LIKELY TO DIE AT ANY MOMENT.
The important document alluded to in the
II O'Clock bulletin was family paper. DR..
Shrady has just said that Gen. Grants con-
dition is very good tonight, but it cannot be
told at what moment he will die. The ano-
dyne administered produced sleepiness. DIR.
Shrady says he never saw so much exhaus
ton in a man suffering with disease of such
small local magnitude. This exhaustion, the
doctor thinks, is due largely to recent shocks.
The fall on the ice when leaving his carriage,
neuralgia, the extraction of teeth, business
troubles and such like.
NO ALTERATION.
1890 a. m.-Gen. Grant is sleeping
tie same as at II o'clock.

LATEST FROM NEW YORK.
ga. m.-An inmate in the household of
Gen. Grant said tonight: 1.-THE true his
tory of Gen. Grants death-bed scene on
Tuesday morning, when it was feared the
general was about to breathe his last, is as
follows: About o'clock in the morning
the old soldier suddenly gasped, and pre-
sented all the symptoms of death struggle.
The family and physicians and DR.. Newman
rushed to his side, and nearly all gave him
up. Doctors Douglas and Shrady held
hurried consultation, after which DR.. ShradY
filed hypodermic syringe full of
brandy and injected the contents into the
generals arm. The extreme pallor SO
CHARACTERISTIC OF DEATH
gave away to healthful looking flush, and
Gen. Grant was given for the time a new
lease of life. The promptness on the part
of DR.. Shrady saved the general and pro-
longcd his life so as to enable him to sign
some papers OF great moment to his family.
1t also saved great figure in American his
tory to his countrymeI for at least some
days. After the general had recovered he
pleasantly said to the surgeon who had per-
formed the signal service:. "Well you've
PROLONGED MY AGONY
for while.' ''Yes,n answered DIR. Shrady,
''we will have you with us some
time yet" DIR. Newman was over
joyed at seeing the general recover
SO rapidly and prayed fervently. The eyes of
the ladies were suffused with tears of JOY
when they saw death averted. A minutes
delay at the time would have made great
change in the history of the case"
