FATHER AND DAUGHTEB
THE MEETING OF NELLIE SARTORIS
AND THE GENERAL.
A Good Night's Rent and Comfortable Day.
Working on His Book Again—Some
Medical Opinions in Regard to
a Proposed Operation.
New York, March 23.—When Mrs. Sar
toris amve<l at the Grant residence she did
not wait to remove her wraps, but went at
once up stairs. The general and Mrs. Grant
were in their bed room. If the general was
nerv< us he did not show it. He returned his
daughter’s caresses affectionately, and in
answer io her anxious inquiry said that he
felt very well. Dr. Douglass was there, and
would nut allow the general to have a long
talk and sent him off to bed. Soon after
ward he seemed to be asleep and the doctor
went away.
lie slept very well all night He must have
slept seven hours eontinuou.dy, with scarcely
an . in errupUon. He has been very well
through the day, tak i - more foxi than
u u il. He called for and parto »k of some
roast mutton at dinner. During a portion of
ait-moon and ov -inng he was engaged in
r >ing his b ok, but did no writing. He ac
com dished er.uugu to keep others busy on
th" work for two or thro * days. He felt very
comfortable and inclined to sleep, and is
l her ‘fore the beat he has bjeu for some time.
His throat looks better—not a manifest im
provement, but it was without that angrv
look it has had some times.
The following appears in the Medical
record:
“During the post wees the local disease of
Gen. Grant lias shown no marked tendency
toward progressive ulceration. At the re
cent weekly consultation Dr. Fordyce Baker
was unavoidably absent. Drs. J. H. Doug
h’s, Henry li. Sands, and George F. Shrady,
who were present, mu ie a thorough exarmn
a 4 onul the general’s throat, with a view of
discussing the expediency of a ra lical sur
gical operation for the removal of the
growth. Such a measure would inv< Ive the
division of the lower jaw in the median line,
the extirpation ol the • ire longue and the
greater part «f the soft palate, together with
the removal of the ulcerat *d and infiltrate 1
faucus and the indurated glandular struc
tures umier the right angle ol the lower jaw.
This was considered mechanically possible,
d spite the close pro‘.unity and probable in
volvement ot the tissU'S adjoining the large
arteries and veins .n the neighborhood of the
ulcerations; but ;n th* best interests of the
distinguished patient the surgeons did not
feel inclined to recommend the procedure.
Even by >u h means there could be no guar
antee, in view of exi is.ve surrounding in
filtration, that the limits of th * disease coul 1
be reached without immediate risk to life by
the severe shock to a constitution already
much enfecbleed. Th* low vital power is
such a strong element in the decision that,
for the present at least, no kind of operation
will be undertaken, The ulceration on the
side of the tongue has not progressed far
noagh to produce the us ml intolerable pain
associated w ith that condition, but should the
latter symptom apo ar it n.ay be deemed ad
visable to divide the gustatory nerve.
M Tbe general tone of the patient s system
remains about the same as last report, not
withstanding he has suffered much from in-
Mimnia. The latter, within the last day or
two, has lieen kepi under control by a suita
ble anodyne. J here is do pain in swallowing,
and sufficient food is taken w ith a reasonable
relish. ’’
The Philadelphia Medical News has the fol
lowing article on the disease from which
Gen. Grant is suffering:
“Although sc.rrhous carcinoma of the
tongue is occasionally met with, the most
Important of the neoplasms of that organ is
tpithelioma. the natural history of which has
i special ini rest at this time, in connection
with the case of a distinguished citizen, in
which minute examination has disclosed that
the disease is a cancer of that type.
“Lingual epithelioma, as a rule, rapidly
progresses toward a fatal termination. When
left to itself the life of the patient from the
first appearance of the disease varies, in ac
cordance with the estimates of different ob
servers, from 10.5 to 13 months, the average
being 11.7 months. Death ensues, first, from
the geueraliaation of the disease; secondly,
from septic pneumonia, from the inhalation
of the putrid emanations which result from
the decomposition of the products of the
Ulcerated surface; thirdly, from starvati n,
through th" pressure of the infect <i lym
phatic glands and surrounding parts upon
the oesophagus, thereby interfering with de
glutition; and lastly, from hemorrhage pro
ceeding from the ulcerated lingual arteries or
the vessels of the neck.
“The duration of life of those who survive
an operation averages nineteen months. Not
only does operative interference prolonglife
and relieve buffering, but it effects a fina
cure in fourteen jxjr cent, of all cases. In at
taining these results it must, however, tie re
membered that excision of the tongue is at
tends! with a mortality of twenty-three per
cent., the principal dangers being shock,
hemorrhage, oedema of the glottis, septic
lung affections, pyaemia and "rysipelax, some
of which risks can be avoided by taking care
ful precaution during the operation and by
the perfect mg of antiseptic measures during
and after the procedure.
“When, in addition to disease of the tongue
itself, the palate and the tonsil are involved,
the prognosis is far more grave, whether the
disease ! e permitted to pursue an unaided
course or whether it be subjected to the
knife. In the latter event not only will the
tongue have to be extirpated, but the disease
of the palate and tonsil will have to be
reached either by Langenbeck’s or Mikulicz’s
method of operation. In the former the jaw
bone is divided just in front of the masseter
muscle, while in the latter the ramus of the
jaw is resected. For carcinoma of the tonsil
alone temporary section of the inferior max
illa has been practised by Cheever, Gensmer
end Von Bergmann. In Chever’s ease the
disease continued to progress; in Gensmer’s
there was freedom from recurrence for
thirty-three months, while we are not aware
of th- fab* of Von Bergmann’s patient. In
?i " ietz's case of resection of the ramus the
patient wa- well at the expiration of six

