DOSAI.DsoN's FATE KNowN-THE REWARD
TO BE PAID-PoOR GRIMwooD's FUNERAL
The Chicago Times of Saturday said
Grinwood's fate is known, but under what
peculiar circumstances it was terminated is
still mystery. and he is at rest in the little
village where he had lived SO long. Nor is
there any further doubt as to the fate OF
Donaldson, for relics of his air ship have been
found about eight miles from the spot where
Grimwood was found. But the body of the
aeronaut is still missing, although
every effort is being made TO
find it. The cruel and COW
ardly intimation that Donaldson may have
thrown Grimwood over the basket. TO save
his own lite, will not be accepted by those
who knew Donaldson. II he was fearless
sdventurer and man with the resolution
of iron In bis make up, he had the heart of
woman, and when the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

his companion with the glare Of ightnins
those who knew Donaldson can very resG1ly
understand that he came dom irod Ms
perch and went out to meet me mutterlngs
of an memorable fate with me hand of his
boy voyager elapsed I In knst OF
his own. That was Donaldson. The jour
nal, with commendable( spirit, announces
itself ready to pay its PETITION of the reward,
500, TO Beckwith. Mr. Fields, OF the hippo
drOme, was in the citI yesterday, anu teie-
graphed to Mr.. Coup for Barnum's decision,
he had offered sos for the body OF one or
botb.-and Bob King had authorized the
discoverer of either body to draw on him for

be Forthcoming shortly. This afternoon, at
O'Clock, meeting of the reporters OF the
various papers of the city Will be held IN the
editorial rooms of the Journal to make suit
able expressions for the memory OF Grim
wood. A special from Yorkville, ILL.,, TO the
same paper gives account of
GRIMwooD's FUNERAL.
The reception and burial OF the remains
of Newton Sanger Grimwood, which oc-
Cured this morning, brought together 500
or GOO people, notwithstanding the uncer.
IaiDty attending the arrival, and the short
notice given the public. The remains ar
rived at Bristol station on the 10 \. ". pas
senger train. in charge OF VIM. GrimwOod
father of the deceased. As the train drew
up at the platform, ex posing the huge rough
box that inclOsed the remains, the
horrid reality of the untimely ending
OF one who was university known and
loved in this community, instantly flashed
upon the minds of the congregated, and
strong men and women gave unre-
strained expression TO their grief, through
tears ana sobs. The scene for few minutes
was deeply touching. As soon as it could
De QOle, INC p1li-USdItIS, SlN young bCNOOl-
mates and neighbors of Grimwood, lifted the
remains from the express car to the hearse,
the Kendall cornet band meanwhile playing
a solemn dirge. AS the train moved on. the
sad procession also moved forward for the
cemetery, one mile south. e.. r. Wood, OF
Yorkville, acted as marshal, and by
the time the head OF the procession
reached the burial place the rear was but
fairly out of town. At the grave the
services were intensely solemn and i'm
pressive. When the box containing the re-
mains was placed before the open grave, on
the bier, a life-size portrait OF Young Grim
wood, in India ink, was placed upon it,
wreathed in in fragrant flowers, a tribute
FROM Callie Springer, of the Yorkville
News and the vast cOncOurse passed in
single file to look upon it. Few passed
with dry eyes, and when all had passed and
the poor boys invalid mother, on the arm
other husband, approached the box, leaned
down upon il, fondled it as if it were the
body of her favorite son, and murmured his
name repeatedly, there was manifestation
of the profoundest sympathy. The York
vile News issued an extra last evening, an
nOunciDg the expected arrival of the corpse,
and giving the programme of the burial ard
funeral. The funeral sermon will be
preached by Rev. o. p. Bestor, at the Bristo
