Weeping Over the Kmpty Casket. Rocbxbtzb, July 87.—The Stein Manufacturing company, makers of the casket tor Gex Grant's remains, after being urged decided to allow the casket to be exhibited at their warorooms for a few hours before tt was shipped to Saratoga. As soesi as the fact of its being C* exhibition became known an immense throng of peopk gathered to see it. An estimate of those who wore thus curious pub the number at 86,000. The arrangements were such that these observers passed in a continuous line through a spacious room, presenting much the appearance of a funeral procession. That appearance was strengthened by the many affl;oting scenes witness*!. Many old soldier) could not restrain their grief, and not a f3w of them broke down completely when rC minded by the casket that their old is 110 more. Ladies tod children who were apparently prompted to visit the place by mere curiosit/ s emed completely overcome by the soleqinity of the ocoasioa, aad many wept, allow iiig their lamentations to become audibly until the whole scene hal the appearance of obsequies attended by personal friendj and relatives by special Invitation.

Chicago, July 27.—-A very s»nsatfooa' •booting affray took plan on State street, near Polk street, between Policeman Pet©/ Soergel, of the armory, aad Charles M. Eberte, of Topeka, .Kan. The dust waf abort, sharp and furious, aad great excitemt»t pre railed on the crowded streot Fourteen shots were Bred in less than two minutes, and the quick reports of the revolvers sounder like the simultaneous explosion of a bun oh ol firecrackers. Clouds at smoke roae around the two men, and enveloped them from view. The demoniacal fury which Eberts showed was entirely without provocation. He shot the officer three times and was himself wounded, bat neither man is fatally hurt. Soergel had a wonderful escape. According to Ms account of ths affray he hod gone from around the corner of Hubbard court and was walking along the east side of the street, when ha was Struck by the first bullet For an instant he was stunned, but looking up he saw Rberta stand ng about fifty feet In front of him preparing to Area second shot On both sides of the street the doorways war*packed with people, but before any one could realise what had taken place Eberts had fired again. He raised bis weapon and got ready to shoot, shading his ayes with his left hand in order to insure a better aim, aud handling his heavy pistol with the ease of a sharpshooter. But Soergel had by this time prepared himself for the struggle. The first bullet struck bim in the right hip and the teoond pierced the left shoulder. Quickly drawing hit revolver he jumped from the sidewalk into the street and returned the fire. Elerts meanwhile was advancing, firing as deliberately and coolly as if in a shooting gallery. Soergel's eyes were blinded by the sun, - but he faced the rain of bullets unflinchingly, and sprang towards his antagonist, firing as he advanced. At this point Eberts stopped, and standing voolly just In front of the policeman kapt up a continuous Are at his toe. Ebort's fourth ballet struck the policeman's arm, bat be kept on advancing, resting his revolver on his wounded arm and firing with what precision he could. At this moment Soergel wounded the westerner, who at one# started to run. A shout from a window caused him to torn, and seeing Soergel directly behind him, he snapped his revolver In the policeman's face, bat the pistol was empty. . tie then turned again and fled. At this a number at young mea rushed out of a saloon and pursued him to the corner of Polk street, whan he drew a second revolver. Before be could use it a man's arms win thrown around his shoulder.*, and after a fierce struggle Eberts was overpowered, lis was then borne to the armory amid a storja of shouts and hisses. Soergel was carrWH to his home apd examined by a physician. The ball, which lodged in his arm, was found to be deeply imbedded, and the operation of moving it was extremely painful, it being necessary to cut several of the tendons to get at it His other wounds are not serious. Soergel has boeu a member of the department for several years, and is regarded as one of the bravest men of the foroa. Of Eberts very little is known. He is undoubtedly insane. I«st Thursday night he was locked up in the armory for flourishing a revolver on fctate street When arrested two huge Colt's revolvers and $l,06t In greenbacks were fouud in his possession.. On being interviewed be gave many indiattions of insanity, and laughed to hlmsttf incessantly. Nothing about the cause of the sbcoting coull bo gathered from liim. "I won't talk till I get in court; then I MB talk," he said. His wound is painful, hoi not serious.

