WHITING FOR THE SUMMONS.
Gen. Grant Not Concerned as His End Ap-
DenyS Near at Hand,

y" 20 AAo AstN -"
pears Near at Hand.
Mount McGregor dispatch OF the Both:
DR.. Douglas said this morning that Gen.
Grant was visibly growing weaker and that
if he had remained in New York city he
could not now be removed to his present
evident in the lack of ability and desire
to walk upon the piazza as he did ten days
ago. The doctor acknowledges that the
end Of the generals life appears to be ap-
preaching, but the question when it may
occur nc one can ~foretell.
The general seemed anxious that his
physician should not construe his quiet as
an evidence Of suffering or discomfort, and
in the afternoon wrote upon his pad telling
DR.. Douglas he had no pain and was feeling
as well as on Sunday. The prolonged quiet,
however, did not assure all his friends, and,
it having become evident to him hat such
was the case, he wrote upon his pad during
the afternoon these words:
"Do as | do. | takeit quietly; | givem my
self not the least concern. Ii l knew that
the end was to be tomorrow, l would try
and get rest in the meantime. As long as
there's no progress there's hope"
In some quarters the comparative alb
sence of pain and the prolonged quiet OF the
general were regarded as u~nfavorable indi-
cations. 1t had been felt that pain had
ceased to be experienced because of the af-
lection OF the nervous centers by the dis
ease, and not because the disease was less
active or progressing less rapidly. DR..
Douglas, when asked in regard to this mat
ter, said the indications were that the
gnawing or corroding OF the ulcers was, for
the time being, abated, but that weakness
might increase without extraordinary pain.

er-in-law to Gen. Grant, said to-day: II

MRS. DUDLEY ACQUITTED.
Insanity the Ground of the Verdict.

New York dispatch: The court room where
Mrs. Dudley is being tried for her assault up
on Rosa was crowded to suffocatiop. Coun-
sci for defense claimed that the prisoner com
mitted the assault from no personal motives,
but for love of her country. Ie also claimed
that Mrs. Dudley is not a responsible person.
Several witnesses were examined, among
whom were two experts and testified to the
unsound condition of the prisoners mind,
Mrs. Dudley here interrupted the proceedings
by stating that whether or not l was IRA
tional then / am sane now and wish to tes-
tify." 1t was finally agreed to call her to the
witness stand. Mrs. Dudley made 4 short
statement to the jury in which she said she
was actuated in shooting Rosa solely by his
threats to commit wholesale murder of limo
cent women and children. She assured tie
jury that she was not / sane when she per-
formed the deed. Tie jury ACQUITTED her af-
ter being o1t five minutes on the grounds Of
insanity.

An Amusing Incident.

The conservative and courteous Bish-
OPP of some two-thirds OF the common
wealth of the Keystone State gives a h1-
morous incident that actually occurred
during one of his visitations at one Of
the principal towns not a hundred miles
from Harrisburg.
Good Judge L. is not only an earne;t
churchman but very fond of showing his
neighbors the way to church also. At
any special service he was sure to haze
a couple or more of his legal friends n
his pew with him, being very attentive
himself both to the service and to lis
friends, showing them the places in the
prayer book, and trying to keep them
contented.
At q recent visitation of Bishop Fl. the
Judge was seen passing the books, AID
at every change in the service handing
over other books, and then devoutly Goa
tinuing his own duties. It was Sunday
morning, and by the time the solemn
litany was reached the visitors, having
no especial interest in the affair beyo1d
pleasing the Judge, and c~onsenting %
listen to a good square sermon which lie
had promised them, whenever In the ST.
cred programme it should be presented,
began to tire of the performance, AMI,
with a freedom more becoming the court
room OF street than the sanctuary, one
of them, finding it impossible to keep
up the connection of things, blurted ont
in a good stage whisper, Judge, this
beats the devil!'
"That is the intention-'Good Lord,
deliver u.s." replied the Judge, in pretty
positive tones, and in a sort Of monotone
that came near to a seeming addition TO
the church's liturgy not in the book

