DIR. HAMILTON AGAIN.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Dr. Frank II.
Hamilton, who just returned from
Washington. was found this evening in
his library by an associated press re-
porter. The doctor said he had been
so misrepresented in the interviews
concerning the president, that he
should hereafter want of every reporter
a copy of what he said. Before the
latter left he had found sayings quoted
that he never uttered, and if he found
that reporters who made use of any ex-
preston beyond the copy left, he
should not occord him second inter-
view.
The reporter then asked: care you
reported correctly in any evening pa
per to-day, that you had no doubt what
ever but that the president would re-
cover"
DR.. II. mo sir. / would not say
that OF any patient, and much less of

liarly difficult to make safe prognosti-
cation. The reporter misunderstood

ute assurance. III Is simple my faith.

lowing telegram tonight:
Minister Lo,UeA, London:
At halt-past 10 o'clock tonight the
general condition of the president is
favorable. Late in the afternoon his
pulse rose to liz, and his temperature
to 100; both little higher than sur

fallen to los, and the fever subsiding.
The parotid swelling is steadily i'm
proving, and is at last diminishing in

STILL BETTER.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, }
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20,
10 p. NJ. \

~ L. VI.
The improvement in the presidents
condition which began Saturday last,
has continued without any Interrupt
ton to the present hour. The attend
ing surgeons agree that the
case shows marked and dec ided
changefor the better, and a changewhiCh
holds out promise Of being perma-
nent. The presidents attendants are
taking even a more sanguine view of
his present condition, and manifest a
hopefulness which rests upon assured
confidence. Even the president HIM
self feels this strong current of hope
and his reinvigorated mental energy
cooperate more effectively than ever
with his rallying of the vital powers.
As stated in the early morning bull
letins the patient had a better night
than at any time before since the
middle of last week His sleep
was still broken at rather short inter
walls, but it was more natural and peace
full than heretofore, for the reason that
his general condition was better, and
there was less disturbance from the
swollen parotid gland. He was sponged
off with alcohol and water every three
or four hours, and swallowed liquid
nourishmeEt at intervals Of two or three
hours during the night. The morning
examination showed the favorable con-
ditions of Sunday were still fully main
tanned.
CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Up to II
O'Clock tonight the march of improve
ment in the presidents case continues
steady The more confident view of
the case taken at the present time
seems to be fully justified by the Of
fetal bulletins, and it may also be said
to be fully shared by the attending
physicians. The afternoon and evening
reports have all been favorable, although
some little uneasiness has been felt
tonight on account of continued high
temperature. This is explained by
the physicians in attendance as result
ing from the pain Of the inflamed
gland. This has been more than usu-
ally troublesome this evening. Capt
Henry Marshall, of the District of Co.
lumbia, said to the reporter tonight,
that it was an ugly looking swelling, re-
sembling carbuncle; he thought
it might be one. A very favor
able symptom in the case reported
this evening is the temperance of evil
dence of granulation of the original
wound. This healing process is now
said to be going on naturally and rapid
". There has been no excitement In
| the CITY to-day.

A Fatal DUEL.

NORFOLK, Va, November 1.-THE first
duel growing out Of alleged political din.
Guilty Of this campaign in which blood was
split took place in Norfolk county few
days ago. The parties to this alTair Of
honor were two negToes-John jasper and
Jas. Casey. The former, II Is said, Is d Demo.
cratic sympathizer, and the latter an out.
spoken Coalitionist Cameron adhercnt. A
dispute took place between these dusky
statesmen as 10 the relative merits OF their
political iavorites, Jasper insisting TINT
Daniel was the man who should have been
elevated to the gubernatorial chair. His
opponent took tho other side OF the cues
tion, and argued loud and eloquently in be-
half OF Cameron, the Coaltionist candidate
who was elected Governor at the recent
election. In q spirit Of fun the two disput-
ants decided to settle their differences Of
opinion after the fashion Of white Virginia
politicians, and an affair Of honor, intend
ed as mock one, was settled on. The
seconds were chosen, and dQuble-barrel
shot guns selected as weapons. The COM
batants went to the field, a few miles from
here, Sunday, ten PAGES were marked of,
aId the duelists took their places. At the
command both men fired. To the surprise
Of all engaged in the affair, jasper fell TO
the ground, and an investigation developed
a severe wound in the body Of the fallen
statesman, from which the blood was flow
ing freely. The wounded man was at once
removed TO q place where he could receive
medical treatment. Tho wound proved to
be more serious than WIS at first supposed.
jasper died Monday evening from the
effects Of his antagonists shot. 1t seems
that In loading Casey's gun, either acCi-
dentally or Intentionally, small bird.shot
had been put in the charge, which was In.
tended by the mock dueists only TO have
been composed OF powder. The deviation
from the programme was fatal, and Jasp.

gence In an affair the like Of which
had become so common during the poiti.

as very worthy colored men. II Is quite

FREE sLEEPERS
On the n, 4 o. to Flank vanderbiIcs
Cut In Passenger Rates.

CINCINNATI, November lT,-The recent
reduction in fares and the Inauguration ol
the fast trains from New York to Chicago
have to certain extent placed the lines Of
Mr. Vanderbilt and that Of the Penn.
sylyania Company in lead as it were over
the Baltimore & Ohio.
It is now automatically announced, upon
what seems to be good authority, that
Mr., Garrett is now contemplating flank
movement on Mr.. Vanderbilt, and will
make such great cut in passenger rates
that Vanderbilt can not compete with it.
in this movement 1t can be said that Mr.,
Garrett iS touching Mr.. Vanderbilt in a
tender place, so to speak,
Mr.. Vanderbilt, II is well known, Is
largely interested in all the Pullman sleep.
ing cars that are operated on his line Of
road, and they alone are great sources OF
revenue, and go far to make up what is lost
in the reduction OF passenger rates. Mr..
Garrett has not, for some time, allowed the
use OF the Pullman Bleepers over his lines
but has been operating his own sleeping
cars, OF which he is the sole proprietor.
In order to send terror 10 the Wander
bilt interests in the shape Of cheap fares
Mr., Garrett now contemplates running his
sleepers free Of charge for Washington,
baltimore and New York passengers, and
likewise for those coming West, The fare
from this city to New York is now $l2,
which does not include sleeping car fare,
The sleeping,car fare Is VI, which makes
the full fare SIG.
BY the free use Of sleeping-cars, tho fare,
with full privileges OF sleepers, will be re-
duced to $l2.
The reduction.and the superiority Of the
accommodations for the same amount OF
money must Of necessity work greater
competition than either Mr.. Vanderbilt or
the Pennsylvania Company will care to
meet, Should the enterprise be carried out,
as 1t seems 1t will, the rate OF free sleepers
will be given to all though passengers
from every point on the lines OF the
road. The running cost Of a sleepingcar
is not more than 800 per month,
which includes the salary Of the con-
ductors and the cost Of laundryingthe linen,
One conductor can well manage three
sleepers, which Is about the number gen.
orally run by each train, BY thus placing
one conductor In charge OF more than one
car the expenses will be materially reduced.
Such break by the Baltimore & Ohio
would seem to cause a decline In the stocks
Of the Pullman Company. ..
1t may be safe to predict TINT II this Is
carried out the Baltimore & Ohio will be-
come the most popular route between the
East and the West There Is no road that
can do q thing like this better than Mr..
Garrett, for he Is the only railroad opera
tor that owns and controls his own slecpers.
When the enterprise will 30 into effect
1t has not been decided upon, but It issup.
posed 1t will bG done now soon,
