menced firing at 4 O'Clock on the mountain
side. At 6 O'Clock bugles were sounding
the reveille, and as the strains f1oated over
the mountain they were swallowed up in
the booming of guns that will be fired every
half hour through the day, and at sunset
will close with 3S volleys. The mountain
train at 6 O'Clock began bringing up
people. The faneral car to carry the re-
mains from the mountain to Saratoga
came up early. The family have taken
their final farewell of the remains Of the
dead General, and this morning they gave
up his body to the nation. At 9 O'Clock
the family, except Mrs. Grant, repaired to
the hotel for breakfast. On their return
Col. Grant and his wife, with Mrs. Sarto-
ris, paused upon the ridge at the rear OF
the cottage and among the pines to scan
the bright picture Of the mountain valley,
| and then the family entered the cottage
and preparations began for the funeral
journey. A stream of visitors poured in
steadily for over an hour. About 8 O'Clock
| the head of a long line of buggies. wagons,
omnibuses and various kinds of vehicles
appeared climbing up the steep incline
near the eastern outlook. and soon the
area in the vicinity of the cottage was
thronged with horses and wagons and
| farmers with their wives and families. AT
| $50 q train of two cars brought Gen.
| Hancock and q number of distinguished
| visitors. The two companies of regulars
were drawn up to receive them. They
| proceeded from the station to the cottage.
| At 10 O'Clock services were held at the
cottage in the presence OF over 1000 per-
sons. Cane chairs and rustic seats were
provided for the ladies under the trees in
the grove. The ceremonies opened with
| the reading of Psalm No. 80, which was
followed by an impressive prayer by Rev.
Bishop Harris. The hymn, "My Faith
Looks Up to Thee" was joined in by the
whole assembly present with fine effect.
DR.. Newman then delivered a sermon,
the family sitting most of the time about
the remains in the parlor. At the conclu-
sion of the discourse the hymn, Nearer
My God to Thee" was rendered inn
pressively. The services ended with a
benediction. After the services were over
there was q movement of the people to-
ward the cottage to get a final look at the
corpse, but it was not deemed advisable to
admit any one, in view of the fact that it
was now time for the funeral train to
start. General Sherman, General Hancock
and Senator Evarts left the balcony to-
gether. Mrs. Grant had concluded not TO
go with the funeral train, but to wait over
until 4 o'clock, when che and the other
ladies of the family will leave for Sara
toga and from there go direct to New
York. The U. 8. Grant Post No. 327, OF
Brooklyn, bore the remains from the cot
tage to the station. Shortly before / O'Clock
the military were drawn up and a salute
was paid the remains as they passed to the
depot. The throng stood with uncovered
heads while the casket was borne to the
car. The mountain train waited at the
little rustic depot. Seven cars were there.
Next to the engine was the funeral car
with open sides and solid massive drapery.
SARATOGA, Aug. 4-The funeral train ar
rived here at LOO P. M. and left for Albany
at 2:05 P. NJ.
A Destructive Cyclone I'm Philadel.
phia.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-The uppermost
topic to-day is yesterdays cyclone and the
devastation it wrought in its rapid and re-
lentless course. 1t is probable that no ex.
act amount of the damage, the number OF
its victims and complete details of the
havoc to property can never be learned.
The best information at hand is that five
persons lost their lives, four are reported
missing and 60 injured-some so seriously
that recovery is impossible. The scene in
the Twenty-ifth Ward of Philadelphia to.
day is one of desolstion. Many houses
were raZed to the ground. Others were

r~oofess. The appearance OF the localities
on both sides of the Delaware river in the
direct tract Of the tornado has the resem-
blance of q once thickly populated region
that had been visited by an extensive fire.
The total loss will amount to about $780,
600, including $3.50, 900 on property In
Camden, $3.50. 900 In Philadelphia and
S25 900 in vessels damaged in the river,
The rainstorm which followed the tornado
also did q great deal Of damage. The
water In che s~chuylkill river this morning
was higher than ii has been for many
months.
A Hopeful silver View.
New YORK, Aug. 4.-The Sun, in q
leader, says: The present loan Of gold
to the Treasury by the banks Of this city
was made expressly upon the assurance
that gold would be needed only until
the meeting Of Congress in December, and
this is the general opinion of bankers and
merchants In this section Of the country.
The Sun thinks that the facts of the past
silver legislation and the prospects of the
future action Of the House, founded on
ascertsined views of members, justify the
conclusion that any proposition looking 10
the stoppage OF the coming Of the silver
dollar will meet the same fate In the
House as it did in the last one. An analy-
sis OF the House vote. as at present con-
stituted. shows only 1874 votes at the out
side fayoring tho ~stoppage of silver COIN
age, which is SO less than is necessary for
a majority on q full vote.
