bis a good reason for taking no official
notice of the death of General Grant he
ought to make it public without delay.
The public heart is a very delicate instrument
to trifle with, and Ohio is hearing

SicGfTiBY Wuitkkv has bought a residence
on Georgetown Heights. Perhaps
he till refuse to accept the property and
jet the Attorney General to give an opinion
setting forth that the Secretary had
enured into no contract to take the home.
Things oi this tort are very elastic in toae
da jr. -
Tilt situation La the nail mills assumes
new and interesting features. It iB now
almost as complicated as the SchleewigHolitein
question of some years ago which
nobody professed to understand. The ImTlLLiatNtsR
indulges the hope that there
miy yet be a settlement fair and satiafictoiy
to all concerned.
Laxgtby explains the-iordly rumpus by
siring that two hot-blooded gallants fell
to lighting over her portrait, and adds,
"thii, however, is nothing to me." Except
a good advertisement, Lily, except a
good advertisement. That is always somethin;
to tho professional beauty. I.mgtry
is her own accomplished advance agent.
Xow it is said that Central Park was not
the choice of General Grant's family, but
t? >0 preesed upon them by the Mayor
of New York that they assented. If this
be true it puts another phase on the matter
and opens the case to disenssion. Unless
the widow desir> s otherwise the old
soldier ought to sleep at the Capital which
he protected and where be lived eight
yean as President. His old comrades
outside oO'etv York seem to be onanimouily
in favor of Washington.
Me. Planus, at Cleveland, claimed to
have been robbed by James Rice. Bice
wa? arrested. Pierce recovered hismon'y,
u<l his interest in the case bavin j vanished,
he also vanished. There being no
vitntse, Rico was necessarily discharged
without a trial. Thepnblic baa some interest
in a case o( this kind, and it was
somebody's duty to hold Mr. Price as a
witness. Rice was entitled to this. He
bad a right to a lair trial, and a right to
vindicate himself of eo serious & charge.
If Mr. Pierce is going to be robbed any
more it ia to be hoped that be will not
choose Wheeling for the eoene of the
operation. This kind of thing is mortifytig.

visitors are in the mountains this mora- y

Only U. 8. Grant, Jr.,one of the General's w
sons, is with tlie family, Col. Fred and
Jesee having left the direction of affairs li<
here to him and the private body-guard. *
A handsome cluster of roses came to the
cottage this morning to be placed near w
the dead General. They will bo replaced tc
by' lilies to-morrow and by other
and freeh flowers each day. This thoughtfal
tribute is due to the detail from U. S. b

Reports which hare been sent out In H
regard to toe condition of Mrs. Grant are ^
unduly alarming. She expects to accora- ^
pany the remains to Albany, and no at
reason is known to the family why ?
she should not do so. Mrs. Grant J
had { net till the last days '
become convinceiLtbat no remarkable hi
cure was to be effected in the General's tli
case, u she had believed, and when his
death occnrred the effect of disappointed id
hope, combined with the natural til

sot yet recovered so as to enable her to cc
mingle aa freelv with the family ea before *1
the General's demise. She is not confined n<
to her bod; on the contrary,sheyesterday
felt that she would like to descend
to the cottage >irlor and view the i?
remains. From this purpose, howevar,
Mrs. Grant was dissuaded by those who
felt that the experience would further &
trouble and depress her. Sho cannot be
said to ba sick nor absolutely prostrated. 8*
There has been a reaction and no unusual of

THE FUN KHA L TRA1X Q
From the Mouutulu Top' to Sar*tt?c?? t*
Arraagt?mt*ne of the Train. 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

Tloct of JIU Burial Being Denlgoated. zi
Mt. McGuoob, July 27.?At this time tl
everything showing; how General Grant *1
i bore himself in his lsst days is of peculiar JJ
. interest. In conversation Dr. Newman tl
related some personal recollcctious of the ?i
General iu his sickness.
' "In looking hack aver his illness," Dr.
' Newman said, "I thick that which is most
[ Ktrikinglr characteristic is the tut that he
> left nothing unprovided for. Be wss just
as comprehensive In arranging for the fa- '
tare when ho would be dead as he was in "
' arranging his campaigns. He even detjg- s

