DROUTH IN KENTUCKY.

Farmers Forced to Sell Their Stock on a c.
count of Scarcity of Feed-Corn Crop
Ruined-Water Courses Dried Up, Etc.
( LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 25.-The city is be-
ing flooded with stock, number of country
men brin ging all they can spare to sell, being
unable to feed them except at greatloss. Sew
eral who were approached on the subject at
the stock yards, said that even if they dis
pose of their stock at sacrifice, and
were compelled to replace the sale in
the fall at full prices, it would be cheaper
than to feed what they had no actual use for
until the fall season. A member said that
they were compelled, if they kept their usual
number of head on hand, to come to the city
and haul out corn to feed on. The above facts
were CLEANED from persons living in
Jefferson, Shelby, Oldhall, Owen, Spencer,
Scott and other counties throughout the
State. As a general thing there has been no
rain of any consequence for nearly two
months, and early corn is nearly destroyed,
while the late crop is so badly damaged that
even with rain the crop will not be more than
half a yield In many of the sec
only injured by heat and drouth,
but the small water courses have been dried
up, and stock is suffering more for want of
water than lack of food. A person from Old
ham said of the water: In the section have
just visited water is so scarce that whole
families have to use the same water. for wash
ing purposes, and then this is all they have to
give their stock for drinking.

Blaine to LOtcelL,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The following
was sent this afternoon: Lowell, minister,
London-The Presidents condition shows no
marked change. The symptoms of yesterday
are repeated to-day. At this hour, 1:30, his
fever seems to increase, while the parotid
swelling has not diminished. He continues to
swallow liquid food in sufficient quantity with
no disturbance of the stomach.
(Signed), BLAINE, Secretary.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug.
25.-At 9 o'clock tonight Secretary Blaine
sent the following dispatch:
To Lowell, Minister, London-The Pres-
dent has lost ground to-day. Some of his
symptoms this afternoon and evening are of
the gravest character. The condition of the
swollen gland, and of the pulse, and of the
temperature, suggest serious and alarming
complications. His mind at intervals has
been somewhat clouded and wandering. His
strength fails, but he still swallows liquid
food. of a nourishing character, and apparently
digests it. On his strength alone rests the
hope that is still left of a reaction.

Iuteryie,c ,vtth DR.. Boynton.


EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug.
Is, noon.-Dr. Boyntou in an interview with
reporter at 11:4O O'Clock this morning replied
to questions as follows:
How is the President to- day, in your judg-
ment?
Idon't think he is any better.
But does he hold his own?
Well, I cannot point to any particular
symptom and say that it is noticeably worse.
But the impression which his general condi-
tion makes on me to-day is a little less favor
able. l don't feel quite as much encouraged
as did yesterday.
What are the features of the case which
seems to you most disquieting?
The conditions of his blood and his extreme
weakness.
He has not then made any gain in strength
since yesterday morning?
l can't see that he has.
Does he not take his food as well as yester-
day? :;
Yes, quite as we'll. His stomach seems to
MAINTAIN its improved condition.
Then, If his stomach performs its functions
properly, and nourishment continues to as
simulate, will not the condition of his blood
change for the better?
at will in time. The poison well be elimi-
mated from his blood if the patients strength
and vitality hold out 1t is question of time
and endurance"
The wound continues to do well, does
it?"
"Yes, but don't think the condition of the
wound is SO important consideration. The
President is very weak, and is not gaining
strength The great question is, can he be
sustained through this period of prostration!
if he can, think he will eventually rally
from the depression caused by the septic taint
on the blood and finally recover"

THE REGULAR THING.

Another Series of Burglaries Wednesday
Night-HOn. Geo. L. Becker's En-
counter.
things can continue from week to week and
no clue obtained to the thieves, is mystery.
For nearly two weeks past the city has been
infested with gang of thieves and house
breakers, and thus far they have defied the pc
lice authorities. Special and volunteer police
men have been appointed, and the regular force
charged with extra duty and vigilance, but all
to no purpose, so far as capturing any OF The
scoundrels is concerned.
The following is the bulletin of depredations
attempted during Wednesday night.
/ An attempt was made to break into the resi-
dence of Ex-Gov. C.. X. Davis, No. 16 Far
rington avenue. The front door was tried,
but for some reason the thieves we're fright
ened away, possibly by the barking of large
watch dog belonging to City Comptroller
John W. Roche, who lives in
the same vicinity. At all events they quit
their work, and only damaged the front door
slightly.
The residences of Matthias Breen, No. 185
st. Peter street, and j. Jaeger: ESD, at 227
West Third, were also visited, but they did
not succeed in effecting an entrance.
They were more successful at the residence
of L. A. Gilbert, on Summit avenue, where
they managed to get in by prying open one Of
the windows. Ali the plunder they got was
Sc. 90 in money from the pants pocket of Mr..
Clifford Gilbert.
The most exciting event of the night, how
ever, took place at The residence of Hon. Geo.
L. Becker, No. 112 Lafayette avenue. Be-
tween and o'clock Mr.. Becker awOke, and

