WasniNarox, July 81.—There have been no three bulletins 1 any one day of the gwd‘mt’l sickness 8o sat- isfactory and reassuring as those of to- day. { The increased nourishment taken is hailed as agood sign, so much more 80, that physicians say it is amply suf- ficient to meet the demands of the patient’s increasing strangth, = The raising of the president to a semi- sitting posture several hours during the day is proving a good factorin the case. It improves the heart action and has good effect on his general condition, besides giving the patient needed rest, the physicians also recognizing evidences of * heating in the increased tendons of the pa- tient’s body which' has boen most ser- iously affected by ‘inflammation. The president has asked several times re- cently, and requested the physicians to be careful in dressing his wound as it hurt him to have his flesh handled. All the physicians agree that this is a favorable indication. Under these circumstances the president was some- what nervous at the dressing of the wound, and to this cause Dr. Bliss at- tributes the increase in pulse to-night. This afternoon the fever was very slight, as indicated by his tempera- ture and respiration, Both these had fallen to a normal. condition by 9 p. m., and his pulse to 99 degrees. Be- tween that time and midnight the president passed as comfortable an hour as any he has exyerienced since receiving the wound. The members of the cabinet called at the White House during the even- ing. Drs, Agnew and Bliss conversed freely with them on the situation. Expressions were full of hope and at the same time reminded anxious ones that it might be many -months before the wound will be entirely healed. In fact, the preisdent might be able to move about aud travel long belfi)re the wound kadbeeome entirely well. Dr. Bliss stated that the experiment would be made to-morrow with a view of definitely locating the ball. Last evening the experiment was made by Professor Bell, with Professor Hughes and the balance . of the attending physicians, and Dr. Agnew and Hamilton being present. A balance was passed over the abdo- men carefully, just after the evemng dressing of the wound and when the plate came immediately over the spot which was black and blue for some s after the shooting there was no- ticed a slight sensation in the indica- tor. The indication was not sufti- ciently decided as to admit of a defi- nite conclusion that the ball had been found, but sufticiently so as to en- courage further experiments. Prof. Hughes invention is warranted to detect about two inches below the skin, Prof, Bell claims to have so perfected a balance that metal will be indicated five inches in the body with this improved balance. An experi- ment is to be tried to-morrow. If success crowns the effort and the ball is where it is very strongly suspected to be, the original diagnosis of the wound will be upheld. The spot where a faint indication was caused i about four and one-half inches below andjto the right of the naval, just above groin, Should the ball” be thus located it has been decided to cut it out, By so doinga continuous chan- nel could be made through the presi- dent’s body, but it is not deemed necessary to effect this, The location of the ball once established th> physi- cians will feel still more forearmed, but will make no eflort to extract it at present unless it should be found to be doing mischief. The president is passing a good night, sleeping well and comfortably. ~ The afternoon febrile rise has entirely subsided. The following dispatch was sent from the White House to-night at 1p.m.: To Lowell, minster, Lon- don—The president is slowly improv- ing and I shall henceforth omit my daily telegrams. Not hearing from me you may infer that all has gone well. (Signed) Braing, Sec'y. SUNDAY'S BULLETINS WASHINGTS July 81.—Officlal bulletin: Executive Mansion, 9:30 a. m.—The official bulletin just is- sued, gives the condition of the presi- dent as follows: The president slept well during the night and awoke re- freshed this morning. The after- noon fever subsided earlier than the night before and had quite disap- peared by 10 p. m. His appearance and expression this morning indicate continued improvement. At present his pulse is 94, temperature 98.4, res- piration 18, (Signed) D. W. Buss, J. W, Barxes, J. J. WoobpwARD, R. RevBURN D. Hayes Agunew. WasuNNGTON, July 31, 7 p. m The president has passed an excellent day from just after morning dressing till about 6 p. m. He has had his head and shoulders erected by a frame beneath the mattress. He has taken and relished an ample supply of nour- ishwent and continues to improve in general condiiion. The appearance of the wound at this evening's dress- ing was in every wsy satisfactory. The afternoon rise of temperature has been insignificant. At present his pulse is 104; temperature 09; respira- tion 20. (Signed) D. W. Buss, J. N. Barnes, J. J. Woonwarn, Ronr. REYBURN. H. H.

