Discomfort Of Waiting ThOusands-Arrival

From MONDAY for hours into the
afternoon the vicinity Of the tomb and
Riverside Park was the scene Of dis
comfort for the waiting thousands.
Heat followed the cool of the morning,
and succeeding hours added heat and
hundreds and thousands Of people. The
latter suffered much in this cramped
position Of waiting in the blazing sun
shine.
The steel case rested within the tomb
upon two marble blocks . feet high.
feet wide, and Il inches thick. Slml-
lar marble blocks had been sunk in the
floor, flush with the surface. and upon
these the remains OF Mrs Grant are
expected 10 repose. Soon after ] o'clock
drum-beats and the blare Of trumpets
was heard from the lower end Of
the park. A carriage came IN view. In
il was General Hancock. he was the
only occupant, and stood erect. Troop
ing behind him, on horseback, were the
members Of his staff. The General
rode TO a point near the tomb, when ne
alighied. He was met by Superintcnd-
ent Murray. Commissioner Cummias,
and others Of the Park Board. General
Hancock's staff and aides swept pat.
Among them were General Fitzhugh
Lee and General Gordon, both
ex-Confederate Generals. They wore
ssshes of gray silk. Upon the com
manding slope, one hundred yards
north Of General Grants tomb, the
staff officers and aides drew rein be-
meath q clump Of spreading trees.
Meantime helmets were glistening and
plumes were waving over the slope
TO the southwark. The trappings upon
many horses shone in the sunlight.
Cannon and limbers, drawn by horses
that were driven by artillerymen,
came over the brow Of the southern
slope. Regulars and marines. with
Light-Bsttery :, Of the Fifth artillery,
were coming down the drive. They
marched out upon the slope where
General Hancock's staff was halted,
and there the infantry and marines a.
sumed aposition ofrest in the shade. The
Twenty-second and Seventh regiments
marched up from the east and down ~
the tomb, and were drawn up in line on
the brow OF the bluff overlooking the
river. The line reached beyond the
view from the tomb, around the slope
on the crest Of which was Hancock

Young Gould's "Puts and Calls"

Special to the indianapolis journal
New YORK, May 9.-The novelty in Wall
street during the week has been George j. Gould
as a writer of puts, calls and straddles. He did
not write many, but was willing to. George is
brief and erratc in his business ventures. His
departure into this branch of stock gambling
was sufficiently astonishing to attract attention,
but it did not bring numerous buyers of his
slips. 1t must be understood that perfect conf
dence in the solvency of the man who issues
such contracts is essential. Russell Sage and
Deacon White with their millions, are deemed
mono too solid to trust in this manner. Young
Gould has been asked daily whether his father
responsible for his puts and calls, and he has
had to answer no, for Jay had declined to sane
ton them at all. Therefore Georges issue Of
obligations to buy or sell Western Union and
the several other stocks as to which he proposed
to take risks has been trifing, although there is
no sound reason to doubt that his promises
would be conscientiously kept.

Chewed to Death.

NEW YORK. May "a seven year-old boy
named Willie Evans was almost chewed to death
by savage dog this afternoon, in his mothers
bedroom The animal was owned by family
that lived in the same house. on Thirty ninth
street.
While the boy was trying to sweep the room
the dog jumped at the broom and then at him.
He threw him upon the floor and began to tear
the flesh from his back. The lad fought as best
he could, but the enraged brute gnawed at his
wrists, legs and arms.
His screams finally attracted the attention of
his father, and he rescued him by clubbing the
dog. The lad was so badly bitten though, that
he will likely die.
