UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.
ELBERoN, N. j., Sept. 19-9 SO a..
m.-The rigor of this morning lasted
nearly twenty minutes, and
was quite severe one. The
President is reported as having slept
some since it subsidized, but is now
awake. He has taken small guam
tlty OF nourishment. The frequency
of the chills occasions grave anxiety.
DR.. Bliss is of the opinion that if the
rigors continue for forty-eight hours
the President can not live, and it is
quite possible that he will be carried
! off in one of the chills.
ELBERoN, 1910 a. m-Dr. Boynton
says that during the prevalence OF
the igor the Presidents pulse went
to 142 beats, and was very feeble
At this hour it was decreased tc
about 14O beats. The patient is ex
tremely weak, and there is cause fol
alarm. DR.. Bliss is of the opinion
that the President may die in one
of these rigors should they continue
to be frequent.
ELBERoN, September 19-10.4O a. m
DIR. Agnew says the situation al
this time is decidedly gloomy and
could not we'll be worse. The Presi
dent has not rallied as usual from
the effects of the rigor. Much ex-
citement prevails and the worst fears
are entertained, and Justly SO. The
chill came on while the morning
dressing was in progress, and tha
dressing had to be stopped on ac'
! count Of its occurrence. The patient
first complained of feeling cold, ant
) was almost Immediately attacked
t with paroxisms of shaking during
/ the time the chill prevailed. DR.
Bliss says that vomiting and sever
} retching occurred. The r;gor wa
| of about 90 minutes duration. AT

, took of some nourishment, and hi
: pulse fell about three beats to lac
! While the chill was on the pulse wa
143, and very feeble.

81 lips a. m.-The guards abou
n the Francklyn Cottage were ordered
. . IN the event of the Presidents de
mise, to Immediately extend thei
picket lines, and no one will be a
lowed to approach near his quarters
In the event of immediate danger G
the President dying the government

telegraph wire which runs to E

n IN that event, have to be sent tw
