The threats against the life of the one-armed patriot were taikid overat the meetings of the several branches of the Irish National league.

The arrangement of the police made an elaborate Bight, Over 1.200 men in full winter nmform lined the route. All travel on Madison avenue was suspended for over an hour while the services were progressing.

During the services the guard of honor, consisting of 6ix batteries from Govenor'B island, the marine corps and sailors from the Brooklyn navy yards and the U. S. steamer "Tennessee," were drawn up in line on the west side of Fifth avenue facing the ehurch. When the funeral service ended the troorg wheeled by companies into column, and were followed by the sailors and marines. After the casket was placed in the hearse the cortege to the sorrowful dirge, Chopin's Funeral March, passed slowly between the Ion? lines of police to Vanderbilt aveLue.

The crowds of spectators waited patiently on the sidewalk to witness the unosteLta-ioub display. As the cortege passed, the immense throngs silently bared their heads in respect and in token of grief. At the Grand Central depot the Chicago limited train was ready to start, when the sound of mufiied drums was heard and troops appeared marching in columns of fours. They drew np in line facing the depot and presented arms. It took but a few moments to transfer the coffin from the hearse to the funeral car oodlawn." The family and friends then took seats in three drawing room coaches, composing the special train, which pulled slowly out, and the journey to Albany was commenced, hundreds of distinguished gentlemen pres-eut at the church were: Hons.

Hundreds of surrounding pecpie began to gather at an early hour anxious to testify by their presence the respect tney bore to a tellow citizen and former chief magistrate. Shortly after 7 Police Inspector Steers, wild Captain Ryan and 125 police, silently marched into Lexington avenue followed by-Captain Garland and a picked body of thirty men from the Broadway squad. The police were posted along the avenue with directions to allow no vehicle to pass by the house and no people were alloweaon either side of the avenue from Twenty -eighth to lwenty-ninth streets, except those who had tickets of admission to the house. Carriages began to arrive from all directions and soon the side streets were filled with taem. By 8, the vast throng, numbering many thousands of people gathered on the opposite side of the avenue, extending for a block or more in every direction.

On every face there was a deep expression of sorrow; people spoke only in low tones. President Cleveland and Postmaster General Vilas arrived in a carriage dLeot from the train at 8:20, and entered the hous-s of mourning. Many people uncovered their heads when the president stepped out of the carriage. Shortly after Governor Hill and Judge Wm. Miller arrived.

They were followed by the senate committee. By this time there was a mighty tnrong of people on the avenue, and the windows everywhere were filled with Bad faces. There was no service at the house. A few friends present looked upon the face of the lead early in the morning and the casket was closed for the last time. The mourners waited in silent grief for tne last moment.

At 8:30 the black casket, covered with palmetto leaves, sprays of violets and wreaths of white roses, was lifted by the undertakers and borne from the room. It was reverently placed in the funeral draped hearse. As the casket came in view of the people in the street every head was reverently bowed. Many eyes were filled with tears in the throng thus hushed in the presence of death. There was no display of pomp or ceremony, no military music or procession.

Next came out of the residence Chester Allen Arthur, son of the ex-president. Leaning on his arm and clad in garments of mourning was his sister, Miss Nellie Arthur. They passed quietly to a carriage, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. McElroy.

The authorities of Glen Cove, Long Island and the police of Green Point, have been actively engaged in working up the mystery of the abandoned and blood stained schooner "Long Island." This vessel, whioh was commanded by Captain Carpenter, of Glen Cove, left the dock, at the foot of Jay street, New York, bound for the captain' home. The first mate of the craft was Henry Frank.

Later the "Long Island'' was fonnd ashore near Sea Cliff. Blood and evidences of a struggle were found on her. The theory arrived at was that the captain, who was an old man, was murdered and then thrown overboard, and that the murderer made his escape in a small boat which was missing. Ihe mite.

John Millard, one of the beet known submarine divers on tne lakes, died at Cleveland. He was commonly called "Pig-iron Miller," a nickname that he acquired many years ago. Millard was almost an amphibious animal from his youth, and his reputation as a swimmer and a diver became established long before his arrival at manhood. In 1850 the Griffith burned and sank iu Lake Erie and a large number of lives were lost. Millard recovered most of the bodies by di ing, and thereby won Ma first recognition from the public.

During the war he served as a seaman on the United States frigate Niagara whose pursuit of the Alabama furnished some of the most interesting events of the struggle on the ocean.

Having refused this, the commission then offered the Indians $25,000 cash fo their right of occupancy of the reservation, but this was refused also. The Mille Lacs reservation lies twenty-five miles southeast of Brainerd, Minnesota, and was sold by the Indians to the government in 1861. There was a clause in the treaty, however, that the Indians sbould not he forcibly removed from their former reservation unless they molested the whites.

Under the clause they insist on remaining, and will not be tempted to remove. The Mille facs are 1,000 iu number, and are without houses or adequate clothing, and are in a wretched condition.

