in the city whose people befriended him i'll
his need New York has been decided upon
rs the place of interment, and Central Park
as the spot. The generals preference and the
family wishes will thus both be met The de
cision was reached this afternoon. To-
day an early train brought Mr. w. l..
Turner, representing Mayor Grace, TO tender
a burial site for the body in any of the
New York parks He mentioned the River
side park by way of suggestion from the
mayor. The family would not consider it.
Central park seemed to them the proper
place There was some delay in n final
decision. caused by telegraphic correspond
encc between Mr. Turner and Mayor Grace
in regard to the condition imposed in the
generals note that Mrs. Grant should
lie beside him. The mayor evidently had
to wait for the common council to
meet in order TO give official assurance
that no obstacle would stand against
that condition 1t was o'clock before
final message came from Mayor Grace pledg
ing his faith and that of President Sanger, of
the board of aldermen, that the wishes of the
family would be followed. Colonel Grant
laid at once that he would proceed with ar
rIngements to that end.
The mayor was authorized by the alder
men to appoint committee of one hundred
citizens to proceed to Albany to accompany
the remains to New York
