Have the citizens of Pennsylva

porations are bound to respect?
The Democrats of Virginia have
nominated General Fitzhugh Lee,
the great rebel cavalry leader, as
their candidate for Governor.
General Hancock ha been ad
vised that 200,000 members of the
Grand Army are anxious to partici

The New York Herald of Satur
day last in its financial article says :
" We have the best reasons for be
lieving that the transfer of the South
Pennsylvania and Beech Creek rail
roads to the the Pennsylvania com
pany is as good as made."
Canada deals with rebels in a very
different manner from that pursued
in this country. Kiel, the leader of
the late rebellion, has been tried for
conspiracy and high treason, found
guilty, and sentenced to be hung on
the 18th of September next
Governor Patti.'on has issued
his proclamation declaring August
8th a legal holliday, and recom
mending a general cessation of bus
iness throughout the State, as a tes
timony of sorrow for the loss in J
death of Geneml Grant, whose re
mains will be buried on that day.
It is said that more applications j
have been made to General Hancock
by military and civic bodies, for
places in the funeral cortege of Gen
eral Grant, than can be placed in j
the ten miles between city Hall and
the place of interment Request '
has therefore been made that only a
limited number from each be pres
ent General A. L. Russell, Secretary
of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania under Governor Johnston and
Adjutant General of the State under
Governors Curtin and Geary, died
some two months since at Monte
video, Uruguay, to which place he
was appointed consul by President
Hayes. General Russel was a native
of our neighboring county of Bedford,
and was well known and esteemed
by many of our citizens, for his gen
ial disposition and great personal
worth.
In the light of present events, the
object of the last Legislature in re
fusing to pass the anti-discrimination
bill becomes very apparent As
earl y as January last negotiations
were pending for the purchase of the
South Penn and Beech Creek roads
by the Pennsylvania railroad, and
of course, in anticipation of having
a monopoly of the carrying trade of
the State, that monster corporation
did not want any restrictions placed
upon its present or prospective
freight charges. The questien rap
idly looming up for solution is
whether the Pennsylvania railroad
or the people shall control the legis
lation of the State.
.A nuriujn rem irruij, ui.iu.- iu
impose on the public, in advance of
the genuine work, a book purport
ing to be General Grant's memoirs.
Such unconscionable depravity is al
most past belief The book which
the General wrote while struggling
with the pangs of his dire and fatal
disease was almost the only thing
of value he was able to leave his
wife, and the profits from its sale
will be the principal source of sup
port for her declining years. The
attempt to rob her of this is mon
strous, and every person contemplat-
ing a purchase of General u rant s
memoirs should be on their guard
against the spurious work which
will doubtless be offered for sale
throughout the country.
It has been decided by tbe family
of General Grant that Riverside
Park, New York, shall be the place
of his buriaL
The spot selected is on an elevated
point in the Park, which is in the
Northern part of the city, on the
bank of the Hudson river, and is
about ten miles from the city HalL
Saturday next August 8th has
been fixed lor the funeral. The re
mains will be brought from Mount
McGregor to Albany on August 3rd
and will lie in Btate in the capitol
nna daw- nn tha ISIS t.hv will Ka
taken to city Hall, New York, where
tae? will again lie in state until noon
of Saturday when the funeral will
take place. General Hancock has
-charge of all the arrangements, and
it is expected that the funeral cor
tege will be the largest and most
imposing everee-m in this country.
The South Pennsylvania railroad
has become a mere 6huttle-cock in
the hands of the stock jobbers, and
everything given to the public re
garding it is intended to effect the
price of the stock of tie various rail
roads in any way concerned in the
huge deal now being negotiated be
tween Vanderbiit and the officers of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Vander
biit has betrayed the interest of the
parties concerned with him in the
construction of the South Pennsyl
vania, by selling out the road to a
purchaser whose deliberate Inten
tion is to ruin their investment by
declining to finish it, and apparent
ly the only thing left for them to do,
is to save a total loss of their invest
ment's by making the best termB
they can with the purchaser. This
condition of affairs has caused per
plexity and doubt along the entire
line of the road, and most of the
contractors are relaxing their ener
gies and reducing their forces, not
knowing what a day may bring
forth. It the deal is consummated,
it will doubtless become the subject
by all investigators of the principal
law officer of the State, and a mul
titude of suits by the owners of
real estate, from whom deeds for the
right of way have been attained in
consideration of the road being built,
will follow. But for all these wrongs,
and the prospective litigation the
stock jobbing railroad magnates
care but little so only their" pockets
are filled, and the much feared com
petition from a new road is headed
off.
The fcew York and Philadelphia
papers assert in the most positive
tsrms that the great railroad dicker
by which the South Penn roaJ pass
es into the hands of the Pennsyl
vania road, and is to be abandoned
in its unfinished condition, is an ac
complished fact, and that the bar
gain is to be signed, sealed and de
livered during this month. We have
no means of testing the truth of this
statement but it is noticeable that
the usual slock jobbing tricks are
resorted to, to influence public sen
timent Daily announcements are
made that certain stock jobbers have
parted with their holding to Mr.
Vanderbiit, and the next day the
assertion is denied by the party al
leged to have made the sale. This
is done with the purpose of scaring
those who have not parted with their
stock into rushing into Vanderbilt'e
net, for fear of being left, and indi
cates that that gentleman has not
yet secured enough of the stock to
give him a sufficient control of the
corporation to hand it over to his
customer. In the cunt of the brok
ers, .Mr. underwit is trying to cov
er his shorts. If he succeeds in this
monster gambling operation what
then? The Pennsylvania railroad
will virtually be a monopoly, de
creeing that there must be no com
petition in the carrying trade, with
power to exact such rates from the
people as will make large returns on
its largely watered stock. This pro
posed absorption of one parallel
and competing railroad by another
is in direct contravention of the con
stitution of the State, and it is to be
presumed that the proper authority
will intervene to prevent it That
which cannot be done directly can
not be done indirectly.and the courts
will hardly permit stock jobbers to
evade, or put their own interpreta
tion npon the charter of the people's
rights. We conclude, therefore, that
although "Barkis is willin'" the
deal between the railroad magnates
is not yet, and is not likely to be
eventually consummated.

