REDUCED QUANTITY OF MORPHIA. ‘WasuiNGToN, August 4 —The re- duced quantity of morphia adminis- tered to tho president last evening Aid not seem to affect his rest. He slep as well as usual and this morning looks and feels better even than ves- terday. He has eaten a_solid break- fastand romained several hours sincein comfort. Dr. Hamilton saw the prosi- dent this morning for the first time in five days. He expressed himself much pleased with the progress of the case and said the wound was in condition, Dr. Hamilton has talked freely and frankly for the first time since he has been in attendance. He says: ‘‘The president is doing nicely. T am most_decidedly of the opinion that he will recover. The doctor re- mains as Atterney-General McVeagh's guest until Sunday, when Agnew re- turns. No examination of the wound will be made except morning and evening and nothing but the pulse of the patient will be taken between these hours WILD RUMORS. WasHiNatoN, D. C., August 4.— The fact that the president's physi- cians considered his progress toward convalescence 8o well established as to discontinue the issuance of the noon bulletins seems to have furnished a pretext for wild rumors abroad. There was little of the kind here but tele- - grams were continually received dur- ing the day by private parties and others in New York to the effect that rivate intormation from the White ouse went to show that the presi- dent was worse' again, Those who have been spending most of the time at the White House knew at once that there was no truth in these re- rts. The physicians were exceed- ingly vexed. They hastened to disa- buse the public of the idea that there could be no ofticial denial of the false rumors, The fact is the president has been doing fully as well to-day as any day since the, shooting, . There has not been the slightest unfavorable symp- tom, and he has been slowly and stead- ily gaining. There has been some com- ment by outside surgeons on the fact that the president’s pulse and tem- perature nave not been reduced to a normal conditien. The attending phy- sicians say the maintenance of those symptoms above normal is naturally to be expected. They are kept up, theysay, by the circulation to which the president is naturally subjected. His improvement since Monday has been marked and satisfactory, and the symptoms this morning were very good. Heis now taking more than the usual amount of nourishment, in- cluding steaks, milk toast saturated with beef juice, potatoes and a little coffee. is strength is increasing daily, and he is now able to do more in the way of turning himself and helping others to raise his body than the surgeons think it prudent to allow. He remained in a raised posi- tion nine hours to-day. He is reap- ing great benefit from his change, particularly as the heart has a freer action. THURSDAY'S BULLETINS, Execurive MANSILN, August 4, 8:30 a. m.—The president continues to improve. He slept well during the night, andZthis morning looks, and ex- presses himself cheerfully, Another satisfactory day is anticipated, At present his pulse is 90, tempera- ture 98 4-10 and respirationl8, The next bulletin will be issued this evening, and hereafter the noon bulletin will be dispensed with, (Signed) D. Haves AoNEw, D. W. Brss, J. W. BArNEs, J. J. WoopwaARD, R. ReYBURN OFFICIAL, WASHINGTON, August 4—7 p. m,— As the morning bulletin indicated that such would probably be the ecase, the president has passed another good day without a drawback or unpleasant symptom of any kind. He has taken nourishment and shows little fatigue after dressing of the wound and changes of position. The wound is doing well, both in appearance and in the character and the amount of the discharge. At 12:30 p. m. his pulse was 96, temperature (?8,4, respiration 18. The afternoon rise of tempera- ture came on late and was moderate. At 7 p. m. his pulse was 102, tem- perature 100.2, respiration 19, (Signed) . H. Hamiroxw, D. W. Buiss, J. N. Baknes, J. J. Woobwakp, Rosr, REYBURN, WasHINGTON, August 4—12 m,— The president’s condition is in every way as favorable as at .the same hour last night, with the addition of the effect of twenty-four hours steady progress toward recovery. GUITEAU QUIET AND INGFFENSIVE, . WasmiNaTon, August 4.—Guiteau is described by jail attendants as oue ood | ¥ of the most rfl iet and inoffensive pris- oners in jail. Whenever he knows what is_wanted of him he complies cheerfully and never utters any com- plaint. Ho slecps well and does not appear at all stricken with remorse. All his wants are attended to in his cell. His hair and beard was trimmed by an attendant. He does not appear over particular as to food, the only point he insists upon being that he shall not be servod with fat meat, so a prece of lean is handed out him. He relishes his food and seems per- fectly contented with his meat, vread and coffee. THE DOCTORS BLISS TALKS, WasHiNGToN, August 4, Bliss authorizes the statement that the president wa. better at 2 p. m, to-day in every respect than at the same hour on any day since the shooting. The president's tongue has a cleaner look and his appetite for sound food is increasing, “Do you think him out of danger!” was asked. “I think he will get well, but don't consider him ont of danger."” “Is there not & general improve- ment?” ‘‘Yes, indeed, he grows better every day. He is getting along about as fast as he was yesterday and is better.” DR. HAMILION CONFIDENT, gratitude for the prosident’s escape by decking their dwellings with flags, &o. Public buildings were handsomely decorated and on all sides there were indications of rejoici The_display of fire works this evening was very fine.

