IHB REFRIGERATING APPARATUS A SUC
CESS.
WASHINGTON , July 11. The success
achieved by the refrigerating apparatus
insures the uniform temperature of
the sick room and adds another fea
ture to _ the favorable circumstances
surrounding the cose. By moans of a
steam fan , air is blown ever tons of
ice , and the air comes immediately
into the room , and it is possible to re
duce the de
temperature to fifty-four
grees. This morning ii is at seventy-
five degrees , and the doctors have or
dered the engine to run slower , as the
room is cool njwouuh. ; None of the
other appliances will bo used ,
vsiiv IITTIE DANGER FROM SECONDARY
HEMORRHAGE.
WASHINGTON , July 11. The doc
tors are free to say to-day that the
danger from secondary Hemorrhage ,
if not quito past' , is now very slight.
Indeed , only some unforsoon accident
is likely to precipitate that trouble.
The doctors have the very best anti
septic dressing at hand and
the most improved instruments
of all kinds for any emergen
cy. They do not expect pyemia as a
direct result of the wound since the
channel made by the ball is so isolated
by nature as to forofond tiiat complica
tion. The pus corpuscles are too largo
for absorption into the virus , hence
-only an accident will produce trouble
from that quarter. Thus it will bo
seen that the immediate danger of tha
presidents condition is virtually past.
Tlio healing process is progressing as
far as the ureljminary inflammation is
concerned and all the patient needs is

MORE "CRANKS" IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON , July 11. The name
< < cranks" is having a national ventila
tion lately. They are showing up at
the capital promiscuously. The latest
-arrival is Matilda Bascomb ( colored ) ,
who was arrested on the square front
ing the White Housp tris morning.
She had been lumping around the
White House grounds for some time ,
acting strangely and talking wildly.
She was taken to the police headquar
ters , where she declared herself asa
-a warm personal friend of ex-Prosi-
nent Hayes. The latter , she main
tained , was still president. Her busi
ness with him was to collect the in
terest every week on money loaned
Mr. Hayes by her shortly after ho
entered upon liis administration ,
Gen. Garfiold's wound , she claimsj
vas by no moans as represented. It
was only a flesh wound , but the phy
sicians had exaggerated the case to
make political capital. She was Bent
to the insane asylum.
Another of the same kind , Hannah
D. Klungor , came to the police head
quarters and inquired for directions
as to how she could find the attorney'
general. The woman , whonquostion
cd , said that she had been swindled
by lawyers out of all her property in
Bay City , Mich. , and that sno had
name hero to BOO the attorney-general
to * compel him to have it restored ,
.Sho said she know ho would do it
because President Garfield had refused
od to do what was right and had boon
punished and that the same would be
fall officials who would not listen to
the cry of a distressed people.
A letter to President Garfield was
found amongst her baggage , which
contained the clause ; "I kindly ask
you to send seine Christian preachers
to look after the wicked town of' Buy
City , Michigan , and rofdrm its ainful
citizens , The rest of the story was
composed of attacks on Attorney-Gen-
oral McVoagh and President Garfield ,
and threats against them , mixed with
mourning over the sinful lawyers of
Bay City.
A still moro peculiar specimen was
a late caller on the police to-day , This
man was a well-dressed negro and
docs not wish to assassinate anybody.
The tables have been turned in this
case , and the poor negro fears ) that
,1 certain white man named Webb in
tends to assassinate him for express
ing his admiration of the president
y > aud his hopes for his recovery. The
"crank" remarked from his cell : " !
don't want the man to bo hung or
imprisoned , but I merely want to bi
allowed to say what 1 please in regard
to the president without being in dan
ger of my life. "
DR. BLIbV OPINION ON WHERE THK
IJULLETI8.
Tlio physicians in jtho president's
case seem to leave most of the talking
to Dr. Bliss , but they "agree with hin
iu its general aspect and almost ever }
particular. His latest remarks on the
special features of the case havo'beei
in regard to the location of the ball
llo ays tlioro arc now certain indications -
cations which tnnko it probable that
they can rmnovo the ball without dan-
. "At " the doctor
for. present , says ,
"wo doom it prudent to withhold
thqm , but they are such as tu make it
clear that the track of the ball was
rightly stated in the first diagnosis.
Wo know where the ball entered Iho
body. Wo have felt and developed
the course of the ball so far. Where
It wont wo do not definitely know ,
but from the direction of three inches
of the course , which has boon ascer
tained , it is certain that it must hare
llied the liver and probably passed en
tirely through the abdomnal cavity
and it in lodged in the interior wall of
the abdomen. That ia where I think
it it now , in the interior wall of the
abdomen and not in the abdominal
cavity. The ball entering the body
where it did , and passing inward
thrco inches , must of neces
sity pass through a portion
tion of the livor. At that
point of the body the liror lies close
nlongsido of the ribs and a ball could
not penetrate the body at that point
and enter so great a distance ami
atriko the livor. The liver is there
and must have boon hit. Even if the
ball dropped downward aftorwardSt
must have grazed the liver in its
lownward course , but , as I saidj the
ndications of which wo have private
y advised Drs. Agnotv and- Hamilton
> y letter , arc that the ball went
.hrough . tlio liver to the abdomina ) '
cavity and is lodged in the interior
wall of the abdomen , as at first sup-
rased , and it will bo easy , when , the
ime comes , to remove it- from that
mint without danger.
During the afternoon the urcsident
las had considerable fever-but it has
> eon the outgrowth of tho''inflaming
> recess.of heating the preliminaries
if which has boon noticeable for
wonty-four hours , and is consequently
lot of an alarming nature. It had an
ncroasing affect on the pulsation ,
respiration and temperature , but it
vas accompanied by no un-
avorablo symptoms , and caused
no alarm to his physicians.
: t subsided a little towards night und' '
oft no bad traces. This fever was
caused partially by the experiment
under which the president labored
while the cold air apparatus was bo-
nsj brought into his room. Ho notic
ed the noise of the pipes and was an
noyed by it. It was for a long time
hought that it would bo noceasarjr to
; ivo up the whole plan of ventilation
) ut a remedy was discovered and the
irosidont became calm. Dr. Bliss
aid to-night that when ( a patient's
mlso had boon up to 1GG
10 called it a very small
natter to bo worried about the pulse
when it waa 108 , and as to the torn-
poraturo , ho1 should , not bo alarmed
until it roachVd 103 , and then only
unless it was accompanied byvthcr
unfavorable symptoms , such aa fluctu
ations. No changes wcro to bo or-
iccted in the case , and wcro riot to b&
'eared. Dr. Woodward was asked in
regard to the president's outward
symptoms. Ho said : "Wo can tell
letter to-morrow what this increase
neans , if indeed it bo one. Wo are
in hopes it will prove only a local in
crease , " Such , too , proved to > bo the
case. The president fell asleep soon
after the examination , and it was
deemed to bo inadvisable to Wait to
take the temperature. Later , how
ever , if.was taken , and showed
a perceptible decreao. It fell
about three-tenths in half an hour
and the pulsation dropped to 100 in
; ho same time. The conclusion was
; heroforo reached that the increase
lad been temporary and had no seri
ous significance. While this anxiety
was at its heicht the cabinet and
; heir < wives happened to bo at
: ho White House. After the second
iost of temperature they all _ wont
lomo in good spirits and continued
lope. Dr. Woodward's attention was
called to the fact that the pulse of
ho nation fluctuated with that of the
president , as indicated on the bulletins
ind that continued high state of
; omporaturo axd pulse was the occa
sion of much unfavorable comment.

