Wasuineton, Dec Not since the July day of 1881, when President James A. Garfield tossed on his bed of pain in the west chamber in the White house, has there been such a display of inter- est in the nation’s capital in the condi- tion of a sick man as has manifested itself with regard to the condition of Mr. Blaine. In the homes, the hotels, the clubs and in the streets his critical con- dition has been and is the engrossing topic of conversation and following a general impulse the promenaders bend their footsteps in the direction of Mad- ison place. This intense interest is due to the fact, acknowledged by his family and the physicians, that for several hours yes- terday Mr. Blaine’s life was on the very verge of dissolution and that for more than an hour in the forenoon hope was ebandoned by everyone and the family | Loomis, the leading specialist in New assembled expecting the end at any moment. The distinguished American has, it is now acknowledged, long been suffering from Bright’s disease. Recently the ailment, for which there is no known cure, assumed a more virulent form, and shortly after his return to Wash- ington it was complicated by a severe cold and malarial fever. Last week the condition of the sick man varied from day to day, but on the whole he seemed to bearing up well and there was some hope that he would rally and partially recover his health. Sundayt morning, however, Mr. Blaine was suddenly stricken with a sinking spell, during w h his heart almost ceased to Drs. Johnston and Hyatt were in constant attendance and heroic remedies were resorted to. These proved effective and by 2 o'clock in the afternoon a considerable im- provement had set in. Mrs. Senator Hale, of Maine, who was at the house for several hours to comfort and uphold Mrs. Blaine, said that Mr. Blaine’s mind was perfectly clear and that the afternoon’s improvement was encour- aging. About 5 o’clock both physicians were sent for and another consultation had. Atits close the physicians announced that, while the afternoon improvement was but slight and not sufticient for any great encouragement, the reaction seemed to modify the worst apprehen- sions. At thesame time any fresh com- plications would result fatally. In the evening President Harrison and Private Secretary Halford walked over from the White house and ex- pressed gratification at being informed that there had been some abatement of the more alarming symptoms. During the day the emaciated face of the sick man was as white as marble and at times he seemed scarcely to breathe. During the crisis the physi- cians and trained nurses used every measure known to bring about the re- action, while all of the family stood by in tears, except Mrs. Blaine, who was outwardly calm and with wonderful self possession issued orders to the at- tendants. During the night there was no neces- sity fora further consultation of phy- sicans, and when morning dawned the house was still darkened by closely drawn biinds. A reporter visited Mr. Blaine’s house &t 9:30 o'clock and was informed by the attendant who answered the bell that “Mr. Blaine isa little better this morn- ing and had a fairly good night’s rest.” A great many officials stopped at the house on the way to their offices and received the same information. Secretary John W. Foster was one of the earliest callers and Senator Paddock was not far behind him. Each of them subsequently said that he had been told that there had been a slight improve- ment in Mr. Blaine’s condition since yesterday morning. DR ALFRED LOOMIS SENT FOR. New York, Dee. 2%.—Dr. Alfred York city and probably in America on Bright’s disease, was summoned to Washington last night to attend ex- Secretary Blaine. Dr. Loomis has never attended Mr. Blaine before; in fact, he has never seen him. The dispatch was received by Dr. Loomis at 9 o'clock last evening as follows: WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 To Dr. Alfred Loomis, No. 19 West Thirty-ninth street, New York: Can you take the night train and come here and see Mr. Blaine? BLAINE. Dr. Loomis immediately wired a re- ply that he would take the midnight train, arriving in Washington at 7 o'clock this morning. At midnight he arrived at the Pennsylvania avenue sta- tion, opposite Courtlandt street and took a sleeper for Washington. He car- ried a small medicine case. The doctors have strong hopes that Mr. Blaine will improve so that it will be possible for him to be removed to some more congenial clime, presumably California, where the change would ve beneficial if it did not work a complete cure. Mr. Blaine, it is now known, has often been deeply despondent of late, especially in rezard to political ambi- tion, which he recently declared was an ignis fatuus. It is said Mr. Blaine sat up for a short time and talked with the members of; the family in a very cheerful frame of j mind. An old friend of the family called and was surprised to be received by Miss Hattie Blaine in a manzer that! indicated more than words the cheerful feeling that possessed her. She said that her father had a very comfortable night and awoke this morning refreshed and bright. the cash for it. C. F. Puanis. j Dr. Loomis arrived this. morning and went at once to the B jainc mansion, ‘ where he remained with Drs Johnson and Hyatt for more thanan hour. He coincided with his colleagues in this city in their view of the case and agreed with them in every particular ip regard to the treatment that had been followed. At the close of the conversation the doc- tor gave out the following statement: Although Mr. Blaine’s condition during the past week has given serious anxiety, yet at the present moment he is decidedly better and in no immediate danger. It is impossible to pre- dict what changes may occur, but his condition this morning gives a more hopeful feeling as to the progress of his dis REWARD. Many Claimants For the $300 Reward Offered For the Murderer. ToreKxa, Kan., Dec. 20.