The urine often con- tains albuinen.”” AT HATF-PAST 4 o’cLOCK the President's pulse had gone down below a hundred. Respiration and temperature werenottaken, in order not to disturb him, secretary Hunt came out from the physicians? yoom and said that the patient was doing yery well, and that no fears of anything worse were then entertained. In front of the White House a sinall knot of people had gathered before the bulletin. There were potmany there atatime. Dr. Bliss spoke hopefully. He said he did not think there would be any blood-poisoning. Symptoms of {fit were uot appurente. AT HALF-PAST 5 there had been no return of: unfavorable syuiptoms. The President’s pulse was be Jow 100,and he continued sleeping. Drs. Agnew and Hamilton arrived at about $ ovclock this evening. They did some very fast traveling. Dr. Wamilton left New York st2:5¢o'clock, and arrived at Philadelphia ativ0p. m. Hew in a special car, At Philadelphia he was met at the depot by Dr. ew, and, without any delay, a fast train started for Washington. The trip from New York was made in five hours and the trip from Philadelphia in three hours. The evening pulletin did not come out until 7:50 o'clock pm, Itwas not a very reassuring bulletin. The symptoms, it should be remembered, were noticed when the wound was being dressed, and the patient, consequently, was not in as good a condition as wlien in repose. There was a fair discharge from the wound while it was being dressed. ‘The pulse had goueup eighteen beats since 6 o'clock. AT 10 O'CLOCK TO-NIGUT theagent of the Western Associated Press saw Secretary Blaine and Postmaster-Gen- eral James ut the White House. Both of them felt more hopeful, and so expressed themselves. “Gen, James said: “I have just sent a telegram to New York stating that the Pres- ident’s fever has declined, and that he is “gloeping, that his pulse and temperature are down, and everything looks favorable.” Secretary Blaine said he thought the threatening symptoms had passed. He had felt very uneasy, but felt very hopeful then. Ble said the President was sleeping, and he pelieved all the trouble had grown out of the stoppage of the tlow of pus from the wound, Blaine said the surgeons agreed that the sud- den cessation of the discharge of pus from the wound would produce just such a trouble asthe President had had. TO-NIGHT DI. HAMILTON telegraphed his wife as tollows: “The symptoms of the President are not so grave a8 I supposed when I left home.” Dr. Agnew telegraphed his family to-night as follow: “Things are favorable.” These dispatches contain the only declara- fion thet the surgeons would make up to 10 odock to-night. The President has been sleéping all the evening under the influence of morphine, and the doctors would not dis- turb him to make an examination. They examined the pulse at 10 oeclock and found it to be 106, but would not make any further examina- tion until to-morrow morning, At 10:30 to- night at the White House everybody felt more hopeful, The feeling was that the im- mediate danger had passed. AT HALF-PAST 11 0°CLOCK tonight the President’s pulse had fallen to 10. At midnight he was resting quietly, though no additional morphine had been ad- winistered. To-night the flow of pus from the wound became free again, and better symptoms followed, which sustains the theory that the stoppage of the drainage of the wound caused all the trouble. The surgeons will not say that the return of the unfavorable symptoms may not appear, but they are hopeful. - DI. MAY’S OBSERVATIONS. Dr. J. A. May, for forty-five years estab- lished in the practice of his profession at Washington, said to a reporter: “If. as is stated in the dispatches, the reported relapse fame with a chill lasting an hour, 1 attribute the change to one of two causes. .It is either owing to the malaria! influence of the low grounds ofthe Potomac on the south of the Presi~ dent’s house, or else it is owing to the forma- tion of an abscess or the absorption of mat- ter, producing pyimia. The chill pre- eedes them all. ‘The symptoms have ben so favorable and so mild that l hardly think it owing to the absorp- tion of pus. Rather, it appears to me, a malarial influence may be the cause. The Fresident’s house, as is proverbially known, issubject to such malarial intiuence and the intennittent fevers which it causes. One of the worst and most obstinate cases of = INTERMITTENT TERTIAN lever attended, was that of President Pierce, when he occupied the White House, and at that time most of the servants on the south or the river side of the building were attacked with that fever. If the President hag been sleeping in a room in the south, and exposed to the breezes from the marshes by the fiver, with his windows open at night, he may have contracted the malarial fever, which is always ushered in by a chill. If this is the case, it will manifest itself in all Probability Monday by a sound chill, unless it assumes the quotidian or daily form, or the paroxysm is averted by {reatment. If his relapse is produced by the other cause, absorption of pus seemed. the caseis much more serious. But there is Snune reason 10 hope the latter is not the THE ASSASIN. INGERSOLL’S OPINION OF THE WRETCH. Spectal Dispatch to The Chiccgo Tribune. Wasurncron, D. C., July 23.—The Wash- ington Gazette, under the management of Gol Hinton. will tomorrow publish an in- teresting interview with Col Ingersoll. It - hasbeen currently reported that Ingersoll ‘Was the liberal man who loaned Guiteau the Money with which he bought the pistol.

