Correspondence of the EVENING STar. Fauis Cuurcu, Va., Sept. 16, 1881. The readjus my las er primary meeting referred to in , and for which the notices were posted on which the republican primary was held, met. Both primaries were called to elect de to a county convention to nom- a didate for the house of delegat The readjuster primary, though called to m on the day follc the republican pri- the delegates which that primary should Ajuster county conven- tion to assemble one day before the republican county convention. This was regarded asa moye- ment to @restall the action of the republican county convention by our republican primary meeting,and it was denounced ass y all who spoke in it except the two colored men. As I understand the ter, the Mahone state convention that nominated the state ticket and which the republican state convention in a kind of half-way manner renominated, decided that the house of delegates, where the repub- lieans in a district had more yotes than the re- adjusters, the republicans were to nominate and the readjusters were to support the nomination, but when the readjusters had the most votes they were to nominate the candidate and the republicans were to support the nomination. This arrangement was made by the readjusters themselves, and the fact that it seemed about to be disregarded in our county, where the repub- licap vote was some thirteen or fourteen hun- dred to the readjuster vote, vetween two or three hundred, was what gave rise to the rather pugnacious spirit in our republican primary. The delegation was instructed to vote for no candidate for house of delegates except he was known to be a republican. The readjusters in the county evidently got scared and their convention did not nominate a candidate, but appointed a committee to confer with one from the republican convention if one should be appointed by the latter, and their committee of conference was prepared with a candidate named Graham, who was of republi- can antecedents, but now an officer in the dem- ocratic rosjueice club in his locality. He was not known to the republic&ins, and the commit- tee refused to nominate him, but nominated R. Farr, the present democratic readjuster m— ber of the house of delegates, and a portion of our Falls Church delegation violat instruc- tions in nominating Farr. I rhust say for Farr that he is a very liberal democrat. I think, too, that Farr was the democratic readjuster dark horsé in his county. Now, what is the prospect? Some of the dem- ocratic readjusters, I understand, have said that they aim to use the republicans, and when they fail to do that, the thing is up. ‘They all openly say tha t they'are democrats and do not intend to be anything else. They keep up their own organization distinet from the republicans, a cir- cumstance not favorable to enthnsing both par- ties in this quasi coalitfon, nor for it is simply an arrangement not arising from cher- ished principle, so much as a desire to make something in the way of position or spoils by lemocrats are playing the part in i it.

