[sPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Samuel TildeH's Health.

den, is published in a Boston paper to-day.
The Times correspondent, after a very
careful inquiry this afternoon, has the
best reason to know that the dispatch is
correct. Mr. Tilden has been attacked
by a disease from which his physician says
he cannot possibly recover. He may
lingsr for awhile, but his death is certain.
His present trouble is mental, in medical
terms, ataxia, or disorder of the nerves,
and, in plain fact, an incident in his pro-
gress OF softening of the brain. Mr.. Til
den has been spending the Summer at
Greystone, his handsome country place,
perfect rest of mind and body. They
hoped that quietude would restore him,
but it did not, and all acute condition has
come on, completely disabling him. A
consultation of physicians has been held,
and the hopelessness of his case is now
understood alike by medical men and
the patient. Mr.. Tilden was some time
ago made aware of the danger he was in,
and the erection and decoration of his
magnificent new house in New York City
were meant by hin for diversion, to keep
his mind from more engrossing subjects.
A Times correspondent has it from a gen.
tleman in intimate relationship with Mr..
Tilden, that in consequence of the devel-
opment of this necessarily fatal malady,
he has resignedly laid down his life work,
and put himself in waiting for his death.
As yet his mind is clear, but he has scarce
ly any control of his nerves, and the ply
sicians say that his brain is already
seriously affected; that it will speedily
degenerate, and though he may live
several months, he may die at any time.
New YORK, Sept. 14.-Mr. Tilden is not
ill as reported. The story comes from st.
Louis. Mr.. Tilden rode out on horseback
yesterday.
Opposed to the Rising Prohibition
sentiment.
DETROIT, Sept. IA convention Of re-
tail liquor dealers, after a three days ses-
sion, adopted resolutions condemning the
rising prohibition sentiment, promising
to resist and prosecute the lower class
saloons i'll the city, which places are
heartily denounced. They generally pre-
fer the Republican candidate for Governor,
though he frankly advocates the submits
y VI liz pIOIlO4b4OA W t1lC
people. The fusion candidate is lodging
the question.
More Indian Raids.
LINCOLN, Sept. IA band OF 400 or
500 Indians have appeared on Beaver
Greek on the Kansas line south Of Dundy
County. They are stealing horses and
numbering settlers. Mr.. Holdridge, Su-
perintendent Of the B. & NJ. Railroad, in
response to a request, has sent an order
for a large amount Of ammunition to be
sent out on the train to-day. The Indians
are on the same route followed by the
Cheyennes when they escaped from Fort
Sill some years ago. There is intense ex-
element.
Shot by His Wife.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. IA Post-Dispatoh
special from Chattanooga, Tenn, Gays
Six months ago two sisters named Meri-
wether, daughters of a ~well-known citizen
of Huntsville, Alabama, eloped to this city
with their two beaux and were married.
One Of the sisters discovered that her
husband was a gambler and an opium
eater, whose name was David. He mis-
treated her and she left him. He logged
her footsteps, and on Tuesday night told
her that if she did not return to him q
murder would follow. He had a pistol in
his hand at the time. She was also armed,
and in an instant shot him through the
bowels. He died at 2 A. NJ. to-day, asking
that she be not arrested, as abe did it in
self-defense.
Political.
OMAHA, Sept. IA sensation has been
produced here by the announcement that
Senator Van Wyck will stump the Third
District. Turner, Van Wyck and valen-
tine have been in Congress together, and
Van Vyck's action is generally denounced
by stalwart Republicans, because il VAL
entine should be defeated it would proba-
bly, elect the Democratic candidate, who
will be the Hon. W. Monger Of Fremont.
There are just twice as many Republican
voters in the Third District as there are
Democrats, and if the Republicans split
Monger stands a fair show. Valentines
friends, however, have no fear.
