GENERAL GRANT SINKING,

Bulletins.

MT. MCGRT&OB, N. Y,. July 21.— 7:45 p. m.-^eneral Grant seems to be flinging.,

S p. m.—General Grant is sitting $he cottage parlor, his family and doctor near and the nurse fanning him. 11 p. m,—No change at the cottage from last bulletin. 11:30 p. m.—General Grant has just ?4old his family that there is no necessity •of their sitting up any longer to-night. There seems to have been a secon^ rally.

July 22,1 a. m.—Dr. Douglas states at this hour that since his rally General Grant has received a hypodermic injection Of braady. This .has brightened him." His pulse is now quite regular and shows some firmness.- He is naw awake and perfectly conscious. The rally, however, was i&ade without any stimulants. Indeed the general refused it when offered.' An effort will be made, and will be made, to tide over the general till the arrival of U. S. Grant, jr.

Tlie Day 011 the Mountain.

MT. MCGREPOII, JNt. Y., July 21.—The fatigue that followed his ride yesterday afternoon was se great that General Grant slept eight hours of almost natural sleep during the night. After taking food at 11 o'clock, he was awake scarcely, an hour, and slept continuously and with good effect froio midnight until after 4 o'clock this morning. At 8 o'clock he aroused, but is yet dozing through the forenoon. The pulse this morning is more frequent, and somewhat weaker than last night. Gen. Grant has remained in his room to-day. The lingering effects of his ride yesterday and the heat of to-day have rendered 'him more listless.

Though General Grant was greatly exhausted by the iolting ride in his bath chair Monday, it was believed this morn ing that the 8 hours of natural sleep obtained by him last night had restored a portion of the energy lost by him during his outing. The belief that the General had in a measnre recovered from his undue fatigue was supported by a refreshed and somewhat brighter appearance. His pulse had scarcely the volume at 11 o'clock last night, and as the morning wore on the doctor thought he had detected evidence of a feverish condition of the patient, but the forenoon was passing so quietly as to give strength to the belief 'that the general was resting and further recuperating from the fatigue which had been undertaken at his solicitation by his expressed desire and after an assurance by himself that h'^ strength was equal to the accomplish^g^ of his purpose, but toward there grew in the physician's mir"

ronv,v.

tion, at the time unex^re6sed)

that the

dozing quietude of pat{ent was more that of extreme growing lassitude than of restj impose. At midday there

.s-ight change in the sick man's concision, which was marked by increased Weakness and less cognizance of what was going on about him. This change was so slightly marked, however, that no' unusual alarm was felt by the family, although it was deemed advisable to report the same to Dr. Douglas, who at the time was at the hotel. Accordingly, Mr. Jesse Grant walked up the slope to speak to the doctor, who then came aown to the cottage. The general was less quiet, though he desired rest. He told the doctor that he had declined alcoholic stimulants because he believed they served only to heat his system, without imparting strength. He expressed himself as feeling that he could endure his condition of weakness but a short time longer, and then requested the doctor to administer a hypodermic injection of morphine. Dr. Douglas was not much inclined to grant this Cequest, because be believed the rest produced by artificial means would teo rapidly drain the vitality of the patient. Besides this, a lethargic tendency was developing in the case which also influenced the doctor against giving morpliine and more than this Dr. Douglas preferred that his patient should take food rather than opiates and requested the general to do so.. The sick man however declined and insisted 011 the administration of morphine. At length to'satisfy him Dr. Douglas gave potion of

contain three minimums of the drug. As

a fact that quantity was not given but a slight portion diluted in the usual three drops of liquid was injected into the general's arm. Then the general grew more quiet and seemed to sleep. The doctor left the cottage and reported his patient exceedingly weak. The quietude however was not protracted.

