After the funeral services the funeral party will take a special train over the Pennsylvania railroad to Phila delphia, where the interment will tako place In the Handall family vault In Laurel Hill cemetery. Tlie Story or Ills Life. Bamuel Jackson Randall was born in Philadelphia, Oct 10, 1S2S, and his career through life justifies the assertion that he was born a statesman. Ho received a good loadeinlo education and pursued his studies with the intention ot devoting his life to mercantile pursuits. After he bad tlnished his studies lie obtained a pordtlou in the oountlug room of a mercantile establish ment, but in a short time bis work became Irksome and he conceived a dist iste for the duties of u merchant. Ills father, the Into Josiah Handall, was one ot the nctiva Dem ocrats of Philadelphia, and he Inspired his ion with a desire to enter political life, which feeling increased in intensity ss he attended conventions and meetings until hu finally adopted It as the calling most suited to his tasta. In 1830. accompanied by bis father, he went to Cincinnati, and assisted it the convention that nominated Buchanan for president. Mr. Handall was elected u member of the city council of Philadelphia, which position be held for four years, familiarizing himself with city politics, and making for himself acquaintances aud l reoord which were afterwards dlstlnod to push forward his political fortunes. In 1S5S be was elected to the Pennsylvania stato lenate, of which he soon became tho most sonspicuous member. A Ilefemler of tile Union. When the civil war broke out, he took strong grounds in favor of tho maintenance of the Union, and while he differed with tho administration on many point of method, ho was one of the moat steadfast supporters of in uudlvided country to the end. He was it that time a member of the First troop, Philadelphia City cavalry, and volunteered with his command uuder President Lincoln's tall for troops and served the ninety days, tn IStii be was elected to congress from the Third Pennsylvania district and has been re-elected to each succeeding session, serv ing continuously since that time. In 1875, when the Democrats gained control ot the house for the drat time since ISfll his friends tried hard to have him elected speaker, mowing that hs possessed the qualities so saentlully tit for tho position. The party ;oucus, however, decided against him nnd n favor of Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana. The Tlltlen-IIayea Controversy, Then came what was probably tho most iellcate and trying period of Mr. Randall's political career. In 1870 ha was elected rfK-akir at a time when tho dispute about the Vlldeu-IIayes presidential election ex sited congrsss to a condition bordering on fury and almost brought the country to the rerge of another olvil war. Busplcion was to keen that ordinary parliamentary cour tesy to a political opponent was the cause of severe party criticism, aud for the last mouth of the session the speaker had to ex. ert all his ability and strain to the utmost bis Influence with his party to steer the ship of state safely. Through that exciting or deal he passed with pronounced success, ex pediting in a marked degree the settlement of the exed quistlou which agitated th country. Ho was ro-olected speaker for the two following tsruis, ijrvluj in that position until March 3, ISol, whan tha Republicans took tho liouso for u Unit. Wiion tho Dem ocrats agalu obtained control of tliu house the divisions in that party on tho revenue lsaues led to his defeat for the rpi-akershlp and to the election of John O, Carlisle, But Mr, Handall alwuys retained tho command ing position his talents hud v. on for him aud grow In reputation. As ipjaker he was not tender in the administration of blsohica, lie was a commander aud ruled the house with a heavy hand. Kroin the first Mr, Randall was recognised In congress as a power, and dually he became the recognised leader of his party. Ills Itlgli Tariff Attitude. no served in turu 011 all the important committees the coinmttteo ou rules, ou baukuig, on elections and ou appropriations, of which lalWr cuuiniitUia bo was tho chair v 1 vv, nrwrnisT . Tim . v-.... .r, . - , mm mmmu man anil iiomtimtmg spirit when uls party was In iwer. For tho past few years tho stand Which M . Randall had assumed on tho tariff qu.isiio.i gradually alienated him from tho majority of his party, both stato and nitlonals ait 1 although 110 man Im peached hl (1 lollty or sincerity to tha prin ciples of iliuiocracy, this separation from his nsioclatjs had uudoubtedly greatly welgbod upon his mind, nud added to the other drains upon his physical system. In appenrancj Mr. Randall was what might be called a pjuullar mm. His countenance was rather bjyUh, but singularly winning and attractive. His feot and hands were small nnd slnpjty, hit hi had a way of drnwlng up his left shoulder that made one of his arms nppoir longor than the other. In walking ha stepped out briskly, with shoulders a llttlo stooped, and a gait that wasrntherslminbllng. Hut though his en semblo ivai striking, his dress added to thi oddity of his appoaranoe. For mora than twenty-flvo years ho wore the saiuo style of clothing, nud no ono over seemed to have seen him In a new suit of clothes. A cut away coat thrown loosely back, baggy trousers a trllhj bunchy at the knees, nnd n low cut vest, nil with a tlngo of ago about them j Immaculate linen, broad comfortabla shoes, uud a remarkable hat completed his attlro. He tiled n I'oor Jinn. Mr. Randall was a poor man. lie