OBORGK H. PkNDLFTON.
After thirty-five years of his life spent in
politics, though not always successful, few
men are better entitled than Mr. Pendleton
to a reward from his party. He began public
life in 1854, as a member of the state senate of
Ohio. He represented Ohio in the national
congress from 1857 to 1864, when he was the
democratic candidate for vice president cm
the ticket headed by George B. Me Clellan;
was a candidate for governor of Ohio in 1869,
and in 1879 took his seat in the United State*
acuate. In private life Mr. Pendleton is held
in the highest esteem. His wife is a lady of
rare accomplishments. She was the daughter
of Francis Scott Key, the author of “The
Star Bpangled Banner.** and a niece of the
great chief justice of the United States su
preme court, Roger P. Taney. Their home
to at Cincinnati, where Mr. Pendleton wa*
born and has since resided.

Senate.
Washington, March 24—The beginning
*f what is expected to be the last week of
the “special” session of the senate opened
dear and bright, but decidedly wintry. A
heavy snow tell and a sharp, crisp wind
from the northwest, howled around the
capitol building, which apparently caused
the senators to forget what the session
was called for.
Mr. Hendricks directed the chaplain te
proceed with prayers, but there were only
four senators present
Before the journal was read Mr. Miller, of
flaw York, moved that the senate adjourn,
which motion, he said, was the only one Ln
order, there being no quorum present.
Messrs. Vest and Sawyer expressed ths
hope that the motion would not prevail
At this moment Messrs. Ingalls, Edmundf
and Morrill entered the chamber. Mr. Mil
lar withdrew his motion and the chair di
rected the reading of the journal, after which
they proceeded with the consideration of ths
Weil-Labra private Mexican claims.
Every precaution was taken at the capitol
to prevent “leaks,” and an additional door
keeper was stationed in the lobby leading te
the reporters 1 gallery, and all employes of
the senate had rigid instructions not to tall
with outsiders and carefully scrutinize a!
persons entering the reporters 1 gallers. Thi
tt is suspected is for the purpose of making
■ore no executive secret shall reach the eat
«f the public.
A resolution which was adopt? I Saturda '.
oxtending an injunction of secrecy until ■
ab.il become public by the proclamation o
the president, has created a good deal of coi
ment, and in a leader the Post says:
“It is impossible that the senate should ha
hept pace with the rapacity of the press, ” a.
enquires “Why may not the senate acc .
Mtuation to the extent of furuishing the pu
lie day by day, with such synopsis of its uc
Mons and discussions in secret sessions as ma;
not conflict with conscientious obligations tc
foreign powers, or confidential intererta." 1
suggests that thb Is Is aD eorreapondenta a*,
•nd is nothin? hut what the senate could
Satin S ” tLuni’b
grant without any compromise or its digni
ty, and concludes by intimating that the
star chamber process is unworthy of the
American senate.
In executive session, the subject under dis
cussion was a supplemental treaty between
the United States and Mexico, proposing the
rehearing of the Well-la Abra Mexican
claims. The only interest in this treaty is
centered in the respective claimants to who
it is alleged money is due for seizure* made
upon property by Mexico. The matter
was once arranged by treaty, I
but Mexico claimed that fraud .
and forgery had been resorted to by Ameri
cans, hence a new treaty. Owin ' to the strict
enforcement of the new rule on preserving
the senate secrete, all that could be ascer
on the subject was that elaborate speeches in
favor of a ratification of this treaty w®r*
made by Senator* Morgan and Voorhees.

demonstration of loyalty exhibited on
the emperor’s eighty-eighth birthday,
have never been equalled. The city was
decorated with Hags, an l the monument
to Frederick the Great was hun ■, with flowers
provided at the expense of Bmiruruder, the

