which the dead General lay. The doors o,
the cottage were closed. The shutters. up
stalrs were fastened and the members oI
the family were scarcely seen during the
day except as they went almost silently
from the cottage up through the grove on
the ridge to luncheon and dinner in the pri.
vate room at the hotel. Between 4 and s
o. clock deputation from GoNernor Hill
called upon Colonel Fred Grant, and ten.
dered him the State Capitol building at Al
bany for
TIE LYING IN STATE
Tor the Generals remains. The gentlemen
were informed that the plans for the obse-
ques were at the time SO indefinite that
nothing could be said in reply, but the
courtesy was frankly Acknowledged. Soon
after General Beale OF Washington, one oi
General Grants warmest personal friends
called to tender Mrs. Grant the use OF his
house in Washington during the stay of the
family there in the event OF the Generals
remains being taken to that city. Mrs.
Grant could not be seen, but Colonel Grant
thanked his fathers friend for the kindly
thought. Late in the afternoon squad
OF uniformed men from Wheeler Post
Grand Army OF the Republic, OF Saratoga
came up the mountain to
GUARD THE COTTAGE
the pine trees, where last night the anxious
correspondent bivouacked. Guard lines
were soon established, and at dusk the
patrol OF the beats was begun. The guard
will be temporarily maintained, and thus
morbid1y curious people will be kept from
the cottage. DR.. Shrady remained here to-
day in order that DR.. Douglas and himself
might, after order had been restored in the
house, converse with Colonel Grant on theI
Subject of post mortem examination of
the remains. His fathers physicians there
fore this evening repaired to the cottage,l
and met the Colonel with formal preference|
|of request that
AN AUTOPSY MIGHT BE HELD.
They stated that their purpose was mott
lin the least to confirm their opinion of the
disease, for they had at all times beenI
united in demonstrating the case as one oil
medical staff might step aside from the
patient and invite any other medical
|or surgical authority to conduct the|
examination, which would speak for itself
This both Doctors Douglas and ShradyI
urged as far as professional and PERSONAL
dignity could permit but Colonel Grant re-
piled that the entire family were sol
thoroughly united in their confidence in thall
diagnosis and treatment OF the pilysici,.t,sss
that they could not conceive the necessitys
foran autopsy.
THE LAST SAD RITES.
Public interest now centres chiefly upon
the obsequies of state, and the burial.
Colonel Fred. Grant himself does not this
evening know where the choice of a spot
for the sepulchre will be made. A message
from President Cleveland and another
from Mayor Grace OF New York will arrive
here tomorrow to present to the Colonel
IN person the invitation of their respective
cities OF Washington and New York to
bring thither for burial the remains of the
General. Horace Porter will arrive here
tomorrow to confer with Colonel Grant
relative to the arrangement of the funeral
details. The city of Springfield, ILL.,, has
also rendered resting place for the re-
mains OF the General. Some days Will elapse
before all details and arrangements can be
perfected, and in the meantime the body,
into the veins OF which the embalmers are
tonight ejecting antiseptic fluids for their
will be kept up on the mount
ain w. ]. Arkell will vacate his cottage
near Artists Lake and the remains of Gen
eral Grant will be placed there. The cot
