Of tbe Gross Immorality Which Exists in England.

LONDON, Aug. 3.—Later developments in the new scandal have shocked the whole country. That men trusted with the destinies of the nation should turn out to be violators o! the' most sacred obligations of moral law is felt to threaten the very basis of society's framework. It is deplorable to learn that fresh charges, involving another member of the Gladstone cabinet, are being revealed. The ex-minister -referred to was not, like Dilke, a sympathizer with infidels and member of clubs instituted to overthrow the throne, but a man who has hitherto enjoyed the personal confidence of the queen, ana who is second only to Gladstone himself in his influence in the country, and over the Liberal party. It transpired that this high personage maintains two establishments one in London, and one on the continent. In this case the outraged husband scornfully declines to settle matters with pistol, sword or gold «oin. Nothing wiU satisfy him but the shame and disgrace of a full disclosure in the public courts. Public opinion is becoming gradually aroused by these reported assaults on its complacent selfsufficiency, and religious bodies are awakening to

the giant evil

of

the

day

which is eating like a cancer into the generally healthy body of English society- A:

REFORM LEGISLATION.

A

The revelations of the Pall Mall Gazette are producing results in various unexpected quarters. The criminal law amendment bill, the necessity for the passage of which made the immoral disclosures necessary, is being pushed through parliament with unusual celerity, and the house of commons is always crowded whenever the subject is debated The most notorious libertines come forward in the guise of moralists and endeavor to out-do each other in their propositions for restrictive provisions of the most stringent nature.

VICE AT ETON, Px*~ ".3*

Alarming revelations of a kindred character have now come to light in relation to the scholars at Eton^ the highest educational institution of its kind in England. Private investigations have revealed the fact that abandonded women have been in the habit ot making a common rendezvous of Windsor, almost within the shadow of the royal castle, for the purpose of leading off the wealthy students who have entered Eton. It was found that at first they were met at night by the older boys, from 16 to 18 years of age, and driven

the neighborhood in carriages.

Finally they invaded Windsor parij where the young men and women held meetings unmolested. The younger boys soon imitated the example of the older students, until Lton became in reality a school for scandal. Efforts have been made to conceal the facts from public notice, but the enormous prevalence of disease among the scholars led at length to the disclosure of this latest and frightful scandal. Nearly 300 men and boys have made full confessions and none of the offenders will be allowed to return to Eton after tbe end of the present term. They have been spared the severe penalty of expulsion on account of their family connections, which are among the highest and wealthiest of England and because their future prospects would be ruined, as boys expelled from Eton are ever afterward ineligible to appointment in the army, the uavy or the church. i?

V3- POPULAR REVOLT. Arrangements are being made to hold a monster meeting in Hyde park to give definite and formal expression to the public sentiment in relation to the iniquities exposed by the Pall Mall Gazette. It promises to be one of the most remarkable and important popular demonstrations that has occurred in London for many years, especially as its leading idea is suppose! to be an uprising of the people against moral corruption and crime in high places regardless of the sacredness of humbler homes in England. A preliminary meeting was held in Cannon street this evening at which committees were appointed to make all necessary arrangements for the greater demonstration which is to be held in about a fortnight. Nearly $500 was subscribed, and urther contributions are solicited for the purpose of defraying the expenses. Mr. Stead, the editor of the Gazette, made a stirring speech, which aroused immense enthusiasm and was received with long continued cheering.

CHICAGW, Aug 3.—The great rain storm stopped at midnight. The total

rain

fall in the preceding twelve hours was 5.58 inches, an inch more than the entire rain fall during the month of August in either of the last three years and the greatest fall within the time specified on record. The fall was so great and rapid that the sewers were unable to carry off the volume of water. The 420 miles of sewer pipe are constructed on the basis of allowing an inch of rain fell an hour, while yesterday it exceeded two inches.

