A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Sheridan Still Holds Out Against
the Crlm Archer's
Assaults.
He is Made Ceneral of the Army
and Signs His
Acceptance-
Sends His Thanks to the Presldont
and Issues His
First Orders.
Washington, June 1. Thebulletin is-
Rticd at 8:45 this lnornin"; says General
Sheridan lias held his own through the
night. There has been no recurring of
imminent danger, but his general condi
lion fatill justifies the gravest anxiety.
So severe was the patient's relapse yes
terday Afternoon that Father Chapelle
was summoned to administer extreme
unction. Only by rniid work was the
crisis tided over. The sick man niiirht
have died at any moment.
. Colonel Shcriilan said the general had
had a comfortable night, and looked
very much improved this morninir. "The
general has had a bad time of it," he re
plied, "but I think he will come out all
right, yet."
At 12 o'clock it was announced that
General Sheridan's condition was practi
cally unchanged.
The bulletin issued at 2:30 pays Sheri
dan's condition shows n material change
since thd issue of the last bulletin. lie
lias been sleeping quietly, at interval.--,
for three hours.
9:30 p. m. The following bulletin has
just been issued: The situation remains
about the same. Throughout the day
General Sheridan's mind has been lucid.
There has been no renewal of yesterday's
attack, though there is but incomplete
recovery from its effects. No new un
favorable symptoms have developed.
The unavoidable excitement connected
with his promotion has had no deleteri
ous cllect whatever. lie lias slept
through the great port of the day.
Colonel Sheridan called on President
Cleveland this afternoon, at the General's
request, to thank him for his nomination
and commission of general of the army,
and to hand him a formal note of thanks
signed by the general's own hand.
12:30 a. m. There has been no appre
ciable change in Sheridan's condition
since the last evening bulletin was issued.
He has coughed but little, has slept most
of the time, and when awake has been
clear in his mind and cheerful.
MADE GENERAL OF THE ARMY.
Washington, June 1. The senate bill
to receive the grade of general of the
army has been signed by the speaker of
the house and sent to the president. The
president signed the bill and sent the
nomination of Philip Sheridan to the sen
ate for that position. On receipt of the
nomination the senate went into execu
tive session and confirmed him.
At 3 this afternoon Senators Ilawley
an 'I Manderson drove up to Geneial Sheri
dan's residence with the commission
which the president had just signed mak
ing him general of the army. Senator
Ilawley handed it to Mrs. Sheridan. Siie
was much moved and exclaimed: "I
know he will get well now."
At 3:45 p. in. General Sheridan sign
ed the following formal acceptance of
his commission as general of the army:
Headquakteks Akmt of the United
State?, Washington, Jnne 1, 1888.
lloiu Secretary of War: bir I have
th lr nor to acknowledge the receipt of
my commission as general of the army, to
which position the president has today
appointed me. I hereby accept the same.

The signature w.i3 written with pencil
in a large and perfectly legible hand.
Soon after the receipt of the commission
Sheridan took the oath of office and di
rected the issuance of the follo'wing or
der, being his ii.st official act m his
capacity as general: .
General Order 37.

rank of colonel, to date from this day:
Major Michael V. Sheridan, assistant
adjutant-general; Captian Stanhope E.