NEW York. . Sle Yonk, July 23.—There was consider- Pexcitement and great anxiety in Wall 5 CHICA street and about the down-town resorts yes- terday morning when the first bulletin from the White House at Washington was posted. ‘The news flew like wildfire that the Presi- dent’s condition was alarming, and, as it traveled, the story became exaggerated, un- til at noon it was rumored from -mouth to mouth that he'was dead or dying. Wherever a bulletin was displayed a crowd gathered and earnestly, and with sorrow in their faces, read the unwelcome news. The anxiety evinced was so undisguised and intense that the Scenes about telegraph and newspaper oflices, and the quick, nervous inquiries of friends meeting in the streets, recalled the too-vividly anxious days, three weeks ago, when the attempt was inadety kill the Pres- ident. For the past ten days the news from Washington had been so continuously and uniformly hopeful that the an- nouncement of yesterday’s relapse was unlooked for, and a painful surprise to everybody. In the Stock, Cotton, and Prod- uce Exchanges bulletins were posted as soon - as received, and were read with suppressed interest by crowds of brokers and merchants, even while the excitement of business was going on around them, When the announce- ment was made that the President had ex- perienced another chill, and Drs. Agnew and Hamilton had been telegraphed for, there was great depression everywhere, for it was feared the crisis was. very Brave On all sides the opinion Was expressed that the President's relapse is in all probability caused by the art 1 elrilling of the White House by air blown over ice in order to keep duwn the atmos- pheric temperature. VICE-PRESIDENT ARTHUR, who had intended being out of town to-mor- row, decided to remain at home when he heard of the change in President field's condition. Heisin hourly communication with members of the Cabinet, and during the day and evening received numerous dis- patches. LONG BraNcu, Lone Braxcu, July 23.—The news of the unfavorable change in the condition of. Pres- ident Garfield filled the people with sadness, and put an end to all festivities. When the dispatch was received that the consulting ans had been summoned to Washing- ton intense excitement prevailed. Crowds surrounded the telegraph oftice.” Gen, Grant was among the people, and iously in- quired for information. When 2 copy of Secretary Blaine’s dispatch to Lowell, United States Minister, London, was reeeived, tell- ing of the more favorable condition, many a “God grant it” was heard. A dispateh later from the President’s private seeretary, say- ing the President was sleeping quietly, some- what calmed the excitement. but the erowds continued around, anxion awaiting more bulletins. The freworks display announced for to-night to celebrate the returning health of the President was prevented. The ball- Toums are to-night deserted. SARATOG Sanatoca, July 23.—Rumors concerning the change for the worse in President Gar- field’s condition reached the racetrack. jus Ss the first race was about to be started. It had a magical effect. Horse-racing was dis- placed from the minds of the brilliant throng, and the eri condition of the President eagerly discussed instead. A re- port. that the President wag dead threw a pall over the entire course. BALTIMORE. Batimone, July 23.—The news of the un- favorable condition of the President has ex cited great an: yhere. During the after- noon and up to a late hour to-night crowds gathered around the bulletin-boards to hear the latest news. The S o'clock bulletin gave some relief. GALION, 0. CLEVELAND, O., July 23.—A Galion special to the Leader states that the reunion of Pre: ident Garfield’s old regiment, the Fort second O. ¥. 1, set for tu-day. is_postpor to Aug. 31, on account of the President’s condition, An effort will be made to post- pone it still later. REMARKABLE RECOVERIES. To the Editor of The Chicayo Tribune, ly 22.