It has since transpired that the general was attacked this forenoon with hiccoughs, and this disturbing and rapidly weakening significant factor was piesent in the afternoon and with added frequency. The sleep which followed the giving of morphine as stated was followed By renewed hiccoughing. Attemps were made as the afternoon was waning to give the general food. He joined in the endeavor but the quantity retained was small. When the (current of "a goblet full of the liquid was passing the general's throat, its own weight distended the throat and the food passed down, but when the few meuthfuls were being drained from the glass the weight and fullness of the liquid was not sufficient to distend the parts and they closed because the muscular power of the throat was insufficient to keep an open passage. The result was a season of choking and coughing with the injection of a part of the liquid at the close of each attempt to administer food. The condition of the general may be appreciated when it is Known that within, perhaps, fifteen minutes aiter an attempt to administer nourishment to him the general would suddenly look up with a momentary expression of bewilderment and inquire of his attendant "when are you going to give me that food." A half hour might elapse and then the general would glance up as though having forgotten something he would have remembered and ejaculate the question, "when are you going to give me the food you spoke of?" and when told that he had just received food but that more would be g«Vvenii

if desired, the general would again fall into a half unconscious dose and mutter "never mind, never mind." The afternoon was sultry and almost breathless, witfy the mercury as high as 85. There were no reviving.elements in the air, and the pun went down after a day of stifling discomfort even to persons in good health. The general remained in his room, and was not dressed during the day. He did not move, except to rise when the pillows kept constantly beneath him to prevent bed sores were beaten

and aired. Several time?., he walke feebly to the cot in tike "sick room while his wresting r.'iace was being thus aired and freshened. So the afternoon wore on aijd sit 6 p. Hi. Dr. Douglas came to the hotel to dinner. The family were then fining. Dr. Newman came up the mountain on the train at 6 35 p. m. He joined the general's family at table and Dr. Douglas reported the general's condition. He said the patient was in a critical condition and he would hazard no prediction of the future, not even of the night. Dinner concluded, Dr. Newmon and Dr. Douglas returned to the cottage. Alight breeze had sprung up with the going down of the sun and hope was expressed that the cooling air of the evening might revive the general. Colonel Fred Grant had been at the cottage but a little while after his return from dinner when he was said to have expressed the belief that his father would not survive the night. The family were conscious that a critical sea son was near and suspense and illy concealed anxiety prevailed in the cottage. Col. Grant gave orders that all manuscripts and literary effects at the cottage should be at once packed up and made, safe as no more work on the general's memoirs would probably be done there. Twilight was deepening into dusk when hurried movements were seen within the cottage.. Servants flitted from room to room. Dr. Douglas was with the general and family at alternate intervals and some event seemed imminent. The nurse was seen to wheel one of the general's large chairs from the sick room to the cottage parlor. Dr. Douglas and Colonel Fred. Grant soon supported the general from his apartment and settled him in the great chair that the nurse had cushioned with pillows. Mrs. Grant took a place beside her husband and fanned him almost constantly. Dr. Douglas when asked said the general had been brought into, the parlor so that he might benefit by freer air, but though the general was coherent when he spoke in whispers, he spoke but little and was sinking surely. The dusk had given way to night. The general seeming to take little note of occurrences about him, still sat with his face ,to the'door while the nurse and Mrs. Grant waved fans before his face.' Critical moments were passing. U. S. Grant, jr, was called by wire and all felt the end might at any time occur. General Grant whispered to Mr. Newihan soon before 9 p. m. and asked him to. offer prayer. The "clergyman knelt beside the general, and offered prayer, while the family and doctor stood about with boWed heads. For an hour the. patient's pulse was fluttering and weak, but soon after 9 o'clock it steadied and grew a shade firmer. Then he lowered his feet and crossed his knees. Next he raised his hand to his face and rested his cheek against it.

