The excitement at the Grand Central yesterday
morning continued undated. The morning papers
had made the news Of the attempted ASSASSINATION
OF Mr.. Fisk more widespread, and tee consequence
that thousands of people sought the hotel from
morbid curiosity to see every nook and corner Of
place made memorable By the noted event. BY
three O'Clock in the morning most OF the friends
Of the injured man had taken their leave and
naught remained or the excitement Of the night
before but the anxious faces Of the physicians and
friends, who lowered at the BEDSIDE Of the wounded
sleeper. The gas In the room was turned
down, 30 that glimmering light made
the scene more desolate than before. Servants and
hall boys slid around upon their errands on t,p.toe
and the silence was unbr0ken save BY the heavy
breathing Of the sleeper In the sick room. Even Mr.
Tweed had become weary OF Watching and took
leave OF his stricken friend ct one O'Clock. Thus,
one BY one, the visitors departed and the room was
LEFT deserted save By the physicians In charge.
Almost at daylight, however, the throne Of friends
and curiosity seekers again began to assemble in
the corridors and lobby OF the elegant hosiery and
the guests. descending from their rooms to break

crowd the hotel the evening berorc.
TIE SYMPATHY FOR THE SUFFERER
was deep and outspoken. Not o man was to be
found to say aught against the sufferer, but those
who spoke Of him at all did 30 In terms Of highest
praise. 1t seemed as II Mr.. Fisk's enemies had
suddenly become his friends, while those whose
faces were familiar were numerous and the num-
Der increased as the morning wore away. The Erie
Railway employees and oflcials were present BY the
hundreds. Jay Gould arrived early In the day. His
face wore an anxious expression ana his red eye
lids plainly showed that he had been weeping for
his dying friend. His praises OF Mr.. FISK were
Of the most extravagant Kind. and the
fear that their long and tried intimacy was about to
be severed filled his mind with sadness and his eyes
with tears. The feeling OF kindness shown BY the

for the wounded man those Of Mr.. Gould alone.

when first wounded. The sobbing mourners were
finally induced to leave the room and the body was
for time, watched over by the Rrief.strickcn

Fisk. The room at this time was in state Of great
confusion. Tumblers and Walls and bandages were
scattered about upon chairs table, bureau and noor
On the back Of the bed lay palm.leaf fan, which

his mother Spanish woman. When four years

Kent. The latter took him to Edinburgh, Scot
land where he made an incision near the heart;
and discovered that he had no diaphragm, and
that the heart was not enclosed In poricardium
but Is suspended by two cords Instead Of one.

result. None Of the scientific men Of Europe
understood his structure. and they advised him
tn come to America and see II our learned men
could comprehend his formation. But no
one here had before seen such creature,
ana could not understand his organiza-
tion. IL was 1863 when he came hore,
and In 1865 he went back to Europe. In
1887 he was at the Paris Exposition and was ex-
amined by several eminent surgeons among
them Prof Smith of Baltimore. Since that year
he has been In this country His home IL in
England, and he says he likes that country
much better than this-there he Ia treated as n
gentleman, here as worthless, travelling
grant. He is not married. and his parents are
now dead. He has brother who Is six feet
three inches in height, but who can contract
himself so that he Ia but three feet three inches
tall. This Ia his only peculiarly. There was
nothing remarkable about their mother, but the
father was apparently destitute Of ribs. The
latter at one time-a great many years ago
worked upon the Erie canal and lived In Lock-
port. Gaorge has cousin who can throw his
left hip to his right side and rice uersd. The
former Is In good health, weighs los pounds, is
about i've feet eight inches In height, and ap-
pears TO be not over 30 years old.
MIR. Thomas goes to Middletown to-day. He
will visit Albany and return TO this village In
three or four weeks, soon after which he in
