One company of infantry is now on the
way from Fort. Wingate to McCarty's

The President.
Washington, Aug. 11. In the assem
bly of surgeons this morning at the
White House the feeling may be de
scribed as one of glee. They feel an ab
solute certainty that every gain of the
President hereafter will be firmly held.
When the morning dressing was made
to-day it was found the drainage had
been perfect during the night, all pus
having come away. This left the edges
and walls of the wound collapsed, and
afforded an opportunity for healing
which did not exist previous to the re
cent incision. The surgeons now look
for a speedy ' abatement of afternoon
fevers, and expect they will disappear
entirely before this time next week. It
is safe to say at this hour that since the
President was prostrated there has not
been, among those competent to know,
as great confidence in a speedy conva
lescence. It is believed by several of
ficials that an act will be prepared by
him in the next few days. There is in
the list one pardon which justice de
mands, and an appointment in the navy
department.
. OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
1 Executive Mansion, 4:30 p. m. The
improvement in the President's condi
tion, which became apparent yester
day, continues without interruption.
All the pus secreted by the wound is
now discharged spontaneously every
day. The fact that the quantity is not
so larga as heretofore does not indicate
any is retained, b,nt is rather an evi
dence that suppuration is ceasing.

Water-Sout.
Denver, Aug. 11. Another water
spout occurreu about five o'clock last
evening on the Colorado Central Rail
road, four miles west of Golden. Five
or six bad washouts, extending about a
mile and a half, were the result. Two
hundred men were at work and hope to
have the track clear to-night. No nar
row gauge trains are . running beyond
Golden to-day, but probably will be
running to Central City- to-morrow.

' - Firemen's Tournament.
Colorado Springs, Aug. 11. The
nual State Firemen's Tournament ca
an
éame
to a very satisfactory, termination here
to-day. The only race which took
5 lace was the free for all plug race,
'he prizes were the fMamtou silver
trumpet and fifty dollars in gold of
fered by our citizens. But three teams
were entered in this 'race, the E. J.
Rice team of Trinidad and W. S. Jack
son's and J. M. Sigafus' Hose of this
city. The result was as follows: E. J.
Rice's, time 1 8:0; W. S. Jackson's
time, 3:9; J. M. Sigafus' time, 3:8J.
The thousand feet foot race, which was
declared off, and ' yesterday postponed
until this morning, did not come off, as
none of the men would run the race
over acrain with - Pendererast. There is
much dissatisfaction about the result of
this race among people here, and there
is some talk of raising a purse for Pur-
pie .of t he Black Hawk Hose, who won
the' race fairly and is justly entitled to
the prize. The closing feature of the
tournament was a game of base ball
between the Leadville club and the
Denver & Kio Grande nine of this city.
At the end of the third inning, when
the game was called, on account of the
rain!the score stood 9 to 0 in favor of
thel). &lt. G. club..

