The cofiin containing his remains had been placed in the scc- ond story frort room, and this and"the adjoining room and the hallway and styirs were crowded with sorrowing ladies and gentlemen. All the promi- uent phyelcians of the city were present, as were many of the students of Rush 3ledical College; while fully 300 non-professional friends came to show their love and respect for him. The coftin was of rosewood. with silver mount- inzw, and the plate bore the simple fnscription: ames W. Freer, M. D., T ot 15, 1877 ged 60 ars, The head of the casket was covered with glass, thus permittinga view tobe had of the counte- nance of the decensed. At the foot was a broken column of flowers, rising from 2 bank of hya- cinchs, the tribute of Dr. Powell. Near by, and un tables adjacent, were stars, vases, banks, and baskets of camellins, violets, lilies of the valley. and other appropriate flowers—the offering of Mrs, James P. Peabody, Miss Latimer and others. PROP. S. C. BARTLETT, President-elect of Dartmouth College, conducted the services, which consisted in selcctions from the scriptures, the wail of ‘man atthe stroke of God, the prayer of man, the message given through Clirist, and the promife of God,—n prayer, and 8 benediction. Prof. Bartlett said he felt as all did when an eminent member of a noble profession left his work and possed away; it was due that there be paid the tribute, at least of a few words, expressing recoguition of his function and his labor. 1twoul i1l become him in that presence to attempt to utter what 50 many othiers kuew 2 thousand times better than he—his professional skill and eminence, 1t would ill become him, in the presence of his fam- ily and that circle of friends who knew his char- acter, as it was fpossible for him to know it, to attempt to utter their feelings and their apprecia- tion. ~But there was a lesson in his Jife that fairly, perhape, belonged to the speaker in commoa with all. \When he came to this city, twenty years ago, the neme of Dr. Freer was then prominent, if not his pemsoual ac- cminent. Unfortunately, quaintance ~with him = dated but & year back. - But he had learned from others that Dr. Freer was a -faithful worker from the beginning of the end,—faithful on the farm before he erntered the profession, and faithful ever afterwards. e earned cvery advancement in life. In everything he undertook hissuccess correspond- ed with his diligence and labor, and he was known through the country as an cminent physiologiet and a skillful microscopist, and his infuence on the medical profession had been perhaps equal to that of any other fn the Northwest. lle not only did _honest work himself, but lLe honored honest work in others. e was the friend of the diligent, aud recognized merit whenever it made its appear- characterized by an integrity, ance. _1ifs life w: an pprightness, aud directness—blunt, but honest —that left him without reproach. The speaker's personal acquaintance with him began in a eick-room, and his impressions of him wonld not spécdily pass away. He was glad to bear testimony 10 his professioual worth and services, kindliness, wasnanimity, and generosity. We would thank God for the legacy of an uprighiand useful life,—one that coald be an esawple to all and a stimulus to the children of this futher: and thank God that we could thank Him for the skill of the physician. DR. INGALS 8aid it had been announced in the papers that he was to pronounce au euloginm upon the deceased. ‘That was untrue. Dr. Freer needed no ealogy. ile had written his own enlogy and erected Lis own monument in his lite. The speaker could not add 10it or detract from It: nor conld any oue. He stood there at the request of friends and tie pro- feseion to etate a few words of truth, not of eulogy, in relation to the friend and hrother who had Iallen at his post, It was his good fortune to have known Dr. Freer a long while. They were students together thirty years ago, and had been assoclated as teachess for ten or twelve years, and racticed side by side for twenty years.

