MT. McGREGoR, July 25.-At 10 O'CLOCK
this morning the train arrived at the sum-
nit. Col. Fred Grant was one Of the pas
sengers upon it. He proceeded at once and
alone upon his arrival to the cottage of his
brother, Jesse having remained behind.
The Colonel Immediately repaired TO his
mothers apartment, where the family were
gathered to hear the result Of his trip
to and conference in New York. He de-
tailed his movements aud explained that
there seemed to be reasons for the choice
of a burial spot in some other place than
Central Park. Riverside Park had at the
time of the General Grants death been sug-
gested as the spot Of interment, and il
seemed best TO the Colonel after seeing and
hearing all 70 change the place Of the
sepulchre TO Riverside Park. The matter
having been thus presented to the family
q conclusion was reached in accord with the
C~olonel's suggestion, and he at once die
lated the following dispatches:
Mt. MCGREGoR, July %, 1885.
W. A. Grace, New York: Mother takes
Riverside. Temporary tomb had better
be ct the same place.
Mt. McGREGoR, July %, 1885.
General Il. McFeely, Washington, d. c..
Mother to-day accepted Riverside Park.
She wishes me TO thank you for the tender
Of the Soldiers Home.
Signed: F. D. GRANT.
Upon the same train that brought Col.
Grant up the mountain came q company
Of regular troops that had been expected
since yesterday morning. They brought
their tents, and all camp accoutrements.
There were thirty-eight men in all. The
Intention Of carrying the remains in a
private car OF Mr.. Vanderbilt has been
changed, and the funeral car " Woodlswn "
be substituted for Vanderbilt's car. This
car. besides carrying the remains, will fur
nish accommodations for 40 persons.
Otherwise the train will be made up as
previously stated. The Government has
ordered General Passenger Agent Hen
drick, of the New York Central, to drape
the cars of the funeral train, and its pur-
pose Is to drape them entirely in black,
relying for an imposing effect on
the massing of colors. No white
will be used. and the company promise
q spectacle that shall be more
imposing and impressive than has
ever before been known on such an occa-
sion. General Hancock and staff now pro-
pose to be present here on the Monday be-
fore the funeral services. On the day Of
the removal Of the body to Albany the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
will send ahead OF the funeral train at
short intervals four passenger trains of IA
cars each to take up the Grand Army men
l and nthQra Whn NAV nm that dau ha Iautr-
Gus of going into Albany to view the re-
mains as they lie in state. 1t ia learned
this morning that 600 or 700 troops will
be or have been ordered to Saratoga to
meet the remains of General Grant on
their arrival from the mountain on Tues
day next.
