when offered water and milk they gurgled in his
response was the last utterance OF
Gen. Grant; Dr.. Douglas remarked that nat

seemed to present obstacles to the approach of
death. 1t was a gradual passing away Of vital
forces and reflex consciousness. The doctor
thought consciousness was retained to the last,
and that the General died of exhaustion patnlessly

MASK OF THE DEAD MANS FACE.
Within twenty minutes after the death of Gen.
Grant, Kerc Gerhardt a Hartford sculptor,
who has been making study here of the Gen
eraI was summoned to the cottage at the suggeS-
ton of DR.. Newman to make plaster mask of
the dead mans face. He was highly
successful. Within half an hour after the Gen
erals decease the waiting engine at Mountain
depot was on its way to Saratoga to bring the
undertaken, who will place the remains on ice to-
day to await the arrival of the New York under
taker who has been summoned.
THE GENERALS LAST WISHES.
The details and arrangements touching the re-
mains while they are here and until they arrive
in New York are in charge of Joseph W. Drexel
and W. j. Arkell. At this writing the
physicians are DESTROYS of having a post
mortem examination, but the family are
said to be averse, and that is matter to be de-
termined. A week ago the General is said to
have intended that should he die here during the
hot weather, hewOuld prefer that his remains
should remain here until cooler weather, the
purpose being to spare the family a sad and
fatguing journey in sultry weather. ills doubtful