—Now that the fate of Benson, the butcher of Mrs. Mettman, has been settled, claimants are coming forward for the reward of $300 offered by Gov. Humphrey for the murderer. Thus far four have filed their claims—A. MeGahey, of Emporia, who was at the time of the crime chief of police of Leavenworth; Chauncey Flora, sheriff of Leavenworth coun Samuel E. Lee, the policeman of Cam- den, N. J., who made the arrest, and J. M. McDonald, the post office clerk of Kansas City, who discovered the pack- age which led to thearrest. McDonald's application is indorsed by Postmaster Nofsinger. While McDonald says he is justly entitled to all the reward, he will be satisfied with half. Sheriff Flora’s claim is accompanied by a letter from County Attorney Atwood, in which he says Flora ought to have the full amount. Flora is here to present his claim to Gov. Humphrey in person. A Horse Thief Partially Lyoched. CLinton, Mo., Dee. 20.—Sheriff Calla- y, while coming from Bolivar to Fair Play with Thomas H. Tracy, aged 56 years, an ex-convict ac- cused of horsetheft, was met by twen- ty-five armed citizens, who took the sheriff's arms. Then the mob led the sheriff and his prisoner im- to the woods, put a rope around Tracy's neck and hanged him, but let him down before he became uncon- scious and asked him to tell them all about the horse thieving in the county lately. Tracy either could not or would not tell anything, and the sheriff pleaded for the life of his prisoner. Finally the mob turned Tracy over to him, warning the prisoner that if he ever came back they would hang him. Preferred to Withdraw It. Wasuinaton, Dec. 20.—When the senate bill increasing the pension of wholly disabled and indigent Mexican veterans from $8 to $12 per month came up in the house this afternoon, Mr. Wil- son, of Missouri, endeavored to secure the passage of an amendment to include members of the First Missouri volun- teers, but Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, and Mr. Dingley, of Maine, questioned him sharply, and, perceiving that the amendment would continually be de- feated on a cry of no quorum, he with- drew it rather than jeopardize the sen- ate measure. Electrocuted at Sing Sing. Sine Srna, N. Y., Dec. 20.—Frederick McGuire, who beat, shot and kicked to death Mrs. Noah Gregory, wife of his employer, near Middletown in the summer of 1891, suffered death by electricity this morning. When the first current was turned on McGuire's body swelled and tugged against the straps and deep gurgling sounds were heard for a second, which were caused by the expulsion of air from the lungs. He died in twelve sec- onds. De Mores Hadly Wounded. Paris, Dec. 20.—La Presse states that the Marquis de Mores is confined to bed in a hotel at Brussels with a severe wound in the right shoulder, received in a duel with a leading Parisian. The duel grew out of a violent discussion on anti-Semitism. The encounter took place several days ago. Fire at St. Joseph. Sr. Josepn, Mo., Dec. 20.—At 1 o'clock this morning fire partially destroyed the stock of the Bee Hive shoe store, owned by Schloss Bros. The loss is es- timated at $12,000; fully insured. Suit For Breach of Promise. New York, Dec. 20.—The jury in the Jacob-Sire breach of promise case brought in a verdict awarding the plaintiff $25,000 damages. The suit was for $50,000. George P. Glaze Dead. Wicuira, Kan., Dec. 20.—George P. Glaze, ex-mayor of Macon, Mo., died this morning of pneumonia after a brief illness. He served as president of the city council of Wichita TEL RAPH BREVITIES. A dismembered corpse of a white man has been found in the railway depot at Quincy, NL France has established a customs ser- vice for the coast of Dahomey and raised its blockade. George Gentry, a boy of 10, killed his little sister while snapping a pistol at Norborne, Mo. In the public schools of Cleveland, O., the examination system has been done away with. Charles de Lesseps and his fellow prisoners complain of being treated like ordinary felons. Ex-Senator Ingalls spoke discourag- ingly at Philadelphia of the prospects of the republican party. Gov. Hogg, of Texas, revoked a requi- sition warrant recently on hearing it was to force the collection of a debt. Frauds in the weighing of sugar for bounty have been discovered, so gov- ernment officials at New Orleans say. Sir Richard Owen is dead at London He was one of the world’s foremost specialists in comparative anatomy. It is believed by a Union Pacific di- rector that the debt held by the gov- ernment against that road will be ex- tended. Locomotive engineers have been in secret session at Jackson, Mich. A big :“grievance” against some road was hatching. Hugh J. Monroe died on Mills river, Montana, recently, aged 110 years. He had lived in Montana for eighty years, reaching there previous to Lewis and Clarke, the explorers. SAD SEQUEL ‘LO A SHOOTING. For Sare.—A white sewing ma | chine, good as new.
