NEWSI'AI'EK TRANSFER.
Chicago, June 23. The (Jerinantown

mofat profitable weeklies in Pennsylvan
a, has been purchased through the gen

Raymond, who ha3 been for four years
past tl'e literary editor of the Chicago
Tribune. The transfer does not take
place until August 1st.
A RATE WAR.
Chicago, June 22. The indications
for a war in rates between the western
roads in reference to carrying passen
gers to Denver, are growing riper ev
ery day. The Burlington & Qaincy
road is not inclined to move in the
matter at present, but seems disposed
to hold still until it shall discover how
big a war is proposed, after which it
will be compelled to meet the rates
This is the situation at present of the
other roads, who are quietly standing
off and watching the situation to see
what the developments may be. The
authorities of the St. Paul road have
been notified of the action of the Rock
Island, but as yet have made no re
sponse. It is barely possible that addi
tional action may be taken by the St
Paul, resulting in making a still lower
ate. This is expected, when the situa
tion at Indianapolis is concerned, rates
at that point have been made so low as
to offer great inducements to leave Chi
ca?o out of the line of trayel from
eastern points. Should a still lower
rate be made witnin a tew days, it is
possible that something may be done
to affect rates other than those compre
hended in the encampment excursion,
and there is a probability that such a
thing as a general war to western points
may be inaugurated, as there is no
pool to prevent such a step. There
seems to be no disposition on the part
of any of the roads to make a move to
avert a war, but a general standback to
see what the other roads are going to
do.
THE OARSMEN.
Pullman, June 22, 6 p. m. A breeze
has been blowing from the northeast
tor two hours and the water at present
is choppy. The lake had a forbidding
appearance when the time set for the
deciding race arrived, but despite the
chopping sea the men took positions
lluulan first, Lee second, llcsmer third,
Teenier fourth, Ciandaur fifth,
11 a mm sixth. Ilanlan and Hosmer pulled
sharply for tu lead. Hosmer drew
away strongly from Lee, crossing the
latters water and came along side of the
Canadian. Toward the mile flag they
went at a racing speed, Hosmer taking
water cleatly and strong at every
stroke for possibly halt a mile, keeping
fairly in the lead of Uanlan. For a
brief period it appeared as though the
Boatonian was staking his existence on
overcoming the great sculler, and the
tremendous pace of the men and their
plendid rowing displayed, drove the
spectators into a sort of frenzy. They
both held their course as true as ar
rows, but as they approached the turn
ing buoy, Uanlan was found to have
crept ahead, making quick time, and
was on his way home fully fifteen sec
onds before Hosmer succeeded in
rounding his buoy.. Neautime Ilamm
on the outside had been pulling aloDg
very close, rounded soon after Hosmer,
with Teenier and Lee well to the rear.
GanJaur had dropped out of the race
before covering a mile. The race was
left to the remaiuing five. They all
came home with their positions rela
tively unchanged, ploughing through
a veritable sea, making good time
Uanlan passed the line in 22:30; Hos
mer second in 22:52; Hamm third, ten
seconds'after him; Lee fourth; Teemer
fifth.

ARCHITECT HILL'S CASE.
In the Hill investigation, a state
ment was read from Daman, repre
sentative of the United States Fire
Proof Shutter Company, wherein he
denied the statement made yesterday
by Taylor, of Manly. Cooper & Co., to
the effect that he ordered to bribe
Taylor to withdraw his bid. Hill
again took the stand and testified
he did not show the Secretary
of the treasury, the letter charging brl
bery, but reported the same verbally
Coleman, attorney for the prosecution
asked for an expert to assist in exam
ining contracts of the St. Louis postof-
flce, claiming extensive frauds existed
there. Hill's attorney objected. Chair
man New decided to finish the the in
vestigntion ot the Philadelphia con
tracts before taking up the St. Louis or
other points. Adjourned until Mon
day.
AN ERRONEOUS STATEMENT.
Seuor Godoq, the Chilian minister
here, said tonight the statement that
Secretary Frelinghuysen's proposition
for peace negotiations between Peru
and Chili, which had been submitted to
him, had met his approval, was errone
ous. His instructions from his govern
ment did not admit his expression of
ficially on such subject, and individually
he was opposed to submission of the
question of cession of territory to arbi
tration.
EWINQ'S FUNERAL.
The funeral of Gen. Charles Ewing
took place at his late residence this af-
Wall Streat News: One of thoos
good, old-fashioned fathers-born and
reared on a farm, but willing to see
his chrildren live an easier life-came
down to "York" the other day to sec
about getting his' son Moses into a
bank. lie went to n friend, and the
friend sent liitn to the cashier, and
the cashier said :
"Is 3'our son quick at figures?"
"Tolorably quick."
"Is he ambitious?"
"Yes; he wants to get on."
"Is he a hard wcrker?
"Well, Moses kin mow his three
acres of grass per day."
"Why dose he prefer a bank to a
store?"
"I swan! I never asked him why,
but I cucss it's because he thinks
there's a better chance to climb up
Moses is right on the climb."
"He is perfect!' honest, of course?
"Well, now, that's the only weak
point Moses has got, and I was going
to say to you if 3011 took him in, that
if you keep a wire fence between Mo
kcs and any money lying around
loose, and if von have a rule agin
boss-tradings, and if you don. tallow
shaking dice or card-playing, and if
he will keep sober, Moses will make
one of the most tremendous bankers
this country ever saw!"

General Grant Mother.
Mrs. Grant was born November
23d. 1798, on the farm of her father,
John Sinpson, in Montgomery coun
ty. Penn, She was of Scotch origin.
Her father moved West when she
was young, and settled at Point Plea
sant, O., where she was married in
June, 1821, to Jesse R. Grant Gen
eral Grant was their first child, and
was born June. 27, 1822. Mrs, Grant,
had other children, of whom Mrs
Corlin, the widow of Able R. Corbin
Mrs. Cramer, wife of the minister to
Switzerland, and the general, are the
survivors. Orville Grant died two
ago. Mrs. Grant was a woman of
much firmness and strength of chat
acter. She was a member of the
Methodist ch arch from her girlhood
She lived for some time at Galena,
and was for many years in Coving
ton. The fame achieved by her old
est son seemed to have little effect
on her, She was very little interesed
in matters of display, and was never
boastful. To her he was simply her
boy Ilirani, as she called him, what
ever he mip-ht be to the world outside
She was at the White Honse at his
first inausuration. After the death
of her husband, who died ot Coving
ton in 1874, and who left her a com
fortable maintenance, ,and she took
up her residence with her son-in-law,
Able R. Corbin, in Elizabeth, N. J
and remained with him until his
death in 1879. She then moved with
her widowed daughter to her last res
idence in Pavonia avenue. At that
point the aveiue is a broad, country
like road, lined with trees. Mrs
Grant's house is in the rear of the

Mrs. Grant was of medium height
