Saving Grants Personal Effects.

By Telegraph 10 the DlsIutcH.J
NEW YORK, january 12.-The fol-
lowing statement made by friend OF
General Grant makes clear the action
that was undertaken to protect the
General and why the movement for
raising fund was stopped: 1.-Two
or three weeks ago there appelrcI to
be danger of sherifrs sale of Grant 5
official commissions. swords, medals,
sourenirs from foreign countries. AID
other precious personal effects. Hear
ing this. and with what appeared to be
sure evidence before them that the dam
GER of such sale was imminent, some
of General Grants friends resolved
to protect these historic and trea-
sured objects, and also his other
personal effects, by buying them
at their appraised value, or at such
sale, if opportunity offered, they would
have furnished the money for that pur-
pose. In looking into the legal points
of the case it was found that the con-
templated sale was friendly action on
the part of Vanderbilt to obtain a legal
title free from any further lien, and after
acquiring possession to preserve such
personal effects and souvenirs for General
Grant. In view of these facts. and OF
the letter of General Grant to Cyrus
W. Field, further action in the matter
was dropped. The generous offer OF
Vanderbilt just made known preserved
to General Grant and the American
people treasured objects it was the
purpose Of his other friends to pro-

Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
SwooPE's, January IL, 1885.
Captain G. r. Mason died tonight at
7 o'clock.
70. X. Mason was perhaps as well
known as any man in the State of vir--
GINA. His name was not only connect
ed as q contractor with the principal
internal Improvements of the Common
INTELLECTUALLY with the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad and its system Of
tunnels-but has passed into the his
tory Of the late civil war. He was dub
bed in the Confederate army "Jack-
sons bridge-builder,'' and upon his
decision, energy, and indomitable will
that great chicftan is said to have relied
more than once for overcoming obstacles
in the way Of bridges, streams, &c. 1t
was due in a great measure to Mason's
hard common practical sense and
ability to discipline labor that Jackson
was enabled to execute one of the most
rapid movements OF the war. The
story is that after the battle of Gaines's
Mill, while the Engineer Corps were
discussing a plan to rebuild the bridge
across the Chicahominy which the re-
treating enemy had burned, Mason col
lected a force of men, rebuilt the
bridge, and put the army across
the river in time for jackson
to take part in the fight at
Sayage's Station. On this occasion,
it is related, he reported to Jackson that
the bridge was built, but he had not
seen the pictures (alluding to the draw
ings of the engineers), and though the
popular form the anecdote has taken
may be somewhat embellshed, it is con-
ceded that it is essentially true. On
another occasion he put Jackson's
wounded across a river in the Valley in
batteaux that he built in an incredibly
short time. c. X. Mason was essen
TALLY self-made man. He had been
denied every advantage of education,
but had a system of calculations of his
own by which he could work
out any problem that presented
itself in the business he con-
Quoted. There is no doubt Of the fact
that jackson regarded him as most
remarkable man, and had the greatest
confidence in his ability to accomplish
anything he undertook. Until stricken
by disease his whole life was an exam
pie of energy and vim. No amount Of
labor could appal him.l

TIE ASA ULT ON PHELAN.


ADu8n80t - h14<s~ss
fBy cable to the Dispateh.l
LONDON, January l2.--All the news
papers speak in satirical manner OF
O,Donoyan Rossa's prudence In being
absent from mis- Office during the fracas
on Friday.
The Times says s'If there be
grain of truth in Phelan's revelations,
they would offer sufficient cause to Eng
LAND for demanding Kearney's extradi-
ton. II has been great misfortune
hitherto that respectable Americans
have not sufficiently realized what was
transpiring in their midst. Their eyes
are now opened, and American law
will make short work Of Rosa and his
accomplices if their guilt can be proved.
The time has certainly arrived to set the
law in motion"
Richard Short, who made the attack
on phelan, was suspected by the Irish
notice authorities to have been con-
nected with the Cork dynamite conspi-
racy. When Featherstone was arrested
in March. 1883, Shorts house was
searched. Short thereupon went to
America. His wife returned to Cork
some time ago, and is now in the work
house there. Phelan assisted kearney
| TO leave England when the latter was
suspected Of being dynamite con-
spirator by the Glasgow police.
| Kearney used to be signal
man on the Caledonian railway
at Glasgow. He left his signal-box just
before the railway company's works
and the corporation gas-works were
made the objects of dynamite outrage.
He had attended dynamite meetings,
and had been associated with Feather
stone. Kearney was traced to Edin-
burgh from there to Newcastle-on-the
TYNE, and from thence to Hull. From
Hull he escaped to America. kearney,
II seems, was not suspected of being con-
nected with dynamiters, and remained
in the service of the Caledonia railway
until March, 1888. when his connection
with them was disclosed during the
trial of ten Glasgow dynamiters at Edin-
burgh.
| LIVERPOOL, January l2.-Officers
Of the National Line Of steamers state
that Phelan's story about dynamite
having been sent to England on the
Queen is an invention pure and simple.
No dynamite was ever found on any oil
the National-Line steamers.
