On Sundav 'a"t about noon, Kansas
and v.cini y Was thrown into excite
mcnt by the report that young man
named J, .rri; Clark had been drowned
in q sto.c q:i.rTy near that town. The
report was soOa verified. 1t appears
that young Clark, who was aged 10
years, was i'll the employ of gentle
man named Holli2ger, and had been
for a number of years, and on the day
in question he, son of his employer,
aud a Young man named Harley, drove
into Kansas where they partook of
some slight refreshments. The day
being very uarI.i, they then proposed
TO go in swimming which they did in

Greatly as the country was electri-
fed by the report of Blaine's splendid
achievement of Monday week ago, it
was more greatly stirred by the news
which came on Monday last that he
had been stricken down by sun stroke
the day previous, and that his case
was serious. Telegraph officers were
besieged everywhere to know the re-
suit, and as each item of news indica-
ting his improvement was flashed over
the wires, the country felt to that ex-
tent relieved. The news on Tuesday
morning was very hopeful. and during
Tuesday his complete recovery was
regarded as certain. The reports
on Wednesday morning confirmed all
these, and even contained Il dist atch
written by Blaine himself assuring his
friends of his conyaleSceuSa
