MONDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1881.
THE PRESIDENT'S RELAPSE.
TIIU PHYSICIANS IN DO HIT.
OnlcU Trip of the Mirgeeim.
A Critical Day at the National Capital.
Yesterday was a very critical day in the the the
conditienof the distinguished patient at
Washington. The alarming symptoms of
Saturday led te the sending for the con
sulting surgeons. Dr. Frank II. Hamilton,
of New Yerk, received the summons at
his house at 1:30, p, m. It took him only
ten minutes te prepare for the journey.
He left the heuse at 1:40 with the remark
that he did net knew when the next train
would start, but that he would get a car
liage and go te the ferry se that he would
be ready te take it. The despatch, which
was brief, he took with him. He hasten
ed in a carriage te the Dcbresses street
ferry, whetc he learned that the first train
for Washington was ever the Pennsylva -nia
railroad at 3:40 o'clock. It would ar
rive in Washington at 10:20 o'clock, p. m.
Seme time was spent in inquiries as te the
departure of trains en the reads. Then he
crossed the ferry and entered the Jersey
City passenger waiting room, where he
was recognized while he was making in
quiries at the palace car window. Super
intendent Jacksdii, who was in his office
in another part of the depot, was sent for.
A very brief time sufiice.l te make him
aware of the Hit nation. He hurried away
from Dr. Hamilton, and seven minutes
later the latter was rushing out of the
depot en a special train. It was 2:17
o'clock p. m. when the depot master and
the train desp.it chers leeeived notice te be
spry, Unfei innately, none of the seven
new monster engines was en hand, but en
gine 1)15, one of the best of the ordinary
engines, with a five feet driving wheel,
was hitched te a new Kastlakc coach, and
at 2:54 it was run out of the depot. The
new East'ake coaches arc chiclly remarka
ble for tlicir high ceilings, their low and
comfortable seats, and for the elegance of
their panellings of light unstained maple
and ash. Each panel is carved after an
original design. They run very smoothly.
The special tiain would have had no
preference en the toad except for tele
graphic orders. TlicnOveuld have been
ordinarily en the south-bound track be
tween the time the dcspatclicr received
notice that the special was te start and
the time of iis expected arrival in Philadel
phia, seventeen freight trains and two
passenger trains. The freight trains were
all get out of the way one after another en
side tracks in time te allow the special te
rear past them without .slacking speed, but
the two passenger trains delayed the dot
ter fifteen minutes.
Nevertheless, he arrived at Philadelphia
at 4:45 p. m. The actual running time te
Philadelphia from Jersey City was, theie theie theie
fore, one hour and thhty-six luinut
Were the distance te Philadelphia ninety
miles, instead of eighty-nine miles, and had
the time been .sit minutes I s, the rate of
travel would have been a mile a minute.
It was thought that since there was only
one car, and that containing only one man,,
engine 915 was practically as geed as one
of the new engines. The engineer was A.
Vandergrift, and the conductor was II. W.
TIcadly.
At Philadelphia a step of en'y three
minutes was made te chane engines. Dur
ing that three minutes Dr. Agncw, the
ether consulting physician, who had been
made acquainted by telegraph of Dr.
Hamilton's movements, and who had net
been able te get an earlier tram te Wash
ington, get into the coach.
The two a 'ved in Washington at 7:50
p. in. A carriage was awaiting them, and
live minutes afterwards they were at the
White Heuse.
The two surgeons were met at the depot
by Dr. Blips, and were driven rapidly te
the White Heuse. On the way Dr. Bliss
acquainted them with the facts of the
situation which hail made necessary their
hasty summons. At that time Dr. B
thought the crisis passed. The physicians
tit their examination, about 0 p. m., had
inserted a llcxible catheter into the wound,
and pressed i'.. against what had been au
obstruction te the catheter inserted this
nierr'ng, and which had prevented its
further progress en the previous occasion.
With a very slight presMitc they were able
te work around the oust, action and open
a passage, whereupon there came quite a
free discharge of pus of a greenish color,
showing by its cliaractcr that it had been
gathering for some lime. There were,
however, no evidences of pyamiia, and the
physicians did net apprehend that it exists.
Immediately after this operation, the
president, who had been very restless and
in pain, was much ie''cvcd, and all the
symptoms became mere favorable, there
being a lowering in ?U the figures.
