vINELAND AND ITS HISTORY

Carruth'3 condition to-day, at nine O'CLOCK A. d.,
was US iollows:--His sleep is more broken and
restless than last night, no pain except little
thrObbng In the wound; appetite good; skin
soft, with little perspirasion at times.
At $3.50 p. M.-Comiortabie after motion from tho
bowels following an enema or warm water. His
family physicians feel encouraged with the prog
ress the patient has made. Mr.. Carruth has not
been raised from horizontal position, and Is Jet
in very critical condition, notwithstanding all
favorable symptoms.
xpPECT OF LANDIs' STORY.
The news that the NEW YORK HERALD OF this
morning had succeeded In obtaining what no
other Journal had been favored with--namely.
detailed statement from Mr.. Lands as to all that
preceded and led TO the sbootins-caused great
cOmmotion In this peaceful place. Copies OF the
HERALD were gobbied up as soon as they arrived,
and the newsmen could have disposed or hun
dreds more than they had to sell IN the after
noon the local paper printed an extra containing
the HERALD despatch in fun, and struck OF
large edition. Even this did not satisfy the de-
mand, Tor Mr.. Lands' narrative was the one
subject Of discussion and everybody wished TO
read IT, The public life of the founder OF
Vineand every one was familiar with. but no
knew the terrible story OF hts wife's con itOn
! and the circumstances which made the EDITORS
persecution atrociOus. The effect OF this revo-
lat,on especially OF the attempted suicide. Is re-
marKabe; for, while yesterday public sentiment
was bitterly opposed to Mr.. Landis, to-day tho
general feeling is almost as strongly In sympathy
with him. although no one fOrgets his crime.
! 4CAERUTH'S CONDITION WORSE.
Carruth affords another Illustration OF the ruling
spirit strong in death. YESTERDAY pointing fee bly,
to his head, ne said "LOOks bad to be shot In the
back, don't it?" and when a Mr.. Paine came In
! he motoned for him GO go away, because, - he
! said. eve don't want any more pain here.'
ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH lands.
In q long conversation with me to-day, Mr.
lands seemed greatly relieved TO know that the
publication OF MS story had satisfied tho commu-
nifty ''that am not so black as am painted" AZ
he phrased IT. He seemed more anxious than
ever that Carruth should recover. He was greatly
| surprised when l told him how short was the
distance between them when ne fred Ut Carr q rh.

deriul he had not been killed; but, the wounded
man has lived 50 long. he evidently thinks he wiz

spoke Of the good fare the Sheriff sent

his ideas Of prison fare. He had refused to order
food from outside, because 1t might DO misunder-
