The sonorous ex- periments were repeated by Mr. Painor, who obtained exuctly corres- ponding results. I am justified in rnnrlmrinu that the ball is located within the abdomen. This fact shows the ignorance of the actual shape and mode and presentation of the bullet exploring instrument. The depth at which the bullet lies cannot be de- termined. Avrex, Granam Beuw, MONDAY'S BULETINS. Wasmizaron, D. C., August 1. 8 a. m.—The president slopt well dur- ing the mght, and this morning is careful, and expresses himself as bet- ter than at any time since he washurt. After the slight riseot yesterday after- noon his temperature ~ became again normal early in the evening, and so continued. ~ He appears stronger and has evidently made good progress on the road toward recovery during the last fow days.

REYBURN, OFFICIAL, Execurive MANSIAN, 12:30 p. m,— The president’s wound continues to do well. At the mornidg dressing it was found to be in all respects ina satisfactory condition. After the dressing was concluded his head and shoulders were raised, in the same manner as yesterday, and he took solid food for breakfast with more rel- ish than he has hitherto shown. At present his pulse is 100, temperature 98, respiration 19, D. W. Buss, [Signed.] J. K. BARNES, J. J. WoODWARD, Ropr. REYBURN, F. H HaMiuToN, OFFICIAL. Exgcutive MANSION, August 1,7 p. m.—The president remained with his head and shoulders elevated until the time for dressing the wound this eve- ning. Iv continues to progress in a satisfactory manner and continues to discharge healthy pus freely from & deeperas well as a superficial portion, He has taken nourishment well and in sufficient quantity and in all re- spects continues to do well. The rise of temperature this evening is much improved this morning that it was dooilrod to make an examination with Prof, Bell’s inluction balance at once. Accordingly after the morning examination and before fresh dressing had been applied'te the wound the ex- riment was madeé~ Dis.”Agnew, Bliss, e, Woodward and Reyburn were presqnt. Prof. conducted the nxp-m riment 3 utludnw'm \ by Mr. lTsinor. on the ppr‘t;idellc'a ;‘fi?{:fix Al ‘l’;le(:lved slowly about, Prof. Bell holding the indicating telephone to his ear. When the plate came directly over the spot where the preliminary experiment had developed a slizht sensation on Sat- urday night the sensation was repeated more distinctly and decidedly. Prof Bell said he was satistied at once, and Mr. Taintor took the instrument and Zfound the same _indication. Both men had received the signal as the plate passed over the spot. The physicians were greatly pleased with the success of the experiment, more 50 as the indicator located the ball where they had suspectedits presence. Dr, Reyburn stated to the reporter that this location of the ball was in full a substantiating of the original diagnosis of the wound. The spot in- dicated is about 4§ inches to the right of the naval and below it. DR. HAMILTON EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE. New York, August 1.—An inter- view with Dr. Hamilton was pub- lished this morning even stronger in its statements than his dispatch to his wife on Saturday. He says emphati- cally of the president: ‘‘There is no reasonable doubt of his recovery.” “Will you permit me to ask one question. Do you think the president will be able to resume his duties?” “He will undoubtedly be able to resume a certain class of official duties within a week or two,” ““You mean that he will be able to attach his signature to papers, &c.” ““Oh, as far as that is concerned he 1-1 now perfectly able to do that.” THE PRESIDENT'S CASE during the past twenty-four hours has been one of continued restfulness, and the general comfort of the patient, taken together with the steady flow of laudable pus trom the wound, form the ground for the most sanguine con- fidence. Such confidence is now in- dulged in by all the physicians. Dr. Bliss reported this evening that if he continued to improve this way he would be about the room or sitting in a chair three weeks from yester- day. The only new feature in the day has been the experiment by Prof. Bell to locate the ball. The president fully recognized what was being done, but suffered no nervousness. REPORT OF PROFESSOR BELL, Official Report, ““Volta Laboratory,” 122 Connecticut avenue, Washington, August 1.—To the Surgeons in At~ tendance on President Garfield: GeNTLeMEN —1 beg to submit a statement of the results obtained with the induction balance in an experi- ment made this morning for the pur- pose of locating the bullet in the person of President Garfield. The instrument was tested for sensa- tiveness several times during the course of the experiment, and found to respond well to the presentation of a bullet a distance of four inches from the coils. When exploring the coils it passed over the abdomen where a sonorous spot was observed. In the experiments of July 26th a feeble tone was percepted, and the effect was audible a considerable distance around this spot. It sounds too feeble to be entirely satisfactory, as I had reason to expect. In order to ascertain whether similar sounds wight not be obtained in any localities, slight. At present his pulse is 104, temperature 99.5, respiration 20, (Signed) F. H. Hamirron, D. Haves AGNEw, D. W, Buss, J.K. BArNES, J. J.

