TILDEN TO BE ABDUCTED—MESSBS. BAYARD AND HAYES, r Tieutenaut Governor Dorsheimer was quietly terday afternoon and bracing himself with # sun bath, when, in response to a question put by a HERaxp representative, he said, “Oh, yes, I saw that story about the contemplated seizure of Mr. Tilden, and 1 have no doubt it was substantially correct.” “Had you heard of it before the recent publication in the Hepanp?” “Yes, indistinctly. I recall from the various mut- “Suppose he had done so?’ “Well, suppose he had, There is no law against it “Do you believe the existing administration had “Yes,I have no doubt of it. I believe the letter truthful, and if there had been the least provocation it would have been carried out to the letter.” “What would have been the effect?” “If Mr. Tilden had taken the oath of office in New York the day Mr. Hayes took it in Washington, and he had then been arrested, I have a very clear idea that the parties who perpetrated the outrage would have found themselves in a very unpleasant predica- ment.”” “In view of the conflicting reports of Mr, Tilden’s health, what is the fact? Is he physically sound or weaker?” “Well, I haven't aeen much of Mr. Tilden of late, as he lias been in New York and I in Albany, but whatever the fact may be, it is certain that he has never yet tailed to respond to any and all demands made upon him,” “That's hardly an answer. “Ah! you it 1s—a reply at ull events.” ‘THE STATE CAMPAIGN. “Your name, Governor, is mentioned in connec- tion with the gubernatorial nomination next fall.

Potter.” nd yourself’ ‘That I didn’t say.”* “How about Mr. Tilden. Would he accept the nomination it he could get it?” “TI have heard rumors that his friends would pos- sibly press his nawe, but whether the Governor wona tec] like going into the campaign I really do not know.” “But why beat about the bush, Governor? There are serious personal differences in the party and they must necessarily have their effect?’ “Yes, but no mere personal difference, personal fortune, personal anything should be ‘mitted to haye an effect, The contest should be with the enemy, not in ourown camp, The nomination must 0 to the strongest man independent of his desire, ig necessity or his tortune.’” THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK. “Is it probable that the Kast wall be permitted to name the democratic cundidate next year in the Na- tional Convention?” «That depends entirely on the West. If the West could come into the Convention united on one man that would settle it. Had the West done so in 1876 she wonid have carried her point, Tne East, and expecially New York, has succeeded only by reason ot'the division in the Western rauks. Yon see there were Hendricks, Thurman and Davis. The West. ‘was not solid for any one, Hendricks had his State and Thurman. his. Tilden divided with all of the opposition. He had part of Ohio, Hlinois and other Sates and a solid frout here. The consequence was he won, but if the West had unitedly willed it other- wise, otherwise it would have been.” «Does it look'any better now?” “I can’t see that it does. There is Hendricks ‘in In- diana, strong and growing stronger; Davis and Thurman, too, have their friends, and if Ewing cur- ries Ohio he becomes a participant at once, A new name is finding some tavor, too, Judge Stephen J. Field, of the United States Court in California, is being talked of considerably. In view of the ri- valries further East it occurs to some that it might be a good idea to take’a candidate from California,” THE MAN OF ALL. “But? — “But the man whose name comes instinetivély to the mind of every one as filling sbsolutely the Preai- tot Mr. Bayard, of 'Dela- ware. In every way he is perfectly suited'to the po- sition. Mentally he ranks with the best. Asa man of character he is unblemished. His record is un- impeachable. Hise manner is most engaging.

