GRANT 5H T ( IT BETTER.
AN ASTROLOGER MAKES PREDICTIONS
ABOUT THE PATIENT.
He Says that According to the Stars th<
General will Have Several bad Days
Soon, on Any One of Which he is
Likely to Die—Dr. Douglas Talks.
New Yom, March 13.—Gen. Grant speni
a comfortable day, but he did not sleep well
which made the fourth successive testiest
night. Dr. Douglas has discarded the use oi
anodynes entirely to produce sleep and sub
stituted stimulants instead. The new plan ii
only partially successful. When Dr. Douglai
called at noon he was refreshed and in good
spirits. He was so well that it was decided
that imjiortaut business tlmt had been await
ing his attention, but had necessarily beei
laid aside during his serious illness, should
be attended to, Accordingly a commissi one:
was sent Tor, and arriving, the general wai
able to execute several deeds and give his at
tention to other legal business.
Yesterday was the secund day that he hai
been without pain. He t x>k quite a quantity
of liquid foot! and retained it Throughout
the day from the hour of his rising be showed
uuprovemeut. He showed such good spirit
and feft so well that he wanted to go down t<
dinner with the family, but they would not
permit him to do so. His only exercise is is
walking about his sleeping-room and library,
which are connected, and t hrough them int<
the hall. He read an evening paper, ano
was considerably amused at the random
glasses as to the state of his health, his plant
and the movements of friends who are ex
pected to visit the Grant family.
Htill another plan was tried for producing
sleep. This treatment was principally ii
taking food stimulants to be used if he wax
restless. “If you had seen Gen. Grant you
would not have thought he had been sick al
al Iso far as his face is concerned,” said Dr.
Douglas at his last call of the day on his pa
tient: “His pulse and temperature are excel
lent The former is normal and his tempera
ture a trifle over the normal of men in a
healthy condition. During the day he hat
six or eight hours of sleep and passed a gooc
day.**
A cab dashed into East Sixty-sixth streel
from Madison avenue and stopped in front ol
the Grant residence. A tall, dignified gentle
man entered and re naiaed a half hour oi
mure. The latter caller proved to ba Dr. St.
Leon, the astrologer. Wh ni asked if he had
been called to the Grant residen o, he said:
“Uh, no. I take a great, interest in the gen
eral’s welfare, as it is natural for everybody
to do. Long ago, while flu was president, «
mutual friend gave me the ’..ini -of his birth.
I cast his horoscope, air; have examined it e
great deal since his s. xness. Gen. Grant
was born on Saturday, April 27, 1M23, about
5 o’clock in the morning. At that time th*
sign of Taurus was risinAs he ciuiie ink
the world the sun was rising in conjunctioi
with the most fortunate of all the planets.
Jupiter. This denotes fame at last, n<
matter how obscure the birth. The
planet Mai’s was in the 1 royal sigi
Leo, near to the fixed star Reg ulus, and in
good aspect to Mercury, while the lattei
was in Aries, which is the mansion of mars.
Thus, Gen. Grant’s military fame is fully ac
counted for. His horoscope shows his greal
successes in war and later in civil life. Hi?
financial ruin and the distress of himself anc
