Grant's Sister Arrives from Knrope, FOREIGN PAPER8 ON THE DEATH OF Boston, July 25.—Eight years ago Thomn* Davit, n young married man, let up In Jer any City a horseshoeing business that proipereJ and enabled lilm to accumulate cmmi orablo property. His wife was thr ffcy. and their homo at SB York street was for years a happy one. Three children weir born to them, of whom one is now living Three months ago Davis made the acquaintance of a comely widow named Mary Brown, w!io, with her three children, lived at 62 Gregory street. This acquaintance soon ripened into intimacy, until Davis, neglecting his businoia, devoted much time to entertaining the widow. Mrs. Davis soon learned of her husband's inconstancy, but, being a shrewd woman, mode no core plaint until she had so ordered her husband's business affairs as to provido for her own future. Bhe brought over from Gefmanv her brother, Harford McGuinness, and gave him $500 with which to b. y an interest in the business, which interest he straightway set about daveloping into a controlling one. This BChomo. aided by Davis' negligence, was accomplished a month ago, and then Mrs. Davis spoke. The "winged words" flew with notablo vigor and brought matters to an immediate climax. Davis secretly collected a bill of $350 and eloped with the widow and her children. The fugitives were traced to Boston, and on Tuesday night were found living here as man and wife. They were arraigned Wednesday, Davis being charged with adultery and Mary Brown with fornication. The woman, out of consideration for her children, was allowed' to go on probation, while Davis waived elimination, and was held in $400 for trial in the superior court. YORK AN© CHICAGO.

Hancock has received instructlans from the secretary Qf war to take entire charge of the military arrangements connected with Gen. Grant's funeral. All military organisations wishing to participate in the ceremonies must apply to him for assignment. NE'V YORK STOCK The family will let nothing interfere with their reserve control of the funeral services, both here and in New York. A week ago last Friday, in "a note to the Rev. Dr. Newman, the general mentioned something of this. He broached the subject to Dr. Newman as his spiritual friemL "I dejire the funeral * service of the church performed," he wrote, "whan I am gone." Such will be the nature of the service here. The coffin will be brought to the poroh, near the old place where the general used to sit. Nome but the family and close personal friends or special guests will be admitted to the cottage. The president and members of the cab-, inent, fronds eminent in military and naval service and from civil life may be invited as guests. There will be very few invitations. The pastor will stand on the porch. Before him, on th« slope spreading toward the hotel, will gather those who may come to hear the services. Tie services will- foljow the ritual, closing with an address. It will be a simple and not a long scrvioe. It is probable that at ite cloie I he people wil\_be allowed to cross the porch to look upon the general's face. Within two hours from the time of opening the service the train will start for Saratoga. The services at New York may be less simple, but they will be strictly of a religious nature. The Rev. Dr. Newman, as here, will officiate. He thinks of calling to participation in the services representative preachers of the different sects, omitting none. Later on, What the .interment is over, it may be that Mr. Couiding will be invited to deliver an address. vv [Ab n ported by Judd, Nye A Co., Brokers, Scran ton, PilWInu and W ilkes-Barre, over their private wire, enabling them to execute orders instantly. ] My.