He adds to the ticket that strength ot character from which so much was hoped and expected in 1576, and which to a certain extent we obtained, Still he labors under the disadvantage of coming from # small State «nd one which bus but little strength in the Convention.” CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT. “What do you think of the last Congress, Gov- “Well, I think the action of the democrats was eminently wise and dignified, and abundantly justi- fied by the necessities of the times. It was necessary that the Jaws which were passed for certain purposes at the close ot the war should be repealed, and 1 am entirely in harmony with the purposes and action of the.democrats in Congress.” a “Don't you think President Hayes is stronger than e was?” “With the republicans, decidedly. He has shown more backbone and vigor than he was credited with, and as between the auti-administrationists and the administrationists the latter are much the stronger. Iu his own party Mr. Hayes bas advanced very con. siderably.” “You have no doubt as to the election in this State, have you?” “Not if personal pre‘erences and personal necessi- ties are put aside in the general interest of the party. Party harmony can be obtained by selt-abneyation only. No one man should be consulted. The best interests of the party at large and its best fortunes should be reguant. Then no opposition ean succeed in this State. I feel contident that wise counsels will prevail and the end will abundantly justify the nomination.” POLITICAL NOTE The St. Louis Globe- Democrat is convinced that this State will be the Presidential battle ground in 1880, In the opinion of the St. Louis Republican the South has as good right to be “solid” on one side as New England on the other. ‘Lhe St. Louis Republican would like to know whether this is Mr. Hayes’ administration or Mr. Sherman’s. It is Sherman here, there and every- where. The Louisville Courier-Journal is confident that if Mr. Tilden himself be not the next nominee of the dricks, ‘The result of the extra session of Congress, says to-lay as strong with the people at large as well as with the party that elected him as any Presidentever stood in the United States, In the event of Governor Talbot withdrawing from the political field in Massachusetts the Boston Herald thinks taat Lieutenant Governor Long would be the republican nominee for Governor. Mr. Talbot can succeed himself if he wishes. In the opinion of the Toronto Mail the Monroe doctrine “kas been almost as completely forgotten as if it had never been propounded by a President of the Republic.” It would hardly be safe for the Mast to act upon this, to it, comforting theory, NOISELESS KLEVATED RAILROADS. PETER COOPER'S VIEWS AND PLANS—NO NE- CESSITY FOR LOCOMOTIVES ON THE RAILS— DOING AWAY WITH SMOKE, COAL GAS AND ASHES. To rae Eprros or tae Hemaup:— ‘ ‘The system of elevated railroads has become & matter of vital importance to.the Welfare of this city, viewed both as a matter of public convenience aud measured by the destruction of the’ value of property that has been encountered in carrying it into sucecesful operation, As it is at present—if all that is made by the railroad were to be measured by the loss that people are compelled to suffer by its passing in front of their houses, the inconvenience of the noise and the loss of light—the amonnt woald in all probability be more than the cost of the road.. Thus it becomes a matter of unmeasured importance to know what must be done to meet the public convenience and to save from destruction the property before which the road passes. All must see that as now arranged, with the un, coasing noise and smoke and sparks and steam that are thrown into the windows by the locomotive in its passage, no one can suppose it possible that it can be endured in its present shape. And now it be- comes a question, What can and what must be done to so improve the methods of rapid transit as to cause the advantages to be derived from it to over” balance the injury that property has to sustain by its passage? For one I have taken a great deal of pains to ascer- tain how the difficulties now encountered might be avoided, Many will remembergthe letter that I pub- lishet, directed to Mr. Ogden, of Westchester county—a man very largely interested in having ele- vated railroads, by reason of the increase in the value of his property, as well as for public motives, Unfortunately he was rendered unable to give it any attention in consequence of his being paralyzed, and he finally died from the infliction. I directed my letter to him in the hope that he would give it atten- tion, as he had so large an interest involved in the success of the rosd or in its isilure, so that it could ‘bo accomplished in @ manner that would render it at least tolerable. In that letter I showed how easy und practicable it would be to transport passengers without locomotives, or the noise, smoke, gas and sparks that are unavoidable in the use of the loco- motive, by propelling all the care with an endless chain. ‘To accomplish this it is only necessary to arrange 8 railroad very similar to the present construction and not requiring more than half its strength to be equally safe, This isin consequence of getting rid of the