SALVATION ARMY.
Fifth Day of the sombardment at
Old Orchard.

The Army was made happy yesterday by
the arrival of Happy Bill Gray.
staff Captain Shirley's absence was much
regretted by the followers of the blood and
fire flag.
AT her departure for New York, whittier
she has gone to attend the officers meeting,
the parting volley was quenched in tears.
The antics of the india rubber man, as
Capt hampton is appropriately called, were
missed, as no one was able TO fill his place,
although heroic efforts were made.
In the absence of Staff Captain Shirley,
Mrs. Capt. Symmonds takes the salvation
guidon. The knee drill, led by her at am,
was attended with more than usual power
Eighteen were at the penitent form for
prayers.
The salvation meeting was led by Captain
France of Lawrence. About 500 were pres
ent Capt. France has a strong voice, which
she sent out over the encampment in clarion
tones.
Over thousand people waited patiently
in their seats for half an hour beyond the
advertised time for the afternoon meeting.
At length the sound of the drums came near

testimony meeting, but did not differ partic-
ularly from the usual salvation services The
leaders follow tho ancient practice of "dea-

planatory remarks which rob the poor hymns
of what little semblance to poetry they hap

which compared their devotional exercise to
those of the bowling dervishes.

LAST SAD RITES.
No Date Set for the Eunera

New YORK, July %. Gilbert A. Robinson
member of New York Commandery of the
Loyal Legion, of which General Grant was
commander at the time of his death, tele-
graphed from Mount McGregor this after
noon to Gen Charles A. Carleton, recorder
of the Commandery as follows:
Gen Grants body will remain here certainly
for ten days. 1t is very desirable to have = guard
here while the body remains, say lieutenant and
thirteen men. Win you see Gen. Hancock about
IT? Tents and meals will be furnished by the
hotel company. The family desire guard. Tele-
graph Gen. Hancock's decision"
In accordance with the above Gen Carle-
ton telegraphed to Gen. Hancock this after
noon asking if such guard could be furnish
ed and when it would start and requesting
him to telegraph his decision to the family at
Mount McGregor.
PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-Regarding the
funeral arrangements and final burial place
of General Grant, it is learned tonight that
George w. Childs will have sole charge of
the matters connected Herewith and he will
probably be called upon to select the spot for
the last resting place of the dead hero. 1t is
known that Mr.. Childs favors the Soldiers
Home as the burial place.

Within twenty minntes after the death of
Gen. Grant, Karl Gerahort of Hartford, the
sculptor, who has been making a study here
of the General, was summoned to the cottage
at the suggestion of DR.. Newman, to make
plast mask of the dead mans face. He was
highly successful.
Within half an hour after the Generals de-
cease the waiting engine at the mountain
depot was on its way to Saratoga to bring an

ice today to await the arrival of the New
York undertaken who has been summoned.
and who is now on his way here The de-
tails of the arrangements touching the re-
mains while they remain here and until they
arrive in New York. are in charge of James
W, Drexel and w. j. Askell. At this writ
ing the physicians are desirouS of having a
post mortem examination, but the family are
said to be averse and that is a matter vet to
be determined A week ago the General is
said to have intimated that should he die
during the hot weather he would prefer his
remains should remain here until cooler
weather, the purpose being to spare his fam
lily a sad and fatiguing journey in sutry
weather. 1t is doubtful, however, if this
suggestion is fully carried out, though it is
not unlikely tnat the remains may repOSe
here some days. This, however, is entirely
at the disposal of Col. Fred Grant, to whom
is left the entire control of all arrangements
1t is not unlikely that the proposition from
the city of New York to accord a burial plat
at Riverside Park, for the General and his
widow when she shall have passed away,
might be considered by Col. Grant. The inn
preston that Washington may be chosen as
the burial place is believed to be founded in
the present inclination of Col. Grant. The
only condition made by the General and that
as long ago as Jan. "A, was tina his remains
should be inferred where those of Mrs.
Grant might in time be beside his own. An
embalmer is now on his way from New York
in response to telegram.
Mt. MCGREGoR, July 23.-Horace Parker
will arrive here tomorrow to confer with
Gen, Grant relative to the arrangement of
the future details. Some dayS must elapSe
before all the details and arrangements can
be perfected, and meantime the body, into
the veins of which the embalmers are to-
night injecting antiseptic fluids for its pres
eryation will be kept upon the mountain.
William J. Arkell will vacate his cottage
near Artists Lake, and the remains of
Gen. Grant be placed there, the cottage to be
sealed and guarded by a platoon which will
be sent by Gen. Hancock. When all the ar.
rangements are made and the burial place
chosen the remains will be conveyed on a
special train to Albany, where they will liz
undoubtedly in state for day. From Al
bany the body viii he taken by specia
train to New York and possibly to Washing
ton, according to which city is chosen fol

