dent this morning for the first time in

much pleased with the progress of the
case and said the wound was in good

freely and frankly for the first'timo
since ho has boon in attendance. Ho
says : "Tho president is doing nicely.
I am most decidedly of the opinion
that ho will recover. The doctor remains

guest until Sunday , when Agnew ro-

WILD JtUMOTM.
\VASHINOTON , D. 0. , August 4.
The fnct that the president's physi
cians considered his progress towarc
convalescence so well established ns to
discontinue the issuance of the noon
bulletins seems to have furnished n
pretext for wild rumors abroad. There
won little of the kind here but telegrams -
grams were continually received during -
ing the day by private parties and
others in New York to thu effect that
private information from the 'White
House wont to show that thu presi
dent wasx worse' again. Those- who
have boon spending most of the time
at the .White House know at once
that there was no truth in these re
ports. The physicians were exceed
ingly vexed. They hastened to disa
busc the public of the idea that there
could bo no official donml of the false
rumors. ,
The fact is the president has bo'cn
doing fully ns well to-day as any day
sinca the , shooting. There has not
been the slightest unfavorable synip
torn , and hohas been slowly and stead
ily gaining. There has been some com
s\ mcnt by outside surgeons on the fa&
that the president's' pulse nnd tem
perature nnvo not been reduced to a
normal condition. The attending phy
sicians say thu maintenance of those
symptoms above normal is naturally
to be expected. They nro kept up
they sny , by the circulation to which the
president is naturally subjected. His
improvement since Monday has been
marked and satisfactory , nnd the
symptoms this morning wcro very
good. Ho is now taking moro thai
the usual amount of nourishment , in
eluding steaks , milk toast saturated
with beef juice , potatoes and a little
coffee. His strength is increasing
daily , and ho is now nblo to di
moro in the way of turning himsol :
and helping others to raise his body
thun the surgeons think it prudent to
allow. Ho remained in a raised posi
tion nine hours to-day. Ho is reap
ing great benefit from his change ,
particularly as the heart has a frooi
action.
THURSDAY'S BULLETINS.
KXECCTIVB MANSILN , August 4
8:30 : a. m. The president continues
to improve. Ho slept well during the
night , and'this morning looks , and ex
presses himself cheerfully. Another
satisfactory day is anticipated. Al
present his pulse is 00 , temperature
turo 98 4-10 nnd respiration 18.
The next bulletin will bo issued this
evening , and hereafter the noon
bulletin will bo dispensed with.

As the morning bulletin indicatec

WAHHi.NQTok , August 4. Bliss
authorizes the statement that the
president wa bettor at 2 p. in , to-day
in every respect than nt the same
liour on any day since the phootiug.
Tlio president's tongue hua n cleaner
look and his appetite for sound food
ia increasing.
' Do you think him out of dancer ! "
was naked.
"I think ho will got well , but don't
consider him out of danger. "
"Is there not n general improve
monU"
"Yes , indeed ho grown bolter
every day. Ho is getting along about
aa fast as ho was yesterday nnd is
bettor. "
DR. UAMIliON CONFIDENT.
The plain language of Dr. Haiuil
ton to-day has had n remarkable roas
BUring effect , Vfhon. risked how the
patient was , ho replied :
"Oh , ho is doing verr nicely , and ho
will recover. "
"Docs ho , loolc any bettor than when
yon last saw him ? "
"Yes , ha looka hotter , but there has
boon no particular change in hia con
dition. His faco.will hardly regain n
natural appearance until ho gets out
of doors.
"When will that bo ? "
"That is a matter of . .conjecture as
yet , but it will not be" ft Ibng time be
fore he will bo nble to boar removal. "
"Then you think.hc will get well ? "
continued the inquirer.
"I hove no doubt of it.1
Dr. Hamilton said there was no
truth in the story that the president
was nfiectcd by .malaria. He was
asked if the stories as to to the.ro be
ing so much malarial .sickness in the
house wore true. Ho said in a posi
tive manner that there was no mala
ria in the president's symptoms.
When asked about the wound , Dr.
Hamilton said : " "It is in a very good
condition and looks very well. "
"Is it healing in jcmote portions ? "
"That I can't'say. NVo don't know
that it is healing these without abettor
knowlcdgeiof a'dcopor portion of the
wound than wo now have. Wo can't
say that it is'healinR ' there. "
"Aro there any signs that the ball
is incisting or not ? ' '
" , ! can't say as to thai. We donH
know" whether it is or not. " _
DU. 1UYBUR.V.
"Dc. Ilaybum * ' stn&d-4 ono of .Ihd
reasons for dispensing uith the noot :
bulletin was because they could no !
find a now expression. He had noth
ing to say but that ho was slowly im
proving. Ho said the wound was dis
charging healthy pus freely and gran
ulating rapidly. The probabilities
are that the ball is becoming oncist-
od. Anyhow they had 110 apprehen
sions of any immediate trouble on
that score.