use of locomotives entirely and substituting stationary power in its place, That power would make it necessary that all the stopping places on the line should be equally distant from each other, sq that all the cars propelled by this endless chain would have to stop at the same time in their proper places. There should also be a proper arrangement of the rails, with an elevation at each stopping place sufficient to take up the momentum that would otherwise be lost by the stoppage of the cars and give out its power to aid them in taking rapid mo- tion when required. It will be seen that such an arrangement will cause as much weight to be constantly going down hill as there is going up hill, so as to reduce the whole power of the machinery to be no more than required on a perfectly smooth level. All who are able to calculate the force of moving bodies will see that they can be moved on a perfectly dead level with less than half the power that is necessary to carry them over the present elevations, which they are compelled to encounter between the Battery and Harlem River. It will be seen that five or six times the power is needed to propel the engines over these elevations that would be required, provided all the trains were fastened to an endless chain and had as much weight going down Dill as there was being drawn up. Other great advantages will be seen to grow out of the fact that such an arrangement puts an end to all possible collision or to one car running forward and destroying others. One stop atone place is equally a stop at all the other stopping places on the line, 80 that there, # no more time lost in stopping than there would be for one train. With @ proper tele- graph line the word of command can be given throughout the whole chain as well as it could through a single car. This would enable the second stories to become business places from ‘one end of the line to the other wherever it was required. They would be more valuable for many purposes than eyen the lower stories. There could be a sidewalk made of glass, similar to that around the Cooper Union, where it has stood for twenty years, and is to-day as good as when first put down. This sidewalk could be always kept clean and free from the objections found on the lower sidewalk. A great advantage of this arrangement would be a relict from the neces- sity of awnings, this glass sidewalk giving light to the stores and sheltering all below from storins, ‘The cars would be propelicd by an endless chain of wire rope, fastened to the centre of the side of each car, and made to pass around # large drum of some hundred feet in diameter at each end of the line. ‘The whole power of driving the chain from the Battery to Harlem could be communicated through these two large drums; and any amount of speed convenient, and not enough to thsow people off their seats, could be used in stopping or at , ‘The great advantages all tuld that would result from ‘the application of such @ method of rapid transit would allow the structure to be at least one- half lighter than yow and equally as safe; ana the running of the cars would require perhaps not more than one-third the power at present necessary. ‘That power would be underground, out of the way and where it would bea nuisance to nobody. Lregret exceedingly that my labor and pains have been lost in trying to attruct the notice of those parties who have projected and carriea out the present rapid trausit railroad, so as to fix their atten- tion on the plan that I thought indispensable to run it to the best advantage, and which would do the least injury to the property before which and through which it passes, 1 have myself property which suffers a great deal by the passage of the “L” road as it now does, with its noise, steam, sparks and gas. This property is redi now to almost half its value. Houses that rented for $2,600 a year are now rented for $1,600 @ consequence of tho damage done by the “L” road, all of which loss could have been avoided if I could have prevailea on the parties interested to adopt # pian that would ad- mit seseee a saving being made and such advantages secured. x in order to make a car run entirely free from noise it is possible to have the rails so arranged that the car shall have a smooth passage over the joints of the rails, and not be compelled to drop into the cracks found at the end of each rail, which sre necessary to allow for the expansion of the rail from heat and its contractiou trom cold, To obviate that difficulty it is necessary that the chair that holds the rail should clamp it fruly, cg oe | to @ plan suggested by a gentleman whose name I cannot recall. The chair envelops the rail in a cloth of indiarubber, leaving « portion of the iron outside on a level with the top of the rail, so that the car shall not haye the opportunity of dropping into tho little crack at the end, thus obviating that | thumping noise occasioned by the — wheel striking tbe ends of the rails ax it passes over, reatly to the injury of the rails and the inconve: jence of all who travel, ‘To make cars as free as pi sible from noise the wheels may be so constructed | as to have a groove over the whole face except a little rim outside up to the flange that rubs against the side of the rail.