The superintendent of sewers is of the opinion that the flushing of the sewers will prove beneficial, thoroughly purging them, thus proving beneficial to the publio health. The paved streets throughout the city this morning, particularly the stone paved ones have the appearance of having been scrubbed clean with brooms. Many of the Grant decorations on the public and private buildings are bedtaggled and torn, l'he damage by the flooding of baseinents was heavy. Early in the afternoon basements and cellars that were more than en feet in depth soon contained between two and three feet of water.

Thousands of rats poured from the sewers and the basements as the water began to fill up the conducts. The rats ran around the streets, scurrying hither and thither in their search for places of safety. Not unlike them were the Chinamen, all of whom occupy deep basements. Nearly every celestial in the city found himself without a place to lay his head, and late into the night they were seen hunting cheap lodging houses. Numberless families were forced to leave the basemenfa in which they resided and seek, for temporary lodging in apartments above, the level of the streets. Of the residence streets, Huron was conspicuous in this respect, the tenants of many basement dwellings being compelled to leave their homes.

Basements and cellars throughout the portion of the south side, where the wholesale houses are situated, were filled with Water to a depth of several feet, the loss thxougli this district being heavy though no estimate of the damage could be made even by those who are experienced in such matters. The first business firm to ask for assistance from the city was Lyon & Healy, dealers in musical instruments at the corner of State and Monroe streets.

Fire engine No. 32 was compelled to abandon the job of pumping out the' water after two hours fruitless labor, t| the water poured in as rapidly as it wal pumped out. Numberless other places were visited but no better sucdess was met with and the many enginesTwhich had been detailed on the work returned to their respective houses. Water from the sewers and overflowing gutters flooded the Palmer House basement last evening putting out the fires in the boiler of the engine by which the electric lights were run. Three of the lights had to be dispensed with.

The.management of the House is remodeling the rear office of the hotel and has entirely removed the skylight which roofed the room and the rains descended uninterruptedly into that portion of the basement throughout the day and night. In the new Opera House block the same agency extinguished the fires in the elevators engine boilers and compelled the stoppage of the elevators.

Where sewers have been put in the ground has sunk about three feet rendering the streeto dangerous. Fall street near Lake, but recently paved, sank several feet. The Randolph street railway track was badly washed out near Ann street. All that portion of the city west 'of Ashland avenue and south of Twelfth street was covered with water to the depth of over two feet. This is due to the fact that this portion of the city is about four feet lower than the more improved portions.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug .3.—The thermometer has fallen to 78 degrees, and it is delightfully cool after the steady rain last night. Reports from over the state indicate the rain has been general.

Kentucky Election Today.-

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 3.—State election for Treasures and members of the Legislature is progressing quietly here today. Laske (Dem.) for state treasurer is being opposed by Fox prohibitionist who is receiving Republican votes. Owing to the small registration but alight vote will be polled. The vote in calling the convention to revise the constitution will be small owing to the lethargy of the public on the subject.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 3.—A special to the Times from Lexington says in an election row at Athens, in Fayette county, two men named Veal and Waller were shot and killed by Bud Hart, who was himself wounded. No particulars beyond the above have been received.

A SULLIVAN SENSATION.

A Horse Trading Gypsy Placed in Durance Vile. •.

