death Of Gen. Grant. These reso-
lutiOns have since been elaborate.
~ engrossed and bound in album
form. \ committee of the Board
Of Aldermen took the album in a
carriage up to Mrs. Grants house,
on East Slxty.sixth street, this
afternoon. Mrs. Grant had ap.
pointed 4 o'clock as the hour at
which she would receive them. Col.
Grant introduced the members of
the committee to his mother, who
in reply to Alderman Moneys
presentation speech, said that New
York had done so much for the
General that she could not express
thanks. The General had chosen
New York as his resting place, and
his body would never be removed.
She hoped at the end of her life to
be placed at his side. She spoke
also Of the great number of beauti.
FIJI memorials which had been pre-
scented to them, and said that
special room is to be reserved for
their proper arrangement and pres
eryation. The resolutions are en-,

was chatting the other day with
a resident of Detroit, says a writer
in the New York Tribune, when
happened to ask for some particu-
lars of the Palm family, whose
daughter has recently been the
subject of so much attention from
Senator Jones of Florida. My &C.
quaintance said "l'rancis Palm is
one Of the richest men in all Michi.
gan. His wealth is estimated at
S2O,0OO,0OO to S25,OOO,OOO. lie
made it III a curious way. He is a
French Canadian. When he came
to Michigan he invested what
money be had in pine lands. lie
got q large acreage for very little
money. He quarreled with his
wife, and for fifteen years they did
not speak to each other. Mean
while he could not get his wife to
sign a single deed. SO he could
not dispose of his land, and some
of the time it was pretty close scrap
ing for him to pay the taxes. He
found out long before his wife and
he became recOnciled that holding
on to the land was the biggest kind
of an investment and followed that
policy finally from choice. He is
close and penurious in his habits,
and the story is told that he will
not read by any light more eXpen-
siye than u tallOw candle. lie has
a sou who became Disguised with
his fathers ways and went Oft to
New Orleans where he made a small
fortune for himself when the old
gentleman induced him to come
home again. The daughter is afraid
that every man who speaks to her
is o foTtune.hunter. She is about
thirty.two not especially handsome,
we'll educated and bright. A young
Detroit man who tried to win her,
followed her on tour to Europe
and came back without luck. The

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE At CULPEpER- LOSS
S50.000-THE INSURANCE.

CrLPEPER, VA, April 4.-I'irc
was discovered at $50 o'clock Sat.
urday m0tning issuing from the
rear portion of the Stonewall
Building, large frame house, corn
err of Main and Davis streets, this
'Own, IN which were located the
large drug store of o. G. Cole, the
Exponent printing, Office, j. McD.
Green's law Office and Carvcr's res.
taurant. Soon after the Iarm
the fire company was promptly on
the ground, bntowing to the highly
inildmmable material it soon be
came evident that nothing could
be done towards saving this build
ing, and attention was turned to
the surrounding property. The fire
spread rapidly in all directions,
and the facilities at hand were en-
tlrely inadequate to cope with the
flames. Efforts we're turned to
saving the large four-story brick
drug store Of J. b. Gorrell, Just
across the street. In this the citi-
zens were successful, though the
building was on fire several times.
The large plate.glass widows were
all shlyered, aud the house cOnsid-
erably damaged by fire and water.
While the force was concentrated
here the flames had made great
Roadway, crossing Davis street to
the large frame house occupied by
W. {. Norris as Il dwelling, and as
a store by T. j. Sullivan 4; also the
stores Of T. 5. Alcock a. Co., W. A.
Ashby, j. IL. Judd & Co. These
were all burned The fire reached
the large brick grocery aud provis-
ion store Of W. j. ShotwelI, which
was also entirely destroyed. At
this point the fire was gotten un.
der control. Twenty houses were
either burned or torn down to pre-
vent the spread of the flames. The
loss is about $4,000.
After the fire had been CONTROL
ed, and la;e Saturday evening, 1G
barrels Of apple brandy were dis
covered on a vacant lot, which had
been rolled from the rear of some
store. The manufacturer had for.
gotten to place any stamps on it.
No one coming forward to claim it,
1t was taken in charge by Deputy
Collector Newhouse, and now
awaits an owner, who does not
seem anxious to claim it AT present.
The fire is supposed 10y many to
have been OF lncendiary origin.

