THINGS BEGINNING TO AB.HUMK T1IKI11
USUAL SUAl'K.
HINOTON , ! July6. ; The loca } in-
in" 'tho president s Condition ,
though not so intense , is atill keen ,
but other duties are no longer neglec
ted in a desire to hear the latest facts
In the case. There are not moro
than a score of people at the1
White House gates this morning , Most
of these hayo nothing else to do. . Ai
copy of each bulletin is postoahbar thp
zato , and people engaged in the neigh
borhood rush around it on its appearance -
anco and then go back. Bulletins nra
also posted in each department and in
few public places along iiH0
avenue. As the good news con (
tinue to como the hopes of
the people begin to riso. ' No ono fails
to make allowance for all possibilities ,
but the general impression acorns to
bo that the crisis is passed. Thisiidoa
is based , perhaps , on the wish of thoao
who speak-rather than on otiloial reports -
ports ; ; for the doctors in the case are
: arefnl to makd'tio predictions.
A . .GRAPHIC ACCOONT.OP THK-flUOOTING.
* * Dr. Sundorland lastWoning ga'vp a
graphic account of his intGi riew"witli
ihoTroundod president'atr the depot.
The doctor was , passing down Pennsyl
vania avenue at the time of the shoot
ing When ho was told the news ho
ran to'iho depot and was permitted
to talk with the president , < when
10 was taken td the upper room , .
Kneeliftgiby his side Dr. Sundorland
said : ' "Mr. President , you ore the
servant of God ; you nro'm-ins hahda ;
you have long trusted him , and I say
to you , the heart of tliis great people
will go out to God in prayer that you
may bo spared. "
The president calmly replied : "I
know it doctor. I believe in God and
; rust myself in his hands. "
The meetings will bo continued
twice daily during the president's
critical condition.
Secretary Blaine says he rejoices to
say that the president is improving
every minute. Ho has not soon the
president since Saturday , but hears
: rom him almost constantly.
HAYEKS BEING OFFERED IN THE
CHURCHES.
WASHINGTON , July 0. Prayer ser
vices are being held twice each day
at the Vermont avenue church , at 12
noon and 7p. . m. These exercises
iavo boon freely participated in not
only by the members of all Christian
dcmoninat ionsy but by strangers in
; ho city. Among those in attendance
was Revs. Dra. Butler , Sundorland ,
ind Revs. Morrick , Hobba , Scholl ,
Power and others.
VENTILATING THE SICK ROOM.
The physicians are still considcr-
ng the proposed plan of adopting the
'ico process" for the ventilation of
ho president's sick room , in the
event of a long period of convalos-
iciico. It is thought1 the patient's
comfort would bo greatly enhanced by
steady temperature 'in the room
night and day. The advice of. several
of the best physicians in the country
ias boon asked on the sub
ject , and a general consultation
frill bo held betoro any stops are
' .aken. No uncomfortabloncss on the
part of the , patient has prpmpto'd tlia (
movement , 4ho idea1 being merely to
IOBO no possible opportunity to in
crease the advantage the president
now lias over his injury. When the