SULLIVAN, Ind., Aug.' 3.—[GAZETTE Special.]—Considerable excitement was caused here Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock by the arrest of a young man named Melville Cooper, who belongs to a gang of gypsies that have pitched their camp below town here. The faots are that this gypsy stole a mule lelow Vincennes, and traded him to a farmer down there for 9 horse, and this horse was traded for another down about Carlisle and the Carlisle horse was traded to one George Dudley, living west of Sullivan, for another horse. The owner of the mule got on the track of the thief and found Eis mule in Vinconnee. The man that traded for the mule came north on the hunt for his horse, and found him somewhere about Carlisle. After making the exchange the Carlisle man comes this way and after making some inquiry finds that his horse was traded to one George Dudley, and the gypsy that had traded him the horse was in the saloon. He went in and while talking with the bar keeper some one informed the gypsy that they were fetter him. He skiped out the back way and out of town and over the fields with a dozen men after him. He was finally captured about a mile from town by two of the Hammond boys. When the boys werei about to seize him him he drew a revolver and told them not to come any further, but the boys told^ him to shoot and be d—m marched up took him, brought him in and locked him up. Immediately proceedings were under way to get out a writ of habeas corpus. While the papers were being made out and signed by the judge and duly delivered by the clerk to the Sheriff's wife, the Sheriff being absent, it soon leaked out that the sheriff anticipating a move of that kind and before the papers were served on him, got his prisoner into a buggy and struck the railroad some where between here and Vincennes, and lodged the prisoner in jail at that place.

CLOSING"SCENES.

Last Sabbath on Mount McGregor. MOUNT MCGREGOR, N. Y., Aug. 3.— Hundreds of visitors came up on the little mountain railroad yesterday. In the afternoon Mrs. Grant asked that Dr. Newman be sent for to oome to the cottage. Thus it Was that about 2 tfciook Mrs. Grant and her daughter and sons, with their wives, were in the room with the dead. The family surrounded the catafalque, beneath which was the calm, peaceful face of the General. Mrs. Grant brought from a table her dead husband's Bible, which she opened and passed to Dr. Newman. He found that the book was opened at the fourth chapter of Job, and each one present knelt in prayer. After an hour's quiet conversation, the little group arose and the last Sabbath service of the family with their dead was at an end.

About four hundred visitors from Saratoga visited the mountain duriDg the afternoon, none of whom sought entrance to the cottage, but seemed satisfied to stare at it. A great many visited the encampment and inspected the oldfashioned pieces of artillery which were sighted upon the spot in the Valley of the Hudson where General Burgoyne surrendered.

The embalmers were busily engaged with the body during the entire evening. They will use coloring if necessary in order to have the face present a good appearance. Dr. Douglas says the countenance looks better thon ever. He believes the glass lid causes the dark reflection on the features. He states that the embalming could not have been improved.

Rejection of Claims of Officers Who Lost Personal Property Durinff the War. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—At the last session of Congress a bill was passed which provided for the allowance of the claims of offioers and soldiers for losses of personal property in the government service, except in time of war or hostilities with Indians. The claimants, through whose exertions the bill was passed, have presented arguments to the accounting officers of tbe Treasury, in which they hold that the terms "war" and ''hostilities" both refer to Indian service, there being no comma between the word "war" and "or," and that claims for losses during the civil war must be allowed. This the Treasury officials say would cost the government an enormous sum, more than could well be estimated. A case involving a claim for losses of personal piop erty during the late war was submitted to Third Auditor Williams, who gave a decision disallowing the claim, and holding that the aot does not authorize compensation for any losses sustained in time of war. *.

The Ballot Box Thief.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Pat Condon arrested on a farm in Bureau county was not the alleged ballot box thief at all. Condon lived near the corner of Thirty Sixth street and Low Avenue, not far from where the ballot box thief held forth, but they are not related, and do not even know each other. It it thought that Condon has doubtless gone to Ireland, as his friends say he has.

Mr. Kennedy, of Center Point, fathef in-law of Fred Lee, is in the city today. Mr. Kennedy is a miller, a capitalist and one of the prominent men of his county.

PARTS,-PART FIRST.

