Grant.

BY CHIEF JUSTICE MELVILLE W. FULLER.
Read at the Grant memorial meeting held il
Chicago, August 10, 1885.
Let drum to trumpet speak
The trumpet to the cannoneer without
The cannon to the heavens from each redoubt,
Each lOwly valley and each lofty peak,
As to his rest the great commander goes
Into the pleasant land of earned reposc.
The great commander, when
Is heard no more the sound of wars alarms
The bugle's stirring notes, the clang of arms,
depreciation tongue would whisper then
Only good fortune gave to him success.
When was there greatness fortune did not bless:
Not in his battles won,
Though long the well fought fields may keep thei
name,
But in the wide worlds sense of duty DONE
The gallant soldier finds the need of fame;
His life no struggle for ambitions prize,
Simply the duty done that next him lies.
And as with him of old
Immortal Captain of triumphant Rome,
Whose eagles made the rounded globe their home
How the grand soul OF true heroic mold
Dcsplsed resentment and such mcaner things
That peace might gather all beneath her wings.
No lamentations here,
The weary hero LAYS him down to rest
As tired infant at the mothers breast
Without a care, without thought OF fear,
waking to greet upon the other shore
The glorious host of comrades gone before.
Earth to its kindred earth:
The spirit to the fellowsh of souls.
As slowly time the mighty scroll unrolis
OF waiting ages vet to have their birth.
Fame. faithful to the faithful, writes on high,
Ills name AS one that was not born to die.

Many thunder storms in May,
And the farmer sings hey hey.
A swarm of bees in May is worth load of hay;
But a swarm in July is not worth Il fly.

FLOODS IN THE EAST.
Several River Overlooking Thei r
Banks and Causing Great Damage.

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 1S.-A heavy rain
storm Sunday night and Monday caused a
rise in the Lackawanna river. The debris
borne down the stream was blocked by the
bridge. The water, thus damned, over
flowed the banks and submerged one of the
principal ~thoroughfares for quarter of a mile.
When the people awoke this morning they
found their property covered with water to a
depth of several feet and themselves i'm
prisOned in their homes. They had to go
about in boats to-day. The damage to prop
erty is great.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. 1s.-The water in
the Susquehanna river at this point is rising
rapidly and a serious food is feared.
CARLISLE, Pa, Dec. 1S.-Reports from the
surrounding country and a number of towns
in the Cumberland valley show that thou
sands of dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed last night by one of the most dis
astrous rain storms which has ever visited
this district. In the rural districts dwelling
houses were unroofed, barns blown down,
trees uprooted and fences blown to pieces.
HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. lS.-At midnight
the Connecticut river is nineteen and a half
feet above highwater mark, and steadily ris-
ing Mt the rate of three inches an hour. This
rise is unprecedented, and serious apprehen-

THE ILLINOIS WHITE GAPS.
Preacher ana Alderman Holmes Pre-,
tccted by a Body.Guard.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-Rev. Mead
Holmes went home from council meeting
last night accompanied by a b~ody-guard to
protect him from the White Caps. A serious
part of the matter cropped out yesterday
when Alderman L. w. Blaisdel declared his
intention of commencing suit against Holmes
for SANDER. In an interview Saturday,
Holmes, it is claimed, intimated that Blais.
del was responsible for the White Caps, and
was also the author of a letter rejecting on
him CHolmesb in a paper printed in Chicago
in the interest of liquor dealers. Holmes has
received an enormous number of letters
from all over the country, both of encour-
agement and in condemnation of his course.
He has received a quantity of papers with
marked articles containing statements of
nutrages that the White Caps have done in
The country. He has also received a letter
signed by the initials Of the alleged officials
ofsthe genuine White Caps, claiming that the
first letter was bogus, and adding that if he
is further molested the real White Caps will
take up his cause. and avenge him. In the
council last night Holmes caused a sensa-
tion by producing a white cap and bomb
found on his dooratep.

THE DUDLEY LETTER.
The Federal Grand Jury stiii at Work
on the Matter.

