The President's Condition.
Since Ms removal to Long Branch
the President has seemed to gain a little
and the chances for his recovery are
brighter. But he Is yet In a very preca
rious condition. The latest news we
can get Is up to midnight on Sunday
night.
Elueron, Bept. 11th, 11-.10 P. M.
The President has passed a quiet day al
though his temperature has been higher
and nis pulse more frequent. At the
evening dressing quite a large slough of
connective tissue wns removed from the
region of the Parotid (.Hand. He con.
tlnues to take sufficient nourishment,
and eujoyg it. At the evening examina
tion, Pulse 110, Temperature 109-0,
Inspiration 20.

There is such a glut In the grain
market In Baltimore that extra storage
is charged by the ltallroad Co., and In
Philadelphia the Heading road gives
notice of extra charges on all grain re
maining in the cars after the 15th Inst.
The trouble is for dealers to find Btorage
for the enormous quantity that Is being
received.
Ox Wednesday night a train was stop
ped by train robbers about 15 miles from
Kansas City. The express messenger
refusing to give up his keys was badly
hurt, and they were then taken by force.
The passengers were also robbed, several
men preceeding with shot guns followed
by others who collected the plunder and
they In turn were followed by armed
men. It was one of the boldest robber
ies on record. tThe governor of Mis
souri has called out a special posse who
will try and exterminate these rascals.
" It is said that an understanding ex
ists among the four physicians con
stantly in attendance on the President
respecting their fees. They haveagreed,
it is said, to charge $100 a day -each. It
is also said that Dr. Agnew will charge
$1,000 for each visit, and $5,000 for each
of the two surgical operations which he
has performed, besides consultation fees,
while Dr. Hamilton will also charge
$1,000 for each visit aud consultation
fees."
We don't know how much fact there
is in the above, but if it is true, we
would as soon fall into Oulteau's hands
as Into the hands of these doctors.
An Important Law.
From and after September 1st the act
No. 73, approved by the Governor on
the twenty-ninth day of June, 1881,
makes It unlawful for any persou, firm,
company, corporation or association, to
pay their employees for work or services
with orders, and any firm paying in any
other way than by lawful money of the
United States or by older shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be fined in any sum not exceeding
one hundred dollars which shall go to
the common school fund.
The train which took the President
to Long Branch, made at the rate of
seventy miles an hour on several occa
sions where there was a straight stretch
of track, and the motion of the car was
scarcely perceptible. Such a fact speaks
volumes for the management of the
road. The engine was furnished with a
new muffler to prevent the noisy escape
of steam, and a pilot engine, with ex
perienced engineers, preceded the Presi
dential train by half a mile, bearing a
signal previously arranged, which was
thoroughly understood by all station
agents, telegraph operators along the
line, and all conductors and engineers
were specially notified to look out for
this. During the trip not an incident
occurred which conflicted with the ar
rangements made; not a train was
moving as the Presidential train passed
it, so that no unnecessary jar should be
felt, and yet tuo other trains all arrived
. at their usual schedule time. We do
not think any other railroad corpora
tlon in the world could have done what
was done by the Pennsylvania R. R.,
Company on this occasion.
State Convention.
On. Thursday last the Republican
State Convention for the nomination of
a State Treasurer convened in Harris
burg. There was a full representation,
and but one contest for seats. George
Lear, of Bucks county, and M. S. Quay,
Philadelphia, were placed in nomination
for temporary chairman of the Conven
tion, and M. S. Quay was elected, by a
vote of 102 to 83. Mr. Quay was conduct
ed to the chair by Messrs. Lear and Gil
flllan. Temporary secretaries were elect
ed, when committees were appointed on
contested seats, resolutions and perma
nent organization, consisting of one
from each Senatorial district.
General Harry White was made presi
dent, and mAde a short address, The
convention then took a recess to await
the report of the Committee on Resolu
tions. Upon reassembling, resolutions were
adopted and the following candidates
were placed In nomination for the office
of State Treasurer : General S. M. Bally,
of Fayette county, and V. T. Davles, of
Bradford.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Bally, 157 ; Davles, 84. The nomination
of Bally was then declared unanimous,
and tho Convention adjourned sine die.
The President's Ramoval.
On Tuesday Inst the preparations for
removing the President to Long Branch
were completed, and the trip was made
without any mishap whatever. The rail
road ofilclals had cleared the track, and
the Presidential train had the right of
way. At precisely 5:40 A.M. the President
was carried from the sick room to the
express wagon, which hud been backed
up td the steps of the front portico, by
Doctors Bliss, Reyburn, and Boynton,
General Bwalm, Colonels Rockwell and
Coibin, and C. O. Rockwell and Warren
Young, who remained with the patient
during his removal to the depot. The
President was reclining In a peaceful
position on the bed upon which for so
many days he had been suffering and
fighting for life. His right hand was
laid upon his breast, while his left arm
was stretched at full length upon the
coverlet. His high forehead was covered
with a linen cloth, and his features,
though emaciated, wore a patient and
resigned expression. A small platform
had been erected from the portico to the
wagon, and across this the bed was ten
derly and carefully carried and deposited
on the wngou. There was no delay
whatever In the transit, and when the
horses were hitched to the vehicle and
Btarted at 6:50 for the depot, a feeling of
relief took possession of the by-slanders,
for In the opinion of many the most
perilous portions of thejourney had been
accomplished. The conveyance was pre
ceded to the depot by carriages contain
ing the remaluder of the party which
was to accompany the President to Long
Branch. As the express wagon moved
away from the Executive Mansion the
President feeblybut cheerily lifted his
left hand and waved a farewell to the In
mates of the house who hud assembled
on the porch to wish him God speed.
