VERANDA
INTERIOR OF COTTAGE.

During the night life was sustained by
aypodermic injections of brandy. At 9
jclock in the morning, July %, DR.. Douglas
said:
''His brain, his heart and lungs are alive.
and that is all I can say of either or of all.
A few minutes after Dr. Shrady sent the
last bulletin of Gen. Grants illness to The
Medical Record under the headline "At
Last" It closed the story.
Mrs. Grant and Fred had not moved from
their positions during the night except at
intervals of few minutes. Twic, during
the night the dying man had whispered
feably: "Water" But he grew too weak to
swallow it. Then Mrs. Grant dipped hand
kerchiefs in ice water AMI wetted his lips
from time to time.
So they watched and waitei At length
the supreme momen; came.
Papa" said Mrs. Sartoris 'don't you
know me! Don't you know Nellie?"
He opened his eyes and fixei them on this
beloved daughter with faint look of recog-
nltion An eloquent and touching story of
this final moment is taken from The New
York Sun:
'Her's was the last face be saw. In a
moment more the tense and weary look
went out of his face, his eyes closed, and
with one faint breath his life left him.

"It was sos by the clock. Not leaf
stirred on the trees in the warm morning
air without, and there was not cloud in the
sky. A splash of red midsummer sunlight
came in through the open window, and had
been falling full upon portrait of kindly
faced Lincoln which hung on the wall just
over the head of the bed and beside por-
trait Of the dying man himself, and it was
just as the last Of this light crept of the
frame Of the picture to the wall that tho
general ceased to breathe" Rev. Dr. New
man, the well-known belligerent doctor Of
divinity, formerly Mrs. Grants pastor, had
been lingering about the cottage for some

At Z o'clock p H., July "a, the general
beckoned his son, Col. Fred Grant. and
nodded towards the bed at one side Of the
parlor In that room and on The veranda
he had spent most Of the last five weeks.
He had sat in chair because the gathering
mucus in his throat would have strangled
him in a reclining posture. But now when
Col Fred said:
''Do you wish to lie down, fathers" he
nodded ''yes"
He attempted to rise, but fell back, and
his head sank upon his breast. Col. Fred
and the nurse helped him to the couch, and
laid him at full lengt, It was the first
time in four months that he had thus lain
upon bed. They knew then that he must
be very weak. All night they watched him.
Mrs. Grant sat beside him, tanning him,
holding his hand. Immediately behind her
mother, looking over her shoulder, stood
Mrs. Sartoris the generals dearly beloved
daughter Nellie. Co. Fred stood at the
heal of the bed, at intervals smoothing his
dying father's brow. No daughter could
have been tenderer or more thoughtful than
CoL Fred has been all these dreary nine
months. He has tended the suffering gen.
eral with perfect and touching devotion.
Opposite Mrs. Grant, on the other side Of
the bed, stood Jesse Grant and U. S. Grant,
j: At the foot stood the generals three
daughters-in-law.

GRANTS DEATH-BED.
PORTRAIT FROM THE LAST PHOTO
GRAPH OF HIM EVER TAKEN
"I Can Safely Go the Road that Millions
Have Gone Before Me"-Peaoe-
full End Of . Years
Suffering.



SARATOGA, July est could only be with
feeling Of relief and thankfulpsss that the
country heard at last that Gen. Grant was
no more. His was the wearisomest, pain
fullest illness and death mortal man is often
called to suffer.
Your readers have had the main facts of
his closing days by telegraphic dispatches.
But there are points Of interest and scenes
which mere outline of fact could not dis
close. At this moment everything con-
nected with Gen. Grant is Of interest. In the
history of the country his is the fourth death
to attract universal national attention The
first was that of Washington. Then came
the tragedy of Lincoln and that OF Garfield.
Now Gen Grant, the greatest soldier our
country has produced In the last half cen-
tury, has gone to join the rest. He was
honored among nations abroad as no other
living American was; dead, he is mournel
at home along with Washington AMI Lins
colu.
The last five weeks of the generals life
were spent at Mt. McGregor, near Saratoga.
When be went there, June 49, there was an
unexpressed fear in all hearts that he would
never leave the pleasant cottage till he was
carried out in his coffin. He rallied at first,
but grew weak again during the intense
heat Of the last two weeks. July 81 it be-
came clear to his physicians that death was
near. They told members of his family
what to look for. From the time this hint
was given they stood about him and watchel
the great life go out hour by hour.