Quietly on the heels of lost night's
murder nt the Gorman park , follows
another tragedy , which occurred at
G:30 : this p. in. , resulting in the death
of two brothers named Carney , both
from Cincinnati. Those two men
whoso names are John nnd Thomas ,
nged respectively twenty-five nnU
twenty , behaved in a very ubusivo and
threatening manner to wards thu driver
of a Pennsylvania car , upon which
they rodu towards the > Exposition
building.
When they reached the und of the
line they romaidcdin the car and con
tinued the use of violent langungo und
said they wanted to thrash the driver ,
who , according to the stntcniunts of
persons who were near enough to hear
what transpired , kept his temper until
they threatened violence ; finding ,
Jiowever , that the two men.wero like
ly to get the better of him , und bo-
hoving that their object was to rob
the money box of thu car. ho draw
his pistol on them nnd fired four
times. John Carneyuis killed in
stantly by u shot which , entering un
der the chin , toro luwiy a great part
of his skull , and his brother received
n fatal shot in the breast , from which
hu died about an hour afterwards.
The driver's nanio is Wrn. H , Col
lier. He bears n good character , and
is generally exculpated by all thu
witnesses of thu occurronco.
John Carney , just before hu died ,
said : "If I had had a chance I could
have whipped that man , but I don't
want him to bu blamed for killing me.
Hous not to blame. "
The Curneys hnvu boon employed as
hostlers in several stables in this city ,
and John has been hero about seven
years. Thu other came hero lust

TURNING TO ACCOUNT
The Shortcomings of Monte
to Benefit the School Fund.
The fines collected in the police
court for n month in nil the putty
cases that come buforo it will average
about ? U50. This money is now
turned into the county school fund.
Previous to Judge Beneko's term the
money wont into thu city school fund
hut ns hu construes thu law the coun
ty fund is thu proper place for it , nnd
consequently it goes there , Of those
arrested for dunkonness probably less
than forty per cent on thu nvurngu ,
pay thu $10 nnd costs imposed under
the provisions of the Slooumb law.
After a pay-day a good many nro
found nblu to pay up , but nt other
times there nro renmrkubly few , A
rather peculiar fact in this connection
is the few peoplu living in Omaha
who are arrested for drunkenness.
About ninety per cunt , of those- ar
rested lor being drunk comu from
outside the city. Whether the small
number of Oiimhu peoplu arrested for
thu offense is duu to the fact that little

that everybody hero knows and re
spects thu law , uru problems , but the
fact that fuw OmaJin peoplu nro caught

MR. DREXEL'S VIEWS.
What Ho Hoa to Say About
the Now Court Houso.
In conversation yesterday morning
County Commisiionor Drexel told a
reporter that the old plan for the pro
posed county court house if carried
out , could not cost les * than $200OCO
nt the present rate of labor and price
of materials. It would take some
time yet , ho said , for the architect to
so modify his plans as to
meet the requirements of the
cheaper building nnd of course until
tliesoero received no moro bid *
could bo advertised for. When the
) ! ansero made originally it had been
calculated by the architect that the
building could bo erected uncording
o thorn at n cost of 8150,000. Mnny
icople , thu commissioner said , had
ookcn to him nbout the matter nt thu
imotho bonds were being voted. They
aid they were in favor of voting the
xiiuln provided they would cover all ox-
> ensos attached to putting up the
> uilding , but they wcro nfraid they
wouhl not. "I pledged my honor to >
thorn , " said Mr. Drexel , "that the
cost would not exceed that amount.
few the chances are that it will , be
cause of the increased coat of labor

SORROWFUL SIGHT.
A Poor Girl's Shntno and Consequent -
sequent SuiToring.
A chilling picture of desolation and
misery was witnessed at the court ,
louse yesterday. A young and
iretty girl , scarcely out of her teens ,
dressed with an unusual display of
taste , walked into the county clork'a
oflico nnd inquired for ono of the
commissioners. She mot Mr. Drexel
to whom she gave the merest
outline of n story of trusting
confidence nnd guilessncsi on her part
and base deception on the part of %
malu scoundrel. Shu told her pitiful
story with much hesitation nnd every
evidence of , how keenly aho felt hoc-
position and concluded by asking fop
nn order adiuiVting her to the county
poor house. The commUuioner on-
dcnvored with Ml tlio tnot , at MS.c.om.r
nioid tv , diHcov r , UjQ hhind
of the man but aho refused
to ' indicnto it in the remotest
way * She claimed that her parents
were < Uwl nnd that she originally
came hero from lown , but it could bo
seen that her only ondoayor wns to
shield her relatives from whatever-
sliamu attached to her offense. The
ommissionor made out the order nnd
the poor girl started on her journey ,
ono of the saddest pictures of uncom
plaining misery soon there for many n.
day.
Should Bo Stopped.
The city marshal nnd chief engineer
will hereafter strictly enforce the ordi
nance ngninst parties burning piles of
paper in tin streets. Should n high
wind spring up when such blazes nro
in progress great damage might result ;
to property. Every night there nra
two or throe such bonfires in progress
in different portions of thu city , and
complaints have been made in regard ,
to them. They nro by no means an
evidence that Omaha has reached tha
metropolitan level.