DUDE DUELISTS.
They Shoot Wind nt Each Other to Settle a
“Suipe Hunt.’’
Lawrence, Kas., March 23. —Quite an ex
citement was created in this place over a
duel between a young man by the name of P.
A. Newberg, from Lea vens worth, and Don
Crow, the son of the republican candidate for
mayor. The difficulty grew out of a little
squib tliat appeared in the Lawrence Journal
giving an account of a “snipe hunt" in which
it was stated that Newberg held a sack and
candle for several hours waiting till the
snipes were driven in.
Crew was accused of being the author and
when requested refused to apologize, and in
timated that Newberg might go to the devil.
A challenge was sent and accepted with shot
guns, at thirty paces, as weapons. John
Donnelly acted as second for Crew and Ed.
Fairfield for Newberg with Herman Haze as
referee—all prominent business men It was
uudei’sto • 1 between the secon<ls tliat the
guns we to be loaded with blank car
tridges. A'heu the word was given to tire
both weapons were discharged and Crew tell,
while a quantity of chicken’s blood made a
respectable corpse. The crowd rushed forth
to see what the result was.
Newberg, thinking that they were going to
arrest him, drew a revolver and began to
shoot right an 1 left, while the crowd, 2IK) in
number, dispersed in every direction. But
the revolver, too, had been loaded with blank
cartridges, so no one was injured. NewiH r.
was brought over to the city from Bismarck*
grove, where the duel had taken place, and
■ousulted an attorney, who inlornud him
that Crew hail lieen wounded, and of the na
ture of his (Newberg’s) offense. Newberg de
ided to leave town, and took the tin>t tram
for Topeka

Illinois Coal Miners Preparing lo Meofa
Red action.
St. Louis, March 23.—A strike of coal
miners in the Belleville, 111., coal mining dis
trict is threatened. The miners in the Staun

Chief Joseplia himself beais up wonderfully
well, and has cheered up his tribe by the
words that some time the great father at
Washington would keep his word and Jet
them return to their hunting grounds near

much broken hearted, and it is predicted that
even if his tribe? reach their old home txffore

Southampton, Isle of Wight, James City,
and other counties of the state to the affect
that the hogs in those localiteis are dying by
hundreds of a disease resembling hog cholera,
thus causing heavy losses to the farmers.
Dr. George Potts, a veterinary surgeon of
this city, who has just returned from those
counties, where he marie a study of the di

says it is pneumo-enteritis of an erysipelatous
form. It is not known whether it is an at
mospherical or contagious disease. The hogs
attacked with it die within a day. After
death some of the hogs turn red or purple.
The symptoms of the disr*ase are pain in the
back, swollen lungs, quick breathing and an
indisposition to move about.