A FATAL COLLISION BETWEEN THE STRIE
Frs AND GUARDS IN TEXAS.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, April ).
The suggestive quiet that mark
ed the passage of the freight trains
throughout the city as they lett
theyards was not withoutits sequel.
When the train left the depot it
was underline protection OF a posse
of officers, commanded by jim
COPYRIGHT. The train proceeded
to the crossing of the Fort Worth
and New Orleans road, when 1t
stopped as usual. What followed
is reported by a railroad employe,
who was on the train
He says that when the train
stopped it was noticed that sever
al men were congregatcd on the
track in front of the train. The
posse commander approached them
and asked why they impeded the
progress Of the train, to which they
replied that they had nothing TO do
with it, they we're not armed and
had no intention ofintertering with
the road. As the officers returned
to the train they noticed several
men sitting or lying in the grass a
few Yards from the track. The
entire posse advanced towards the
men in ambush until they had
reached a ditch alongside the track
when they commanded throwing
up of hands. The command was
obeyed, but as the hands came up
they brought Winchester rifles,
which bleached forth a deadly fire.
The posse returned the fire, it is
said, with fatal effect, There were
perhaps one hundred shots fired.
After the first fire the posse add
vanced and continued firing. The
amushers retreated behind some
piles of ties which proved a most
excellent breastwork, and from the
security of which they poured a
heavy fire into the posse. From
this position they were finally dis
lodged and driven beyond range OF
the posses pistols. The casualties
among the posse were found to be
there: Police Officer Tutford, shot
through both legs Special Officer
Dick Townsend, shot through left
breast near the nipple, fatal
Special Officer Needs, shot through
the heart and jaw.
The casualties among ambushers
is only a matter of conjecture,
though there seems TO be good
grounds for saying that three OF
more of them were wounded, prob
ably fatally. The same authorl-
ty SAYS there were half a dozen OF
more horses visible from tue trains
that were ambushed, which 1t IS be
lieyed belonged to the ambushlne
party. The posse CARED the wound
ed men aboard the train, which
backed into Union depot where the
wounded were lying when the re-
porter saw them.

THE CULLoM ANDREAGAN BILLS.

THE CULLOM AND REAGAN BILLS
A correspondent asks the GLOBE to state
the difference between the CULLoM and
REAGAN interstate commerce bills, which
in the opinion of the GLOBE is preferable.
and what distinctive features of each are
embodied in the new bill recently agreed
upon by the conference committee.
Both the CUILOM and REAGAN bills pro-
pose to control railroad transportation and
regulate railroad tariff rates by national
authority.
The CULLoM bill provides for the creation
of a railway commission. The REAGAN
bill does not.
The REAGAN bill prohibits rebates and
drawbacks, while the CULLoM bill only
prohibits giving any advantage by such de-
vices.
The REAGAN bill prohibits pooling while
the CULLoM bill leaves that feature to the
reports of the future commission and the
action of future legislators.
The REAGAN bill prohibits a higher
charge for short haul than a long one.
The bill agreed upon by the conference
committee follows the CuLLOM idea OF Gre
ating a commission. and adds to it the REA-
GAN feature of prohibiting higher charge
Tor short haul than a long one The
question propounded as to which of the two
bills. the CULLoM or the REAGAN, is pref
cradle. opens up for discussion the whole
railroad problem. The field is too large to
be invaded in this connection. When we
say to our correspondent that the railway
corporations are unanimously in favor of
the CULLoM bill he can. perhaps, draw
his own conclusion as to which one of the
tbills is to be preferred by the people. 1t is
Eiue to the railway corporations to say that
IF left to their decision in the matter congress
would not pass any sort of an interstate
commerce bill. They prefer the CUE LON
bill in the sense that it presents to the m a
choice of evils. The feature Of the CUL LON
bill which is most attractive to the corpora
tons is that which provides for the creation
of railway commission. And it will be
tbseYyed that The conference committee had
