The Wounded President.
GROWING WORSE.
Elberon, Sept. 10. At the examina
tion of the President at 8:30 this morn
ing his temperature was 1)8. 6, pulse 104,
respirations 12. The febrile rise during
the night was not as pronounced as it
usually has been. There has, at times,
been considerable acceleration of pulse.
He, however, slept comparatively well,
and look stimulants and nourishment
as directed. The cough was somewhat
more troublesome during the first part
of the night, and expectorations were
rather more purulent. The discharge
from the wounds was less abundant
and not quite as healthy in appearance.
His pulse, however, has more volume,
and his general condition does not
seem to have materially changed in any
respect.
Signed, ' I). W. Bliss,
F. H. Hamilton.
GRAVE ANXIETY.
The situation this morning is less fa
vorable, and grave anxiety is expressed
as to whether the President will be able
to overcome the results of his extreme
debility. Bed sores have again made
their appearance, and the discharge
from the wound is very unsatisfactory.
While there are .no new complica
tions in the President's case, his gene
ral condition indicates that he has not
made any gain during the past forty
eight hours, in fact there has been a
slight falling off. The wound has as
sumed a more unhealthy appearance,
and the discharge has been growing
more unsatisfactory since yesterday
morning. Small bed sores have again
made their appearance. Dr. Boynton
says he still hopes the president will be
able to-pull through. His mind has
been somewhat disturbed during the
day as well as during the night, and
there is still a continuance of suppura
tion of the parotid gland. On the
whole, the situation is one of anxiety
The surgeons and attendants, however,
express themselves in hopetul terms
CONTRADICTORY.
Col. Rockwell, one of the President's
attendants, is authority tor the state
ment that perspiration, which has been
one of the annoying features of the
President's case, has reappeared. Cols
Rockwell and Swaim entertained a dif
ferent opinion, and declare it has not
reappeared.
It is reliably asserted that the Presi
dent's pulse reached 130 during the
night, notwithstanding the fact that the
febrile rise was not so pronounced as
usual.
MACVEAGll's LINGERING HOPE.
The President's condition at this hour
is unchanged. MacVeagh considers the
ease as warranting extreme anxiety,
but maintains that while there is no
particular point which can be said to
have developed to an alarming extent,
the general condition, which includes
the extreme debility of the patient, is
necessarily one of grave apprehension.
Dr. Bliss says there was a slight
febrile rise commencing at 11 a. m.,
which continued until near 12 o'clock.
OPINION OF THE "LANCET."
London, Sept. 10. The Lancet says:
"The reason of the trouble with Presi
dent Garfield's lungs is their hypostatic
condition and congestion of their bases
because of depressed respiration arising
from long recumbency. Sitting up will
probably give much relief; but until all
signs of affection of the lungs have dis
appeared, the hopeful prognostic con
stantly oabled here is not well founded,
although it may prove a lucky guess."
NOON EXAMINATION.
At the noon examination the patient's
pulse was 114, temperature 89.0, respir
ation 21. At this hour his pulse is 108
and temperature not much above nor
mal. The patient was not placed in
his chair to-day on account of the febrile
rise.
New York, Sept. 16. Specials from
Long Branch are of a gloomy character
and express the belief that another
crisis in the President's case is near at
hand.
OFFICIAL BULLETIN.
'Elberon, Sept. 16 6:30 p. m. At the
examination of the President at 1:20 to
day, his temperature was 98.8, pulse 116,
respiration 21. At the evening dressing
his temperature was 98.6, pulse 104, res
piration 22. The slight febrile rise which
occurred at 11 a. m.. had entirely sub
sided at noon. The condition of the
wound remains unchanged. His cough
has not been so frequent or persistent
but the sputa still remains purulent.
Nourishment and stimulants have been
fiven in increased quantities without
iscomfort. Altogether his general con
dition cannot be said to bo improved.
Signed, 1). W. Bliss,
F. H. Hamilton,
D. II. Agnew.
ONE LITTLE RAY OF HOPE.
Elberon, Sept. 16. Dr. Boynton says.
"The President is suffering from the
effect of blood poisoning and it is de
cided and apprehensive. I hope he
will overcome the extreme loss of
strength and rally, but it is a question
whether he will. I see a very gradual
but sure descent in his case. He has
his tips and downs, his bright days and
dull days, but looking back iind follow
ing the case to the present, I have been
discouraged, but nave not lost hope
and will not, as I think he is going to
pull through, but it will be a tedious
and wearisome work for him. The
wound has commenced to look less fa
vorably yesterday morning, and has
grown worse ever since. The discharge
is thin and watery. He is extremely
weak, but there are no complications
with the exception of the appearance
of bed sores. I do not think the patient
would be able, in his present debilitated
condition, to undergo another compli
cation such as he has already encoun
tered. MACVEAGH TO LOWELL.
Elberon, Sept. 10. There has been no
very marked change in the President's
condition, but it is not at this hour re
assuring. The different symptoms are
almost all slightly aggravated. His
temperature and pulse have fluctuated
more than usual, and respiration was
rather more frequent, while the charac
ter of discharges continue to bo unsat
isfactory. There is therefore a sensible
increase of anxiety.
Signed, MacVeaoh.
Cols. Swaim and Rockwell think the
President will rally,
Sew Railroad for New Mexico.
