At 11 o'clock C'oL Grant, accompanied by his little daughter, left the house aud enjoyed a liiilo frusta air in the park for tbe first siuce- Sunday. During the afternoon there were many people in th street aud adjoining avcuue. The sun was warm and bright, and th fact that Good Friday services were being held in many of th fashionable up-town churches, served to bring a mora that usual number of people to the General's residence.

Tbe crowds at times wer great that a member of Gen. Grant's household, accompanied by sm of tb neighbors who had been an- neyed somewhat Ly tbe growing crowds before their doors, sent word to the police-sta- tion asking that a special detail be sent to Sixty-kixlh street and th crowd kept moving. The scene was none tbe tas animated on this account, however. Quaintly-dressed children trundled their boops through th s' reet, and a score of small boys were skimming to and fro over tbe smooth flags on roller skates, demonstrating that even though tha policemen were bigger than tbe reporters, they were by no means equal to a boy on skates. There was little to be learned from th sick-room, however.

Tbe patient, for tb most part resting on his couch, was scarcely more than half conscious of what w-as going on about him or in the busy street without. A. SLIGHT RELAPSE. Gen. Grant did not keep op the general improvement during tbe early afternoon.

The doctors failed to state in their next bulletin, but tbe stories of the few who lilted the General agree that uca was tua case. Following this start raine a Dertod of drowsiness. Th sick man just laid back in Lis leather-backed arm-chair, closed bis eyes, aud teemed inclined to lJHairs drift along as best as they might.

His interest ia every-thing and everybody died out and he noticed no one. Even Airs. Grant sat by bis sid unnoticed for a long while, and Col Fred. Grant, Senator Chaffee and Parson Ktvmu failed to lead him into talking. Tho loog-contined drowsiness caused a sport of alarm for.

a few minutes among th family, but it soon began to wear off. At 2 o'clock Dr. Barker drove up to tbo bouse and joined Dn. Douglas andSbrady in a consultation, li bad bean summoned during the morning to come at that hoar. Tb physicians did not reveal tba Uaor of their discussion.

THE VISITORS AT THX GRANT HOl'BK to-day war eo numerous that two policemen bad to be stationed at the foot of tbe stoop to indue a many of them aa possible to content themselves with their assurance of th ick man's condition. Many of the callers wer from out of town. Tb most prominent of the were Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, aad Anthony J.

Drexel, the Philadelphia banker. Neither of them saw tha General, though they passed an hour or more in conversation with different members of the family. Mrs. Sonator Stanford, of California, was drivan to tb house in an i i open carriage, and sent a huge bouquet of lilies to tb sick room. Gen.

C. P. Colli, Gen. rarker. Lawyer Parrington, of the Grant-Ward c-asa; Clarence A.

Seward, John Jacob Abtor, Senor Romero, Stephen B. KJkins and others of leu prominence were' admitted iuto the house, though none of them got to tbe sick room. Col. Fred. Grant and Mrs.

Sartoris received all callers iu th parior ou tbe serond flour, and talked cheerfully of the outlook for a renewed lease of life for their father. As each one of them passed1 down stairs they were button-holed by tbe crowd peo- pio outride for information, and it was for them to get through without saying something. Xews from the stole room became more cheering evory hour, and whea it was known that tbe General was up aud walking, now and then, about his room, there wr not a few who pave it as their opinion that be would last' until next week, and perhaps later. The doctors went in and out of the house with lightened steps and spirits, and Ir. Douglas left the house for the first time ia twenty-four hours to get soma fresh air "and s.e his family.

He did not return until 11 o'clotk. The bulletin issued at iiuVj was awaited with no little interest, in ordur to see whether the reported improvement continued. It read as follows: "Geu.

Tbe house was lighted up from top to bottom, attd no one in passing would have suspected that anything unusual was going en inside.

gas burned rightly, and shadows on the lowered curtain showed that tieople war movine about within. They were Grant, Fred Grant, Mrs. bartoris. Senator Chaffee and Dr. Phrady.

The General kept up a running conversation with all of thtm. He walked around the rooui several times, and afterward, in order to comply with a request tor autograph, passed through the hallway, and tbe rear room. He walked unaided, and seating himself at the cenler-table, wrote fiysbes 3. Grant" in a clear, strong and vigorous stroke on four cabinet photographs which he had taken a year cd. He then walked back to his room.