The following message, received by Mr. Turner, Mayor's Grace's chief clerk, settled that the place of burial shall be Central park: THE BANKS TO THE RELIEF. Twenty Millions In Gold to be Advanced The Radical journal*, a* was to be expected, are making great capital out of the rough-and-tumble fight of Sir George Chetwynd and Lord Lonsdale in Hyde park last Wednesday. The Radical E«bo heads its story, "Our Rowdy Aristocrats." The Echo and critics generally put most of tlje b'ame upon Sir George Cbetwynd. He is tfie older man of the two, is the husband of the lady who, as a young widow, was known as the charming marchioness of Hastings, and is the father of a family. If he baa had tender relations with Mrs. Langtry it does not appear to be quite a gentlemanly thing to do to advertise the fact by whipping a little man in the park because the latter resented an insulting remark about the lady. It would be a unique and quite Chetwykdiaa code of chivalry which would decree that because a man has received favors from a lady who is still in society he should have a right to publicly characterise her as a wanton and to horse whip any man who attempted her defense, provided the defender was small enough to makrt it safe. These comments, however, have not caused half the sensation that is lUwly to be produced by an article to be published in Vanity Fair. This Is a high-toned society paper, edited by the Earl of Desart, and owned by a stanch Tory, Mr. Thomas Gibson Bowles, who has already fahd one tilt with the aristocracy in the shape of a fist fight with Lord Marcus Beresford last October, far which his lordship was arrested, but never punished. The article lashes both Sir tteerge Cbetwynd and Lord Lonsdale with stinging adjectives, calling them titled blackguards, declaring that they are worse than navvies and that their conduct Is a disgrace to modern manners, and it laments in 4his instance the abolition of the code duello, which would have put the fighters on equal terms, and would have given hopee for a riddance to the world of one or both of them. wimiT_ Opening.

I do not think I can, but 1 may. Except that I do not gather strength, I feel quite aa well from day to day as I have heretofore. But I am losing strength. I feel it more In the inability to move arouu J than in any other way, or rather in the lack of desire to try to move. The disease mu:t be fatal in the end.

Since then I have added as muoh as' fifty pages to the Look. There is nothing more to do, and therefore I am not likely to be more ready to go than at this moment" The programme at the funeral arrangements Is as follows: The body will lie quietly at the cottage, in the room where the general died, until one week from next Tuesday, *hso it will be placed upon a special tram and oooveyed directly and without demonstration to Albany, reaching there in the «vomug. The body will be borne to the capital building, where it will lie in state until Wednesday noon.

This circular was submitted, and has boen approved by the secxetary. "Its provisions arc not given out officially in Washington, but it is believed that it simply announces the decision of the clearing house committee on the question referred to it at the recent meeting of the fifty banks in New York, as to the farm of certificates which they would accept in return for a loan of .gold. According to the terms of the circular the banks agree to lend (20,000,000 to the treasury, or as much thereof -aa may be required, and it is specified that subsidiary silver coin will bo accepted in exchange for so much gold as may be borrowed. The VeAJettar' certificates recently issued by tho treasury to the amount of some 1890,000 will be redeemed, and no more will be issued. But all future loans of that sort will be upon the basis ol an exchange for minor silver coin. PHALLAS VICTORIOUS AGAIN.

Grant's Sister Arrives from Knrope, FOREIGN PAPER8 ON THE DEATH OF Boston, July 25.—Eight years ago Thomn* Davit, n young married man, let up In Jer any City a horseshoeing business that proipereJ and enabled lilm to accumulate cmmi orablo property. His wife was thr ffcy. and their homo at SB York street was for years a happy one. Three children weir born to them, of whom one is now living Three months ago Davis made the acquaintance of a comely widow named Mary Brown, w!io, with her three children, lived at 62 Gregory street. This acquaintance soon ripened into intimacy, until Davis, neglecting his businoia, devoted much time to entertaining the widow. Mrs. Davis soon learned of her husband's inconstancy, but, being a shrewd woman, mode no core plaint until she had so ordered her husband's business affairs as to provido for her own future. Bhe brought over from Gefmanv her brother, Harford McGuinness, and gave him $500 with which to b. y an interest in the business, which interest he straightway set about daveloping into a controlling one. This BChomo. aided by Davis' negligence, was accomplished a month ago, and then Mrs. Davis spoke. The "winged words" flew with notablo vigor and brought matters to an immediate climax. Davis secretly collected a bill of $350 and eloped with the widow and her children. The fugitives were traced to Boston, and on Tuesday night were found living here as man and wife. They were arraigned Wednesday, Davis being charged with adultery and Mary Brown with fornication. The woman, out of consideration for her children, was allowed' to go on probation, while Davis waived elimination, and was held in $400 for trial in the superior court. YORK AN© CHICAGO.