physicians make the examination
preparatory to the issuance of oflicial .
bulletins , -no ono else is allowed
in thp sick room except * -the
professional nurse. In taking >
the temperature the patient has
not had to bo disturbed'and whenever .
It is necessary to move him ho makes
no complaint. Ho sometimes asks
for the result immediately after the
examination and often expresses his
own opinion. When told this morn ;
ing that his pulse was 90 , ho said :
"That's about normal , isn't it ? "
"Yes , " said ho doctor , and the patient "
Bodmod satisfied.
THH CAW.ERS TO-DAY ,
Among the callers to-day were Sir
Edward Thornton and representa
tives of the French and Austrian leg
islations , and Senator Hen Harrison.
General Sherman called to learn thu
latest iiow.8 and consult in regard to
military aftd police arrangements. The
chief of polioo was also there , II
was decided to pursue the prcaeiit reg
ulations as long as the president's
cpndition remains critical.
AN BNCOUKAaiN.0 yjSATURB.
Ono of the most encouraging 8B 8E
features of the case is the president' ? B
Increasing appetite. After the con
c.Uflion'X ! > f the , last examination ! he
aaid to Dr. Bliss : "Doctor , don'i
"you" , think I could-manage to cat f
Binixll piece of beef steak ? " The doe
tor smiletl and said ho thoughl * no
just at present. The presidents milec
if ho thought ho was hungry enough
to oat anything , but < \ compromise
was cflected by giving him an egg with
* supply of chicken broth.
NOT CONStIEBFl ) ALARMING.
WASHINGTON , July G. The rise in
the president's pulse indicated in the
oflicial bulletin at 12:30 : is by no menns
considered alarming. The great heat
of the day and the necessary moving
about of the patient during the ux-
amination , accounts for the slight increase -
crease in pulsation and temperature.
The following dispatch was sent by
the surgeons to the consulting sur-
gcon :
July G 1 p.
m. Since our telegram of yesterday
the case linn continued to progress
favorably ) The president was < iuito
comfortable during the day and
needed no morphine until bed time
last liigljt. His mind was perfectly
cleat1 but ho obeyed our injunction -
tion to refrain from conycrsa-
Lion. The afternoon exaggeration of
symptoms heretofore observed daily
ilid not occur. On the contrary , a
slight diminution in the "pulso took
placo. By 8:30 : p. m. it was 100
tompcraturo 100 , respiration 24. Dur
ing the aftomoou ho had aoronil
small solid natural evacuations from
the bowels , the first since the acci
dent. i They occurred without pain or
discomfort , and contained no trace of
blood ! During the early evening ,
trom 7 to 10 o'clock ,
lie was troubled occasional
ly by acid eruction , but
on suspending the .administration of
nourishment for a time. , thia symptom
disappeared.
10:30 : p. in Ono quarter of n grain
of morphine was administered , being
; ho only morphine given since our
telegram to you yesterday. Ho slept
vary well during the night , and ox-
) ro83od'hinlsolf as feeling quito com-
'ottatilof ' thcfugh weaker this morning.
At" ! .5:30 : p. m. his pulse was

