Gen. Grant Buys New York House.

New YORK, August 1l.-General
Grant bought, Monday, Of Cornelius
W. Luyster, the builder, the large
and elegant house, No. 3 East Sixty,
sixth street. This is the last of a
lot of seven houses built by Luyster,
and finished a year ago. 1t has a
front of thirty-four feet, being much
larger than any other of the seven.
It is finished in hard woods. The
mantels are of the most expensive
kinds, and the rooms are very large
and costly.
General Grant inspected the house
Tuesday, August 2, and was SO well
pleased with it that Friday last he
brought Mrs Grant, his son, and
daughter-in>l to see it. Mrs.
Grant was delighted, and the transn
fer was made Monday, the price
being 100000.
W. II. Luyster, brother of the
builder, said this evening " My
brother was offered $4,000 for the
house year ago, but he asked more
for it. He had always been a DEM
ocrat, but he voted for Garfield, and
when he was elected he Immediately
put the price up to 100000"
"Why did he let Grant have it for
$9O,O0O?"
"It may have been for a puff"
The house is elegant; even the
basement is laid in marble tiling.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
An Engineer Killed and Several
Others Seriously Injured.

OGDENsBURG, n "A terrible ac-
cident occurred on the Grand Trunk
Railway at 3 30 o'clock this morning.
which resulted in the instant death
of the engineer, and serious wound
ing of the fireman, baggageemaster,
two express messengers and various
injuries to number of passengers.
The train was the 10 p. m. express
from Montreal to Toronto, and con
sisted of six Pullman sleepers, four
first and second class cars, a postal,
express and baggage Car. The cars
were well-tilled with returning eX-
cursonists from Montreal, who were
nearly all asleep. The train arrived
at Prescott junction on time, and
the Ottawa sleeper was then attach
ed to it. After leaving Prescott there
is a down grade, and as soon as the
train was going fast an obstruction
Was encountered, and the loco
motive jumped the track, carry
ing tender, baggage, mail, express,
smoking and two passenger cars
with it. They ran on the ties fully
| q thousand yards, when the engine
went down an embankment, the
tender passing by, together with the
| express car, and landing on the
| other side of the track. The bag
gage car went still farther on and
the body was thrown off along side
the fence. In fact, every car except
the sleeper were thrown upside
down. The express car was smashed
INTO kindling wood, while nothing
remains of the tender but few
pieces of iron. 1t is truly won-
derful how the passengers ESCAPED
instant death. When the PASSENGERS
recovered from their fright, search
was made for those who occupied
the forward cars. Engineer John A,
Haworth, of Montreal, was found
with his arm around the whistle OF
the locomotive, having blown it
twice before he was killed. The fire
man, Taylor, of Montreal, was dis
covered in a field alive, but insensi-
bic. Robert Scarlet, of Montreal,
baggage-master, was also in
sensible, but soon recovered.
| His shoulder was dislocated and his
arm sprained. How Express
Messengers Arthur King, of Toron-
to, and William Mackenzie, of Ham
ilton, escaped with their lives is a
mystery. Their cars was crushed
to splinters, and Mackenzie, though
injured himself, rescued his partner.
Both were injured internally. The
second-class passengers were badly
shaken up. They escaped through
the windows of the upset cars A
French woman threw her two cbll-
dren through the window, first
breaking it with her hands, cutting
herself severely. S. P. Hair, Of
Cotton, Mich, was injured in the
back and internally. Others sus-.

Confessions OF q Murderess.
Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.

WAsHINGToN, August 1.-THE sen
sation attending the discovery of the
murderess of the young children
killed near here last Saturday is as
great as followed the discovery of
the crime. To-day the old negro
woman, already arrested on suspi>
cion, sent for members of the police
force, and made the following con-
fesslon:
"I was going along the path. 1t
was not God Almighty, but it was
the devil that put it in my head
to kill them. [ could not help
killing them. [ did not do it
with the ak nor the Wash-board,
but with piece of wood
as big as my arm, and about eighteen
inches long. The children were run
ming about the yard Of the house. I
struck the one with the long hair
first, but [ don't know how many
times I hit her, [ saw the AK in the
wood pile after hitting them with lie
stick What [ killed them for ]
don't know. The devil got into me,
so that I could not help doing it.
picked the stick up in the road. !
never told any one about it bat you
and Mr.. Archie White. [ believe it
has worried me some. [ have told
the truth to you white people. It is
the truth from my heart. [ threw
the stick away down by the wood.
pile.
It now appears that it was her at
tempt to shield herself after the
murder that led to her discovery
She went up from her house on the
farm to the main residence; while
there she killed the children and
then left unobserved. Afterward
she went back and carried a wash
board she had borrowed with the
evident idea of having a reason
ready for a visit to the house, and
on this trip she wss discovered
She is vicious looking woman
and has long been regarded as an
unruly character. There was no
reason for the crime. She had had
no difficulty whatever with the fami
ly, and the children knew her and
showed liking for her.
She is now in jail. The children
killed were girl and boy, one three
and the other six years old.
