Avoids the Neighborhood.

buffalo. y. Y, Sept. With a
common impulse, TO spare the sufferer
the annoyance that noise would in
fict, the public avoids the neighbor-
hood where the Milburn residence is
located. Early in the night a small
crowd gathered near the house, eager
for news Of the president. but the
police had no trouble TO keep the
people at respectable distance. Sat
urday morning a detachment of the
Fourteenth United States infantry
was ordered TO the house from Fort
Porter. A picket line was esta blished,
in front of the residence. but the
sentries found no work 10 do. Ropes
were stretched across Delaware ave
