GENERAL GRANT.
lie Passes a Restless Night, Caused by the
Work Performed on His Book.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Last night was the worst
night with General Grant in two weeks. It was
a quiet night, as quiet goes with him, but he
slept only at short intervals until 6 O'Clock this
morning, at which hour he fell into a sleep
that continued until s A. NJ. He then awoke
again, but afterward dozed until between 9 and
10 o'clock. About 10 o'clock last night the Con
eral settled down, as was supposed, for the
night. He believed DR.. Douglas had left the
house. This was not true, and when, at about
IL o'clock, the patient heard the Doctors voice
in the hall, he summoned him to the sick-room.
The General seemed nervous and apprehensive,
and requested the Doctor not to quit the house
until morning. Hence DR.. Douglas remained at
the house until $50 this morning. When the
Doctor left the house he said the Generals
restless night was caused by cerebral excitation,
resulting from work on his book during the past
two days. The weather, too, may have contrib
uted to the restlessness Of the patient. The
throat and general physical conditions were not
such as to have caused uneasiness, and the
Doctor found explanation of the fact in the rea-
sons stated. The weekly consultation will be
held to morrow.
''The General worked on his book, to-day
said Colonel Fred Grant, 'for over two hours,
and will, ON Monday. resume the debating, after
which he will take four or five days rest, col

finish the work. Of course, some revision will
be necessary, but the General is confident it
will not be much
"a statement has appeared in one of the pa
pers that the General has resumed smoking
again. Is such the fact?'
NO" answered the Colonel, sthere is no
truth in the matter. A few days ago the doc
tors told father that if he wanted to smoke a
cigar he might do SO, but he has not done
so, and will net de so. Perhaps
some parties who have seen me at
the window smoking may have mistaken me for
father. The Generals condition is about the
same. Although the swelling in his throat has
ceased very perceptibly, the pain has not in
creased very materially. We kept the doctor
last night. at fathers solicitation, though he
is no worse tonight. / will have to
keep visitors from him in future. After the con
s~ultation tomorrow we will know definitely
what progress the disease has made. l think
fathers progress viii be better when the book
is finished
DR. Douglas came at 10 o'clock, and will stay
all night.

A., b. n e.
the reporter again turned to the tax duplicate
to find the names Of wholesale dealers whose
names adorn the $1,000 bonds of numerous
saloon-keepers. He found the following whole
sale liquor dealers to pay on the appended as
of personal property: Herman Rik-
on the county or city duplicate.
Hugh Sweeney pays on $1,000 personal; Dan
iel OBrien on 81. 225; Simon Bunte on 81, 525;

man on $2l,97a These nine are the conspicuous
and leading houses: so far as the local Liquor
trade is concerned. The entire nine pay on only
$780, 25.
A single wholesale grocery on South Meridian
street contributes more toward carrying on tbs
city government (whiie, at the same time, giving
no cause for the outlay Of taxpayers money!
than these nine establishments put together.
The more the matter is investigated, the
clearer the showing that the liquor interest.
instead of being the mighty moneyed powerit has
boasted itself to be, is in reality one of the
smallest monetary interests in the city. The
four hundred or more little groceries scattered
over the city pay more taxes. four or five times
over, than the entire liquor inter
ests of the city-vinous, malt and
spirituous-and their taxes are higher for the
reason that the saloons, which make law-break-
ers and create riot and disorder pay SO little.
The reporter Intercepted County Auditor
Adams yesterday on the question Of saloon
bondsmen, calling his attention to the
fact that brewers and wholesale liquor men
were upon bonds amounting to many times the
value of their property. Mr.. Adams said his
notice had already been directed to the matter,
and he had called upon the county attorney for
his opinion upon the subject, which would be
forthcoming in a day or two.

prietary.R Since May the plaintiff has also
controlled the Belt road by lease.
Prior to that date, the through freight on
the twelve roads became so. great that it could
not be carried conveniently or without danger
to life and limb. To avoid those inconvenience
the road ceased to use the Union tracks for
freight business. and used the Belt road instead.
But the c., H. g. /. refused TO abandon the use
of the Union tracks. According to the contract

THE R ROBBERY.
Varying Opinions as to the Identity Of the
RObber--A Reward To Be Offered.
Louisville Commercial.


A reporter talked with various railroad men
on the incoming trains yesterday. The opinion
is held by some that the robber is a native of the
desolate hill country back of Bloomington, and
thatit win be utterly impossible to track him to
his hiding place, as the only men who .saw him
were Davis and Weber and one passenger, VIII
obtained only a casual glance of him as
he walked past the car window in the
moonlight, and who is unable to describe him,
except that ne was a tall man. 1t was a~lso.re-
ported that during the day before the ROBBERY
was committed q man answering the rneager
description given by Weber and the passenger
was seen hanging around Harrodsburg, carrying
a freshly-cut hickory stick. He was a stranger,
and no particular attention was paid to him,
though many are now of the opinion that he is
the guilty party.
There are others who think that the convict
who was discharged from the Jeffersonrille peni-
tertiary a few days ago. and who also answers
to the description Of the robber, is the man who
did the deed, while a few believe that he is a
discharged employe of the railroad, and was
aware of the fact that by the time the train
reaches that part of the road the work
of the express messengers is usually
finished, and they are often half asleep. The
officials of the American Express Company
are yet unable to say definitely how much
money the robber obtained. Mr. Will Simpson
states that Davis left Louisville with only $400.
Agent Burton, of New Albany, says that he gave
him ST 900. He perhaps took in a number of
small sums along the road for a few miles, max
ing the total amount in the safe perhaps 81. 500.
OF this the sum of 1850 was found on the ground
near the scene of the robbery. so that the high
wayman secured in the neighborhood of 81, 200.
The American Express Company will offer a
large reward for the capture of the robher, and
this will probably be supplemented by the Gov
ernor of Indiana.
