children of Thomas Killeen, aged
l, 8, 6. 8 and 10, years, respectively,
were poisoned by colored servant
girl, Eliza Bartly, who put rat poison
in the soup. The girl was arrested
and confessed the crime; she said she
put it in to make the children sick
out of revenge, they having thrown
rocks at her. One died this evening,
but it is hoped the others will re-
cover.
LONDON, July 25.-The Liverpool
correspondent of the DAILY Telegraph
says the police believe the story
about the discovery of the internal
machines in barrels, said to contain
cement, from America, to be hoax,
but the authorities are very reticent
regarding the matter.
LONDON, July 25.-The Standard,
in an editorial article this morning,
says: "In England every incident
of President Garfield's illness is
watched with keen but mournful in
tcrest. Had he been British states
man it would have been hardly
possible for English people to have
manifested a truer sentiment OF
sympathy than that which they have
rendered to his family and his
country. In no part of the United
States would news that Garfield is
ont of danger be more joyfully re-
ceived than in England"
EXECUTIVE MANSION, II M.-Col.
Rockwell, who has just come from
the presidents room says the pa
tient is resting very comfortably, and
he considered that he is doing as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances. In response to the
question whether there had been or
would be any further operations
performed on the president, he
says there has been but one opera
ton, and judging from present indi-
cations. did not anticipate that any
more will be necessary. Continu-
ing, the colonel said at the morning
dressing of the wound the surgeons
took several small pieces of bone
from the wound which were sup
posed to be from fractured rib.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, p. M.-The
president at this hour is resting com
fortably and surgeons express them
selves as satisfied with his present
condition. A rumor has been circu-
lated that the president had another
chill this morning. Those who are
rightly acquainted with the facts
deny the story, and say that the pa
tient has had no chill since those
that occurred previous to the incis-
sion. DIR. Agnew has been here all
the morning. Consulting surgeons
will be in attendance daily for the
present. DR.. Hamilt on is expected to
return tonight, at which time unless
some unforeseen emergency arises,
DR.. Agnew will probably again re-
turn to Philadelphia.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 26.-2:26
M-The reports which have beeu
telegraphed from here to-day TO the
effect that serious operation was
performed this morning for the pnr-
pose of removing part of the presi-
dents fractured ribs, are unfounded.
The wound has not been touched
since the mornings dressing, which
was the only operation performed.
There was pulling out by DIR. Bliss,
with his finger, of two or three small
pieces of splintered bone, which
clogged the passage and impeded
the outflow of pus. The surgeons
do not admit there is anything criti-
cal or dangerous in the presidents
condition. This evening, on the
contrary, they say he has had a
fairly comfortable day. The dis
charge from the wound this morn
ing, although not large, was not so
scanty as to indicate any new COM
plicatIon. The patient at this hour,
2:20 P. M, is free from fever, and
resting quietly, and his general con-
dition is at least as good as it was
yesterday.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 26.-4
P. NJ. The president has had a com
Portable day, and in the opinion of
the surgeons is better now than he
was this time yesterday. His tenn
perature during the greater part of
the evening has been normal. His
pulse Is not higher, and his general
condition is good. There has been
no recurrence up to this hour of the
afternoon fever.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Up. No.
The president has done well during
the day. At the dressing of the
wound after the morning bulletin
was issued displaced SPECTRUM of
a broken rib about half an inch long,
was removed and the track of the
wound at this point was diIated and
a larger draining tube inserted for
facilitating the discharge of pus.
Since that time he has had several
quiet maps and taken more nourish-
ment than on any of The last three
days without gastric irritation, and
when the wound was dressed this
evening discharged healthy pus sat-
isfactorily abundant. At noon his
pulse was LOG, temperature 98-4,
10. At7P. NJ. his pulse
was 104, temperature 1907, respira-
ton %. DIV. BLISS.