The experiment of running Sunday trains on the ‘west side Metropolitan “L’’ Railroad was tried yes- terday with most gratifying resulta so far as con- cerns the number of passengers carried. The first train was started at half-past twelve o’clock P. M. on three minutes headway, and ¢ontinued up to midnight. The early trains were not very largely putronized; but as the hours wore away and the rush to the Central Park set in the cars went up quite full, On the arrival of the steamers from the seaside resorts in the evening the number of trav- ellers was very largely augmented. The rate of fare wax the same as upon week days, including the re- Stone tare of five cents between five aud seven o'clock. BASEBALL, LEAGUE, NATIONAL AND LOCAL OHAMPIONSHIPS— POSITIONS OCCUPIED BX, THE CONTESTING CLUBS. During the past week the heavy lead heretofore held by the Chicago Club over the Providence Club was diminished by the three victories the Providence Club gained—one from the Bostons and two from the Troye—assisted by the threa deteats the Chicagos received from the Cincinnatis and one from the Bos- tons, which leaves the Chicagog only threo games in advance of the Providence Olub. The race for the championship becomea more and more interesting as the season advances. The following table will show the number of games that have been won, lost, played and to play up to date:— ' NATIONAL ANSOCIATION. The rules governing the championship series.of the National Association allow the contesting clubs to arrauge the dates for playing their championship games to suit themselves, which is done regardless of the regular championship schedule which was made at the opening of the season by the champion- ship schedule committee, thus rendering it almost impossible to keep a correct record of the champion- ship games, as the National Association clubs are al- most daily playing exhibition games with each other. The Springhelds are now even with the Nationals, of Washington, in first position in es won, but are two games behind in games lost, which gives the Nationals the preference of first position. The Holyokes and Albanys ure likewise even in games won, but for the same reason as in the first case the Albanys go above the Holyokes, they haying lost the fewest number of games, The only other change of ponitions being that of the Worocsters going ebove the New Bedtords, The following is a correct list, so far as can: be ascertained, of the championship games up to date:— Pan) A i Mi SiS/5is 5 FS + wap820.0, el SS enn waast sels Sipaaape!

SECTARIAN PROCESSIONS. A Belfast correspondent, writing ten days ago, —"Tho processions in Belfast have commenced, ‘The first one of the season took piace to-day, and, though no serious rioting took place, there was some disturbance. The Belfast Roman Catholic Total Abstinence ciation left for Magherafelt and marched in procession to the terminus with bands, banners, &c, All passed off peaceabiy, and they re- turned this evening. For a couple ot hours before their arrival the streets through which they were to ans Wore crowded, Much exeitement prevailed, and fy prevent rioting numerous bodies of constabulary, both mounted and on foot, were stationed along the route, A@ the procession passed through some of the thoroughfares stone throwing was indulged in both by spectators and the excursionists.