retary to general manager Touzalin. of
the 1. & M., bad been appointed mis
sionary to Turkey by the American
missionary society, 1. L. ivimoau, as
sistant general manager Union Pacific,
telephoned J. M. Thurston, one of the
attorneys of the road, to report at head
quarters immediately. Upon his ar
rival Kimball told him to pack his trrin-
sack and sail by the next steamer for
lurkey, remarking that he would be
darned if the B. Ac M. should beat the
Union Pacific on the right of way across
that country; that Touzalin could not
play any of his missionary tafly on him.
JOE HOOBCS DtriX DAT.
How He Carted the Windlas and
Bucket to the Little Plttabnrf.
Mr. Joe Moore, at one time an ex-
Ercssman in Denver, and afterwards in
eadville, was talking with a Tribune
reporter yesterday morning, when two
plainly dressed, stout gentlemen passed.
Said Joe, "Do you know those gentle
men?" "I do not," said the reporter.'
t'Well, I'll tell you about them. In the
early days of Leadville times were very
dull there was no money in circula
tion. I was sitting upon my wagon
one morning, doubtful whether I
should make a dollar that day, when
one of those men came running up to
me, and asked if I wanted to do a job
quickly and do it cheap. ' I replied that
1 did. Anything was better than noth
ing, thougnt I. The gentleman di
rected me to load a small windlass,
some buckets and a rope and follow
him on a run up the hill. He said, 'Be
quick, my man, and I will double your
price.' I thought to myself that fellow
must be crazy or has struck a bonanza.
I hurried up, and at the spot designa
ted I found the two men you have just
seen pass, with their coats off digging a
hole in the ground as if mad. One of
them threw me a nve dollar Dili, with
the remark, 'Never miAd the change;
that is cheap enough.' These two men
were August Riche and Max Hook two
German shoemakers and that hole
thev were digging was the Little Pitts
burg mine. It turned out more wealth
in, a shorter time than any other hole
in the. world, and brought more pros-
Eerity to Colorado with a gush than
ave all other mines combined. Hook
sold his one-quarter interest to his part
ners, Tabor and Ricqe, for an even nun
dred thousand dollars a few days after
ward, and then riche sold his interest
to Jerome B. Chaffee for a hundred
and Sixty thousand dollars, and Chaf
fee and Tabor got three millions for the
clean-up. . How was that for a dull day
in Leadville?" Denver Tribune.
A Puzzling Question.
Washington, Aug. 7. It will probably
be but a short time before the fact that
the President is unable to perform the
duties of the office will be recognized in
spite of the reticence with which the sub
ject has been broached. A department
official, who is in a position to know,
said that although the fact had been
kept from the knowledge of the public,
and it had not been considered discreet
to have the subject discussed on this
point, there was a srreat deal of the
routine business of the government that
had been blocked from this cause, and
could not be finished until the Execu
tive could attend to it. Ihe matter,
however, that will soon call public at
tention to it is believed to be the par
doning power, lhcrc are some sixty
United States District Courts going all
the time, with the liability of frivolous
or unjust consequences, when the only
renci can come nuiu mu mcuumc.
There are, in fact, some men at Fort
Smith, Ark., under .;the death sen
tence, and application has been made
for their reprieve. If it is thought
that it should be granted
after investigation, the question would
arise who is to do it. There is but a
month left, and not much time to be
wasted. There is a case actually in
point in one of the States East where it
has been found that a man was unjustly
condemned and sent to the penitenti
ary. The only way to rectify the blun
der is through the Executive pardon.
It has been promised and recommended
by the authorities, but the President
cannot be troubled with business, and
in the meantime the man is wearing the
garb of a convict until the pardon can
be signed. His name and that of the
State have been suppressed out of re
card for his reputation, that would suf
fer injury through useless publicity.
This case is a source of grave embar
rassment to the Department of Justice.
It is urged by some officials that if the
Vice President was clothed with the
proper power the matter could be ad
justed in a few moments. The objec
tion raised, however, is that it is not
clear upon whom would devolve the
power ot saying that the Constitutional
"inability" exists that would make it
obligatory upon General Arthur to act,
and there is a partisan contingent that
cannot be divorced from the subjeft. It
is also urged by the objectors that while
the Constitution may have provided for
the assumption of political duties by
the Vice President, there is no provis
ion for relieving him again from the ac
tual position 01 President after he has
once taken it. It bids fair to be a puz
zling question, unless relieved by the
President's speedy recovery. Chicago

Roger A. Pryor, the rebel fire-eater,
who Jias been practicing law in New

The Ohio Democratic platform as a
platform is regarded as t'absolutely
perfect" by Harper's Weekly, for the
reason that it is absolutely meaningless.
It declares generally for what nobody
disputes and everybody assents for
justice, equity, honesty, purity, econ
omy and popular education. For some
reason or other it omitted the ten com
mandments; also the eleventh, and over
looked the Lord's prayer. ' But those
are only slight oversights. In all other
respects it is, as Tennyson would say,
"faultlessly faultless, splendidly null,
dead perfection no more."
The Apache.
The Apaches , are making things
lively on the line of the A. & P. R. R.
The Albuquerque Journal published an
extra at 11 p. m. on Wednesday, from
which we glean the following particu
lars of the raid: The Apache hostile
this afternoon burned the town of Gar
cia, ten miles from El Rita, on the At
lantic & Pacific railroad, killing five or
six Mexicans. They are now killing
and burning along their line of march.
It is the Nane band of Apaches. El
Rita is seventy miles west of this city,
on the Atlantic and Pacific road. When
the news was wired to this city Super
intendent F". W. Smith and the officers
of the road armed a party of men and
sent then to the scene of outrages and
murders, and at four o'clock to-morrow
morning Supt. Smith and other officers
will go out on a special train, taking
out other armed men and provisions.
Stirring times are expected on the line
of the A. & P. road to-morrow. An
other party of twenty-five well armed
men, headed by Sheriff Perfecto Ar
mijo, left here at 10 o'clock to-night for
the scene of the disturbance.
The Boston Journal rejoices that the
country is full of activity, which means
full employment and full consumption;
and so long as a natural relation is
maintained between production and
consumption it is not worth while to
make ourselves unhappy over the chat
ter of sensational croakers.
"It is refreshing to see with what en
ergy and interest our business men now
engage in public undertakings," the
Baltimore American remarks. "In the
spirit of co-operations which is begin
ning to manitest itself in trade circles is
to be found the most satisfying assur
ances of our prosperity."