They are Manufactured in Peoria, Ill,, From the Funds of the Skirm- ishing Fund. Peoria, 111, Jul{ 30.—Therej is no longer any doubt that the machines that were lately seized in England in barrels of plaster-of-paris were made in this city. There is residing here Mr. P. W. Crowe a well known mem- ber of the band of United Irishman and a partner of O’Donovan Rossa. He is one of the committee appointed at the late convention in Philadelphia to look up the skirmishing fund, and find out where it was and what was being done with it. Mr. Crowe de- clared to a Journal reporter this even- ing that all the machines lately seized in England were made in Peoria, and out of the funds of skirmishing fund. Each machine weighs forty-five pounds. The outside is made of iron—within is a zinc receptacle containing a clock . arranzement, After ru hones the ..olpck liberates n’finmor that strikes a nip- le and explodes a percussion cap. his sets fire to the charge at once, and a half-pound of fulminate of mercury and a pound and a half of dynamite, suflicient to blow up the largest block of buildings in the world. A man takes one of these ma- chines in his hand and starts by the block of buildings that it has been de- termined to destroy. Ata convenient place he deposits it, in an open stair- way or by the side of the bwlding. Once { ed, all he then has to do is to walk away and provide for his own escape. He has six hours to do it in, and, in that time, he can be out of the reach of pursuit. Mr, Crowe says that there are a large number of these machines in this city and that they will be sent out a few at a time until peoplo are afraid to patronize British ships or live in a British dwelling. He talks of the amount of destruction that they will do as calmly as & man would reckon the contents of a field of oats, He says that war is always cruel but that the most cruel and surest way is the best, and that they intend to keep up this until they have forced England to concede the liberation of Ireland. There is no i8 [ doubt that Mr. Crowe is very much in earnest and that he means every- thing that he says. He stands very high in this community and is the furtherest removed from a blather- skite. He 18 moreover a strictly tem- rate man and honest and industrious. To is hand in glove with O'Donovan Rossa, who he regards as the real lib- erator of Ireland, He saysthat Eng- land has taken away from the Irish people all other weapons but these, and with these they must fight. ol Ak ©of Superintendents.

National Associated Vress. Cuicaco, July 31.—The Morning Herald to-morrow will publish a crop summary for the northwest from which the following is the concluding para- graph: The winter wheat harvest pended and the crop is estimated to bo from 40 to 50 per cent., below the crop of last year, In localities where wheat failed wholly this year corn and other grains were put in, and fair re- sults may bo expected. In a portion of Towa and insouthern Minnesota the spring wheat crop is below the average, but in Nebraska and Wisconsin, north- ern Minnesota and Dakota the weather for three weeks has been exceptionably favorable and the promise for a good yield is excellent. The corn crop, which was backward and unpromising at the beginding of July, has made wonderful progress during the remain- der of the month. 1f there should be an unseasonable visitation of frost the quality and quantity of the crop will be fully up to the average, be- cause the increascd acreage n:fi more than make good any failures in locali ties by reason of floods or drouth. On the whole, therefore, the outlook for the farmer in the northwest and the whole range of business interests dependent upon hin is an exceedingly encouraging one —— Axrest of a Scout, Mexominge, Wis., July 31.—Buf- falo Charlie’s fellow scouts and blood- hounds failing to come to time and his movements taking & rather suspi- cious turn, he was put under arrest by Captain Doolittle yesterday at Camp Cody. Charlie now says the blood hounds have not left Fort Lincoln yet and the other scouts have gone to that point. He says he is known out west by the names of Buffalo Charlio, Charlie Lowis and Yellowstone Char- lio. He sent telegrams to Frod Sol oncyst, Portage, Wisconsin, and Licu- tenant Wallace of the 7th cavalry, Ft. Snelling, Minnesota, asking for iden titication.

