NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS THE GENER-
AL’S BEST SOLACE.
The Samoan Que«tion —The New York Post
Oftice—Another Hatch of Appoint

Reply ashington Note*.
I New’ York, March 27. -Gen. Grant passed
a quiet and peaceful night. His rest was
unbroken. It is no wonder that the arrival
of Nellie Grant Sartoris has revived her
father's spirits. Nellie Grant was her
father's favorite child and she was a lovely
girl Being the only daughter, he not only
set great ttore by her, but had high ambition
for lie r future Even at the moment when
her heart was going oaf to Sartoris her
father hoped that her life might be a promi
nent and useful one in this land. When Miss
Nellie came to the w hite house she was still
in short dresses, and hence it is seen that she
married very young. Probably no young
lady in Washington society at any time was
ever more high!}’ respected or more sincerely
loved than was Nellie Grant. Shu was
bright, w .lining, affable, discrete and gener
ous to ail. No ladies who have occupied the
whitewhouse imd more true friends than Mrs.
; Grant and her daughter. Lt was but
natural, then, that the t&urdy old warrior
should expect to r**' one of his own country
men, one of its bravest and best, lead this
favored child to the altar, and then into a
life as high as any in the country for which
! he hail done so much.
This was no unreasonable aspiration, and
ser preference to .Mr. Sartoris was naturally
j a bitter disappointment. When it wits an
' nounced that this favored American girl was
to marry an Englishman a chill ran .hrough
.he entire circle w ho enjoyed her companion
’ ihip. But, while the father was grieved, he
Jirew no obstacles in tlie way of his daugli
»r’s choice*, and Clio marriage took place. It
iis said by thuso nearest to the lanuiy .that
! her going to a foreign land in< reas<Hl rather
; duereaaed the father's atfectfon, and
; *Jiat as soon as ms malady b<?g.‘iir to preV
upon his iron will his o nos wish was for
Nellie. It is no wonder that her coming has
; jiveu him new heart, and t here is much that
is touching in the meeting of the great soldier
: ind this child Hu may not have much
onger to live, but. his last days will l*j
•asier, for the light which went out of his
i louse while he was the ruler of the nation
, ia> rrtuiued to make his sick chamber cheor

when his arrangements were eoinpletx'd for

shows that, notwithstanding what the rej>-
resentatives of the cabinet op nlv avoid,
they view the matter with the greatest
alarm. On inquiring of the government
officials it was learned flint further

caused through his being opposed by the In

definite from him for a day or two. They
expect he will manage to get to Carlton and
join Major Crozier. Before obtaining an an

drive about ninety miles to Humboldt owing

HtiKband Meet* Her In the Kings County
renitent iary.
Brooklyn, N. Y., March 27.—1 n the
Kings county penitentiary an old, gray
haired man, wearing n broadcloth suit, a
diamond pin in his shirt front and carry ing
an ebony cane, told Warden Green that ho
desired to see Mary Fleming, an inmate.
Mary Fleming waa serving a two years’ term
in the prison for burglary. She had been
taken seriously ill a few days days ago and
removed to the hospital. She was suffering
from Bright's disease and there was no hope
of her recovery. Wh •• told that she was
dying slip requested that .loan Fleming, of
Staten Island, be notified. It was he who
calk'd at the hospital.
“1 am her husband,” ho said, “and 1 want
to see her.”
“She is very ill—probably dying,” said
the warden.
“O, my God! has it come to this?” sobbed
the old man, and he sat down in the corridor
and wept. When he recovered sufficiently
he requested to be allowed to see his wife at
once. He was conducted to the female prison
where the woman lay on a cot. The old man
tottered to the side of the dying woman aud
got down on his knees before her. He em
braced her most alTectiouately and the two
wept for some moments. As the woman’s
condition was very Critical the warden felt
compelled to separate them, aud the old man
was led away.
! The dying woman was arrested six months
ago for breaking into a jewelry store on
Staten island and attempting to crack a
safe. She was fifty-six years of age aud ro
i bust When the officer was about to take
her into custody she drew a revolver and
would have shot him had ho not stunned her
by a blow on the head with his club. She
I was tried and convicted of burglary and
‘ sentenced to two years and a half in the peu
-1 itentiary. When she was turned over to
j Warden Green she refused to eat and dis
obeyed nearly all the rules relating to the
1 prisoners. She became a very troublesome
prisoner. A few days ago she was found ly
ing in her cell very ill anti removed to the
hospital ward.
The woman formerly carried on an exten
sive “fence” shop in this city where she was
known as Mary Fleming, alias Mary Ma
honey. She was wealthy and al ways willing
to advance money on the proceeds of bur
glaries. Among her circle of acquaintances
j was “Shang” Draper, Irving and other no
. torious criminals. Her husband is well known
■ ou Staten Island, and at out) time he did un
| extensive grexsery business in this city.
INDIAN CUSSEDNESS.

the (.rass to Drive Thein Away.
Pierre, Dak., March 27—A messenger has
! just returned from the Winnebago reserva
j lion with the news that the Indians have de
cided to make no further trouble. A war
dance was held in which forty red skins took
'part, all the squaws remaining at their te
pees, which is a sure indication that mischief
was intended.
Mrs. Cessna and daughter, who occupied a
shack, were driven out by tin Indians and
all i heir food was stolen. Tho shoriir’s posse
will return with the leading chiefs, and a
trial will ba held at Pierre. Major Gassman,
Un* Indian agent at Port Thompson, is said
to be largely to blame for these depredations,
aud if blo<xl is shed he will be blamed by the
settlers. He has not tried to stop the Indians
from molesting the s<juattors, it is said, but
gave his Indian police orders to confiscate all
projMirty. I‘he Indians, therefore, think they
have a right tx» take the property, and han
dle the whites as they deem fit.
Tho sky is red with prairie fires set by In
dians in hops of driving out the settlors.
The worst has passed, and it is hopxl that the
new commissioner of Indian affairs wifi tele
graph agent Gassman at once to protect the
' settlers.

approaching evidently frightened them off.