PHILADELPHIA , July 'C. Dr. j D.
IiCycsfA"gnow in cpnvorsatlorf. with
( reporter to.-day , said ' : , , _ ! think it
safe to say' { hat'tflQ.rpresidont's
chances of 'recovery have undergone
a very/groaymp'rtfvora'ont since yes
terday. " I iioverthought it at alHm-
wssiblo from the naturo'of-tho wound
.liatfKo should recover. , Numbers of
wounds of I the same kind are received
: rom time to " time an'd" perhaps a
majority "of them" " pVoVo jfatal ,
Mt many are Successfully treated and
: here has been no'particular reason
why this should not bo. ' I al ways' ro-
; ardod the soreness of the feet as en-
irely a reflox'incharactoTand ; duo tea
a laceration of the nerves in the Uack.
The subaidonce cannot bo ovor-csti-
mated as a sign in the president's fa
vor. A cessation of vomiting is also
a very important advantage. The
mncipal danger yet to bo approm
londed is from peritonitis , and every
tour that passes improves the prosiM
tent's chance.4 of escaping it. If lie
i over to-night without the ap-
ioaranco of this inflammation lie ought
o recover.
No ono is with the president just
low , 9:31 : p. m , but Mrs. Dr. Edson ,
who will sit up with him until mid-
light. The physicians are within
easy call. The president's symptoms
are unchanged. All the cabinet ofti-
2ers and their ladies called nt the ox-
cutivo mansion about 8 o'clock
ind remained several hours. Most
inf the foreign ministers called in time
o receive n copy of the last oflicial
bulletin and to cable the contents to
heir respective governments. The
Spanish , English and Japanese min
sters ' have called in person sev
eral times during the day. Justice
Jarlan , of the supreme court , and
Colonel Robert Ingorsoll , were also
among the callers in the evening.
? o ono has boon admitted to the
iresidcnt's room except the physicians
ind the nurses. The president lias
) eon dissuaded from talking or dong -
ng anything that would tend to
disturb or excite him. The arrange
ments for reducing the temperature
of the president's room are only tem
porary and will bo replaced in a day
) r two with the most
pproved refrigerating apparatus ,
llioy have proved very satisfactory
n maintaining n latent and uniform
.omporaturo. A telegram haa boon
sent to New York to-night for n pat
ent cooling apparatus , which consists
f porous cloths suspended from a
urbino wheel and moistened in ice
.auks. It is expected to bo ready for
use to-morrow.
TRYING TO LIE OUT OV IT. >
Guitoau denied that after the shoot-
ng ho said , "I am a stalwart and
his makes Arthur president. " Officer
Kearney , who made the arrest , was
asked about the matter and replied :
"If Guiteau says ho did not use the
language , ho speaks a falsehood. " The
oflicor further said that if it was nec
essary ho was would go before a notary
public and take an oath that Guiteau
did UBO the languagoattributcd to him.
DID NOT TRY TO KHOOT ELAINE.
There is abundont evidence fo disprove -
provo the story that has been circulated
latod that after nhooting the prosidenl
Guitoau turned his revolver towart
Secretary Blaine , with the evident
intention of shooting him also , bui
was prevented by Benson , formerly
of the secret service division. The ,
story is denied by Ticket Agents )
Smith and Parko and others , who
saw Guiteau shoot the president. B
They say that Benson instantly j
grasped Guiteau by the throat and
bore him to the ground. Mr. Purko
Bays tlmt Guiteau made no resistenco
whatever toward Secretary Blaine
and further , that no man caught tin
assassin by the throat and bore hin
to the floor. Mr. Smith WAS asked
whether ho sa the revolver turned
toward Blaine "Did not "
, , wns the
reply ; "Tho man paid no.attention
whatever to Secretory Blaino. " "No , "
said Mr. Pnrko , "as soon as ho
had fired the second shot
lie attempted " to pass out.
I saw distinctly Ms every movement. "
Mr. Parker was the first to soiro ( lui-
toau and ho says there was no man of
Bensons description in the Indies'
Vraitinct room at the time of the shoot
ing. Smith confirms this statement.
Thousand of persons have visited tjio
scene of the shooting. The Indies'
waiting room of the Baltimore .1 IV
tomao depot will no doubt bo one of
the places of interest to future visitors
to the capitol , ns is the
medical museum building on > Tenth
street , formerly Ford's theatre , the
scene of the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln. Already speculators
have made offers to purchase the row
of seats on which President Gnrfiold
ont , intending to _ carry them from
city to city on exhibition. All such
oilers have been refused.
VICE-l'RKSIUKNT ARTHUR UEMAI.Ns SE

