Dr. Agnew, it is said, told a member of the Cabinet yesterday afternoon that the irritability of the stomach was probably caused by the dys- Peptic condition of the patient. _“If such be the case,” he added, “I think the difficulty can be mastered; but if it is produced by the wound, it is serious.” The evening examination of the wound was made subsequent to the dressing of the wound.

There is no disease so insidious nor when fully developed so difficult to cure as that species of nervous degeneration or exhaustion produced by night work or long hours. It is easy to understand how such a state of prostration may be induced. The brain and the nervous syatem have been very aptly compared to a galvanic bat- tery in constant use to provide a supply of elec- trie uid for consumption within a given time. “As long” says a recent writer, “as supply and demand are fairlp balanced, the functions | which owe their regular and correct working to | the fluid are carried on with precision; but | when, by fitful and excessive demands carried far beyond the means of supply, the balance is not only lost, but the machine itself is overstrained antl injured, disorder at first and disease afterwards are the results.

The morn- ing bulletin was awaited with great anxiety. It was issued, as usual, at 8:30 o'clock, and was as folloy Favorable Official Morning Bulletin. A MARKED IMPROVEMENT INDICATED. Executive Ma‘ os, August 16, 8:30 a. m. The President was somewhat restless and supply of work cannot be regulated by the de- mand or need for it, but by the power to pro- duce it. He has been living on bis capital as well as the interest thereof, and when he finds that he has no longer the strength to work as he used to do, and starvation itself probably staring | him in the face if he ceases to toil, why the very | thought of coming collapse tends only to hasten the catastrophe, and reason itself may totter and | fall before the continued mental strain. Probably the first sign of failing nervous energy is given by some of the large organs of the body; with fluttering or palpitation, or in- tenmittent puise, and shortness of breath in as- cending stairs or walking quickly. The stomach may give timely warning, and a distaste for food | or loss of appetite, with’ acidity, flatulence and irregularity of the bowels, may point to the loss of vitality from waste unrepaired. Or brain symp- toms may point out to the patient that things are going wrong. He may not find himself able to work with his usual life and activity; he may have fits of drowsiness, or transient attacks of giddiness, or pain, or heaviness, or loss of sleep itself. ‘This latter would be a serious symptom indeed, for in_ sleep not are the muscular and nervous tissues re- stored and strengthened, but there is for the time being a cessation of waste itself; and if sleep be essential to the ordinary healthy man, it is much more so to him whose mental facul- | ties have been overtasked. Long hours and | night work lead to loss of sleep, and loss of sleep may lead to insanity and death. Loss of memory, whether transient or general, is a sure sign that the brain has lost its power of healthy action, and needs rest and nutrition to re-| of the pulse, temperature and respiration, to the unprofessional mind, obviously indicate an img provement, and lead the public to give the most bulletin. BLAINE COMING. Secretary Lincoln arrived in the city this morning at 6:30 o'clock. Seeretary Blaine is e pecta@l during the course of the day. It is not expected that Vice President Arthur will come to-day. He is, however, hourly advised of the President's condition. Excitement and Anxiety in the City Last Night.

At 6 o'clock yesterday morning the Dispatch thermometer indicated 89 deg.; at 9 it was 91 deg., and at noon 101 deg. The heat was almost unbearable, and the little, beeeze stirring was Nike a hot alr blast. The few people who have managed to keep mod cool all the sum- mer were at last forced to it that this was something more than they could comfortably endure. At 1 o'clock the temperature had reached 102 deg., and clouds began to rise, and all the ne of a violent thunder storm ap- peared. About 2 o'clock the wind grew into a gale from the west, and the air was filled. with the dust and sand raised from the streets. where it had lain for weeks, each day being ground finer and finer. On Main street, at one time, you could not see the houses on the opposite side; the street cars ploughed their way throngh the dust clouds like ships heading a black storm; pedestrians sought the shelter of doorways, and doors and windows were tightly closed against the pernicious in- trader. At various exposed points shade trees were blown down, the mulberries, as usual, being the chief sufferers, and several houses | were damaged as to the roofing and chimneys. After this windy demonstration, which was fairly comparable to a simoon on the desert, great raindrops began splashing upon the hot pavements and house-tops. For a time there was a lively struggle for supremacy between the rain and dust, and amid it all there were accumulated dust and dirt of the weeks of drought. From 1:30 to 2:30 the temperature was lowered 15 degrees, though the rain was falling scarcely more than half an hour. ~ 0 District Government Affairs, POLICE STATISTICS.