family by reason of the failure of the busi
atsis with which they were connected, wax
predicted by me montns before it came upox
tlienj. Os his more recent life and his pres
ent illness and its outlook, the .stars tell th<
story more fully than the meagre bulletins oi
his relatives and physicians care to mak<
public.
The planet Mercury describes his disease
a”<« its lod*H •* in Aries slmjw that it is ii
hi' uead. Jupiter is the killing star and wax
seriously afflicted by Saturn at the time ol
his birth, and is located in Taurus, thx
throat. Thus the eaucer in the gen
earl’s throat is accounted for. Ido not place
much reliance on the reports that his bean
is seriously affected, as has been surmised.
Certainly no heart trouble will cause hi?
death, for the moon in Cancer describe*
the end of his life. I fear that the distin
guished soldier will be spared to us but t
short time, us the planets are rapidly going
into serious affliction. Should be escape thii
period a still inure unfurvunate aspect will be
formed on the 21st and 22d of this month
Then the danger will be even greater, anc
there will no doubt be a serious time ui
those days. The period of extreme dangei
will extend to the 28th and 30th of March
Each of those dates is extremely unfavorablt
for surgical operations. There will be a com
paratively peaceful and quiet ending of ht
general’s life, and there is nothing in his hor
oscope to indicate a violent death. ”
GEN. WALLACE TO GEN. GRANT.
Preparing an Article for the “Century” in
Reply to That of the Old Commander.
Itoiaxap >i.ts, March 13. —The Indianapo
Its Times, whose editor enjoys confidential
relations with Gen. Lew Wallace and fam
ily, publishes the following editorial. “Gen.
Lew Wallace, now our minister to Turkey,
feels keenly the criticism of himself
by Gen, Grant in his article on th<
battle of .Shiloh, in the February
Century, and will, upon his retun
home, which will be in a very short time
prepare and publish in the Century an art!
cle in which he will give a full and perfec!
history ut the movements of his division
throughout the two days of battle. It will
be thorough and exhaustive.
“Gen. Grant seemed to have forgotten when
he wrote the Century article that he ever
gave Gen. Wallace an exoneration which
covers a point he recently made againsl
him as a glove covers a baud. H«
forgot another peculiarly interesting
and pertinent incident. Arter thebattk
of Monocacy he was full of gratitude. Ix
saving Washington Gen. Wai la 'e had, ins
large measure, saved Giant's military repu
tation, and in tacit acknowledge out he in
vited Gen. Wallace to spend a couple oi
weeks with him at City Point.
The general accepted the invitation. Ont
Jay at the dinner table some officer:
were discussing the battle of Shiloh.
Gens. Grant and Wallace both listened
attentively. At length Gen. Grant turned
to Gen. Wallace. wbo sat at his right, and
said in a low voice: “If I had known thea
what Ido now, I would have ordered you tc
move as you started tor the tic-id.'’ This in
cident has never been mentioned outside oi
the general’s own family, because it wai
table-talk and might have been considered ai
confidential, but the general’s triends novi
feel that the Unitary. article relieves both the
general and taeuiselves from restraint.