" LEGAL NOTES. WILLIAM I HARPER. After waiting two years in vain for payment, At- torney-General Edsull, and L. L. Mills, State's Attorney of Cook County, begana suit yesterday on the official bond of William H. Harper, Graln Inspector in 1873 and 1874, The suretles are Willinm Harper, Tobert G. Ingersoll, John M. Rountree, Charles B. Furwell, and Solomon P. Ilopkine. The plaintiffs allege that on the 3d of Avril, 1873, W. H. Harper was by the Governor duly appointed Chicf Inspector of Grain for the Citv of Chicago for tne term of two ycars, He gave a bond in the sum of 50,000 for the faithful discharye of his duties. and served until April 24, 1875, when he was_displaced by John C. Smith. In May, 1974. the Board of Railroud and Ware: houre Commissioners sdopted certain rules pro- viding that tue Chief Inspector should muke monthly statements of his receipts and expenses. The rates for insnection were tixed at s figure which, in_the judzment of the Commissioners, would produce just cnough resenue to pay the expenses of the inspection. Harper collectea about 15,000, it is charsed, which he has failed to pay over, but which Laus been converted to his own usc, ‘and to collect this amount the present snit is bezun. THE DENVER VILLA PARK ASSOCIATION. When P. T. Barnum came on_here u short time ago putting up posters for hia circus he did a little extra picce of business which will most pronably resuit in much peconiary advantage, and yesterday be was obliged 1o apply to Court for & mindamus, He states that at the Fcbruary term James T. Molineux recovered a judygment in the Superior Court aguinst Thomas S. Doboins, and_George S, Bowen implended with J. M. Wilcox, for the sum of $561.10and ! costs. An execution was issucd and a levy made on 330 shares of the stock of the Denver Villa Park Association, belouging to George S. Bowen, by leavinz 3 copy of the exec- tion with’ Willinm 1. Barnum, Treasurer of the Association. Bowen was also the Vice- President of the mstitution, and Benjamin F. Guyton its Secretary. Onthe Gth of April, or laet Monday, after due Totice, these shares were sold under Uiie execution, and' purchased for SGU0 by Mr. Barnum. There Were at that tme _ten cer- tiicates for these US0 shares outstanding, the shares standing on the Corrpany's books in Tow- eo’s nawe. Application was at once wmade by Bar- num to Guyton, the Sccretary of the Asrociation, to huve the shares transferced to hum, but Guyton refused. Complaiuant therefore asks that, as the shares have 1o marcet value thut can Le ascer- tained by ordinary rales of evilence 80 as to enable bim to recover thieir value in a law-suit, he may liave 8 mandanus to compel Guyton to transfer the 30 ghares avove mentioned to him, offertnz to pay whatever expenac 1may be incurred therefor. THE TIDAL MOTOR. # . OR THE POWER OF THE FUTGRE. Ina dark attic, crowded with dusty lumber and odd buts of pasteboard, and discolored with streaks and splashes of paint, was found a weazen-faced litle man with a prodigious idea. The people down-stairs on the first landing professed to the in- quiring TRIBUNE reporter that they were ignorant of the very existence of A. Stempel, manufucturer of ehow-carde. The groveling herd was as usual ‘behind the age. Several nonchalant carpenters, who were engaged in tearing away the staircase and making themselves generally disogreenble after the manner of the cratt, betruyed o pitiable carc- lessness in referring tothe ** shiow-catd man, » as it greatncsa were a bauble within the grasp of any- body and hardly worth mentioning. _Groping up the fifth flight of stuirs and dodging the beamal which the aforesald carpenters were en- deavoring to thrust into Lis cye, the reporterag Inst reached a door, npon which was 3 sign that indicated the occupancy of the peron sought.

Despite the efforts of the Government officials to suppress news. a reporter yesterday got hold of the fact that John A. Warver, Postmaster at Henry, Til., had been charged with stealinz money from letters addressed to the good people of that town, and that he had come to Chicago to Interview the Government authorities, a8 it were, and havc the matter fixed up. It so happened, however, that the re- porter met Warmner himself lounging about the Luilding, and, on stating to him the substance of the charges, the Postmaster saw the importance of a contradiction, and proceeded to make his state- ment. He eaid thesc charges came from a man ‘who had 2 grudge against him, and who would do anything to get eveu with him: that the charges were lics, even — lies; that it all grew out of care- lessnces and negligence on his part: that his wife iz an invalid, and, in taking care of her, hesomea what neglected his bueiness, and various sums of money. amounting in all to abont 5120, had not reached the persons for whom they were intende but that he had seen that the partics got theirmone; and be even had their receints forit. e says tho charge that he was arrested by Superintendent White, of the Raflway Mail Services is_false, but be admits that White came down to Henry and examined his accounts. When White announced Lis intentlon to return to Chicago, Warner suid he was coming up by the_same train ‘‘to have the matter fixed.’ Accordingly be arrived hore yester- day nmming]. was summoned before the District Attorney, told the latter to fix the thing up any way he wanted to, and finally gave bonds, of his own motion and desire he says, for his farther ap- pearance when needed, He denies most emphatlically that he was arrest- ed, and cinime that he came up here and gave bail entirely of his own accord. ~ It was somewhat curi- ous that he did not even know the nmount of the bail, and yet he was poeitive it wasn't as mach as $5,000. He “seems to Le ome of that ‘‘don’t-give-a-cuss:" gort of men, and was wholly Indifferent abouat the mat- ter. nut caring whether it ever came up again or not, bet taking retuge finally in the stutement that he was sure to come out all right In the end, and that no living man could truly say that he ever stole s cent of money, etc., cte. e stated, also, that he hed known the District Attorney and his Assistant for lhirfi-‘ years or more, and that they could testify to honesty and good character. When appealed to for some confirmation of War- ner's story, these zentlemen declined to say any- thing ot all,—as they generally do,—aud the re- porter is obliged to present Warner's rather curions statement just as it was given, At nn{ rate, War- ner was in the full enjoyment of life, liberty, aud the pureuit of -happiness yesterday afternoon znd last evening, and returned to Henry by the night train.” If the matter ever comes to light, it will be by means of an examination in court, for it can never be sifted to its botiom as long as the District Attorney and his discreet Assistant keep it locked up in their bosows.