and started for window, to see if there was a
storm impending. The room is located
on the second floor, and there was no light
burning. He had hardly left the bed before
he ran against man who in a fierce whisper
said, "Keep still, God damn you, or l will
blow your brains out'' Mr.. Becker was very
naturally surprised, and in the darkness hard
ly knew what to do, but he jumped back to-
wards bureau and grasped his revolver, and
ordered the man to stop, at the same time call
ing for his two sons, who occupied rooms on
the same floor. The fellow did not halt, how
ever, but rapidly descended the stairs and
made his escape. An investigation showed
that he had pried open one of the large win
dows opening upon the veranda, and also
broke the fastening Of the inside blinds. A
heavy bedstead was placed directly in front OF
the window, and this had been showed one
side. The hall door had been unlocked from
the inside, through which the thief escaped.
The only article of value missing was gold
pin belonging to Mrs. Becker, which had been
laid upon the bureau. So much for another
nights operations.
Burglars attempted to enter the residence of
Andrew Defel, on Carroll street, near Josette,
during Wednesday night. Mrs. Defel fired a
pistol from an upper window, which fright
ened them away.
Mr., s. M. Halliday's residence. No. III
De Soto street, was visited, and some clothing
and valise taken, when Mr.. Halliday's
brother-in-law awoke, and the thieves ran.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
TRAIN. wREcKERs AT WORK.

ARLINGTON, Mass, Aug. 2J.-An attempt
was made this morning to wreck the early
train from Bridgwater to South Abingdon on
the Brdgwater branch of the old Colony rail-
way. When the train neared East BIidgwater
station the engineer discovered an obstruction
on the track, consisting of sleepers laid cross
wise. The train was going thirty miles an
hour and the engineer was unable to stop be-
fore colliding; but fortunately no damage was
done except to smash the pilot and headlight.
Between this place and south Abingdon two
other distractions were found on the track,
consisting of stones weighing 200 each and
another lot of sleepers.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
FULTON, ILL.,, Aug. 25.-Mr. and Mrs. Fl.
Temple, residing on the farm of A. D. Mitch
ell, about two miles south of this city, were
instantly killed by lightning during storm
about O'Clock this morning. They had aris-
en- during the storm and were in the act of re-
firing, when the fatal stroke entered the build
ing. An infant months old was between
them at the time. They were killed, but the
infant was uniDjured. Four other children
were also in the same room in bed, but were
uninjured. The storm was severe one. In
this vicinity the rain was very much needed.
FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
HARTFORD, Aug. 25.-Hervey Hill, age n,
formerly of Davenport, Iowa, was found dead
in a room Of the boarding house on Asylum
street this afternoon. He was decoyed by a
gang of bunko men into a room, and is sup
posed to have died from heart disease, brought
on by fright. II is not known he was robbed,
for all the money he was supposed to have,
and his gold watch were found upon his per-
son. He was out riding with his daughters
during the morning and until half an hour be-
fore he was found dead. He was man high
ly respected, and of untarnished character.

UnfarorabIe Su,nptons.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The noon bulletin
is not calculated to inspire confidence in the
Presidents recovery, and neither are the un-
official reports from the sick room. The lat
ter are to the effect that the glandular COM
plieations are giving the doctors serious con-
cern, and this is corroborated by the bulletin
just issued, which states that the swelling has
not diminished perceptibly, and that there has
been but Il few drops of pus discharged. The
feverish symptoms are again on the increase,
as shown by the bulletin. The doctors are
supposed to have resorted to enemata unsuc-
cessfully, the bowels refusing to retain the in
jections. A feeling of gloom is again making
itself apparent at the White house. Not the
least alarming feature in the case is the fact
that the doctors keep themselves shut up and
refuse TO be interviewed. Another bad even
ing is looked for at this writing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In the recorder of
deeds Office, to-day, deed was filed from
Henry W. Howgate and Cordial Howgate, his
wife, to Jas. E. Fitch and Robert Z. Fox, as
trustees, conveying certain property in trust
to secure W. W. Mccullough, W. B.

ties on his bond of $4,000, to
appear and answer the charge of embezzlement
from the United States government The deed
is dated Aug. 20, and was this morning at half
past 10 deposited in the record office, from
which hour it is an effective. An attachment
writ under the suit entered by Col. Cole was
issued about 4:30 yesterday, and various
pieces OF property standing in the name of Capt.
Howgate by 6o'clock were in the hands Of
the marshal. It would seem, therefore, the
marshals claims have priority, but some law
yers claim the attachment will not hold unless
it can be shown Capt. Howgate left the city
attachment attach valuation Of $11O,205 to
the property seized.

Change for the worse.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, Aug.
25. midnight.-se after the evening bulletin
was issued the attending surgeons saw
change for the worse in the Presidents symp-
toms. He became more restless than dur
ing the day, his pulse grew more
frequent, until 1T reached 100,
and he began to be subject to hsllucinations
with regard to his circumstances and sur
roundings. Most of the time he seemed ra-
tional, but at intervals, especially just after
waking, he talked incoherantly and did not
seem to be conscious of his situation.
An examination was made of the inaamed
parotid gland, and its appearance gave reason
to apprehend serious consequence Little
more could be done for it, how
ever, than to continue The poultice and
the general method of treatment adopted
During the evening the patient slept lit
tie, but was very restless, and awokeat short
intervals. About 10 O'Clock his pulse began
to subside, and he seemed to be gradually
passing into a quieter condition. At this
hour the pulse has fallen to 112. and he is
asleep. There has, however, been no marked
change in his general condition; shd it con-
tinues to be subject OF great anxiety.