I'he government has several thousand men

I forts to resist the barrier are being made at

At the capital it is said that Secretary
Bayard announced in a positive manner his
intention to adhere to the strict letter of the
Ail service law. -He sent his messenger
into each room of the state department with
:.he proclamation to clerks that they need
liave no fear of losing their positions through

not propose to dismiss anyone except for neg
lect of duty.
FrellnßhuyKen nt Home.
Newark, N. J., March 13.—Ex-Secretary
of State Frelinghuysen has arrived at his
home in this city. He came directly from
Washington to Newark, and was found com
fortably seated in his library. Ashe went on
carefully assorting a lot of pajjers he cour
teously but firmly declined to be interviewed
at any considerable length on the subject of
ixjlitics. He, however, expressed the great
est confidence in the integrity of the new
administration, while.’ of his successor he
spoke in the kindest and most complimentary
terms. He referred to a long and intimate
acquaintance with Secretary Bayard, and
paid a glowing tribute to the latter’s fitness
for the position he has been called upon to
occupy. Mr. Frelinghuysen expects io re
main in Newark indefinitely, and as soon as
some routine matters in connection with his
retirement from the state department are
disposed of, he will devote himself to his law
practice, which was abandoned to accept the
position in the cabinet of the late adminis
tration.
AMONG THE STRIKERS.
Everything Quiet Along the Line of the
Railroad*.
Sedalia, Mo., March 13.—The strike at
this point still continues and the fifth day
has passed with no signs of weakening, either
on the part of the strikers or that of the com
pany. Good order prevails among the men
and all attempts at boisterous conduct arc
promptly discountenanced. The excitement
caused by the report that state tn ops were
coming has now died out and the strikers
place a great deal of confidence in good re
suits that will accompany the mediations oi
General Jamison and Governor Marmaduke.
An attempt was made to run a freight out
of the yard, but on request of the strikers
both the fireman and engineer refused to
w’ork. Everything is very quiet and orderly,
in fact, there are very few people to be found
on the company’s property, and those who
arc there are for the purpose of guarding the
property.
Dallas, Tex., March 13.—1 tis reported
here from Fort Worth that all the Western
Union telegraph operators in Texas, whether
employed in the Gould system railroad offices
or in general commercial offices liave betm
ordered to go out on a strike, and that oper
atives in Kansas City, Chicago and other
large cities will be ordered to aid those who
strike. This report has not been corroborated
at Dallas, and how reliable it is is not known.
St. Louis, March 13,—The strike situation
remains unchanged. The troops now at Cen
tertown have not yet been ordered to Se
dalia, and are reported anxious to return
home. The railroad people are much dis
posed because the state authorities dont in
terfere and send troops into Sedalia, while
the temper of the citizens of Sedalia is such
that outside interference will h<* accepted
very reluctantly. This is because of over
whelming sympathy for the strikers. In
Texas the situation remains unchanged, with
little prospect of a peaceful solution except
by a restoration of w’ages.
Ordered to Turn Back.
Arkansas City, Ark., March 13.—Gen.
Hatch has received an official dispatch from
Camp Russell, Indian Territory, saying that
800 boomers from Texas and Arkansas are
moving westward across the Sac and Fox re
servation. The general thereupon Issued
orders that they be turned back and con
ducted off the government lands.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
SUPPRESSING EVERY EXPRESSION OF
LOYAL SENTIMENT.
MysteriouH Female Dynamiter who Is Tired
of Her Work —Good Cheer Between
Germany and England—After a
Husband —All the News,
London, March 13.—The Dublin corpora
tion will decide whether a loyal address shall
be presented to the Prince of Wale® on his
arrival in that city on the Bth of next month.
The extreme nationalists want to stifle every
expression of loyal sentiment, as they fear
that such expressions will discredit their
statements of distress and discontent in Ire
■ land, and strengthen the argument that they
are only professional agitators, who do not
I represent the real feeling of the Irish peo
ple. They fear, however, that the motion
for the presentation of an address will lie
adopted by means of a coalition between
the tory and moderate home-rule members
|of the council In order to coerce
, the moderates into voting against the
address, mass meetings have been held
this evening in all the wards having home
rule representatives in the council, and the
i councilors have been solemnly warned by
; resolution that if they vote for doing homage
to the “foreign potentate” who is coming to
Ireland they need never look for re-election
by their Irish constituents. Mr. William
| O’Brien, the pugnacious editor of United
; Ireland and nationalist member from Mal
i low', seems to anticipate that the council
will vote the address, and is already making
preparations to convene an indignation
meeting in Phoenix park next Sunday to de
nounce the servility of the council’s action.
It is needless to say that Lord Mayor O’Con
nor, who has experienced a change of heart
regarding the appropriate reception of the
Prince of Wales, will not preside nt next
Sunday's meeting, as he did at the meeting
held at the same place last Sunday week to