They pitched their tent upon the needles
beneath the pine trees.
Grant was terribly emaciated. He
weighed at his ieath much less than 1(C
pounds.
During his military career he had taken
part in more than thirty battles and innun
cradle smaller skjrmishes He was president
Of the Society Of the Army Of the Potomac.
During his illness he signed 500 certificates
for newly elected members of that organiza-
ton. All wished to have the old command
er's name to their certificates.
Gen. Grant left no wish concerning his
burial place, except that it be in some spot
where his wife might rest beside .him.when
her time came to go. Immediately on hi'
death offers of places Of sepulture were tele-
graphed from Springfield, ILL.,; from the Ma
tional Soldiers cemetery at Washington and
elsewhere. The mayor of New Yolk city
offered Central park The board of alder
men seconded the cffer. After some consid-
GRAFTON, the proposition was accepted.

NEW YORK, July SO-At 1:S0 O'Clock
Thursday, July %, Queen Victoria's eighth
and only remaining single child, Bea-
trics Mary Victoria, was married to a
very small German princeling of the
name of Henry Maurice, OF Battenberg.
The wedding took place at St. Mildred's
church, Whippingham, near Osborne, Isle
of Wight
1t was an out-of-the-way place to be mar;
ried in, especially for princess of the blood
royal of England. 1t isn't very nice blood,
or over healthy, but still it is awfully stiff
Queen Victoria's daughters, though they are
not bit handsome, are the most stuck-up
young women dn Europe They and their
mother think hardly anybody in Europe is
good enough to marry them. But there
were so many of them that there were not
royal Protestant husbands enough to 60
around, and toward the last the poor things
had to take what they could get Or be old
mails Princess Beatrice was 2S. She has
lived alone with her mother for years, the fnv-
orite, the staff and support Of that somewhat
what oppressive old dame. 1t is whispered,
to be sure, that once between whiffs of her
cigarette, Princess Louise remarked confden-
italy:

Bees brothers and sisters and high-toned
relatives didn't want her to be married in a
co mon parish church. They thought it
was not grand enough. But Queen Victoria
would have it so, because of the associations.
Prince Albert used to attend service there.
He helped fix the church up and decorate it
once, besides. Therefore it had to be Whip

Princess Louise herself did not make such
a great catch in the matrimonial sea. She
only married the Marquis of Lorne, son of a
common duke, Scotch Argyll. His blood
is as old as that of Queen Victoria herself,
and his ANCESTORS have always been respect
able people. Queen Victoria's ancestors
have not, by a long measure. Still, not be-
ing Of royal blood, Lorne can't go in End

and funerals. Prince Henry of Rattenberg

married to his princely father, except in
the left-handed way, but that doesn't count.

JUVENILE RECEPTION.

Perhaps the most pleasant party of young
people eyer gathered together in this city
met at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. w.
Levy, on North Topeka avenue yesterday
evening, the occasion being a reception
given to Master Cassius NJ. Kohn, of New
York, by Master c. Sedgwick Levy. 1t was
most brilliant party of little folks and to
say they were all delighted with the enter
tainment would be expressing it too
mildly.
Following are the names of those who
participated: Annie and Amelia Wiegand,
Max Oliver, Florence Exton, Roy Corbett,
Lena Fechheimer, Rolla Allen, Ollie Magill,
Sophia and Josie Getto, Susie Houck, Gil
bert and Joel Tucker, Reby Todd, Alfred

A long table spread with ice cream,
cake, and long list of refreshments, was
erected in the lawn, which was surrounded
by The merry juvenile throng- Each child
received a favor; each boy book and har-
monica and each girl book and doll. a
lottery was an interesting feature of the en-
tainment, the prizes being put into box
and drawn by numbers. The chief prize, a
gold lo,ket and chain, was drawn by Mary
Hyde The party broke up at dusk and the
little folks went home highly delighted with
the evenings entertainment.