MT. BJECGREGOB, N. Y., Aug. 4.—-On the mountain brow by tbe eastern lookout a gun boomed sullenly at four o'clock, this morning. The shock of the reverbrations was yet on the heavy air, when a second report shook the earth and stalled the birds in the trees. The artillerymen had begun firing thirteen guns to mark the sunrise of* Gen. Grant'd^bst day upon the mountain. In quick sribcession and at short intervals the guigB were fired. The rain had stopped* but mist still concealed the valley., The shoulder of day was pushiug thttnigh. Diffused and apparently rouroetaM light was tinging the heavy fogs. Owe morning crept on to 5 o'clock and again the half hour gun boomed its solemn token of respect from the mountain side. Then a steady breezn came up from the direction of the Catskills and fanned passed to the depot and the throng openings in the low-lying clouds and™""1 they»^enn moving. Shreds of gray vapor woe torn from the lifting fog by the tree fops and floated lazily off toward |he northeast. Distances lengtherifd to tbe vision and tree trunks ani tope-were visible at the same time. The cottage and the hotel became so clear tlw several artists for illustrated papers *pre enabled to oatch their outlines. Tbe soldiers received orders to break up camp and in less than twenty minutes all the tents had disappeared from aiagog the trees and were packed away ifii? boxes ready for shipment. Notwithstanding the heavy and continuous raifrof the night, the soldiers slept well andEpwere comfortable. They had an abufcdant supply of dry straw to plaoe. under their blankets and the tent covers being water-proof they had littl| uneasiness from the rain. Down oa|the mountain side at 5:45 o'clock a fjugle rang out on the still air. It was th* assembly call for trumpeters. Fifteen nj|hutes later, the buglers of the four companies of troops were sounding the "reveille and as the last strains floated over the mountain they were swallowed up in the booming of the gun that eveiy half hour through all the day will1 tins tell the valleys the significance. of he day, and at sunset will close witn 38 volleys. Then the soldiers in fvll uniform stood at parade rest for roll call, down where the battery of guns am planted close by the path of Gen. Gravs last ride to the lookout. At 7 Molcloek the shock of the gain"'illWbke

--eehoes

over the mountain and down the slopes. The puff of heavy smoke from its muzzle floated out into clear air. Down at the foot of the mountain the edges of the forests were visible. The dav was coming in. The heavj' gray fog walls were broken. The family at the cottage were astir as the morning touched 8 o'clock and correspondents and guests were moving at the hotel. The mountain train at 6 o'clock had begun bringing up people and every hour thereafter the little engine drew up at the depot. The funeral car to carry theremains from the mountain td Saratoga came up early and lay waiting the burden it should carry. Last night tbe family in a group and alone had taken their final farewell of the remains of the dead General, and today they give up his body to the nation. At 9 o'clock the family except Mrs. Grant, repaired te the hotel for breakfast. On their return, Col. Grbnt and his wife, with Mrs. Sartoris, paused upon the ridge at the rear of the cottage among the pines to scan the bright picture of mountain and valley fresh fields and glistening leaves away to the eastward and then the family entered the cottage and preparations began for the funeral journey. Maids and men servants were busy and so was stenographer Dawson, who was receiving closing suggestions from the Col. The former will remain on the mountain at the cottage at Col. Grant's request. Even this morning, when the family were at the hotel at breakfast, it was not surely known what the widow would determine to do. She had had her trunk packed yesterday in the event of her deciding to go with the remains, but her decision, if known to herself, had not been shared with the family early in the morning today. At 8:30. the doors of the Grant cottage had been thrown open and a stream of visitors poured in steadily for over an hour.

About 9 o'clock theV**""'

iad of a ibuses appeal near tl the area as thro: farmers

line of buggies, wagons, various kinds of ve" climbing up the steep in eastern outlook and sooi the vicinity of the cottag* with horses and wagons with their wives ahd families. At 9:30 a train of two cars brought Genl. Hancock and a number of distinguished visitors. Two companies of regulars were drawn up to receive tbem. They pro ceded from the cottage in the following order: Gen. Hancock and CoL Jones, Admiral Rowan and Gen. Sherman, Senator Evarts and Genl. Bufus Ingalls, Senator Miller and Joseph W. Drexel, Gen. Hancock's staff, Miss Drexel, her aunt and cousin, dressed in deep mourning.

