KILLS A VALUABLE HORSE AND IN- Albany, May 84.—Memorial services commemorating the public services of Samuel J. Tilden were held last night in tHo assembly chamber. Judge Feckham, of the court of appeals, presided. Three sisters aiul a nephew of Mr. Tilden were present, as were also many members of the legislature and citizens of the state. Ex Senator Raines delivered the memorial address, occupying an hour and a half in Its delivery. Its extreme length caused a portion of the audience to retire before its reading was completed.Mr. Rainee' address was an extended sketch of Mr. Tilden as a lawyer, statesman and citizen, going over his life from the date of his birth, at New Lebanon, N. Y., W 1814, to that of his death, last year. All the conspicuous features of his administration as governor of New York were referred to, as well as his election to the presidency in 1876. In concluding his address Mr. Rainos said: THE REV. DR. M'GLYNN MUST GO AT ONCE TO ROME Keating Summit, N. Y., May 24.—The protracted dry spell has reduced the woods In this section of the country to tho condition of tinder, and as a result there is a most disastrous forest fire raging. Last week a spark started a fire near Liberty station, on the Boston, New York and Philadelphia road, which has been increasing in fury ever since and Is now entirely beyond control. George D. Briggs has lost nearly 4,000,000 feet of logs cut and peeled and ready for the mill, besides acres of standing timber. It will require a heavy rain to check the progress of the flames.

Paris, May 24.—The foreign office officials are loud and even violent in their reprobation of Gen. Le Flo's revelation of state rocrets through the medium of his artiole published in Figaro, but their indignation is equaled in intensity by the surprise of the public at learning how near to another German invasion France was brought within five years after the capitulation at Sedan. The disclosures will, perhaps, startle the German public as well, but their effect will not be as great in Germany as in France, where the asseverations of Germany that no designs upon France are contemplated are taken cum grano sails, and whose poople it will be difficult to oonvince that Germany is not now meditating a similar movement to the ono prevented by the intervention of Russia in 1875. The action of Prince GortschakoiT on that (Occasion will doubtless be construed into various shades of significance by the powers, but in the present ministerial crisis the revelation of his good offices to France will undeniably hare ttie effect to quicken public feeling toward the conclusion of the Franco- Russian alliance greatly desired by Russia and much needed by France. MoRKlSTOWif, N. J., May 24.—Frank I. Fraync, the woll known firearms and wild beast vai iety specialist, had a ncrrow escape last week from being clawed to pieces by his favorite stage lion, Robert Ingersoll. Mr. Fravne a country pl&oo called Echo Dell, about three miles from Madison, a village near this city. Here he spends his summer and keeps his little menagerie while it is off duty in his sensational p!ay "Mardo." Mr. Frayne'a season on the road closed this year about three weeks ago, and the little colony hurt got pretty well settled at the Echo Dell farm—except for the two hyenas, which were howling and barking at nights—before the accident took plaoe. The lion occupied a big cage of iron and near the back of the born. Between it and the door stood three other cages, one tenanted by an intelligent laughing hyena dabbed Gabe, another by a striped hyena, Abo, and the third by a pair of innocent white rabbits. Opposite the cages were the ■tails for the horses, and above were the old time haylofts beloved by ancient barn builders. Two bean, three fine dogs and three horses were in the lot outeido, a valuable horse of Morgan stock was alone in the stalls, and the caged animals seemed as nearly good natured as usual when the doors of the barn were barred on the evening of Sunday week. Ingersoll dozed away peacefully till the first light of morning awoke him. Then he rose and lazily began to rub himself against the barred door of his prison. The catches at the bottom bad not been made fast, as usual, and the big animal's motion pushed open the door until there was plenty of room to paw out Ingersoll wanted breakfast, and the horse was the handiest dainty; so with one big roar that set the hyenas to doing their prettiest in the way of noise he made a spring that carried him clear over the three foot front of tho stall artd upon the horse, which went down like a shot, and lay kicking and neighing frantically on the boards with the lion tearing its neck open with neatness and dispatch. The din in the barn woke Mr. Frayne, who put on his clothes faster than he ever had before, and ran out to the scene of action. New Yoiuc, May 34.—Archbishop Corrigan's secretary, tho Rev. Dr. McDonald, said to a reporter that accompanying the letter from the pope to Archbishop Corrigan there was a special letter to Dr. McGlynn. By direction of Archbishop Corrigan it was sent by a special messenger to be delivered to Dr. McGlynn. The messenger went to the Academy of Music in Jersey City on Sunday evening and handed tho letter to Dr. McGlynn as he entered the building to deliver his locture on "Tho Sanctity of Labor." Superior, Wis., May 24.