Unfavorable Reports Promptly Contradicted His Son. by New Yong, May 22.—A reporter called at the residence of Mrs. Walter Damrosch this morn- ing with regard to the report from Washingtor published in a morning paper here which rep- resented the mental and physical condition of Secretary Blaine very unsatisfactory. Mrs. Damrosch was on the sidewalk chatting and laughing with the child of Emmons Blaine, who ‘was in a carriage, andMrs. J. G. Blaine was pre- Baring for a walk with her daughter. Both clined to discuss the article except to say thatit wasa pure fabrication, and that Mr. Blaine was comfortable and improving. It was | fe and not at | the Plain that the ladies were cheerful all worried about Mr. Blaine’s condition. Mr. Emmons Blaine was also seen by the re- porter and was shown the article referred to tite ferible remarks Upon and conteaapte ite remarks upon it, and,;contemptu- maaly. Gung the paper cede wilks tae comeck that it was not necessary to deny the statements therein contained. WHAT EMMONS BLAINE SAYS. He said substantially: “The thing is » He. It is one of the worst kind of misrepresenta- tions. It fs vague and general in its state- ments and any denial of these would be useless. People would say that I also was lying. The article treate,as you see, of what is pastand gone. It discusses the condition of my father in Wash- ington and has got nothing whatever to do with his present condition. As to the statement that the business of the State De) nt was allowed to lapse by reason of my father's al- leged indisposition the records of that depart- ment will conclusively settle that question. You will notice that the article treats the sub- me ina most general and indefinite manner. Nothing that can be nailed down is stated. ‘THE WORK OF SPITE. “The whole thing is animated by personal spite. My father is simply overworked. He went down to Virginia Beach for a week, then returned to Washington. When he came to this city his stomach went back on him and in- digestion made him take to his bed. Since then gout has troubled him somewhat. Eut there is not the slightest foundation for all these reports. Why, bless you, the doctor has not been here since yesterday morning, and I really can't say when he intends to call again. My father is up and dressed this morning and down stairs. He can walk around the room and feels very well. He wanted to take a drive this morn- ing and I shall most likely take him out this afternoon. The only trouble is my father is cies from too incessant attention to the duties of his office and we are determined he shall take a little rest. We are not troubling him with any business whatever. In a few days decide upon our future move- ments. NO APPARENT APPREHENSION. There was nothing in the manner of any member of the family or household which could be construed into anxiety for the condi- tion of the great statesman. On the contrary there was a general air of satisfaction and as sarance. WHAT DR. DENNIS SAYS. Dr. Dennis, Secretary Blaine'sattending phy- sician, was seen at his house this morning. He did not care to make any statement for publi- cation without consulting the Secretary's family. He adhered, however, to the published diagnosis ‘of Mr. Blaine's case signed by Dr. Janeway and himself two weeks ago. Since that diagnosis was held the gout has visited Mr. Blaine, but Dr. Dennis did not regard it as likely to be followed with any seri- ous consequences. He visited Mr. Blain ie Inst yesterday morning. This afternoon he isin East Orange and does not expect to return until evening. He may cab upon Mr. Blaine then. ‘As the reporter was leaving Dr. Deunte said: “Does it look as though I considered Mr. Blaine asick man? If I were apprehensive of his con- dition would it be natural for me to make my visits so few and far between?” shemales kerarntl A CARTRIDGE WAS DROPPED. Foreman Finnegan Denies That a Lighted Pipe Caused the Tarrytown Explosion, Tannyrows, N.¥., May 22.-—-Foreman Edward Finnigan, who is now in the Provident Home Hospital suffering from injuries received in the explosion near Tarrytown on Tuesday on the New York Central railroad, is not disposed to submit quietly to tho imputations that he was responsible for the disaster. He was inter- viewed in the hospital this mofning. He said that there was no Ajax powder on the flat car. It was dynamite. He took the explosive from Ludlow, where it was stored, and put it on tlat ear No 30. There were also some railroad ties and a coil of rope ten feet long on the car. Finnigan says he gave strict orders to the Italian notto smoke. When the train left Ludlow he began capping cartridges. Cartridges are not capped by the manufacturers, but the work is done by the men as fast ae the cartridges are needed. ‘The man who was en; in capping the cartridges was sitting onabos.

A Storekeepor's Complaint and the Result of an Investigation. Several weeks ago Mr. W. E. Gowan of 1083 ‘8d street northwest wrote a letter to the Com- missioners in which he stated that about ten weeks or three months ago Miss Merritt, the Principal of the Banneker school, which is just opposite his place of business, issued « peremp- tory order to the entire school, im which she said that if she saw or heard of one of the scholars going into his place she would suspend them from school. Mr. Gowan ways that his wife went to see ‘Miss Merritt the next day and could gather no reason for such an order except that he sold cider and cigarettes. He says further that he Went to see Supervising Principal Montgomery of the eighth division, who promised to look into the matter, and in a few days after he re- ceived anote in which Mr. Montgomery said the teachers acted us parents over the children while in their wey ad he fully indorsed ‘Miss Merritt's act. He says further that no one ever came to inspect his store and see for themselves whether or uot he kept the articles uamed in the charge, and the order still holds with great detriment to his business. Mr. Gowan asked in “his letter that the matter be locked into. Accordingly Superintendent Cook of the! colored schvgis wrote to Supervising Princij Montgomery for u statement of the facts. Ar. Montgomery says that after investigating the matter he sustained the course of Mins Merritt. He says Mr. Gowan keeps a store at the corner of 3d and L streets, not far from the Banneker school, and the pupils frequented his place to make purchases. Among the articles kept and sold to the boys were cigarettes and cider. Bein mindtal of the morals Ro upils the prinei; jeemed it her duty SO interes, =F in regard to the facts. During her examination she learned that complaint bad been made against the noisy and disorderly conduct of the pupils, 1s resulted in damaging Mr. Gowau's property. Having satistied herself that the presence of the pupils in and around that cor- her was harmful-the principal issued an order prohibiting the pupils from going there while they were im attendance at school. ‘the Com- missioners have approved the action of Mr. Montgomery in the premises. ———— AMUSEMENTS.