purchase of the painting of General
Grant by LeClere. It has been in
the possession of the Calumet club
tinos it was executed, and will se

it is the only likeness of himself
which he considered good. It was

before the death of the artist

How the
Dead General's
I)rc fd.
Body
Mt. MoGrhgr July 26! At 5:15
this afternoon a train of three can,
pulled by one engine and pushed by
another, hauled into and stopped at
the depot From the rear allighted
thirty-tight men of Battery A, Fifth
Artillery. They had been sent by
General Hancock from Governor's
Island to form part of the guard
about the cottage, and the officer in
command wasBrevet Colonel W.
B. Beet. The men ' were atonce
marched to the camping ground
near the eastern lookout.
The car next the engine was the
observation car, in which the re
mains of General Grant will be
borne to Saratoga. From this car
stepped Undertaker Merritt his son
and a representative of the firm that
made the casket in which General
Grant is to be interred. The cas
ket was then removed from the car
and placed on a light lumber wagon
and taken to the south Bteps of the
cottage. The casket, in its heavy
oaken 6hipping-box, was carried up
the steps and into the rear parlor of
the cottage, which is divided by
heavy curtins from the room in
which the dead General lies. The
heavy nickel-bound box wag open
ed and the casket removed and
borne to the next room, where it
was placed beside the remains. Un
dertakers Harrigan of Albany ; Sul
livan of New York, and C. E. Ben
nison, of Boston, the two latter be
ing the embalmers, then attended to
the practical details ef transferring
the remains to the final receptacle.
The New York undertakers, Harri
son the General's servant.and Henry
the nurse, were present It was
found that the hardening process
that results from embalming bad be-
run. and the embalmers expressed
the belief established by precedent
that the body would remain in its
present condition without change
for at least six months. Harrison
was permitted to aid in the final
preparation of the body as far as
possible. A suit of black broad
cloth was placed upon the remains,
the coat being a Prince Albert. A
white linen standing collar circles
the neck, and a black silk scarf is
tied in a plain bow at the throat
Harrison also adjusted a pair of low
cut patent-leather slippers on the
dead General's feet when they had
been incased in white stockings.
Gold studs are fixed in the shirt
front, and plain gold buttons in the
cuffs. When the remains had been
finally attired and placed within the
casket the double breasted coat was
buttoned closely from top to bottom.
The right hand was laid across the
breast, and the left hand was dis
posed in an easy position by the
side.
Colonel Fred Grant at this point
entered the apartment. He ap
proached the casket where it rested
beneath the black draped canopy,
and, leaning above it some mo
ments, studied the face of his father
in silence. Then, taking in his own
the right hand of the General, Col
onel Grant placed upon the third
finger a plain gold ring,und then re
placed npon the breast the still,thin
hand. Before turning away the
Colonel drew forth a small packet
of mementoes and placed them in
J the breast-pocket of the coat Hav
j ing performed these last direct per
sonal othces Colonel Grant retired,
and those in charge dropped the
heavy plate-glass top of the casket
in place, and the cisket was 6eaied
bv the turning down of sixty screws
that press the glass down into its
fitting, which thus renders the cas
ket air-tight. And so this evening
the General's remains lie covered
with an American flag. An incan
descent lamp sheds a mellow light
about the heavy canopy, and the
nag covered casket beneath is in
shadow and rest until the day of re
moval. In the roomand beside it the
men of U. S. Grant Post are on
watch : the members of Wheeler
Post have their vigil upon the ver
anda, and outside are the "regulars'
who tirelesslv tramp the beaten
paths over the pine-needles under
the trees about the cottage.
A detachment of a light battery
numbering twenty-four men from
Fort Adams. Newport R. I with
four field-guns, limbers and ammu
nition, arrived on Saturday. To
this company will fall the duty of
finTg salutes on Monday and 1 ues
day, and no more regulars besides
them will be sent here.

