NEW YORK, July 9O.-General Sherman
says that the parade on the day of the
Grant funeral will be the greatest military
spectacle that this city has ever seen. Gen.
eral Hancock is regarded as magnificently
able to organize it and he is hard at work
He will leave nothing undone. ut was a
good thing to do" said General Sherman;
"to place all things in his hands" The
general then gave explanation of why he
thought New York had been given prefer
ence over Washington as place of burial.
He said that the Grant family would con-
tinue to live in New York. The boys can
not go to Washington to live, as there is
nothing to be found there for them. They
do not or can not expect to be congressman
or senators, and they could not accept
clerkships. What else is there in Washing
ton? # General Grants remains were
buried there they would seldom or never
see his tomb. The mother will remain
with the boys. She could not 60 to live in
Washington alone, and "Buck" Grant is
tied down on his farm in New Jersey at
Morristown. Jesse and Fred are to stay
in New York. They want their fathers
tomb here. That is the feeling of the family
and when the country comes to know of it,

LIGHTNING STRIKES THE COTTAGE.
Mt. McGREGoR, July 30.-A severe thun-
der storm occurred on the mountain this
evening. The electric fluid entered tile
cottage, tearing off some of the plastering
and extinguishing the electric light above
the casket., Colonel W. B. Beck, COM
manding battery A, fifth artillery, from
Governors island, and General R. H.
Jackson, commander of Fort Colum-
bus, Governors island, were rendered
insensible from the shock, and it
was feared for a time that the latter
would not survive, but was finally pro-
nOunced out of danger. Two or three 9th
ers were also less severely hunt. The
mountain telegraph lines are all prostrated,
and dispatches had to be sent to Saratoga for
transmission.
A very large number of persons
this afternoon availed themselves of the
privilege Of viewing the remains. When
Gen. Grants remains were placed in the
coffin Yesterday afternoon, Col. Fred Grant
put packet in the breast pocket of the
coat. It now transpires that it was a let
ter written by Mrs. Grant, it acknowledges
the farewell letter Of the general found in
his coat pocket after death, and added
farewell until both should meet in the bet
ter world. The ring placed on the generals
finger is Onethat Mrs. Grant had given him
but for which in life his finger had become
too small.
A REVIEW OF THE CASE.
New YORK, July 30-Dr. Geo. F. Shrady,
one of General Grants medical advisers,
will publish In the Medical Record review
of the Surgical and Pathological Aspects Of
General Grants Case" He believes that
the disease had it's inception in the month
of June, 1884, and gives history Of the
progress and treatment OF the case from the
day in October, 1884, when General Grant
first called on DR.. FOrdyce Barker his fame
lily physician, up to its fatal termination.
1t will suggest no new theories in regard to
the case, and is rather intended to be con-
nected narrative for the benefit OF the med
ical profession, being largely couched In
terms only familiar to that body.