OHIO PROHIRITIONINTS, Corvmnus, August 4.—The prohi- bitionists met in state convention to- day with about 125 delegates present, Rev. J. 8. Mills, of Westerville, per- manent chairman; Prof. J.W. Sharpe, of Delaware, secrotary. The usual committecs were appointed and the convention adjourned until 1:30 p. m, It is probabfe, but not certain, that the Loveland ticket and platform will be endorsed. There is much ef- fort made for a separate ticket and platform to be adopted. Corumsus, 0., August 4. The pro- noon session nomiinated a full state ticket which corresponds with the Loveland ticket except for attorney The plain language of Dr. Hamil- ton to-day has a remarkable reas- suring effect. hen asked how the patient was, he replied: “‘Oh, he is doing very nicely, and he will recover.” “Does he look any better than when ou last saw him?" ‘“Yes, he looks better, but therehas been no particular change in his con- dition. g—lin face_will hardly regain a natural appearance until he gets out of doors.” “When will that be?" “That is a matter of conjecture as yet, but it will not be a long time be- fore he will be able to bear removal.” ““Then you think he will get well?” continued the inqairer. “T have no doubt of it." Dr. Hamilton said there was no truth in the story that the president was aflected by malaria. He was asked if the stories as to to there be- ing 80 much malarial sickness in the house were true. He said in a posi- tive manner that there was no mala- ria in the president’s symptoms. When asked about the wound, Dr. Hamilton said: -**It is in & very good condition and looks very well.” “Is it healing in remote portions?”’ “That I can’t say. We don’t know that it is healing thege without a better knowledge of a deeper portion of the wound than we now., have. We can't say that it is healing there.” ““Are there any signs that the ball 18 incisting or not!” “I can't say as to that. We don’t know whether itis or not.” DR. RAYBURY. Dr. Rayburn« one of .the reasons for dispensing with the noon bulletin was because they could not find a new expression. He had noth- ing to say but that he was slowly im- proving. He said the wound was dis- charging healthy pus freely and gran- ulating rapidly. The probabilities are that the ball is becoming encist- ed. Anyhow they had no apprehen- sions of any immediate trouble on that score. MISCELLANEOUS. TO BE PLACED ON THE RETIRED LIST. WasHiNaToN August 4.—Rear Ad- miral Donald McN.

Special o The Cincinnati Commercial, INpiaNarouts, Ind., August 1.— Quietly on the heels of last night's murder at the German park, follows another tragedy, which occurred at 6:30 this p. m., resulting in the death of two brothers named Carney, both from Cincinnati. These two men whose names are John and Thomas, agod respectively twenty-five and twenty, behaved in a very abusive and threatening manner towards the driver of a Pennsylvania car, upon which tha{ rode towards the Expouiliun building. When they reached the end of the line they remaided in the car and con- tinued the use of violent language and said they wanted to thrash the driver, who, according to the statements of persons who were near enough to hear what transpired, kept his temper until they threatened violence; finding, however, that the two men were like- ly toget the better of him, and be- lieving that their object was to rob the money box of the car, he drew his pistol on them and fired four times. John Carncy was killed in- stantly by a shot which, entering un- der the chin, tore away a great part of his skull, and his brother received a fatal shot in the breast, from which he died about an hour afterwards, The driver's name is Wm, H, Col- lier. He bears a good character, and is_generally exculpated by all the witnesses of the occurrence, John Carney, just before he died, said: ““If T had had a chance I could have whipped that man, but T don't want him to be blamed for killing me. He was not to blame.” The Carneys have been employed as hostlers in several stables in this city, and John has been here about seven ears, The other came here last arch from Chicago, where he had worked in a restaurant, They were both rough characters Bremner s Creaw Soda Crackers at Jylot&sdw Woeimer's, BEE. » iuuc' -FL.

