The effort to make the ascent had exhausted him. Constables Minnick and Fryer each took bold of a side of the chair and carried the invalid up the rest of the way to the house. The moment they set down their burden the general sprang from his seat and walked firmly up the flirhf of ten steps, with the sole assistance of hij cane. He sat down gasping on the veranda, and, after half an hoar, went inside. Harrison changed the general's costume, and after awhile the general reappeared on the veranda, wearing a Bilk hat and black coat. There he sat for hours, surrounded by hia fami.y, drinking in the fresh, clear mountain air. Towards evening a brisk shower came up, but the general braved it and stayed out till the wood mosquitoes drove him indoors. RANDOLPH CHUKCHILL. WHY HE NO LONGER UMPIRE8.

Baltimore, June 17.—Umpire John Valjntine has arrived bare.

He has reoedved a number of letters tsking him to continue umpiring, but under no considerations would be again appear on the field in that capacity. Valentine complains of the conduct of some of the managers of clubs who seek to Influence umpires I efore the game, and who, if he does not act in accordance with their unfair suggestions, beoome bitter enemieB of the offending umpire. He states that it is this more than anything else that led him to resign. "I have been repeatedly approached in such a distasteful way," he continued, that I don't care to be an umpire and lawyer. I have even had them urge me to decide all doubts in their favor. I have declined to yield to such suggestions, and these managers have made things just as unpleasant as possible ever since. When pitching from aboVe the shoulder was prohibited by the rules, I was umpiring in a western city.

Mount McGregor, N. Y„ June 17.—The |«n roe* upon » busy scene at Gen. Grant's London, June 17.—The obstacles in the way of forming a Conservative cabinet are disappearing. Lord Salisbury has been engaged all day negotiating with the othir leaders of the party, and has given and received concessions which will doubtless heal the party strife for a time, at least, and enable it to present a solid front in public. The maDt important conference of the day was between the coming premier and Lord Randolph Churchill. The latter, after ostentatiously .absenting himself from Monday's meeting and openly reballing in the bouse, sought an interview with Lord Salisbury and effected an agreement which is said to be mutually satisfactory and likely to last. It would bo a mistake, however, to suppose that Lord Randolph went to his party chief in any panitent mood, or that he gave more than he got in the way of concessions. The young leader has strong support in the provinces, and he fully held his own in the negotiations by convincing Lord Salisbury of bis strength. He parried the charge of rebellion against -Sir Stafford Northcote's leadership in the matter of Monday night's division, by declaring that Sir Stafford wa; incompetent for his position as Conservative leader of the bouse by reason of his lackwii backbone, which has long been chronic, and is now made acute by illness. Lord Randolph made it a point of his co-operation with Lord Salisbury that Sir Stafford Northcote should be courteously removed from the leadership of the commons by transferring him to the house of lords, and this stipulation was agreed to by Lord Salisbury. In othor important details the friends of Lord Randolph declare that he made his owa conditions, and that he will take the office of secretary of state for India in the new Niw York, June 17.—Tin  correspondent of The Sun says: The board which examined the Dolphin for Secretary Whitney has handed him its report. Capt. Belknap, Commander Evans and Mr. Herman Winters do not desire another trial trip to satisfy them that the ship is bad. No', one of them believes her to be seaworthy. Even on her first trial trip, in the smooth waters of -Long Island sound, she demonstrated her structural weakness. The report will be unpleasant reading both for Mr. John Roach and the members of the advisory board, for the responsibility for the failure of this "pioneer vessel of our new navy," is a divided one. The plans were few, and they were executed in an unworkmanlike way. The advisory board designed a ship for speed, and as s yacht she only looks fast. Now that her log is finally reckoned, it turns out that she did not make tbe required fifteen knots even in the alleged successful third trial trip on the sound, while, in ord er to meet the fifteenknot sea-speed required by the law, she should have run seventeen or eighteen knots in smooth water.

He said he was an old soldier of his and would stay on duty until the general left the mountains. In the evening Dr. Douglas said: "Gen. Grant has stood the journey much better than I expactod. He is not so much fatigued as I thought he would be. I think bis sojourn here. will be of temporary benefit to him, although a permanent improvement cannot be hoped for. Tue length of his stay here will be determines in a few days by the effect it has upon his condition. I shall remain for some time." Is Consumption Curable ! An annual death rate of nearijone hundred thousand by Consumption «in the United States gives, so far as the medical profession is concerned, a most emphatic and disheartening negative to this question. But under the new Vitalizing treatment by Compound Oxygen, quite as emphatic an affirmative can 1m declared. This treatment has inaugurated a new era in the healiug art We are spetkinaf within the limits of faots when we' say that during the past thirteen years in thousands Ct cases the progress of Consumption has been arrested by its use, and hundreds of liros ssved. la many instances were it seemed that the patient could net survive for vera than a few days or a few weeks, the vital forces have rallied, and there has been a slo'f but sure return to better health.

New Yobk, June 17.—The spring regatta of the Harlem Yacht club took place, favored by a clear sky and southwest breeze.