I~Sp1ASAPotIs, ReeSiS.--A large number of
chairmeu of republican county committees
have been subpeuaed'to appear before the
federal grand jury, About a dozen of them
were before the committee to-day, as was
also Secretary Dille, Uf the state committee,
who said, on emerging from the jury room,
that he never saw y copy of what purports
TO be the Dudley letter, and has never seen
anybody who saw thelctter. Furthermore,
he don't believe that Dudley ever wrote such
a letter. CI
New York senate, who came to the city yes
terday with the Grend Army COMMITTEES
from Brooklyn, was subpunaed. During
the campaign Colonel Barker had charge of
the appointment bureau of the national res
publican committee. He appeared before tho
jury to-day, and II is reliably stated that one
of u few questions asked him was, Are you
familiar with the handwriting of w. w.
Dudley!' Barker is said TO have replied
that he is. The same authority states that
Acting District Attorney Bailey did not pro-
ducc any letter for Barker TO identify.
Information emanated from the United
States district attorneys Office this evening
to the effect that subpnnaes had been issued
and placed in the hands of officers to be
served upon Chairman Quay and Colonel
Goodloe, Immediately upon their arrival,
summoning them to appear before the grand
jury. The knowledge that the newly APP
pointed district attorney decided upon this
course of obtaining upon which
to secure an indictment, presumably in the
Dudley case, caused quite a sensation when
it became known about the Hobbies this even
ing, and Senator Quay's arrival is eagerly
awaited.
Senator Quay, accompanied by his
private secretary, T.. w. Leach, General G.
b. Williams and Ccnonel f.. a. Britton,
chairman of the inaugural committee, ar
rived in this city tonight at II o'clock. Ex-
President IL, b. Hayes came on tho same

correspondents. but cautiously avoided talk
ing about current politics. When informed

Wreck at South Omaha.

What might have resulted in q serious
railway accident was fortunately averted at
South Omaha yesterday morning. The dummy
train on the Union Pacific which leaves here
about 7 o'clock in the morning, was taking
water at South Omaha when the west-bound
through freight in charge of Conductor
Campbell came~ laundering along the track.
At this point there is a heavy incline in the
track and to stop the train was a matter
somewhat difficult. The engineer on the
freight train sounded the alarm, the brakes
men mounted the cars and with strong arms
turned tightly the brakes. The train
though being gradually slackened was near

effected the rear platform of the rear pas.
senger coach was torn to pieces and the
boiler of the engine protruded through the

is slight and nobody was iniuIe ed.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-12-19

Monday night the heads of the departments
of the Union Pacific and representatives of the
Electric Motor company held n consultation
in the general managers Office, and the re-
suit was that yesterday morning
q 10-cent rate between Omaha and
Council Bluffs went into effect on
the dummy train. The rate before
the electric motor went into competition was
% cents one way. 1t was subsequently re-
duced to 10 cents, and now another cut OF .
cents is made, making the fare 10 cents for
one way. by this action the communication
tickets on both the Union Pacific and the
electric motor will no longer be granted, and
no reduction will be made TO any class of
travellers. This will he severe on the work
ing-class that was enjoying the communication
rates, which only averaged about 6 cents for
the trip one way. As to the reason of the
change being made conflicting statements
are IN circulation. One Is to the
effect that the Union Pacific pas.
senger traffic had already suffered q
falling off of about 81 per c~ent,and that it has
been picked up by the motor company. This
report is contradicted at the headquarters of
the Union Pacific. General Manager Kim
ball when questioned stated that the charter
under which the city Of Council Bluffs
granted the franchise to the Electric Motor
company specified that the rate between the
two cities should be 10 cents for one way.
He stated that prior to the reduction in rates
by his road, an understanding was mad
whereby the rates should be made the same
on both lines-the Electric Motor and Union
Pacific. He stated that for this reason the
change was made. When asked if by abolish.
ing the Communication tickets the rates were
not in reality advanced from a general stand.
point, he said that nothing definite could be
said until a trial had been made. He was OF
the opinion, however, that 40 per cent of the
passenger traffice was under the ommut
ton ticket system. This reduction will only
apply locally and the 25-cent rate appended
to through tickets from eastern roads and
points will still remain in effect.