Tbe Ring and the Meinentoea.
There has been considerable spec
ulation and consequent curiosity as
to the mementoes that Colonel Grant
placed with the body of the Gener
al, and the family have decided to
give to the public the exact facts in
connection therewith, and these are
as follows : The ring that was plac
ed on the finger of the General after
death was a ring that Mrs. Grant
had given to him many years ago.
As his sickness proceeded the ring
became too large for the finger, and
the General kept it in his pocket,
answering Mrs. Grant's inquiries as
to its whereabouts by the response
"Oh, I have it safe in my pocket"
After his death the ring was found
where he said he had placed it It
was Mrs. Grant's desire that this
ring should go to the grave with
him, and her wish was carried out
by the Colonel. The little package
that was placed in the pocket of his
coat, about which there had been so
much mystery, has an origin even
more simple than that which indu
ced the placing of the ring npon the
finger. This package contained, af
ter all, only a lock of Mrs. Grant's
hair and a little note acknowledg
ing the receipt of the letter that was
to be delivered to her after his
death, an affectionate farewell and
the expression of an earnest hope
that tbev would soon meet again.
In Stare at Albany.
Aluany, July 30. General Carr,
who will command tbe military di
vision of the procession here, has
requested the Third Division of the
National Guard, comprising about
2000 men, to take part in the cere
monies. The work of constructing
the catafalque in the State Street
vestibule of the Capitol was begun
to-day. Electric light wire and
standards to hold the state's battle
flags were placed in position. It is
expected that from 5000 to 7000
persons an "hour will view the re
mains, and, in all, 100,000 persons
are expected to pass through the
corridors.
In the funeral procession the Al
bany Burgesses' Corps will probably
be selected as the military guard of
honor, lbey performed the same
service in the Lincoln procession, in
1865. Mayor Banks to-day invited
the mayors of the twenty-three cit
ies of the State to attend the ser
vices as the guests of the Common
alty of Albany, and he baa also
volunteered to be surety for tbe sum
needed to meet expenses until the
city can make, necessary provision.

ALL CREEPS INVITED.
Though the early training and re
ligioua proclivities of General Grant
were toward Methodism he possess
ed great cathjlicity of spirit and
manifested this very frequently dur
ing his sickness in several of his
pencil talks. In harmony with bis
broad and catholic spirit it has been
decided to-day to invite representa

Washington, July 30. The Pres

Grant to select tbe pall-bearers for
General Grant's funeral, recently
telegraphed her to know if she had
any preference or suggestions to

reply from her to-day by telegraph,
saying that it was her wish that he
should name the pall-bearers and
that the only suggestion 6he would
make was that in case any promi
nent Union officer like General
Sherman or Lieutenant General
Sheridan be selected, a lending Con
federate officer, like Gentral John