Parker, who assaulted Mrs. George Bull, of Philadelphia, .died early on Tuesday morning last of the wound inflicted by Constable Cole while resisting arrest. Mr. Bull has returned to Philadelphia, and Mrs. Bull re- mains behind. with some relatives. Her troubles have greatly prostrated her, and at one time insanity was tbreatened. After Parker's arrest he was handcuffed and fastened to the constable by the other assistants. While Cole was asleep | Parker secured the key, which was in Cole’ waistcoat on a chain six feet away, and releasing himself, fled without taking his clothing. It was | Mr. Bullwho tracked him to his lair on Friday During the three days Mr. Bull had officers an guides scouring the lake, but Parker from hi hiding places on shore could see their every movement. Mr. Bull finally located him near the foot of Long Lake, and statianed Cole and | another constable, both armed, at the only point | where he could passin getting away. He put | off then in a boat with his wife, and they halted | him. He continued rowing, but the boat ran aground, and as he stepped ashore to get her 0 he stooped down to pick up his gun. In doi so he exposed himself to the range of the w pon in the hands of the constable. who had several times warned him to stop or he would shoot. The bullet struck his arm, shattering a Done, and then passed entirely through his body. Dr. Burhans attended him, and before he died he made a statement not = Se: given the public. Grris Wo are Out at Nicut.—The case of Jennie Cramer, at New Haven, is sensational, because up to the time of the present writing it is not known whether she died from an excessive dose of chloroform adminisxered by a kiave or whether she committed suicide in remorse after afreshdebauch. Whatever the tardy investiza- tion may develop, one thing, social, is herein de- monstrated. Jennie was very beautiful, and the people with whom she. as the daughter of a cigar-maker in moderate circumstances, natur- ally associated, were proud of her. She was somewhat vain, and arsenic assisted her com- plexion. People who had more money than her father flattered her because she was beauti- ful. She had that freedem which girls of the middle class in America too frequently have, and her parents permitted her to be abroad at night. Their idea, though they were Germans, is the idea which prevails too extensively in this coun- try—that a girl can take care of herself. A girl cannot always take care of herself, and where she is left to that idea she will become contam- inated, slightly or cruelly, the case may be. Jennie was out at nights.—Wew York Herald. A CutLp Kitts His Bronaer anp HimseLr.— On Thursday morning, July 28, near Edenton, one of Harvey Burke's boys shot his brother with a pistol, mortally wounding him. Immediately thereafter he reloaded the pistol and shot him- self, causing instant death. The boy first shot lived only a few hours. What was the cause of the shocking affray is unknown. The boys were about 10 and 12 years old.—N. Carolina Clarion. —— ee Mayor CARTER HARRISON AND THE THIEVES. A Chicago paper of Saturday says: ‘‘Mayor Harrison appeared in the role of an amateur guardian of the peace yesterday morning under somewhat ludicrous circumstances. His honor lives on Ashland avenue, and in the rear of his property is an alley lined with sheds or store- iouses belonging to the mayor's neighbors. About daylight yesterday one of the residents of the vicinity heard a noise inthe sheds, and was not slow in making the discovery that thieves were at work. He accordingly proceeded to the attack, but the thieves stood not on the or- der of their going, their discoverer, meanwhile, engaging in a little revolver practice at their re- treating forms. Startled by the rattle of small arms under his bed-room window, the mayor \ out of bed with a revolver in each hand and, on learning the cause of the excitement, hurried to the street in pursutt of the thieves. In accordance with his honor’s usual policy of meting out swift justice to the guilty, he did not linger even to don his Ing-gown, but hustled down the alley eoted and clad only in his robe de nuit.” The tlaieves succeeded in making good their but left behind them several sacks of pins ler ‘in the shape of winter clothing and other articles which had been deposited in the store-houses. The goods were afterwards identified by the neighbors.” ee DRowneD at Lake Cua: 14.—A Philadel- phia Press special from Ti , Pa., August 4 says: A drowning’aceident ogcurred at Lake Chatauqua to-day which cost the life of Clement Horton, of Elliugton, N.Y, Early this evening anempty row-boat was discovered in the lake, between Point Chatauqua and Fair Point, bj some excursioniets, contai a satchell, eesti f and clothes and other ae They were taken to the general office at Fair Point, and on inquiry they were found to belong to the above-namned inan.