Tnere was a slight irritation of the throne, woich Dr. ghrady relieved, when tb following bulletin was seot out: 9 p. it. Gen. Grant's pulse is 80 per minute and somewhat stronger.

He walks across the room and declines assistance. His mind is clear; his manner cheerful. He has taken more nourishment. There is a soreness of the throat, but no in iug. He ba just used a gargle with beue- fit.

Dr. bhrady says he never saw so much exhaustion in a man suffering with disease of such small local magnitude. This exhaustion, th doctor thinks, is due largely to recent shocks.

Special to the Courier-Journal I Morehcad. Aprils. Tha report of tbe troubles in Kowan county have not been exaggerated in tbe essential particulars; tbe couuty has been given over to lawlessness, and not even Judge Lynch sits upon the bench. Law and order are traditions around Morehead, but tbe reality is not in VTheu I reached Frankfert this morning I was so fortunate aa to meet Mr. Z.

T.Young, tbe County Attorney of Ilowan. lie had been uovu with some other citizens to im- piore military protection and waa returning from a fruitless mission. The Governor told bim that, until the civil authorities bad ex hausted tbeir powers, be could not order out the military. The Sheriff had tba right to summon every able-bodied man in tbe county to his assistance, and until this had failed the tstato would not interfere. In vain Mr.

Young protested that the Sheriff belonged to one of tha factions, aud was a prime nioverin tha disturbance. Gov. Knott said that, unlesa the commission sent by bim to investigate saw reason to report differently, Rowan connty must settle her own trouble, grievous though it might be. Vlr. Young had on a new black coat, in the shoulder of whicn a round hole, tbe size of a nickel, bad been darned.

It bad been made by a bullet from ambush on tbe 7th day of March, and Mr. Yeuog's right arm is still banging useless at bis side. When he was informed of my mission he stared in amazement and said, earnestly: "Young man, don't go. It is as much as your life is worth to visit Morehead, for you will be shot down like a dog. Do you really think there is such daugtr!" I asked.

lie made an eloquent gesture with his wounded arm. "I was fired upon from an ambush one evening during a snow-storm," be replied, "and was compelled to leave homo to save my life. My son narrowly es caped the bullet of a desperado two days ago, and most of the prominent citizens bave also had to fly. Several killings bave been done already, and mere may come any min ute." Mr. Yonng is now staying in Mt.

Sterling. thirty miles toward Lexington from tbis lie said that it was as near to More-bead as safety permitted, and that it was temporary home of a Dumber ot other citizeas of Rowan. ON THE TRAIS with him were Mr. Jas. W.

Johnson, Circuit Clerk of Rowan; Dr. "It. L. Kaine, proprie tor of the Cottage Hotel at Morehead, and Mr. Warren Alderson.

the richeet anaa us tbe county. They bad all received warnings, and had deemed it prudeit to get out of the way, at least for a time; they bad accompanied bim to Frankfort aad were returning to Mt. Sterling, whose healthy location they have been finding peculiarly adapted to their constitutions, shattered by Kowan county malaria. Mr. Yonng- talked freely, eloquently and enthusiastically.

The subject was an interesting one, and be bad as attentive listener. When the train reached Lexington he got off, and wbile shaking hands with some acquaintances, ran plump upon Judge and Mat Cleary and Howard Logan, the leaders of the Kepublican factions. Logan spoke to hun civilly, and asked him if he had gone down to have" troopa brought up. Mr. Young declined to answer.

Tbo other said he ashed for information. "If that's tbe case," said Mr. Young, "I did, but I don't think they'll come." Logan then said Young had caused all tha trouble in Rowan. Tbo other said bo bad left expressly to avoid a fuss, and had not been to blame. "You are a liar," was tbe retort.

The lawyer declared that ha was not a fighting man, and wanted ao trouble, retiring to tbe train in a highly excited condition. He said his life bad been threatened ao much that at any time he might be assassinated. At Mt. Stei liug we were met by tbe news that everything was quiet, both tbe Toliver and Cary factions having left Morehead. Dr.