On the same train came the Loyal Legion. At 10 o'clock services were held in the cottage in the presence of over a thousand persons. Cane chairs and rustic seats were provided for the ladies under the trees in the grove before the cottage. Those who failed to secure leafy shade used their umbrellas. The ceremonies opened with the reading of Psalm 90 which was followed by an impressive prayer by Bev. Bishop Harris. The hymn "My Faith Looks up to Thee" was joined in by the whole assemblage present, with fine effect. Dr. Newman then came forward and delivered a sermon on the subject of the dead General, the family sitting meantime about the remains in the parlor.

•tgfi- %.

The sermon took about an hour for its delivery. Among other things he said, as his pastor, he was always sure of his presence on a stormy Sabbath.

At the conclusion of tbe discourse, the noble hymn "Nearer My God to Thee" was rendered very impressively by the alfresco congregation. The services ended with a benediction. After the services ended there was a movemeat of the people towards the cottage to get a final look at the corpse. But it was not deemed advisable to admit any one in view of the fact that it was near the time for the funeral train to start. Genls. Sherman and Hancock and Senator Evarts left the balcony together. Mrs. Grant had concluded to not go with the funeral train, but to wait over until 4 o'clock, when she and the other ladies of the family will leave for Saratoga and from there go direct to New York. U. S. Grant poet 327 of Brooklyn bore the remains from the cottage to the station shortly before one o'clock. The military were drawn up and a salute was paid the remains as

stood with uncovered heads while the casket as borne to the car. The mountain train waited at the little rustic depot Seven cars were there. Next to the engine, the funeral ear with open sides and solid massive draping was placed. The transfer from the cottage to the train was completed without difficulty and he train started for Saratoga. Among those representing the militarwere the following: Gen. W. T. Haoy cock. Gen. W. T. Sherman, Gen. Bufus Ingalls, Gen. H. A. Perry, CoL Sutherland, CoL John P. Nicholson, Lieut Col. Finley Anderson, Capt G. S. L. Ward, Capt John Weeks and Lieut Eugene Griffin. The guard of honor U. S. Grant Post, Brook :yn, consisted of Col. Wm. H. Barker, Maj. B. B. Corwin, Dr. Geo. W. Brus, Reese B. GWilliam. J. P. Howalt, Commander John H. Johnson, Henry W. Knight B. F. Mackellar, Wm. McDonald, Wm. J. McKelvey. Geo. J. Collins, Noah Tibbits and Geo. B. Squires. Six men of the legion of honor, general mourners were represented bv Wm. M. Evarts, Admiral Bo wan, Warner Miller, Joseph W. Drexel, Potter Palmer, Gen. J. A. Cresswell and others. At 1 o'clock the order to start was given. Engineer Martin shut all steam from the cylinders and the train standing as it did upon a grade slowly started by its own. weight and impetus down the mountain. The bluffs and ridges on each side of the track were densely thronged with people. The grove STvutir of the -ff ttage where the General's little grand children played was alive with spectators. Every rock, every jutting point, every vantage ground was occupied. But from all the throng standing uncovered in the afternoon sunlight no sound escaped. The mountain was hushed and still except for the heavy booming of guns bidding farewell.

The descent of the mountain was safelay accomplished the booming cannon at Mt McGregor being heard until those of Saratoga came within hearing. Thousands of persons were at the depot at Saratoga when the transfer was made.

There were nine cars in the New York Central train. Next to the engine came the funeral car. The other cars were occupied os follows: Car No. 2, Clergy and Dr. Douglass, No. 3, the sons and notable mournejs 4, General Hancock 5, Gov. Hill and staff 6 the President 7 & 8, the military cscort 9, the baggage. The

The Brooklyn guard of honor and the six men of the Loyal Legion with a detachment of regulars entered the dead car, also two men of Wheeler Post G. A. R. Soon after 2 o'clock Superintendent Voorhees bade Conductor Thornton give the signal to start, and the impressive and heavy train moved through the throngs and away from Saratoga.