THE EARL OF PEMBROKE DEFENDS THE HOUSE OF Lops Loxpon, August 15.—The Earl of Pembroke writes to the Times, protesting against the cry | being raised that the amendments of the House | of Lords to the land bill are an attack onthe | principle of the bill. He says this is not true in regard to one single amendment, except that dealing with the termination of existing leases, and that amendment only restores the bill to the shape in which it entered the House of Com- mons. The obstinate injustice of the govern- ment towards the land bill, he says, is the sole cause of the deadlock. PRESS OPINIONS. The Times, in a leading article, says: The tem- perate judgment of rational men is unanimous that the differences between the two houses ought to be composed; nor is there the slichtest. reason to believe that a fair, moderate and prac- tical arrangement is out of question. The Daily News, in a leading article, says: It Mr. Gladstone resigns he would make the Peers our masters. If the vote of a majority of the hereditary legislators could at any moment over- bear the decision of the country parliamentary government would become a farce. The same may be said of a dissolution of Parliament and a general election. The News discredits the idea of a conference between the two houses. ge Old World Affairs, RAIN WANTED FOR CROPS.

St. Louis letter S ‘A suit for 10,000 damages filed Friday drags into notoriety the Hazeltines and Paramores, families of high social standing. The suit is brought by Jolin Amweg, a singer in the Ford Opera Company, performing at Uhrig’s Cave, the fashionable summer night resort. Amoweg’s story is that being smiled upon from the parquette by Miss Nellie Hazeltine, known at home and abroad as the belle of St. Louis, and whose name was linked with Samuel J. Tildea’s three or four years ago, he entered upon a flirtation. He visited Miss Hazeitine at her aristocratic home, received notes and photozraph: his own story, boasted of the conquest. Early this week Miss Hazeltine aud her mother started for White Sulphur Springs. Amweg’s story reached the ears of Will Hazeltine, a brother, and Fred Paramore, the suitor of the belle. They corraled (to use westernism) the opera singer in an upper chamber, beat him il be gone and the comet from him an order on his landlady for the notes bowl ty ates and then turned him loose, all of whi indignittes he makes public and asks damages.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAl. EXACTITUDES— HOW THOUGHT MAY BE CHANGED. The Philadelphia Times to-day publishes the following card from Dr. Agnew: > In responding to your editorial of this morn- ing, August 13, let me say that I did not charge any medical gentleman as é " senting my views nor the Times of statements on any subject whatever. It is very easy, even for @ medical man, In re porting an informal conversation ‘on a profes sional subject, to omit technical exactitaden, especially where anatomical questions are con- cerned, and thus materially change the true thought of the informant. “That such has been the case in the article which called forth my card will appear from the following statementa, Which sha’! be made as brief as ble: First. It is stated that the wound had been explored to the depth of about seven inches. This that statement would lead the reader to infer the exploration had been made from the of entrance of the ball and that the track ofthe missile had been traced seven inches, whereas, as was stated, the exploration was made through counter-open' or abscess, the of which, to the point where the ball passed the rib, was two inches and a half. which would leave for the track of the ball a distance only of four and a half inches. Second. Tam made to say that the precise lo- cation of the ball is either in the quadratus lum- | borum or the psoas magnus muscle. The precise location of the ball I have never professed to know. I did say that in my Judgment the missile passed along the anterior face of the quadratus muscle, behind the kidney, and ably was lodged in the anterior pari of the iliac fossa. The two statements ¢ extending seven inches an ‘tus lumberam muscle are w nm anatomical crounds, as the entire b of the muggle named does not exceed and ahalf or four inches, and it is not ie that, haying spent most of my life in udy of the human body, | should make a ake on this pr three mii .
