In reply to a question regarding Mr..
Taintor's presence at the Mansion this
afternoon, the Doctor said that he
| (Bliss) had several ELECTRIC probes, one
of which he did not ,tndst6aisl, and he
had requested Mr.. Taintor to furnish
him with some battery for the purpose
Of adjusting the instrument. This the
Doctor explains as u precautionary
measure, saying thatit might be de-
sirabe to use the instrument sooner or
later. When asked the cause Of the
continued high pulse and temperature,
the Doctor replied ut may be caused by
a Carly flow Of pus, nut we haven't yet
discussed it. The discharge continues
perfectly healthy and is apparently
Free"
The Doctor said further that there
were no indications of the formation of
a pus cavity, and nothing to warrant
the suppostion that another operation
would be necessary. He also repeated
the assertion that the ball would not b,
cut out un.est it should be found to be
doing the patient harm. The
Doctor, upon further questioning re-
garding the high pulse and temp era
ture, said it was possibly due to the ex
tremrly hot weather. Concluding the
Doctor said We will pro badly know
more about the matter in the morning

 James Monahan, nachinist. who lives at 115 Rosette street, and who is about 35 years of age, attempted to commit suicide yester- day afternoon It is said that he had been dissipating for some days and was re covering from the effects of long debauch. To quiet his nerves his wife gave him small dose of laudanum at Il o'clock and another at o'clock. About o'clock, and during the ab- sence of Mrs. Monahan, her husband took the bottle containing the poison, which he found in his room, and swallowed the entire contents. A short time later he was found in half unconscious state, and the empty bottle being found, the cause of his stupid condition was speedily divined. Physicians were summoned and all medical remedies were brought into requisition to save the un- fortunate mans life.
 At 12 o'clock last night the man was still alive, ,aand Drs. Roland, Dorman and Vishno were using their best endeavors to restore was being used to keep the man awake, and hopes were entertained that the efforts of the physicians would prove successful. His medical attendants thought if they could keep him alive for twelve hours he would re- cover.
 The man died at 12:13 this morning, all ef- 1 forts of the physicians to arouse him from l his stupor proving futile. Drs. Roland and Dorman were with him when he died.

Dr. Jewett arrived and at- tended the case. MT. Gills friends corrobo- rate his version of the affair, as they knew him to have pleasant home and to be most happily situated. He is engaged with the New Haven Shirt company, Abram Smith agent and manager, who states that the cap- tain was feeling quite cheerful for one who claimed ln toto any thought of Intentionally shuf1ing of this mortal coil. The captains many well wishers will be pleased to hear the favorable reports.