No material change in his condition since official bulletin, Executive MaNsIoN, August 1, 12 m.—The slight febrile rise of the evening has subsided and the presi- dent is passing as good a night as any during his illness.

Panis, August 1.—Prince Jerome Napoleon, emerging from his long re- tirement, and seeing in the approach- ing elections anopportunity of testing the strength of the Bounapartists of France, has issued an appeal to the people in the form of a letter address- ed to “Fellow Citizens.” Tt appeals to the country to recall the glorious history of France during the rule of Napoleon I, , his immortal uncle. Also the wonderful prosperity of the country under his cousin, Na- poleon IIL {is cofitends that the mero title of government is unimport- ant. It should be a government whereby the destiny of France among nations can be best accomplished. The present government, he asserts, has not realized the expectation cher- ished for it. The so-called democratic progress deceives the country, en- courages the worst passions and dis- regards all principles upon which former prosperity was founded. The prince ends the manifesto by demanding a remission of the con- stitution, so as to admit a plebiscite to elect a chief ruler, a post to which he, as head of the Napoleon dynasty as- pires, The letter has produced a pro- found sensation throughout Paris, The radicals are terribly exasperat d and to-night are asking for the arrest of the/prince. Moderate republicans pretend to ignore it, Legitimists re- gard it with favors only hecause it an- noys the republicans and radicals. The Bonapartists who, since the kill- ing of the Prince Tmyrial, felt them- selves without 4 lesd&r,"welcome it as the first indication of a resurrection of their party. ENGLAND WILL NOT INTERFERE. LoxpoN, August 1.—In the house of cominons to-day Lord Hartington, secretary of state for India, said iv was not intended to give the ameer of Afghanistan any assistance, nor inter- fere in any way at present in the internal conflict now going on in that unhappy kingdom.

In the house of lords, Lord Carting. formerly Sir Chicester Fortescue and ex-secretary of Ircland, moved a second reading of the Irish land blll.

EVICTIONS IN IRELAND, Lonpox, August 1.—Official returns submitted to-day show that the num- ber of families evicted from their houses in Ireland during the three months ending June 30th was 1,065.

Another Railroad Accident in Mexico- National Amsociatod Press. Crry oF Mexico, August 1.—An- other accident has occurred on the Na- tional railway, which has created much popular indignation and may lead to new legislation The indignation against the engineer has assumed an exaggerated form. A misplaced switch on the Elsalto division of the Ntaional railway threw a train from the track last night, crushing the fire- man in such a manner that he died in a few hours. The engineer, al- though the reports do not say that he was at fault, was immediately arrested and thrown into prison ' pending investigation. He is an American, which may, to some ex- tent, account for the fact that all bail has been refused, although $30,000 security was offered for his release. The press condemp,the character of the recent railway construction and management, and demands the pas- sage by the national legislature of more stringent laws governing the railway traflic of the republic.