SENATOR VEST has the naming of the

Charges OF offensive ~partisanship have been
prepared in due form against the incum-
bent, Mr.. Case, who has held the Office for
q dozen years. The principal specification
is that he went to the polls in the Second

STORM IN DAKOTA.
Los. of Life and Damage to Proper.,

Loss of Life and Damag &c to Property.
A dispatch from Frankfort, Dakota, of the
9th ult. says: This part of Dakota was Wis
tied by a terrific wind and rain storm. 1t was
very severe in part of the James River Valley
and especially in the central part of Sphinx
county. The wind blew a terrific gale for for
ty-fve minutes, accompanied by rain, thun-
der and lightning. The Catholic church in
this place was blown down, two stores
stripped of their tin roofs, and sheds and
small buildings turned over. In the sur
rounding county many barns and stables
were blown down or unroofed, and two
dwelling houses demolished four miles south
of Frankfort. In one of these all of the oc-
cupants escaped to the adjoining building for
protection, but in the house of John Blain oc-
cupied by MIR. Hartney, the family were
caught in the ruin. Mr.. Hartney's father was
killed outright and Mr.. Hartney injured Sc
verely on the skull and across the chest. His
wife was dangerously injured. Hartney's
daughter had her arm broken and another
child was badly hurt. The German Metho-
dists to the number of 200 were holding a
camp meeting in Fishers Grove, on the
James River, near Frankfort, having nothing
but light sheeting for tents. Their tents
were blown to pieces in short order and they
were left to face the fury of the storm. The
Loss in Sphinx county will aggregate $40, 900
to S17,C 00 and is partly covered by tornado
insurance. No hail fell except on a few farms
northwest of here, and the fine crops are I'M

qHETORD CASE,


The Ford case continues to be the
chief topic Of conversation in New
Orleans and elsewhere. In an in-
terviev With representative Of the
Hicdyl@te on Friday last, Attorney
General Cunningham stated that
Judge Par,lee he thought had gone
out of his way to criticiss the Grim
inal Court and the conduct oftlle
trial. He asserted that the pris
sbners were given a fair trial, and
asYere dehaired OF any testimony.
Mr.. Cunningham did not know when
the Board of Pardons would meet
again. That he would do nothing
without Consulting his colleagues.
That he has been guided in his
course relative TO that case, by what
be thought 10 he his duty as a pub
lie officer Of the LAW and he had not
yielded TO sentimental considera-
I1ions.
Judge Roman said that Judge
Pardee's letter WAS not entitled to
serious consideration for the reason
that the writer sets out by Sa ing
that he knew nothing OF the Ford
trials, fact fully stbstantiated 10y
ble rrmainicr of his letter. Judge
Roman said in illustration OF the
iallacy OF the proposition that the
Murphy murderers should be com
mnied because the other parties
concerned in the crime were no
convicted of murder, that it wa
about the same thing as contendins
that il five criminals were beins
couduaed to q Place of execution
and three escaped, the others there
fore should he released.

not satisfactory, as The Russians could

The American Government is in
terferIng with a high hand in Central
America. President Barrios, of
Guatemala, has proposed that his
Republic, and those of Honduras,
San Salvador. COSTA Rica, and Nicar-
aqua, shall he fused and as they all
object but Honduras. has resolved to
enforce compliance. The Government
of Washington, however, having an
eye t. the Nicaragua CanaI-which it
wishes to be American, and not
intern*tional-haS informed President
BlrrioS that il cannot permit the use
of force, and has sent al! wal vessels
at its disposal to the coast. The
Government Of Mexico has given the
same intimation and it is supposed
that President Barrios will either
Yield, or he overthrown, or be shot.
Th-re seems little objection to the
action of the Washington Cabinet,
which is faIly supported by the Senate,
as they distinctly permit the voluntary
fusion Of the Central American States
but it is nonsense to say that the old
policy OF non-interference is no.

All the news of the week has II

the intelligence from the Red Sea
Coast is not encouraging. General

the tale of the week is one Of losses
with bur little reSn't. Three per