—1 remember, some years ago, of seeing Gen. Shields and hearing him Telate how he wgs shot throueh the lungs in the Mexican war, It was then considered marvelous that he recovered. About two years ago two young gentlemen were walk- ing and conversing together down the princi- pal street of Indianoja, Tex. ‘The evening ‘ex. was a pleasant one. Ail of a sudden a pistol shot was heard, and one of the young men went down, shot through the left lung, quite near the heart, the ball coming out near the spine. It had broken a rib on its passage, yet it being a Colt, and a good one, the ball went through the body and lodged in his clothes, [was summoned to the patient. The wound was self-inflicted, and, as he afterward told me, he intended to shoot him- self through the heart. The treatment I adopted was ice-cold compresses to the chest, carbolic acid and glycerine dressings to the wound. To allay a troublesome cough and spitting of blood, suitable measures were used. Milk for diet. 1n one month he rode out with me ina buggy. In two months he was well. IL Rosrncnans, M. D. GO. REVIVAL OF PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE PRESIDENTS WELF: ‘The reappearance in the windows of THE Trimune counting-room yesterday after- noon of a bulletin announcing the sudden and totally unexpected relapse of the Presi- dent into what had to be considered an im- minently dangerous condition produced a veritable shock to the community. For sev- eral days past no such public announcement of the President’s condition had been made, and people glaneing at Tue Tribune Build- ing windows, and marking the continued ab- senee of the bulletin, understood that it- meant, as well as the words could speak it, that the case was progressing favorably, that the wounded man had passed another day and night in safety, and was by so much the more advanced in convalescence. With natural readiness to accept the rosiest view of the situation, the public had allowed its hope that the President would recover to grow into a faith in that happy termination of his sickness, and on this account the sud- den arising of apo: lity, if not a proba- bility, that that faith had been resting upon anything buta sure foundation; caused men to read the fatefm announcement from Washington with evident feelings of dread. and anguish. ‘They were, perhaps, more sick at heart than when, Just three weeks, before, they stopped and read, from the same window, the overwhelming facts connected, with the act of assassination. That day, however, was so full of excitement and, so many and varied emotions were aroused that menwere in a general way “ worked up rather than depressed by the succe: S. patches. As they then crowded in fr the building and discussed the terrible oc- enrrence, all sorts of subjects connected with it were disenssed. The intense intere was divided between horror of the deed, pity for the wounded man, hatred of the a anxiety as to possible dangerous pr complications, and a hope again: t hope that the end of the whdle horror might yet be a happy one. = Pesterday, however, there was no conflict of emotions to. partially relieve the mind from the anxiety aroused by the baleful news, and the crowds which gathered and read’ tne first. dispatch, which mere- ly mentioned the fact of the Presi- dent’s danger,. did so with the deep- est concern, but calmly, and, while but. few cominents were made, the valpable effect of the news was gravely depressing. Later on, however, when the dispatches in- dicuting the cause of the trouble and assert- ing its removal arrived, the readers took heart and expressed again a hope and firm belief that, after his gallant three weeks’ struggle for life and apparent, arrival at a state of omy eaeenees the set-back was only a temporary affair. 5 rest ens from Washington was eagerly looked for, and to a certain extent the scencs of three’ weeks ago were repeated. Old men, whose eyes could not de- cipher e words, asking | younger men to read the latest” dispatches fur them; lads copying them off as soon as they appeared and dashing off to their anxious employers; passengers on the cars surprised at the appearance of the bulletiys and dismounting so as to learn the news, good or bad; these and other evidences were present, as before, of the popular.anxiety re~. garding the President. «All day long the Sidewalk was crowded, and late at night they <vere still on iand, hopeful that further and better word might be had from Washington and placed for them to read, ALBANY.

Speciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Arnaxy, N.Y. duly 23.—After the final adjournment. of the Legislature, at noon to- day, the members, who have had their trunks ‘ked for the past week hurried away on the first train, and to-night scarcely a politi- efan is to be seen, In the confusion of the Jast hours of the session many unin portant bills were rushed through, and some im- portant measures were not reached, Among the latter was the Congressional Vacancy: Dill. It had passed both ltouses, but, shortly before adjournment, was recalled from the hands of the Governor for amendment. When it had reached the Senate the hour of dissolution had arrived, and it was not taken up. The provision in the bill making it MANDATORY UPON THE GOVERNOR toorder special elections wus felt by many of the leading legislators ot both parties tobe 2 very serious defect. The object of recalling the Dill from the Gqvernor was to cure this de- fect, It ig believed that the fuilure of this Dillds agrevable to tha new Senators. They fear no disustrous consequences, as all the vacancies in Congress now existing can be filled at the general election, without. hazard from any quarter, unless by some unforeseen cireum- stances, throuzh the death of the President, an extra session should become necessary. EVEN IN THAT EVENT the Republicans express confidence that enough Greenbxckers (so clussitied) will act with them to secure the organization of the House. Judge Robertson will assume tho duties of Col- lector next week tu all probability. Before the close of the session he resigned his position a3 President pro tem of the Sennte, Senator Me- Carthy was elected to the ollice. This action was tiken in consideration of tho continued iliness of Lieut. Hoskins. If he should die before January next McCarthy would become Lie uten- ant-Governor. THE FIFTH AVENUE, GLAD IT 18 OVER, Special Dispaten to The Chicago Tribune, New York, July 23.—Only a few Bucks were visible. to-day at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and these seemed disappointed when they were informed that their chief, Sen- ator Conkling, had left for home. The an- nouncement of Laphaw’s election, it seems, had no sooner, reached the hotel than a general scattering ot the Buck lenders was re- solved upon. The Western Senator, Jonn A. Twgan, at once shook the dust of the city off his feet, and, bidding adieu to Mr. Conkling at the hotel, drove in a cabto the Liberty strect ferry, and took the train for Long Branch. VICE-PRESIDENT ARTHUR, in view of the unfavorable news trom Washing- ton to-day in regard to the President's con- dition, abandoned his idea of going to the sea- siao fora few days of refaxation, and will re- main in the clty to receive frequent dis- patches from the National Cupital, All the Bucks in the Legislature from this city were expected to reach their homes this even- ing. Among the guests and visitors at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel who hud been accustomed to the flurry and excitement of the politiem struggle during Mr. Conkling’s stuy there was a general expression of satisfuction that the contlict was ended. OFF FOR UTICA, To the Western Associated Press, New Yous, July %3—The Times says: “Ex: Senutor Htoscoe Conkling packed bis gripsack yesterday morning early, and then perused the newspapers, devouring with especial interest all such reference to himself as had been. marked with blue penell by bis private secretary.

State Sei ator-Robertsou will enter upon his duties us Col- lector of the Port of New York the urst Mon- day in August, THE ADDRESS, THE VOICE IS THE VOICE OF THE DEMO- CRATIC LEGISLATORS, BUT THE MAND 1S THE HAND OF SAMUEL J. TILDEN. aAbasy, N. ¥., July 23.—The Democratic members of the Legislature, through their Joint Caueus Committee, have issued an_ad- dress to the Democratic citizens of the State of New York and to the citizens of the State without distinction of party. The address says: Discords and quarrels in the Republican ma- jority bave separated us from our homes and ‘business for nearly 200 days. The chief cause of this unealicd-for detention wns a quarrel with the President of tho United States on one side and tho Vice-President and the two Sen- ators from this State on the other. The source of thjs discord was the question of officlal put- ronuge or the spoils of office. The Collector of the Port of New York was forced to resign in the midst of his term from a place where be was serving with general acceptance to the pub- lie, and was appointed to a place abroad unculied for by his friends or by the public, in which he has no experience. Tais change against which the merchants of New York