New York dispatch: The removal OF
eneral Grant to Mt Gregor, which took
,oce to-day. has been looked upon by
banv with grave misgivings, and while his
wn family have judged it safe to make the
moval. it is impossible not to have grave
ors for the result. The general passed At
confess night and was much depressed
,d.emaciated The train started about 0
"a and arrived at 2:45 p. M. The gem
al bore the journey bravely, but the jolt
u of the train caused him much pain and
ticue. At Saratoga a large crowd gath
Id to meet him, but he was visible but a
oment. During the journey he recognized
be various points along the line familiar
s his earlier days, particularly West
Joint. DR.. Douglas stated that the general
klt less fatigue than was expected.
When General Grant alighted from the
train at Mt. Gregor, a large banner con-
konteShhim bearing the words, "Welcome
3 our hero" At that moment photo
tapher with q camera on the platform
box an instantaneous picture OF the gen.
BAL alighting. The general, steadied on
3ther side by his attendants, started to
{alk from the train to the Drexel cottage.
he ascent was easy and the distance
hort, but his strength failed and he was
laced in chair, which was carried to the
bttage by two porters. Mr.. Drexel and
(rs. Grant were close behind the general,
nd his household and servants followed,
brming q little procession. On the cottage
toorsN1iss Drexel welcomed the party and
bnd6cted the ladies to their rooms.
fThe general walked to his room on the
anne level as the broad piazza and there
Ie sank into chair with pillows beneath
Ind behind him. The perspiration was
Banding on his face, and the strain OF the
burney gave way to a reaction OF extreme
5eaknes.
He lay with closed eyes and the nurse
bnned his face. DR.. Douglas was anxious
b examine and cleanse the generals
broat. He found that considerable irri-
RtiQp had been caused by the fine black
Slst-which had lodged in his throat during
he Journey, but said that the surface I'M
erneath though inllamed appeared better
han he had expected. The swelling out
5de had steadily increased, after passing
hudson, and during the last hour OF the
tip rapidly filed forward on the neck and
elow the collar. The generals voice
bch was better at starting than on Mon
by, had utterly failed him, and any effort
speak resulted only in faint and almost
AUDIBLE aspirations. The doctor thought
bat this was due to fatigue, which was
teater during the last hour OF the trip
bsh al any other time.
When the doctor had cleaned and treated
3 throat, Gen. Grant appeared on the
Iazza and was seated on a pillow cush
med chair, with his feet restingin another
BIS skull cap was drawn down and his
Eek protected by the upturned collar of
5 gown. His elbows rested on the arms
a chair, his hands were clasped and his
Yes closed. After ten minutes he arose
nd With his cane slowly walked into his
bonn and lay down. In faint whispers he
4 DR.. Douglas know that he was very glad
Ie Journey was ended. Then his pulse was
khty beats to the minute.
THE family are quartered at the cottage,
lii DR.. Douglas has rooms in the house.
Dr.. Douglas remained the entire evening
Sh Gen. Grant, who despite his fatigue,
yakeful until 10 O'Clock. His throat
Shen painted with cocoaine and he set
for the night. The doctor went to the
Dining room though he has rooms at
) hotel, and the nurse was left to watch

Iiet as though sleeping.