When the physicians get back te the
White Heuse at about 8 o'clock they found
their patient in a much mere favorable and
comfortable condition. The figures were
still high, but the conditions for recovery
seemed te be setting in again with encour
aging distinctness. Se favorable was his
condition that after a passing inspection
of the situation, all the doctors agreed that
it would be unnecessary and unwise te
excite the president and bring en inflam
mation by any surgical examination of the
wound. They, therefore, let the president
alone te curative nature, while in au adja
cent room they held a long and earnest
consultation, going ever ameug themselves
the whole history of the case since the de
parture of the visiting physicians up te that
time. It was decided as tiie result of thi3
conference net te disturb the patient, who
was new sleeping quietly, until the morn
ing, unless there should be some nnfaver
able developments which required prompt
and searching attention. This review of
the day may need no explanation te show
its significant character. The gravity or
the crisis was instantly apparent te all who
have followed the history of the wound.
The discharge of pus stepped. That was
the one great fact. It was attended by the
presence of symptoms which commonly
attend au unfavorable and fatal turn in
similar wounds. The pus must be gotten
out of the body at any risk, orclse it would
poison the bleed in its attempt te escape
through the system, and would result in
inevitable death te the patient. The symp
toms, which were rattier hinted at than
told in the " bulletin.", resembled these
which accompany this terrible pyiumia
The following arc the symptoms of that
disease, according te the "Mauual of the
Practice of Surgery," by Fairlie Clarke,
of the Charing Cress, hospital, Londen, a
standard authority :
' When a person-is about te be attacked
by pyaemia the wound usually becomes
dry and unhealthy. The pus wiitcu is
secreted is scanty and thin. At the same
time there is increased frequency of the
pulse and breathing. The temperature 1 iscs
and the patient has a rigor mero or less
distinct. This is seen followed by a
copious pcrpiratien and ceincidcutly the
I temperature falls. When the disease is
fully established the complexion is sallow
or leaden, the eyes sunken, the features
pinched, the tongue dry or brown, the pulse
quick and weak, the respiration hurried,
the breath has a faint sweetish odor, the
skin is moist, and after a well marked liger
it is bathed in sweat. There are occasional
shiverings, and wandering pains are felt
in various parts. With all this there is
great prostration and rapid wasting; and
a tendency te delirium. The urine often
contains albumen."
New, as a matter of fact, the pus, while
the discharge had net stepped entirely,
had become very scanty. There was in
creased frequency of pulse and breathing ;
the tcnipsrature had rapidly risen, and
the president had had three distinct chill.;,
followed in each instance by a perspiration
and a falling of the temperature. The
complexion had become, in the language
of Dr. Reyburn "dusky," the respiration
was hurried, and there was very great
prostration and considerable pain and
restlessness. Thus it will be seen that the
fear that this terrible and generally fatal
phase of the wound had come rested, te
say the least, en plausible grounds. But
happily, it can be said en the very best
authority that this dreaded turn of the
disease has net yet manifested itself.
As already noted, the distress and fever
of the pa tient seem te have keen due te
the simple accumulation of pus in the
wound, as is shown by the fact that en the
removal of this disturbing clement the
patient rapidly began te return te the
nearly normal conditions which have
marked his illness for the last few days.
At this hour, however, he lias net recov
ered fully, and it cannot be said that the
grounds of fear are entirely removed.
Midnight. The day is done and passes
away with the growing hope that the
worst is passed ; the. visiting physicians
have gene te bed and te sleep at Attorney
General MacVcagh's residence ; the presi
dent, under the iullucncc of morphine, is
resting tranquilly, and the attentive
nurses at his bedside are rejoiced te notice
the steady improvement in all the symp
toms. The doctors say little and leek
grave, but they think they iiave the
wound under control, and that all is going
well again. Certainly no positively bad
signs appear, and this, in the circum
stances, is cause for rejoicing. Had bleed
poisoning set in, as feated at ene time, his
condition would new be far different from
what it is, and far worse. In sheit, he is
distinctly better, and the town has gene
te bed with a feeling that the set-back
has befcn only temporary after all. The
examination atS o'clock in the meiuing
will probably tell the story one way or the
ether.
