GOOD-NATURED SLUGGING.

But the Biggest Sluggers are Done up by
 Waterbury.
 The game at the rink last night between Waterbury and Meriden abounded in in teresting features, the most noticeable of which were good natured slugging, the alte,nate good and poor p!ayiny of the teams in the first and second half of the game and the sand of Referee Armstrong in calling down the visitors when they tired the funny racket. For want of better material Waterbury placed Frazier at goal and he was little better than nothing thro w. ing his legs wildly about and invariably letting the hot balls into the cage. In the sixth goal he ex- changed places with Williams and the tide immediately turned in the home teams favor, and they followed up one goal with another until the game, to the surprise of the spectators, was theirs. Conway and Menard played an excellent game for the home team, and for the visitors Hannaford and Cunningham did the best work. The score:

CLEVELAND SHOCKED.
A Friendly Intimacy Between the Two
Officials.

A Friendly Intimacy Between the Two
officials.
WASHINGTON, March 23-The President
was informed of the death of the Chief
Justice by Col Lamont. The latter was at
his residence, preparing to go to the White
House, when a messenger arrived with
note from c. C. Waite,
son of the Chief Justice,
saying that his father died this morning,
and requesting Col Lamont to notify the
President. He also received letter from
DIR. Ruth, of the navy, giving HIM the
same information, and adding few details
as to the cause of death. Col. Lamont pro-
ceeded at once to the White House, and
found the President in the library opening
his mail The President was very much
shocked at the intelligence. He was aware
that the Chief Justice had been in bad
health for some time, but he was not pre-
pared to hear Of his death.
CLEvELANDS ATTACHMENT.
Quite an intimacy had sprung up be-
tween the two officials since the Presidents
term began, and the latter has often been
heard to express himself in terms of highest
praise in speaking of the Chief Justices
character and ability. The Preside It at
once wrote a letter to Mrs. Waite express
ing his deep sympathy for her in her sud
uen bereavement, WHICH u0 Sdlu was HOG
only a personal loss to himself, but great
loss to the public service.
Later in the day the following was is
sued:
To the People of the United States:
The painful duty devolves upon the President
to announC1 the death at an early hour this
morning, at his residence in this city of Morri-
son r. Waite, Chief Justice of the United States,
which exalted office he had filed since March L.
1874 with honor to himself and high usefulness
to his country.
In testimony of respect to the memory of the
honored dead, it is ordered that the executive
offices in Washington be closed on the day of
the funeral, and be draped in mourning for
thirty days, and that the national flag be dis
played at half-mast on the public buildings, and
on all the national vessels on the day of the fu-

SORROW IN THE SENATE.
Mr.. Edmunds Pays Glowing Tribute
to the Dead.

AAAs GAiAoLA10 . u 1lOW
to the Dead.
= WASHINGTON, March 23-In the Senate
to-day the chaplain, Rev Mr.. Butler, in
his opening prayer referred to the death of
the Chief Justice in the following words:
"We rejoice. o Lord. that our lives are in
thy hands. Thou numberest the hairs of
our heads. A sparrow cannot fall
without thy notice. We bow rever-
emily and bumbly before thy shadow of
death. Oh God, comfort and sustain those
who are sorely bereft. Teach us so to
number our days, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom. We ask
thy guidance SO that in our lives God may
be glorified, and that having served our
generation we may, when we fall asleep. be
gathered to our fathers. We bless thee for
the life of thy departed servant, for his
faith, for his labors, for his faithfulness in
life and for the services which he has
rendered"
The clerk proceeded to read the journal
of yesterday, when Mr. Edmunds rose and
moved that its further reading be dispensed
with. That order having been taken the
presiding officer laid before the Senate a
communication from Justice Miller notify
ing the Senate, by direction of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that the Chief
ing at 6:10 o'clock.
MR.. EDMUNDS' TRIBUTE.
Mr. Edmunds then rose and said, the Sem
ate Chamber being unusually hushed: "Mr.
President, on Jan. 81, 1874, Chief Justice
Waite received his commission and took his
seat as presiding officer of that great
tribunal and for more than fourteen years,
partly in times of great excitement and diff
ficulty and struggle, and through a career
in court and out of it embracing questions
of widest Importance to human right, both
of life, liberty and property, the Chief JUS
tice has been a conspicuous figure in the
Jurisprudence of this nation, and perhaps
not less conspicuous in respect of the juris-
prudence of the whole world. His career is
ended for this life. 1t has been touched in
these fourteen years by no
stain, by no reproach, by no
fault or failing, either official
or personal Upright, brave, even minded,
impartial, patient, affectionate, kindly, as a
citizen and in every walk of private life, he
has filled his career with honor, great honor,
to himself and with infinite benefit to bis
country. / move, MIR. President, that the
chair appoint a committee of five Senators
to take such order as may be expedient in
respect to attending the funeral of the
Chief Justice and to the other matters con-
cerning it." This was agreed to. Mr.. Ed
munds then said: 81 now move as a further
mark of respect the Senate do now adjourn
until Monday next" The motion was
agreed to and the Senate adjourned till
Monday.
The Senate committee appointed to take
order in regard to the funeral of the Chief
Justice consists of Senators Sherman, Hoar,
Wilson of Iowa, Pugh and George. Mr..
Edmunds had first been designated as the
head of the committee, but felt compelled
to decline on account of i'll health.