I knelt beside him, and he aaid, 'Doctor, I

"tiaid 1, 'I trust that the prospect of the G

> "'Oh, yea,' said he, epeaUnglnbly.bat p
with the moat entire assurance. In a sab'- ?
sequent conversation he said: :Three 0
tiuirs 1 have been down in the valley of f,
I the ahadow of death,' evidently referring ?
, to the words of the Bsalmiek I said to 3
him, 'What was yonr supreme thought J
' when you supuosad that you were going J1 0,
I His answer was, 'That I had tried T<f lead J
I a good and honorable life; that *a* my '

I in that same connect loo, he said i 'in on*

I that ^beneath me wai^a church.' ^Moet a

17 surprise, he having been brought an

as the only eon in the family who had

ie General's eons, I said I would bapse
him if he were conscious and desired

room aud brought out a silver

eneral about the matter. He opened his
res and said: 'Doctor, I thank yon; i '
id intended to take that etep myself.' 1
he rites of baptism were then performL
It was a most impressive scene."
"Did the General talk much about pube
off&irs In his ticlcneea?" Dr. Newman
as asked. 1
'We had some conversation to while ;
ray the hours about the prospect ot a
ar between England and Russia. He .
ok only a 1 iconic part therein. I don't 1
sow that he expressed any opinion as to I
ie relative merits of the two sides of.the '
introveny, but he always expressed the ,
iKuent return lor wo Xiugusit ??wuu. j
he news of the overthrow of the French j
linUtrv consequent upon the disasters in j
hina, led to some tali about the perma- ence
of the Republic. He expressed his Blief
that it would, stand.- As to
le Eastern question the General exresiod
tho opinion ?that in the ultiiate
settlement Constantinople would
robably be a free city, and Asia Minor,
ayp*, Palestine and the Vailey of the
uphrates would be made protectorates,
e had great hope at tho feast, through
le increase of commercial relations with
le West. He believed that there would
; rapid railroad building in the Kist,
id that the great highway of communiition
would be found to be through the
alley of the Eaphrates, and not the
les Oanal."
"When did tho General first makeup
is mind that he was going to die," asked
ie correspondent
"I think he was impressed with the
ea from the beginning, though sememes
he wa* apparently hopeful of his
timato recovery. 1 recollect that at one
tne. when the papers were full of acmnts
of distreasiog feebleness, he wrote:
am not conscious of any special weakits.'"

It is not mucb, alas, bat U is something,

rhe Gaittlf, In venturing its exposures,
called attention to a bill which was hanging

j usti fled its course by the fear tbat if public
indignation were not aroused, the bilL
would not piss. Since then, alter what
was described in the dispatches as a

Criminal Law Amendment Bill,
uras allowed to go to its secrod
reading in tbat bndy, and we may
now be assured that after a little further
lelay.and the formality ofathird reading,
it will be dnally enacted into law. 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

laws which bad to be abandoned,

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. Tiie
ivil, it was found, Haunted itself in a most
mtrageoua and unblushing manner before
he mis of the nnblic. That horrid
raific which usually courts privacy, and
fLuse devotees might be expected to
ilink Irani tlio liglit u naturally as darkless
dies before toe sun, was there pil ing
ts vocation openly, with no apparent .regard
for either decency or law. 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.
This is, in fact, the particular phase of
English vice which the Americans notices
Irst, last and all the time, He il
compelled to observe it, and only the utuoiit
discretion can save him Irom being
>ften personally humiliated by it. 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 gome ot the 1
niii?6t thoroughfares of London, agenleman
who walks along leisurely at '
ilmrat any honr of day is liable to be ac- 1
rated half a dcien times before be baa 1
jroceeded as many cquares, and in aome :
nstances it is with the greatoat d irti- j
lulty that the importunate leech can be 1

*oU!SC, these pests of tbo sidewalk, who !
bave not hisicated to hunt their prey in !

chich honest folks devote to legitimate '
business, take on a still balder front, and 1
push their trade with an audacity this is <
limply shocking.
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. This dHjjnilty u.e Criminal !
[jtw Amendment removes. The qualify- 1
'nic clause la now left oat, and when the
measure shall became law conviction can
be secured by merely proving the loitering
and importuning. This, it will bj
reen, leaves the natter almost entirely in

are sure to do their duty, and the
>ver?g9 English jury can be equally relied

very numerous. If statistics wen- forthcoming
of the number who are cajoled or

know *hat sin is, much lees have the
strength to resist it, a condition of affaire
would be revealed which would not only
pat our nineteenth century civilisation to
the blush, but Mould mute us wonder
whether after sit England is a Christian
nation. 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

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

ouse and joined the festivities.

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

his room at the hotel. Shortly before the
train arrived he told the hotel people to