Itaine concluded to return borne, but tbe other exiles preferred remaining in tbe secure Vetreat of Montgomery county. Tbe newa of the truce caused great relief among tbe neighboring towns, and two or three adventurous drummers resolved to visit Morehead. Another was the most disgusted, on the road; he was from Louisville, and waa with Mr. Carlton, of tho Carlton Opera Troupe. They were going to Lexington, and at Farmer station tbe train was boarded by two or three of the Tolivers.

Carlton had an uncorked whisky flaak in bis pistol pocket and pat his band back oa that, wbile tbe drum- iners asked the men what tha devil they wanted with so many guns. Tbe next instant Carlton was covered with a gun, and the commercial men learned what they meant. After begging awhile and throwing the flask out of tbe window, they were un covered, aad it was tba betppiest moment of their lives. The drummer went to Winches ter this morning, but wbea be was asked if be meant to go to Morehead, snorted, witb indignation. '1 shall sell a bill of goods and get back to Louisville on the first train," be declared with emphasis.

The fright had knocked all the chipperness out of bim when the tram reached Morehead. At 8: IO o'clock IHI UTTUt KOCXTAIS TILL AG I seemed almost deserted except at the station. Tbe neat frame bouses were nearly all closed and the town lay under tbe frowning sky and drizzling rain as quietly as if it had not been tho seen of pitched battles for two days. The train was met by a number of mountaineers who asked eagerly for tbo papers and passrd jokes about the fight. They regarded the new corners witbo some reserve, which wore off after a little.

Once started, all talked freely; some expressed tbe hope that there would be no trouble, and all were anxious to know if the troops were coming.1 Gen. Castleman and party had just la it, but there was not much belief that their visit would accomplish permanent good, It did not take me long to gather tba particulars lot tbo feud, though each man inti mated that there ik a world of unwritteu history whicn notuiug cuuid induce bim to Ull. An old citizan, a non-participant, but who begged that hi name be withheld, told mo tbe following: Tho fend dates back, to tbo Sheriff election last August. Cook Humphrey, Republican, and H. B.

Goodman. Democrat, ware candidates. Much drinking waa going on, and. in the' afternoon fcol Bradley was shot and killed in a quarrel between tho twa parties. He was not in the row, but was killed by a stray ballet.

Ha was a farmer aad a married man. Circuit Court commenced io a day or two; John Martin and Floyd Toliver were jointly indioted for tbo murder. They were released oa bail, and a month later met at the Gait House saloon in thia plaee. A quarrel came up, and Martin killed Toliver on the spot. The murderer was arrested and taken to jail at Winchester for safe-keeping.

A forged order waa sent down in a few weeks, and the jailer turned bins ever to Marshal A. M. Bowling, who brought him back, mm be supposed, to an examining trial. At Farmers'. station, eight miles below here, the train waa boarded by a party of masked men, who shot Martin, ia his handcuffs, seven times.

He died next morning. They got off as sickly as they cams. Who they were nobody appeared to be able to find ont, and the February grand jury failed to return a single indictment. The names of Floyd Tollver's avenger have not been whispered to this day. The trouble bad but begun.

On tbe 7th of last month County Attorney Young was returning from some Magistrate's court a few miles ont of Morehead. It was a stormy afternoon, tbe uww falling faat aad furiously. In a hurry to get home, Mr. Young urged bis horse to a gallop, but when about three miles out of town a bullet from a Winchester rifle took him in tbe right arm. He got to town with no further injury, bus received warnings which be obeyed by leaving home and staying.

Ten days later Deputy SberifC Ete wart Bnmgardner waa on bis waj to Hogtown. as liiiotsville is pleasantly denominated. Tho road runs for miles through a deep gorge, on the aides of which, six miles from bare, an armed party. laying in ambush riddled Bnmgardner with bullets, making tbe fourth victim, and hie blood bas hardly yet faded from tbe mountain road. TBIS LAST KILLEro set both factions ia a blaze, and they armed openly.

Firing began here then ex-Sheriff Day was missed by some one who was secreted in a bouse np town. Allie, youngest son of the County Attorney, was treated ia tbe same way, and be too bas fled. The next to folio were Taylor and his young brother, and both are now at Mt Sterling. Many citizens have followed this example, among them being Robert and James NiAel, lames Thompson. Wm.

