The CRUISE OF THE CORwIN.-The Alaska
Commercial COmpany's steamer st. Panl which
arrived at San Francisco Monday morning
brought advices concerning the revenue cutter
COrwin. The sledge party which Capt. Hooper
sent out to look for relics from the lost whalers
Vigilant and Mount WOllastOn fell i'm with
party of natives about one hundred miles from
Cape SerdZe, who had in their possession a
number of articles taken from the wrecks. They
consisted principally of carpenters tools. &c.
1t is supposed the vessel was wrecked as far
back as 1879. The sledge party. being unable to
proceed further westward on account of the
melting of the snow. proceeded to Cape Serdze
and were picked up by the COrwin. They tray-
eled in all about 100 or 40 miles. The last
Intelligence of the cutters movements is up to
July 9. when she sailed from NOrtOn's sound to
GOrulovil bay, thence to proceed nOrthward to
katZebue sound and Point Barrow to look after
revenue matters, and then westward to Wrange
Land before the ice closed in the search for the
Jeanette. The mildness of the previous winter
and the thnness of the ice encountered by the
Corwin gave Capt. Hooper strong hopes of being
able to reach and explore that land.

A "Rampageous' nlsdman.

Thomas c. Neal was sleeping with David
Fagin in cheap lodging house in Chicago
when, some time after midnight, he awoke
Fagin by appeals to "save his wife and
children" Fagin. bewilde,ed, said
=" Yes, yes; III come = whereupon his
companion placed a revolver against his
check and fired. Neal then ran out of tho
room, and meeting William Springcord,
night watchman, at the head of the stairs,
he shot him in the back. The madman,
reaching the street, successfully shot q
colorcd man named johnson, and two
other men named Flynn and Wolf. He
then encountered a policeman and levelled
at him the now empty revolver, but the
officer, after wounding Neal in the neck,
arrested and placed him in a cell. The
prisoner is about Is years of age, and not
desperate looking. Nearly all his victims
are seriously wounded, and it is feared
Springcord and johnson cannot recover.

MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. S, 1881.
The President.

Tie burden of all the advices from
Washington, for the past few days, has
been no loss, no gain.'' The uneasy
feeling which went over the country yes
terday morning, when the unfavorable
symptoms of vomiting were reported,
showed how easy it is for the bulletin to
unduiy stimulate or depress public con-
dence in the hopeful condition of the
nations patient. A week ago he was
reported and universally believed to be
dying. Nobody doubted it. And just
when the most hopeful of his physicians
announced his despair, came the
turn for the better. Since then a steady
Improvement has been reported and, on
the other hand, within three days after
the president had been ut deaths door
the general solicitudc had been abatcd
by the cheerful report from his bedside,
and his certain recovery was generally
believed to he only matter of time.
Now it is reasonable TO believe that no
sufferer, especially one with such a com.
plicatiOn Of troubles, could be so soon
lifted from the valley of the shadow into
the sunlight Of the mountain peaks.
The president is better, to be sure, but
he is very far from the hopeful condition
in which the popular mind has regarded
him for the past few days. His recovery
is not by any means assured, and it
must be, at all events, a matter of very
long time and suffering and of patient
application of medical skill.
If there is any force in the cOnstitu-
tional provision for his inability it is
plain that the problem arising from the
direction of that instrument mayas W II
be met first rs last. Mr.. Garfield will
not be able to do any Of the duties of his
office for many months to come. If they
arc to he left undone somebody is taking
very great responsibility. If they are
to he done the vice president is plainly
tue proper person to undertake them.
The governors Of this and other
states, it will he seen, have appointed
Tomorrow as day of prayer by their
people for their suffering president. Why
the call comes SO late, or on such short
notice is not explained. The clergy had
hardly opportunity to announce their re-
sponse to it to their congregations yes
terday, though in this city, and else
where doubtless, they have arranged for
the services as requested and given such
publicity to their announcements As the
time will permit. Mayor MacGOnigle,
it will be seen, recognizes the fitness of
things and officially emphasizes the call
with 4 local application of il.

Accidental Shooting.

A painful accident occurred on Saturday
about 2:3O p. m. to Miss Catharinc Wolf,
an aged lady, at her residence No. 443
West James street. After tic recent bur-
glary of their ncighbor. Prof. John s.
Stair, the ladies concluded they ought to
have tho protection of firearms in the
house and Mr.. Harry Powers, of Geo. NJ.
Steinman & Co., relative of the family,
was requested to bring out pistol and
show them how to use it. After loading
it in the presence of the ladies he brought
it down with his hand to show them how
to use it and in SO doing it was, in somc
unexplained way, discharged aud tho ball
struck Miss Wolf below the knee, entering
the bone 4 considerable distance and in
flicting painful wound which has not rs
yet been relieved by tho extraction of tho
ball.

The President's Condition.

