THE LATE DIR. BEAnDsLEx.

The Funeral of Rev. pr. Reardsley
 occurs Saturday AfternoOn-Rfght
 Rev. Bishop Williams Will Omcfate.
 In tribute to the late Rev. Dr. Beards- ley of this city, signed s. H., yesterdays Hartford Courant says:
 Both as an instructor and as pastor, his work was crowned with success and his forty three years' pastorate in New Haven has been it's own memorial In 1851 MT. Beardsley delivered the historical address at the twenty-ffth commencement of his alma mater, and on the same day he was elected trustee of the college, being the first alumnus chosen to seat in the gov erning board; and now for several years he has been a trustee of the longest con- tinual service, Bishop Williams being the only one who had held the office at an earlier day. From the year 1859 Dr. Beardsley had been chosen by thirty three successive annual elections of the l conventions member of the l standing committee of the dio- cese of Connecticut, and after | the death of the Rev. Dr. w. o. Meade, in 1873, who had also been elected to the | standing committee for thirty-three suc- cessive years, he was annually chosen its | president. For many years he had been one of the trustees of the fund for the sup port of the bishop and much of the time the only clergyman on the board ,and since ! 1880 he had also been it's president. He l was also the first registrar of the diocese During all his active life he was an inhu ential and efficient member of the board o1 trustees of the Episcopal academy. IT 1868 he was chosen 8 deputy for Connecti
 cut to the general convention of the Epis
 copal church, and he represented this dio
 cese in all the succeeding triennial genera conventions until his death, being choser
 and in 1883.
 In spite of advancing years, the work o1 which, however, was hardly discernible Dr. Beardsley maintained an unfailing kindly interest in all matters concerning | the welfare of the church of which he wal
 clergyman, the institutions with whicl | he was connected, the community witt | which his life was cast. He will be 1ons
 remembered with gratitude for his man, | good works and with the affection of thos | who knew him well.
 Among Dr. Beardsley's classmates a
 Trinity college, class of '32, were Rev. pr J. w. French, chaplain at West Point; thu
 Hon. John B. Howe of Indiana; the Hon
 Robert Treat Paine of North Carolina, thu ! Hon. John s. Phelps of Missouri, Dr. De
 metrias Stamatiades of Constantinople, tn Hon. Joseph M. Warren of Troy.

THE ESTIMATES APPROVED.

The Hoard of Aldermen Concur
 With the Councilmen in Relation
 to the Estimates-The Board Ad-
 journed Sine Die.
 The final meeting of the present board of aldermen was held last evening in the aldermanic chamber of the city hall Con- trary to the usual custom, no love feast was held last evening and the board ad- journed and broke up in exactly the same manner as at ordinary regular meetings.
 The first business of the evening was the matter of the estimates for 1892, which were amended to the amount of $5, 100 by the board of councilmen at the meeting Monday evening and came up be- fore the board of aldermen last evening for final action.
 Alderman Hamilton moved that the board recede from it's former action and concur with the board of councilmen in the action of that body upon the estimates. In reference to the appropriation of $3, ,000 for a bridge at Webster street crossing that the city ought not to pay single cent for the construction of the bridge and proba- ply never would, as it was clearly the duty of the railroad company to build that bridge at their own expense and would probably be compelled to-notwithstand- ing this fact the alderman said that he had made the motion to concur believing that the chief executive of the city would take care of the interests of the city in this mat ter. The motion to concur was then unan- imously passed. The petition of Patrick Carroll for an electric light at the corner of Washington and Lines street was referred to the com mittee on lamps. On motion of Alderman Callahan the re-
 port of the board of public works concern ing the strengthening of Crescent street,
 was accepted, the layout adopted and the order passed.
 Just before the session adjourned,
 through the courtesy of Alderman Hitler the following petition was presented: Your petitioners pray that an appropriation may be made to start the aldermanic clock Will you kindly take action to have it rum aftel ity may learn the time occupied in alderrnanit
 ". H: SPEAR, Morning News F. A. SoUrHwoRTH, JOURNAL AND COURIER, E. A. STREET, Palladium.
 Alderman Hitler thereupon moved that the petition of the reporters be granted. Alderman Hamilton stated that the repairl to the clock was public necessity, and offered as a substitute motion that the city auditor be given 24 hours in which to set | it going, and if it was not done in that time that the janitor be given 24 hours in which to have it in motion, and that in the event of the clock still remained sta tionary at that time, that both officials be beheaded. Amid laughter the substitute motion prevailed, and the board adjourned sine die.

TOO MUCH BAGGAGE.
United States officers Make An I'M
portant Arrest.

The United States authorities made an
important seizure this morning and they
have In custody man who appears to be
ii most accomplished smuggler. Among
the cabin passengers on the
Red Star Steamship Noordland, whicn
arrived at the Grand street wharf this
morning was a man who appeared
on the cabin list as Alfred c..
Rutgers, New York. He was a tall
blonde bearded German, always dressed
we'll and had a distinguished air about
him which gave his fellow passengers
the impression that he was man Of
some Importance; When the passengers
began to leave the vessel this morning
and take away their baggage it was dis
covered that Rutgers had an immense
amount of baggage for a man travelling
alone.
TOO MUCH BAGGAGE.
he secured the services of Hackman
Dan Dougherty. and putting two trunks
and several handbags In the hack, di-
rected Dan 10 take them to New
York. There was something
about the whole affair which
aroused the suspicious of Inspector
Brown and Donohue, but as each piece
was marked with the sign of Gus
TOMS Inspector signifying that it had
pot feel warranted in overhaul
ing them again. Still they
could not help wondering why private
citizen such as Mr.. Rutgers clai to be
could want with SO much bag gage. and
why he should send it away so carefully
in a hack
When a short time after this the in
spectors learned that Rutgers had some
more baggage in his s,ateroom which had
not been examined, they hurried
aboard the vessel and proceeded to search
carefully three small handbags which
they found here. Their search revealed
a small quantity of valuable lace
haul the trunks. IL possible. Tney i'm
mediaiely ran through the yards and out
10 Exchange place, arriving there just as
Garaghiy WAS about to drive in the ferry
house. They called him to one side
and took peep into the trunks. They
were agreeably surprised to find them
full of l ces and silks of the richest and
most costly manufacture.
THE sMuGGLER ARRESTED.
Hurryin1 back to the wharf they ar
rested Rutgers and took him before
United STATES Commissioner Muirheid
Rutgers wanted to make confidential
statement to the Commissioner. but
Mr.. Muirheid told him he would
have to speak aloud, whereupon he be-
came as communicative as the
proverbial clam. He sent Il communica-
tion to a man nrmed Rooney, OF New
York, for whom he said be had
worked. He had lived in New York
for eighteen years. he said, making two
trips broad each year He had his first
citizenship papers in his pocket. He was
turned over to Deputy Marshal McCne
who took him 10 the County Jail.
The authorities are investigating the
affair for the purpose of dis overing. If
possible, who passed the trunks 1t is
thought that Rutgers is an
an adept in the ways of inspectors. Upon
his own admission he has heen goiug
backward aud forward for many years,
and in that time it is thought that he has
learned trick or two.