Trnmbo, Warren, Alderson and James W. Johnson. All are accompanied by their families, and will stay at Mt. Sterling till peace baa been restored. I asked the man why Sheriff Humphrey did not atop the fighting.

"He can't do it, -jand besides ba belongs to the Republican. 'faction. He bas always Dome a good reputation, but it teems that he bas been made a ool by some of the leaders. Deputy Bnmgardner, wbo was killed, Humphrey brought from Elliott county, where he had tbo reputation of being a fighter aad a desperate character. Nobody knew any thing about him, and it was th ought bo waa brought bare expressly to fight for his crowd.

Since bis death Humphrey bas brought a man named Pearc from Greenup, where be is said to bo nnder indictment for murder. He is tho man wbo shot at Allie Yonng, by direction of the). Sheriff, who was heard by a prominent citi- to give tbe order. Humphrey would like to resign, but Jadge Carey and Howard Logan, tha Republican leaders, would not let him give ap tha fight. Wbaa or how is will end only God knows.

A few days ago, D. M. Dillon, a hod -com batant and friend to both parties, waa laws in as Deputy, expressly to make peace. Ha carried messages between th two. factions, and finally all but Logan and Carey promised to shako bands aad bury the trouble.

They said they wouldn't hum hie themeelvaa to any man, and that settled it. Judge Carey keeps tho Gault House, and Wednesday bis gang fortified it and opened tire on too Tolivers. Tha usilade was kept np, off and oa, till yesterday, when Jeff. Bowling met fearce and oa tba street. Bowling is a dangerous young fal low, and demanded to know if tbo Sheriff brought Poarce to kill him, and ha was told no, but suspected fool play and covered them with his revolver.

They retreated, but whan they were 100 yards away opened fire, which he returned. Bullets flew around briskly for a few minates, bat no one was bars. A little while afterwards one of tha Carey boys came around the other faction, but was mads to return by Craig Toliver, their leader. lie said further that tba two parties art about fifteen in number ail ARMED WITH EXPIATING KIIXZS and revolvers. The quarrel has been mad a ami-political one, though there ia no bitterness between tha outside members af tha other party.

Tho Republicans, as Bear as my informant could recall their names, were Sheriff Humphrey, Jim Carey, H. M. Logan, L. D. Logan, Alex.

Bradley, Mas. Carey, Allea Button, Frank Heilman, Richmond Tuasey nod tho man Fearea. Tho Democrats, are led by Craig Toliver aad Jed. Bowling. Their followers are Marion Toliver, John O.

Day aad several others. A good deal of firing was done Ust night, and it is that one man was hart. Tbe Carey and Logan faction withdrew. Judge aud Mat Carey and Howard Logan are said to bo at Frankfort, while their adherents are probably scouting around tha country. Too other party is reported as be ing in- force at Farmers, but at any time either or both may return and tbo Ariag be resumed.

Craig Toliver and Jeff. Bowling came rid iug into town tbis afternoon. Tbe two are typical i mountaineers. Toliver is tall, all bona aad sinew his face amooth-shaven, aad, with a good-humored bat stern expression. Bowling nas a boyish face, bnt stalwart frame, though bo can not bo over twenty- wo.

They wear tha usual garb of mountain. farmers, and bad their pants stuffed in their boots. They talked to me very freely and as coolly aa if tho whole affair was tba commonest thing ia tbo world. Both eaid they were willing to shake hands witb tba othir side if they could be sure of peace. "They are as treacherous as Indians, said Toliver.

When you've got to fight tbievea and man under indictment for murder and every other crime, yon don't know what to expect. We will give a bond of. $20,000 to keep tbo peace if tbo other side will, and we will stick to the Both bad tbeir pockets filled witb SI rail- ber cartridges, which they showed to me in a joking way.

It must bo remembered that tbo two side tell different stories, and I have heard nothing from the Republican faction ara out of town now, and it is to bo hoped they will stay, for if they coma back there will be bloodshed to-night. Mr.

Young told me that bitterness against bim was caueed by bis prosecuting criminals within tbe past few mouths. Last November an old man named Gibson Huhe-i. who lives out in the country, was taken out one night and murdered, altar a.