THE INDIAN SCARE.

The Indian scare has subsided to the great
relief of everybody. Ali sorts Of rumors
flew around yesterday and reporters were
besieged on every hand by anxious enquir-
ers of bloody news. Several were reported
to have received dispatches from the scene
of blood. Capt Tony Bruhn received a wire
message dated at Kingman telling him to
hold his jack-ass battery in readiness, that
the savages had swooped down upon the de-
fenseless settlers, plying the torch and the
tomahawk, sparing neither Old nor young,
houses, crops, everything was reduced TO
ashes and woe held exultant sway amid
desolation and death. The war whoop of
the savage and the hoarse yell Of the white
man was mingling in death agony while
along the dim corridor of the Minnesota
came the piercing cry Of terrified women
and the shivering wall of butchered chill
dren. Tony blames John Fisher for this
extraordinary lightning message. Later on
he received message from Chief Long
check, saying he, the big Injun,would not be
ready for his scalp for month yet and was
in no hurry TO capture the Jack-ass battery.
Lon Holding said it would never do to send
Tony to the front because some friendly red
skin might come in with the countersign and
Tony couldn't remember it and would tell
him TO go 10 the revised edition.

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.

A case is pending before Receiver Dyer
and Register Walker, of the Z. 5. land Of
fee, involving the title TO quarter section
of land. the evidence in which was classed
yesterday. The case was that of Gill vs..
S. p Mitchell, and is contest over quar-
ter section in township thirty-one, range
four west, situated in Sumner county, four
miles northwest Of Argonia. The testimony
showed the defendant purchased the land,
and is the third owner from the government;
that he had paid taxes and interest on the
purchase money since 1882, and erected
thereon valuable buildings, and cultivated
sixty acres Of the tract. The plaintiff filed
papers of contest on grounds of fraudulent
entry by defendants vendors.
There is a large number of like cases be-
fore the land office in this dis
trict the principal of which
has Just been decided in
the L. S. circuit court of Oregon, in which
it is held that the L. S. general land COM
missioner cannot set aside fraudulent entry
when rights of second, or innocent, parties
are affected. This decision adhered TO will
virtually settle the title of more than 10000
acres of lands in western Kansas, in favor of
present holders.
Two other cases were up yesterday. The
United States in relation TO W. A. Brooch vs..
Geo. II. Phillips, contest Of Usage cash
entry; in relation to James Cummins VS..
Mrs. Willie L. Jackson, contest.
These cases are investigated and the evil
dence taken, and the action Of the commits
sioners of the local land Office is confirmed
by the United States land commissioner at
Washington if no appeal is taken.

THE FLOODS.

A gentleman who resides at Oswegc and
who was seen al the depot yesterday morn
ing by reporter, tells dolcful tale of the
destruction by floods along the Neosho and
Labette rivers. Parsons is entirely cut off
from the outside world and the valleys of
the Neosho and Labette are q sea of floods.
A vast amount of damage has been done to
crops and stock has suffered much. Three
bridges east of Columbus on the Frisco were
carried off and swept away down the stream.
About thousand feet of cmbankment and
five hundred feet of track has been swept
away and it will be probably a week before
any freight can come through on the Frisco
line This has been an IN usually hard
season on the railroads. The Frisco is in
such bad shape all along the line that q
heavy force will be necessary 10 keep il in
safe running order, and the Fort Scot; will
probably put their track force to work
building projections at the bridge sp-
proaches along their line. Everything is
clear on the Fort Scott now.