The following are the winners in theii respective classes: speech which fell upon him last Sunday morning still remained, and when he expressed a wish Henry, the white nurse, had to bend low to catch the husky whisper. All the neighbors seemed to know that the general was going away end nearly every window on tlie block was occupied by sympathetic watch;rs, waiting to witness the departure of him whom they might never see again. At a little offer 8 o'clock two hired carriages took fiway Jesse Grant, his wife and child, Mrs. Frel Grant and her two children, nurse and maid. A few minutes later the Grant family carriage, drivon by their colored coachman, drew up before the doop- Harrison ran down the steps and put a big valise on the box and then hurried back tc meet Gen. Grant, who stood on the threshold. The general gazed up and down the street, and bis glance lingered awhile on thj waving foliage of Central park; then leaning only on the cane which his right hand firmly grasped, he slowly walked alone down the steps. Any one who had soon only the pictures of the warrior would not recognize in the bent and feeble old man the horo of Appomattox. His black Prince Albert coat hung loosely from his stooped shoulders and a well-worn On the arrival here Dr. Douglas was anxious to examine and cleanse the general's throat He found that considerable irritation had been caused by the black dust which had lodged in the throat during the Journey, but said that the surface underneath, though inflamed, appeared better than he had expected. The swelling outside hail stea Jily increased after passing Hudson, and during the last hour of the trip it rapidly filled forward on the neck and below the collar. 1 he general's voice, which was better at starting than on Monday, had utterly failed him, and any effort to speak resulted only in faint aud almost inaudible aspirations. Tho doctor thought this aphonia due to the fatigue, which was greater during the last hour of the trip than at any other time.

"I have became impressed with the idea that if this kind of work was expected of ma my resignation would be the proper thing." _____ The design of the ship considered as a dispatch boat is absurd. She cannot make speed, and she cannot defend herself. The only use for a gun on such a ship is for a fore and aft fire, and yet her six inch gun can shoot in neither of these directions. She cannot fire at a vessel which she may be pursuing, nor at one from which she may be flying. In order to do either she would be obliged to send her ball through the small hamlet of houses that has been built on her deck. One of those houses is called "Social Hall," and this insufficiently indicates the use to which it was intended to put the Dolphin.

He said that he was utterly weary of the continual warfare in volved in his position in the commons and woul I prefer the comparative quiet of the house of lords, but that he would not take any post in the new government which involved arduous duties. The report shows how faulty the ocmatruotion is by pointing out that there are no band braces in the vessel, and no support whatever for her engines. On the first trial trip of the sories instituted by Mr. Whitney, as the report points out, ballast in her bow caused the pinching and heating of her forward crank-pin, and on the next trial ten tons additional in her stern caused a like disaster to her after crank-pin. In other words, the vessel is so badly constructed that a slight addition to her load, or a slight shifting of it, throws her machinery out of line. The absenoe of proper braces, due to faulty designing, causes her to vibrate and her machinery deck to shake in such a way as to raise grave doubts as to her safety as a sea-going vessel. Chioaqo, June 17.—About 1,6D0 persons gathered at the Driving park to witness the first day's racing of the spring meeting. Weather cool. Boston, June 17.—Mrs. May E. Whitney, wife of Ktillman 8. Whitney, a physician of Alls ton, was sentenced to eight months in the house of industry on two charges of assault and battery on Mrs. Sarah Whitney, her husband's mother, and fifteen days' additional imprisonment for malicious mischief. The judge stated that it was the most peculiar case that over came before him. Mrs. Whitney, tlie elder, is a widirw of 00, whose husband was for years a physician in Dedham. Lately she has lived with her son, who, lost fall, married Mrs. May Darrow, a widow with two children, and brought them home to reside. It is alleged tluft Mrs. Whitney, the younger, had not been an inmate of the house three days before she assaulted her mother-in-law with a tumbler, and as matters kept growing worse, the old lady was obliged to bring the matter before the court.

A group of watchers on the street respectfully liftod their hate, and workmen in the unfinished building on the corner of Fifth avenue did the same. But no change came over the pale, pinched features of the invalid. Tottering across the sidewalk, moved by his iron will alone, he quickly made his way to the carriage. Dr. Douglas opened the door and gently aided hjn to enter. Then he assisted Mrs. Grant to get in and closed the door. Harrison leaped upon the box and the coachman was about to start tho horses, when two gray-haired neighbors came to the carriage window and washed the general a pleasant journey.

Many other Conservatives were astir beside Lord Randolph Churchill, and there was a continuous succession of visits to Lord Salisbury's residence. CoL Edward Robert King-Harman, the Conservative member for Dublin county, had a long interview in which he gave the views of the Ulster members on the coercion question. The marquis of Water ford, another leading Conservative, bad a long talk with Lord Salisbury and Sir Stafford Northcote. Both these representatives of Irish /Toryism insisted strongly on the necessity for coercion. Lord Randolph Churchill, on the oootrary, has not abated a jot of his demand for the abolition of the crimes act. Lord Salisbury is reported by the friends of both sides as having promised compliance with their views and great curiosity exists as to whether he will be able to carry water on both shoulders.

