THE VINELAND SHOOTING.

MR. CARRUTH STILL LIvING-THE CASE TURNED
OVER TO HOMEOPATHIC pHYsIcrANs-RETIRE-
MENT OF DR. GROSS i NATURE OF THE
WOUND AND DIRECTION OF THE BULLET
WHAT THE COUNSEL OF Lands INTEND TO
DO.
VINELAND, N. j., March 90. 1875.
Mr.. Carruth's condition Is very slightly i'm
proved tonight AMI his chance for life is despe-
rate. DR.. John G. Morgan, OF Philadelphia an
eminent homeopathic physician, arrived this
morning, summoned by the wounded mans de-
sire. Shortly a1terward DR.. Gross, the physician
sent by Mr.. Lands, came in the train. but relin-
pushed the case upon finding DR.. Morgan In
charge. DR.. Morgan, in consultation with Drs.
Iuller and Wiley, came to the conclusion
that the best course of treatment Tor
the present is to allow the bullet
to remain the danger in this case Is that erysipel
atous Inflammation may ultimately set in and then
coma and death. II the bullet is extracted there
is the risk OF sudden emulation OF blood from the
wound and the immediate death OF the patient.
This latter alternative he seemed to think the
most dangerous, ana for the present has chosen
the former.
CONDITION OF THE WOUND.
The brain has collapsed over the track or the
bullet and it impossible to trace IL. DR.. Morgan
inserted probe. but only penetrated to the depth
or about an inch. The wound Is In the back OF the
head, little to the right OF the medan line, and
the ball took an upward course. Ecchymosis OF
the upper eyeld has Increased. and the swelling
might indicate that the ball has gone through to
that portion OF the head. The patient suffers from
partial blindness, being only able to see from one
eye.
THE MYSTERY OF THE SHOOTING
When 1t Is considered that Lands was not more
than eight 1eet away wnen he fired the shot; that
the bail was an unusually heavy one and The revolt
yer powerful weapon, it seems almost une plain
abe that the missile should have lodged In the
brain and not gone entirely through the head.
COUNSEL FOR THE PRISONER.
Mr. Landis' counsel will be Messrs. William
Brewster. william Potter. J. Boyd Nixon, William
A. House and II. NJ. Turner. One OF these gentle
men Is in almost constant consultation with him,
but every one else Is refused access to him. except
has wife and some OF his most intimate friends.
HIS vile drives over to him daily. 1t is the
intention OF Lands lawyers II there Is any change
for the better in Carruth's condition. to make an
effort before Judge at BrtdgetOn Tor writ OF
habeaS corpus and TO have him released on bail.
IL is extremely probable that the defence Will be
provOcatiOn leading 10 great mental excitement.
Lands insists that tie did speak to Carruth before
ne fired, asking him II he wrote the article, which
Carruth answered that he did, and would do 1t
again. The witnesses to the shooting all declare
that they heard no words.

OF "Damon and Pythias." Elastic song ana
dance, reminiscence OF the grangers, formed the
