HERE is something new from N

HERE is something new from New
York Tribune gossip:
Harrison, the colored body servant OF
General Grant, is earning a living as q
compOsitor in the government printing
house at Washington. A typesetter who
has been working alongside of Harrison
tells this story with reference to what Gen
eral Grant desired should be his last rest
ing place. Two or three days before the
general died, he called Harrison to him
and wrote q note On one of the pads that
he always kept at his elbow. II was a
statement OF where he wished to be buried
he was IN the habit of writing messages
OF this kind and handing them 20 Rarri-
son, and sometimes gave directions to the
colored man in writing, so that Harrison
felt free, as he stood there awaiting the
generals instructions, to read what he
had written. The general folded the note
and placed It In an envelope and told Har-
risnn TO deliver It To Mrs. Grant three
days after he should die. The note
was actually delivered on the second day
after the generals death, instead of the
third, because of the pressure that had
been brought to bear on Mrs. Grant on
this subject Harrison refuses TO answer
any questions regarding the contents of
the note except that when asked If the
general Is buried In accordance with his
wishes he replies positively in the mega
tive

conductor Searle Of the i'll fated train
that was wrecked and destroyed at REQ
WAS better to-day. He will recover.
This afternoon he talked freelv. What he
recalls Of the passengers In the coach
whoee occupants were cremAted Is i'm
portAnt as having bearing In establish
ing the minimum number killed and In
aiding to fix their identity. He remem-
bers and can describe seventeen people
and knows tn at there were more in the
coach, so that 1t is evident that the fatal
ity must have been at least twenty and
probably more. Among those whom he
describes are Mrs. Q. Scherer, of WI
mona, her children and her mother-in-
Law, Mrs. r. Jones, two Sisters of Char
ity, bound for WinOna; Louis Brinker
and Emil WGltersdOri, OF Columbus,
Wisconsin; Two women who got on &C
Chicago, one of them with q child; ChAs.
Smith, who escaped; an unknown man,
who boarded the train at WAtertown
and who was bound for Mansion,
Wisconsin,; man with q ticket
for Saltwater, Mimi three loggeTs
tIcketed for Mansion, probably TO 90
to work in tie pineries. This loss
does not include novitiate who accom-
panied the Catholic sisters, nor Walter
ooott, j. 7. Lincolr, Mrs. @. N. Maker
ST Rock Island, the commercial traveller
Dibble, or Mrs. Lowry of Milwaukee,.
The latter lie probably q mistake, as no
such person is known here. There ia
little doubt that the three pinery men,
whose presence on the Car Con-
ductor SsArle recalled to-day for
the first time, persisted. He
had left them but . few minutes before
curled up asleep on the benches. The
Identity of the Catholic sisters was fully
established to-day. Mother CLARA, sup
eriOE Of franciscan convent at Winona,
| WAS not one of them as first reported.
! The victims were members Of the con-
vent. One was Sister AIphonse, sister
| to Mother Alexa, and well known in
Catholic circles throughout the north
| west Another was Sister Dionesia. They
were accompanied by Albertine Schmidt,
Of New Castle, Wisconsin. who was q
candidate for the order. A Portage dis
patch says, the work of identifying the
dead is progressing slowly. The body OF
q man whose legs and arms had been
| burned eff and whose distorted face bore
evidence of the terrible agony he had
suffered WAS identified as Louis Brinkef.
The body of Emil WoltersdOrf WAS found
under 8 pile Of Iods and trussss. His
head was burned to 8 cinder and every
particle of clothing had been destroyed
| The bodies Of sisters AlphOnse and Dr.
| Oaesia were found close together. One
was in Q kneeliug posture, her hands
clasped In prayer. The body Of Q man
who is supposed to be Walter Scott was
removed from under o seat.

whose names Manager Miller had were

There should be one added TO Mr Nil

thirteen. This is probably the fGn num-

names Of the others are secured.
MILWAUKEE,, Oct. 2S.-From the most
roliahle accounts obtainable tonight the

Gould not Agree.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-At to-day's ses-
sion of the Southwestern railway associA-
ton 1t was found that no progress could
be made in recognizing the percent
ages until 8 decision was reached IS to
what business could be pooled. This
point could not be arrived 1T until the
fierce war along the Kansas lines was
settled, as the fight has been seriously
affecting the pool revenues. It was fnAlly
agreed to arrange Q conference with the
Kansas Lines At st. Louis on
Wednesday, at which time an
attempt will be made to stop the war.
The same difficulty was met In regard to
the lumber trouble. The st. Paul and
northwestern roads which do not belong
to the pool, hold the key to the situation.
As q result of to-day's discussion con-
ference will be held In Q couple Of weeks
with all lines ending at the Missouri river
and an effort made to form Q lumber
pool, taking in all of the Chicago and
northwestern roads. The meeting
81 St. Louis Wednesday next.