Arrest at Peoria, Ill., of Crowe, the Inventor of the Infer- nal Machines. HEach Machine Capable of Blow- ing up the Strongest Block of Buildings in the World., The U. 8. Marshal Refuses Bail in the Sum of $7,000 —Crowe Taken to Chi- cago for Trial. Full Description of the Infernal Machines. National Associnted Pross, Pronta. Ills., August 1. This noon while Patrick W. Crowe, inventor of the infernal machines that were re- cently shipped to England and which caused such commotion throughout the civilized world, was walking up Main street in this city, e was ar- rested by the Umted States marshal on orders from Wayne MacVeagh, United States attorney-general. Crowe took his arrest as a matter of course, The news was quickly spread abroad throughout the city nu([ created the reatest excitoment. A number of eading Trish citizens gaahiered and bail in 87,000 was tendered, but the mar- shal simply replied to all inquiries chat he would take no Dail and that Crowe must go with him to Chicago. Orowe was taken to Chicago m.m;fiz. He takes the affair very coolly. He has dispose. ot his business and avows hmis intention of raising an army a8 soon as he is liberated and continue the manufacture of the infernal machine. He says that ho sees in this the only possible way to right Ireland’s wrongs. Mr. Crowe is a quiet citizen, but on this subject he is a perfect enthusiast, One of the infernal machines designed to blow up England has been taken to The Journal office in this city from the boiler from where they were to be filled. They were cast in the foundry of O'Rourke Bros.,, and from there thirteen of them were taken to the boiler shop of J. Moore, near by, to have a stout cap of boiler iron put over the top. The machine resembles a shell in shape. It is ten inches long and six inches thick, hollow, with a shell two inches thick all around it. There is an_inch holo in the center of one end. The other end is conical in shape so that when standing on its ond it looks like a shell. Over the hole in the level end is a stout cap of boiler iron fitted carefully. The explosive material is placed inside shis shell, tha. fo ulu-udl,qm- tho set screws and the boiler plate and the whole left to do its work. Even if discovered it could hardly be deterred from executing 1ts purpese, for the set screws are 8o made that it is with difficulty that they can be removed, and it would be almost certain death to tamper with it. After it was set and ready for operation, the slightest jar would release the clock work and ignite the charge. It is computed that one of these machines would de- stroy a whole block of the largest buildings in the world, no matter how well built. Each machine contains a pound and a half of dynamite and an ounce and a half of tulminats of mur- cury. Crowe left to-night for Chicago to undergo his preliminary examin: tion, e The Peoria Disaster. National Associated Pross. Proria, Avgust 1.-—The coroner this morning began the work of - vestigating the case of the explosion at Woolner Bros.’s distillery Satur- day night. As near as can be ascer- tained the accident was caused by the engincer suddenly opening a four- inch steam valve to its fullest capacity, while at the same time the vapor escape, a twelve inch hole, was clog- ged. The following is a list of the killed, and those who have died since the accident: Max Woolner, Tgnatz Woolner, August Brief, Henry Goats, Charles Houpner, John Kirkland, Fred Voehl and William Voehl, The latter were boys ten and twelve years of age. The injured are Thomas Helair, of New York, badly scalded; Henry Williams, injured internall, William Rice, Sr, and William Rice Jr., both terribly scalded and bruis- od; August Stellar, the watchman, literally cooked and unable to apeak; Thomas Lamless, bruised by the de- bris, but may recover; August Riefler, a stranger in the city, scalded on the tace and hands. Thomas St. Clair and John Kirthland were here from New York for the purpose of supply- ing the distillery with a ‘new rectify- ing apparatus. St. Clair may recover, Thirteen of the fifteen men who were scalded by the distillery explo- sion on Saturday night are now dead. Wm. F. Cruger of this eity died this morning. e A Locomotive's Race With a Rep- tile. As the Shenandoah Valley fast ex- press entered the mile cut, immedi- ately north of our town, on Tuesday last, the engineer was horror stricken to see what he supposed to be the end of the rail just ahead of his rushing locomotive, sliding rapidly away from him. His first thought was a broken rail caught by the pilot, and he ex- pected an instantaneous shock. Won- derment usurped the place of fear when a second glance revealed a five foot black snake, of the specie known as “‘runners,” gliding rapidly away from him on top of the il In the excitement of the moment his hand sought the throttle, he threw it wide open, and the train bounded forward under the impulse; but the snake maintained its lead, although the train was running at fully fifty miles an hour, and when the end of the cut was reached, and an opportunity was afforded to escape, it left the *rail, ran out into an open space, coiled itselt up, threw its head NO. 36 into an attitude of defiance and died right there, An examination proved that the intense heat of the rail had burned it to death. i Missouri Pacifio Work: The Missouri Pacific road to Atchi- son has been located two miles from The contract for building all the bridges has been awarded along the route to different parties.

So the Commissioners Say of County Prisoners, For over a month past the thirty prisoners who have been confined in the county jail have had a fat thing of it. The chronic drunkard, sent to jail on account of 10 fine for intoxi- cation, found there more congenial quarters than he had been used to, with nothing to do and a fair share of food to eat. It is a wel known fact that at least one fellow has put himself in the way of arrest simply to be able to return to jail. The maintenance of such fellows as these has been a constant drain upon 3he county, for which their was no return of any kind whatever, The county commissioners have at length turned their official eye in the direction of Harney street hill and come to the conclu- sion that such prisoners as have stood a trial and been convicted must do some work. The labor in view is that of breaking the stone which is to form the concrete of the basement floor of the new court house. This is a labor, the commissioners think, that might just as well be performed by the prisoners as having the county pay extra for it. A competent man will be secured to take charge of them, and people may soon expect to see these men be- gin their geological studies. It is very probable that an average of twenty men a day can be worked im this manner. The chrenies will not hereafter take their way over the hill with such gleeful anticipations.