FUNERAL OF JOHN F, SEYMOUR. ec: NO FURTHER LIGHT THROWN ON THE MYS~- TERY OF HIS DEATH—THE WOMAN IN WHITE DISCOVERED, The funeral of Mr. John F. Seymour, who was 80 mysteriously killed in the grounds of the Protes tant Episcopal Theological Seminary, took place yesterday. In the parlor of the seminary services were held at one o’clock in the afternoon, to which only the relatives and friends of the deceased were admitted. The Rev. Drs, Houghton and Buell offi- ciated. Mra, Seymour, widow of the deceased, was sll overcome with grief.. Twelve carriages and the hearse then drove to the “Little Church Around the Corner,” in East Twenty-ninth street, where public services were conducted. The edifice was filled with mourners. Dr, Houghton officiated, assisted by the Rev. Drs. Buell and Shackleford, the jatter of the Church of the Redeemer, The regular service of the Episcopal Chureh was performed. ‘There was no sermon and the services were short, ‘The coffin rested in the centre of church, The pall was of crimson, marked with a purple cross, There were no flowers. On tho way trom the church moved first the pallbearers, six in number, Messrs, H. J. Scudder, J. W. lake, C. Silliman, David Bare pum, Charlies N. Kent and Francis Many then the coffin, followed by Mrs. Seymour, leaning on tho arm of her brother, the bishop. The coffin, a black cloth and velvet casket, lined with white sutin, with oxyaized handles, had # plate with the inscription ;— ? Born June 2, 1818, z JOHN F. SEYMOUR. Died July 8, 1879. PIA SLE once at ‘The remains were interred in the plot of Mra, Seymour’s tather—the late Isaac N. Seymour—in Greenwood Cemetery. Present in the church were @ great many clergymen aud mombers of the Hplsen pal Sisterhood, y strangers visited the church irom curiosity. Joneplr Dorsey, of the Contral Ofice, Detective Josep! orsey, of the called on Captain Ryan, of the Sixteenth inct, during the day, and they togethor visited the sem- inary grounds. ‘Tne detective made a careful surve: ot the piace and surroundings, but remained i. centas to any theory of the case, The ides that Mr. Seymour committed suicide-—although that opinion is still held by a few—is entire); left out of the police working of Abe paretery oon § with very good reasons. The absence of any sign of burned powder on the dead man's vere 4 tl failure to find apy weapon near where the body wag found are convincing facts of themselves, without considering the absence of any known motive on tue part of deceased to take his own life. The adyo- cates of the theory of suicide hint st the possibility ot the removal of the pistol by the unfortunate man’s wife or brother-in-law for the purpose of concealing the true manner of his death, either to avoii the supposed disgrace that would follow such a discov. ery or for pecuniary reasons, as his lite was in- sured, it is ew? for $10,000. There is, how. ever, not the slightest ground for any such belief, and the cause of Mr, Seymour's death is nar- rowed down to accident or murder. If it was ap ac- cident the stray ball, from the direction it took atter entering Mr. Seymour's body, must have conie from an elevation, and by the use of a parlor rifle could easily have been propelled with sufficient force to kill from the window or roof of Aa oF the neighboring houses on Twenty-first stroet, If Mr. Sey- mour met his death at the hands of an assassi whom he encountered on the grounds it is not ar the murderer pocketed his weapon before he fled. He, would most likely have thrown it in the deop grass, aud if it is there it will be found to-day, when the mowing will be continued, The only persons seen on the grounds on the night of the tragedy were @ woman ands man. The former was dressed in white, and was seen to leave about ten o’tlock by two ladies who live opposite. Bhe walked hurriedly, they said, when she passed out of the gate, up Twentieth street, toward th avenue. Tne man followed at a short distance and carried a shawl on his arm. This man, it was thought, might have en- countered \Mr.. Seymour during ‘the latter's ' walk around the grounds. Captain Ryan said last night that be had found the woman in white. She ‘was @ married lady and a resident of the neighbor- hood. Her companion was her son, with whom sho took a stroll througn the seminary grounds. She did not desire to have her name mentioned in con- nection with the case, but considered it her duty to mention the facts to the police in order that they fen not waste time in following up what appeared to a oclew. THE STATEN ISLAND TRAGEDY. FUNERAL OF THE MURDERED MAN YESTERDAY, Tho funeral of George Sisk, who was shot and killed on the morning of the Fourth in front of hia residence at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, by Richard“ Rawlinson, took place yesterday afternoon. Monroe avenue, Tompkinesville, in which the modest frame residence of the