Carriage ynaided = Belief Expressed
Hswm Pail Through the summer.

NV YoRk, April 20.-At 1:55 O'Clock
this afternoon General Grants family car.
riage was driven to the door. Dr.. Douglas
arrived about the same time. General
Grant heard the rumble Of the wheels and
as the driver reined up the team the sick
man pulled aside the curtains a moment
to assure himself that the time had come
for the longed-for drive. at exactly 2
o'clock Harrison, with a fur robe upon his
arm, emerged from the house and pre-
pared the carriage. A moment later the
General appeared. He wore high hat,
about his neck was silk scarf and closely
buttoned about his figure was a heavy
beaver oyercoat. The General carried a
light cane, and unaided walked down the
steps with q firm step. As he crossed the
Tagging he bowed and smiled as q. hum
dred hats were lifted in salute by those
who had assembled on the walk across
the street. As the General was stepping
into the carriage he glanced up to the
colored fcoachman and bade him good
morning. Harrisonas he mounted to his
place with the driver remarked: That
don't look much like dead General, does
itPn And his face was broad with glee.
COLONEL FRED. eR.NT's OPINION.
When Colonel Fred. Grant left the
house at noon TO go down town he was
feeling hopeful. He said his father passed
better night last night than since. the
alarming symptoms had developed. He
was early dressed. When the General
was no worse 1t was safe TO assume he
was better, but more than that, there was
no doubt but that he was stronger even
than he was Sunday.
"A week ago, said the Colonel, "Idid
not believe father would live a week, or a
day for that matter, but now belieye he
Is going through the summer all right
When DR.. Newman left the house he
said the General was asked on Sunday II
he would not go out for drive in the
afternoon. He was silent little while
and then said: mo, this is Sunday
Prayers for my recovery have been offered
to-day in many places, perhaps, through
the country, and / think 1t better l should
not 20 out until Monday.
The General was driven TO Mount st.
Vincent and around the west side Of the
park and back, having been gone 50 min
utes. He left the carriage the first OF the,
party and walked firmly and unaided up
10 the steps and into the house.
Hamilton Fish and wife called during
the afternoon and remained in the house
some time. About s o'clock this evening
q delegation from the Union Veteran
Army Club, headed by General Lewis 5.
Barney, called and presented a series Of
resolutions, wherein the members Of the
Grant family were requested ito whip
out the doctors II it took all summer
The delegation was received by Colonel
Fred Grant, who assured the gentlemen
OF his fathers good will for the organiza-
ton. i
DIR. Douglas arrived about 8 $50 p! N. and
will probably y.stay during the night.

Pertaining TO the Death OF Vice Presi-

Washington, Nov. 26--About twenty
senators assembled at IL o'clock this
morning. upon invitation of Senator
Edmunds, in the judiciary committee
room of the senate to select committee
to represent the senate at the funeral of
the vice president. They selected the
following committee: Senators Ed
munds, Sherman, Harris, Allison, Voor-
hees, Pugh, Cullem, Gibson, Conger,
Blair, Dawes, Camden and Vest. Most
of the senators named were at the meet
ing. In addition there were present
Senators Logan. Morrill,, Waltham,
Dolph, Van Wyck, Morgan, Jones, OF
Arkansas, Berry, Cockrell and Ransom.
There were expressions of sorrow on al
hands, but in view of the near approach
of the meeting of the senate no formal
or eulogistic speeches were made. The
chairman of the meeting, Senator Ed
munds, and Sergeant-at-Arms Canady
were authorized to make the necessary
arrangements for the transpoi tatlon and
entertainment of the committee.
There was also meeting of twenty
five members of the house In the
speakers room, at which the clerk OF the
house was authorized to request the at.
tendance at the funeral of the following
members as representatives of the houBe

and requested their attendance.
The work of draping the
various public buildings with mourn
ing emblems was begun to-day
but on account of the holiday, the stores
all being closed, and the consequent i'm
possibility OF obtaining mourning goods,
very little progress was made. The
draping of the white house, interior and

