Tanners Fast.
New YORK, July 29th.-Dr. Tanner is de-
cidedly worse. He is weaker. His eyes are
dull and heavy, and he is suffering so much
| that the physicians have decided to have
beef extract, warm water and brandy ready
for an emergency. He, however, makes
light of the symptoms, and says that when
hiccoughs break in he will at once break fast.
He asked for few drops of peppermint this
morning to relieve pain, but was refused, re-
| ceiving instead warm water. He sought re.
lief by pounding his ribs. He ate some ice
this morning, and soon after yomited one and
a-half ounces Of mucous, tinged with bile.
| He was weak and helpless for nearly an hour
afterward. He thinks he has caught slight
cold. He was asleep at noon

graph to his wrist, and saw that the tracings
were as good as could be expected. At 4
o'clock the Doctor walked to the lower hall,

Doctor went out and got warm bath. At s

asleep shortly after lying down.
T,,lx,
special from New York says: To-day was
the most exciting that has passed. Some
physicians who had been confident of his sue
cess wavered, and the advisability of supply
ing him with nourishment was discussed.
He protested, and declared his ability to ac-
complish his task. Those who watched
him from day to day, however, could
plainly see that his face was more
pinched and haggard and his step feeble.
Brandy and preparations of meat have been
provided in case of emergency, and supply
of hot water has been ordered to be constant.
ly on hand. Before taking the carbonic acid
water in the afternoon the Doctor sat down
in his rocking-chair and looked at the crowd
around him. Then his head gradually sunk for
ward as though he was overpowered by sleep.
He seemed to rally for a moment, and resting
his elbows on his knees sat holding his head
| between his hands-a picture of misery One
day: Usually the brain gives way
first in death from starvation, but here the
stomach seems to be going first. If DR..
Tanner becomes unable to retain water. as
seems likely, death must certainly ensue."

/ Republican Prospects In. Alabama.
| New York, July 29th-The Tritune's
Washington special says: Private letters
from Alabama Republicans convey the fol-
lowing intelligence in regard to prospects at
the State election next Monday. The whole
northern tier of counties is claimed, and ap-
parently with good reason By the Greenback
ers. This is the section from which Lowe,
the present Greenback Congressman, came.
| As the Greenbackers of that section are
themselves expert at bulldozing and counting,
nothing is to be feared by them from the
1 Democrats In the black belt, which is the
Republican stronghold, and in which several
counties gave large Republican majorities,
only two counties were permitted, at the last
election, to have their ballots fairly counted.
There are Indications that the Democratic
counting machinery will be applied to these
counties, or least to one of them, on Afon-
day. The canvassing of the vote, it will be
remembered, has been taken out of the hands
of the local authorities and vested in a Board,
the members Of which are appointed by the
Governor. The object of this law was al
most undisguisedly to enable the Democrats
to overcome the Republican majerities by
means of fraudulent counting.