Wkst Philadelphia, September 0.
Passengers on the presidential train say
that the speed over the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore division of
the road approximated forty- nine miles
an hour. When the president was in
formed that more than one-half of his
journey had been completed, he seemed
greatly pleased, and said this was de
cidedly themoHt interesting day of any
since he was Bhot.
Long Branch, September 6. The
exact time of the arrival of the train at
Elberon wns nine minutes after 1
o'clock, New York time. At twenty
minutes after the president was in his
room. His pulse at this time was 102,
which was a source of great satisfaction
to the physicians. His windows look
out upon the ocean, not over 100 feet
away, and by opening windows and door
the breezes from the east, south and
west can blow in upon the sick man.
To-day the promise of fair weather 1b
good, and the sound of the sea comes In
over the shore on breezes laden with
tonle saltness. The president's car ap
proached the cottage from the west and
passed around to the eastern ocean front
of the house. The railing of the broad
piazza had been taken down and the
president was carried on his bed through
a large double window into the dining
room, and thence into the large hallway
to the front of the broad staircase. The
staircase is of easy ascent with two land
ings. The room at the head of the
stairs had been taken out, so that the
bed could easily be carried up into this
room, which is handsomely furnished,
Just as Mr. Francklyn's family left it
recently. Fully two thousand persons
assembled in the neighborhood of the
Francklyn cottage, many of them hav
ing taken places from which they be
lieved an hour ago that they would be
able to see the president carried into the
house. Their hopes were dashed by the
appearance of a gang of men at 10
o'clock bearing an awning borrowed
from the surrounding cottages, with
which a covered passage way was quick
ly built from the door on the piazza to
the track. The total distance is 23o
miles, and the average running time
was thirty-seven miles per hour, which,
embracing stoppages, is equal to more
than forty miles per hour for the entire
trip.
The Iron and ties for the railway from
the station were delivered before 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, at very Bhort no.
tlce, and was at once sent out for volun
teer teamsters. With hardly any ex
ception there was an instant response,
and long before dinner time thh-ty or
forty wagons with Long Branch team
sters were hoisting iron aud ties.
Boarding house men left their guests to
take care of themselves, and farmersi
did not stop to feed their horses, but
quietly Joined the members of the Presi
dential bee.

Jokers Come to Grief.
Some practical jokers got more than
they bargained for at Hemlock Lake, a
little summer resort In Northern New
York, the other day. Htopplng at one of
the hotels was a young nmn who was
somewhat boastful of his adventures and
of the courage he had displayed on sev
eral trying occasions. The other young
men of the hotel made a laughing stock
of him and resolved to humiliate him
for what was, after all, a little harmless
lying. The opportunity came when the
supposed braggart Invited a young lady
to take a carriage ride with him. The
practical Jokers, disguising themselves
with masks, hid themselves in a lonely
spotou the road, and as their would-be
victim passed, rushed out and demanded
his money or his life. They got neither
but one received a bullet In the body and
another had his arm broken by the same'
unerring aim. There will be no more
practical jokes played at Hemlock Lake
this season.
Sad News for the Wife.
Lancaster, September 7. A snd ac
cident happened on the Pennsylvania
railroad at Leaman Place this morning.
Just as the fast line train was leaving
the depot Alexander Gray, an official of
the Western penitentiary, Allegheuy
City, who had got oir the train, tried
to board it as it was pulling out and
made three attempts to do so, and fulled,
the third time fulling under the cars,
which passed over his right leg, crush
ing It terribly. The unfortunate man
was taken In charge by Dr, Leaman,
who accompanied him to this city and
took lilni to the hospital, where he died
at 10.;t0 o'clock. Mr. Gray was on his
way to New York, where he was to meet
his wife, who ha3 just returned from
Europe after an absence of three months.
Forest Fires.
Osukoo, Sept. 0 The fires In the
swamps aud meadows near Carthage,
Jefferson County, New York, reached
Mullins settlement, sweeping up to the
hamlet with such rapidity that the in
habitants barely had time to escape alive.
The houses of John Shaver, Joseph
Hickey, James Bray, David Perigro, Mr.
Thomas, and Mr. Riley were destroyed,
with their contents. James Walsh sav
ed his buildings, but is shockingly burn
ed, and probably will Iobo bis eyesight.
Mr. Shaw and sister fought the flames
until their clothing took fire, Shaw fled,
and his sister was burned to death. Mr.
Perlgro's arms were burned so that they
will have to be amputated. One man
saved bis life by taking refuge in a well.
Flocks and herds were overtaken, and
many of them burned to death. The
woods and fields are Btrewn with the
charred carcasses of small game.
Bereft of His Bride by Violence.
A rather ludicrous affulr occurred
down in Harris county Georgia recently.
A negro procured a license to marry and
paid therefor. $1.50. He also procured
the services of a colored minister at $2.50.
The ceremony was duly performed, and
while the happy couple were engaged in
receiving congratulations of friends, a
former lover of the girl quickly stepped
up, drew a dangerous looking pistol,
told the girl she had promised to marry
him, and that she must come tight to
his home. Fearing that she might be
killed should she decline to obey, the
puzzled bride responded to the demand,
leaving the happy groom minus $1 and
a bran new wife. -