All military organisations wishing to participate in the ceremonies must apply to him for assignment. NE'V YORK STOCK The family will let nothing interfere with their reserve control of the funeral services, both here and in New York. A week ago last Friday, in "a note to the Rev. Dr. Newman, the general mentioned something of this. He broached the subject to Dr. Newman as his spiritual friemL "I dejire the funeral * service of the church performed," he wrote, "whan I am gone." Such will be the nature of the service here. The coffin will be brought to the poroh, near the old place where the general used to sit. Nome but the family and close personal friends or special guests will be admitted to the cottage. The president and members of the cab-, inent, fronds eminent in military and naval service and from civil life may be invited as guests. There will be very few invitations. The pastor will stand on the porch. Before him, on th« slope spreading toward the hotel, will gather those who may come to hear the services. Tie services will- foljow the ritual, closing with an address. It will be a simple and not a long scrvioe. It is probable that at ite cloie I he people wil\_be allowed to cross the porch to look upon the general's face. Within two hours from the time of opening the service the train will start for Saratoga. The services at New York may be less simple, but they will be strictly of a religious nature. The Rev. Dr. Newman, as here, will officiate. He thinks of calling to participation in the services representative preachers of the different sects, omitting none. Later on, What the .interment is over, it may be that Mr. Couiding will be invited to deliver an address. vv [Ab n ported by Judd, Nye A Co., Brokers, Scran ton, PilWInu and W ilkes-Barre, over their private wire, enabling them to execute orders instantly. ] My.

As received over private wire by Judd, Nye A Co., Brokers, 1st National Bank Building, Peranum, Brown's Building, Pittntou, and 7 South Franklin Street, Wilkes- Jarre, Pa. niture as it stanJs now. The following message, received by Mr. Turner, Mayor's Grace's chief clerk, settled that the place of burial shall be Central park: THE BANKS TO THE RELIEF. Twenty Millions In Gold to be Advanced The Radical journal*, a* was to be expected, are making great capital out of the rough-and-tumble fight of Sir George Chetwynd and Lord Lonsdale in Hyde park last Wednesday. The Radical E«bo heads its story, "Our Rowdy Aristocrats." The Echo and critics generally put most of tlje b'ame upon Sir George Cbetwynd. He is tfie older man of the two, is the husband of the lady who, as a young widow, was known as the charming marchioness of Hastings, and is the father of a family. If he baa had tender relations with Mrs. Langtry it does not appear to be quite a gentlemanly thing to do to advertise the fact by whipping a little man in the park because the latter resented an insulting remark about the lady. It would be a unique and quite Chetwykdiaa code of chivalry which would decree that because a man has received favors from a lady who is still in society he should have a right to publicly characterise her as a wanton and to horse whip any man who attempted her defense, provided the defender was small enough to makrt it safe. These comments, however, have not caused half the sensation that is lUwly to be produced by an article to be published in Vanity Fair. This Is a high-toned society paper, edited by the Earl of Desart, and owned by a stanch Tory, Mr. Thomas Gibson Bowles, who has already fahd one tilt with the aristocracy in the shape of a fist fight with Lord Marcus Beresford last October, far which his lordship was arrested, but never punished. The article lashes both Sir tteerge Cbetwynd and Lord Lonsdale with stinging adjectives, calling them titled blackguards, declaring that they are worse than navvies and that their conduct Is a disgrace to modern manners, and it laments in 4his instance the abolition of the code duello, which would have put the fighters on equal terms, and would have given hopee for a riddance to the world of one or both of them. wimiT_ Opening.

Among other things he said that about a weak ago, when be note* a somewhat 1ms oubtinate condition of the throat, perhaps due to the increasod Inroads Of the disease, the general wrote upon a piece of paper the following message to the doctor: "1 feel sorry at the prospect of living through the summer and fall in the condition that 1 am in. I do not think I can, but 1 may. Except that I do not gather strength, I feel quite aa well from day to day as I have heretofore. But I am losing strength. I feel it more In the inability to move arouu J than in any other way, or rather in the lack of desire to try to move. The disease mu:t be fatal in the end.

Since then I have added as muoh as' fifty pages to the Look.