protested in large nuinbers, was mude in total disregard of every announeed principle ot Civil-Service reform, and was not culled fur by any principle of polit- ical duty nor the interest of the public service. The purpose of the act seemed to be to reward those who bad been personally successful in se- curing the Presidential nomination, and to pun- ish those who had resisted the Ieading member and members of the National Republican Con- Yention eluiming the right of-uthird term of Executive service for a previous President. THE SEMLY QUARREL AT CHICAGO, in the summer of 1380, was transferred to Wash- ington after the Presidentinl election ut the close of thesame yenr. The same strife his been continued with wore bitterness at Albuny through the whole of the present session of the Legisiature. It commenced with great vebe mence at the Senatoriul election in January, when 2 third-class candidxte was nominated atid elected over frst scompetitor for the first Ollice in the gitt of the Legislature, and bardly second to any oftice in the zitt of the people of the State. The ollice then filed after great strife was vacated by a voluntary” resignation, ‘and when it bad only been heid for less than one-fourth of the first year of the full six yeurs’ constitutional term of service. THE MAN WHO INSPIRED THIS RESIGNATION sus the senior Senator of the State, who had een three times elected tothe United States Senate by one party of the State, whose lonrer orvice he now refused, and simply owing to the fact ofthe nomination to the Senate of one chief offender who bad opposed bis ambition and wishes at Chicago and elsewhere. ‘The ieless resignution of these two men bas cost the State not only # large amount of money, Dut, what is more valuable, its honor, dignity, end self-respect. ‘Two | factions, known by the vulgar but | expressive | name: of “Stalwarts” and “Half-Breeds," buve governed the Senate and Assembly of the Republican party and Stare through the whole sessien. The Democratic members have many times asked and demanded an appeut:to the people, but, by farce of numbers, in defiance of public opinion and in denial of the opportu- nity of a timely public Judgment upon the fact of ieaving the State without fts constitutional representative in the higher brinch of Congress, the Republican majority refused to leave the Choice of the succession tothe people of the State, These demands by the Democratic minor- ity, that an appeat be made to the people, were met by : gE INSULTING DECLARATION: that the possible choice of Domoertic Senators io Gonuress would bea public cxlamity to the Stute, and this after. just electing Thoni: Piatt’ as the successor of Franels Kernan and after following this succession with the choice of a man named Warner Miller, a member of the present and previous House of Representatives, where he was only conspicuous and notorious as _u direct and personal beneficiary of one of the worst monopolies In the country, and where he supported that monopoly by his voice and influence, and with u threat that other public Intereats should I suffer if tus special interests in wood- pulp and the manufacture of paper not protected. Raperswore MOST DISTINGUISHED AND CAPARLE MEN of the dominant party not in public place, apart from Conkling, but ineludiag men Ike Fish, Wheeler, Curtis. Rogers, and others, who have served the State with ability, buve hud to give pluce to the two men ¢lected to Congress, and their nomination was made an excuse for puss- Ing n law to till the vacancies made by their election, and for no other reason. ‘Those special elections thus provoked will be untimely, as they ure unnecessury und expensive. ‘The wholo Senatorinl question at Albany regolved itself into three most disereditable couclusions; 1, A mistrust of the people of the State on the. PakEof the Republican niajority in the Legis- lature, 2. The quarrel over the spoils of office in two or three Republican fuetions, with practical contempt for every principle belonging to whut Is known and rocogaized as civil-service reform. 