Flow.“ Rev. Gerald ii. Board, of the
Congregational church. read a scriptural
lesson bearing upon lifeand immortality,
attlic conclusion of which Rev. It. 0.
Sherwood, pastor of the church, deliver-
ed the following eulogy:
Seesitlion a mandiliizeni in his business?
He shall stand before tings: he shall not stand
before mean men—Proverbs all., :39.
Thus spake the wise man of old. The
truthfulness and Wisdom of his saying
find numerous illustrations in the lives
of all truly great men. It. has seemed to
me that these words might appropriately
be quoted with reference to our departed
friend and friloovcitizen. whose less we

ample of the man diligent in business.
Whatever his hands found to do he did
with his might. And this was true of
him whether this business rel tied to his
own private affairs or to public concerns
in which he Consumed, as he often did,
to serve others than himself. Ills dili~
gence in his business was characteristic-
ally exempliiied in the fact that it was
only a few days before his death. and
then only because compelled to do so.

for a short time. the burdens and duties

tiy which we all feel for the living, who
are today bowed down under the bur-
den of grief. and to help, if I may. turn
over the pages of that lesson book which
Death once more places before us.
The presence of this large company of
men and women attcs's tho fact that we
stand beside the bier, not only of a man
of wealth and ability and virtue. but one
who. in al rger sense of the term than
is often ini looted by ullicinl title, was a
public man. Because of this it is fitting,
perhaps. that other voices than those of

and most lastingly in the years that are

the memorable past. Nor is the awful
presence of Death. to any but the most
thoughtless or most shameful of men. a
place for indiscriminate eulogy, or
rhapsodic vanity. It is the time and
place for human hearts to overflow in
tcudcrcst sympathy and loving coixifom
for justice to bring honor to whom
honor is due, and for faithfulness to be
unfalieringly loyal to the truth. And i

advance the public welfare. In this
direction he “looked not only to his
own things, but also to the things of
others." He was responsive to such
opportunities, and when thought. tune,
or energetic effort were needed to
accomplish what he believed the best
good of this city demanded, he spared
neither.
' In all this 1 believe General Taylor wan

men about him might of ten press schemes

Late last week United State Deputy
Marshal Loveridge, of New Haven, r-om—
municsted with clerk Marvin on the sub-
ject of the tug. and said that, owing to
insufficiency of notice, not having given
the six days as required by attaching no
ties to the lug, he tlioughtths sale of the
tug had better be deferred until the next
day. This was agreed upon and the
proctors for the libellsnis, there being
tbrro libel» on the tug, were notified.
Afterwards the deputy marshal decided
that the notice had been issued the requi-
site time and sold the tug on Tuesday for
$150. There was no competition at the
sale. The tug ianearly new and is said
to be worth 03,000. .
The proctors for the various libellants,
as soon as they heard of the sale. began
communicating with the United States
District Court, asking that the sale be.
not accepted by the court. ‘lt is probable
that Judge Townsend will order the tug
