dition since the last bulletin.
SOMERSET, O., June S-Mrs. John Sheri
dan, mother of General z. H. Sheridan,
who mas been i'll for some time, had an
other relapse yesterday afternoon and is in
q critical condition. The doctors fear she
can not live The serious illness of heI
son Phil has never yet been made known
to her for fear of serious results. Constant
communication, both by telephone and
telegraph is kept up with General Sheri-
dams house in Washington.
At 1870 a. IN. General Sheridan was rest
ing easily with no especial change in his
physical condition. His mind is perfectly
clear This morning he asked his brother
several questions about the political news
of Yesterday an dmade two or three char
acteristic comments.
At II o'clock this morning it was stated
that the generals mind had remained per-
fectly clear. He was resting quietly, with
little or DO pain, and for the time being,
his condition was slightly improved The
organic disease from which he suffers,
however, remains unylelding. He was
more or less delirious all through the
night; not violently though for he was too
weak for that, but he could not recognize
members of the family or physicians, and
refused to take medicine or nourshment.
About ) o'clock this morning his mind
cleared and he readily took milk. The
medicine was given hypodermically Each
of the several attacks which he has had
lately left him much weaker than previous.

factory, and altogether the case is most
desperate. From information received
from high sources it is believed the end is
not far off.