LAID AT REST.
The Obsequies of Senator
Hitchcock Yesterday.
Remains Followed to the Grave
By Many Friends.
The funeral of the late Hon. P. W.
Hitchcock took , place last evening at
live o'clock. The remains , hand
somely encased in a rosewood casket ,
rested in ono of the parlors of the
family residence at Twentieth and
Dodge streets. Religious services
were hold at the house , which was
filled for an hour before the funeral
by many of the best known citizens
of Omaha , and quito a number from
abroad. Aftoran opening prayer by Rov.
W. \ Harsha.'tho anthem , " 0 , Para
dise , " was. rendered by a choir con
sisting of Mrs. M. Latoy , Miss Maul ,
Sir. Frank Smith and Mr. J. L.
Smith. After another brief prayer
Ilov. Mr. Shorrill said that it was
hardly the time nor the occasion for
nn extended address on the lifo and
tublic services of ) the deceased. Other
lands would pen the worda ot eulogy
, nd other lips speak the praises which
vould bo road and hoard over the
whole country. In a community
where Mr. Hitchcock was so well-
mown and respected , with whoso in
orcsta ho had been so prominently
dontified and in a state for whoso
welfare ho had striven so long and so
earnestly any studied address
would bo superfluous. It would
only bo appropriate , said the
speaker , to call attention to a few
of the prominent characteristics of the
deceased. Chief of these was his
practicality. Ho was eminently a
practical man , devoting much time to
work , and little to moro talking. If
10 had boon identified with the church
10 would have boon found among the
workers and not among the talkors.
His strong devotion to friends
was another prominojit trait
of the deceased , but nbovo
all was his strong affection
for homo and family. It was a com
mon remark among his friends that ho
died of a broken heart. The death ol
a wife whom ho loved with tender
affection , and of a daughter of when
lie was proudly fond , had woighet
upon his spirits and seriously impaired
od his healtli % . After referring to Mr
Hitchcock's services to the city am
state , Mr , Shorrill closed with u beau
tiful prayer of consolation. '
After another hymn , "Tho Pity ol
the Lord , " having boon sung by the
choir , benediction was pronounced by
Rov. W. J. Harsha , after which ai
opportunity was given to everybody
to view the remains.
The body rested in a casket , whicl
was placed in the center of the room
The casket was of rosewood , olegantl ,

