A few days ago, during fight in q saloon at
Cincinnati between Joe Eckert and George
Gutherie, Henry Seegers, a companion of the
two, interfered, and Eckert relinquishing his
hold upon Gutherie whom he had down, with
an oath, told Seegers he could and would whip
him. Seegers thereupon stepped back and
drew knife. As quick as flash Eckert drew a
revolver, and presenting it, said "Take that, "
and shot, the bullet entering Seegers' head be-
tween the eyes and killing him instantly.
Eckert then went and gave himself up. The
shooting occurred near the home of Seegers
and his mother and sister being warned by the
noise of an unusual disturbance, were soon ON
the scene. They we're both overcome with grief
and cried piteously. Upon the day following
a woman called at the Jail and said " she would
like to see Mr.. Eckert who was charged with
killing Mr.. Seegers.'' The jailer understood
her to say she a sister to Eckert, and she
was admitted and Eckert called Eckert had
no sooner appeared than she said excitedly,
"you killed my brother, and am going to kill
you," and drawing revolver, took deliberate
aim and pulled the trigger. The weapon failed
to be discharged, however, as the hammer fell
on an empty chamber. Eckert rushed back to
his cell with all his might and main, and
crouched tremblingly in corner. The woman
was seized by the guards and disarmed, and an
explanation followed. She said she was deter
mined to kill the prisoner, if not now, at some
other time. She was taken home by a consta
BILE, her brother-in-law, who said that she had
brain affection, and the killing of her brother
had brought on temporary dementia.

The President has about recovered from the

Il the Latest Report Concerning the Con.
ditiOn Of the Prtaident.
At this writing August lit is but proper
to say, while there is life there is hope. There
is no doubt about it, the President is in a most
critical condition. His stomach is completely
broken down, 30 weak that it has refused even
to retain lime water, something given to infants
to correct stomachic disturbances. The Presi-
dents friends know that before he was installed
his stomach was disordered, and that this was
not new complaint, but one of long standing,
and which had grown worse under the strain
of an incessant train of visitors after the cleo
ton. The conditions during the first month
or two after he WAS installed did not tend to
promote recuperation. Yet it is believed that
the Presidents health was generally improving
at the time of the assassns shot. The facts
respecting has medical treatment since
that event makes it evident that the
physicians did not take the stomach into con-
sideration at all they have been looking only
to the wound, and all declare that the wound
is now in an excellent condition and rapidly
healing. The latest official bulletin ut hand
says: "The Presidents symptoms are still
grave, yet he seems to have lost no ground
during the day, and his condition on the whole,
Is rather better than yesterday. He has vom-
tied but once during the afternoon, and the
enemdta are retained. At present his pulse is
120, temperature 9s9, respiration 49," To this

children. A day or two after, the father Of the
children met the negro and gave him terrible
beating. The negro preacher took the part Of
the assaulted negro. The feeling soon ran
high. Friends Of both parties ranging them
selves on either side, several street fights, more
or less serious, occurred; but the determined
stand Of the officers prevented fatal termina-
ton. A large number of special policemen
were sworn in to protect life and property, the
colored people having threatened to burn tn
town. The citizens Of Morrilton have asked
the Governor to raise a military company al
Morrilton TO preserve the peace.
