THE DOCTORS PLEASED, WastiNroN, - July 18.—This has been another éne of the president’s best days, for each one seems to be an improvement on the last. The fe- ver has subsided and the soreness and stiffness is disappearing. The presi- dent is slowly gaining strength, and is allowed to talk and eat as he pleases and the doctors are strictly satisfied with the fmprovement. FEELS LIKE A NEW MAN, The president has slept a good part of the day and, is much improved. A barber was called in this morning to brush him up a little, trim his beard, &c., and the president says he feels like a new man. He was made glad by the noéinfiuf a telegram from Men- tor this morn; ing informing him of the improved condition of his mother, whose sickness was announced yester- day. STILL THEY COME. Letters and “telegrams conveying expressions of sympathy and con- gratulation continue to be received at the White House. SOME V APPARATUS, The doctors, however, are losing no chance to make him comfortable, and to this end are having arranged an apparatus for raising the patient. It consists ot two upright pieces of frame work, one attached to the head- board and the otherto the foot board of the bed. Laght pieces of s'ats, something 1fke the side railings of a bed conduct these uprights and two pieces of heavy cloth are so arranged that one can be slipped under the patient from the head and the other from the feet, com- ing just near enough togéther not to bear on the wound. “Then, by the use of a lever, the patient is raised from the bed on a heavy cloth, when the wound is '&lressed, -~ the bedclothes are changed, etc. By this means, the president is raised without that jerking that can’t be avoided when done in the old way. He is now raised by six men lifting a sheet, and it always causes him more or less pain. It is expected that the new apparatus will be ready for use to-morrow merning. The people scem to feel deeply interested in this ma- chine. GUITEAU.

The conductor staggered through the open door and fell off the platform near the track. A brakeman who saw the conductor fall, hastened to pick him up, but he was dead. fhe robbors scattered through the train, and began firing promiscuously through windows, through the roof of the conches, and into the floor, to in- tunidate the passengers, but fortu- nately no oneelse was killed or wound- ed, Thero were comparatively few passengers aboard. Meanwhile two of the bold plunder- ors and murdercrs had goue into the express car, The intention was %o rob. the United States express safe, as it was evidently known the robbers that the express matter brought down by the Atchison branch was transfor- red to the train they were on at Camr eron, There was $6,000 transferred there, to a certainty, and perhaps more. Reaching the express car the two men met the express messenger, Mr, Chas. Murray, and the baggageman, Frank Stamper. Mr. Stamper es- caped from the car, but the messenger remained to attempt to parley with the ruffians, He told them that all there was in the safe was a litthe bullion, and that they would never got that. One of the desperadoes hurled him down, and knoeling over bim with & revolver pressed againss his temple, compelled him to unlock the safe. 1t was impossible to ascertain the exact amount in the safe, but 1t was at least 5,000, and some of the train men averred that the sum must have been fully £15,000. The two men oun the ex}nmul then ordered Ed. Waloutt, the eng neer, to “pull out.” But as the auto- matio brakes were on he ecould not do this, and at this they began firing ab him and the fireman, Tom Suggs. The frightened engineerand fireman quick- ly put out the lights in the cab, and, headlight, and then ensconced them selves, in awe and terror, on the pilot, powerless to defend themselves or the train, being unarmed ‘I'he robbers left thetrain assudden- wling out on the pilot, put out the | and, as the train moved out, lmg‘nn firing at the cars and through the win- dows —one of the boldest and most devilish proceedings ever committed by that class. No. 3 reached the station at about 11 o’clock and picked up the murdered conductor and took him to Cameron, where an inquest will be held. As soon as the inhabitants ot the vicinity heard of the dreadful vutrage, many of them turned out armed with shot guns and rifles to hunt down the mis- creants, The police in this city were ordered to keep a sharp look-out for them, but the only man whose deserip- tion they have, and in fact the only one of the band whom any one could furnish a description of, was the mys- terious black bearded man, the leader of the gang. George Tindall, another passenger on No. 3, gave the following graphic aceount, differing slightly from some of the others: I heard the shooting and saw the headlight of the engine go owt. The robbers got on the train at Cameron, and sat quietly until it passed through Winston. Just Iu-ymu{ that place is a trestle work, and here the train slowed up. Then a large man, with a full black beard of about two weeks’ rowth, rose out of his seat and' com- anenced a promiscuous firing. He was in the smoking , in the front end. The conductor was passing out of the rear door when one shot struck him in the back. He swaggered out on the platform and fell off the car. At the samo time firing was going on in the ladies’ car, and it was here the stone- cutter, John McCullough, was killed. I think the shooting was done to in- timidate the passengers and not with the intention of killing anyone. The robbers ordered n brakeman, Harry Thomas, to pull the rope and start the train, but the engineer, Ed. Wal- cutt, refused to obey and put on the air brakes, Tle rohbers proceeded to the baggage car, or part of them did, and _ordering the baggage man out, clubbed the expressman, Chas. Mur- ray, knocking him down twice. He did not know whether they hit him with their pistols or not. Any way, he had a bad gash across lhus fore. head. The robbers, securing their booty, 6000 that is positively known of, quietly left the train. The passen- sengers were tho worst scared 1ot of fellows I ever saw. We brought the body of the dead conductor back to Camden with us. He was an excel- lent man. T have known him person- ally for many years. Altogether the robbery was one of the most daring ever perpetrated, and at the same time human Sifo was most recklessly disregar: & A gt No Trace of the National Associnted Press.