Adjutant General Bryant, by order of Governor Smith, has recalled the Luddington guards from the pursuit of the Williams brothers. General Bryant does not believe the outlaws are in the woods, but have erossed over to civilization, Sheriff Doolittle, however, will con tinue the pursuit, believing he has the game bagged, A TRIO OF FIENDS. Spring Creek Camp Captured by Three Desperate Characters. Lawlessness and Crime of the Most Unprovoked and Inhuman Character. Gunnison News-Democrat. One of the most unprovoked and devilish outrages that have blotted the records of Colorado, occurred at the Spring creek mining camp on Tnursday night last. The news of it was brought to this city late on Satur- day night, and it is _hoped that the rufians who figared in it have been by this time captured and will be brought tuf’usticu. t will be remembered by the read- ers of the News-Democrat that Gov. Pitkin oftered a reward of &H00 for the capture of & man named Turnbull. Incited by this promised reward, three men from Buena Vista, or thereabouts, started out on Thurs- day last in search of Trumbull. 'They were, 1. N. Barrett, who at one time held the office of city marshal in Buena Vista, a mam named Buzzard, who lives at Old Man's ranch on the Cottonwood road, and a man named Ferguson, of whom but little is known. They had, ft appears, re- ceived information in some way that Turnbull was at one time a partner of a miner named Hughes, who now lives at Spring creek. Mounting their horses, the trio rode to Spring creck and knocked at the door of Hughes' cabin Npon showing himself Hughes was covered with three six shooters and was asked to deliver up his friend Turnbull, He replied that he knew nothing of the murderer’s whereabouts —*“The h—1 you don’t!" shouted Bar- rett, striking the poor mun a terrible blow over the head with the butt of his pistol. Hughes was then dragged from his house, and being securely bound was locked up in a small cabin. Having accomplished this work the three ruffians entercd the nearest sa- loon and drank themsclves into a frenzied condition. They then re- turned the cabin where they had left their helpless prisoner, and again demanded information of Turn- bull. The poor man who was suffer- ing severely from the blow he re- coived protested piteously that he knew nothing of the murderer, His denial only served to increase the drunken fury of his captors, who thereupon proceeded to beat him un- til he was insensible. Leaving him, they then entered a near-by saloon, and knocking down tho barkeeper secured two kegs of liquor, which they carried into a restaurant across the’ street, compelling the proprietor to tap the kegs and deal out the li?unr to them. By this time the whole town seemed to have been seized with a panic. One or two citizens made an effort to rosist the lawless- ness of the trio, but were prompt- be imagined, worked uptoa fever heat in regard to the affair, - Davenport's New Bishop.

National Amsociated Pross. New York, July 30.—Collector Robertson took possession of the cus- tom house to-day. Crazy Freak. An unfortunate fellow who is con- sidered light-headed made a spectacle of himself Saturday, by walking the lengthof the street car track along Farnham street, bearing aloft in one hand a green twig and in the other a bright horse shoe. He made his way to the office of the county clerk and depositing both on the floor near the door, started forth again without a word, Some one in passing through the oftice a short time afterward hand- ed around the eigars and the clork at once ascribed their good luck to the presence of the horse shoe. It will be kept as a relic. SAVING TIM By Lopping Off Six Miles of the O. & Bt. P. Road. E Mr. James P. Vincent, who has' charge of the work of straightening out what is known as the Florencs cut off on the Omaha & St. Paul road, was in the city Saturday. Inconversa- tion he said that the work would oc- cupy from now until December 1 at least. By the new route the dis- tance between Florence and Calhoun will be seven miles instead of thirteen as by the old route. The work on the new route was begnn about two miles beyond Florence and will nect again with the present road two miles this side of Calhoun. are just now engaged in a half mile cut, the apex of which is about seven- ty-three feet, and the average height thirty-three feet. Beyond this is another cut, the average of which is about twenty feet. The principal work of loading is now done by men, but machinery is being