WARRINGTON, July TN csnver-
saton this afternoon with DR., Boynton,
the Presidents family physician, DR..
Bliss expressed the opinion that the
Presidents chance of recovery was now
considerably more than even. The
danger of peritenitls, he said, was rapid
ly passing away, and although it might

rhage might occur at aGE time uR to
the seventh day, bat on account OF the
course which the ball teok, and the
place where 1t Il supposed to be, the
danger Of secondary hemsrrhage was
not, in Dr.. Bl.s's opinion, a serious
one. PJ@mia, or blood-poisoHing, was
THE ACCIDENT MOST TO BE FEARED,
and OF, that there was not yet, he said,
the slightest indication. An abscess
also might form at any point along the
course o; Tie ball or at the extremity Of
the wound, but with this. he said, they
could desl successfully. He expressed
great relimce upon the Presidents
vigorous constitution, strong vitality,
and calm courage. He was, the Doctor
said, the very best patient he had seen
in The soHfse Of lis surgical practice.
With resasa to
THE SUPPOSED COURSE OF THE BALL,
and its present location, DIR. Bliss said
that while they had not thought it pru-
dent to probe deeply in search of 1t,
either immediately after the infection OF
the injury or since that time. he did on
Saturday introduce a probe into the
wound very gently and traced the
course Of the ball about three and half
inches. 50 far as he could Judge 1t had
entered the back above the right hip
and taken a nearly horizontal course
forward through the body, striking and
slightly fracturing a rb, and beng thence
detected little to the night, where it
penetrated the liver. Whether the ball
remained ia that organ or passed

wall of the abdomen he was unable to
say, bat he hoped that the latter would |

A Destructive COnfiagratiOn
in Petersburg.

PETERSBURG, Va. July 7.-During
the sudden and severe wind storm this
evening about 7 o'clock fire broke out
in the planing-mill off. {. Wool, on
the wharf, destroying that building and
ali It's machinery. The flames were
carried across the street to Allison u
Addison's large warehouse, 200 feet
long, in which was stored between 600
and 700 tons Of fertilizers, completely
burning the building and running Its
contents. Some 200,0O0 feet Of but
tonwood lumber, belonging to Venable
& Co. and other tObaccOnists, IN lot
adjoining the warehouse, was burned
to ashes. anda large quantity OF cord
wosd belonging to George j. Rogers
was burned. The wind blew sparks a
long distance, setting fire to several
houses on BOllingbrOOk street, but
these were saved.
At one time there was fear of an ex-
tensive connagration, but the wind for
tunately subsidized about 9 o'clock, and
the fire was gotten under control.
Nearly all the parties who are losers
are partially insured, but a list OF psll-
c,es cannst be obtained tonight. The
loss will probably reach 100000, ard
several Richmond companies will
suffer. 1t is considered fortunate for

How THE NEWS is RECEIVED
The Springfield Republican calls atten-
ton to the fact that there are several
striking points IN the way in which the
attempted assassination Of President
Garfield is received and interpreted.
First, it is almost universally received
as an authoritative and ptovldentlal
summons of the nation to the reforma-
ten of the patronage, of the evils OF
place-seeklng and place-giying, and OF
bossing by aid of official place. Second
The calamity is deplered at the South as
heartily as at the North. Third, the
response Of Europe is for the most part
intelligent and sympathetic, showing
that 1.-THE united States Of the world"
Is not a distant idea. The world is now
at peace for the FIRST time in som
years.

nerves of the leg had not, he said, been

President was still in serious danger,
every day was carrying him past the
critical paints, one after another. and
he had strong hope that he would re-
