Too Many Visitors.
MOUNT MCGREGoR, N. Y, June o. Gen.
Grant remained in doors all Saturday morn
ing, having had wakeful night. After re-.
firing Friday night he was quiet until mid
night, but he did not sleep Then nourish.
ment was given him and the pillows were
adjusted. He changed his position FIRE.
quently, hoping to become easier.
DR.. Douglas was summoned about
O'Clock. He found the general coughing,
although not enough to account for his ina.
bility to sleep. The cocoaine app LEGATION OF
the early evening had deadened the pain,
AMI there was no recurrence Of it DR..
Douglas cleansed the patients throat and ap
piled cocoaine again The lights were lowered
and Dr. Douglas stepped aside to await re-
suits, but the general could not sleep, and
morphine was again administered. This
brought relief though only in short maps.
In the morning the general was quite
weary and complained little. He had suf-
fered no unusual pain but his nerves could
not be quoted. DR.. Douglas thought there
had been too many visitors Friday.
The family, for the first time since their
arrival. rested continuously They were
not informed of the generals restlessness
until morning. They also think it was due
10 the bodily and mental irritation of Fri
day. The sufferer is far from cheerful. He
fears morphine is losing its power and he
breads a return Of insomnia.
Gen. Grant is never so much contented as
while sitting or walking on the broad porch
of his new home, with his little grand
children grouped about him. Friday after
noon he watched them for some time romp-
ing about on the greensward that sur
rounds the cottage A faint
smile lit up the sorrowful feat
ures Of the old hero as he
stood against the railing of the veranda,
leaning hard on his cane with one hand,
while the other was hidden in his pocket
He watched their movements intently. One
o. Je 'se Grants children climbed on the
generals lap while he was taking his food
on the veranda, Friday afternoon, and they
alto the dish together. This seemed to please
him immensely.
Almost as soon as Gen. Grant had taken
his chair on the piazza Saturday, a lad, who
headed delegation of twenty children
from the Saratoga high school, assembled the
steps, bearing in his hands large bouquet,
and advancing to where the general
sat, the young spokesman for
the party delivered carefully
prepared declaration of welcome and sym.
patty. As he finished he handed the flowers
to the general, who rose, and, bowling to the
children, family smiled, and signifisd de-
sire that DR.. Douglas should thank the chill
dren for their greeting and their token.
The physician did SO in pleasant words OF
thanks, which he said the general would be
glad to say himself if he could speak to
them, which was not possible in his condi-
ton. The general was not little touched
by the incident. The little party of children
trooped down the steps well pleased and
gladdened, returning to Saratoga.
Indignant All Around.
New YORK, June 22-The Courier des
Flats Unis, the organ of the French resi-.
dents of New York, attacks in bitter terms
the shameful manner at the city hall Friday
in which men with their hats
on and in their shirt-sleeyes pre-
vented invited guests from obtaining
refreshments The Irish citizens are in
dignant at the insults heapei upon the
Sixty ninth regiment and at the produce
exchange. The testimony of all concerned
will be taken, including the police and mill
tary. 1t is the all absorbing topic at the
produce exchange and police headquarters.
The complaint of the officers and men of
the Sixty-ninth is that while the regiment
was stationed in the street under the bal
cony of the produce exchange with hot
sun shining down on them, certain
members of the exchange and their
friends pelted them with doughballs,
tobacco guilds and grain. 1t was with
difficulty that the officers kept the regiment
from charging on the building, and they say
such bodies as the exchange show very poor
judgment when they insult the National
guard. The whole regiment is very warm
over the affair, and so are all the members
of the exchange who we're spoken to about
it, and they promise a searching investiga-
ton and punishment of the perpetrators Of
the insult.
How They Built the Railway.
New YORK, June % The suit of Ralph
W. Bagaley against William K. Vanderbilt
and others, to wind UP the affairs of the
Southern Pennsylvania Railroad syndicate,
and for distribution of its property, came
up for hearing Saturday before Chief
Justice Sedgwick, in the superior court, on
motion for an injunction and receiver
Counsel for Mr.. Bagaley in his argument
stated that the American Construction COM
pany, with nominal capital of 800 900,
and with 1000 paid in, made contract to
build the railroad for $40. 000, 900 of stock
and a like amount of bonds, a total Of
$40, 600, 900, the entire authorized CAPT.
tai of the railroad company, and
then the construction company made
a contract with syndicate of gen.
tlemen, comprising Mr.. Vanderbilt and
others, by which they turned over the entire
amount, substantially $40, 000, 600 in bonds
and stocks, for 81, OO0, 900, so that the road
was constructed at an expense of s15, OOO,-
OOO for which $40, 600, 900 of securities were
issued. This, as alleged in Mr. Bagaley's
bill, being in violation of the laws of Penn
sylvania, which prohibit stock and bonds of
corporations being issued for more than the
amount of money or property actually re-
ceived.
