The Rev. Dr. Harwood conducted the sol- emn and impressive funeral service of the Episcopal church, assisted by the Rev. MT. Macbeth, and there was beau- tiful singing of several selections, to- gether with responsive recitations, by the boy choir of Trinity church. There were many elegant floral tributes, in cluding a number from the bereaVed children and others, and Q number from friends. The remains lay i'll a beautiful cedar casket, which was cov- cred with black broadcloth. The inter- n,ent was private, the remains being inferred in the family vault in the Ev- crareen cemetery by the side of the re- mains of her husband.
 Among the friends present were Con- modore Richard Peck of the, New Ha- ven Steamboat line, and his wife; MT. George Hotchkiss of Orange street, MT. Thomas Chatterton, the New York merchant, and wife, who have been sun,meriug at the Branford Point house: Mrs. Titus, MT. and Mrs. s. H. Kirby, Mir. and Mrs. Friend E. Brooks and other neighbors; MT. Servoss of New York, and wife, who are spending the summer at their fine summer home on upper Whitney avenue; Mir. and Mrs. Merrick Russell of East Haven and many others.
 MT. E. c. Beecher was master of cer- emonies, and MT. Blair of Lewis & Maycock was the undertaken in charge
 The selections sung by the boy choi1 were Lead Kindly Light and Abide With Me" and the choir chanted the responses. adding much to the so- Iernnity of sad beauty of the funeral ex- ercises. The deceased lady, it will in- terest many of our older people tc know, was one of the first pupils in this city of the late John ID. Lowell. and was one Of the favorite pupils of thai noted Connecticut teacher and author

PRELIMINARY sKIRMIsH.
The Cooke Porter Battle Which Opens

The Cooke-Porter Battle Which Opens
 in Earnest Tonight in Hartford.
 Hartford, Aug, 31.-The preliminary skirmishing of the Cooke-Porter battle will open at the Auditorium to-mor- row evening, when the republicans con- vene for preparatory work. The con Vention will have a total of 5O4 dele gates if all the towns are fully repre- sented. There will be no contest over the temporary chairmanship, the Hon. c. P. Mclean of Simsbury having been chosen. MT. Mclean will make an ad- dress of some length. After this the convention will appoint committees on credentials, resolutions and plat form. There will be little else to do, and an early adjournment is anticipat- ed. In considering the makeup of the ticket, the respective chances of Messrs. Cooke and Porter are first in interest. MT. Cooke will have his head quarters at the Allyn house. One of MT. Cooke's managers said to-day: We concede to MT. Porter not exceeding 150 votes. The mistake that has been made in the canvass is that too much has been claimed. We regard the nomina- tion of MT. Cooke as assured. Mir. Por- ter's headquarters are also at the Allyn house. The speech nominating MT. Cooke will probably be made by Judge Roraback of North Canaan, and that nominating MT. Porter by Judge War ner of Putnam. The permanent chair man of the convention will be the Hon. Sam Fessenden of Stamford.

DIED IN TUCSON. ARIZONA.

Death of Danforth Phipps Blake, Son
 of Prof. and Mrs. William P. Blake.
 The many friends of Prof. William P. Blake and wife of this city will deeply sympathize with them, they having been called to mourn the death of their son, Danforth Phipps Blake, promis- ing young man, who has passed away at Tucson, Ariz,, whither he went in the hope that in a change of air and scene his failing health might be re- stored. The news of his death was received by telegraph yesterday by his uncle, Theodore A. Blake, the manu- facturer of stone crushers on Audubon street, this city, whose residence is in Hamden. The deceased was twenty two years of age. The home of the par ents of the deceased, when they are in New Haven, is at Mill Rock, near Whitneyville.
 Young MT. Blake prepared for col lege and entered Williams, but was obliged to give up his studies and col lege work on account of failing health. It was in part In his behalf that Prof. Blake and family removed to Tucson to temporarily reside two or three years ago. Prof. Blake, who is one of the leading mining engineers of the United States, also has business interests in that section. The decsEse young man leaves to deeply mourn his loss his parents, three brothers and one sister and many friends. One of his brothers is physician in New York, another is a mining engineer in the west and the third is in the electrical business in Boston, Mass. His sister only a day or two arrived in this city from Tue son on visit to friends.
