N , " July 18. This has
been anothorone1 of the president's
best days , for each one seems to bean
an improvement on the last. The fe
ver has subsided and the soreness and
stillness is disappearing. The presi
dent is slowly' gaining strength ,
and , is allowed to talk nnd eat IIH he
pleases and the , doctors are strictly
satisfied with the improvement.
TKELS LIKE A NKW MAN.
The president has slept a good part
of the day ahd. ii Iiiuch improved. A
barber was called in tliis morning to
brush him up a little , trim his beard ,
.tc. , nnd the president says ho feels
like a now man. Ho was" made gladrj
by the r6ce1p JiOf a'telegram from Men
tor this morning informing him of the
improved condition of his mother ,
whoso sickness was announced ycstor-
STILL THEY COME.
Letters and "telegrams conveying
expressions of sympathy and con
gratulation continue to bo received at
the White House.
SO.MK NEW Al'l'AllATUS.
The doctors , however , are losing no
chaiico to make him comfortable , and
to this end are having arranged an
apparatus for raising the patient. It
consists of : two upright pieces of
frame work , ono attached to the head-
hoard and the othcr-'io the foot board
of the bed. LighE" pieces of s'ats ,
something Ifko the side railings
' '
of a bed conduct thcso
uprights and two pieces of heavy
cloth are so arranged that ono can bo
slipped under the patient from the
head and the other from the feet , com
ing just near enough together not to
bear on the wound , sllicn , .by the
use of a lever , the patient is raised
from the bed on a ( .heavy cloth , when
the wound is V& ircsscd. - > ttho
bedclothes are changed , etc.
Hy this means , the president is raised
without that jerking that can't bo
avoided when done in the old way.
He is now railed by six men lifting a
sheet , and it always causes him moro
or less pain. It is expected that the
new apparatus will bo ready for use
to-morrow morning. Tlio people scorn
to feel deeply interested in this mix-
chine.

jubilee and thanksgiving upon thu
recovery of President Garfield had
been received by the governor of every
state and territory except Texas , and
heartily endorsed thu suggestion.

again transmitted and thu following j
response was received :
AUSTIN , Tex. , July 18 , 1881. To ®
Governor Foster ; My failure
answer you favorably is not an ac
count of any want of sympathy for
the president , but because I don't
deem it consistent with my position
ns governor , to issue n proclamation
directing religious services where the
church and state are and ought to bo
kept separate in their ftinct'ons. 1
doubt not the people of Texas have
as strongly wished , and will as de
voutly pray for the recovery of the
president as any people in the United

A reporter boarded her at Harlem
; ; Uion and learned full particulars of
le horrible robbery and murder from
Ir. George Tindall , ox-mayor of
'renton , andGoorgo . Temple , also
f Trenton , who were passengers on
"
10 incoming train.
The robbers six in number , boarded
10 train quietly at Cameron , twenty
liles this side of Winston. At Win-
.011 the train was stopped and just at
nit time a mil black-whiskered man
uddonly arose in his scat in the
ccond car from the express car , and
eavoiug two revolvers at Conductor
Vcstfall , who was just entering the
oor of the coach , cried "hold up
our hands ! " The conductor seemed
o have turned at that instant , for
no of the revolvers was discharged ,
ml the kill entered his back , tiono-
rating his body , mssing through the
teart and killing him instantly ,
At the same moment another of the
obbors fired , and the bullet ponotrat-
d the forehead of a stone cutter from
Wilton Junction , la. , who was a pas-
cnger , on his way homo. Both the I
conductor and the passenger fell dead BQ
nstantly. The conductor staggered
hrough the open door and fell elF the
ilatform near the track. A brakeman of
vho saw the conductor fall , hastened
o pick him up , but ho was dead. ot
The robbers scattered through the
rain ; and began firing promiscuously

.ho coaches , and into the lh > or , to in-
imidato the passongora , but fortu-
lately no one else was killed or wounded

: aped from the cur , but the inoflsengor

and that tlwy would never got that.
Cno ) of the dcsiMiradoes hurled him
down , and kneeling over him with a
revolver pressed against Jus temple ,
compello 1 him to unlock the safe. It
was impossible to ascertain the exact
amount in the safe , but it was nt least
$5,000 , and some of the train men
averred that the sum must huvo boon
fully J1B ? , 00.
The two men ou the express car
then ordered Kd. Walcutt , the engi
neer , to "pull out. " Dut xs the auto
matic brakes were on ho could not do
this , and at this thev began firing at
him and the firouian , Tom Sugga. The
frightened engincerand fireman quick
ly put out tlm lights in the cab , and ,
crawling out on the pilot , put out the
headlight , and then ensconced them f
selves , in uwo and terror , on the pilot ,
powerlesa to defend themselves or the
train , Ixilng unarmed.
Tin ! robbers loft the train ossudden-
ly aa they hiul made their appearance ,
and , as the train moved out , began
firing at the cars and through the windows
dews ono of the boldest and most
devilish proceedings over committed
by robbers of that class.
No. ! J reached the station at about
11 o'clock and picked up the murdered
conductor and took him to Cameron ,
where an inquest will bo hold. An-
soon an the inhabitants ot the vicinity
heard of the dreadful outrage , many
of them turned out armed with shot
guns and rifles to hunt down the mis
creants , The police in this city were
ordered to keep a sharp look-out for
thoui , but tlio only tnah whoso descrip
tion they have , and in fact the only
ono of the band whom any ono could
furnish n description of , was the mys
terious black bearded man , the leader
of the gang.
George Tindall , another passenger
on No. ! 1 , pave the following grapnic
account , dill'ering slightly from some
of the others :
I heard the shooting and saw the
headlight of the engine go out. The
robbers got on the train at Cameron ,
and aat quietly until it passed through
Winston. Just beyond that place is
a troatlo work , and hero the train
slowed up. Then a largo man , , with a
full black board of about two weeks'
growth , rose out of his scat and1 cum *
jnenced a promiscuous firing. Hi ) wn.'t
in tlio smoking car , in the front end.
The conductor was passing out of the
rear door when ono shot struck him in
the back. Ho siaggorert out on the
plat form , and fell oil'tho car. Abtho
name time firing was going on in the
ladies' car , and it was hero the stone
cutter , John McCullough , was killed.
I think tlio shooting was tlono to in-
tinndato the passengers and not with
the intention of killing anyone. The
robbers ordered u brakeman , Harry
Thomas , to pull the rope and start
the train , but the engineer , Ed. Wal-
outt , refused to obey and put'on the
air brakes. Tl o robbers proceeded to >
the baggage car , or part of them did , ,
and ordering the baggage man out ,
clubbed thu expressman , Chas. Mur
ray , knocking him down twice. Ho
did not know whether they hit him
with their pistols or not. Any way ,
ho had a bad gash across his foro.
head.
The robbers , securing their booty ,
$5000 that is positively known of ,
quietly left the train. The passon-
sonuors Were the worst scared lot of
follows I over saw. Wo brought the
body of the dead conductor back to >
Camdcn with us. Ho was an excel
lent man. T have known him person
ally for many years.
Altogether the robbery was ono oC
the most daring over perpetrated , and
at the same time human life was most
recklessly disregarded.