—The village of Hawthoyie, on the Omaha road about eighteen miles south of this place was entirely destroyed by fire, which is now sweeping through the valuable timber in that vicinity. No loves lost. The pecuniary loes cannot be estimated at present. Cincinnati, May 34.—Tho spring meeting of the Latonla Jockey club opened with a good attendance. The weather was fine and tho track in good condition. First race, threefourths of a mile; Mamie Hunt first, Governor Roberts second, Linda Payne third; time, 1 ;17. Second race, seven-elghtts of a mile, selling; Malaria first, Biddie Bowling second, Brilliant third; time 1:31. Third race, mile dash, Jaoobson first, Estella second, Long Slipper third; time 1,48. Fourth race, five-eighths of a mile, Buckhound first, Balance second, Santaline third; time l;04)f. Fifth race, Latonia Derby, one and one-halt mile. Libretto first, Jim Gore second, Montrose third | time 8188%. mmmm bizur, Tho letter, Dr. McDonnell said, refers to Dr. McGlynn's disobedience to Archbishop Corrigan and his neglect to obey tho summons of tho pope of Jan. 17, which, the letter says, would be in itself sufficient to justify the ecclesiastical authorities in inflicting u severe penalty on him. Dr. McGlynn's conduct, however, had received tho fullest considoration,'and the letter says that he is ;Doremptorlly summoned, once l'or all, to proceed to Rome within forty days. His failure to obey will be the penalty of excommunication "ipso facto et nominatim"—that is, that liis name will be mentioned in the bull of excommunication and without further prelimaries."Among the shades of an ancestry ho made more illustrious, amid hills and valleys on which tho light of his fame sheds perpetual lustre, in a Valhalla of nature he chose his final resting place. Jlut upon the whole land, from its portals of light to its Bunset of glory, rises in clear and noble outline of beauty, ben i licence and power the true memorial of the career of a patriot, philosopher and statesman, in the exalted virtue of a people guarding a heritage of liberty and laws, co»- secrated to humanity by bloody ransom of patriotic lives. As America lifts her steadfast gaze up heights of progress, and gilds her fame with achievements of virtue and wisdom, in the Pantheon of her heroes in arms and civil wars, she will place in an exalted niche of fame and reverence him whose triumph was won in the strifes of morals, whose glory it was that he rescued institutions of civil liberty from the corruptions of his timo and secured the destiny of his country."Detroit, May 24.—Specials from the upper peninsula report the forest fires still raging. From all parts of the peninsula come reports of continued drouth, and the danger to many towns is as evident as at any previous time. Baraga narrowly escaped the fate of Lake Linden. Unless heavy rains come soon much greater damage is feared near Negaunee. Great Bakrinoton, Mass., May 24.— About 2,000 acres of forest in the mountains east of here are in a blaze. Efforts to check the spread of the flames are thought to be successful. AT AVOCA. THE ATOGA HOSE GO. Port Jefferson, L. L, May 24.—A forest fire has been raging for two days between Holbrook and Stony Brook. Two farm housos have been burned and thousands of acres of timber consumed. The fire is not yet under control. Clarksvillk, Mo., May 34.—The 100- mile bicycle rood race for the championship of America was run on the Clarksville Belt road. Thore were sixteen entries, six of whom failed to make the start. The ten men who made the start were: Rhodes, of Boston; Whittaker, of Chicago; Croker, of Newton, Mass.; Frazier, of Smtthville, N. J.; Brooks, of Bloasbwg, Pa.; Neilson, of Boston; McCurdy, of Lynn; Hollingsworth, of Rushville, Ind.; Ashinger, of Omaha, and Mlinger, of Detroit, who rode a trioycle and entered to break the 100-mile record. Neilson finished first, making the 100 miles in six hours and forty-seven minutes; Rhodes second, fifteen seconds behind; Crocker third, five minutes behind the winner. Hollingsworth and Whittaker came in neck and nock six minutes after Neilson. Whittaker broke down on the last 300 feet. The failure of MM. de Freycinet and Rouvier to construct a cabinet to actord with the expressed wishes of President Grevy that Gen. Boulanger bo not included in the ministry, while not unexpected, has raised the tide of public clamor for a termination of the crisis to a point very near to the danger line,. The prolongation of the orlsi* has had a very' depressing effect upon business, and many persons who were at first inclined to support M. Grevy In bis opposition to the retention of Boulanger now de-jre his reappointment, seoing in it the most speedy way of putting an end to the present situation of uncertainty, The letter oloses with expressions of fervent hope that Dr. McGlynn will be mindful of his duty to tho church and obey the summons.Have arranged for an excursion from Pittston to Pleasant Valley during the continuance of the International Fair and Bazaar commencingDr. McDonnell said that there were many versions of how the pope arrived at his determination in the premises, but that the true ono is this: THE FISHERIES QUE8TION In the House of Commons—An Interro- gation and a Reply. "Three seta of tho works of Henry George were sont to Rome last September. They wero examined by two competent theologians, both thoroughly conversant with the English language. After an exhaustive examination of the books the two theologians made thoir report. In addition to the books copies cf the leading morning papers of New York and later copies of The Standard were sent to Rome from time to time, and still later n commission was appointed to examine tho whole matter. The action of the pope lias thus resulted from a knowledge of the true condition of the matter. Having every means of knowing the situation, he has been able to consider the series of facts from the beginning, and the result is his autograph letter to Archbishop Corrigan and the monition sent to Dr. McGlynn." London, May 34.