3. Abuse of power from {ts long use und mis- use, until two of the least capable persons have been drawn from the popular branch of Con- gress to fill the highest. places of the State in the Congress of tho United States. (HERE Is WHERE TILD! VIDENTLY EX- PECTED THE ADDTt TO END.] Another and most disyraceful transaction belonging to this Repudlivan, Legislature is the evidence of bribery und corruption established upun the evidence of members of the dominant party. A leading Republican Senator of one faction is charged by « member of the Assembly of the same party and the same district of whe other faction, with offering aud paying bim $200 far a Senatorial vote, and the money was pliced fn possession of # ‘Special Comniittee, and is now in tho hunds of the Stute Controller. Beyond this fact is the circulation of large sums. of woney by prominent Itepublienns pending tho Senitorint election, and, 4s many believe, the intended contro) of tho result of “the elec: uon. ‘The State of New York with its 5.000.000 of people has been deeply wronged and dis- graced both by the Repubtican Senators’ action in Washington and by the ucuon of tho Repnb- Heun party in power at Albany. In the first place, tho Chief Magistrate of the Government, for daring tu putin practice the principles of Executive right or authority In the choice of a public otfice, nearly lust bis life. THIS SAD AND TERRIBLE CRIME came not nloue through the personal madness of a single man, but from that personal fanati- cism which was and is the truit of greed for public ollice, und of false and dangerous politi- exteducation. Now, if ever, is the time to steach allen that public office is the property of the people, and that places of ollicial trast can only be ‘rightfully distributed to men of noble purposes, of pure lives, of wise experience, and of unqualitiea fitness for the work to be performed. The Demucrutic party of the State desire to inculeate and enforce the doctrine with whieh the Demucratic party came into ex— istence, as when Jelferson deciared that the only quatitications for office rested upon the wise, sufe, and patriotic platform of personal capa- ty, personul honesty, and personal tidelity to the Constitution. ‘AS members of the Democratic party serving in the Legislature, where in_one branch there were bul seven Demucratic Sen:tors of thirty - two members, and in the. Assembly but forty- seven of the 123 members, we also feel called upon to protest against special, personal, and partisan logisiation against the publte interests. The majority in the Assembly, by the combined vote, with the exception of a single member, re- {used to even permit the reference for discus- sion alone of three bills carefully prepared and sent to the Judiciary Committee, and providing for absolute REFORMS TN PRIMARY MPETINGS of cities, towns, and villayes of the State where candidates are hamedand made for every oflicer elected by the people. In the same miuliznant spirit, where there were and are Democratic city and local Governments, the wishes ot the people were defeated by the combined forces of partisan legishitors. Important cases awaiting the decision of Stute Courts were set aside to await tho clamors of partisans at home and in the Legislature, and this under a ruling upon points of order and rules of parliamentary rizht of practice wholly unprecedented in tho history of tho State or country. ‘Lhe chief source of the present danger is the Federal pa- tronnge and the impure administration of the body of Federi! otticers, whose numbers are now in excess of 100,000 persons, and every year in- creasing in number. Against this enurmous aggressive apd personal power tnere must be eternal vigilance for the sight of free education of the children of tho pébple, und the diffusion of that knowledge, and integrity, and patriotisin throughout tho State und couutrs, which alone can maintain a union among the States and se- cure peace and prosperity all over the land. LAPHAM. i SPEECH AT AURURN, Avurcnry, N. ¥., July 25.—Senator Lap- ham, en route to his home in Canandaigua, was met at the depot, and, in response to calls of the people, said: My Furasps: 1 thank you very sincerely for this compliment. In. view of the intelligence we have this afternoon, I meet you with sume- what suddened feelings.

At the bck of the rows of cells ventilating shafts run from the ground to the root of the penitenuury, with an opening into each voll, ‘The Warden heard that some pris- oners had managed to conceal certain articles, anu personul inspection Jed him to believe tut the air shafts were the biding-places. Accord- ingly he had openings mude in the flues, and wag rewarded by finding a great variety of articles. In one place a-roll of clothmg ‘wis found, iucluding a complete. suit of citizen's clothes. Rolls of leather, brushes, knives. forks, brandy and soda bottles. pocket ‘tasks, bottles of quinine, bummers, chisels, und many other articles were brought to light, and enough found to furnish an ordinary junk-shop. A. large number of Bibles, priyer-books, and hymu- books were found, It is believed that some of the convicts regularly hig their Testaments in order to impose on the Chaplains by requests for new ones, Warden Green ‘has had all the openings covered with wire netting to prevent anything but bad air getting into them.

