Precarious Condition of fEx-President
Arthur'S Health


New York special, 10TH: 1t is sad
but stubborn fact that ex-President
Arthur is III very critical condition
His closest friends are now for the first
time forced to admit that it Is doubtful
whether he ever again leaves his bed.
He has not been well man at any time
since he returned from Washington, and
his bodily ailments have finally had
their effect upon his usually strong
nerve centers. But this need not
necessarily mean that death is approach
ing. Gen. Arthur is only abont fifty
seven years old, and under the usual
conditions would have the constitution
al strength to overcome almost any ordi-
nary disease, but in taking account of
his stock of vitality, il must be remem-
bered that the ex-president hes for
twenty five years been very high liver.
Perhaps no man in the country has en-.
ioyed the fruits of the table and the
companionship OF interesting people
more lavishIy than Chester A. Arthur.
An intimate friend of his tells me to-
day that with all his trading in politics
and manipulation of men, he was vel.
come guest in many of the best circles
of New York long before he became exc
cutive of the nation. They say that
while handling politics he made close
frieL.!s of individuals who did not rank
with bankers and other wealthy men, as
we'll as with those who did, yet, when be
became the executive OF the nation, be
rose to the dignity of the position and
warded off many Of the men who had
heretofore been conspicuous figures oil
not only his political but also his social
life. Since his reonrn many of these
men have not helped to make his life
pleasant. He felt the loss of thei,
friendship,
Then again, ais stay in the white
house was to him an exceedingly ex
pensive one. He spent his salary il
giving those memorable entertainments
that were broader in scope and more
enticing in character than any that haC
ever been given in the executive mansion
by any of the presidents His life TO,
more than three years was romance o
pleasure as well as useful work. Tht
failure of his party to give him th,
chance of another four years of fam,
made him moody and distrustful. H,
thought it his due, and forgot ip bi
| chagrin that he not only did not worl
for the place, but permitted no one VIII,

IL death be an eternal sleep,
. Wh, doth the spring return
To scatter flowers beneath our feet,
And the wastes Of winter spurn?
IL death be an eternal sleep,
Why doth the buried grain
Send forth new harvests for man to reap
And whiten the spreading plain?
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why do we hope for heaven,
When the planets all their journeys keep
And never weary grow2
If death be an eternal sleep,
When will justice come,
To those who toll for Others meat,
And receive but soanty crumbs5
If death be an eternal sleep,
Why did the angels go
The poor man to bear to Abraham'a seat,
While the rich man was In woe?
If death be nm eternal sleep,
Why was mau ever born
And why should ho his vigiIs keep
Ii there is no coming morn?

ANTHONY, KAs,, April l9.-Thia morn,

named Adel, The latter was fatally
wounded and the Weaver boys were ar
rested and hurried away to avoid mob
violence. Last week they were returned
for trial, but their cases were continued
for the term with bail fixed at $4,000
each. At one o'clock this morning mob
OF forty or more armed men surrounded
the residence OF the sheriff, where the
prisoners we're under guard. The. guard
hearing them, rushed the prisoners out OF
the back door and into the basement Of
the new school building, The sheriff
was taken prisoner by the mob and
guarded, ~
The deputies finding 1t useless to resist,
surrendered, The Weaver brothers de-
tended themselves In their struggle for
life with a revolver, Which they had taken
from one Of the deputies, They were
finally oyerpowered by the mob and dis
armed. Ropes were placed about their
necks and preparations were made to
hang them 10 the rafters, but the Triangle
OF approaching feet frightened the mob
so they fired fifteen or twenty shots into
each man, literally shooting them to
pieces, and mounting their horses rode
rapidly away. The mother OF the boys
and the wife OF one Of them witnessed

sion among Senators and members Of

Senate has been to see him concerning his
amendment and he has little doubts that
the principle involved in it will be
adopted. ,t
The opposition to the Camden amend
ment comes from two sources, The West
srn men oppose it because they see in 1t
that their products will be brought in
competition with those Of intermediate
points, and that the Western shippers will
no longer enjoy the benefits Of discrimi-
nation in their favor.
There is also opposition from eastern
men who think its adoption will prevent
them from getting their provisions so
cheap. Mr., Camden says he intends to
maintain his ground; that the present
determinations are outrageous and have
osen great drawback to West Virginia.
He says he thinks he will have little oppo.
,ition from the railroads, as they realize