July 241 .v. M. At this hour the pres
ident's condition continues favorable. His
pulse has fallen te 100, and his "tempera
ture and respiration are lower. Drs.
Bliss and Reyburn arc watching te night.
The ether four physicians arc at home
asleep. The president is also asleep.
10 a. m. The president was mere rest
less than usual during the night and had
another rigor just before midnight. This
morning at 8:15 his pulse was 08, temper
aturc 93.4. respiration 18. A consultation
was then held with Dr. Hamilton and Dr.
Agncw, after which a coiiutcr-eponing
was made through the integument of the
back about three inches below tin wound,
which it isiiepcd will facilitate tiie drain
age of pus and increase the chance: of re
cevery. The president bore tfic operation
well. His pulse is new 112.

1:30 i. Jt. At this hour the president's
pulse is 102, which indicates a gradual
decrease of the fever. His temperature is
99.5, with respiration slightly exhiliarated.
He has taken a second allowance of beef
tea and seemed te relish it. He has been
resting very quietly since the operation
was performed, dozing at intervals. His
condition new shows very clearly that he
has experienced a reaction from the incis
ion and he is considered better attlrj pres
ent time than he lias been during the past
thirty-six hours.
5:45 p. At. The president is resting
quietly. He continues te sleep at intervals.
Mrs. Garfield just remarked that he is
feeling mero comfortable than he has for
two days. His pnlse remains at 102. Dr.
Agncw, who left for Philadelphia at 5:15
p. m., expects te return te Washington
te-morrow.
7 i m. The president has been much
relieved by the operation of this morning,
and the pus has been discharging satisfac
torily lis rough the new opening. At neon
te day his pulse was 118, temperature 99.8,
respiration 21. At present his pnlse is
101, temperature 9'J.2, respiration 23.

HOW HAYES ESCAPED.
THE STOKV OF TIIK ALLEGED AT
TEMPT TO ASSASSINATE HIal.
A Lumtlle Who Believed Hluisair the Right
ful President, and That He Had Been
Commissioned by Ged te Sheet
tiayen Hayes's Gratitude
totheAIan Who Saved
His Life.
New Yerk Sun.
On March 3, 1S77, there came te Wash
ington a man named Wm. 3Iyers. His
home was in Illinois. He was a man of
gentlemanly address and pleasing man
ners, and seemed te be about 50 years old.
He had with him quite a large sum of
money, all in geld. He registered at the
Imperial hotel, and was assigned te room
10. His appearance was quiet, and at
tracted no attention, cither en the part of
the proprietor or the ether guests. At
about 10 o'clock en the morning of March
3, ex-District Attorney Jes. E. Hay den
met Myers accidentally at the capitol.
Mr. Hayden had been employed in some
capacity in the Heuse of Representatives,
and, therefore, had the freedom of the
capitol. He was accustomed frequently te
show strangers ever the building, and it
was in that capacity, as a sort of guide,
that lie had met Myers. The appearance
of the man was se prepossessing, his man
ner se courteous and his conversation se
geed, that Mr. Hayden was astonished
when he discovered that he (Myers) was
of unsound mind. In walking through
the building witli MY"cis he asked Mr.
Hayden his name. " My name is Jeseph,"
Mr. Hayden replied.
"Ah," said Myers, "Ged has sent you
te me. Hew did you knew I desired te
see this building?''
Mr Hayden says that he thought at first
that Myers was simply playing a joke en
him, and he answered him, saying :
" Why, of conrse I knew what you
want, for, as you say, Ged has directed
you .te me."
Myers then took Hayden's arm and,
after some quiet conversation as they
weie walking along, they readied the ro
tunda. Myers turned te Hayden, saying :
"De you think you can decieve me,
Jeseph'.' Fer you have net shewu me
where my enemy will stand when he takes
the oath of office.''
Mr. Hayden saw at ence that the
stranger was net in his right mind, and
he determined te see exactly what he
meant. As Myers had spoken of his en
emy taking the oath et etlicc, Mr. Hayden
surmised that he desired te see the place
where Mr. Hayes would stand when he re
ceived the oath. Se Mr. Hayden said te
him:
"Oil. yes ; I had forgetteu that ;" anc'
he took Myers te the portico where the
platform was being built.