London, July 27.—The lnoer*l»ry flrsa which have become common in iluss'.t appear to have a deeper significance than the usual acts of individual criminals. Poor of theee fire* occurred In Moscow during yestarday afiki last night They were all started with careful reference to tb#dlr«cticm of the wind and in such places that the wind would inevitably carry the flams over a large area. The build'ngs selected for destruction ware mostly ttarehouaos filled with costly dry goods an 1 furs. The fires were verf Ineffectively fought by the Moscow flip department, which is terribly .primitive in its methods and apparatus. The direct loss by the fires was enormous, and the additional damage by smoke and water amounts to millions of roubles. These fires, like most of those that have rewntly startled Russia, wore undoubtedly of incendiary origin. As a rule they began in unoccupied warehouses or in business places where all lights and fire if bad been extinguished for hours. But few arrests have bew made and the most careful investigation has failed to find the evidences usually left beMnd by incendiaries. The officials are firmly convinced that this wholesale arson is a new terrorizing movement by the Nihilists, and thaN they have invented some new combustible, or some combination of chemicals, which will spread fire quickly and leave no trace. The police say that the Nihilists have adopted this new plan because It is attended with less danger to the culprits, if oaught, than their old plan of murdar, and is equally effective in spreading terror among the people. There is no doubt tbe .latter object has been so cured, for the householders •f Moscow an now in nightly terror. Many families appoint one member to watch all night, and to give the alefm to the rest on the approach of a conflagration. Almost every one provides \ bucket of water, or some other appliance for extinguishing an incipient fire, before going to bed. The police are baffl.-d thus far, but they claim to have confessions from some of the arrested culprits, which will enable them to trace and crush tbe conspirators. M*. McQbkoob, July 27.—The mountain has been cool and quiet. There have been some visitor* and a few permanent arrivals. Among them were Gen. Horace Porter and the Japans ie Minister Kuki. The guard of honor from XT. 8. Grant post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, has arrived and began their duties nt once. Two of them attend constantly inside of the cottage. These two are on fluty three hours. The Whetfer port, who came to the cottage first, will remain and patrol the cottage on every side Grand Army veterans lepieteattng Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Wisconsin and New Mexico are also oamped oo the mountain. Gen. Hancook has ordered a company ef infantry from Fort Porter, near Buffalo, to come to the mountain to take act as part of the guard of honor. TT. S. Grant. Mt. McGregor, N. Y., July 2, 1886. I had a long talk with Dr. Douglas, who Kim bo long watched over Gen. Grant. His attention was specially called to the remarkab'e feature of Grant's case wherein he was able, while wasting with disease, to perform literary wdfrk. The amount of work actually done by him was beyond what a man in the enjoyment of full physical health might have been able to do. Dr. Douglas said this was the most remarkable feature of his case. He never had a patient at all like him. The lower he became physically the greater appeared to be hi# capacity for doing work on his book. Something of the amount of this work can be estimated by the fact that all of the work upon the second volume and most of the revision of the first was done after Ids noted sinking spell In April last. He wrote at Mt McGregor the concluding chapter of his book, which is all of fifty pages, about 12,000 words in manuscript. This chapter is so long that it win be divided into two parts. Dr. Douglas, in explaining bow this wqrk was done, said: Memorial Servtee a* Westminster. CoL Grant ajtd Gen. Horace Porter left last night by special train for New York. They arriVed there at 7 4. m., and will confer with Mayor Grace and. Gen. Hancock concerning th« details of the final rites. Gen.

Geo, TO , I the Charged with Extensive Frauds an a C I PKTROLBUM. ... n2h^!!Y: £& Railroad Company. St. Louis, July 27.—The doath of Gen. Grant has rsv.ved anecdotes of hi* experience in St. Louia thirty-fivo yea™ ago. Scores of the "ol ieet inhabitants" were personally acquainted with him, and several are new hera who helped Grant to build the log house which he called ''Hard Scrabble11 on aocount of the trouble which lie experienced in providing for hi? family. To Ul«»- trate one trait in ihj character of the man the following story of him is told: Living near Hard Scrabble w&i a widow with three children. One day, after disposing of a load of wood in the city, Or nt learned that the widow's cabiu had burned down. He sold the wood for (5, and, thoujh badly in need of the money himself, started a subscription with the .$5, and going among his friends he soon had a fund of $100 collected, which he turned over to the widow. Grant's Many Sided Character. Lovibviix*, July 87.— The arrest of Frederick H. Field, one of the beet known railroad ticket agents in the south, has caused a sensation here. The charge against Field if forgery, and It was preferred by C. P. At more, general ticket and passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Field recently left a lucrative railroad position to establish an extensive scalper's office in Louisville, with agencies all along the lint of the Louisville and Nashville road. The line issues through tickets 'Iron Louis villi to When a person ascs for a ticket to a certain point it is written in the blank ■pace. The ticket* to some small way stations are also made up in the same way. Qap in the Knobs, a point, sixteen miles below here, is one of these places. It it charged that Field purchased, or caused to tie purchased, tickets to the latter point, and •rasing the written name of the place of destination, inserted "Montgomery, Ala." The difference In the prioe la very great. Theet tickets, It Is said, were sold to all pdlnfe down the road where field had no agency. For instance, if a person applied to the of flee for a ticket to Nashville he would bD given a ticket to Montgomery and require J to pay the cut rate to that point, but would be given a rebate at his plaoe of destination upon the surrender of the ticket It would then be utilized by the agent at that plact to points farther down the rqad. The erasures were effected by means of chemicals. iraess "I never patronize Patent' Medicines Don't you 7 Why not f You patronise "patent" articles ef a hundred varieties—why not patent medicines?
