President had 9 riaor about ii O'Clock
this morning. 1t lasted about twenty
minutes, during which time bis pulse
ran up to 1877. After the rigor passed
of the President vomited considerably.
His pulse at this hour has decreased TO

The situation is decidedly critical, 10
asmuch as that there is Q great proba-
bility that more chills and fever will
occur. Il now transpires that there

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
ELBERoy, September l7--2:30 =. NJ
Up to this time no further riRors have
occurred. The last information from tho
sick room says tho patient 10 comfortable.
The pulse remains at 100. temperature
and respiration still high. Tho occur.
repoe Of rigor at this time is conceded
o. evidence OF acute pyemia, and great
fears are entertained that other chills
follow. Tho situation may be stated to
be Q race between exhaustion and
vitality. The President overcsme the
rigors which occurred in July. and 1t 10
thought possible he has sufficient
strength left to overcome the present
crisis. The opinion prevails that the
rIgor was oocssioned by a collection OF
pus in the track Of the wound. but Dr..
B~oynton's opinion Is that 1t 10 the re-
suit OF an abscess In the right lung.