Some apprehension was created yestel:
day morning by the announcement that
the president vomited during Saturday
night, but it appears that the gastric dis
tnrbances was only temporary. The pa
tient vomited twice, the last time after
taking milk porridge, but he expressed
relief after getting rid of the porridge aud
slept soundIy. Yesterday there was no
return of the irritability, and he took food
as usual. and passed comfortable day.
The parotid swelling has almost entirely
subsided, but there is no material change in
the condition of the wound. He had little
fever, but his pulse was more frequent than
during the two preceding days, and he
showed more fatigue after the dres
lngs.' At 6:30 p. M. the pulse was 10,
temperature 90 and respiration 1S. Secre-
tary Blaine telegraphed to Minister Lowell
last night that the surgeons did not think
the patient had lost ground; "but,"
said the secretary, I" he certainly has not
gained ground since last Saturday
nights despatch" The arrangements for
the presidents removal to Long Branch
have been nearly or quite completed, and
it is expected that the removal will be
made some time before Wednesday next

Prayers for tho President.

On our first page will be found the gov
ernOr's call for the observance of TO- NOR
row, between 10 and IL Il. H., with pray
ers and other religious exercises having
special regard for the condition of the
president. The mayor Of this city, it will
be seen, has promptly issued his procla-
nation conforming with the governors
call. The clergy of the city, too, have rc-
cognized it and made general calls for
services, which will be found in our adver-
tising columns. In Trinity Lutheran there
will be a number Of short addyesscs per-
tinent to tho occasion.
In accordance with the recommendation
of the governor, there will be a union
service at tho First Reformed church to-
morrow at 1880 o'clock, to implorc the
Divine mercy for the recovery of the pres
idcnt in his sore atfliction. The service
will continue no longer than al hour.
Christians Of all denominations arc cor
daily invited by the following participat-
ing pastors Revs. J. Y. Mitchell, d. d.,
J. B. Shumaker. d. d., J. Max Hark, j.
A. Peters, S. Stall, and others.

THE LOSS OF The TEUTON.
Only Thirty-six of tho Three Aundaed a,
Sixry-one Souls on Board Saved.

Only Thirty six of tho Three Hundaed and
Sixty-one Souls on Board Saved.
A telegram to the Union Mail steamship
company, London, confirms the account
relative to the loss of the steamer Teuton,
that the boat containing thirty women and
children, of which it was thought at one
time there might he some hope, was
swamped. The survivors say that two
hours before the ship sunk the boats were
lowered to level with the bulwarks, aud
provisions and cOmpasses placed in them.
One boat broke loose from its fasteninys
while being launched. and six were
brought alongside. About twenty women
and children took places in them first.
When the water rushed into the engine
room the steamer sank by the head carry
ing with her four boats, which were not
fairly clear of the ship. Those of the pas
sengers and crew who rose to the surface
clung to the floating wreckage until pick
up by those who righted third boat. At
daylight the boats made for Simon's bay,
all who We're clinging to spars were first
taken aboard. The TeutOn had ESQ pas
scngcrs, S. of tho crew, and 20 coolies on
board. Eleven of the passengers and 25
of the crew were saved.
AT the time the steamer struck the
weather was clear. 1t was moonlight
night, but there was a haze along the
shore. The striking of the vessel was ut
terly without warning. After floating the
TeutOn steamed direct for Simon's bay,
but her speed gradually slackened. The
compartment which struck the rocks re-
mained sound, but that next to the engine
room filled with water, probably through
the starting of a plate. Perfect order was
maintained among the passengers and
crew during their embarkation in the boats.
The sudden sinking of the vessel was
caused by the collapse of the bulkhead
dividing the compartments. The steamer
Danube has returned from the search for
survivors, having discovered nothing. The
corvette Dido has also returned from a
search without finding anything.
Tho secretary of tho company writes
saying that further inquiries relative to
the passengers bound for Kuysna have
proved beyond doubt that they wcre all,
forty four in number, Oh board the Teuton
at the time of her loss, andthat only three
of them were saved.

E. II. RAUcH, formerly of this city and
now the editor of the Mauch Chunk
Democrat, has been pitching into the mana
gers of the Switchback for charging high
rates. Theodore Munford met him a few
days ago, and calling him liar, said he
would whip him for two cents. The money
was not forthcoming and the thrashing
was postponed. This week Rauch goes
for the bully and calls him "beastly,
cowardly blackguard."
GRANT has become brusque in manner,
more dasling in dress and more talkative

the plaid pattern of his trousers
is very large as to squares, and sensa-
tlonal as to effect. They say he is making
money. Childs says that Grant came
back from his trip around the world COM
paratively a poor man, and before the
Chicago canvass was over he was 4 poor
man in fact. Now, however, he is worth
! clear threc-quarters of million, made
in conservative stock speculations, in
which he was guided, and is yet, by Jay
Gould.

THE English correspondent of the
New York World devotes good deal OF
space to commenting the novelty and
ingenious enterprise of firm of Christ
mas card manufacturers in London who
offered high prices for competitive de-
signs. If the correspondent had read
his own paper regularly he would have
known that this is Yankee scheme,
practiced for years by American pub
fishers. In the way of business enter.
prise the LondOners cannot teach New
York and Boston much. Nor are the