The Dynamiter*.
Paris, March 13.—“ Kate,” the woman im
plicated in the dynamite outr ages, has left
for Uma. Since the Loudon explosion she
bad bon living quietly and miserably in a
hotel near the Model in**. She is a woman of
about thirty, with delicate features, worn
j and jaded by night vigils and anxiety. She
dresses rathox* showily. She is respectably
connected. Her real name is Mrs. Moran,
j After refusing interviews to several English
papers, sue was persuaded to suy a few
words.
She declared that, though a violent hater
of English misrule, she means to sever her
connection with the dynamite scheme. She
considers that she has served hex* time as a
dynamiter faithfully, but has very little
remuneration to show for her dangerous
work.
“I don’t acknowledge that I have had any
hand in any explosions,” said she. “Yotx
may make what guesses you like about that,
but I am certainly a member of Section C.”
Kate fears after all that little gotxl will re
sult to Ireland from the explosions, but skep
ticism seems to proceed less from reasoning
than from disgust at the sliabby way in
which she has been treated by her fellow cbm
spirators.
“Several of us,” she explained, “have been
left here penniless and in mortal fear of l>e
ing unable to pay our hotel bills. A com
parativxdy large sum was remitted for me,
but never reached me. The Amer ican com
mittee. insists on having the control ot ail the
funds. This is the consequence. I don’t ac
cuse any member of the directory on this
side of the Atlantic <f fraud, but there
ought to be a separate fund here, and Mi
cliael Flannery, backed by two other’ in Hu
bers, has determined tlxere shall be.”
Being further pressed, “Kate” said she dis
appro ve<l of O’Donovan Russa’s bragging.
She also remarked that she thought it would
be more dignified to blow up places like the
tower or the houses of parliament. “Nor
am I the only one of us over here who thinks
so,” she said. t h;
The Sooloo Island*.
London, March 13. termany ha® given a
practical proof of the era of good feeling
which is no said to be re-established between
herwdf and England by signing the protocol
defining the rights and sovereignity of Spain
in the Souloo Archipelago. This document
was to be signed at Madrid last ) joem ber by
Senor Elduayen, the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs, Count Von Solms-Honnen
walde and Sir Robert B. D. Mortal’, the Eng
lish embassador. At the last moment Count
Von Solms-iSunnenwalde stated that he had
been instructed by the German government
to insist upon special rights of freedom of
navigation and trade in Borneo being
accxjrdod to Germany in return for
ber recognition of Spain’s sov
ereignty over the Sooloo Island Sir Robert
Morier at once recognized this as a stroke at
England over Spain’s shoulder, as the Eng
lish commercial interests in Borneo are much
larger than those of Spain. Sir Robert re
fused to consent to the German demand and
the negotiations were abruptly ended. The
matter has since remained in abeyance until
now, when the protocol as originally drawn
has been signed by Germany without any
stipulations about Borneo to hurt tee feelings
or the pocketa of. Englishmen.
The Infanta of Sf ain.
London, March 13 —The infanta Isabella,
of Spain, is to make a visit to Germany in
May, and is to be received with courtly
honors almost equal to those extended to her
younger brother, King Alptonso, during hi*
visit io the German capital in 1883. The in
fanta, who is not yet thirty four years old,
has been a widow more than thirteen years.
She was married at the age of sixteen, during
the last days of the reign of hex’ mother, ex-
Queen Isabella, of Spain, to Prince Gaetan,
Count of Girgenti, but he lived less than foux
years after the marriage. It is rumored that
the object of the infanta’s coming visit tc
Berlin is to make an alliance with some one
of several German princes who have been
mentioned as eligible.
Mixed Marriages.
Vienna. March 13. - Ihe news that the
Pope had by a special dispensation sanction

Poppex- with the Catholic Countess Castrom ’
was made public here. The newspapers sav i
such a dispensation was never before granted, I
An authority on the marriage law, the Jat i
Cardinal Kutchker, is quoted as saying ir

GREAH*V GIHON.
Defendants Senteiucil for Chantlzlng an
Alleged (iosaiper.
Washington, March 13 —The hearing in
the case of W. A. L. Gresham, Hubbard T.
Smith and Win. H. Ruff, so- assault on Al
bert D. Gihon, son of medical d’rector A. L.
■ Gihon, of the United Stat s army, brought
i out the fact that quite sori his scalp wounds
! were indicted on Gihon, who is only nineteen
i years of age, and owing to recent repeated
| sicknesses, not at all strong for his age, bji
Mr. Gresham, who is tw mty-seven year?
old, and regarded as an athlete. While test*
fying in his own beh defends nt Gresham
said that he novar chaitar. ,e I G ihon, but sent
word that he would cha .ise him unless he
would apologize for what he said at the thea
ter. He gave him the privilege of receiving
iiis chastisement in a private room
or in public, as he wanted it He
said the chastisement, if given in a private
room, was to be with boxing gloves against
j ..is (Gihon’s) l>are knuckles. This called forth
from Judge Snell the remark tat “these fas
tidious dudes of the present day have so
many fastidious notions that there ought to
be some reasou for demanding an apology.”
Two ladies testified that not only Gresham,
but Smith, who is apparently about thirty
five years of age, struck the boy with what
seemed to them to be sticks. The medical
evidence was to the effect that the wounds
were evidently inflicted by a blunt instru
ment
In his brief decision Judge Snell said the
law does not give any ni ’n the right to force
‘ a combat on his own tex’ins. lie regarded
Smith as having with Gresham participated
in giving blows to the young man. There
could be not doubt bu .‘ that all parties con
tributed: to an illegal act* and the ladies say
, that Mr. Ruff said, “Give it to him,” arid he
held that all three were guilty of the xtssaulb,
but not all equally so. The assault by Gres
ham was a serious case. He made the sen
j tence of Gresham sixty days in jail, aild a
. fine of SIOO each of the others. The ca>«
was appealed, and security being given- tlve
defendant® were released.

