The Illness of General roombs.

WASHINGTON Ca, Sept. 29-The condition
of General Toombs is but little changed. He
grows gradually worse, and his relatives are
daily more apprehensive that the end is not far
off. The paralysis with which his left side has
been attacked has completely deprived him of
the use of his left leg and arm, and that side of
the body is slowly but surely yielding to the
stroke. His mind wavers and he frequently
imagipes himself participating in the stirring
events of the war. or arguing some important
case at the bar. He recognizes his intimate
friends, but in conversation carries them back
with him to the period at which his mind seems
to rest. He is constantly attended by his physi-
cian DR.. G.. w. Mullgan.