Dr. Douglas was beside him and as tJi«»se changes occurred he glanced ur significantly into the faces of tb^ family assembled about the cha»j. Finally as the hour of 10 o'clock came General Gr^ ,t ]0oked up and spoke to h^'o daughter Nellie. Then lie j£dirJtfted a purpose to write, and did so. xnese were instructions for his family. Handing one note to Colonel Fred, the general looked up into his face with large eyes that had in them a pitiful expression. "I have alread tended to that, father," colonel as he bent over the general. The general addressed other members of the family. The pulse w*s growing steadier and the night had passed beyond 11 o'clock and a half hour later the sick man demonstrated that he ife a general to tlie last. The family were sitting on the piazza or standing near the windows and entrances. The general beckoned Dr. Douglas to his side. "Tell them all to go to bed," he whispered and then added, "There is no earthly use of their sitting up any longer." Dr. Douglas walked out on the piazza and delivered this message of command. It was obeyed by all except Colonel Grant who will stay up all the night.

MORE MONEY NEEDED.

Probability That Barfholtli's Statue Will Cost the Country $500,000.

NEW YORK, N. Y., July 21.—Work on the pedestal for the statue of liberty has been stopped several days on account of the delay in getting the steel anchors and girders which are to be built in the masonry. General Stone is preparing a memoranda of expenditures up to the present time. The $100,000 which the World is raising will not be sufficient to complete the pedestal, and an extra amount will be necessary to place the statue in position. The steel anchors and girders will cost $14,000, Four thousand dollars was spent in

him a potion of rnenjuasK'Yunloading the statue from the Isere, $350 which General Grant believed to

was

the cost of transporting the statue to

1

the fort, and it required: $600 to build a shed to protect it from the weather. The steel anchors are to be placed at the bottom of the masonry, and will be connected with the girders at the top by long steel rods. Tliis will be done to give the re-

Sle

uisite elasticity to overcome the force of wind. Just how much more money will be needed has not been estimated, but it will irobably be about $100,000. The statue ids fair to cost this country $500,000.

INVESTIGATING OFFICERS.

A Dog-Thief and an Ex-Convict Contin tied in Office,

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 21.—Special Agent William H. Williams, of the treasury department, has been investi gating, by order of Secretary Manning, the fitness for official position of Jerry Mulroy, appointed to a sub-treasury position by the surveyor of the port of Cincinnati, and reports that the records of the police court and workhouse show that Mulroy was arrested on the' 7th of December, 1875, for petty larceny of a dog valued at $1.85, found guilty, fined $25 and costs, and sent to the workhouse in default of payment that on December 20, 1875 the board of workhouse directors met' and investigated the matter and ordered his discharge on the ground that the offense was a criminal one, and that the prosecution was the result of spite work. It was also charged that Mulroy had been found guilty of drunkenness and fined $10 and costs and sent to the workhouse Augus£ 1876. The special agent says: "I am clearly of the opinion that this last charge has reference to some other person and is-not the Jerry Mulroy under investigation. In support of this opinion he submits the statements of Police Officer Samuel McFarlan, who was the prosecuting witness and who avers the culprit on this occasion was not the Mulroy who is now assistant custodian of the custom house. A number of papers from Mulroy's recent employers are enclosed as vouchees of his respectability and litnesa for public position and the special agent heard of nothing against him worse than, a charge of being an active politician. The special agent also investigated and makes report in the case of Augustus O'Connor (colored] appointed by surveyor Caldwell as janitor in the registered letter department .of the postoffice at Cincinnati. The agent finds that O'Connor served a term of three Shears in the Ohio penitentiary, having 3een convicted of stealing a watch and chain. O'Connor told the special agent that he did not steal the watch and chain, but undertook to pawn them for the man who did steal them. He gained five months for good behavior. The special agent is "not able to find any one who knows O'Connor but what has a good: word for him, and there is no question tion but that he has proved himself a useful and trustworthy, man for the last* few years."

