WARRINGTON, June Ia prominen
physician, in speaking Of Sheridan'
case tonight, said that Matthew ARNOLD
and his father and brother had all dice
of heart failure, the general failure beins
the same as that in General Sheridan
case.
Mathew Arnold, he said, had lived TO-
twenty years with this disease, by being
extremely careful Of his diet, and it wal
in this period he did his life-work
His death was finally caused by over-ex
ertion, which brought heart trouble ant
killed him. General Sheridan, he said
might live for years with this trouble
ii he recovered from the present attack
but 1t would be necessary for him tc
always exercise great care and subject
himself constantly to rigid discipline.

THE LATEST REPORT.
ga. M.--General Sheridan awoke from
light sleep short time ago and was
Immediately seized with slight attack
OF coughing which lasted for some min.
utes. The cough did not seem to be az

could be learned about General Sheridan
at the door, and it was insisted at first
that there had been no coughing, and
later that it was not the General but
some one else who had been coughing.
The attack caused all the physicians to
arouse and go to his bedside.

clearly shown by the brevity and evident
alarm expressed in the s 80 bulletin,
which in conclusion said: 1.-THE patients
condition still justifes the gravest anx-
iety."
