NEW YORK, April 16, p. m.-[Spe-
cial. lat 8 o'clock this morning DR..
Hartley said In his official bulletin that
there was no material change in Mr..
COnkling's condition. His pulse and
temperature were about the same.
The patient slept for four hours
during the night and was still asleep at
8 O'clock. Mrs COnkling took a good
deal of nourishment during the night.
DR.. Barker called upon MIR. Conkling
at 9:I5 O'clock, and remained with his
patient nearly three quarters of an hour.
He was accompanied by DR.. Sands,
When DIR. Barker came out he an
nounced, officially, that Mr.. COnkling
had passed a very comfortable night.
The physician now places Mr.. Conk-
ling's chances as one IN five, says that
Mr.. COnkling is quite strong, compara-
lively speaking, owing to the amount
of nOurishment he has been taking.
His pulse is 81, temperature SO, and re-
spiration normal. DR.. Sands dressed
the wound. Mr. Conkling complained
a great deal of pain which Dr. Barker
pronounced good sign, as it shows
the sensiliyeness of the patient whose
system must be improving to feel the
pain so acutely. The wound has begun
to heal, and DR.. Barker expresses him
self as being decidedly hopeful, so much
so, that he will not, unless called upon,
visit Mr.. Conkling until 2 or 3 o'clock
this afternoon.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Anthony Comstock Defendant in Suit Of
That Sort.

Anthony COmstock Defendant in Suit Of
That Sort.
New YORK. April 1S-Not a little surprise
was manifested yesterday when it was
learned that Anthony Comstock was to be
made party defendant in a suit for heavy
damages for alleged conspiracy. The other
defendant, it was said, was to be Mr.. John
N. Stearns, the silk manufacturer. The
plaintiffs are John Hemmens and Henry M.
Shirley.
They formerly kept a saloon in the base
ment of Mr.. Stearn's building, No. so Broad
way. They had lease of the place which
had not run out when Mr. Stearns deter
mined to rebuild on his property. He
offered to buy their lease but they would not
accept hi figure and then they allege people in
the employ of Mr.. Comstock and Stearns be-
gan to frequent their place and play poker
there
The result was, as they further allege, that
the place was raided by Comstocks officers.
Mr.. Hemmens was tried in special sessions
under the gambling act, and fined $50. Mr..
Hemmens has appealed from this Judgment.
He and his partner were next dispossessed
by Judge Clancy in suit brought by Mr..
Stearns. Hence the action against Mr.. Com
stock and Mr. Stearns.
The papers in the suit have not been
served yet, but Stearns g. Curtis, Mr..
Stearns' counsel, say they have no fear Of
the result of the suit The convictions in
special sessions, they say, disproves the con-
| spiracy charges.

Conkling's Condition---Gen-
eral Domestic News.

BERLIN, April 17.-[Special. / The
North German Gazette, this morning,
says: "The Emperor's condition did not
improve yesterday. His fever contin-
ues, showing that the malady is no
longer of a purely local nature. DR..
Bergman attends regularly on the EN-
perOr. DR.. Krause resides temporarily
at the CASTLE"
The National Zeitung says: "The
Emperor's new trouble is not case of
simple bronchial Inflammation, but an
extension of the disease in the larynX
to the bronchial tubes and lungs. This
new complication is the result of what
occurred last week. The canula not
lying in the proper position became
stopped up, and the secretion from
the larynx, instead of finding an outlet
through the canula passed along out
side of it into the bronchial tubes, pro-
ducing the Inflammation.

Useful Baking Powder Fact.

The following hints may prevent the
housekeeper from being imposed upon:
If, when two samples of baking pow
der are tested by mixing with cold
water, one of them boils up quickly,
effervescing like sedlitz powder, and
the other rises more slowly, foamlng
like yeast, and, perhaps, standing over
the top of the glass, it is an evidence
of the purity of the former and the
adulteratiOn of the latter. The differ
ent action of the second is caused by
the addition of flour or lime, or both.
Put little flour in the other and mix
it Thoroughly, then stir into the water
and the same result is produced, the ac-
ton being more or less slow according
to the amount of flour added.

