A Xew York corre*pondcnt to day railed
tijton Clarence Seward, counael for General
Grant, who had obtained eopiea of tho correa-
)wndenee between Jamea P. Fi.h and General
Grant, to which reference line been
made. It waa learned that prior
to July let, 1KH2, Fiah had
aent the paper of Grant A Ward to the Lincoln
bank with a note baking that the pa|ier lie dia-
rounted. Freaident Jamea being railed upon
by Seward, aaid that he anawered the note of
Fish ah follows:
???Lincoln National Bank, New York, July
1, 1882.???My Dear Mr. President: I will sub
mit your favor to the board of directors
ou Wednesday next. Will you kindly tell mo
whether you arc a general partner in tho
house of Messrs. Grnit A Ward?
Very truly, T. L. Jamm???
James P. Fish, Esq.
James further said that Kish promptly an*
awered the above note, but that ho was unable
to find the answer, lie, however, stated thut
K was substantially in these words:
tween April 14th and May r.th Inclusive, Jas. D.
Fish, ns president, caused to be i??ld out of tnony
belonging t?? a national banking association, to
or uiMrti the written onler of Grant & Word. And
for the benefit of himself and said Ferdinand
Ward, further sums in excess of all credit* to said
firm, amounting to 1760,WJ, at time of said over-
drafts he (Janies 1). Fish) well knowing that the
linn of Grant & Ward was then unable to repay the
sums so overdrawn, and the firm being then in*
debted to said tank in an amount exceeding*!.???
(BUJMi, tho total indebtedness thus augmented be
ing six times the capital stock of said bank associa
tion.
A QUESTION BETWEEN GRANT AND EISU.
Reporters have been unable t/f get any au
thorized statement from General Grant or his
counsel, Clarence Seward, to whom he defers
in the matter regarding the allegations made
hy President Fish, of the Marine hank, that
he had letter* from General Grant* assuring
him that the government contracts of Grant A
Ward were genuine. Interviews with friends
of Gearnl Grant indicate very clearly, however,
that they are convinced he will show in a day
or two that Fish???s statements ore entirely false,
or that they so misrepresent and distort the

Tlie Wonderful Travel* ot n Young Lady
lVlto Got Lost In Georgia.
From the Savannah, Ga., News.
Among the passengers ou the steamship City
of Augusta, now on her way to New York, is a
young Indy whose singular adventure in trav
eling from Jacksonville to Savannah last week
won for her the title of the lost woflian. On
Wednesday night Miss Martha Howes, Accom
panied by her sister, left Jacksonville, occupy
ing a section in the Savanuah sleeper. They
were destined for Boston/ and exproted to sail
hy the steamer Gate City on Thursday after
noon.
Some time after leaving Jacksonville Miss
Howe* a;*ked a porter to escort her to thc Cin
cinnati sleeper, in which were several friends
destined to Cincinnati by the way of Savan
nah, as they supposed. Leaving her hand-
baggage, bonnet, purse and tickets with her
sister, she stepped into the ear where her
friend* were and sat down. After a pleasant
chat she called the porter, this time of the car
in which she was riding, and usked him to lead
her back to the Savannah sleeper. "The
Savannah sleeper, ma???am? Why, there???s no
Savannah ear ou this train!" A look of sur
prise came over the young lady
a* she realized her situation, nnd
her friends were equally as sur
prised, ns they supposed they were bound for
Savannah also. The porter explained that
the Savannah sleeper had been left nt Way-
cross to be taken hy the night train, and that
they were being whirled on towards Albany.
What to do the young lady did not know. The
train was then some distance beyond Way cross,
and too far to ride back by carriage in tho
night. 8he was without money or tickets, and
knowing that her sister was unaware of her
whereabouts, and would be concerned for her
safety, she explained the circumstances to tho
conductor, and at tho first stop a telegram waa
sent back to Wayeress saying that she would
return there by the first train. The Jelc-
grnin wos not received hy her sister, who enmo
on to Savannah and related tho circumstance*
far as she knew them to .Messrs Barnard A
Richardson, agent* of the Boston line of steam
ers. Mr. Barnard at once became interested,
nnd set out to find the young lady. A tele
gram was sent in her name to Wnycross, and
to insure its delivery another was sent to the
onerator stating tho circumstances, nnd asking
that the message he placed iu Miss IIowo???s
hands a* quickly as possible. An hour later
a reply was received thnt there was no
such person iu town. This aroused Mr.
