He Feels Better Than at at Any Time
Since the Improvement Began-SO
Electric a gent Has seen
Grants Throat

New YORK. April 26.-Shortly after IL
o'clock last night, General Grant fell asleep,
five minims of morphine having been sd-
ministeIed-one ninim less than usual.
Though he did not sleep continuously
through the night, the patient slept as much
as usual, and aroused Tor the day at o'clock
this morning. He was said by DR.. Douglas
to have been better to-day than any day
since the improvement began, Just 1o weeks
ago.
During the night the General coughed
much less than usual and expsctorsted
scarcely any.
DR.. Douglas arose late this morning and
left the Grant residence at o'clock. The
day broke cloudy, and al o'clock rain be-
gan falling, the air was chill and raw, pre-
cluding the possibility of the General going
out during the day. Drs. Barker, Douglas
Shrsdy and Sands met at the Generals house
for the regular weekly consultation at p.
N, This dialogue took place between DIR.
Barker and q reporter when the former left
the house after the consultation:
How is your pstient to day?' was atked.
He say be feels better than he has felt in
long time" YVES the doctors answer.
"As compared with his condition when
you last saw the General, what is his condi-
ten to-day"
The General says he feels better than he
has in weeks" said DR.. Barker.
But your opinion is worth more rs to the
Generals actual condition. Is his throat
improved or worse than on Wednesday
last?" urged the inquirer.
THE throat has cleared up some since
Wednesday, but there has been no radical
change IN the throat. We did not expect
that" replied Dr. Barker.
When DR.. Douglas left the house he said
General Grant was found to have improved
since the last consultation. the observation
of all the doctors resulting in that opinion.
The General wss feeling better and was bet
ter than since his improvement began. Dr..
Shrsdy would join Ds. Douglas Wednesday
afternoon next and the next full consulta-
ton would take place next Sunday.
In relation to certain arming statements
by an electric light agent, who carried his
machine to General Grants house Saturday
night and assumed to describe the appear
snce Of the Generals throat when he left the
house, it may be stated OF the authority of
DR.. Douglas that he did not see General
Grant, nor did he approach him any nearer
than the reception room down stairs; that
his machine Ior examining the throat with
electric hight was not used. Colonel Fred ID.
Grant eorroborated DR.. Douglas in this. He
said the electric light agent did not see GEN
eral Grant, much less examine his throat.
DR.. Newman called st p. m, anc re-
NAMED sn hour and q half. He says the
General is lively and cheerful, and has not
felt better in a week. The family will cele-
brste the Generals birthday quietly.

DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS
OF New York Have Come TO an Under
standing.

Special TO the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, April % There seems to be
no doubt that the Democratic factions in
New York, headed respectively by John
Kelly and Herbert o. Thompson, have come
to an understanding about New York City
patronage. The President has repeatedly
said to New Workers when they would call
on him to ask about New York appointments
that he would not even consider applications
until the factions could come to some under
standing. Now it is said that Kelly and
Thompson have had an amicable set
tlement, TammanY and the county De-
mocrscy men to share the Offices
on basis satisfactory to each
side. There seems to be no reason why,
with q good man at the head of the guber-
material ticket next fall, that New York
should rot not be carried for the Democracy
by so, 600 majority. II there is not serioas
break in the nomina nating convention the
State will most assuredly prove Democratic.

Judge Macarthur then charged the jury. He
ssio the material matter to ee inquired into
was whether the defendant made an attempt
10 corrupt the jury. The offense described
il the Indictment was the reading of GER
tain writing to the Stsr-ro1te jury. The
reading OF the paper was admitted. Whether
it was read with corrupt intent sh9ald be
determined hy the circumstances. There
was no doubt at all that Mr.. Dickson's act in
conveTsing with Bowen about the case during
trial, was most irregular and reprehensible
act be thought the Jury was Justified IN
inferriDg ID at Bowen did undoubtedly make
an attempt to corrupt Dickson. All the
Jurors, except one, declared the belief that
Dickson did not intend to inf1encs their
judement. He thought there could be no
doubt at all that a SET Of men were
set upon that jury TO watch them, and
many of them undoubtedly mistook their
duty and went so far as to involve
themselves in crime. Several of the jurors
spoke of this in the jury room, and finally a
vote was taken, snd Mr.. Dickson read the
paper From these various circumstances
the jury muet determine whether he had in
bis heart at the time corrupt motive. In
order TO convict they must be convinced
that he entertained a corrupt motive. Tire
jury then retired, and after an absence OF
half an hour returned verdict of not gu lty.
Mr. Dickson this afternoon entered suit
against ex.Attorney General Brewster for
lbel laying damages at $50 600, in having,
in Philadelphia, on the I'D Of April, TO re-
porter OF the Press, used the following
language of and concerning him:
Dickson sold that trial. Bowen was bad

is saying great deal"
Through this uttersnce Mr.. Dickson claims
he has suffered in his reputation. The writ
was placed in the MarshaIs hands. but the
deputy failed to serve il before Mr.. Brewster

ing Dead In Bed, Both Shot in the Head.

New ORLEANS. April PA dreadful trsg-
edy was discovered to-day at No. l46 Orange
street, when the police broke into the
house on the information that
there was something wrong there. Upon
bed lay two lifeltss bodies. They were those
of Mrs. Amilia Evans, wife of William Ev
ans, q member Of TarTeps police, and Csspsr
Wenger, grocery clerk. In the right side
of the woman's head just above the eye, was
an ugly wound, from which the BRAIN pro-
truded. The bullet which caused the death OF
the man entered the left temple and passed
completely through the head. At the in
quett this sfterAoon Evans was arrested.
de said in substance that he came home 81
the usual hour in the morning from his
work of watching all night and went to
his wife's bedroom. There he saw her aud
a man lying on the bed dead, inst as they
were found. He picked his child up. q baby
nine months old, and walked out, locking
the door and leaving the key in the lock.
he called a servant, Mamie Miller, and
gave the child TO her and went
out. The servant girl gave such evssive
answers that her arrest was ordered.
The theory about the killing is
that Evans had an iDkling OF bis
wife's infidelity, came home in the morning.
earlier than usual, surprised them probably
asleep, and shot them both. The pillow where
each head lay was powder burnt.
