STEAMER RICHMOND.
Efforts Being Made to Beach Her-Ex.
tent Of the Vessels Damages.

RocKLASD, Sept. 10. Steamer City of
Richmond now lies off Commercial wharf,
where she was towed and where efforts were
made yesterday to raise her high enough, by
means of the steam lighters, to get her on
the beach where the tide would leave her, in
order that temporary repairs might be made.
Last night, however, one of the four heavy
spars which were chained across the wreck,
and were resting upon the sloops and light
ers on either side, suddenly broke. The
rising tide brought the strain upon it, and
the other spars were then eased up, and the
plan Of operations changed A small sail
has been procured, which will be doubled
and drawn under the Richmond's bow and
secured so as to temporarily patch the break.
She will then be pumped out and taken to
Portland for thorough reconstruction. Her
upper works, forward and aft above the
maine deck, are nearly all gone, but her
hull, AFT of the break in her bow. is said to be
sound. Her hog frames do not appear to be
started, and the machinery is in good con.
dition.

THROWN FROM A BRIDGE.
Thirteen Cars wTecked..One Fatality
The Loss Heavy.

BATTLEFRONT, Vt, Sept. 10. The regu-
lar freight train from the north, over the
Valley railroad. was thrown from the track
on approaching West river bridge. one mile
above Brattleboro depot. this morning. and

of whom. Dana Topliff, of Windsor, was
killed, while another named Savoy was Sc

which were loaded with Howe scales sank in
the river. while the others are floating in the
water. together with quantity of valuable
merchandise. The north end and the top OF
the bridge were badly demolished, and sew
eral days will be required to repair it. En-
gineer Stack ran his engine the whole length
of the bridge, dragging the trucks on the
ties. and landed safely on the south side.
The loss will be heavy.

A Desperate Attempt to Kill Woman
in kitte1y.

PoKTswourH, Sept. To- Thomas Wheel
err, laborer employed on the premises OF
Mrs. Frank Cate at kittery, attempted to
kill her on Friday, the ball, however, miss
ing its mark. In her efforts to escape, she
fell and broke her leg in two places.
Wheeler than ran down the road where he
made unsuccessful efforts to take his own
life BY shooting himself in the left breast. the
shot resting near the shoulder blade. 1t is
stated that Wheeler for reasons, was dis
charged, and left for Boston last Thursday,
but returned :he next day, and meeting Mrs
Cate, fired at her as stated.
Later.-Tbe examination of Thomas
Wheeler. for shooting Mrs. Cate, with intent
to kill, took place here this afternoon, be-
fore Justice bennett, and he was held to
answer at the next term Of the Superior
Court at Alfred, where he is to be taken.
After his wOuld-be victim fell, breaking
both bones in her left leg, and being con
veyed into her house, Wheeler was making
an effort to shoot himself, believing at the
time that he had killed her, he cody crawled
into the room where she was lying, sat on
the lounge, the blood flowing freely from his
wounds, and constantly expressed his great
that he did not succeed in numbering her,
empEasizing his words by throwing chairs.
He was quickly arrested and taken TO the
almshouse. where he was kept all hight.
He is desperate looking character, abou,
81 wears of age, and refuses to give his resi-
dence. Thu ball he fired into himself, pene-
trated just over the heart, and though the
wound has since been probed the depth of
about four inches, the ball cannot be found.
His injuries are not dangerous. 1t is alleged
that the cause Of the deadly assault on Mrs.
Cate, was her refusal of indecent proposals
made to her.

Midnight.

LONG BNANCH, Sept. II.
The figures contained in the evening bull
letting occasioned m lch anxiety, especially
when it was ascertained that there had been
more or less fever all day. notwithstanding
the announcement made at noon that the
temperature and respiration were normal.
1t appears that this statement was the result
of an estimate rather than an actual exami-
nation, and when the examination really oc-
Cured the temperature was found to be
above normal, as is shown by the evening
bulletin.
Gen. Swain, this evening, explained that
the sloughing of parotid, mentioned in the
evening bulletin. is something as the core OF
a boil. 1t was about as large as the tips OF
my two fingers. That is favorable action
1t shows the gland trouble is about over.
Possibly there may be trouble with his lungs
but we hope it may be overcome. There is
danger of course of unfavorabe complied
tons arising at any time while the patient
is so low.

Col. RockwelI's Remarks on the Press
ident's Condition.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. ii

LONG BRANCH, Sept IL.
The day opened cloudy and rather sultry
but before 3 p. NJ. the storm broke away and
bracing sea breeze set it and continuing
throughout the balance of the day. The
mercury fell to ~ degrees and the air was
decidedly refreshing rendering heavy cloth
ing necessary for comfort. Notwithstanding
the occurrence of increased fever the sur
geons and attendants do not waveI in the
opinion that he is gaining ground although
they admit that that the gain Is slow.
During a conversation with Hon. Carl
Schurz and Murat Halsted this morning, Col
Rockwell gave detailed account of the
Presidents condition. His tone was unchang-
ed from the utterances made by him yester-
day, and he said in substance that there was
no rubbing out the fact that the President
was better, and that he noticed his surround
ings and took an interest in outside matters: :
ate with relish and properly assimilated his
food, and that he was well on the road to re-
covery. He has heretofore had some annoy
ance with his eyes but that has apparently
disappeared. The Col. was asked if it was
fact that the President still suffered any
hallucination upon awakening, to which he
responded that he had been troubled more or
less for some time with a sort of bewilder-
ment, but nothing more serious, said he
than many well persons experience upon
awakening from sound sleep. It was a
serious error to call this delrium inasnnch
as it was invariably temporary, and the pa
tient was always conscious of it. Col. Rock
we'll instanced his actions at such times by
saying that he would not address any of his
attendants who might be standing near him
until the seeming cloud had passed away. He
attributed the occurrence of the hallucination
to the low condition of the system. The Col.
summed up with remark to the effect that
the patient was better now than he had been
for ten days at least.
