GRANT NERVOUS AND RESTL ESS. Writing on His Book Even in the
 Shadow of Death

ShadsW of Death,
 ALBANY, July IA Journal despatch from Saratoga says that General Grants physicians again this morning privately ex- press the fear that he cannot live beyond Friday or Saturday. From private and au- thoritative advices the Journal to-day says in double 1eaded leader: ''There is no dis guising the truth that the days of General Grants sufferings are almost ended. The close of his heroic struggle for life is near at hand. When he was taken from New York it was in the belief that he could survive but a short time if he remained in the city. The desperate chances of giving him few more weeks of life on the mountain were taken. To-day the great and grand hero is on the brink of the grave"
 MT. MCGREGoR, N. Y., July 1.-Between g and 10 o'clock to-day having had writing ma terials put on his lap before he had changed estimate of four of his generals for his book. The work was quite fatiguing and occasion ally he was obliged to pause for rest, sleep ing sometimes between the paragraphs. All he did would have been 8 light hours work for him when he was in health. It was clearly effort of will to show what he could do. He was dressed
 
 the parlor. Rev. Dr. Newman found him there and was surprised that he was without his cane, and physically exhilarated. The family seemed much grieved over Colonel Dents outgivings at Washington and much encouraged over the generals condition Some time was spent in religious confer ence in which all engaged. The general moved about little after this and in the evening remained with the family until 8 o'clock, when he retired. Taking the day as whole it was favorable. In the early Evening the general retired feeling about as he did last night. As there was then no real ground for panic in spite of the Respondent reports, there is tonight lit tie upon which to base hope of improvement This view was borne out by the generals fail ure to sleep after he had retired. His efforts of the day left him nervous and in some mental excitement which could not be al layed. A restless night was then anticipat- ed

Steamboat Excursions.

Those intending to enjoy the "Glorious Fourth as pleasantly as possible should re member that one of the best ways to do so is to take one of the many excursions adver- tised by the New Haven Steamboat company either of which will be most enjoyable and at prices within the reach of all
 In this connectlsu it may be said that the splendid steamer c. H. Northam will make the trip to New York next Sunday night in place of the New Haven, leaving Belle dock at 12 o'clock midnight. It will be wonder if she does not have large passenger list on that occasion.
 Another feature in the enterprise of the "Old Line" Steamboat company is the Sun- day trips of the Elm City to New York, which will commence next Sunday, leaving Belle dock at 9 a. m. and returning leave New York the same night at Il o'clock, reaching this city about o'clock Monday morning. This arrangement will no doubt be found great accommodation and will be appreciated by those travelling on business for pleasure. This is to be a permanent arrangement, through the season at least.

FUNERAL FOR A WEDDING. Fire RObs a Lover of His Promised
 


 CLEVELAND, July 1.-Two tenements, Nos 349 and 353 Broadway, owned by Daniel ODeIl were burned this morning. The lower floor of 349 was occupied by Max Strauss tailor shop and Louis Duetsche occupied 353 a saloon. Their families occupied the rear parts of the ground floors as living apartments. The upper floors were occupied by these families: The Kaufman family, consisting of the husband, wife and two children; the Cohen family, consisting of husband, wife and four children, and the Rosenbergs, mother and three daughturs. The families retired as usual last night. Rosie Meisel niece of Mrs. Rosenberg, oc- cupied the same room with her two cousins. About 3 o'clock a son of Cohen. awoxe his father and said he smelled smoke. The father on opening the doer found the hall full of smoke and quickly gave the alarm. In less than three minutes after Co., hen was awakened the house was one sheet of fire. Men, women and children rushed through the smoke wringing their hands and crying for help. A neighbor in the mean time raised ladder to the front windows down which the Kaufman family descended in safety. While the Kaufmans were es- caping the Cohen family jumped from the windows and escaped apparently without serious injury. Meanwhile Theodore Traul the affianced of Miss Meisel, who had also occupied room in the house, rushed through the flames and smoke searching for his sweetheart. He called to her, but received no response. He was about te give up the search when he stumbled against crouch ing female figure. Lifting the girl in his arms, he rushed to the window and jumped. In the leap he broke his arm and received serious internal injuries. On looking into the face of the girl, it was found that it was not Miss Meisel, but one of the Cohen girls. At that same moment Rosie and her two roommates were struggling with death in the room above. The noise had not awak- ensd the girls until it was too late While windows a cry rang out that there The fremen climbed into the windows. but found no trace of human beings Some time afterward man named Start made a search and found the charred and blackened bodies of Rosie Meisel, 20, and Sa- rah and Jennie Rosenberg, 10 and S. Their positions gave evidence of desperate struggle. Miss Mei- sel was undoubtedly suffocated, as she was scarcely touched by the flames; the other two girls, however, were so ter ribly burned that it is impossible to state whether they were burned or smothered to death. The three bodies were removed to the morgue. The chief of the fire depart- ment is of the opinion that the fire was in cendiary, originating in the saloon. The loss will not aggregate more than &. GOO Miss Meisel and Theodore Traul were to have been married next Sunday.
