W Mt. McG rkgob, N. Y., July 27.?Mana* ^ ger D. H. Ford, of the Mountain railroad, ftI has to-day determined upon the arrangement of the train that will convey the q remains and family of General Grant from here to Saratoga. The body will be ]e placed on what is known as the observa* cc lion car. This ia a car thirty-five feet long, with standard poets at the corners and sides, which support a*rpoC over ail. > The car is enclosed on ail s des to a hefght of of thrtc feet from the floor, wjtU seats of running lengthwise of the car pn c< each siile. These seats will be removed, te The rear of the car will be entirely open hi and part cf the car will be draped in & mourning. The remains, will bo placed 1 upon the funeral car froq^ 'the rear and will rest in the middle of the car and upon cj the car there will be twenty-eix men at- u tending the remains. Thirteen of them ic will comprise the guard ol honor from the ct U. S. Grant Poet and the other thirteen a will be selectea from the regulars who are K expected liere from Port Porter by order <* of General Hancock. The car bearing the remains will ba attached'directly to the engine, and behind the remains will follow life ordinary pas- , enger coach of the road, in which the family will be accommodated. This latter A bears the name "Eastern Outlook", which el is the point of observation to which Gen- ei eral Grant was last wheeled in bis 0 chair the Monday before he died. T. It is the came car in which p< the dead General ascended the c! mountain just seven weeks before the tt hoar on which bis remains will arrive at tt Saratoga, Tuesday, August 4. If other m cars are attached to the funeral train tbey a will be for the convenience of those moat tt nearly connected in the "conduct of the m obsequies. m Tile train will consume one hour in run- ui mug down to Saratoga from the mountain tt top, being 20 minutes more than the usual qi schedule. The transferof the remains will be made at the Saratoga terminus oi the Mountain road, this being necessary because the vl mountain funeral car is mounted upon ]fl narrow-gauge trucks, while the connect- j ing rosds are cf the usual broad gauge. e METHODICAL IQ-taB LAST.

Fortunately I have a copy of this bill, procured ;wo yean ago, at the time of its passage jy the House of Lords. It was introduced nto that chamber by lord Koseberry, hen a member of the Government, as part >1 the ministerial programme for that ieason. Subiequently, owiuK to the pressure of what he deemed more important natters, Mr. Gladstone threw it aside, for consideration in the Commons at a more ?nveni?fnt time, along with other balfiedged laws which bad to be abandoned, iinen when, until no rndelv shaken hv the itorm which the Qaztlu raised, it reposed i?u.tfulty on the Ubie there, being in lander, ai that paper claims, of site ing he sleep from which there is no awaking, F1KST STgPS TOWARD LEGISLATION. The first steps toward the legislation nntemplated hy this hill were taken eally about tour years ago, and consisted n the appointment by the House of Lords >f a Committee of Inquiry into certain of he more obtrnsivo and deplorable phases >f the social evil. Ruber on the princii!e, this, of setting a thief to catch a thief, f the insinuations of the Qasetle against he British aristocracy, are to be relied ipon 1 But if the peerage of that country nntains, as most people believe, many of he vilest specimens of humanity,'it is tnown to the world that it also contains lorno of the purest and noblest, and judgng them by their fruits as seen in the intendments tbey proposed to the crimnal code, those composing this committee me most assuredly of the latter :lass. Among the discoveries anlounced by their lordships' committee vas one which could scarcely be called a evelation, since j-irtnous people there had ong been familiar with the fact, as they mti also most bitterly deplored it.

So.said :hcse titled investigators, and every oh ervant visitor, equally with the annoyed residents, could bear testimony to the .ruth ol this verdict. WHAT IX AMERICAN WIU. XOTICX.

In our >wn country the evil is largely confined tithindoors. There itexhibitsitself in the nost shameless manner on the streets, ind the work of unholy solicitation goes i >a in broad daylight.

In seeking tbo causes of this disgraceful xradltlon of street morals, a serious defect las found in the law relating thereto, mil a remedy proposed, There wss a itatute malting it an offence to loiter and mportqno pedestrians, botits force was invalidated by a-alauae stipulating that these acts muHSfle committed "to the unoyance" of NAse subjected to them, the difficulty hiving been to get men to w into court ar.iL.?wear they had been utnoyed.

