Special to the SENTINEL

EXECUTIVE MANSION, Aug 1880 A. M
The President did not sleep as we'll during
the early part Of the night as usual. After
midnight, however, his sleep was refresh
ing and only broken at intervals. This
morning he has a little fever. Neverthe-
less, he expresses himself as feeling better
than for several days past. Pulse 104,
temperature 103, respiration 10.
The announcement by the bulletin this
morning that the President had fever
gave rise to general anxiety throughout the
city, a feeling that was shared by the sur
geons. DR.. Bliss said there was no cause
for alarm, that the case would 1uctuate,
and that the fever was caused by the reten-
ton of a small amount of pus in the
wound. The wound was thoroughly
cleansed this morning, and the fever SUBJ
sided. The President was quite sick last
night, and took considerable medicine,
ing much better.
2:30 P. M.--There is no cause for alarm
about the Presidents condition, and no
ground for the startling rumors which
have been circulated to the effect that he
could not live more than a day or W
longer. The fever has been gradually sub
siding, and at this hour he is very COM
Portable. He is decidedly better than at
any time during the past 48 hours. Thu
heat is oppressive, but the Presidents
room is kept at an even temperature of
about 80 degrees. His pulse is now below
100, and temperature about 80.
Fatal Railroad Accident.
OGDENsBURa IN. ", Aug. ia ter
rible accident occurred on the Grand
Trunk Railway this morning, which re-
suited in the death Of the engineer and
the serious wounding of the fireman, bag
gage master, two express messengers and
various injuries to a number of passen-
gers. The train was the 10 P. NJ. express
from Montreal to Toronto, and consisted
of six Pullman sleepers, four first and
second-class coaches, postal, express and
baggage cars. The cars were filled with
returning excursionists from Montreal,
who were nearly all asleep. After leaving
Prescott, while at full speed, an obstruc-
ton was encountered and the locomotive
jumped the track, carrying the tender,
baggage car, mail, express, smoking and
two passenger cars with it. The cars were
scattered in every direction, and pieces of
wood and iron strewed the track for rods
round the scene. The escape of so many
passengers is wonderful. The EXPRESS car
and some passenger cars were smashed to
splinters. The cause Of the accident was
a COW on the track.

versation to-day, in relation to the cutting |
of rates on the trunk lines. and the recent
with W. H. Vanderbilt, John
W. Garrett, President Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, said that as several days |
had passed without a correction having
been made, he assumed that President !
accepted the responsibility of
made the statement attributed to
him. He added that it would be painfully
easy to convict President Vanderbilt of
great lack OF knowledge on the subject,
his statements in regard to the Baltimore
( Ohio road being absolutely contrary to
the facts. In view of the importance of
this matter, President Garrett has sent for
papers which will enable him to present his
case through the press at an early day,
in q manner which will cause the
public to understand the history Of the
curse Of the New York Central Company.