that his Hovero illness had caused s
little apparent change. After th

Vo thank Thee to-day , Oh ! God and
Bather of all.
Moro still is tlieru in the history of
ho post week to call for our thanks-
iving. What a week of earliest , anx-
DUS , incessant prayer it has boon to
ho ono only Power that can control
and order all things , ' What an oxid
ation it has been of'th6 religion and
ho faith of the nation , in the faca of
ho fact that brilliant blasphemers
vould have us belieVe that the idea of
itn over-ruling God is tast fading from
ho consciousness of mankind. How
nanyhundrods and thousands of men ,
rein the Atlantic to the Pacific , whoso
/oicus are seldom raised in prayer ,
lave in the past week cried out in
heir hearts , if not with their lips , as
hey wont to their work , or walked by
ho way , or sat in the silence of their
saddened homes , "Oh ! God save him
and spara him ; . " thus recognizing in
heir distress an Omnipotence. Bluss-
ng themselves by the very act of sup-
ication and holpnu' in some inscruta-
) lo way that wo tlo not now inider-
tand , to move the very springs of n
livino providence.
For this unmistakable recognition ,
> y a stricken people , of a God above
who can hear and answer our prayers.
We may well bo thankful to-dayi And
lioro is another thought that wo may
commend to the consideration of the
devout and boloiving mind. Was
hero over a man BO prayed for since
, lie world began , or was tlioro over a
rescue from tha very grasp of death seiko
iko a miracle ? Can wo not say here
s an evident and direct answer to
grayer that ought to biing convic
tion to every heart and silence forovo
the cavils of every doubter. For tin
evidence ot the truth of what wo believe
lievo all Christian people should be
thankful.
But perhaps you may say : Suppos
the prosidont'n lifo should not be
spared after all these numcroui
supplications in hla behalf , what be
comes of your theory of the ellicacy ol
prayer ? " Why ! I should ttill cling to
the thought of God's everlasting
righteousness , and hold that the buna
fits that the calamity brought to us al
in the special calling to the front o
the devout traits of our nature ; in th
tlio wonderful display of political an
public trust in God ; in the calinin
down of the wars of parties and fac
tions ; in the still ana silent resolve ;
of an imperiled poojilp for moro elevated
od and patriotic public lifo , were compensations
ponsations sufficient for the few yean
that illicit yet have lonminod of th
lifo of the president. I should stil
hold that in all these ways God hai
answered our prayers in the manner
that was best for us , oven'though ho
still allow the bullet to do a fatal
work.
I believe that God can arrest the
evil efl'ects of tlio man's insanity and
violence in a thousand other ways than
by a visible interposition that would
say :
"Touch not mine anointed and do
my chosen servants no liium , " There
fore , whilst our present prayer is thut
( jed will ruiso uj the president from
his bed of suiioring and grunt him a
longer life among us , wo must not let
go the thought thut even should ho
ordain otherwise , there will bo lessons
of discipline , of warning , of human
brotherhood and loving sympathy of
individual and of national chastening ,
and of elevation in this sad event
that will be of use to us as long as wo
live and as long as the nation lives.
Nor should wo distress ourselves
needlessly as to how wo shall bo able
to bear any disaster , personal or civil ,
that may yet bo in tlio future. Wo
have the gracious promise to rest on :
"As thy day thy strength shall bo. "
You romcmbcr the beautiful
story of Dean Stanley , told him
by a rough spa-faring man : "Ono of
the few survivors of a great wreck ,
which took place a few years ago ,
when a crowded steamship foundered
on tlio stormy waters of the Bay of
Biscay. Aa soon as these who had
escaped from the sinking vessel found ,
themselves in a small boat on
the racing sea. they discovered
that their chief danger came
not from the marine twcop of the
mighty waters , but from the short
and angry waves which dccondcd upon
them from time to time and against
which every eye and hand had t
watch with unabated attention. An
the shades of evening grow on , tlio
sailor said that his heart sank within
him , at the thought that in the dark
ness of the night , it would bo impos
sible to BOO the murderous breakers ,
and that sooner or later the boat ,
would bo engulfed by them. But
with the darkness there came a corresponding
pending safety. Everyone of thos
dangerous wavoa as it rolled toward *
thomwaa crested with phosphorous
light which showed its coming and
enabled the seaman to guard against
it as carefully as if they had been ia
full daylight. The spirits of the little
company revived &s the unlookcd , for
corru&cations guided them through
the night , and m the early dawn they
caught a view of the distant vessel that
at last saved them. "
This crest of phosphorus light on
the top of these breaking billows was
as the light of dtvino grace , the com
pensating power of Providpnco in the
darkness of this mortal night on the
waves of this troublesome world.
The perplexity , the danger and the
grief often brings with it its own re
medy and Its own blessing.
At each bunting wave of disappoint
ment and anxiety there is a crown of
heavenly light , which reveals the past
and shows the way and guides un ,
through the storm. Out of douot
comes faith , out of grief cornea hope ,
and to the desponding there cometh
up hope in daruness. Thus has it over
been to those whoso trust is stayed on
God , and thus it shall bo witli us in
the day of darkness and of sadness.

congregation consisted mostly o
women , many of whom were
killed and wounded. Twenty of
the workmen were instantly killed
and the rest badly wounded. Tim
accident occurred at 5 o'clock and had
it occurred half an hour later , when ,
tlio services which are generally larpo-
ly attended , were being conducted , a >
terrible calamity would have been the
result. Further details are anxiously
awaited.
