A FtCrank'' Running Amuck in Albany.
 ALBANY, July 27.-Some excitement pre- vailed here at noon because of a rumor of an attempt to shoot Governor Cornell. The particulars are as follows:
 At half-past eleven o'clock stranger walked up the stoop of the old Capitol build ing and was about entering when the super intendent of the building, Thomas Hyde, mo- tlclng the strange appearance of the man, who was carrying an old fashioned gun on his shoulder, asked him where he was going The stranger replied, 'I am adjutant gen. eral of this State" MT. Hyde, seeing the man was probably crazy and fearing some harm to the State officers was intended, asked for the gun. The stranger declined to give it up, when desperate struggle ensued for its possession. MT. Hyde finally secured it. On investigation it was found to be un- loaded. The stranger, who is evidently re- covering from the effects of a spree, is lodged in the Second district station house He gives the name of Patrick McLane, a blacksmith, of Whitehall, N Y.

AYoung EIan's Wonderful Escape.
 JERSEY C1TY, July 27.-A young man named Brock, employed in the Pennsylvania Railroad shops on the Hackensack meadows, had an almost miraculous escape from death this morning. He had boarded the local train which left Jersey City at 10 o'clock While the train was moving into the station at Market street, Newark, he leaped from it, and stumbling. fell against the side of the car and afterward to the ground, in less than two feet of space between the raised plat form of the station and the track on which the train was running. He fell in such po- sition that his head lay on the rail beneath one of the cars, and bystanders put their hands over their faces to shut out the horri- ble sight of his decapitation. With wonder ful presence of mind Brock, by quick movement, threw his body out of the way of the train, and, strengthening himself out in the smallest possible compass, lay between the platform and the track till all the cars had passed by without injuring him. Only his coat was torn.

LONDON, July 27.-The Ameer has demand ed that Ayoub Khan retire with his forces to a greater distance from Candahar before he will consent to continue further the pending negotiations for peace.

THE CRISIS THOUGHT TO BE PASSED.


 Secretary Blaine said as he was about to go home that the doctors evidently thought the crisis passed, and that, is usual in the history of such cases, there would be steady improvement unchecked except by some unexpected complication that may arise. The physicians will be very slow to pronounce the President out of danger, for experience in the case. has laughs that danger may arise suddenly. The fact is that they will not be surprised if other con- plioations may yet arise to retard the patients progress but their success ful treatment of those just passed will do much toward nerving them
 for a confident struggle with those to come. This has been the only day the Pres ident has passed without febrile rise His temperature and respiration have remained normal and his pulse is lower at II p. m. | than at any time since this morning. Such l state of affairs has had the effect to leave | the White House almost deserted and after | the evening bulletin was pasted scarcely a | caller appeared.