The charge of attempted bribery brought against M. "Bailey, superintendent of construction and repairs of the Chicago custom house and postoffice building, has been investigated by Solicitor McCue, acting under orders of Secretary Manning. The solicitor finds that the case had been disposed of in Bailey's favor by the court, over which Judge Lambert Tree presided. The matter was also, referred by the secretary to Judge,, who said that the acquittal of Bailey was fully justified bv the evidence. Judge Tree joined *in recommending Bailey for the position.

Sturges, of Indiana, removed.

Ex-Senator McDonald for the Supreme Bench.

Washington Special. This ''evening's Critic says that the recent visit of ex-Senator McDonald, of Indiana, to Washington, revives the rumor that he is to succeed Mr. Justice Bradley on the bench of the United States Supreme court, before the first of January next. Mr. Justice ^Bradley reached the age of 70—at which justices of the United States Supreme court may retire—on the 4th of March last. He is expected to retire in the fall. Chief Justice Waite will reach the. age of 70 on the 29th of November, 1886 Mr. Justice Miller on the 4th of April, 1886, and Mr. Jnstice.Field on the 4th of November, 1886. So President Cleveland will probably have four vacancies in the United States Supreme court to fill before his teim empires

THE EXPRESS, TERRE HAUTE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1885.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 20,1885.

To Telephone Subscribers in the City and State: The managing committee recently appointed by the contesting telephone subscribers propose to press vigorously .the duty of giving the new telephone, law a strong support in the conrts. It is believed that the law is fair and valid, and that the company can very well afford to render telephone service of .acceptable character for the reduced rate fixed. We therefore call upon ail telephone subscribers to contribute toward the expease of vindicating the'new law, and as the sum needed must necessarily be large in order to enable us to secure counsel able to cope with the large array retained by the company, we hope the subscribers will be liberal, and that all citizens in sympathy with onr effort to uphold th,e statute will do something to aid the cause.

Emma Mine Scandal Again.

CHICAGO, Iil., July 21.—The noted Emma Mine scandal is revived here by a suit brought in the United' States Circuit court, by Jas. E. Lyon, of the original stockholders, against Bobert Chishhohn, also an original stockholder, to recover $100,000 damages for default of contract. Before the control of the Emma Mine company passed into the hands of' Minister Schenck, Senator- Stewart and T. W. Park. Lyon owned $800,000 of stock and'Chishholm $1,000,000. Schenck, Stewart and Park are charged with having bought up this stock for 40 cfents on the dollar when it was selling in London for $150. Chishholm and Lyon pooled their issues, and brought suit against the company for the difference between the price thev received for their stock and the n^rket value, and contracted together regarding the division" what should he recovered. Lyon charges that Chishholm sold him out notwithstanding their agreement, and settled with the company, and by reason of this, Lyon alleges he was unable to securea.settlementof his claim. He had paid $150,000 for bis stock, and claims to have been de' auded out of $350,000.

A New Whisky Pool.

More stringent regulations governing production will be adopted and a money forfeit will be required of members to be deposited with the secretary.

Convicts Cowed by a Cowhide.

(SEW YOBK, N. Y., July 21.—The strike of the convicts in the Kings county penitentiary is at an end. Learning that a concerted attempt would be made by the prisoners being disciplined to overpower the jailers as soon as they were released from the dark cells, Warden Green late last night took the strikers' ringleader, Thomas Tivey, from his cell and cowhided him in the hearing "bf the entire prison. The effect was magical. All signs of disaffection had disappeared this morning, when the prisoners were again put to work.

by the Heat.

The heat yesterday, especially about noon, vas more oppressive than on either Sunday or Monday. At 1 o'clock the Hager thermometer marked 93 degrees, .while the one at Buntin & Armstrong's at the same time showed 98 degrees.

