HIS CONDITION THIS MORNING—BIS GROWING WEAKER—AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE AT THE BEDSIDE OF THE SUPPOSED DYING MAN—HIS, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL CONDI- TION—NEW SCHEMES. About twelve o’clock on Friday night Mr. Vanderbilt was seized with a nervous chill, which occasioned some anxiety; but at two o'clock yesterday morming It had worn away, leaving him somewhat weaker. At the Commodore's request two or three hymps were then sung by Rev. Dr. Deems and the other persons present. The sick man seemed to derive much satistaction from this, and, feebly joining his voice in the melody, Gnaily fell intoadeep and undisturbed sicep, which lasted till after daylight. He awoke much reireshed, and partook heartily of a breaktast of eggs, beefsteak and toast. Drs, Elliott, Linsly, Austin Flint and Geschoidt met in consultation at half-past nine o'clock | yesterday morning, and, after a prolonged discussion, stated in reply to the questions of anxious inqairers that, while they had scarecly any hopo ot the Commo- dore’s recovery, there was no probability of his pass- ing away immediately. It was possible that he might even recover, but not sufficiently to transac: his busi- Bess as of old. . fy Dr. Linsly, who bad passed the night by the bedside of his patient, stated that a change for the beiter Lad occurred within the preceding forty-eight hours, but he seemed to regard the death of the Commodore as @ question of a few weeks at the utmost, Dr. Elliott did not think there was any visible increase of fecblencss in his pations {rom day to day, but porbaps there was | from week to week. The case was a remarkable one | altogether, ho satd, and the Commodore was not to be judged of by rules applicable to people in general. ‘That he might live a month or longer was by no means impossible, About three o'clock in the afternoon the Commo:lore ate a light dinner of milk toast, after which he dropped asleep. Drs. Linsly and Elliott were in attendance throughout the day. No chango took place in the con- dition of the Commodore, however, and at eight o'clock in the evoning he ate a light supper prepared for him under the direction of Dr, Elliott, ‘THK COMMODORE’S SPIRIIUAL CONDITION, Rev. Dr. Deemx, who is in almost constant attend- ance, as well as others who are in communication with the Commodore, say that he is in an atmosphero of spiritual peace and is quite ready to die, although wish- ing 10 recover. The reverend gentieman says the Commodore was always a firm believer in the Sorip- tures, and never permitted any one in his presence to make a jest of sacred sublects. Dr. Deems also says that the Commodore has expressed @ desire to make reparation for any injuries he may have inflicted upon any one dyring bis career. RUMORED CHARITABLE SCHEMES, It was rumored yestorday about town and upon Staten Island, that Commodore Vanderbilt had under consideration’ for some time previous to his illness a comprehensive scheme for the benollt of workingmen, the details of which were to be kept strictly secret uatil alter his death, Tho report was published in some of the morning papers of yesterday and was copied into the afternoon journals with the addition that there was good sutbority forthe statement. It was said that a part of the scheme consisted in con- verting a portion of his landed estate on the south shore of StatenIsland into a city similar to Mr. Stewart's Garden City, on Long Island, It was farther stated that a ferry wonld connect the proposed city with New York, the fare to bo placed at tne very lowest rato at which expenses could be earned. Mr. E. D. Worcester, Vice President of the New York Central Railroad, and President ana Treasurer of the Lake shoro road, who has been in daily conference with the Commodore, stated in the course of a conver- sation with a HakaLp reporter last might that there ‘was no truth in this report. The Commodore had, he said, contamplated for some time a scheme of great magnitude, but it was of an entirely difleront complex- jon from that indicated in the reports referred to. What the scheme was Mr. Worcester peremptorily refused to tell, The mina of the Commodoro is as clear as ever, and he converses with his friends in a manner ¢! shows: 1o be unimpaired. Mrs, Crawford, are almost tly by bis side, ocersionally a iriend who calls is admitted to the sick room. Itis said by those familiar with the Commodore's manner, that he talks much more,now than when he was in full heultn. For the first six weeks or so of bis tllnoss he euffered so much that he was almost oblivious to exteraal events; bat he is now quite treo from pain and listens atten- tively while one of bis attendants reads the daily to him. On Friday he spoke for threo hours stretch tp Mr. Worcester, more than usually spoke in a _ wee when = in health. The fubject of bis remarks was tho condition the ids in which he js interosted ard their proper management. He recommended a con- ervative course as in many respects the most oxpe- dient. In that connection he spoke of tho defeat of General Custer, and expressed the opinion that the latter had beon guilty of some rashness or indiscretion in the manner of conducting hrs fatal eampaign against the Sioux. ‘As an evidence of the clearness and vigor of his men- tal faculties it issstated that while bevy enaseed in discussing business matters with Mr. Worcester, on Fri a is wat nounced to him that his barber e- “Ob! let hive go; I won't be shaved to-day,” sald the Commodore, and theo, changing his mind, he added, “‘Tell him to come back ut two o’clock this afternoon.”” It was evident from this speech that he fully realized the time required to transact the busi- ness in hand, This little interruption of the conversation lasted about one minute and a halt, and, at its conclusion, Commodore Vanderbilt turned to Mr. Worcester and taking up the thread of his story just whero he left off continued to the end. ‘THR LATEST PROM THE SICK ROOM. At one o’clock this morning Commodore Vanderbilt's pulse was growing weaker. Ho slopt uneusily, and was iretful All bis physicians were present at bis bedside. . FATAL ACCIDENT.