No Abatement in the Trunk-« Line Passenger-Rate War. The “Scalpers” Steal a March on the Pennsylvania Company. Another Decline in the Volume of East- Bound Freights. A Break Imminent in Passenger Rates to the Seaboard Oities, Railroad Building. in the United States Daring the Year 1880, THE PASSENGER WAR. Special Disvatch to The Chicagu Tribune, New York, July 23.—The nir was thick with rumors to-day concerning tho west-bound pas- Senger rates war. It wa3 said that the General Passenger Ayents had ugreed to return to the regular tariff rates, but up to evening the cut rates were yet in force in all the of- tices, and the Genern! Passenger Agents maintained the same mysterious manner which bas characterized them since the beginning of the wur, They assumed to know nothing of any attempt at a compromise, and to all appearance were just as closely watching each other as ever. The onslaught of the Pennsyl- yanlu Company upon the bro! stirred up those vigilunt, und untiring people, and while Mr. Samuel Carpenter, the General Eastern Pas- stnger Ageut of the Pennsylvania, was jubilant and contented in bis oflice over the situation, the. brokers, who are all thin and active men, tried to smile as broadly as ho did, and = were equally as meriy. Bir. Curpenter felt that he had struck tefror Into the camp of the brokers, and that meeting their rates at every turn would cause a stainpede that would work great disnster to them. He = said thut the Pennsyl- vania’s = object in cutting .was for the sole purpwso of driving the brokers Into the ditch, and be fancied, no doubt, that he saw them already fying. ‘Che Pennsylvania Company bas adopted what ia culled a con- tinuous-train ticket in the hope of cutting off the retreat of the brokers and compelling thom to surrender. ‘This ticket has printed on the margin at its top the time of the departure of the several trains. The purchaser is asked which train on thoday of purchase he intends to take, and when be selects the train the agent punches out the time of that train, and the tieket is only ood thereon. Upon tbis ticket tho pissenger is compelled to truvel without stop- pages, other than those for breakfust, dinner, or luneh, to bis destination, As an instuuce, a man obtains one of these for Chien) from ® beoker in this city, but in- tends to go no’ further than’ Pittsburg. The broker communicates ut oney to one of bis agents in the depot at Pittsburg. This agent secures the ticket from the holder upon his arrival there at a rcusonable rate and sells it to a customer who wishes to travet to Chicago from that point. The tirst holder, in disposing of his ticket, finds that bis trip'to Pittsburg has cost him next to nothing. ‘Tue second pur- er of the ticket travels froin Pittsburg to Chicago for less taun the regulur rates, und the broker, who perhaps failed to make anything by Selling a ticket at this end of the line over the Pennsylvania Railroad, finds that he secures his protits ut Pittsburg. Of course thuse trans- aetions nt the latter named point must be ac- complished in a short spuce of ume, in not more than twenty minutes perhaps. Thus the broker laughs to scorn the attempts of the Pennsylvania Company to run bim to the will. ‘This plan of the brokers seldoni, if ever, miscarries, as they aro in constant telegraphic communication with their agents in Pittsburg and other points. and at this end kuow how many customers at pluces - want tickets for points further West, When the Pennsylvania Com- k ny cut their rates to $9 to Chicago the New York, Lake Erie & Western and the Balti- more & Obio Railroads ut once met them, but the New York Ceutral & Hudson River Railroad Company refused to make the reduction, und this afternoon were selling at $10 for Chicago, or $10 Jess than the regular tariff rates. Mr, James S. Jsuckley, General Passenger Agent of the New York, Lake Erie & Western Ruilroad, suld that his Company wis by no means frightened by the uction of tho Pennsylvania people. Tho Erie would always selt at a3 low rates a3 tho Penusyivaoia, Mr. Charles S. Craisz, of No. 315 Broadway, General Eastern Passenger Agentof the Bultimore £& Ohio Railroad, said his rond would continue at all times to sell at the lowest rates the Pennsylvania orany other roid might make, At Lansing’s ticket office, No, 397 Brordway, the crowd was the thickest. A mare bad been stolen upon the They were selling .50, or 30 cents less thun the Pennsylvania, $1.50 ess than the New York Central, and $11.50 less thun the regular tariff rate. They suid they could ‘stund it as long “as the railroads oul Thoy were selling tickets to St. Louis for $13. to Cincinnati for $8, to Cleveland for $6.50, and to Bulfalo for $3. Other brokers were asking $9 for pickets to, Chicago, and were thus keeping In Ine with tne, Penusyl- ¥anin, Erie, and — Baltimore. & — Ohio. Harry Frank said he was selling at $9 to Chi- cago. Business was good, in tuct rusping, und penple were not asking so many questions. but were purehasing ut once, fearing that the rates will go higher before they go lower. At all the offices there jis an enormous sale. of tickets for the West. Ar old railruad man said that the brokers or “scalpers”” mav well bo contented with their lot, as they have friends in the Erie and Battimore Companies who will help them while helping them- selves in the fight being waged between the New York Centrul and Pennsylvania Roads. EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. Although the present east-bound freight rates (vasis of 15 cents grain from Chicago to New York) are generally admitted to be low enough tocompete aguinst the lake,—and there is uo prospect that rates will go any lower so that it cannot be sald that shippers are holding back in anticipation of better terms,—yet last week's shipments have still further decreased. For the week ending July 23 the east-bound shipments by rail from this city were 44,971 tons, against 80,88! tons for the week previous, a decrease of 5,861 tons. It will be generally admitted that with so low rates 44,971 tons is not a very large amount of business in one week by: our trunk lines. ‘The two Vanderbilt roads alone would be able to tuke that amount from this city in one week without taxing thelr facilities to any great extent. The light shipments at present show thit THE Trimuse was right when tt insisted all alung that no matter how low the rates would yo rail shipments would not increase percep- Hibly, because tere is but little business in the country to go forward. The prospects are that Dusiness will not improve until the new crops come forward. And 2s the erop prospects for this season are not very flattering the rouds will be compelled to maintiin low rates through the winter even, if they mean to don respectable business. The following statement shows the amount of «rain, four. and: provisions carried by the various roads leading cust from this city for the week cuding July 23: [Grein, | Prov’s, Nona of tune of| Total 20 tons.

The conference only lusted about an hour, and the only railroad official present was General Freight Agent George Olds. of the Milwaukee & St. Paul. — Commissioner Robinson stated that “nothing detinit bad been reached, but that THe TxropNe was cor- rect in stating that there would be a liberal re- duction in “long haut” freight rates, particular- ly as to coal and xrain. The schedule, however, hie said, would probably not be given out before the middte of August. Commissioner Sinith left for bome yesterday nova, and Commissioner Robinson left for home Inst night. Another con- ference will be held at Springfield ‘Tuesday morning. THE WAR IN PASSENGER RATES. Jt is feured that if the war on west-bound pas- senger rates continues much longer the ¢ast- pound rates will also go to pieces. Thus far the passenger rates buve been steadily maintained at $15 from Chicago to New York and $16 to Boston. The Eastern trunk lines, however, have lately been selling round-trip. exoursion eatly reduced rates, and this [s rates. “As faras can be lenrned the New York lines are now selling first-class tickets from New York to Chicago for $3. The most serious eifect of this war, and whicn affecta also the Western cotinections of the astern’ trunk tines fs the break in emigrant rates.. As the first-class rates has reached a figure much below the emigrant rates, "it becomes —_neces- sary to. reduce tho latter also, as ft would not do to charge the emigrants more than first-class passengers. The reduction in emi- grant rates: amounts to from $4 to. As cne emigrant business {3 now very heavy, the los3 on account of the reduction is very great. The first-class passenger business to the West isvery light at present, and consequently the reduction on this class of business was of no great mo- ment, ag the loss under tho circumstances wis not very grent. The break in emigrant rates will likely” bave the effect of stoppine the war, as none of the ronds are very anxfous to sink much money on passenger business, especially since the freight business is anything but profit- able at present. i ‘ RAILROAD STATISTICS, From advance sheets of “ Poor's Manual tor 1881," covering statistics of the railroads of the Onited States for 1880, it is learned that the total number of niilés of railruad in the United States atthe close of the year was 93.671, indicating new construction during the year of 7,174 miles.

C., July 23,—Yesterday morning the Larry Hyman plantation, about twenty-tive miles from here, was the scene of a series of sickening and diabolical crimes, ending in a wanton murder under circumstances not only horrible, but peculiar. The prominent tizure in this affair is Samuel White, a cripple, who bas lost the use of both his legs below the knees. White's sister fs the wife of Ryland Thomas, an honest and popular farmer. Yesterday morn- ing while Thomus was away, White, the cripple, baving secreted himself in the family mansion, went into Mrs. ‘fhomas’ room, and, locking the door, committed a rape on the person of his own sister, Although without the use of his legs, tho scoundrel posseses most incredibie strength in the arms, and is able ta wabble kis body about the ground in snake-like contortions, moving along with wonderful rapidity, and, armed with a crutch, by meaus of which he raises himself, he is really far more active than the majority of men.
