Robert G. Ingersoll's family we're still In such
acute sorrow yesterday that no arrangements
for his funeral wore dcterm ned upon. Even
the date OF 1t was still undecided but II Is likely
that 1t will be held on Tuesday. 1t WILL at all
events, DO private. The dcsre OF the family
was expressed yesterday that It might be as
private as POSSIBLE. There will pi obably be no
address and there will TO no ceremonies In this
city Whether there shall be music or not had
not been determined Yesterday. Among tho
kilograms received Mt the Dobbs Ferry home
yesterday was one Offering the services OF tho
Kaltenberg orchestra for the funeral march OF
"Siegfried"
1t Ia not unlikely that Sleepy Hollow or
Woodlawn may be cho'en rs the ColonePs
burial place. although cremation s not out OF
the question. Col InRerso himself regarded
cremation as the rational method Of disposng
OF the dead but his alrectiouate nature Inter-
posed difficulties when the question narrowed
down to n personal one, and he ackno wledged
that in case he survived his wife or his dauRh-
ters he would be unable to carry out the ra-
tional idea. He therefore left entirely to their
discretion the manner OF his own burial. This
understanding was reached In conversation at
different times.
/ 1t Is not known that the Colonel left any will.
Neither Is It known that he left any largo for
! tune. Notwithstanding his remarkable earning
ability. for his hand was free one with the
large sums which he had at his command dur
ing quarter Of q century Of active life.
| The kilograms Of coincidence which began to
arrive at Dobbs Ferry on Friday afternoon had
passed the half-hundred mark before night.
and more than hundred came yesterday
| morning. The list at the house yesterday
! afternoon numbered in the neighborhood OF
300 and besides these there was large pack
age ofletters which the malls and special mes-
sengers had brought from nearby places.