buildings is nearly completed. For the
same reason, probably, but few stores or
dwellings in the city are decorated.
Flags all over the city foated at half
mast all day. At the treasury depart
ment kilograms poured in from the cus-
todIans of public buildings throughout
the country asking to be authorized to
drape the buildings under their charge
with emblems of mourning. Tele-
graphic authorization was sent in about
sixty cases.
The president yesterday Was greatly
shocked at the news OF the death of the
vice president, and at once sent the
following to Mrs. Hendricks:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
Nov. 25-Mrs. T. A. Hendricks, India
nspolis: The sudden and lsmentable
death of your husband excites my pro-
found sympathy for you in this hour of
your great bereavement, and sincerely

ted with mo in the execution of the

mourns the loss OF an honored citizec
and faithful public servant.

By tho death of Vics President Hen
bricks the country is once more brought
face to face with an unpleasant and dam
gerous possibility. Should President
Cleveland die before congress assemblies
no one can succeed to the presidency.
There Is no president pro tempore of the
senate and no speaker of the house. Dur
ing the extra session of the
senate last March the re
publican majority therein
desired to elect temporary presiding
officer, but Mr.. Hendricks would not
give them the desired opportunity by va
eating the chair. A precedent for this ac-
ton was given by Vice President Arthur,
who declined to permit the democratic
senate to elect pro tenn president aud
when Mr.. Garfield died the situation wss
similar to the situation of to-day. Now
that both parties have enjoyed
the sensation of placing the
country in an uncomfortable
predicament it is probable some provls.
ion will be made for an emergency OF
this nature. Nothing more difficult to
secure than law of congress is needed
and bill covering the ground has been
before that body since the death of Gar.
field. Congress will assemble in regular
session on the 9TH of December. There
is no prospective danger of president
ial vacancy before that time. Death
however, frequently strikes sudden
blow and president is no more exempt
than the humblest citizen of the land.
1t seems to be deemed tolerably GER
tain that Senator Edmunds will be ele
waited to the vice presidency, o position
held by him during the latter portion oi
President Arthur's administration. He
will, however, make no effort to secure
the election. There is feeling in the
west that the desires and purposes Of the
republican party would be carried out
by placing Senator Logan in the chail
of the vice president. He was the party
candidate for the second place
upon the ticket and has been q mem
bsr of tie senate long enough to entitle
him to such mark of distinction. There
are indications from Washington thai
Senator Logan's friends will make al
effort to elect him acting vice president

In the city of Atlanta the prohibition
proposition was carried by a majority OF
about 200 in total vote of 5000. Great
excitement and enthusiasm accompanied
the result. The contest was particlpa.

which Atlanta is located. In the country
precincts the prohibition proposition
carried easily and the opposing city
majority was not sufficient to defeat it.
1t is announced that this is the begin.

A CARD OF THANKS.

MIR. EDITOR Almost Immediately after the
memorable floods of August 81 1885, had spent
their fury, leaving behind in their ruthless and
unreenting wake so many scenes OF indescribabe
desolatioD, very few If any places in the course
of its sweeping sway exhibited more complete
picture of an hydrostatic pandemonium, than
was witnessed by the eyes of plying multi
tudes at the old Milford Mills, near the Rocks of
Deer Creek. Indeed, more distressing appear
ance of a sweeping wreck of business matter or
crush of human prospects never was looked
upon, save to battle description of pen Of sage or
poet. 1, was simply reproduction in miniature
of the CHASTITY scenes recorded of an universal
1eluge, confined to the narrow limits of the ro-
maptic rock-bound valley of Deer Greek. 1t was
in the midst of this mass of ruins, and at a time
when the financial affairs of the present owners
were in deplorable condition, their spirits en-
shrouded with the deepest gloom of domestic af-
Fiction, that the new settlers on the Inflated
home of recent purchase sought for comfort and
announcement at the houses of their neighbors.
They found it in the person of Mr.. j.. Polk

upon the memory forever. Said he: go on and

ing up the dam. And last though not least of all

be remembered with gratitude. And now that