Barnard???* interest still further, nud
he determined to find the young
Indy without fail. Being wholly unaware
f her movements after she left her sister bc-
ow Wnycross, he surmised thnt she had been
carried past on the Cincinnati sleeper and
would reach Savannah by the way of Macon
nnd the Central railroad. The ship hy which
she expected to sail was to leave at 4 o???clock,
and iu tho hope of her arrival by tho 3:25 from
Macon, Mr. Barnard made preparations to
meet her upon her arrival nt the Central depot
with a carriage, so that sho might reach tho
ship without delay. Ho told the story to
Major Whitehead, of the Central, who, with a
significant shake of the head, looked nt Mr.
Barnard as if to see whether he was in
earnest.
She???s skipped! There???s a young man in
thc ease," replied the major.
Mr. Barnard assured him thnt this could not
he, ami a telegram was sent to the conductor of
the Macon train at Millen to find out if Mias
Howe was on board. The reply came back,
"Not on train."
Baffled in this move, Agent Knapp, nt Mneon,
wos telegraphed a full description of tho young
lady, ami asked to keep a lookout for her. Mr.
Kuapp searched tho city, and replied that
there was no person answering to Miss Howes???s
description to bo found.
The ship was hy this time ready to sail, and
the young lady???* sister was anxiously awaiting
intelligence that might lend to her recovery.
Upon the receipt of Mr. KtiApp???a reply that
he had been unable to gain any information of
her whereabouts iu Macou or along tho road,
tho cup began to look mysterious. Mr. Bar
naul assured his sister that every effort would
He made to reach Miss Howes, and thnL she
\foiild be sent by thcuoxfstea'mer; Wlm this'
assurance the sister left for Boston. Mr. Bar
nard nt onco continued his efforts to find tho
young lodv, and by repeated telegrams suc
ceeded in overhauling tho Cincinnati
sleeper at Chattanooga, where it was learned
from the conductor that Miss Howe* hod been
sent back to Waycross that morning. In tho
meantime the interest of those engaged in tho
search for tho young lady had heightened, nrnl
various theories were advanced. It was.
thought by some she had fallen or jumped
from tho train ami was killed, nnd by others
that tho matter had been pre-arranged nnd
thnt she had voluntarily left her sister nud
eloped. The telegram from tho conductor at
Chattanooga was not wholly satisfactorily to
those who believed that such wa* the case,
and it was not until more definito information
had been obtained thnt they were convinced
ng Indy???s discovery,
Haines, of tho Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, who had been acquainted
with the ease, telegraphed the operator at Wny-
eross a ntid learned that Miss Howes had been
there, hut had gone on to Brunswick, where
she had friends. Later a telegram was receiv
ed from Brunswick announcing her arrival
there, and that she would reach Savannah on
Friday morning. The Friday morning train
brought her to the city in company with
a gallant young German, who, upon
learning of her adventure, assumed the role
of protector until he had placed her
in Mr. Barnard???s care. She had been provid
ed with money by her friends, nud further
than being wearied by n long day** travel wos
ns unconcerned about her safety as though sho
had been in her home. The anxiety of her
friend* had been greater than her own. While
tracking her the short distanen sho had trav
eled, the telegraph hod clicked her name over
thousands of miles of wire, and at tho ofliee*
where inquiry had been made, and on board
the trains where the porters inquired,
"Miss Howes on board?" sho became
known as "the lost woman." There
nre probably few incidents in trove) which bet
ter illustrate the possibilities of an error, and
which show more clearly the wonderful pro-
{ fres* of invention than tne one just told. The
ong night ride of Miss Howes from Waycrosa
to Albany and return, her trip to Jesup aud
Brunswick ond on to Havanuah was made
without the slightest embarrassment, anil she
was given the most courteous attention by the
train officials by whom she was passed to her
destination. Upon arriving here she waa
driven to the Pulaski house, and in the aftcr-
noon was placed on board the City of Augusta
en route to her home in the old bay state.