The Explanation Satisfactory.

From the Massillon Independent:
The Canton DEMOCRAT criticises
this paper for having asserted that
Representative Monnot voted against
the two-cent rate bill. The Independ-
ent freely cOnfesses that it was first en-
abled to secure the vote in detail from
the Cleveland Leader, which declared
that the vote on Smalley's amendment
was "the first taken on the direct prop
osition to make plain two-cent rate"
This was the only question on the sub
ject concerning which the Leader took
the pains to indicate individual action,
and as Mr.. Monnot voted i'll the mega
tive, there was but one inference. Since
then the vote on the final passage of
the act has been received, showing Mr..
Monnot on the right side. The indie
pendent gladly makes the correction,
and trusts that the DEMOCRAT will see
that the error was one of neither inten-
tion nor carelessness.

BLINKY MORGAN
Makes a Statement Over His Own Sigma
ture Regarding His Case.

ture Regarding His Case.
COLUMBUS, April 15.-"Bhnky" Nor
gan has at last made written state.
ment over his own signature
regarding his case. The statement is
lengthy, reviewing the testimony upon
which he was convicted, and giving
reasons why he thinks he has been dis
eliminated against in the matter OF a
new trial. Morgan goes into details,
attempting to point out the flaws in the
case, and compares his trial with that
of Robinson in an effort to show that
the evidence against him was not even
as convincing as that against the 9th
ers. In substance he says that during
the entire trial the argument was
used against him that he had been
engaged in the fur robbery and there
fore must be interested III the escape
of McMunn, while no proof was offered
to show that he was Implicated in the
robbery. On the other hand there was
evidence to show Robinson's conneC-
ton with the robbery. Witnesses had
testified that Robinson was on the
train when the murder was committed,
and he proved that he was elsewhere.
One witness swore that he took his
breakfast at his eating house on the
morning of the murder when he was
not at home then or for two weeks after
"a fact he says, that was fully proved.
Morgan says he was not allowed to
show how easy it was to be mis-
taken as to the identity which
connected him with the res
cuing party. Referring to Captain
Hoehn's testimony, Morgan says the
former swOre that he (Morgan) was
down on the floor in the car fighting
with him all the time until the prisoners
rescue was effected, while woman who
was on the train at the time of the
time of murder swore that Morgan was
sitting in the ladies car, and at Raven
ma rushed to the platform, held the car
door fast so the passengers could not
get out, at the same time urging the
Tescuers to hurry along with their
prisoner. This woman failed to identi-
fly him in prison at Ravenna, but on the
witness stand sWore that he was the
man who held the car door. During
the trial he says the jury was brought
back and forth among crowds who
yelled, "The murderers ought to be
burned at the stake" "Hang them,"
etc. 1t was evident, he says, that lie
had not the ghost of chance for fair
trial, and there being so many errors in
the case as to leave no boubt in the
minds of the defense that new trial
would be ordered, his case was rested
before they had finished.

WASHINGTON, ID. g., April 16, 'S8.
To THE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCIAL
GAZETTE, Cincinnati, Ohio: Your issue
of the 10Th inst. contains letter from
Governor Foraker to the Republican
Convention of the Sixteenth Congress
ional District of Ohio, advising the
adoption of resolutions cOndemning
my action in voting with every Demo-
Crat in the House, save one, to postpone
the bill refunding the direct tax until
December next.
If the Governor will attend to the af-
fairs for which he was elected and
NEEDLE less with the affairs of others
the State of Ohio might not now be in
the humilating position of appealing to
the Federal Treasury to save it from
bankruptcy. Or if the Governor will
pause in his crusade against Senator
Sherman long enough to look at the
record he will find that when present |
voted against all dilatory motions, was
friend of the bill and am now, and
the terms upon which we consented to
postpOnement insures its passage
next December. No one seems to be
troubled save our embryo vice Presi-
Dental candidate, and his attempts
cOvertly to injure me with my con
stituency, to whom | am alone respon-
sible, is indecent as well as impertin