Vive-l'residcnt Arthur has sent
lovcral messages of inquiry to the
White House to-day utit has not

NOT AT ALL DI8TUR11ED.
The president was not at nil dia-
; urbod by the heavy thunder shower
vhich has just passed over the city.
[ Io lies nwako and notices the mo c-
incut of the clouds. All the present
tymptoms \favorablo for an easy
Guiteau is getting quito used tu the
ways of the fail. Ho cleans up his
cell every morning as neatly to if ho
a practical housekeeper. His
cell is so situated AS to command n
iew of the guards in the rotunda.
Io spends most of the time lying
on his cot , and docs not soein

voll will keep company during the
rest of the night. Drs. Bliss and Roy-

) resident never complains when it bo-
somes neconsary to move him to ex

tists in this operation to the bbst of

WASHINGTON , July ( . 11 ojiortcir
culated to the effect tlmt n lunntio
hnd boon arrested for threatening to
nlioct Secretary Blnino. Gen. Slier-
man on some other great man wns ns
highly exaggerated ns are most sensa
tional stones nt n time liku this.
The stranger nn uncouth Irish tramp
and not u Virginian fanner as was ro-
ported , turned up at police head qiiar
tors of his OH n accord , aaid ho wished
to see the chief police as ho desired to
give him his views on the subject of
Uuiteau accomplices. , He said he had
como all the way from Philadelphia to
ferret out the case , and dive down in
to its true inwardness. Ho was in
such a hurry to gut hero that ho had
walked the entire way and thrown otf
Ins collar to save the weight of extra
baggago.
His name is D.ui. C. McNamara.
Ho says ho isa discharged soldier of the
United States army. Ho has boon
in the insane asylum in California and
latterly in Philadelphia , and that ho
is under the influence of spirits. Ho
is in the habit of haying visions and
trances. The spirit once tried to
urge him to como to Washington to
assassinate Grant when ho was presi
dent , but Grant was his gononu and
lio'could not do it. Ho did , however ,
como to Washington at once , but not
to kill Grant. Ho believes Guiteau in
under the same inlluonco , and ho de
sires to go before the court investigat
ing the case of Guiteau and explain
liow Guitoau was impelled to do the
aot and give his oxnorionco of the
power of spirits. Having told his story
ind eaten a lunch sot before him , ho
was about to start out to hunt up
Gen. Sherman on this assas
sin business when Lieut. EckolhafF
chocked him by calling him back and
tolling him that there was an
important oflicial , that ho would
liavo to consult , belonging to
the firm , whoso name was General
Godding. The oflicor told him that
Godding was to be found at a hand
some hotel across the river where the
government would bo glad to enter
tain him while ho was in the city.
The stranger jumped at this plan and
was almost oblivious to the proceedings
by which ho was jiidicioualycpmmit-
ted to the asylum for the insane ,
whither ho was escorted and settled
down in the full belief that the asy-
lum was a hotel and jhnt Supt. God
ding WAS the oflicial with whom ho
should consult.

SUNDRY ITEMS FROM SIDNEY ,
The Fourth of July at Sidney
Hugely Enjoyed.
Another Dirty Trick Played
by the Union Pacific
Company.
Correspondence of Tim Dim.
SIHNBV , July 4. Sidney has al
ways been noted for having n good
time on the Fourth of July , but BID
outdid herself thin year. The mili
tary of Fort Sidney , the fire depart
ment , juvenile fire brigade , the schools
and citizens mtulo n splendid-appear
im procession over half a mile long.
The Declaration of Independence
was rend by M. Sanders , and n most
masterful oration wan delivered by
W IL Michael , who , when ho can bo
prevailed ! upon to speak , never fails to
distinguish himself. The Sidney glco
club and the Continental brass band
furnished the ; misic , and nil pro
nounced it good. The programme
was ! closed by a fervent prayer for the
nation by llov. Dr. Turner.
The town was thrown into excite
ment by a little boy twelve years of
ago f.xlling under n train of cars at
this point , by which his head was
crushed into an unrecognizable mass.
Ho was the son of a freighter hero
named Thomson. His funeral occur
red to-day.
A tire broke out hero last night at
10 o'clock , which destroyed throe
store houses , unoccupied , belonging :
to II. T. Clark , of Bellevue , Nebras
ka. It was the work of an incendi
ary.

A lady named Abbott , of Lincoln ,
while returning from Now Mexico ,
wliero she has been with her husband ,
stopped off hero last week to bury-
the remains of her infant child , two-
yearn old , which died in her nrm in
the cara between hero and Cheyenne.
The ladies of the town were kind and
sympathetic in caring for the sorrow
stricken lady.
The U. P. company , through their
division superintendent , Bob Law ,
brought to tins place yesterday thirty
men , whom they had caused to bo
arrested on the charge of procuring-
money under false pretenses. The
facts of the coso were that the men
had been recruited ] in St. Louia and.
Now York by an agent of the company
to work on the Denver branch road.
They were promised from $2.25 to & $
a day for this work , and board at $4
per wook. When they got out hero
they wore politely told thatthoyjcould.
liavo 81.75 a day , and that their board
would bo ? 5 per week. The men.
wouldn't 'havo.it' that way , and 're- '
tusod to w6rk. They were arrested
and broughtiiLn car to this place.
Ton of the men the St. Louis lot-
employed W. H. Michael to defend
them. They were acquitted. The
other ' lot were freighters and could
not understand that they needed
counsel. The justice of the peace before -
fore whom they were tried wears the ?
fcU
fcb . P. collar , and when unrestrained
by ; counsel , did the bidding of his
master in the most unblushing man
ner ( , and sent the defenseless men to >
jail for ton days. It was one of the
inostoutragcous judicial performances
ever enacted in Sidney , and is de
nounced by everybody. Men in the
east should bo careful and got a writ
ten contract before they como out
hero to work for a soulless corpora
tion. E. D.
