Conflicting Reports Regarding the Health of the Great . Republican. What Col. Mussey, His Physicians,and Members of the Family Say. Armed Citizens of Long Island in Search of a Notorious Robber. BLAINE'S HEALTH. Th Troth About the Condition of the htseretary ut Hh MtruKgle fur Health. Ciifci.isiATl, July 11. Col. F. D. M uasey sends the Commercial Gazette the following from Bar Harbor "It is unfortunate that the country should be bo misled and deceived by reports ftwm here. .They have all been sent out by Women who ate here to do Jenkins work -tor the newspapers. Not one of them has seen Mr. Blaine or talked with him. The New York Mail and Express has been peculiarly unfortunate in being represented here by a woman who appears to be devoid of any sense of responsibility or truthfulness in her dispatches. It was a dispatch from one of these women to the New York World that so alarmed the country last week. The same day it was sent Mr. Blaine took a long drive and - a walk afterwards. "Mr. Blaino is a sick man. He is engaged in a heroic struggle to recover his health. There is no occasion for immediate alarm about him, but the question yet remains to be solved whether he will be able to resume his duties or not as Secretary of State. His physicians think he will, and he is hopeful, and that is the situation. "The impression in Bur Harbor is that Mr. Blaine will never return to active life, but an his physician said to me: "A good many men could be sicker than Mr. Blaine and not be as sick. It is not chronic disease, and I look for his complete recovery." A friend of the Blaine family says: "The report that Secretary Blaine is sinking, and that the doctors have no hope, is utterly false and without foundation whatever. Mr. Blaine is steadily improving, as everyone who sees him riding and walking about the streets of Bar Harbor knows, and there is every prospect that he will be a well man by the end of the summer." An Interview with Hia Doctor. New York, July 11. A special to the Herald from Bar Harbor says: It is an open question among those who ' think they are in a position to know whether James (. Blaine will return to his duties at Washington in the fall or whether he has come to Bar Harbor to die. There are intelligent people here who argue by the hour that this 'srisdtt"iJ Aatericra is still eliauria , to lus grave drugged thereto by the' fatal combination of nervous prostra tion, paralysis aud Bright's disease of the kidneys. "What is the trouble with Mr. Blaine, doctor?" "His nerves, nothing but his nerves," aupwered Ir. J. Madison Taylor, the Philadelphia nerve seealiMt who is iu coustant attendauce." , "Then he has no Bright's disease as reported?" "Emphatically not. His kidneys are as sound as any man's, and he is not suffering from paralysis. No. You think a man who had paralysis could drive about as he Joes?" """""But is his stomach all gone to pieces? They say he can take no nourishment but milk." "Nonsense. Mr. Blaine eats and enjoys three square meals a day. He has a touch of dyspepsia now and then, but not more than most Americans of his age." "Then you think he will get well?" "Unquestionably. During the 6ve weeks he has been here he has steadily improved, aud will go bask to Washington all ready for the load of work before him." Such is the physician's statement, which some people accept as the gosjel truth, while others shake their heads aud refuse to be consoled. "Mr. Blaine does absolutely nothing in the way of state business," said Mrs. Blaine. "All letters and papers of whatever importance are kept from him. When it is necessary for him to write a letter he dictates to me, his only secretary." "Do I think he is better?" "Yes, indeed; but of course we are Tcry anxious." That, by the way, is what strikes one as being very odd. If Mr. Blaine is in such shape as his doctors and family say, why all of these speculations? On the Koatl to Recovery. Boston, Mass., July 11. A special to the Herald from Bar Harbor says: Secretary Blaine continues to improve in health and he said yesterday that he felt himself on the high road to com plete recovery. To a reporter Mr. Kmmons Blaine said: "Father is bet ter than he has been for seven or eight months. There is 'absolutely no truth in the alarming statements of the Secretary's ill-health. He has no organic disease; he has neither kidney complaint, diabetes nor Bright's disease. He has not been placed on a milk diet at any time, tut on the contrary, he eats hearty of meat, vegetables and fruits.", ROBBER RICHARDSON. Two Hundred Armed Men Searching for the Motorions Loaf I .lit ml Outlaw. Islip, Long Island, July 11. Nearly 200 meu, armed with shotguns, rifles and revolvers, were scouring the woods and swamp north of here yesterday for Tom Richardson, who has re cently held this county in teiror by his bold robberies. They failed to catch the robber, but discovered two cunningly constructed caves in which he has concealed the booty of numerous robberies, and in one of which, it is supposed, ne wishes to cage his wife after he succeeds in abductins her for cibly from her father's home, where she lied for refuge some months ago. This cave was furnished in a comfortable and most luxurious style and was evidently intended for a long occupancy. The most significant thing in the strange res

idence was a chain securely fastened to

a stake firmly driven into the ground. These preparations for securing a prisoner led to the belief that his wife was his intended victim. The hunt for Kichardson will be continued to-day. - Killed by Falling Elevator. CoLCMBrs, Ind., July 11. At Reeves & Co. s stacker manufacturing works, in this city, this morning, four men were on an elevator in the third story when it caught. When loosened it fell forty -one feet. James Bronson was instantly killed and three others fatally wounded. The President Will go to Vermont. Bennington, Vt., July 11. President Harrison has formally accepted the invitation to attend the Vermont State Centennial celebration on August 19, and as now planned will spend the greater part of a week in Vermont. He will be tendered receptions at Rutland and Burlington. Tennessee "Touched" Again. Nashville, Tbnn., July 11. The sensation of the hour in Tennessee's capital is charges against State Comptroller Allen of retaining commissions to which b is not entitled, and placing State money in bank to his individual account.