Mount Vernon, which has just been admitted
to probate iu the surrogate’s court at Whitt
Plains, contains the curious bequest of a bar
rel of tinware to a daug 'rand of a “Barban
Heck candlestick” to his sou, Charles W.
Heck. The candlestick is a family heirloom
of methodism m America. Jonathan Huck
whs a direct desceiuiant of Barbara and
Paul Heck, whose church work in this city
forms the most interesting chapter in the
history of methodism This candlestick ii
is one of the old style brass affairs of the las«
century, and it was used by Barliara Heck,
so the family tradition says, to light the pul
pit m the old John Street Methodist church
upon the evening of the dedication by Philip
Embury, September 30, It has bean in
the family ever since. Mr®. Heck and her
husband landed in this city on the 10th of
August, 1760. Philip Embury, her cousin,
had prectshsl her ihreu years, having lmen
sent by John Wesley to the New World tc
preach Methodism. His small flock soon
scattered, and when Mrs. Heck arrived aht
found no church, no society, no preacher.
She used every means at her com
mand to excite a religious revival
and f illed. Desperate at her ill success she
one day found a party of young men playing
cards in Mr Embury’s house. She seized the
cards and threw them into the tire. Then
she command 'd Embury to gut up and preach
the gospel inert' and then. En^ bury dwelt
in a humble cottage in Barrack street,
now Park place. Mr. Heck went in
to the street and pulled m four per
sons and directed Embury to preach to
them. This was the nucleus of Methodism in
New York. VV'ith the assistance of the his
torical Uapt. Thomas Webb, of the British
army, who used to exhort in his uniform, with
hissword in his hand. Hit* society gi*ov\ until
they were able to rent a loit in William

tri-weeklv meetings. From this grew the
amous John Street Methodist church, Mrs.
Heck being the person who raised all
the funds and designed the structure
which was built by Embury, who was a car
penter Mr. Heck in his will also bequeaths
a number of love-feast tickets to his son
which wort' used in this old church. Having
finished her work iu New York Mrs. Heck
went to (.'anada, where she organized another
society, ami died there soofi alter. Mr. Jona
than Hec» was always a most ardent church
man mid one who was inure thoroughly n*
opectetl than any in Mount Vernon.
PANIC PREVENTED
By thw I’roinptltade of Firemen and Po
lice h‘ a I ire in a Crowded School.
New York, March “4. Fire broke out iu
tlie Five I’oiute Mission school just as thei
children began the morning recitation. The
flames originated in the rooms oceupie I by
Mrs. Christina Harman aul her three child
ren. The mother had gone to work and loft
the three children alone in Hie rtMims. They
had been burning pa;sir and thus set fire to
the furniture.
An alarm was promptly sounded, ami the
teachers with great difficulty succeeded in
keeping the children from becoming panio
stricken. News of the fire spread rapidly,
and soon the building was surrounded by the
frenzied parents and relatives, who tried to
force an entrance to resume the children.
They jammed all the passages to the struc
ture when the police arrived and drove them
out
The firemen soon hod the Are under con
trol, confining the flames to the basements
in which it originated. The teachers unite
id saying that but for the prompt arrival of
the polio *an I firemen a tcrribl ■ panic, in
which hundreds of children would have lost
their lives, must have ensued, as fully 600
children were in the school. Fortunately,
with the exception of one fireman who fell
from a ladder to the cellar and was badly in
jured, no one was hurt.
PLEUROPNEUMONIA.
Another Examination of the Asvlum Herd
of Cattle at Fulton.
Fulton, Mo., March 24.—James W. Payn,
A. B. Matthews, C. Powell, E. Dundas, Dr.
H. B. Setan and Dr. G. Bates arrived here
from Kansas City. They come here repre
senting the stock interest of Kansas City and
the state to examine for themselves Hie asy
lum herd of cattle, to see whether or not they
have the disease known os contagious pleuro
pneumonia.
Payn and Matthews are largely interested
in cattle and are looking for pointe. They
brought with them two veterinary surgeons,
ujiou whose judgment they could rely. They
came as a party of doubting Thomases. Dr.
Trumbower selected an ol<l case from the
herd and had the cow killed. The lungs
showed the disease most plainly, arid the
surgeons were satisfied that it was < ori agious
plenro-pneurnouia. After much inqu.ry and
the examination Payn and Matthews are sat
isfied as to the certainty of the disease and
would recommend that the entire herd lie de
stroyed, so that the further spread of the
disease may be prevented. The opinions of
these men and their interest can not be ig
nored.