On this subject their lordships . must have felt very strongly, for the . penalty for an offense against one under 1 vcelve years of age is psnal servitude t lor life, or for not less than five years, i at the discretion of the court, with the ? moigmiy ui wnippiug uiruwn m lor good mtuntc. Ttw bill does not ml, however, in tbU stem effort to provide s iron clad protection (or thuse under ? twelve. It throw*, also, a determined , arm of defense around those who occupy the dangerous ground betw een twelve and c sixteen. A social offense to a girl of this e class is to be visited with a penalty siml- [i lar to that provided for the procurer, nor is the fact that consent may have been given to be considered id extenuation, for the assumption of the new law is that girls of that critical age are not competent to decide in such a matter. Further provisions for the protection of those under t sixteen are that persons harboring them c for improper objectaare to bj held guilty of a misdemeanor, and that Justices ol IVaco may grant warrants which will ? authority police officers' to search sns- n peeled houses and to enter such Dlaceo by , fair means or foulat any hour they may , see fit " certified noun. ? The bill further contemplates the estab- /J llshment of what it calla "Certified ? Homfs," to which girls under the age in li question, who have no proper guardian- b ship otherwise, are to be sent by the magistrates for shelter and reformation. These <] names mum ucensea nv one 01 tier h Majesty's principal Secretaries ot State, G and from the (act that nothing U said aa u to an; appropriation (or thia purpO'P, the d presumption is that they will be kept up by private charity. If a girl escapes from n one of tbem, and is found by the police, a ihe is to be brought back at the expense ii of the institution, and is to be kept there ri the full period from the time when she ol went away to the time when the consent- b lng age of sixteen would have been reach- 1< ed. Those conversant with the philan- S thropic impulses of the better classes in tl the great cities of England have no fear d that there will be any delay in providing t< these houses of refuge, and the only won- t! der is that the experiment was not tried ai many years ago. it A wise provision o[ this law is that it tl gives magistrates the power to .exclude * from court during the trial of these un- ai pleasant cases all persons excepting those " immediately concerned?aa officers, wit- ai nesaes, etc. l'bis la certainly in the inter- tl eats of decency. My recollection in, bow- H ever, that at the time the bill was before c< the Lords, the London'press rather gen- h rally opposed this 'clause, aa it did also '< that previously referred to, which author- 1) itea the police to enjer suspected houses o withont further ceremony than a sfarch tl warrant, the contention being that these provisions tended in some way to the L abridgement of Englishmen's inalienable h liberties. But both classes passed, and w have since pasted the Commons.' In re- sc gard to the attitude of the London papers 1 toward this bill, candor compels meto add w that when the measure was under debate tl two years ago, it did not get much support ? from them in any of its features, and was k go bitterly opposed in some of its provi- w ions ss to crests the suspicion that those u great metropolitan dallies, rather than try p: an experiment or commit themselves to a t change, would prefer to have the law left K> as it was, regardless of Iiow many guilty pi escape. u.

We have been paying about 35 el cents more per ton than was paid in the sc Hocking Valley and other districts, and aj in fact IS or 20 cents more thaneis paid in hi the Pennsylvania soft coal districts. The 0I rein in the Massillon district Is not quite is thick as in the Hocking, bqt the miners c) nave told me that they would rather work bi in onr roinea for 50 cents than in the g; former district for 40.

Coat, July 27.?One ot the meet sjnsa ionai murder trials of recent times will b ommenced at the assiies here Tneedaj rhen William Sheekanand David Browne is brother-in-law, will be tried for th mrderof Sheehaa'a own mother, brothe od siatrr, at Castletown Bocbe, sot /a rom here, seven years ago. The bodiei rere discovered at the bottom of a well . few months sinco Slieehan was followei > New Zealand, and broaght here in oos. 'Within the oast few days a start t's sensational confession has been madi y an old man named Dnane, after havinj [ways denied any knowledge of th< rime. At the time olthe atrocious mor era ho was employed as a servant on th( irm belonging to the murderer's mother ibvu 1WI UIBOUK) |IUBIK?WUU Ui U19 i-tru terns to have been the cause ol the mur ere by her son. Duane states that the prisoners com litted the murder with an implement died a griffaun, which is used (or breakig lumpy tnold after plowing, and closelj sembles a cooper's adz. On the ovenini (the murders Tom Sheehau induced hif rother to enter the stable. He was fol>wed by the prisoners, when William beehan struck him two terrific blows on 16 head, which killed him. The murBrers then locked the stable door,, en* nredthe dwelling house, and completed ie work of alsoghter of a poor mothei ad a helpless eister. Hannah was seated i happy domesticity in a Small parlor of] le kitchen. William struck his mothei ith the griflaun. He then threw it away ad .caught her by .the throat, around hich bis arms in iufancy had often clung, id choked her. Browne then took up le griffaun and struck his old playmate, tannah, and knocked her down, also impleting the terrible deed by seising er by the throat. Both victims were dead 1 less than a minute. Duane was parazed with fear, and dared not then inform a the murderers, who asked him to aid iem in removing the bodies to the stable. About 8 o'clock tlie same evening, uane, at Sheehan's request, harnessed a arse to a cart, in which the three bodies ere placed by the murdereni and himilf,wmeh -were conveyed to a distant eld and thrown 'into aa old abandoned ell. During the removal of tho bodies le men were secretly watched by Duane's m, who hod also always denied any nowledge ql the murder until recently, hen Tie, too, made a confession while adergoing penal servitude in the Cork rison. Both father and son say they ept quiet lest they should be charged as lilty of complicity. The most revolting art of this terribW crime is that while le men were removing the bodies, the to sisters of Browne, one of whom Shec n afterwards married, were in the adilning dwelling house dancing to the luaic of a concertina. When the bodies ere disposed of, and the hone retimed i the stable and the side of the cart ashed, the mnrderers went into the ouse and joined the festivities. The Cholera la Spalo.

He > piled boxes and bundles upon it. and telei graphed to Elroy for a posss. At that . place six men boarded the car and proI reeded to smash the box with an axe. At the second blow an opening was made, . through which a man's knee appeared. . A loaded revolver was thrust is, and the 1 question asked, "Are you armed?" There was no answer, andthe queation'"waa repeated with a threat to shoot. At this a sullen "yea" was the response. "Hand out your weapons," was demanded. Two revolvers were passed out through ihe slit The box was then broken open , and a man released, attired only in his underclothes. He was apparently SS i years old and had a sandy mustache. lie was escorted to the lockup and chained to the wall. Subsequent developments showed that the box came from Eau Clair, on Wednesday, to the Black River-Falls, where It was called for by the into eo cleverly captured. The box was taken to his room at the hotel. Shortly before the train arrived he told the hotel people to put iiis boxon'the train.
