Grave Made in Rock.
Seventy men toiled on the Arden
hillside i'm the pouring rain all DAY
today, preparing for the funeral of
a grave from the solid rock OF the
private graveyard near 81 Johns
church; the others were smoothing the
three miles of road over which the
body will be carried to its last resting
place. All afternoon the stiffness ~
the green hillside was broken by the
noise Of explosions. The grave is be
ing blasted and quarried out of the
blueStOne. which lies but a few inches
below the surface of the ground.
Until the death certificate is filed
with +. p. Fitch. the town clerk at
Highland Mills there is no way Of as

Reason for Silence.
Judge Robert $. Tovett. considered
Mr.. HaTTiman's chief business and legal
adviser. explained TODAY his policy Of
silence, which baffled all seekers after
confirmation regarding Mr., Harriman's
MT. Harriman's life was so inter
woven with Wall street and financial
affairs that any change in his condi-
tion would have affected the financial
world. I thought ii advisable not to
run the danger OF misrepresentation
md so aid nothing about his COndi-
tiOn. ANY statement one way or the
other would have been misunderstood.
Partly from JUDGE Lcvett and partly
from Charles T. Ford superintendent
Of the Hartman estate. it was learned
TODAY that the extensive work on the
estate planned by Mir. Hartman dur
ing the last two years will be carried
out according to his wishes.
Horses withdrawn.
J. S Murray. one of the paHbearers.
and superintendent of the Hartman
stock farms. received orders today to
withdraw all the Hartman entries from
the coming trotting meeting at Syracuse.
However, since Mary Hartman, who
many believe. viii take her fathers place
in charge of the property i'm Orange
county. is extremely fond of horses, it
IS not likely that the Hartman stables
viii bee abandoned
Reports that MIS-. Hartman was in
state of collapse were denied by Super
intendent Ford He said that she and
all other members of the family were
bearing their grief well.
An appreciation of Mr.. HaUiman's life
that reflects the prevailing sentiment here
was expressed tonight by Dr., McGuiness,
his pastor.
''The keynote of NIr. HaUiman's char
acter I should say. was his democratic
simplicity" he said. He never lost his
contact with life. O course I don't know
how he was foo his office. but i'm his per-
scnal relations with those who knew him
he was the most accessible man one
could imagine. Any workman on the place
who wanted to see Mr. Hartman had
only To speak the word.
Modest in Charities.
"In his charities ne was uHOsteUtatIOuS
and modest Whenever possible he kept
his name covered and ne never conceived
charity as the act of signing check pay