“DYING IN DISGRACE?
GENERAL GRANT’S GLOOM OVER HIS
APPROACHING DEATH.
Thr Ohl Commander** Mental Agony—
Mourning for Thone Who Font by Him.
Haunted by Regrets*—Parson New

New York. March 24.—Gen. Grant fi

on his urgent request, by order of Judge Ben
edict, who is presiding in the United Htatei
court, where Grant & Ward’s silent partuei
is being tried for violating the linking law®
The shorthand notes of the testimony an
taken to the general's house every eveniaj
and read to him. It was through Fish’s cob
nection with th* swindle that Grant wai
drawn into it. H* was president of * leadinf
bank, a financier of reputed solidity, an<
possessed considerable wealth. Therefore
when he seemed to trint young Ward im
plicitly, Grant blindly followed his example
To tins day Grant is »>t clear in his mind
whether Fish w r as Ward’s confederate or vic
tim, though now’ almost brought to the for
iner view, and he is a self-constituted jury
determined to convict or acquit the prisonei
on the evalence.
Gen. Grant’s inability to sleep comes nol
so much from condition of the body as from
the rest of the mind. He has it firmly rout
ed that lie is going out in disgrace and under
a cloud, and all that his friends can say tc
him in no wise changes his belief. He talki
very freely with certain of his intimates or
the subject, and he tells them of his mortifi
cation ami chagrin that ne should have been
du;>ed by Wall, and that so many per
sous should have lost money by him. He
thoroughly understands, and indeed it is the
truth, that Ward used the name of Graut tc
carry on his schemes, and that many person.*
were led into them because they had confi
deiici* in Grant. And so Grant, with a nieti
tai disease upon him, and conscious that his
end is at hand, r sts with wakeful eyet
day in and day out, and thinkje,
thinks, thinks. He tells his dear
est friends that the responsibilities ol
battle and of leading the armies of the nation
gavt'him no such concern as has this Ware
business; that rest in the white house in th*
critical period when the country was recover
ing from the effects of civil war, was sweet
compari'd to the rest that has come to him in
the last nine months. He had hoped tha<
fort une-might in some way smile on him, sc
that ho might r ‘turn to those who have luel
it the money thus wasted. He would write,
he would work, he w-ould do anything to re
move this stain from the family. But he
was attacked by a disease that must prove
fabd, and soon ho became too weak
and too sick to stir out of the
house. 8<» ho silently and grimly, without u
word of complaint, ke«'ps his couch ami hi>
easy chair, and thinks. He mourns because
he cannot make restitution and b<'cause he ii
helpless. It preys upon him so that ho can
nut sleep. He knows that he must die soon,
and he is oppressed with the thought that he
is in disgrace because of the failure of the
firm' Grant & Ward through the dishon
est yol one of the partners. He does not feai
de iih, his friends say, but he does desire tc
make goud all the losses sustained by Grant
Ward. This t hought and the idea that he
is m disgrace is hastening his death.
Strange that Gun. Grant should have taken
such a liking to Parson Newman. To see the
two men together you would not imagine
that they had any tastes in common. New
man is not bright or qnick of wit or learned.
He is slow in conversation, as is Grant, and
you get no information from what he says.
Yet Grant has never let Newman get far away
from him since their friendship first ripened
in Washington in Grant’s first term
there, sixteen years ago. The parson could
always roam all over the white house un
molested, and was ever and always wel
come there Grant did all in his power tc
help Newman along, and it was Grant’s in
fluence that brought the parson on to New
York and established him over a then pros
perous church. There was, it must l>e ad
mitted, a great deal of politic® connected with
the church, and in the end the congregation
split and the parson had to go, but not until
G rant had suffere*! through the failure ol
Grant & Ward, and had been attacked by an
incurable disease. Friends of the general’s
say that there is none whom he loves mort
outside bis family than Newman, and
as it was plain that Grant must die,
Newman was summoned from California and
he has lived in the same house with th*
Grants since his arrival. Newman’ssermow
never attracted attention either here or in
Washington, an<l what Grant could find to
admire in him will always remain a mystery.
Yet Grant clings to him as to a brother, and
will not let him quit the house for an hour
without knowing just when he would return.
That Newman is a great comfort to the sick
man is conceded on all sides. Wide Grant
has millions of a*linirers, the number of hit
intimate friends are very few. The silent
man never seemed to enjoy what all me®
se k, the companionship of other men. H*
idolized his family and he loved Parson New
man and a few others, but they do not count
up half a score all told.
Gen. Grrnit passed a good night and ros*
at 8 o’clock. His great depression the lasi
few days has given away at this hour to i
feeling of cheerfulness.