William S. Trenholm 3omptroller of the currency, contains sug-gestionsfor the amendment of the national bank laws in about a dosen instances, including the contingent liability of shareholders' requirements as to reserve; the limit on loans to individuals; more tnorough examination of banks, and their protection against unequal taxation. The specific character of these suggestions is withheld for the present. Three thousand five hundred and eighty national banks have organized in all, of which 2,858 are now in operation. Of these 174 have been organizd during the past year, with a capital of circulations, Twenty-four banks went into voluntary liquidation during the year, 1 ceased to exist Dy expiration of charter, and 8 failed.

Since the beginning of the system, in 1S63, only 112 national banks have failed. Of these, 36 paid their creditors in full, snd 28 have paid interest besides and 5 in part. Over 90 per cent, of all national bank stocks is held by residents ot the state in which the bank is located. More than 91 per cent, is held by naturalized per sons, and over iW per cent of tne number of shareholders are naturalized persons. The total number of shareholders is over 700,000.

The effect of the reduction of the public debt and the high premium on banks upon the volume of national bank circulation is very fully illustrated in the report. The contraction iu the national bank circulation during the year exceeds $56,000,000. EXILED FKU31 KANSAS. Governor Hill. The mourners filled twenty-five carriages, and here old Mrs.

When the packers decided to return to the ten-hour working day, on October 14, the workmen, sap-posing they would be backed by the Knights of Labor, rebelled, and all went out except the bi-ef butchers, who had a contract with the firms of Armour.

Swift and Marise, requiring four days' notice before the opening of hostilities. Despite this agreement the beef butchers of Armour Co. were ordered out on the following Thursday, by District Master Workman Butler, who deliberately broke the existing contract. Thomas P. Barry abo arrived upon the scene.

He stated to a newspaper reporter that he had been instructed by Powderly to settle the difficulty, and to members of the Knights of Labor he said that he simply bad been ent to investigate. At the same time Butler had made his debut in the town of Lake politics as a labor candidate for sheriff of Cook county. Butler had been notified by Master Workman Gaunt, of the Butchers' assembly, of the existing agreement, bt he ignored it. The butchers at Armour were loth to obey Butler's order, but the presence of Barry, who was a member of the general executive committee of the order assured them to a certain degree. The executive board of the local assembly however concluded to get Powderly's views and sent the following telegram.

"Has executive board district 57 power to repudiate agreement made by executive board of local assembly 7802?" To this question Powderly vouch-safed no direct reply, but did send an answer to Barry, wno asked the executive board of the local assembly the following day regarding the existence of the agreement with the packers. Barry investigated the matter, and found that Master Workman Butler had made a mistake. Barry wanted the butchers to retnrn to work, but the damage had been done. Butler made evasive replies. Nobody was in reality looking after the interests of the 18,500 men who had beenallured into the strike, in the meantime the packers were making extensive preparations for a long fight.

Rev. P. M. Flannegan, pastor of St. Anne churoh, telegraphed a long statement of all the facts to Powderly, declaring that unless the men were ordertd to return to work, incalculable injury and misery would result.

Barry was immediately telegraphed to order the men to return to work, but did not do so until the following Sunday. Among the violent opponents to this order was Butler, who told Barry that the order would cause him (Butler) to lose 200 votes at the coming election. Before leaviug Barry divested Butler and the executive boarl of the district of all power to create another strike, instituting a committee to have charge of all matters affecting these workmen. Butler, who, it is claimed, saw he was making a losing political fight, succeeded in having the committee overthrown. A committee of twenty-five, with himself as chairman, was appointed contrary to the constitution of the Knights of Labor.

The cattle butchers, in returning to work, had succeeded in having the wages increastd from $24 to $27 a week, agreeing to work ten hours. On the day before election several drunken men rushed in among the workman ordering them to quit work, and they did so. This panic had been carefully-planned. Ou the following day all of ttnse on the strike voted for Butler, who later called out Armour's men on Thursday succeeding the election. Master Workman Gaunt protested and he and two followers were expelled from the order.

Barry re-appeared on the scene and the order from Powderly, which was suppressed for four days, caused the ending of the strike. A MINING DISASTER.

From present indications they will have to stay away a year if the judge whose jurisdiction they seek to evade in his intention to hava them all in court as witnesses.

There died near Woodville, last Saturday an old negro woman named Betsy Guill who had been sold since emancipation. Living upon a plantation in that neighborhood not many years ago, were two negro men. Both had wives, but the current of their domestic lives did not move smoothly.

They got together one day ard begau dicussing their relative conditions, when they came to the conclusion that a swap of wives might be beneficial. This they did, the negto man who exchanged for Betsy paying $10 and an old jack bhw as boot, The two wives exchanged their places of abode and lived happy ever afterward, both rearing large families. They died off one by one until Betsey, the last of the four original parties to the contract, passed away. There has been a number of such trades in wives between negroes since the war.
