ANOTHER RUMOR About GRANTS BODY
MRS. GRANT HAS NOT HEARD OF THE PLAN
FnR REMnVING LIZ From RIVERSIDE PARK.

MRS. GRANT HAS NOT HEARD OF THE PLAN
FOR REMOVING 1T FROM RIVERSIDE PARK.
The rumor of the probable removal Of General
Grants body from this city either TO West Point. or
to the National Cemetery al Arlington was revived
yesterday. This time the statement was attributed
to George W. Childs, of Philadelphia and he was
credited with saying that the Grand Army was anxious
to have the body removed to Arlington and that special
arrangements had been made to permit the burial OF
Mrs. Grant by her husbands side. Ms. Grant said
yesterday, at her house, No. Wcst SxtysIxth-st ST.,
that she had heard nothing Of the plan, and did not
wish make any statement at present.
The story is not new one IL was started In
1855, when It embarrassed the work of the Grant
Monument Fund Association so much that Mrs. Grant
wrote to ex-Mayor William K. Grace, president Of
the association. saying that she had selected River
side Park as the burial place because New-York was
10 be her and she wished TO have the tomb where
She could visit II frequently. The story was revived
last spring and explicitly denied by Colonel Frederick
ID. Grant Minister TO Austria. The officers Of the
Grant Monument Association place no credence 10
the present story.