S24 600. He borrowed the money at first to
pay for it. His personal expenses and those
of his wife and daughter. were in
every way moderate He indulged
himself in nothing but law books. His
hospitalitieS wore delightful, but simple.
What he did not give to public charities he
spent in private benevolence. He almost
always had some relative or old friend as
an inmate of his house. One Of these,
Miss Brownell, died about a month ago and
was buried from the residence of the Chief
Justice, her remains being temporarily de
posted i'll receiving vault in Oak Hill
Cemetery.
CONTRACTING THE COLD.
Last Friday the remains were transferred
from the receiving vault to the grave pre-
pared for them. Chief Justice Waite was
present. The air was chilly and the ground
was damp and he took cold. Saturday
night he went to Senator Hearsts to the re-
cepuon in honor of the authors who were
reading here His coachman was unwell,
so he did not use his carriage, but walked
the half dozen blocks to Senator Hearst's
and back, thus adding TO his cold. Sunday
he felt his cold and stayed in bed all day,
by the advice of his physician. But
against the advice of his physician
he insisted on getting up Mon
day, and going to the Supreme
as enforced by illness, and SO the disturbing
news which hewas trying hard to keep from
his wife might get into the newspapers
His first purpose was to read the elaborate
opinion which he had prepared on behalf
of the majority of the court in the tele-
phone case, but he found when got up to
the court that it would be all that
he could do TO sit in his
place while Justice Blatchford read it.
WENT HOME TO DIE.
He was very glad to get out to the con-
sultation room afterwarG, where his daugh-
ter, who bad gone up with him, was wait
ing for him with some beef tea. He went
home with her and went to bod never to
rise again. He was such a simple, sincere,
strong man, so genuinely generous and good
natured, he had taken such a prominent
part in the best Washington lie, religious,
social, literary, political and scientific, and
was on such intimate terms with
all the leaders in every sphere that
it is not strange that his death has brought
real sorrow to the whole city. Washing
tons mourning is often, chiefly necessarily,
official, but in this case Washington mourhs
as for a well beloved son. Everybody who
spoke of the dead Chief Justice to-day, pub
licly or privately, the President the 9th r,
members of the Supreme Court, the mem
bers Of the Cabinet, Senators, Representa-
tives and private citizens, spoke with evil
dent feeling.

MEN FOR THE PLACE.
The appointment Not Apt to be Made
for Several Weeks.

The appointment Not Apt to be Made
for Several Weeks.
WASHINGTON, March 80 The President
will not appoint a new Chief Justice for
several days, perhaps weeks, to come. He
has, of course, given the matter no consld-
Grafton as yet, but the news of Chief Justice
Waite'S death was no sooner told at the cap
itol than Senators and Representatives and
others began to speculate about his success
or. The names most mentioned were those
of Speaker Carlisle, ex-Gov. George Hoad-
ly, of Ohio, now of New York, Secretary
Bayard, Secretary Villas, Postmaster Gen
eral Dickinson, Solicitor General jerks, ex-
REPRESENTATIVE John Randolph Tucker and
ex-Representative William K. Nillack, of
Indiana.
THURMAN TOO OLD.
Almost every man who spoke about it be-
gan by saying, "Now, if Thurman were
only ten years younger he would be just
the man" But all agreed that he was too
old TO be considered. There is general de-
sire and belief among Democrats that the
President will appoint man who will be
good for fifteen or twenty years of active
service. Lyman Trumbull has TO be counted
out for this reason, although he is spoken Of
A PUzZLER.
If the appointment is to be confined to the
Sixth Judicial Circuit, as seems to be the
expectation of some, it is difficult to see who
will be appointed. Speaker Carlisle had to
decline the vacancy given to Justice Lamar
because he could not be spared from the
House. He cannot be spared any more now
than then, and besides his health is in such
precarious condition as to give rise TO Sc
rious apprehensions. He oughtpto take a
years rest. Postmaster General Dickinson
is regarded as too young and Mr.. Thurman
as too old.
NARROWING 1T DOWN.
If the appointment is 10 be made outside
the Sixth Circuit, Secretary Bayard, Minis
ter Phelps and ex-Gov. Hoadley are TO be
first considered 1t is not known that Sec
retary Bayard would accept the appoint
ment, so that conjecture set les down TO
Minister Phelps and ex-Gov. Hoadley, with
the chances in favor of the former. Minis
ter Phelps is on bis way home to enjoy his
first leave of absence. If the President de-
cides to appoint him the decision will prob
ably be announced before the sixty days Of
his leave expire.

CRoUPOUs PNEUMONIA.
DR.. Gardner, the consulting physician,
who was called last evening, said to-day
that he found the patient suffering from
croupous pneumonia in his right
lung. He was very i'll, but he
qua not regard his case as
hopeless by any means. In croupous pneu-
monia, the doctor explained, there is always
a well defined crisis. In about five days
after the patient is taken the crisis comes,
the fever subsidies, and very often at this
point the heart, although hitherto free from
organic disease, suddenly fails TO
perform its functions and the patient
is dead. 1t cannot be foreseen, and cannot
be anticipated in treatment. Had his heart
not failed at this crisis the Chief Justice
in all probability would have recovered
from the attack of pneumonia.
UNIVERSAL REGRET
There is an universal expression of regret
at the death of the Chief Justice among
public men, and from the President down,
all are eager to put upon record their testi-
mony of their appreciation of his personal
and social qualities. and respect for him as
learned jurist and upright judge. The
telegraph tonight is bringing many such
expressions from all parts of the country.