deceased is situated, was thronged by hundreds of excitod villagers, Several policemen were required to keep clear a passage way from the house to the sidewalk. The deceased was neatly attired and reposed in a handsomely silver mounted rosewood casket. The floral emblems, which were of various designs, were numerous. No religious services were held at the house, When the funeral cortége started on its way to the cemetery at- tached to St. Mary’s Koman Catholic Church, at Clifton, fully thirty carriages were in line. At the church its pastor, Rev. Father Lewis, per- formed. the regular Roman Catholic | burial ervice, but did not preach any funeral sermon. The greatest excitement continues to pre- ‘vail generally among the inhabitants of Staten Island, It was said yesterday that the members of the Staten Island Boat Club,of which Rawlinson was janitor, had cautioned him against talking to reporters and had arranged among themselves to procure counsel to defend him. It is also hinted that he is a Free Mason, and that strenuous efforts to secure his re- lease at the inquest, which will be held on Wednes- day evening, will be made. POISONOUS MILK. Mr. Thomas Doyle and family, of No. 34 Sackett street, Brooklyn, although out of danger yesterday were still very ill from the effects of the milk which they drank on Saturday morning last. Mr. Doyle said his sufferings at one time were so intense that he prayed for death to re lieve him. His family had always purchased milk for three cents a quart from the same store in Columbia strect, but this was the first time they lad been made sick by it, A white sediment was discernable in the bottom of the kettle after the milk was poured out. James Peppard, the storekceper, when questioned by ® reporter con- cerning thesickness of the Doyle family and other parties mentioned in yesterday’s Henan, sald he would not believe they had been poisoned by milk bought at his store until after it was so de cided by physicians m the Health Depart ment, who had tsken quantitics of the milk’ for analysis, He sold the milk to his customers, he said, for just what it cost him in order to advertise his grovery business and compete with other dealers in milk in tho neighborhood. On Saturday morning he sold over tour hundred quarts to his customers, but stopped disposing of it as soon as he heard of the illness of the Doyles. Mrs. Fannie Kounds, her two children aud Julia Hoffman, all of whom reside in the same use with the Doyle family, and were also taken sick after drinking the mik, were better yesterday. The family of Patrick Gilmartin, ot No. 44° Carroll street, were also better, aud declared by the attending phvsicians to be out of danger, Captain Leavey, of the Tuird pre cinet, in continuing his investigation of the case yes- terday, discovered that Margaret Henderson, thirty. five years of age, and her daughter, tour years of aye, who reside at No, 5686 Hicks strect, also Catharine O'brien, twenty years of ge Mary O'Brien, two years of ago, and Margaret Flaherty, mety yours of rT residing at No, 86 Carroll street, had been taken ill after drinking milk purchased at Peppard’s store. Their symptoms were 4! iwc to those of the Doyies. Yesterday Wr noon their condition was improved. Various the- ories are expressed by the physicians, police and others regarding the cause of the sickness, It is contended by some that the milk was poisoned trom the caus, Others juk that something wae pineed in one of the cans early in the morning, pre- vious to the opening of Peppard’s store, the pure pose of ruining his trade, I'he physic! of the Rreaith Department are engaged in analyzing the milk, and the result of their work is anxiously awaited. GRIME IN TEXAS. [From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, July 4.] Tho Adjutant General of Texas, Willian Steele, has compiled an official list of the fugitives from justice in ‘Texas, from which it appears that these outlaws now number between four thousand and five thou. sand, Of thie number 561 were guilty of murder and 889 had committed grand larceny, That peculiir in- dustry which the law recognizes as horse stealing, and which Judge Lynch, in other localities, often mmarily punishes, is represented by 601 operators, id the fugitive cattle stealers number 541. Hog ‘teuling also appears to have been extensively prace tived, that Lrauch being represented by 169 persons, who doubticss can worry down ham and eggs with neatness and despatch. Bat by far the greeter num. ber of tugitives from Texan justice, as this official record discloses, were of class of men whose offence is characterized as “attempted murder”— men who were pe a im unloading the hip pocket, but somewhat deficien' precision of aim, could shoot, and, aa it could also run an yet away, but could not hit @ vital spot, and wore therefore f to be content with merely eripplii thas man.
