle old scores. Others were also drawn
into quarrels, and finally the hghting pc
came so general that everybody was drawn ygf
into it, either from love of broil or for sell
preservation. 1t is not yet known why the
major was set upon, but he got away from
the place at 10 o'clock and went to MS nome
where he complained 70 ms Wile Oh SEVERE sae
called and found that there was a pronounced
determination of blood to the head. Fearing
apoplexy be administered hypodemic injec-
tions
At7 o'clock the next morning Mrs: Dur.
rell was awakened by the heavy gasping OF
her husband. Before a physician could be
summoned he was dead. An examination
showed that the deceased had received severe
injuries from numerous kicks and blows.
Friends of Major Durrell, on learning these
facts, Immediately proceeded to investigate
the matter, and are satisfied that the de-
ceased received injuries which caused his
death during a fight which occurred in the
saloon and in the alley adjacent and in
which Paddy Ryan, the pugilist, Harrison,
''the unknown so called, and others of
that ilk were engaged.
The Major was gentleman, both by birth
and education, had served in the Confeder-
ate army with distinction and honorably
earned his title He also lost an arm in the
service He was known as a generous man,
true-hearted friend, and genial COM
panion, and his untimely death will be deep
ly mourned by wide circle of friends.

SEIZED FOR SMUGGLING.
Canadian Customs Officers Take
Twenty-Five Sardine Boats.

EAsrpoRT, Aug. CD. D. Bonnes, special
Canadian customs officer, seized twenty-five
fishing boats yesterday at Deer Island. The
boats were valued at $2500 each. They were
taken for smuggling. The boats were re-
leased after the owners had deposited the
penalty, which in each case amounted to the
boats value. There were two charges
against them. The first is for smuggling the
boats themselves. When the fish treaty was
abrogated the Deer Island fishermen brought
boats to Eastport, entered them there and paid
duties on them, thus making them American
boats, although built and owned in Canada;

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Aug. 6-Todays play
in the tennis tournament at Wentworth was
a continuation of the good exhibitions of the
past few days. The struggle between the
champions, Dwight and Petite, was the prin-
cipal event, resulting in a victory for Dwight
The first in order was the contest for the first
prize in singles, between Clark of Philadel-

was close and the play the finest in singles of
the tournament. Clark won 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, 81

The principal interest centered in the
match between Dwight and Pettitt. The
first set was well contested, both showing up
in fine form. Pettitt astonished the specta-
tors by winning the second and third sets
hands down. The briliancy of his returns
brought out round after round of applause,
and his placing of the ball was exceptionally
accurate. AT the conclusion OF the third set
Pettitt was considered to be the winner OF
the match, but he apparently became over
confident. Dwight rallied splendidly and
won the fourth set GA. The fifth and con-
Guiding set was played amid tremendous ex-
element. but Dwight's steady, determined
play carried him to the fore and he won han
dily the set and match. GA, 20, 90, ga, 6-1.

Monday night as Co, H., Maine militia,
were marching along Silver street two fast
driving teams, one occupied by two women
and the other by man and woman came up
behind them, and the first-named team at
tempting to pass the second rode full tilt into
the unsuspecting ranks of our soldier Rboys.
A dozen or so of them were knocked right
and left, and for a time bayonets and sol
diers were mixed up in indescribable con-
fusion.
1t seems almost miraculous, but only one
of the company, Charles Cavanagh, was Sc
riously injured. Mr. Cavanagh sustained
serious and painful muscular injuries about
the shoulders, back and chest, but received
no broken bones. The full extent of his in
juries it is impossible at present to estimate,
but it is thought he has no internal hurt. The
teams are said to belong in Fairfield.

for use in war or otherwise. The direction
in which they have been working was the
one which previous to the experiment just

enormous in size difficult and costly to fill In

Baumgarten in Germany and BaranovSkl
in Russia have adopted the principle OF the
inclined plane pressed against the air, and
thus capable of making some attempt, at
least, to regulate its own course. In the kite
the force that presses the inclined plane is
the hand of the boy acting through the

of the water to side-long motion keeps the
sail pressed against the wind. In the Tying

the fuel; but with the development OF .prac-
tical knowledge Of electricity accumuiators
have been built which supply the maximum
of weight If the attempts should prove sue
cessful, the problem of flying in still air

be able to ride the storm is another matter