The Brockton-Lawrenee game in Broekton,
yesterday, says the Associated Press despatch,
was one Of the most unsatisfactory ever played on
the home grounds 1t was plainly seen that Rit-
tenhouse could not pitch fair bail owing to a
spree of Wednesday, upon which the management
fined him $50, and McGunnigle then came into
the box. The visitors added two runs to their
score in the third inning on two hits and error
by Rittenhouse and in the sixth on Jordan's safe
one, assisted by passed balls and wild pitches.
The Broektons had scored five runs one earned

was very wild in his delivery and the batsmen
were kept busy lodging his swift delivery, In
the sixth pitched ball from Conway struck Me-
Gunnigle behind the ear and knocked him sense
less. He was carried from the field in unc0n-
scious condition, and it is feared it may produce
concussion of the brain. Baxter was then sub
stituted and RittenhouSe resumed the box but
was pounded hard and the visitors scored six
runs. A brilliant catch by Kiley in short-centre
was the feature of the game. The attendance
was 500. The score;

Assignment of John Roach.

John Roach, OF the firm OF John Roach &
Sons, the famous ship builders, has assign
ed to Geo. w. Quintard and Geo. f. Weed,
with certain preferences. The failure is as
cribed by some to the refusal of Secretary
Whitney to accept the dispatch boat Dol
plin constructed by direction OF the United
States government. He first directs the
payment OF the wages and salaries OF his la
horers n other employees, as the law pro-
yides shall be done, and names preferred
creditors to the extent OF about S125, 600.
One cause OF the assignment is said to be
Mr.. Roach's state of health. He is suffer-
ing from heart disease, and fatal results
were feared if he continued to worry over
the supervision OF his business. His attor-
ney says the contract for the three cruisers
will be carried out.
The Herald's New York special gives the
following as Secretary Whitney's reply to IL
question as to the probable effect OF the
Roach failure upon the government. Sec
rotary Whitney said:
! don think it will have any effect upon
the government. I am very sorry for Mr..
Roach. | am always sorry when a mar
falls into such difficulties, but l do not see
that the failure can nave any considerable
effect upon the government. The govern
ment has one vessel in his ship yard, and
two at New York, building, but the amounts
are nearly all paid on them. l saw in a
morning paper that Mr.. Roach thinks ]
am responsible for the trouble, or at least
l could give relief. but the government owes
only the amount still due upon the Dol
phin. which would not be enough to put
him upon a sure footing again.

Gen. Grant Apt at Repartee.

The Kentucky women are as enthu-
;astic about horses as the men. They
unhesltatingly place the horses before
themselves rs the great attractions OF
the State. I remember hearing a ION.
versation between General Grant and
Kentucky girl at the st. Louis Mer.
chants Exchange in 1875, when Presi-
lent Grant was visiting the st. Louis
Fair. A number OF ladies' were intro.
auced to the President, whereupon he
spoke in very high terms OF st. Louis,
the fair, etc. you are mistaken. Mr..
President; we are not from st. LOUIS
l~aughingly said one of the girls; ave
are from Kentucky, a very fine State,
you know, which possesses three things
all men OF taste must appreciate" Smil.
lngly the President asked her what
they were. She answered: I'VE have
the fastest horses, the prettiest women
and the finest whisky in the world.n
The President replied: "Nour horses
are certainly justly renowned; I have
some on my farm neal here; yourself
and party prove tine correctness of your
second observation, but whisky is one
Of the things that require age, and your
men consume it so fast that it rarely has
a fair chance to become good" The
girls thought that, if General Grant
could not make a long speech, lie wae
apt at rerartee.

The Idiocy of Capital.

~Chauncey NJ. Depew, for many years at
torney and now president OF the N. Y. Cen
tralrailroad, said recently: Heis very much
puzzled to account for the continued de-
preston in business. He says that the only
way that he can account for it is hat cap
ital is in idiot. He says that there is every
condition for favorable investment, much
beyond anything known in the most flush
period since the war. We have, he thinks,
gotten to the end of our failures. Tho peo-
pie who have not been able to meet their
Indebtedness have already goneto thewall.
Those who are in business are in the main
out OF debt. Every sort OF trade is down
to 81 hard-pan basis. There are now in
the banks of New York S160. 1000 of
unimployed capital. OF this, perhaps
S3o,0oO.oo0 is drawing / per cent. The
rest is drawing nothing. There is proba-
bly, twice the amount OF this idlec capital in
the outside banks OF the country. Why
this capital should be idle is one of
the mysteries OF finance. There are plenty
OF good Investments which are safe and Sc
cure, yet capital to-day hesitates to ONTO
anything, whilein our last flush period there
was nothingto too wild or idiotic formoney to
rush into. He repeated again that capital
is an idiot, and the investors are governed
more by the condition OF the atmosphere
and OF public feeling than they are by their
own Judgment. "