Forr Yares, D, T., August 4.— Through the aid of Beout Allison, who is thoroughly familiar with the Sioux languarge, an extended inter- view has been secured with Sitting Bull, the ex-warrior.

What He Has to Savy About the New Court House, Tn conversation yestorday morning County Commissioner Drexel told a reporter that the old plan for the pro- posed county court house if carried out, could not cost less than £200,000 at the present rate of labor and price of materiale. Tt would take some timo yot, he said, for the architect to 8o modify his plans a8 to meet the requirements of the cheaper building and of courso until these were received no more bids could be advertised for. When the plans were made oviginally it had been caleulated by the architect that the building could bo ercoted according to thom at a cost of £1560,000. Many compiled statutes, and until the civ ¥ had passed such ordinance they had no authority to take any action in the matter of application for such license. Guy A, Broww, Clerk Supreme Court.

Raveen, N. C., August 4.—The vote on the question of prohibiting the manufacture and salo of spirituous and malt liquors in this state is in progress to-day. The indications are of nfl:ht vote, which means the defeat of pro- hibition, The colored people, with the exception of localities where churches have taken an interest, are voting against it. As a party ques- tion the democrats favor prohibition and the republicans oppose, but, ex- cept negroes, {ndividuals cast their votes without segard to party declara- tion. Sohaol of Sharks. Natlonal Amsociated Pross. New Yonk, August 4.—A large school o sharks made their appear- ance in the North rivor Sunday last and th.ay haye since been seen daily from terry UM lsgping from the water Li ing, They have othor for the past thred days, One eight foet long and another seven feot in length have been captured by fish- ermen.

Cwicaco, August 4.—A young man named Robt. Haltinger was found dead in bed this morning, Upon in- vestigation it was discovered that he had taken a dose of morphine, wnd administered the samo to his sweet- heart, Kate Hill, who, it is feared, will not survive The cause of the suicide was the opposition of pa- rents to their love aflair. TURNING TO ACCOUNT The B8hortcomings of Men to Beneflt the Schoo! Fund. The fines collected in the police court for s month in all the petty casen that come before it will average about $650. This money is now turned into the county school fund, Previous to Judge Beneke's term the money went into the city school fund but as he construes the law the coun- ty fund is the proper place for it, and consequently it goes there, Of those arrested for dunkenness probably less than forty per cent on the average, pay the 810 and costs imposed under the provisions of the Slocumb law, After a pay-day a good many are found able to pay up, but at other times there are remarkably few, A rather peculiar fact in this connection is the few people living in Omaha who are arrested for drunkenness. About ninety per cont, of those ar- rested tor being drunk come from outside the city, Whether the small number of Omaha people arrested for the offense is due to the fact that little drunkenness prevails among acclimated citizens or whether it is for the reason that everybody here knows and re- spects the law, are problems, but the fact that few Omaha people are caught remains the same, AL No Good Preaching No maun can do a good job of work, preach a good sermon, try a law suit well, doctor a patient, or wnte a good article when he feels miserable and dull, with sluggish brain and unsteady nerves, and noune should make the at- tempt in such a condition when it can be 80 easily aud cheaply removed by a little Hop Bitters.—[Albany Times, al-sld people, the commissioner said, had apoken to him about the matter at the timothe bonds were being voted. They said they were in favor of voting the bondsprovided they would cover all ex- penses attached to putting up the building, but they were afraid they would not. ““I pledged my honor to them,” said Mr. Drexel, ‘‘that the cost would not exceed that amount. Now the chances are that it will, be- cause of the increased cost of labor and material, ar d I want to hear what the people have to say about it before Imake up my mind definitely. This is only my own view of the matter.”” gl SORROWFUL SIGHT. A Poor Girl's Shame and Con- sequent Suffering. A chilling picture of desolation and misery was witnessed at the court house yesterday. A young and pretty girl, scarcely out of her teens, dressed with an unusual display of taste, walked 1nto the county clerk’s office and inquired for one of the commissioners. She met Mr. Drexel to whom she gave the merest outline of a story of trusting confidence and guilessness on her part and base deception on tho part of a male scoundrel. She told her pitiful story with much hesitation and every evidence of how keenly she felt her position and concluded hy asking for an ordor admitting her to tho county poor house.