put up for that purpose. One of the principal reasons for doing away with the cut-off is that con- The men ly knocked down and kicked into submission. Presently from the door of the saloon the ruffilans discov- ered Col. J. B. Stone, who was enter- ing the camp on horseback. They immediately pointed their pistols at him and compelled him to halt. Just at this moment an old man who car- ried the mail to Spring creek came in sight with tho mail-bags flung over his shoulder. Forsaking Col. Stone, the trio halted the mail carrier, and tak- ing from him the small sacks pr ed to rifle it, putting such le they chose into their pockets, and throwing the others into the street They then compelled the terrified car- rvier' to hold "the letters by the corners above his head while they shot at them with their re- volvers, Not satisfied with this cruelty, Barrett seized the poor man by his long white beard and beat him mercilessly about the head. Tt being impossible for devilishness to go to greater length, the men then mounted their horses and galloped out of the camp. A short distance beyond the limits of the town they met Mr. Ben Beeson, who was upllnmnuhinu from the opposite side of the town with a team of pack mules. He was prompt- ly “held up.” Finding that he had no money the suffians compelled him to dismount and crawl on his hands and knees in the road, What other crueltics they might have practiced upon him, it 18 impossiblo to say, had not the appearance of another traveler, whom they mistook for the sheriff, caused them to beat a hasty retreat down the road. Mr. Beeson, after learning the particulars of their outrage at the camp, has- tened to this place with the news. Several upuciu‘ deputies, mcluding Mr. Beeson, were promptly sworn an a pursuing party was sent in search of the desperadoes. It is believed that they will be captured to-day, and it is very probable that if an_attempt for a considerable distance the grade runs about one hundred and twenty feot to the mile; by the new route it will be only sixty feet to the mile, S — A Fow Convent.

Donovan, John Rush and Chas. Han- loy. The ladies’ league starts out with favorable auspices and no doubt it will be an unqualified success, X s The Car Line Pro‘ect. “T am finding some difticulty in se- curing the §3,600 required by Capt. Marsh to run his street car line to the park,” said Mr. A. J. Hanscom to a Beg reporter yesterday. ‘‘However, T am still hopeful, and will push the thing through vigorously this week. The large property holders are not doing as well as T expected as a rule, but the smaller ones are. However, if T can raise within a tew hundred dollars of the amount, I will make up the balance besides my contribution of $1,600. Last year I found no par- ticular difficulty in raising $4,500 for the same purpose, and 1 shouldn’t have much in securing $3,600 this year,"” Stoaling Nowspapers. A six-year-old boy was before Judge Beneke on Saturday on the charge of stealing newspapers loft at the doors of private residences. Some newspa- per patrons have been considerably annoyed in this respect, but owing to the extreme youthfulness of the cul- prit the court decided to let him go after a severe lecture and a promise that he would not do so again. A LONG JOURNEY. That Some Fine Cattle Making. are There passed through the city yes- tordy, westward bound, seven as fine cattle as have ever been seen in Oma- ha. The cattle are of the Polled broed and were being shipped through from Scotland to the Sandwich Is- lands, They ware in charge of a man named Furguson, who cwned them. Ho is the proprictor of a ranch in the Sandwich Islands, and intends to breed pure blooded cattle. Each of the seven is valued at $1,000. They have already been six months on the road, having been quarantined over b months of the time in Boston. The animals present a very beautiful appearance. They are extremely mus- cular, without horns and are covered with a heavy coat of glossy black hair. Pure-blooded cattle of this breed readily sell for $1,000 and over. They have frequently taken the champion at English cattle shows. ' Their beef fotches more than that of Shot-Horns or Herefords, and the animals are hardier and easier kept. e CARD OF WANRING. I warn the public of this city and state against two young men who for the past few weeks limvu canvassed this city for copies, pretending they were in my employ. Both parties are base swindlers and imposters. I do not at present, nor have at any time, employed agents.