Denver, Sept. 10. The Republican
says: Don Miguel A. Otero, of Las Ve
gas, is in the city. In course of conver
sation with a reporter he admitecd that
he had come here at the invitation of
Gov. Evans, and that they had done
considerable talking about the con
struction of a railroad and telegraph
line from the southern line of Colorado
to Socorro, N. M. The project has al
ready been considered by New Mexican
capitalists, and Evans is desirous of
utilizing it as a connection of the Den
ver & New Orleans. No organization
has yet been formed, but Otero pre
sumed that articles of incorporation
would be prepared soon after his return
to Las V egas next week.
The name of the organization will
probably be the Denver, Lai Vegas and
socorro Railroad Company. Ihe
amount of capital is not yet decided
upon. Otero expected a connection to
be made with the road recently incor
porated to build a line from Socorro
southwest along the Black Range,
through the , Mogollón district, along
the Gila River to lucson, thence .to
some port south of Guaymas on the
Gulf ol California. JNo alliance has yet
been made with the Denver & New Or
leans Road, but he expected great
things from the New Mexican scheme
in any event.
Know Storm in Ionn.
Chicago, Sept. 16. Reports received
from Crestón, Iowa, say a storm of
snow has been prevalent there since
morning, and quite a general storm is
reported in Southern Minnesota. Noth
ing confirmatory has been received,
but the report is believed to be cor
rect. Des Moines, Sept. 10. Snow fell be
tween Atlantic and this city to-day in
such amount that the Rock Island train
men made a large snow ball, which
they left here. A cold rain fell here.
It has been unusually cold for several
days in this vicinity, ihe thermometer
never going higher than 58 and drop-
1inor to 41. Snow fell all along the
lock Island, between DeSoto and
some point in Nebraska. The snow is
two inches in depth at Omaha. The
tops of cars on the Rock Island on ar
riving here this afternoon were covered
with snow, and the brakemen were
snow-balling.
ivicijrregor, la., oept. lo. A snow
storm has prevailed all day in North
western Iowa, coming from a north
westerly direction, and reaching as far
east as Algonia, Kossuth County, Iowa.
At the latter point it fell to a depth of
four inches.
Desperate Atti-int at Escupe.
San Francisco, Sept. 16.- A Portland
dispatch says : This morning Edward
Mordaunt, an escaped convict, who it
was supposed leaped overboard from
the steamer Columbia below Astoria,
was found stowed away in the vessel
Mordaunt, on being discovered, leaped
into the river and attempted to swim
ashore, but was seized with cramps, and
shouting for help was rescued and
brought on board, when it was found
that lie had broken his shackles. He
was sent to the penitentiary at Salem
to-day.
Short Potato Crop.
Washington, Sept. 10. Reports to the
Department of Agriculture show the
general average condition of the potato
crop on September 1st was 70 per cent.,
wnicu is a decline oí 3 per cent, since
August 1st. Condition last September
90 per cent. Severo and protracted
drought is the chief cause of the unfa
vorable outlook, though there are se
rious complaints in localities of insect
injuries.
Denver Bmees.
Denver, Sept. 16. There was an im
mense crowd at the Fair Grounds to
day. It is estimated that from 6,000 to
8,000 people were present.
EQUESTRIENNES CONTEST.
The six mile equestrienne contest was
the first that was called. Each rider in
this race was allowed three horses.. The
entries were Miss Davis, Miss Dickson,
and Mrs. Renniker. A good send-off
was secured, and Miss Dickson took the
lead, retaining it for nearly two miles,
when Miss Davis went to the front.
Mrs. Renniker was unfortunate in her
horses, and gradually fell behind, hard
ly figuring in the race. The race was
close Detween Misses uavis and uick
son, the two alternating in the lead.
On the 11th half mile Miss Dickson took
the lead, and retained it to the finish,
coming in a hundred yards in advance.
Mrs. Renniker was over a half mile in
the rear. Time Dickson, 12:54: Davis,
13:01; Renniker, 14:20.

M. C. Wilbur, the driver, became en
tangled in the harness and was dragged
some thirty feet when he became dis
engaged, being unhurt. Ihe horse
kept running with the sulky striking
his heels. At the first turn he collided
with the sulky of Echo, knocking a
wheel off the latter sulky. He kept on,
ridding himself of the buggy, and after
twice running around the track, went
out among the buggies on the outside,
nearly jumping a fence. He' was finally
caught, and to the surprise of all was
unhurt. This caused delay in the race,
during which the pacing race was
called! The following were the entries:
Sucker State, Duster and Mountain
Maid. Duster won the first, third and
fourth heats, Sucker State winning the
second money. Time, 2:35$, 2:40, 2:35$.
Mining: Mock market.
New York, Sept. 16. The mining as
sociated press reports that there is
much greater activity in mining stocks
than tor some time, and fluctuations
have been frequent, though in most
cases not wide. Comstocks have been
very strong in sympathy with the San
Francisco market, but much doubt is
expressed here concerning a continu
ance ot the boom. Little stock was
taken by old operators in reported
strikes in Siera Nevada. Mining stocks
in general, outside of Comstocks, are
considered low, and indications point to
higher prices in the future. The new
water pipe for the State Line mines has
been shipped, and the completion of
the pipe line is anxiously awaited, as an
advance is then expected. Leadville
stocks are coming to the front again,
and show a marked improvement.
Chrysolite is leading the advance, and
sold up to-day at $750. Bullion receipts
in New York for the week from the
mines, were $31)8,204. Sales of mining
stock at both exchanges were about
800,000 shares.