NT IN THE GENERAL SYMPTOMS —HOW THE NIGHT WAS PASSE: Special Dispatches to Tue EVENING STAR. Lone Brancu,N.J.,Sept. 17,12 m.—From three o'clock yesterday until a very early hour this morning the condition of the President was such as to create the greatest alarm and distrust, not only among those anxiously waiting and watching, but among physician as well. All of the complications which have beset the case were aggravated, the lung trouble had increased, the wound was behaving badly, and there were unmistakeable evidences that the President was not only losing hiscourage but’his mind as well. When the night closed Dr. Bliss admitted that the unfavorable symptoms were due to an in- crease of blood poisoning. Three days ago he said he thought the blood poisoning was being eliminated, but the record of the day was one which copvinced him it was on the increase. HAZARDOUS IN THE EXTREME. “You may say,” Dr. Bliss said to THE Star representative, “that the condition of the Presi- dent is now hazardous in the extreme.” The President frequently complains of being tired and worn out. At timeshe is flighty. His mind wanders, and more than once he expressed dis- satisfaction with his quarters here and asked when he is going to be removed to Mentor. Up to midnight last night the patient’s general con- dition did not improye. At 11 o’clock his pulse was up to 130, and his temperature over 100. Toward 2 o'clock there was but slight decrease in these figures. A TURNING POINT. About 3 o’clock he fell asleep and slept until 6. When he woke his pulse had receded to 106 and his temperature gone down to 98. When the surgeons (and all of them were in attendance) met to make the morning examination of the wound, the general symptoms of the patient showed some improvement. First, the wound looked better and its dis- charge was of a more healthy character. The pulse, though frequent, was a better pulse than yesterday, because it was what doctors term stronger and less wiry. THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE FEELS BETTER. “T feel better said the President.” The day opened at Elberon with fear still uppermost. While there was a change for the better it was so slight that it was not calculated to restore confidence. Dr. Boynton said “I cannot see that the President is any better,” while Dr. Hamilton ‘told Attorney General MacVeagh that “the President is still a dangerously sick man.” Dr. Agnew said he would form no opin- ion until later in the day. CERTAINLY NO WORSE. Attorney General MacVeagh, who has seen all the doctors, tells me: “I think some of his symptoms are milder. I do not think any are aggravated. I do not think he is better, but he is certainly no worse. A singular thing about bulletins now is that we are frightened at just such things as we knew existed all along.” ONE REASON FOR ENCOURAGEMENT. ‘(As Dr. Hamilton said to-day, if the bulletins of the past had been as fall as this morning's, instead of being alarmed at the bulletins of yes- terday and to-day, the public would find reason for encouragement.” To sum the matter up at 1 o'clock it may be said that the President has gained nothing since he left Washington. He has lost gradually ever since last Saturday and is about the same as yesterday with dangerous symptoms milder than then. Second Dispatch. A DISCOURAGING VIEW OF THE CASE. Love Brancn, N.J., Sept. 17.—Dr. James B. Hunter, of New York, who had a half hour's talk with Dr. Hamilton, his particular friend, says: “The President has utmistakably pya- mia. He is in great danger of slow blood poi- soning and not rapid death. A man afflicted as he is will show his ailment from time to time in new metastic abscesses forming on vital organs, which are liable to attack one after the other and is almost certain to be affected by the poi-, son as it gets worse. His emaciated condition facilitates its course through the system from one organ to another. There is no escape now from this danger, but it will be slowly doing its terrible work all the time.” The Cabinet Summoned. Lona Brancu, Sept. 17, 12:46 p.m.—Attorney General MacVeagh last night sent a dispatch to the members of the Cabinet, setting forth that the President’s condition was alarming, and adding that he was glad that to-morrow, Satur- day, was the day fixed by them for their return. This morning he received a dispatch that the Cabinet would leave Boston at 11 this a.m. This will bring them to New York early to- night and to this place by 10 o'clock to-night, unless they remain over in New York™until 'to- morrow. Dr. Bliss said that yesterday after- noon the President gsked him a question, which he will not make public, which convinced him the President was losing his mind. THE PRESIDENT INFORMED OF HIS CONDITION. Subsequently, when the surgeons met for con- sultation, Dr. Hamilton announced that he had been asked the same question. During a lucid spell last night the President called Dr. Agnew tohim. “Doctor,” said he, ‘am I not critically il?” “Your condition is critical,” was the frank response. “I thought so,” rejoined the Presi- dent. While the surgeons this morning feel some little encouragement, they with one ac- cord vate the belief that the President is again going through another eriais. A Favorable Report morning report will no doubt be @ favorableone. ©. 0. Rockwell, the President’s cousin, watched with him the greater part of the night. ‘He says the President slept well the most of the dnd the temperature and_palse are lower they were last evening. ‘The weather is clear.

