At @ meeting of the Washington Light In- fantry corps last evening the action of a previ- ous meeting in selecting Atlantie City tor the annual camping ground was reconsidered, tor the reason that resorts along the Potomae river conducted by Washington people had extended invitations to the corps and it was thought that | ‘the first duty of the corps was towards the citi zens of this District. It was stated that many citizens had expressed the wish that the corps should encamp in the Vicinity of this cit; where they might be visited by a larger nun ber than would be tikely to go toa piace at a distance, After the resolution had been Fecou- sidered Piney Point, Lower Cedar Point and Colonial Beach were sugyested, but the corps adjourned ata late hour without reaching any definite conclusion. In the early part of the meeting the restgna- tions of Messrs. Knox, Simpson, Bassett, Gra- bam and Clark were accepted. The tollowing officers were elected: Lieut. Wm. H. Harrison, adjutant; Geo. Breitbarth, quartermaster, H. E. Leech, M.D., surgeon. The election o1 an inspector of rifle practice was post- poned until October. The following honvrary staff officers appointed by Col, Moore were con- irmed: Capt. H. Dingman, judge advocate; Capt. A. W. Kelly, inspector, Capt. Wm. B) Gray, engineer; Capt. E. G.

Attention 1s called to the necessity for improvements of the Great Falls and receiving reservoirs, to secure the water supply against pollution that may arise from Surface drainage, at a cost of $125,000. The dam at Great Falls, extending from Coun’s Isiand toward the Virginia shore, con- necting with the dam from that shore, has been coupieted, with the exception of about 192 lineal teet of coping, most of It being on the old dam, The amount expended June 30, 1886, M5 5oQIZEGULOL, leaving a balance “of $23,539.99, which’ is considered sufficient to complete the work.

Tilden were Pencefui and painless. For several months Past he had enjoyed unusual health for him. He had gained in flesh thirty-five pounds in six montis. He used his yacht Viking tre- quently and took long carriage drives daily. His face was familiar to the people of Yonkers, and he frequently drove through the streets of the city. ‘The last time he went out was on Sanday, when he was driven out by bis faith- ful coachman, Dennis O'Hara, attended by his valet, Louis Johansen, both ot whom have been in bis service for years. Saturday he was taken with a slightenill while sitting on aporeh overlooking the Hudson and was taken to his Foom, where he was attended by his friend and phystelan, Dr. Charles E. Simmonds, of New York, who is stopping with his tantly on the neighboring estate of Blink Bound. The cold settled in his bowels and stomach, vomiting and purging. With medical felt much better on Sunday, and went out in | his carriage. Monday and Tuesday he also telt much better. Tuesday night, at 100'clock, when he prepared to go from his library to his cham- ber,Dr.Simmonds and Mr.Tilden’s valet stepped to lils side to assist him. ‘Together they accom- Panied him up the broad, easy stairway. It was then that the physician observed the cer- tain signs of fatal weakness. Mr. Tilden walked very feebly and breathed with the featest, difficulty on gaining the top landing. His weak voice became almost inaudible, and it was only by a painful effort that he could Speak atall. A chair was brought to the head of the stairs and Mr. Tilden rested in it before ‘attempting to go further. He was in great dis- tress, and for several minutes suffered ex. tremely, while the physician administered mild restoratives. Presently he was taken up bodily and carried to his chamber and put to bed. From that time Mr, Tilden did not speak. His mind had lost none of its brilliant strength, and during Taes- day he was as bright and active mentally as he ever was. But his system was now approach- ing the final stage of decay and with it hismind became not clouded but quiet. From the time that he reached his bed ‘Tuesday night until his death he sutfered no pain. A faithful wateh Was Kept at hig bedsite during the night by Miss Gould, Mr. Tilden’s niece. He lay per- feetly still until 4 o'clock, though it cannot be said that he slept, : At four o'clock Mr. Tilden touched an electric annunclatorat his bedside and his valet imme diately responded. He was assiste1 to a chair, where hesat quietly with his eyes half closed. As he seemed to be in no dangerous condition AAU six o'clock she re- turned and Dr. Simmonds came with her. ‘The physician had been in the house all night, but had done nothing, as the case did not admit of teatment He still had hope that the patient might raliy, as be had so many times in the past. A careful scrutiny, however, convinced the doctor that his patient was ‘slowly but surely failing, and a carriage was ordered to o or Dr, Samuel Swift, the leading physician of Yonkers and an oid iriend of Mr. Tilden’s. Dr. witt arrived at a little before cight o'clock. When he came into the room his iace fell ai once. ‘He saw that death could not beavolded. The consultation of the physicians was very briet and without disagreement. All had been done that was possible, aud there was nothing now but toawait the end, It was not far off. It is not provable thut Mr. Tildén was conscious when Dr. Swift arrived, His chair was near a favorite ‘window looking to the south, trom which a long and magnificent view of the Hudson and the Palisades inay be obtained. The dying man did not look up. He reclined in the chair us if asleep, and never rallied for an instant. At a quarter to nine all signs of breathing ceased, He died genvly and without the faintest evidence of u struggle. MR. TILDEN’S NEW YORK HOUSE.

Mr. Tilden’s dining room is said to be the finest in the country. He expended $40,000 on that room alone. Tae otuer rooms in the house are also elaborately decorated and turnisned. It has been an- nounced in the public prints that Mr. Tilden intended, when he Joined two houses into one jour yeurs ago, that at his death the building and fine library it contains would be given to the city of New York for a puplic library. John Sigelow, Manton Marble and Henry Wat terson, it was said, Were to be made trustees of the property for this purpose. ‘The library is in some respects unique. it numbers 3,000 volumes, Which include one of the finest’ col Jections .n the worid of illustrated books.

The most violent press utterances agains! the American govern- ment are contained in the columns of the oppo- sition press, which apparently desires to get the Diaz administration invo war. The goverument organs preserve @ moderate tone and at the same time a dignified one. The tone of the ‘Texas press is sincerely regretted by Americans established in business there. President Diaz was interviewed to-day on the Cutting case, and said he thought the matter would be settled amicably. He is not appre- hensive of war. “I have no apprehension,” he said, “of difficulties growing out of such an in- significant affair, which 1s really only a quarrel between two disreputable journalisis. I think that the United States government was a trifle hasty. In the) mnatter, owing. probably, to early aud inaccurate and onesided reports.
