One Cent. One Cent. Absolutely Independent. TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1891. Grant’s Monument. Whether the recent death of General Sherman, and the fund promptly raised for the erection of a suitable monument to his memory had anything to do with a renewed and general agitation of the Grant monument project may never be positively known. Yesterday’s cere- monies on the banks of the Hudson, at the tomb of “the Great Captain” have been deferred too long but the Ameri- can people who believe in this grand Union of States, and who have sacredly enshrined the memory of the great military leader, are grateful that even at the eleventh hour the ground has actually been broken for a monument to the illustrious dead. Yesterday, the sixty-ninth anniver- sary of the birth of Ulysses Simpson Grant, had been approprietely selected asltheklayhipon which this unnecessarily delayed labor of love should begin. The weather was in harmony with the occasion and the dispatches elsewhere published in the DAILY GAZETTE show something of the intensity of the popu- lar feeling upon this remarkable day. Within a few weeks New York has followed to the grave the last of the great trio of war heroes. Within a few days it has celebrated the consumma- tion of the peace which the trio were instrumental in securing. Yesterday it honored them all in honoring the chief. Grant, Sherman and Sheridan are linked indissolubly together in the memory of the people. What Grant planned the others executed ; what Sherman was doing here Sheridan was doing there. So the building up of the glory for one does not dim the light of the others. The spirit of patriotism is bright in all. But the anniversary of yesterday and its celebrations brought back very for- cibly, with all its rejoicings and bright omens for the future, some sad memo- ries of the past. Scarcely sixyears ago the nation paused, and, turning toward the same green mound on the river, bowed its head in grief. A man was buried then. A funeral pageant was winding its. way up the hill. A sound of mufiled drums was in the air. A tramp of soldiery was in the streets. The sharp rattle of musketry was heard over a grave. A thunder of distant ar- tillery reached the spct. A prayer was aid and repeated b y millions. ' The city was black with emblems of mourning. Hundreds of thousands came out to weep. Throngs crowded the banks of the river. A coffin was lowered into the tomb and buried un- der mounds of sweet-smelling flowers. The body of a hero was committed to the dust and the soul of a hero was commended to rest. The last sad rites were over. The people left the tomb and went away—few to pleasure. They left soldiers about the grave. But they confidently left the soul of the man to God. Six years ago Gen. Grant was buried. o o o——————- FINANCIAL AND CODIMERCIAL. Closing Quotations of the New York Stock Exchange. NEW YORK, April 27. —Money on call easy at 3@3}«§ per cent.

More Encouraging Reports as to the 0111 Lady’s Condition He Will Return to the East. NORTH BEND, 0., April 28.—A most dis- tressing accident occurred at Cleves, a few miles from this place, Sunday afternoon. President Harrison’s sister, Mrs. Bettie Eaton, of North Bend, and her niece, Mist Moore, were returning from church in t carriage, when the horse, becoming fright ened at something, ran away, plunged down a bank and threw both of the ladies out of the vehicle. ' Mrs. Eaton struck the ground head first and was frightfully injured, and was taken in an insensible condition to the home of a friend, Mr. Hayes, of Cleves. Miss Moore had her shoulder dislocated and receiv~ ed other injuries, but was able to be re moved to the Eaton homestead in this city. ' . Mrs. Eaton recovered consciousness dur- ing the night, and seemed to be improving. with some chances of recovery. So says the physician, Dr. Hughes, of Cleves. The wires were thrown open early Mon- day between North Bend and San Fran- cisco, and the president sent the following to his sister: “We were greatly shocked to hear 01 your accident, and wait with great anxiety further news. My love, and may God grant it is news more reassuring. “BENJ. HARRISON.” Miss Moore is somewhat worse. ‘ The Party in Gloom. SAN FRANCISCO, April 28.—The heart has gone out of the presidential party, and the bright gind happy smiling faces of a day ago have taken on a strained and painful- ly anxious look over the sad report from North Bend of the terrible accident to the president’s sister. The agent of the United Press kept Gen. eral Harrison fully advised with regard t( the accident. The news was a great shock to the party, and Postmaster General Wanamaker stated the first news was 01 such a serious nature that the president, for the time, contemplated returning east. Subsequent dispatches were a little more reassuring, and the president finally de cided to await news of a definite nature before making any change in his pro gramme. He has made up his mind, however, thal if he does not receive more encouraging reports very soon he will abandon his trip, for the present at least, and return to the east immediately. Should the train be turned to one" 03 mourning, then the president will be abh to leave San Francisco on three hours notice, day or night, and go through tc Washington in four days. Should he b( able to attend the funeral, he may reacl Cincinnati in less than that time.‘ Th( route will be over the Central Pacific t( Ogden, Cheyenne, Kansas City, St. Louis Cincinnati and Washington. _ Mrs. Eaton is about sixty—five years old and is the president’s eldest sister, and tho shock may affect her on account of her age. Her son Arch, who lives in El Paso joined the party at that place and came a: far as Los Angeles. A Presidential Surprise. The president gave the entire city a littl: surprise Sunday morning by quietly going to the First Presbyterian church insteac’ of to the Calvary, where the crowd had gone. He enjoyed the service greatly, and as there was a rather small congregatior he for the first time in weeks enjoyed be in g unobserved. All the morning crowds of young me: stood in line at the Wigwam doors so a: to be able to get front seats for Postmastez General VVanamaker’s afternoon talk t( young men. Mr. Wanamaker had a ful’ day of it, for he went to church, addressec the school scholars at 2 O’clock, the young men at 3 o’clock, and went to church at night. Having resisted the temptation Sunday Of trying to see the president the publil made up for it Monday. From early morn, ing the great court of the hotel was filled with a surging mass of people waiting to catch a glimpse of some of the distin guished guests. ' They watched the hanging of a large oi painting in the hotel court representing three generations of the Harrison family—— Tippecanoe, Benjamin, too, and Baby Mc Kee. The immense canvas was hauled t( the second story of the court and hung there amid flowers and flags. A Relic of the lVIound Builders.