She has not once come up to the terms of the contract The report also points out that the contract violates the law, which requires fifteen knots sea sea speed, and it is the opinion of the board that the government is not Lound to accept the vessel, even if theVontract is complied with, on the ground that the government cannot be bound by the illegal acts of its subordinates. The report is a sad story of an inefficient advisory board and of a canning shipbuilder who was a week too late in asking for the acceptance of his vessel.

Sullivan Bros, ore the manufacturers of the Spear Head tobacoo, and they advertise extensively that on the first day of June they will distribute $80,000 in prises to parties having the largest number of spear heads. The rival manufacturers say that ths scheme partakes of a lottery, and that money orders and registered letters should be withheld from them at once. The postmaster general is now considering the matter. Should he decide against Sullivan Bros, it would seem that they will save the amount of their prizes, and thus defraud their patrons to that extent, and should he decide in their favor the alleged lottery scheme, from the notoriety it has and will have attained, will work to their pecuniary benefit, so that whichever way the matter is decided it would seem that Sullivan Bros, are to be benefited. The old lady testified that she had been repeatedly assaulted by her daugiiter-in-law, at one time by her throwing a glass tumbler at her and cutting a gash on her forehead, and at another time by her pulling her hair so hard theft same of it came out by the roots. She was in constant fear of her life, as her daughter-in-law had made threats against her life several times. Last Friday evening her daughter-in-law smashed several articles of a toilet set, and some flower pots and vasej. Other evidence was introduced to show that the younger Mrs. Whitney's action disturbed the neighborhood, and that on Friday night her screams and outcries could be heaul a mile.

It held eleven public hearings and a number of executive sessions, and examined twentyfour witnesses, including all the members of the state house commission. The committee reports that the methods by whioh the appropriations for state house repairs have been made and expended have not been such as to insure a caret uljand economical* xpenditure of the common wealth's money; that sufficient care and diligence has not been exercised iu making contracts and supervising work. Consequently expenditures have been larger than wer j necessary or warranted. The committee recommends that future reports, estimates, etc., be made in as detailed form as possible; that appropriations he made conformable thereto, and that the state house commission be required to submit itemized statements yearly.

Port Jervis, N. Y., June 17.—Thomas MaD', who lived three miles from Hawley, Pa., made up his mind two or three weeks ago that he would add to his income by tue surreptitious sale of beer. On Saturday he sold out his stock, and walked to Hawley to obtain some more. About 7 o'clock in the evening he started home, carrying a keg of beer on his shoulder. When near his house he was met by two men who seized him, threw him Into a deep gully at the side of the road, and carried off the beer. Near midnight May's wi e became alartat i at his long absence. She stepped out on the front porch. A beer keg stood on tfie porch. It was empty. " This increased her alarm, and she summoned a neighbor. A search was made for the missing man. He was found in the gully, unconscious. His back was broken. He has been unable to move or speak since, and his recovery is Impossible. It is not known who his assailants were. More Earthquakes In Cashmere. Sad for Veteran Soldiers. At 1:55 o'clock the train arrived in Sara.toga. One hundred uniformed veterans of GAR Post Wheeler stood in line in the depot yard and applauded when they caught sight of their old commander standing in the doorway of the car. He responded with a military Balute, and the crowd of 200 people who had assembled about the depot cheered him again and again. The Mount McGregor special car stood close by oil' its uarrow-guage track. Side by side the two trains moved along for a quarter of a mile, with the O. A R. veterans marching behind. Opposite I ho T,«eaman works the two tracks run within eight feet of each other, and there the trains halted. Before any one could help him Gen. Giant stepped off bis train, crossed the space to the McGregor car aud laid hold of the hand rails; Col. Fred followed closely with outstretched arms, but the invalid climbed up alone. The crowd cheered again and again when they saw this, and the general disappeared inside. His wife, Dr. Douglas and the others followed. Col. Fred and his helpers found it hard work to get the invalid chairs through the door into the little car, and the general h mself came to the entrance and stoon directing their movements. ThenEnginear Todd started up tho locomotive "J. W. Diexel" and the little special moved forward. Th.a ride of fourteen miles to the summit was perhaps the most fatiguing part of Gen. Grant's journey. As the diminutive engine wheezed along the uneven rails up the steep grade she belched out clouds of stilling smoke which tilled the car and gave the general much annoyance. Curve followoi curve in quick succession and the car pitched from side to side, like a boat in a stormy sea. Gen. Grant lay wearily back Vith closed eyes, except when an extra sharp jolt aroused him. Simla, June 16.—Shocks of earthquake continue with increased violence in the vale of Cashmere. The town of Muguffurabad, commanding the entrance of the Baramula pass into Cashmere, is reported to have been almost entirely destroyed, and 2,300 persons are said to have been killed. Pittsburg, June 17.—As one of the resuits from a streak of economy that permeated the recent legislature in reducing the appropriation for the West Pennsylvania hospital of this city—from $110,000 asked for to $46,000—and the institution being already over $40,000 in debt, some sixty-five old soldiers, who for years have made their home at the hospital, hare been notified that they must seek other quarters. In notifying his old comrades of the necessity for this action Gen. Bweitier was visibly affected. Civil Sarvloe Kulee Amendment.