Myers walked nervously out upon it,
muttering something te himself and then
said te Hayden :
"New we will go te my hotel. "
Mr. Hayden says that lie did net pur
pose te de anything moie than show Myers
simple courtesies until this singular action
was manifested. He decided te go with
him te the hotel and i"iQ if he could
fathom what tiie strange man's purposes
were. They went te Myers's room, and
after he had locked the deer aud closed
the blinds .it the window, he put his
hands upon Hayden's shoulders aud said :
"Jeseph, Ged has sent you te assist in
the deliveralien of my country."
II? then took from his valise a singular
ly accurate drawing of the main fleer of
the Capitel building, and also had marked
upen.it the exact spot where Mr. Hayes
would stand when receiving the oath.
Myers pointed te that spot and said :
' Here's where I shall gather him into
the boneyard."
He then showed Mr. Hayden a ticket of
admission, which he had obtained from
one of the pages of the Heuse or Senate,
which would have admitted him te the
stand. Mr. 1 1.iydcn said that it then flash
ed upon him that this man was insane, erat
least had a delusion, aud that he had ceme
te Washington impelled by that delusion,
with the purpese of sheeting Mr. Hayes,
while In the act of taking the oath. While
meditating what was best te de, Myers
took from his pocket a twenty dollar geld
piece aud placed it in a conspicuous position
in one end of the room, went te the ether
end, turned, and, drawing a revolver from
his pocket, fired, the bullet hitting the
coin exactly in the centre. He then turn
ed te I laydeu and asked for his approval
of his marksmanship. Mr. Hayden has
the pistol at this day. AU of the bar
rels are leaded except the single ene which
was discharged at the geld piece Mr.
Hayden then became alarmed for his own
safety, and with considerable difficulty,
and only by humoring Mr. Myers in the
notion that he was his Jeseph, succeeded
in getting the revolver from him. Mr.
Hayden remained with Myers the rest of
that day, his idea being that it .was possi
ble that Mjcrs might be the tool of seme
conspirator. If that war, se he wished te
find put all the facts.
Mr. Hayden left Myers early en Sunday
morning, March 4, and went te the capitol
where the closing scenes of the clec total
count were being transacted. Hayden
said that, becoming satisfied that there
was no conspiracy, Ins began te study the
best method et taking Myers or the
prophet, as he called himself into custody.
Hayden felt turn under the pretence that
he would go te Baltimore and get Gov.
Carrell, a man in whom Myers had ex
pressed warm confidence, te ceme ever te
Washington and witness the prophet's in
auguratien. Mjers had told Hayden m
some of the conversations that he had been
commanded by Ged te de this act, and
that he was Geerge Washington s heir te
the presidency of the United States. Hay
den was only able te leave Myers, however,
by making the suggestion te him that he
needed rest iu order te successfully go
through the fatigues of the inauguration.
Te this Myers assented, and when Hayden
quit the room he locked the deer en the
outside.
Hayden says that he went at the earliest
possible moment te the police headquar
ters, where he met Detective James Mc
Devitt, who is still an officer in Washing
ton. McDevitt. in an affidavit, which is
new in Mr. Hayden's possession, and
which the writer saw, says that Mr. Hay
den came te the eifice, told the story of
this man, and desired that he betaken into
custody. McDevitt at once vrcnt with
Hayden, this being en Sunday morning,
for the purpese of arresting Myers. When
they entered Myers' rooms, Mr. Hayden
introduced Mr. McDevitt te him as the
private secretary of Governer Carrell, and
both suggested te Myers that he go with
them te see Gevcrner Cat-roll. By this ruse
they were enabled te get Myers into a car
riage 'and he was taken te' the police head
quarters. He was detained there for a
short time, and was pronounced insane
upon an inquisition made by Drs. Elliett,
Jehnsen and McKim, and en the inquisi
tion he was incarcerated in St. Elizabeth
insane asylum, where he was kept for ever
a month. He was then sent for safe keep
ing te Illinois, where he is new cenflucd,
still laboring under the delusion that he
was the rightful president, although he
has no very clear rccolleetion of what he
terms the fraudulent and dishonest means
that were taken te deprive him of his
office. .
The affair was kept very qniet at Mr.
