 A fire had been lighted in his room, and early in the day his two married daughters, Mrs. Mccormick, of Jamaica, L. l., and Mrs Coles, of Richmond Hill, l.. l., called and spent the day with hina.
 After he had dressed and breakfasted he smoked a cigar and chatted cheerfully with Dr. Goldthwaite and his son. He assured them that beyond the natural feeling of weariness and soreness across the chest he was all right, and he sat up the greater part of the day.

Walker, Deshler Welsh, of Ohio !; Hon. Beriah Wilkins, Thomas Mast and Mr. and Mrs. George c. Gorham, of Washington
 Mir. Barnum was one of the first to see him. He was at the hotel waiting at an early hour, and appeared anxious and III at ease until he came down from the visit,
 "Oh, Thurman's all right he said to a friend who met him at the foot 0; the stairs
 Tom" Mast chatted with NJ. Thurman pleasantly for five or ten minutes and Stephen Elkins, who had called to sympa- thize with an old personal friend, was at once invited upstairs.
 Half a dozen others visited Judge Thur man, and all found him bright and cheerful, and feeling worse over the disappointment his illness had occasioned than anything else
 In the afternoon August Belmont called and rendered to MT. Thurman an invitation to an informal reception at the Manhatt tan club. MT. Thurman accepted, but upon the advice of Dr. GoldthN%<te gave it up later in the afternoon.
 After consulting with MT. Thurman and his son in the afternoon, Chairmen Brice and Barnum informed the Newark committee that Mir. Thurman would speak there as an- nounced tonight.

Thurman speaks at the Bellevue avenue rink, after which it will be attached to a western train, and the party will leave for home.
 Were it not for his western dates, Judge Thurman said yesterday that he should in- sist on staying and making a speech in New York
 Ex-Congressman Bookwalter, of Ohio, spent half an hour with him last night, leav, ing about o'clock, and half an hour later the old gentleman retired.
 Mr Bookwalter said: "There is no reason why Mr. Thurman should not speak to-mor- row night. He is all right, and remarkably vigorous and we'll preserved man. He was feeling very bright tonight, and smoked a cigar we talked"
