BELONGED TO TIlDGN ONCE.
Sale of Some of the Great Democrats
Effects.


Some of the property of the late Samuel
J. Tilden was sold at auction in New York
last week. The property sold consisted
principally of household effects. Promi-
nent among the spectators in the forenoon
was Secretary of War Lamont.
The sale continued all day, and at its
close about $40. 900 had been realized. One
of the liveliest competitions was over a
Steinway grand piano, which cost $500
1t was finally sold for S375. A large Ameri-
can flag, which floated over the Capitol at
Albany when Mr.. Tilden was Governor,
was sold for SOS. AS rule the articles
sold did not bring more than their actual
value.
The sale of paintings, photographs,
vases, ETC., took place in the evening and
was well attended Among the paintings
sold were: "The Deer Chase" by Obor-
vermiste, $40; autumn in the Catskills, !"
by J. F. Crospey, $loo; "a Hopeless
Chase by A. Rotta, for which Mr.. Tilden
paid $500, brought $725 "Scene-Gray s

Forecast Official w. H. Harmon and
his assistant, Alexander Meade, have
launched the idea of this enterprise and
announced its need in behalf of the great

Bureau and the commerce of this

paper on the subject, which will be read at

STRICKEN DOWN BY VERTIGO.
The Eminent Divine and Lecturer Must
Cease Work and Rest at
Clifton Springs.

The Rev. Joseph Cook one of the fore
most divines and lecturers of America. is
a guest at the Palace Hotel. A little over
year ago he passed through this City on
bis wav to the Australian colonies, for the
purpose of lecturing there, and on to India,
ultimately taking in England before re-
turning to his home in Boston.
His itinerary was suddenly Interrupted
in September last at Melbourne, where he
was stricken with an attack of vertigo,
which almost completely shattered his
former magnificent constitution.
Mr.. Cook is as big man physically as
he is in the calling he has pursued for the
past forty years. Mentally, however, at
the present time he is only wreck of his
former self.
The news of Mr.. Cook s affection reached
his wife by cablegram and she immedi-
atey set out TO join him. AS he was also
anxious to return to the States he joined
her in Japan, and they reached here on
the steamer China Tuesday last.
Yesterday the Rev. DR.. James l.. Bar
ton and number of others in the same
party endeavored to obtain the attend
ance of some of the leading physicians OF
the City, so as to get their opinion as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking the great divine
through to New York, where they believe
he may get the rest he SO much needs.
representative of THE CALL was per-
mitted a brief interview with Mr.. COOK,
who declared that he was too i'll to say
much and that his physicians in Australia
had forbidden him to talk.