This is a low, vulgar, common manner to speak of the devotees of the mcse. But it's true. A considerably thinned out forest surrounds, or is adjacent to, this charming reteeat. Near this forest is a lake. The woods and the body of water are great resources for the poets. They fish, they stroll, they row, they ea, they talk oh ! how they talk postrv, metaphysics, tin-plate, fashiocs, (tell it not in Gath ! but the LITERARY women are subject to the same weaknesses to which all feminine flesh is heir) free-trade and all sorts of bad tics, prose, immigration, orld s air, religion, crops, baccarat, lotteries. what will probably be forthcoming at diacer and a variety of other burning questions. And POETRY ! We live it! Breathe it I Eat it three times a day in the shape of artistic veal chops, incomparable onion sauce, and impossible (to eat) puddings. Every body that isn t a poet is an author or a reporter. But poets are in the ma jority both born and made. Sir EdEdwin Arnold, I am given to under stand, has a strong predilection for the latter; and, indeed, it a modest and sVfJTiible opinion may be expressed,we are inclined to think that the illustrious admirer of our much maligned poor, old Walt Whitman belongs to the latter class. However, that has nothing to do with Warsaw and the W. A. W. Eagle Lake can never have justice done her from this pen, but the hotel eat. This can be said without egotism. A criticism might even be ventured npon. 'Tis this: It is too small. It is full to overflowing. The overflowing part is taken to the town where they erCt in much discontent and not exsvctJy appreciating the payment of two htel bills at the same time. They snatch a hasty breakfast, board the festive hack and omnibus and hie them to Eagle Lake. Then they stay all day. Ir the evening they return to be credited with dinners and suppers they ne -,er consumed, and combination locks (A the doors. But nothing could be atcre charming and delightful than Eagle Lake, seeing Fountain Park and all the genial, companionable people. The W. A. W., has a larger attendance than ever before. Dr. Ridpath, the distinguished head, has made a thorough and distinct success. Some of the ''big guns, to be sure, are not to be seen tin? year, but there are so many extra lesser lights that their absence is not particularly noticeable. Mr. Riley is not here, and no constellation of lessei lights could fill exactly the place that Mr, Riley occupies in the W. A. W. Mr. Riley is touring in Europe this suiaudr witl'Bev. Myron Reed, of il.l .1 - e : 1 TJ! s votorauo, iortneriy oi luuiiui, nnu n gay and festive time they are doubtless having. They are just now heard of as in Scotland, where the haunts of Scott and Burns and all the rest will know them. But Mr. James Whitcomb Riley is missed at Warsaw. So is Mrs. Catherwood who is also doing the correct thing in Europe. But the W. A. W. have with them the distinguished Ohioans, Col. Coates Kinney and Prof. W. H. Venable. Col. Kinney is a man of very strik ing appearance white nair and mustache, keen, dark eyes, thick eyebrows. He is ot medium height. The Colonel has a wonderful fund of quiet irony, but nobody can be more perfectly de lightful and fascinating when he chooses, and as a general thing he chooses. But oh! when the Colonel don't want to be nice how the other person feels crushed, mutilated ig nored ! dir. enable and Col. Kinney are the fastest of friends, and no two people could be more opposite. Mr. enable is what the fair sex call a "dear man." He is rather small than otherwise, gray hair and eyes, and the gentlest, most benevolent, literally the "sweetest" (the word is not used in its hackneyed sense) expression in the world. Both men are great favorites socially as well as in a literary way. Dr. Kidpath, the distinguished his torian, is the leading spirit of the convention. Nobody could be more genial and thoroughly delightful than the Doctor, and all the new members and visitors are enthusiastic over his social characteristics, his wit, repartee and literary productions. Dr. Ridpath is certainly a fit head for such an organization. It is said he makes more money by writing than any other man west of the Alleghenies. Mr. Henry Watterson, much to the regret of every body, was unable to be here, owing to various causes, but Kentucky was brilliantly represented by several members of the Southern Literary Union. Among these was Miss Elvira Sidnor Miller, of Louisville. Miss Miller is a thorough Southern girl bright, viva cious, witty, something of a Bohemian, but altogether charming. Her mater nal ancestry being of Italian nativity. Miss Miller presents an unusual but attractive appearance. olive complex ion, brown hair, grayish blue eyes. A slightly retrousee nose adds somewhat to an exceedingly piauant expression. Miss Miller has just had published an enjoyable little book of fairy tales. Mr. W. W. Pfrimmer is one of the most talented and readable of Hoosier poets, and many Richmond readers will be delighted with hia small book of poems recently issued. Mr. Pfrimmer is a prominent educator in Northern Indianaand is a great favorite among the W.A.W. people. Mr. J. N. Matthews, ot Illinois, is a real poet, one who should be better known in our part of In diana. His modesty is considerable, else ne would have much more of a reputation. - His poems are poems little gems of art and feeling. His production read before the association Wednesday evening was tender, pathetic sad. It is sincerely to be hoped it will soon ap pear in print. . The degree of Doetor of literature was recently conferred uron Mr. Matthews by the State University of Illinois. Mr. Eugene Ware, of Kansas, is one of the favorites of the convention this year. Mr. Ware at one time com manded the National Guards of his own State, and his verses partake of a mili tary and martial spirit. Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, of whom