i arrest of Mr. T. J. (’luverius, the young law
-1 yer of King and Queen county, charged with
the murder of ‘lie lady. The officer arrived
I here with the prisoner. They arrested him
jat the house of Mrs. Samuel Tunstall, near
[Little Plymouth, in that county. He was
at the snojx r table when the officers were
aimojiie i
lie admitted that he had hoard of the dis
covery of the dead body of Miss Madison in
this city. He hud just obtained the Rich
mond papers with the information. He also
admits that lie was in Richmond on Friday
last, the day on which the unhappy girl must
uave come to her death. Cluverius denies
uliat he saw her during ins stay here, or that
lie had any communication with the girl,
.1" r written or otherwise. Ho can, bo says,
account for every hour of his stay here from
the time of his arrival ou Thursday until his
departure for his home ou Saturday morning.
Mi. Cluverius is about twenty-ihree years us
age and is well connected. His family is
possessed of plenty of means, and w ill spare
no expense to defend him.
All who know him nay that the accused is
i man ol irreproachable character and in
vipable of committing a crime, much less
- ich a cold-blooded murder as he stands
•barged w ith. When arrested by the police
young Cluverius had with him a package
i .‘Qiitaiiiiiig lift 'en or ( twenty letters, most of
I w meh were from Indios. It appears from
.e.M' missives that ( lu . ■ Lus is quite a favor
it ■ with the fair sex. Tiiere are some very
riiiey letters in the batch, so the police say.
Tiie bitter cold weather did not deter
ciowds from visiting die city reservoirs and
looking in the basin where the pretty girl
net her death. The keeper has finally been
compelled to lock the gates. The betrayed
girl’s career up to this one slip which caused
aer sad end has been pronounced unblem
ished by all who know her. She was a mem
ber of the Baptist church, as was also 'l'homas
J. Cluverus, the young man charged with
her murder. The poor girl has been buried.
I o avoid iiK’retismg the excitement there was
io ceremony either at the chapi 1 or at the
. rave. Iler remain' were followed by her
aged father and nearest relativos, who wept
bitterly when the body was consigned to
Oakwood cemetery.
The citizens are talking of getting up a
: mu se to employ additional counsel to aid the
■ •mmonwt aiih attorney in ferreting out and
prose uling . Lhu iiniru rer, as the crime is
.• in.Mdered a reflection uixiu the city.
A CAPITOL IN FLAMES.
Great Dnnuige by Fire to the New Jersey
State House.
Trenton, N. J., March 23. —Two explosions
were heard in the quartermaster general’s
iffioe, on the fir.-i floor, al the northwest cor
ner of the stale hou.->". The explosions were
followed by flames tiiat shot through
Mie windows. In t i minutes the apart
neats wore in ruins. The flames followed
the steam pip?s to the floor above, aud
(uickly set fire to the offices of the clerk in
•iianeery. From thes * the conflagration ex
tended to the geological museum ou the third
Hot >r.
In this were many valuable state relics, but
Me most valuable had been sent to the New
irleans exposition, a month ago. The battle
flags were rescued by the firemen at the risk
jf their lives. The sword and saddle of Gen
eral Kearney were destroyed. The lire then
noved bac l toward the dome, and it hxjked
t" (hough Hie supreme court room, chancery
o .i t room, and legislative chambers would
Uuve to go.
The books and documenta were removed
hastily from the offices of the comptroller,
the state treasurer and the secretary of state.
Phe fire was finally checked at 7 o’clock,
though the engines are still playing on the
ruins. An order for access may lx) had to
he chancery vaults where exceedingly val
liable papers relating to thousands of estates
lire kept. The vaults are not burned, but are
believed to be full of water, which will cause
almost as much damage as the fire.
The loss will not fall below SIOO,OOO. The
part destroyed is the fasade of the original
date house built in 1795. Only the museum,
the quartermaster general’s office and the
chancery office were completely destroyed.
The other departments were destroyed,
omewhat damaged by water. The chan
cery and supreme court roomsand the senate
and assembly chambers remain intact.
The entire building was worth $500,000, with
liberal insurance on the structure.
The explosions in the quartermaster’s room
are thought to have been caused by confined
gas which in some way ignited.
Rumor Denied.
Ottawa, Ont., March 23.—The minister of
militia demes that there is any truth in the
statement telegraphed from Priiice Albert,
Northwest Territories, that ad outbreak
among the half breed Indian-, is imminent
and that an appeal has been made to the gov
ernment by the disbanded militia corps in
that section to Ixj again armed to protect
themseiviis and their horn -s. there appears
to l>e little doubt that Riel, who l«xl the re
bellion at Bod river in 1870, is again inc iting
i the half-breeds in a quiet way to force the
dominion to grant them the same concessions
in the way ol land grants as were given to
the half-breeds of Manitoba.
Probably Lost.
Cleveland, 0., March 23.—Judge Ran
