A Reminiseence of General Terbert.
Warrenton, Va, Sept 1.-THE drowning
of General Torbert on the Vera Cruz has
created profound sensation here. He WAS
held in high esteem by our citizens, having
been in command here for some time during
the war, and treating our citizens with great
consideration. On Christmas morning, 1864,
while returning from a move on Gordons-
vile with large force of cavalry, he passed
through Wsrrenton and visited a gentleman
at whose house he had made his headquar-
tiers earlier in the war. Three the Black
Horse cavalry finding out his whereabouts,
made desperate effort to capture him, and
came near carrying out their design, General
Torbett having to leap on his horse
without his stirrups, pursued down the
main street by three oavarymen,
who emptied their revolvers at him. He
often spoke OF this rs the most trying event
OF his war experience, and while consul
general in Paris entertained number of
Warrentonians, who were making the
continental tour, at q handsome banquet A
few days ago he sent his respects, through q
United States naval officer, to Mr. William
M. Spillman, enc of the three cavalrymen
who had him in such serious jeopardy.

Columbus, o., Sept. ll.-Some workmen
early this morning found the dead body of
Kate Grimes, a woman of the town, in the
eastern part of the city with her throat cut
from ear to ear and a bloody knife not far
away. The woman was confirmed drunkard
and it is not known whether she was murder |
or committed suicide. The fact that during the
night some children heard screams in the
neighborhood where the body wa. found,
taken together with the fact that the bloody
knife had all its blades closed when found
together, with evidence of struggle, leads
the coroner to believe the woman was muir
dered. She had lately been living With an
unknown man near the brickysrd.

Milwaukee, Sept. l0.--It has Just become
public gossip here that the Soldiers home
management is short of funds, and is obliged
to run bills about town for the everyday
nece.ariss of the institution. It is further
go'siped that certain persons, high in au-

there has been speculations in government

The Presidential Party Among the
uOrmOns

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. ll.-Despite the
feeling aroused between Genties and Nor
mon over the presidents visit his welcome
to Utah was hearty. Large, enthusiastic
crowds gathered At the Ogden depot and sta
tons this way, with music and banners to
greet the president and the other distinguished
guests. The streets here, from the depot
to the hotel, were lined with people,
among whom were many children.
The president, Secretary Ramsey, General
Sherman and Mrs. Hayes were called out at
Ogden, the gentlemen acknowledging the
courtesy of the people in brief speeches, and
Mrs Hayes by appearing and bowling At the
depot. The president and Mrs. Hayes
showed themselves and shook hands with as
many as possible. Governor Murray, Gem
eraI Smith and committee of citizens met
and boarded the presidents train in Morgan
valley. At Ogden Superintendent Sharp
met it with Utah Central special train,
carrying John Taylor, George Q, Cannon and
several other leading Mormons, including
some Mormons, who for their part presented
fine bouquet to Mrs. Hayes.
After the train was coupled Mr.. Cannon
introduced Mr.. Taylor and the other Nor
mons to the president, and the usual greet
ings were passed. The hospitality Of the
city was not rendered. The people on the
train MINGLED fraternally, and nothing disa-
gre )able occurred. At the depot the party
was met by the citizens reception committee
with carriages and quickly transferred TO thu
Walker house, where an informal reception
was held in the parlor1.
A great crowd collected in the street, and
the president was called out, He said on
another day and under oath circumstances
he would be glad to express at length the
sentiment he was sure all strangers must feel
in coming to this wonderful city. AS it was,
no hoped to be excused if he confined hi n.
self to thanking them heartily for the kindly
welcome and reception.
Secretary Ramsey and General Sherman
we're called and spoke much the same rs the
president had. Mrs. HAYES was presented
and was received with great outburst of
cheers, to which she bowed her response.
The party will visit Camp Douglas to
morrow, hold brief public reception, and
