Mayor William r. Graee's Story Of
the Way In Which New York
City Was Sc
lected.

For number of years after the de-
cision was reached that the perma
nent burial place of Gen. u. S. Grant
and Mrs. Grant should be Riverside
Drive, New York city, subscriptions to
the projected monument to be erected
over the sarcophagi Jagged. Then
Gen. Horace Porter organized a com
mittee which speedily secured the
fund needed. 1t was about the time of
the dedication of the monument that
William r. Grace, twice mayor of New
York city, narrated to me this hitherto
unpublished story of the manner in
which New York was selected as the
burial place of the great commander.
Il was serving my second term as
mayor of New York said Mr.. Grace.
at the time General Grant was smit-
ten with his mortal illness ! kept my
self constantly informed as to his con-
dition. AT one time. | remember, word
was brought to me that the chances
were strongly in favor of his recovery.
But within twenty-four hours there
after received authoritative infor-
nation that the disease was mortal
and that, in all probability General
Grant could not last the summer out.
Now, / knew from many chats |
had had with Grant after he became a
resident of New York that he was
very fond of the city. Its activities
appealed to him greatly aud as he
walked about the streets he was fond
of carefully looking at the improve
ments being made and pronounced
Judgment as to the future course of
business In this, that or the other
street. lie was, in fact, one of the
first to suggest that Fifth avenue and
Thirty-fourth street would be an ideal
location for a big hotel Today one
of the worlds most famous hotels is
located there.
Il also knew, when ] learned def
initely that Grant was in his last i'll
ness. that efforts would undoubtedly
be made to persuade his family that
his burial place should be either in
the national cemetery at Arlington, or
at West Point, Galeha or Chicago But
! said to myself that Grants burial
place should be New York, the city
which he had selected as the one in
which to spend his closing years and
which. / knew beyond peradventure of
doubt, he loved. | made up my mind
that would do all that could to have
New York named as his burial place.
Therefore, while Grant yet lived,
organized privately and quietly a com
petent body OF men to work in behalf

and meets and chats with his friends;
it is something like recess for him.
| was thus chatting with a group of
friends In the rear of the house when
of sudden ] seemed to realize in
tuitively that change had taken
place in the atmosphere of the house
and a desperate situation had arisen.
| glanced down towards the speakers
desk, and though no one had yet ia
ken a belligerent attitude, | felt that
there was grave danger OF a personal
encounter between two members.
How | reached the speakers desk

lection of pushing Mr.. Covert to one
side and seizing the gavel But | do
recall most wildly that as | began to
pound with all my might with the
gavel. boheld directly before me the
most portentous scene that ever saw
in the house. In front of the clerks
desk stood Mr. Sparks, representing
Missouri district, with an uplifted
chair as a weapon, and directly across
the aisle from him, and awaiting the
attack in spirit of defiance, was
General James b. Weaver, the Green.
back party's presidential candidate of
the year before. And it seemed to me
that had never seen such malignant
passion upon mems faces. II was the
very spirit that leads to murder-and
nj once the awful thought shot into
my mind: The eternal disgrace of a
murder taking place ON the floor of
the house OF representatives.
1t was thought situation
that made me desperate, | pounded

/ God. there was momentary hesita.

members TO recover their startled

AS soon as | saw others rush be

WESTON MEETS OLD FRIEND

Veteran Pedestrian 80 Far Ahead of His Schedule That He is
 Expected to Reach City Hall in New York on May }.

gait, some days going more and other days less: The fact that more than I Of the Santa F'e Railroad, where the walker received the greatest atten- ton from the railroad officials and station agents which freed him from all the worries about roads and places to eat and sleep, also partly explains why he is far ahead of his scheduled time.
 And another reason is that he has been more fortunate in the matter of weather than on any of his previous walks. He encountered only two days of his Journey. It rained at Santa Monica on Feb. 1, the day he other rainstorm until he reached the outskirts of Chicago on April 8.
 Even to the slightest detail Weston was exempt from all the arrange ments of his trip along the Santa Fe The train dispatchers had a standing order to give him the right of way yards in the different cities, and the tra1nmasters sent orders to all the conductors and engineers to keep a sharp lookout for the pedestrian and his motor car and to sound the whiS- tie at all obscure places on the tracks so that there would be no danger of coming across the walker unawares. The stat'on agents were always ready to put h1Tn up for the night and fur nish him with the best of food. These srrangements saved Weston a great
 
 big factor in aiding him in making the fast time over the route. During his daily tramps Weston carried green railroad signal flag and at night carried a bu11's-eye railroad lantern. He left the Santa F'e route at Chicago and then struck the dirt roads to New York. It is likely that he will strike plenty of rainy weather and muddy going during the present month.
 The old mar has shown wonderful vitality and has been able to keep along on an average of only six hours sleep a day. Of course he takes oc- casiona1 rests and does not hurry when he eats his meals. His feet are holding out wonderfully well and he has not been troubled with blisters as on many of his walks during the past few years. He is sturdy and strong, but at times gets very peevish, and his attendants have hard task in getting along with him.
 His route to New York is through Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, com ing into New York State at Westfield He will go through Buffalo, Roches- ter, Syracuse, Utica, Little Falls, Schenectady, Troy, and continuing along down the Hudson through Poughkeepsie, Peekskil1, Tarrytown, and Yonkers to this city

Goshen, Ind, April 8.-Edward Payson Weston and Jack E1dridge, both of whom are walking from coast to coast, met yesterday on the road twelve miles east of Goshen. They shook hands and then went to an l orchard near by, where they sat down on q stump and talked about good roads and their expectations as to making their. trips on time. Wes- ton is now twelve days ahead in his distance covered, while Eldridge is two and one-half days ahead.
 After their little rest Eldridge and they then parted. Weston spent the night at Kendallville, Ind, and Eldridge hoped to pass the night with friends at La Porte, Ind.
 It is Weston's opinion that if the weather remains good, and he has no setback, he will reach New York says it may take him one or two days longer. It was noted when the two men walked together that EIdridge takes long, slow step, about twice as long as Weston's short quick step, but that Weston moves his body so that there is not the least loss of gently left Boston to walk to San Francisco, distance of approximate ly 4,00O miles.
 New York, April s-If Edward Payson Weston keeps up with his schedule from Chicago to this city he VIII tramp up 10 the City Hall Monday, May 2, fourteen days ahead Of the time he had planned to reach here. Weston, before he started from Santa Monica on Feb. 1 to walk across the continent, figured on 3,480-nile trip, and said he would do it in ninety days, Sundays excepted. He calculated on reaching here on May IT. and made arrangements to take a lady to the theatre in this city on that evening. On that part of the trip between Los Angeles and Chicago, following the route of the Santa Fe Railroad, Weston disregard ed his walking schedule and reached Chicago twelve days ahead of the time he had allotted to himself to make the trip.
 This remarkable performance is partly explained by the fact that Wes- toms schedule has many inaccuracies in regard to the distances he covered in walking along the route of the Santa Fe. His schedule shows the trip from Los Angeles to Chicago along the railroad tracks as being 2,429 miles, while the Santa Fre time ts bles show the same distance to be 2,265 miles, a difference of 164 miles, W hich explains at least four of the dstys which he has presumably made in advance of his walking time. He is going at about a forty-1nfle day
