4t9o'clock last night one of General
Grants physicians conceded with eau
ton that he might survive until JULY
osd. His meaning was that the sick
man might vet be living when midnight
should mark the new day. The physi-
clans indication, it was not prognosu-
cation. was borne out, and more. The
General passedint the first hour OF the
jay. he saw its light at sunrise, and
through the early morning hours he
still survived. The advent Of July 23d,
however, marked a change in General
Grants condition, which was signifi-
cant. The chill at the extremities was
increasing.
General Grant died at S.OSa.m. sur
rounded by all his family. He passed
out of life peacefully and without evil
dent pain.
An embalmer from New York will be
summoned to preserve General Grants
remains, but a local undertaken will un-
douOtedly conduct the immediate
details and convey the remains to New
York. When the body shall have
reached New York the question of a.
post norton will be considered and
determined by the family. Touching
the place for burr il the General, a month
ago. indicated three places ASSUMING his
wishes in that direction. The choice,
however, was narrowed to TWO, owing

his wife should rest beside him. A
strong desire has been expressed to the
family that the burial should take place
in Washington and efforts have been
putfOrth to make New York the last
resting place of the General. Before
ais death, however, General Grant left
the choice OF burial spot entirely to
Colonel Fred, imposing only the condi-
ton that the spot selected should
De such as that Mrs. Grant
might rest by his side. His
remains will be removed to New York