SPIRITUALISTS EXCITED.
n How a Dead Woman Talked with a> Friend
in Life.
Q | Portland, Me., March 13.—There is great
* excitement a mag qiiritualists and others in
!• regard to facte, or alleged facts, connected
with the recent death of Airs. Fossett. She
died after a brief sickness, and her remains
} were made ready for the grave. In the night
u a lady—one -ho had known the deceased well
I —entered her ; < >om and sat down near the
V body, and wn looking intensely upon the
* features that b -I been so dear to her in life.
She could no 1 , restrain her tears and said
n aloud: “W: u are you now?”
t At the sound of her voice the dead woman
t moved, turned over on her side and at last
k sat up. The eyes opened, and in a thrilling
g ; voice the woman who had been dead, but
u wbo lived again, spoke. Airs. Fossett said
€ she had been in heaven; that she had there
€ i enjoyed a happiness it was beyond her pow
tj er to tell; that she had met and talked with
h j her mother, long dead, and with other
J- ; friends. For some time Mrs. Fossett talked,
o ’ giving her awe-stricken listener a descrip
o j lion of her experience in the spirit land.
” Gradually her voice grew fainter, and she
, fell back on the bed clad, as she was, in hex*
- grave clothes. As the last words wore spoken
t the spirit took its final departure and re
-1 j turned no more. Some people believe that
s the lady saw a vision in a dream, but she is
- j ionvineed that it was reality, and that her
i friend returned and talked with her. Others
u | think it is a case of suspended animation.

* and, notwithstanding Fryer’s agility, suc-
- Deeded in lauding a blow squarely on the lat
ter’s inouth. Fryer then advanced on Rooke
and got in several half-arm hits. The latter
avoided one of these attacks by quickly step
ping aside, but was driven towards his cor-
s aer and pressed against the ropes by Fryer,
who struck him heavily on the right arm.
1 Fryer then landed a side blow on Rooke’s
* jaw, knocking him down. Rooke had just
* strength enough left to get up. He was
* “groggy” and advanced on Fryer, who struck
him under the left jaw, felling him like a log.
1 Rooke was picked up nearly’ senseless, and
1 the fight was decided in favor of Fryer,

2 Krepps, proprietress of the Monongahela
5 house, recently made application for a license
■ to sell liquor. Among those who opposed
* the petition circulated for that purpose was
the Rev. Mr. Scott, of the First Methodist

Niagara Falls, Ont., March 13.—Frank
. D. Warren, alias F. I). Lyons, charged with
a forgery, whereby he secured SIO,OOO in New

He admitted his guilt, and to save the Can

iu charge by two Buffalo detectives and
S7,(XX) of the money recovered. Wai iwl ar
rived here about a month ago, and has been
living a fast life since, wining and dining
every one who would partake of bis hos-
■ pitality. He gave a wine dinner a few even-
* ings ago costing SSOO. He made many friends
; among the fair sex, and lavished his money
: on them, representing himself as the owner
i of a plantation, with an income of S2OO per
day. It is reported that he was an officer of

Carters vi lle, Ga, March 13.—The Mari
etta and North Georgia railroad company
hxid a force of convicts at work on the road,
a large number of whom were made “tnistie"

a passenger train. Their conduct raised
much complaint among the people who were
subjected to thefts and personal violence
from these irresponsible creatures. One day
a convict named Ratteree, one of the most
notorious desperadoes in the, state, was de
tailed, mounted, to give chase to an ('scaped
convict. The pursuit took him into Haral
son county, and calling at the house of Hosea
Bice Mrs. Bice answered him. Not liking
her hesitation in dealing with him, he shot
her and rode off. The lady lay between life
and death for several months, but finally re
covered. Suit is now brought against the
railroad company for $5,000 damage.