He slept quite well taking nourishment at proper intervals. Hi con was not troublesome, and the expectora- tion moderate. The discharge from the wound is more healthy and the color of the granulation slightly improved. [Signed by Drs. Bliss and Agnew.] Dr. Boynton Feels Retter. BEEF BLOOD ADMINISTERED TO THE PRESIDENT— THE CABINET EXPECTED THIS EVENING. ELperon, N.J., Sept. 17.—Dr. Boynton says he feels better about the President's condition this morning than he did yesterday morning He does not consider that there is any marked improvement, however, excepting that the wound looks better. The cabinét are expected to arrive this evening. Defibrinated beef blood is being administered to the I’resident by ene- mata. Arrangements have been made to have fresh blood brought here daily. The patient had two ounces of it last night, and has had three ounces already this mornimg. Good results are expected from this treatment. A BETTER DAY THAN YESTERDAY EXPECTED. ELBERON N. J., Sept. 17, 10:50 a. m.—Dr. Bliss does not think that there has been any marked change for the better in the President's case. The wound looks more favorable this morning, the pus being of a more healthy character. The suppuration from the parotid is a trifle less than it has been and looks more healthy. The lung trouble has not increased in area, and is considered to be in a better eon- dition. The cough is less annoying, and the ex- pectoration not so exhaustive. A better day than yesterday is expected. Pulse now 106. HIS PULSE DOWN TO 102. ELBeron, N. J., Sept. 17—11:15 a.m.—Dr. Bliss says the President's pulse is now 102. His general condition is unchanged. Assistant Secretary of State Hitt arrived last evening. THE PRESIDENT HAS A RIGOR. Etseron, N.J., Sept. 17.—The President had a rigor between 11 and 12 o'clock this morning, lasting about half an hour. The pulse ran up to 137, and at this hour (12:45 p.m.) the pulse is about 120. The Rigor this Morning. GREAT APPREHENSION PREVAILING—THE PRESI- DENT SUFFERING FROM OVER-EATING. Etpenon, N.J., Sept. 17,1 p.m.—The Presi- dent had a rigor about 11 o’clock this morning. It lasted about twenty minutes, during which time the pulse ran up to 137. After the rigor passed off the President vomited considerably. His pulse at this hour has decreased to 120, temperature being 101, and respiration 24. The situation is decidedly critical, inas- much ag there is great probability that more chills will occur. It now transpires that there were indications of a rigor yesterday. The President also suffered from over-eating last night, being troubled with pains in his stomach. Dr. Boynton, in answer to interrogations of a representative of the Asso- ciated Press shortly after the rigor became known, said that it was one of the many un- favorable symptoms which must be looked for at this stage of the case, at the same time reas- serting his remarks heretofore to the effect that everything terrible follows the existence of chronic pyemia. Great apprehension prevails. ga es A Conflict of Authority. ALL ON ACCOUNT OF 4 CIRCUS. Crxctnnatt, 0., Sept. 17.—A_ Louisville Cour- ter-Journal special from Frankfort, , Says: A few weeks since the city council raised the cir- cus license from $35 to $70. This Forepaugh, the proprietor of a circus, refused to pay, and rented grounds just out of the city. The coun- cil then passed ‘an ordinance prohibiting him from unloading in the city. An injunction was obtained and an order served on Mayor Taylor restraining him from interfering with the un- loading of the show. This order Mayor Taylor refused to obey, and with the police endeavored to stop the unloading. Sheriff Hawkins seeing he was powerless to enforce the order of the court, called on the governor for aid. He promptly ordered Capt. Price to report to the sheriff with the McCreery Guards. This he did, and when the militia arrived at the depot Mayor Taylor still refused to allow them to unload, and ariot was imminent. He said he would shoot the first man who attempted to take a wagon from the train. He was carried by force from the scene and the street taken possession of by the soldiers. The cars were unloaded and a parade took place. The military will remain on guard until the circus leayes town. ae Wintry Weather in Iowa Cmcaco, Sept. 17—Unusually cod weather has been reported from Des Moines and other parts of Towa for several days. Snow fell all along the Rock Island road, between De Sota, twenty miles west of here and in Nebraska. It was two inches in depth at Omaha. The tops of the cars on the Rock Island road on arriving here last night, were covered with snow. The weather is cloudy and very cold for the season. Telegraphic Briefs, Charles Smith, of Rockland, Me., a laborer, gave himself up to the police last night, saying he had murdered his wife because she was unfaithful to him. An explosion ofa boiler in Card & Co.'s saw mill near Monroe, Jasper county, Iowa, caused the instant death of E. N. Garnant, and fatal in- Jury to.M. L.

Dr. Lugenbeel’s Challenge.

C. Revells, was handed this war- rant, learned that Dr. Lugenbeel had in the morning left for his home in Virginia. Mrs. Christiancy when informed yesterday of the action of her brother, said that khe was not surprised, for French had been much aggravated by the manner in which Mr. Christianey had treated her, and especially by the manner he (Mr. C.)" had spoken of her since his arrival in this country. She had rather expected that her brother would have horsewhipped him, for he (C.) had done everything he could to ruin bh character, even to bribing witnesses. She re- grets that her brother took this course. tc z The Vermont Avenue Christian Church, NEW BUILDING TO RE ERECTED.

Kansas City is a beehive of industry. You never saw so much business in a city of its size in all your travels. It has been five years since I was here, and I could scarcely tell where 1 was. When we rolied into the grandest depot in the United States it was almost impossible for me to realize the change from an old shed that stood on the same site for years to a perfect palace, | with a train from some direction arriving ev haif hour during the day and night. The greatest excitement prevails here now over the train robbery that occurred within al- most gunshot distance of the court-house, and within view of 100,000 people; and wit ali the startling developments and exciting adven' in the pursuit and supposed capture of the real | train robbers, the whoie will end in a farce—all | the noise will end in much cry and little wool. The men who unmercifully robbed us of our all, not even leaving a fellow eno glass of ice water to cool our live in Kansas City and Jaci mother of Jesse James, th into Kansas City every week, and lives across the river in Clay county, and he (Jesse James) goes there, sleeps there, and the authorité know that he is there half his time, and yet they cannot find him. The sheriff is afraid to arrest hit, and this fear springs to a great ex- tent from a political source. The moment the James’ are interfered with that very moment the votes of his friends are given to some other official who pledges that he will look everywhere else except in the place where the ‘outlaw is. This a true statement of the whole thing. They may arrest every man in Jack- son county, and they will not get the men who committed the robbery, With all their bow it is not the intention to capture the ight ones, because they are afraid to. This is my prediction. Some of the robbers may eventu- ally be arrested, but all the boys (for that is all Zoe cn Oo eee) Dat bee. been arrested will released one by one after the excitement dies out and the people think they have the right ones. The friends of the James boys are going: to stand by them, and they are ion, and @ great political power in this (Jackson) and Clay county.
