The story that Miss Minnie Rail, a
charming Young lady of Keokuk, Ia,
was Rugged to death by her lover in his
ecstacy at her having consented to
marry him, is denied by the doctors, who
say she died of heart disease, which was
stimulated into fatal action by the in
tense happiness of the moment. The
doctors are probably right, but even
were it otherwise, there is no use in cit
ing the case as warning to other girls.
Most of them are physically sound about
the heart, and will take the chances of
being crushed by any man who ever
bore arms.-Gr0phic.

Denver, COL, July 23-The Santa Fe

camp of Lieut.. Guilforgle at st. N1cho-

say that Lieut.. Guilforgle, on Thursday
morning, camped at Almo canon in the
Sacramento mountains. Two of his men
arrived from Fort Staunton and report
that about half way between Alamo and
Stanton on their return they were am
bushed by Indians who fired at them
from distant range. One Indian was
killed and soldier wounded in the thigh
and two pack horses killed. On receipt Of
this news Gailforgle started in pursuit
and ut LaGunasa found two Americans
dead and riddled with bullets, their
bodies still warm. Three miles fe,ther
west he sighted the Indians and rum
ming fight ensued for half an hour to
Ash canon. The fight was carried on at
distance of three hundred yards, but

ped. Six Indian ponies were found dead
1t is not known whether any Indians
were killed. Guilforgle in

Immediately. and feels confident Of

tempt to disturb him much. The result
OF this examination, Us given by the sur
geons, is that his condition is not any
more favorable than several hours ago.
In order not to disturb the president no
other examination will be made till z
O'Clock this evening. The doctors are
reticent, only saying the change is prob
ably caused by the stoppage of discharge
from the wound. They will not give any
positive opinions but say they hope for
tho best. The surgeons in consultation
considelel the presidents condition
sach that consulting surgeons, Hamil-
ton, of New York, and Agnew, of Phila-
delphia, had better be called for at once.
A telegram was sent at noon asking them
to come Immediately.
ANOTHER EXAMINATION.
Washington, July 23.-All of the pres
ident's surgeons are now making an ex-
animation to see if they can determine
the cause of the change in his condition.
The cabinet ministers were all sent for
and have came to the white house. There
is great deal of uneasiness in the city
growing out of the fact that nothing def
mite can be ascertained as yet from his
surgeons.
LATER INFORMATION.
Executive Mansion, July %, $3.50 p. m.
DIR. Bliss reports the condition of the
president much improved since noon.
His pulse is below 100 and the general
symptoms show an improvement. There
is not the slightest indication of pyocm-
esis which is danger most to be feared
THE LAST BULLETIN.
Executive Mansion, July %, 4 p. m.-
There has been no recurrence yet of the
unfavorable symptoms which manifested
themselves in the earlier part of the day
The president is now asleep and lis
pulse remains about 100. 1t is the opin.
ion of the attending surgeons that the
chill and subsequent fever this morning
was caused by the formation of a pus
cavity at some point along the
track of the bullet but this
cannot be positively ascertained
till afterthe evening examination. DIR
Bliss says he has in his practice had
cases where the formation of pus cavi
ty in a wound was followed by much
severer chill and higher fever than the
president has had to-day, and that it il
not necessarily an alarming feature in {
case of this kind.

Mr.. Henry Gannett, the geographer OF
the census bureau. is preparing series
of very interesting projections, in which
he will show by counties the kind Of fuel
used, whether wood, coal, corn stalks Or
hay. Mr.. Gannett is Of the opinion, al
though the work is not completed, that
four-tifths of the fuel of this country will
prove to be wood. The increase in the
consumption Of coal in this country has
been something prodigious in the past
forty years, and indeed, for that matter,
throughout the world. In 1S42 the Unit
ed States produced only 100000 tons OF
coal, while last year there were produced
over 7O.O0O,0OO. or over half the product
of Great Britain, which amounted to 1885,.
100000 tons. According to Mr.. Gannetts
calculations, Illinois uses about an equal
proportion of coal and wood. According
to rough estimate, about 670,0O0 of the
population of Minnesota use wood, S00,.
900 coal and 1900 hay. These are but
estimates, but when the statistics of the
entire country are completed, they will
have M ultimate bearing upon the ques
tion of the consumption of forests.