FATAL QUARREL.
Two Men Nettle an Old Feud by Killing
Lach O ber.
Evansville, Ind., March 27—A terrible
dual tragedy ;ook place in the “Barrens,”
twenty-six miles from here. Christian
Fleischman and Gottlieb Seharndiel were
neighbors in the old country and cousins.
Fleischman, however, proved untrue to the
friendship an 1 debauched his cousin’s wife.
Seharndiel and his wife came to this country
three years ago, and coming west settled on
a farm in the ’Barrens.” Bye singular co
incidence, Fleischmann, coming over, went
to the same vicinity and rented a farm. At
various times the bitter enmity of the two
men has cropped out, but never led ’to any
thing serious.
Both were in Stewartsville having farming
implements sharpened and the old trouble
[ camp up. Friends averted any fatality and
Seharndiel started home. His harness be
came broken and while repairing it Fleisch
man came up and remarked laughingly:
“You'd better buy new harness.” Scharn
diel retorted sharply and rushing at Fleisch
man with a large pruning knife cut a deep
gash in his cheek. Fleischman seized a plow
point and brought it down upon his assail
ant’s head, crushing through the skull. The
wounded man grappled with Fleischman and
they fell, Seharndiel uppermost. While iu
that position Seharndiel used his knife vig
l orously, cutting Fleischman to pieces.
Neighbors came along and found Fleisoh
, man lying dead in the road aud Seharndiel
near him with his skull crushed and brains
oozing out, and yet in a semi-conscious con
dition. Both bodies were taken to a farm
house half a mile away, where Seharndiel
lingered long enough to tell the story and
ihon died. Mrs. Seharndiel is in a delicate
condition and the news has not been told her
yet, her friends fearing fatal consequences.

MURDER WILL OUT.
George Hunter Found Guilty of Killing
Hl* Sweetheart, Gertie Phillip*.
Cleveland, 0., March 27. -The trial of
George Hunter for the murder of Gertrude
Phillips has been coucluded at New Lisbon,
the jury, after twenty hours deliberation,
bringing in a verdict of guilty of murder in
th* second degree. The victim, a pn'tty girl
living in Salineville, Columbiana county
had for years been intimate with Hunter and
In* iiad promised to marry her but hud sev
eral times postponed the wedding day. One
June night in 1884, he met her near a wood
land in the outskirts of Salineville. Gertie
failed to ret urn homo that nigiit. The next
day her family began search for her. Six
days afterward her body was found near the
spot where she had mot Hunter. A bullet
hole through her forhead showed how she
had died.
For a time a cloud of mystery hungover
the case. Then it was ascertained that for a
week after Gertie Phillips' disappearance
Hunter had driven to neighboring towns,
drinking heavily and pawning his revolver
at one saloon fur liquor. The bullet from
the wound in the dead girl’s head fitted Hun
ter’s revolver, and ho could give no satis
fatory explanation of his whereabouts after
leaving the girl. It was also ascertained
that tho girl was about to become a mother,
and the theory that she had threatened Hun
ter wit h exposure unless he married her, and
that he shot her to get her out of the way was
set up by tho prosecution and sustained by
the jury at Now Lisbon, where the case has
been on trial ten days.
OVER SUMTER’S WALLS.
The Old Flag Shall Flaunt In the Breeze
<»f Pence and Prosperity.
New York, March 27.—The twentieth an
num sary of raising the American flag ovof
Fort Sumter will lx? celebrated by the
Sumter club of Brooklyn at the Academy of
Music in that city April 14. The club was
organized at Fort Sumter in 1865, when a
steamboat full of people went from Brooklyn
to witness the ceremony of again hoisting
the old flag. Among those who have already
signified their intention of being present are
tho Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Commodore
Chandler, Gon. Gilmore, Admiral Warden,
and Commander Schley. Thu folluwi;ig is
an extract from a letter received from Gen.
Sherman:
“I take it for granted that you hardly ex
pect one of my age to come over a thousand
miles for any anniversary occasioa whatso
ever, and that you will lie perfectly satisfied
to receive from me this assurance of pro
found satisfaction on learning that such men
of national fame, whose names head your
sheet , still cherish tho memory and celebrate
an event of equal, if not more, importance
than the declaration of independence, be
cause Sumter is a monument of a fact that
the United States could and did maintain
their integrity, whereas the other was a
string of words."
The Bluffer* Talk.
Philadelphia, March 27.—Paddy Ryan’s
reply to Sullivan’s challenge was that he
couldn’t raise $5,000 or $2,500 and conse
quently couldn’t accept the challenge. Rich
ard K. Fox came over from New York, and
after talking the matter it was arranged that
Fox is to deposit iu Harry Hill’s hand’s $2,-
(0). This amount, with the champion belt,
valued at $2,500, Fox offers to Paddy Ryan
if he will fight and whip Sullivan any time
prior to Sullivan’s departure for England,
h i fight to take place at Butte City, Mont.,
where there will be no police intervention.
Fox offers to pay all Ryan’s expenses wheth
er he whips Sullivan or not. Sullivan said
that he would deposit in the bands of any
responsible man in Philadelphia or New
Y irk, or any bank, $3,000, making $5,0U0 in
j < ash and the belt worth $2,500, a total of $7,-
«sou to go to Ryan if he whips Sullivan.