Hayes's request,-In view of the excitable
state of public feeling at the time. But
Mr. Hayes seems, according te Mr. Hay
den, te have exhibited far less gratitude
than it would be supposed would be
shown by ene man te another who had
saved his life. Soen after Mr. Hayes was
inaugurated Mr. nayden went te the
White Heuso te intercede for executive
clemency for a client of his who was'beiug
criminally prosecuted. This occasion was
the first time that he had ever spoken te
Mr. Hayes of his service, ami at Mr.
Hayes's request he gave him a detailed
account of the affair. When he had done
Hayes said :
"I should like te Lave you take the
Blue Boek and select any reasonable office
within my gift, and I should be happy te
bestow it upon you."
Mr. nayden said that he told Mr. Hayes
that he had net come there te seek an
office and that he had net voted for him
for president. Mr. Hayes replied that
that would make no difference, and cave
him a sheet of his official paper and told
him te make au application. Hayden lias
this paper new. He did make an applica
tion for a position as special agent of the
po3teffico department It was en
dorsed by Mr. Haves, and he lias
this endorsement new. Mr. Hayden
did net receive the appointment, however,
but was recommended after a long time by
Hayes for a position as workman in the
treasury department, a position which, of
course, he did net accept. About a year
afterward Mr. Hayes recommended him
te Mr. Carl Schurz for a position in the in
terior department, and this resulted iu his
being appointed temporarily te a laborer's
position at a salary of $G0O, although the
duties were clerical, subsequently Air.
Hayden made application for a promotion
and sent the application te the president
for his endorsement. The president cti
derscd upon it the special request that it
have favorable consideration, and sent it
back te the depaitment. Mr. Hayden
still has this paper, which the writer saw.
The interest which these various papers
and recommendations have lies in the fact
that Mr. Hayes has recently denied ever
having heard of any such proposed at
tempt te assassinate him.
Mr. Hayden was in January, 1S79, ap
pointed te a position as copyist in the pen
sion office, aud subsequently was ap
pointed assistant United States district
attorney, a position which he resigned a
few months age. Mr. Hayden says that
seen after resigning he visited Mr. Hayes
at his home in Fremont, Ohie, some time
in April. Mr. Hayes talked with him ever
the service which he had done, and sug
gested that a word from him te Gen. Gar
field would procure him (Hayden) an offi
cial position which would enable him te
support his family without drawing upon
the estate of his wife, who is wealthy. Mr.
Hayden frankly confessed that he had an
ambition for a political life, and that a
position in kecniu'r with his years and
ability would have been gratifying te him.
Wh.cn he left Mr. nayes tha latter said
that while he did net desire Mr. Gar
field te pay his (Hayes) debts or
te be in the attitude of seeking te inter
fere with the appointments of the new
administration, he would be the friend of
the man who had saved his life. He also
suggested that Mr. Hayden lay the facts
of his scrvice before President Garfield,
aud intimated that he would privately
communicate with the president himself
upon his arrival in Washington. Mr. Hay
den called upon President Gai field, who
told him that he would very favorably con
sider any request, that Mr. Hayes might
make in his behalf. About ten days after
ward Hayden called upon Gen. Gariie'd
again and learned from Mr. Brown, the
president's private secretary, that Mr.
Hayes had written te the president con
cerning him, and that the president di
rected him (Crown) te s.iy that he did
net see-hew he could make any move iu
the. matter at present. Thereupon Mr.
Hayden asked Mr. Brown what Mr.
Hayes had said. Brown replied iu sub
stance that Hayes had written as fellows :
Mr. Hayden labors under the delusion
that he rendered me a great service by sav
ing my life. If this is true I can only say
that I never was apprised of it while ih
Washington.
Mr. Hayden, iu view e." the fact that he
had apprised Mr. Hayes of it, and that
Mr. Hayes had cast an imputation upon
his word of honor, and had put him iu the
light of a falsifier te Garfield, at once
communicated with some prominent mem
bers of Congress in fiis city, and at their
suggestion it is probable that a resolution
will be introduced next winter iu the Sen
ate, in view of' the recent attempt te as
sassinate President Garfield, for the ap
pointment of a committee te investigate
the facts in this case, net se much that
Mr. Hayden.; word may be vindicated as
that seme suggestion may be arrived at by
the committee forthe protection of presi
dents. These who are acquainted with
the facts in the Myers case the physician,
McDevitt and ethers bclicve that hfcd net

would certainly have made the attempt en