The senate then proceeded to consider
ation of the Indian appropriation bill. A
colloquy took place between Senators
Plumb and B ite in regard to the admin
istration of the office of commissioner of
Indian affairs, the former asserting thst
the condition of the things in Indian
T..mtnnr uro worse now than thev had
time when the trnder so dominated the
Indian, when the Indian was brought so
much in debt by the exactions of the
trader, and when so much liquor was
sold; and that the commissioner had no
experience, was advanced in years, and
was unequal to the pofition, while Mr,
Bite defended the charactcd, ability,
honesty and efficiency of the commission
er, and challenged the senator from Kan
sas to prove his assertions, which Plumb
promised to do.
The bill was finally yossed. Adjourned
Remarkable Reasons for a New
Trial.
UERRYViLi.E, a., Junci. A sensa
tion has leen created here by the net of
the judge of the circuit court here in
granting a new trial to Josiah Locke,who
was convicted of the murder of Wm. It.
Jenkins. The new trial is granted on ac-
co'int or the remarkable statement now
made by Geo. W. Lee, one of the jurors
who convicted Locke. Lee declares that
during the recent trial of Locke he fixed
his eyes upon the younger Locke and
Gertie Zuinbro, the latter a child-witness
for the commonwealth and daughter of
Mrs. Jenkins by her first marriage, and
while watching them he came to the con
elusion that younge Locke was in love
with Gertie and that Jenkins was jealous
of him; that he was not willing to ren
der a verdict on the evening the case was
given to the jury, but that during the
night ho had made up his mind that
Locke was guilty, and in the morning
when he awoke a spirit seemed to say to
him, " justified, justified." He also stat
ed that during the trial a spirit was whis
pering to him, " mercy, mercy."
Supposed Fate of a Little Girl.
Cn arlottk vi r.i.F., Va., June 1. With
in a week ten sheep belonging to Edgar
Ballard were killed in an unaccountable
way and eaten, evidently by some wild
animal. Wednesday he decided to inves
tigate, and Thursday at sundown he saw
a tremendous black bear starting toward
his flock. He fired nt it with small shot.
The bear made off down the road through
the woods. About the same hour B(-n
Shiplett had sent his little girl down to
his neighbor's just a mile and a half
distant, to get some milk. The child
did not reach her destination, and the
evidence leads to the belief that she was
met by the bear and eaten Men have
been searching all day the whole surround
ing country, but without success.
A Small Riot.
Charleston, W. Va., June 2. A spe
cial from Bromwcll, Mercer count3 to
the Daily Gazette says all miners in the
Blue Stone district went out on a strike
yesterday for two weeks pay, and to add
to the excitement a negro was arrested
for disorderly conduct. After the arrest
it was rumored the whites would take
him from the guards and lynch him. At
10 o'clock last night 100 negro miners
marched to the Blue Stone inn, where the
prisoner was under guard, and demanded
hjs release. The guards did not surrender
him, when the mob began firing on the
building with pistols, and a general riot
sued. Several men among the rioters
were shot by members of the mob. The
whites had organized. At a late hour
the mob had dispersed after several had
been arrested. More trouble is expected.
Legal Protection for Working Women.
The Worklncr Women's Protective un
ion, which has its office in Clinton place,
was organized twenty-five years ago. It
was named before the word "union"
meant what it does now, and is, therefore.
In some decree misleading. It is not a
union In the sense of being a labor organ
ization omcered and directed by working
people, but it is a society of thoso who
recognize that working women need some
thing they do not get, a society of helpful
men and women, who by their influence.
old and capital protect their more frail
and hard working sisters against over
bearing and brutal employers. By mak
ing a complaint at the offices of the organ
ization, working women, with the excep
tion of those in household service, have
their wrongs inquired into and their rights
procured even if the law has to claim them.
Statistics show that over ll.uuo appli
cations for help have been made during
the last year, and claims upon unprinci
pled employers, even to the small sum of
ft, have been wrung out of them by
means of the law. These things are ac
complished without cost to the applicant.
Lawyers end directors give tneir services
to the cause, but there are many expenses
connected with the organization which
reach the sum of $3,000 a year. This is
subscribed for in small amounts. Ten
dollars makes the donor a member for one
year. The payment of $50 during any
one year makes the subscriber a member
for life. It hardly seems credible that
ladies In society, who live luxuriously.
drive out daily in their own carriages, and
have attendant at their beck and call to
gratify every whim, can be oppressors to
their own sex, but this has been proven
over and over again by the books of tho
society and ine actions or tne lawyers.
These very women, perhaps only from
thoughtlessness, certainly from careless
ness, u not a more ungenerous spirit,
turn away, or cause to be turned away,
the hard worked seamstress or the tired
out dressmaker with her bill unpaid.

New ArteHiait Well at Paris.
Tho artesian well of Place Ilebcrt, at
Paris, has just been finished, after twenty
two years' work on It. It was necessary
to bore to a depth of 2.CC0 feet to reach
water, and such depth was attained only
with tho greatest difficulty. The work
had to be stopped several times, either on
account of the hardness of the strata tra
versed or of tho crushing of the metallic
tubing caused by tho pressure of the
eartli. Tho new well is tho third of tho
public wells of Paris, tho others being
thoso of (J re nolle and Passy. Its diameter
is 5 feet and tho weight of tho tubing
vbot:t b80,0OU pounds. The temperature
of tho water that it furnishes is :!.! degs.
Tho cost of this important undertaking
was $.00.000. Scientific American.