was twenty-eight years a member of tho hous.i yet no one has ever b.en found to reflect even in tho slightest degree upon his integ rity or honesty. He was probably poorer iupuraewuou be died than when became to Washington away luck In tho Thirty eighth congress. He owned the modost residence in which he lived on Capitol hill. It is situated on C street and Is not worth more than tS.OJJ. The modest dwelling represents tho savings of nearly half a lite tlm?. Ho inula very little money outside of his silary, and, indeed, had very little tlmo to spire from his public duties. I"roof Aj-ntnst tho Lobby's Temptations. Tho stories gleaned from tho lobby as to unsuccessful attempts upon bis virtue as a legislator ure only unparalleled by the storiis told by his friends as to the uuyleld lng front which ho always presented to tho petition of friendship when it ran counter to his sen-,e of public duty. A lawyer who was his bosom frioud tolls that he carried $10, 000 In his pockets for months, having under taken to give It to Randall as a retainer in behalf of a certain corporation, but could never muater the courage to give it to him or even broach tho subject. Ou one occa sion a wealthy blanket manufacturer, know ing that Randall was a Door man. and lmv. lng a profound admiration for him, sent him a check for 1500 Bay lug that as an obi friend and coustltueut ho believed It his duty and privilege to make this subscription to help pay his election expenses. The check was promptly returned with a letter so curt that I it would havo mortally offended any ono who did not make allowanco for Randall's Infirmity of temper in this respect. When asked once If he did not carry his independ ence or Indifference i.i such matters to an extreme, he replied! "No.thero Is no middle , ground in sucb matters. I draw tho Hue at tho beginning." His comparative poverty ia a monument to uis sterling Integrity. Mr. Raudill scorned a publio inun who appoluted any of his own relatives to office. Ills brother wanted a European consulship, aud ho could have secured it for him, for be was close to the administration at the time. But Mr. Randall sturdily refused and did the same thing with other relatives. At tho same timo no man was moro loyal to his friends than he. Ills Itemarkable Reticence. One of Mr. Randall's peculiarities was his romarkable reticence ubout himself and his affairs. About twolvo years ago, wben bis name first began to be prominently men tioned In connection with tho presidential nomination of tho Democratic party, a well kuown newspaper correspondent who wanted to compile his biography was sur prised to find no published data available. Ho sought Mr. lUudall aud a.ked him for some of tho details of his early life, tolling him the purpose for which he deslro them. Mr. Rundall told him, iu his blunt w ay, that be would find all that was worth know ing about him in the congressional direc tory, Tho correspondent consulted that reposi tory of tho autobiographies of statesmen and was surpriseil to Ilnd that while tho records of congressmen hardly known out side of theirown district contained between 500 aud 600 words, less than 100 were em ployed to chronicle the record of the man who was the leader of the bouse. As another lustunce of his reticence, it is related that just after the famous Oak View conference, where President Cleveland outlined hismes sogo to Mr. Randall, a porsonal friend asked him what ho bad heard nbout it. "I did hear," was Mr. Randall's laconic reply. "that thoy got as far as frca whisky." To Mrs. Randall bo was singularly devoted. Iu July, 18b8, Mr. Randull was suddenly takeu seriously ill in Washington with hem orrhage of the stomach. During tho previ ous throe months lie had undergone several very severo and trying surgical operations In Philadelphia, which greatly impaired his constitution. The hemorrhage developed Into inflammation of tho bowels and his condition rapidly grew worse. He never fully recovered from this attack. By the death of Representative Keiloy Mr. Handall was entitled to succeed him as the "father of the bouse" by reason of long, est continuous service. It may be said of him that he died, in the harness a publio mau absolutely without a stain. Futally Shot in I lie Moutli. New York, April 111. Frank Witte re sides at avs Kast Tenth street with lili wife. Philip Conger formerly boarded with Witte, but tho latter became Jealous of Conger's attentions to his wife and put him out of the bo'iso three or four days ago. Conger retum;d to Witte's houae and fatally shot him hi the mouth. Conger was arrested. A Count of No Account. Pllu.ADEi.nilA, April 14. Giuseppe Ca rusl, known as the Count Dl Montercole, was rearrested immediately upon his release from prison Saturday. The charge upon which thesecond arrest was made wus crimi nal libel, made against him by Frederick Ilausmau on behalf of his niece, Virgiiila Knox, the count's wife. The latter was not present, she being confined to her lied suffer ing from prostration, caused by tho slander ous attacks made ujion her character con tained In a circulur distributed nbout the streets of Philadelphia by the count. Mrs. Josephine Knox, tho mother of the count's wife, appeared as a witness against the prisoner. Bhe testified that the charges con tained In the circular against her daughter were absolutely false; that her daughter had seen the defendant distribute the circu lars in the streets of Philadelphia, nnd that he had harassed and oppressed her slan dered offsprlifg until she was In bodily fear of him.
