CINCINNATI, Aug. 31.-A fire this morn
ing on Court street, insignificant and
promptly extinguished, was terrible in Its
results owing to the bad means of escape
from the upper stories of the building.
The fire started in bales of hay and straw
in feed store in one of the ground-tioor
apartments of four-story brick building,
the upper stories of which We're used for
cheap lodging rooms. From the feed
store an open chute or inclosed hatchWay
extended to the fourth floor of the building,
up which hot air and smoke were conveyed.

HOT WHEAT INVESTIGATION.

An examination was made to-day of the
City and st. Paul elevators, and it was
found that, while there was no wheat. ac-
tually hot, some 100, 900 bushels have
been taken from these two elevators and
shipped to Buffalo to avoid heating, which
seemed likely to occur unless the grain
was moved and stirred up. The clique had
shrewdly shipped the grain before it was
out of condition, rather than have it post
ed as heated which might crea,e panic;
as it was, prices declined heavily to-day,
at one time being seven cents below last
nights closing, although to-day's range
was only "a cents, and prices closed up
pretty strong on open board. The decline
from yesterdays highest, to to-day's low
est figure was II IL.

added, and few drops of muriatic acid.
The patient is said to relish it greatly.
Boynton said the glandular trouble is ap-
parently much better. There was large
discharge this morning. There is little
change in the condition of the wound.
Granulation is renewed but not to any
great extent. He considered the general
condition fully as good as yesterday.
BoHNToN's OPINION.
Late this evening, Boynton said, were
it not for the advent of septicaemia, the
President would now be convalesecent
The stomach trouble two weeks ago, the
glandular complication, stupor and dull
ness, rapid pulse, loss of frength, etc, are
all due to this cause. Wonderful vitality
enabled the President to overcome the dan
gers and complications attending the
wound prior to the blood poisoning. In
his case, septie@mia had undermined the
very foundation of life, producing condi-
ton most resembling typhoid, very often
attended with stupor, delirium and great
prostration. Digestion and assimilation
had been pretty much arrested; so that,
although he partakes of sufficient amount
of nutritious food, he became greatly ema-
ciated and exhausted. The blood besides
its vitiation by the septic taint, became
more and more deproved on account of the
failure of the system to transform the food
into blood. The patient has been suffering
from blood poisoning some time, and dur
ing the past week it became evident that
unless a favorable coange soon occurred,
the vital powers were in danger. The prob
lem was now to sustain his strength until
nature could eliminate the poison. No
irreparable mischief has occurred to any of
the vital organs and recovery is more than
probable.

The indications that the bullet is work