Narrow Kacape of a Farmer From Be
ing Eaten to Death.
DavtojO July 3Gi--Mr. Isaiah
Borncrat, a farmer livirj near Cham-
benburg, a small country village a
few milea from ; here,5 had a mostJ
wondertol experience to-daT, nar
rowly escaping being killed by ants.
He was picking blackberries in a
wild patch of undergrowth in a
deiwe wood, when suddenly he dis
turbed millions upon millions of
.Jarsilack4mJt.bejJKerender
a thin covering of earth, which he
stepped oi and almost instantly
they crawled tip his pantaloons' legs
"d when be tried to knock them
off showed fight Before he could
get out of the heavy growth of brash
he was covered from bead to foot
with the pestiferous ants. They bit
him and crawled into bis nose, ears
and mouth. He yelled for help, but
soon became blinded with the myr
iads of ants on bis head and face,
and before he reached the edge of
the wood fell helpless to the ground,
utterly at the mercy of the ants, and
was only saved evidently from death
by the timely arrival of bis brother.
The insects were the common black
of a very large size. Burncrat was
bitten by them all over the body, and
while very sore . it is thought, pro
viding the bites are not poisonous,
will recover. The case is without a
precedent in this section of the coun
try, and it is believed had not aid ar
rived when it did the ants would
have not only killed but eaten their
victim.
Our DarOng Maud.
Cleveland, July 30. Maud S
went a mile this afternoon over the
Glenville track in 2:08!. Her time
by quarters was 0:322, 1:04 and
1:35!.
When Maud S. appeared to-day
to beat her record, the track was in
fair condition. - There bad been
heavy showers during the night, but
the sua and a half a dozen drags
improved the track as the day wore
on. No pools were sold, but private
betting wa-t about $25 to 83 that the
mare would fail. Bair jogged her
around the track and then gave
her a warming up mile, doing it in
2:281. When she was called out
for the second attempt, John Spian
drove a runner hehind her. He
held a watch in his hand in order
to post Bair as to the speed he was
making. Maude S. went the quar
ter in 32 seconds, but at the quarter
went up and Bail took her back.
Ou the next at temp she reached the
quarter in 32, the half in 1:04., the
next quarter was trotted in 31, the
fastest one of the mile. Coming up
the stretch the., strain appeared to
tell . on. Jier, and she responded
quicklyj dashing under the wire at
a treuehdou pace, making the last
quarter in 331, and the mile in
2:08i. A wild scene followed the
announcement. .
Toniitflo in i'emiwj Ivunia.
Norristown, July 30, 1885. This
afternoon, three miles west ol Louis
dale, a black cloud suddenly assum
ed a funnel shape, descended to tbe
south and advanced from west to
east with a rapid whirling motion.
Below Telford it tore the roof from
a building belonging to Leonaid
Smith. It next took off part of the
roof of Samuel Detwiler's barn,
wrecked his wagon house complete
ly and demolished .three wagons,
scattering their fragments far and
wide. His house was badly damag
ed. Cornelius Fernley bad his barn
completely unroofed, part of tbe
roof torn from his house and a doz
en trees uprooted.
The barn of Silas Dress was part
ly unroofed, his wagon house blown
down and a wagon and a plough de
molished, tbe latter being carried
one hundred yards. Twenty of his
finest apple trees and several other
large trees on his place were blown
down. J hree stacks of grain were
overturned and scattered, some of
the sheaves being carried a quarter
of a mile. A path twenty feet wide
was ploughed through a neighbor
ing cornfield, the growing corn being
torn to shreds.
Sherman JnatlAea Riverside. ,
New York, July 29. General
Sherman, who ia here to attend the
funeral, te-day gave tbe explana
tion of why he thought New York
had been given preference over
Washington as a place of BuriaL
"The Grant family will all con tin
ue to live in New York. The boys
can t go to Washington to : live.
What i3 there to be found there for
them ? They don't expect and can't
expect to be congressmen or sena
tors. They couldn't accept clerk
ships. What else is there in Wash
ington ? If Grant's remains were
buried there they would seldom, or
bever set his grave. The mother
will remain with the boys. She
could not go to Washington to live
alone. Buck Grant is tied down on
liia farm in New Jersey, nt Morris
town. Jesse and Fred are to stay
in New York: They want their fath
er's torjb here. I think that is the
feeling of the family, and that, wlien
the country cornea to know of it.the
selection will be honored as reason
able. '