Mr. C. Roedel, while passing the corner of Fourteenth street, and Liberty avenue at 30:30 o'clock yesterday forenoon, suddenly fell to the sidewalk in an insensible concution overcome by the excessive heat. He was quickly surrounded by several 9eisons, who did what the could to revive iim. The patrol wagon was called and he was taken to his home at 1661 Elm street. When last seen he had somewhat recovered. "Thermometers go high, but the people will have 'em," says an exchange, and there is too much truth in it/ A thermometer about the house causes more misery than a bad flue in winter time. Ifupeople would not look at it in hot or cola weather, keeping cool in summer, as best they can, and moving about unmindful of 15 degrees below zero in winter, there would be far less complaint the weather. But while we perspire or freeze we have a sneaking hope that the mercury will go higher or lower and beat the record. It is this feeling that is bringing curses upon the Hager thermometer, which. persistently refuses to do other than record a standard of temperature.

There was a heavy rainfall northeast of the pity yesterday afternoon and Brazil caught a big shower. Toward 11 o'clock last night clouds gathered all around the city and thundef in the distance could be heard, but the storm seemed to fight shy of this city. "You are not doing a lively business," said a reporter to a bartender, "No," he replied,

''everybody

The Weather JSlsewhere.

NEW YORK, July 21.—Dennis Sullivan, 60 years old Jas. Reynolds, 39 years old, and John Shaughnessy 60 years old, died to-day in this city from sunstroke. Michael Schoon, a resident of College Point, L. 1., also died from sunstroke today. The day was extremely hot and uncomfortable, with no assurance of cooler weather. The thermometer registered as follows: 3 a. m., 74 degrees '6 a. m., 76 degrees*, 9 a. m., 80.degrees 12 noon, 90 degrees and 1 p. m., 90 degrees, and at 3:30 p. m. it was 97 degrees. Up to 1 p. m. to-day, for the past twenty-four hours, 180 deaths have been reported at the bureau of vital statistics. Of these sixtynine were from diarrhoea. Of the 180 deaths, ninety-two were children under 5 years of age.

PITTSBURG, Pa,, July 21.—This was the hottest day of the year. The mercury rose to 90 degrees at 1 o'clock this afternoon, when a thunder shower reduced the temperature to 86 degrees. Two cases of prostration from the heat had been reported at 2 o'clock. One of them, a mill laborer, died in a few minutes, and another, Wm. B. Copeland, a letter carrier, is in a serious condition. In several mills the employes were compelled to quit work-this morning and the mills closed down. Among the street car horses there is great suffering, and on some of the roa&i the number of trips have been reduced at least one-third.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 21.—Edward Bishop, engineer, was overcome by the heat to-day, and died soon afterwards. The atmosphere is not so oppressive as yesterday, the mercury registering 95 degrees at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

DETROIT, Mich., July 21.—The hot wave still holds out. At 2 o'clock the signal service thermometer recorded 90, and now stands 89. The minimum was 74 at daylight The only death from the heat was a horse that died this forenoon.

CINCINNATI, O., July 21.—The heat was more oppressive to-day, on account of the total absence of breezes. The maximum temperature was 95 degrees, the same as yesterday. Half a dozen cases, of sunstroke were reported at police headquarters, but there were probably twice {hat number. Many horses were overcome on the streets. To-night there is some relief in the prospect of a thunder storm.

CHICAGO, 111., July 12.—Last night was the most oppressive experienced in city in a number of years. The sky was cloudless and the air was dead. The atmosjphere was so close that life appealed unendurable. At an early this monning alight breeze came from Lake Michigan, which has blown stronger all morning and the sun having been in a manner obscured, the day begins not unpleasantly. As a result of the intense heat of yesterday, there was a large mortality among the hogs at the stock yards. The temperature at 7 a. m. was 83 degrees at Keokuk, 82 degrees at Omaha, 74 degrees and raining at St. Paul, 67 degrees at Winnipeg, 53 degrees.

formation was received of eleven wildcat distilleries being started in one neighborhood in Overton county and five on Roaring river, Putnam county. Similar reports come in from other counties.