—In the house of commons, Sir James Fergusson, political secretary for tho colonies, replying to an interrogation, said the government had as yet received no answer from the government at Washington to tho note sent to Secretary Bayard by Lord Salisbury, *a March 24, concerning the Canadian fisheries question. The government would, therefore, he said, adopt similar measures respecting the treatment of American fishermen in Canadian waters to those observed last season, and trusted that Canada would apply them with judgment and moderation, while it hoped that captains of American vessels would not make necossary their being called into requisition.THE DISABLED STEAMERS. Tomorrow Evening, May 24th, Crowds Floek to the White Star Pier to New York, May 24.—Castle Garden was the scene of much excitement yesterday among tho emigrants and their friends. Many affecting scenes were witnessed as congratulations were exchanged on the escape from death of those who had been aboard the Britannic. View Them. President Grevy has intimated that he would rather retire from office than to retain tho presidency with a ministry in which Gen. Boulanger would be the chief figure, and this intimation was probably born of the declarations of many of the latter's partisans, rapidly increasing in number and persistence of purpose, that a government must be formed without unnecessary delay even if a president be included among the new officials. The refusal of President Grevy to request M. Clemenceau to form a ministry because of bis friendship for Boulanger has still further embittered the general's adherents against Grevy, and many who would at the outset have been satisfied with Boulanger's retention in the war office and who later suggested that he be called upon to form a ministry are now outspoken in their determination to elect Vm president should Grevy resign, That he could be elected there is no doubt, and the vote cast for him by the Seine'constituency in spite of the fact that his candidature was illegal, that be could not have taken his seat had he receivde all of the votes polled, and that the district is overwhelmingly Socialistic, has suggested his elevation to the presidecny to thousands who never before entertained the idea. This state of affairs puts M. Grevy in a dilemma. He is by this time pretty vfell satisfied that there is no statesman in France sufficiently unmindful of his political future as to ignore Boulanger; he threatens to resign if Boulanger is retained, and if he carries out his threat there is a reasonable probability that he will see in his successor the man he vainly tried to humiliate and force into retirement from political office. AND TO CONTINUE ON THE 25th 26th AND 27th. Cincinnati, May 24.—The case of the Law and Order league against the Brooklyn Baseball club, for participating in a ball game on Sunday, oame up in court and was continued to July 15, Trains leave at Water St. 8tation 7 o'clock In the evening and will return at 11 the same evening.

Yale men are indignant over the loss of gate receipts. Once inside the barn he picked up a stout rope that was lying on the floor, hastily made • noose at one end, and then threw it at the lion's head. At the same time he gave a loud ■hoot, and the big brute turned bis head just In time for the rope to settle round his neck. Frayne and the lion both jumped—Frayne back to the big cage and the lion full at his master, but the actor had just an instant's ■tart on Iqgeraoll. Quick as thought he passed the end of the rope that he still held around the first bar of the grated door, and pulled with all his strength. The lion was just in the act of leaping, ami his spring carried him to the cage, and Frayne's rope nulled him into it. Frayne slid forward the grating before the lion could spring again, and the big was caged. But Frayne ww close up to the ban, and the lion struck him once with bis fore paw, ripping open his arm.

Fifty Villages Submerged. Weather Indications. Wahhikoton, May 34.—The supreme court deckled th« ''driven well patent cases." The court holds that the grounds upon which it is sought to Invalidate the reissued patent for {he driven wells, as being for a different invention from that dweritod in the original patent, cannot be sustained-, that the invention bad not been anticipated by others, and that there is a olear case of infringement The validity of reissued patent No. 4,872, issued to Nelson W. Mroen, is therefore sustained. The effect of the decision is to render all users of driven welis not authorized under the Green patent liable to damages for infringement. The Importance of this litigation and the extent to whieh the people of the country are interested in it are shown by the fact that tba number of driven wells in the United States is somewhere between 500,000 And 1,000,000.
