General Grant OF for Mount Moaregor


NEW YORK, June 16.-Willism H.
Vanderbilt's private car was the last Of
three which made up the special train
which was to convey General Grant to
rived at the depot about o'clock and at
once entered the Vanderbilt car and
took his seat on sofa. With his own
hands he adjusted his wool skull cap
and drew closer the neck scarf 30 as to
conceal the ugly swelling tibet filed out
the right of his neck even with the ear.
He watched with apparent interest the
movements of DR.. Douglas and Har-
rison, his own colored servant, who
were arranging chairs and bags so the
general should be as comfortable
as possible during the trip. Heavy
drapery was so arranged so as to pre-
vent airy draughts from reaching the
general. Mrs. Grant sat at the generals
right hand, and he was ever under her
watchful eyes. The ride through the
tunnel in the city was the worst to be
experienced during the entire trip. The
sharp curves shook the Car lutte, but
the care of the engineer prevented any
Mrs. Fred Grant, Mrs. Ulysses
). Grant and Mrs. Sartoris were
also in the car, while the
children of the household were under
the care Of Colonel Fred Grant in a for
ward car. General Grant passed q rest
less night and this morning he looks
much depressed and emaciated. While
he watches everything that is done, be
does not speak word.
When General Grant alighted from
the train here large banner confronted
him bearing the words: "Welcome to
Our Hero" AT the moment pho
tographer, with camera on the plat
form, took an instantaneous
picture of the general alight-
Ing. The general, steadied on
either side by his attendants,
started to walk from the train TO the
DreXel cottage. The ascent was easy
and the distance short, but his strength
failed and no was placed in q chair,
which was carried to the cottage by two
porters. Mr.. DreXel aud Mrs. Grant
were close behind the general,
and his household and servants
followed, forming a little procession
on the cottage gallery. Miss DreXel well
coined the party and conducted the
ladies to their room. The general walk
ed to his room on the same level as the
broad piazza, and there he sank into q
chair with pillow beneath and behind
him. Precipitation was standing on
his face, and the strain of the Journey
| gave way to reaction of extreme weak
ness. He lay back with closed eyes and
the nurse famed his face. DR.. Doug.
lass was anxious to examine and cleanse
the Generals throat. He found that
much irritation had been caused by the
fine black dust which had lodged in the
throat during the journey, but said
the surface underneath, though in
famed, appeared better than no had ex-
steadily increased after passing the
Hudson and during the last hour of the
"trip it rapidly fitted forward on
the neck and below tho collar. The
generals voice, which was better at
starting than on Monday, had utterly
failed him and any effort to speak re.
suited only In faint and almost anaud-
ible aspirations. The doctor thought
this was due to the fatigue which was
greater during the last hour OF the trip
than at any other time. When the doc.
tor had cleaned and treated his throat
General Grant appeared on the piazza
and was seated on a aforementioned
chair, with his feet resting in another.
His skullcap was drawn down and his
? neck projected by the upturned
collar OF his gown. His elbows rested
on the arms OF the chair, his hands were
clasped and his eyes closed. After ten
. minutes he arose, and with his cane
slowly walked into his room and lay
down, and in faint whispers he let Doc.
tor Douglass know that he was very wea
ry and was glad tho journey was ended
} Then his pulse, ordinarily II, was 81
beats to the minute. The family are al
quartered at the cottage, but DR.. Doug
last has rooms IN the house.
