FACING DEATH.
General Phil. sheridan seriously rii-TIesrt
Disease the Trouble.


wAsnrSoToS, May 28.-The reticence Of
those most intimately associated with
General Sheridan delayed the publication
Of history OF his sickness. He returned
from fatiguing trip In the Mississippi
Valley about two weeks ago, and, although
he did not feel as strong MS usual, he went
to his Office in the War Department every
day till last Tuesday. On Monday he
went home on account OF illness, and that
night was seized with terrible pains In the
heart. Surgeon OReilly and priest were
summoned and the sacrament Of extreme
unction was administered, but the
case yielded to medical treatment, and on
Thursday the General was to go to his
office, but was restrained by his doctor.
Thursday night the heart pains returned,
and the alarm was renewed, and those
who had been so secretivo were obliged to
acknowledge that General Sheridan's con-
dition was and had been very alarming.
His main ailment is what is technically
known as valvular heart disease, and it is
understood that as a result Of his heart
trouble he is affected dropsically. He re-
clines In an arm chair rather than upon
bed, as a measure Of safety and comfort.
WASHINGTON, May 2T.-General Sheri-
was last night He appears to be gradu-
ally sinking, and almost all hope has been
abandoned. His strength Is gradually
failing, and while there has been no
recurrence Of the heart failure, there
is continual tendency in that direction,
and his pulse has been growing weaker
and his breathing moro labored. The
blood is thick and black. Ever since tho
attack last night the physicians have been
doing every thing in their power to stimu-
late the action of the heart, but without
success and its beating is feeble and un-
certain despite the administration Of digi-
tails and other powerful remedies His
strength has gradually failed during the
day, and tho hope that he would be able
to rally has proved Elusive.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-General Sheridan
has had bad day. He has not rallied
from the heart failure Of five o'clock Sat-
urday evening, and his condition is q lii.
/ tie worse than it was twenty-four hours
ago. His lungs are much affected,
and the frequent administration of oxygen
is necessary to prevent blood-poisoning.
The oxygen has delrous effect upon him,
but when not under the influence Of 1t he Is
rational, and re cognizes all about him.

FOUR MURDERS.
Illicit Distillers and the County
officials Come Together.
Pike and Floyd Counties the sccnc Of the
Latest Collision--A Deputy Sher.
IN Among the Killed.

CATLErrsBuRe, KY, May 25.-Score four
more murders for the Big Sandy Valley.
Intelligence reached this place this morn
ing that the remnants OF the Hatfield Nc
Coy gang had collidcd, and that three men
were killed. With the remembrance OF
the recent merciless vendetta between
these warning elements fresh In the minds
Of the people excitement was correspond
ingly high when the news was received,
and a reporter at once set about to
get full particulars. Upon investiga-
tion he found that the reported
massacre was unfounded and that
the killings were not one of those
fashionable Kentucky feuds. The first on
the list was the killing of Preston Fleming
by Robert Davis, a couple Of miles above
Pikeville. In Pikeville and Pike County
local option prevails, and there are three
illicit distilleries over in Knox County,
until recently part of Pike. Those en-
gagged in the manufacture Of whisky go
over the line into Pike and sell their wares.
Eight Of these men were dett cted carry
ing on their business, and tho Pikeville
authorities, headed by Marshal Davis and
Jailor Cline, went out to capture the
gang. They discovered seven in their
TcHtlcLNOuSs III Olu WuicuOuoCt ahu Aha' .
Cline gained his way into the building and
held them at bay. Preston F.eming, who
happened to come up, took in tie situation
at glance, and attempted to shoot Cline,
when Davis, one of the guard, who saw
him with his gun cooked and pointed at
Cline, shot and killed him. He fell near
the door. The other seven were landed in
the Pike County Jail. Davis, fearing
trouble, left for parts unknown. The sec.
ond happened on Proter, in Floyd
County, in which Jake Hold
erfeld, an ex-deputy United States
marshal and deputy sheriff of Floyd Coun-
ty, was killed. John Hall stood indicted
for burglary in the Floyd criminal court,
and Holderfield went out to arrest him.
AS he entered Halls house the latter shot
him through the head, killing him in
stantly. Immediately after the murder
Hall fled. The excitement is high, and il
he is captured he will be lynched. The
other two murders occurred over on
the Tug Fork of Sandy, in Pike County,
and my informant gave it as an authen-
tic report that Thomas Cline and Henry
Simpkins had qnarreled over trivial
matter, when Cline whipped out his re.
volver and shot Simpkins, killing him in
stantly. Cline at once left the scene, but a
few hours later his body was found only a
few miles away with bullet through it,
and the supposition is that Cline's friends
in endeavoring to capture him had to kill
him. The Boyd County grand jury ad'
journed yesterday, after a ten days ses.
sion, during which time they examined
two hundred and seven witnesses and
found one hundred and twenty-six indict.
ments. In the criminal court to-day Lem
Bolts was given three years for cutting
with intent to kill; Cooch Page, three
years for grand larceny, and John oliver
two years for grand larceny, all colored,
Court is still in session.

One Train Thrown Into a Ditch by
the Giving Way Of a Bridge.


KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May 23.-A double
wreck of freight trains occurred this morn
ing near Randolph, five miles east of here,
on the Rock Island road, which resulted
in the death of +. q. Armstrong, brake
man, OF Bclleville, o.; I. Royston, brake
man, of Edgerton junction, Kas. James
Taylor and Emil Stroehm, tramps, and
an unknown tramp. Benjamin Norris.
Rock Island engineer, OF Chillicothe, Mo-;
Ben Mcclellan, of Kansas City, Wa
bash engineer; G. j. Snyder, a Rock Island
fireman, of Trenton, No., and q colored
man were seriously hurt. The first
train, which was Of the Rock Island,
went through a bridge over deep
ravine, through which quite large stream
of water runs. The engine and five cars
were wrecked. Tho engineer and fireman
escaped, but Brakeman Royston was kill
ed. Brakeman Armstrong, who had safely
escaped injury, was sent back to flag a
freight train of the Hannibal and st.
Joseph, which uses the Rock Island track
at that point. The Wabash Western runs
parallel with the Rock Island here and
within few feet of it. The Wabash bridge
over the ravine where the accident oc-
Cured Is within two feet OF the
Rock Island bridge, the two being braced
together. About ten minutes after the
first wreck Wabash freight came thun-
dering along and struck Brakeman ARM
strong, who for some unknown reason
was on the Wabash track, mangling him
horribly. The engineer of the Wabash
train did>not notice the Rock Island wreck
until too late. Engineer Mcclellan and
Fireman Snyder jumped and escaped,
with serious but not fatal injuries, while
Brakeman Royston and the three tramps
were killed. A colored man from Chilli
cothe, who was stealing ride, was also
hurt The Wabash train consisted Of six
teen cars. Traffic on the Wabash
and Hannibal roads is wholly
suspended, but it is expected, will
be resumed within thirty.siX hours. The
total damage is estimated at $4,000. 1t
now appears that seven lives were lost in
the wreck. Ben Norris, the man who was
fatally injured, says that an old man and
his son were in the box car with him and
they have not yet been accounted for.
| There is also said to be another tramp
buried in the ruins. One hundred men
| are at work for tho Rock Island clearing
away the debris, and sixty-five are en-
| gagged in the same work for the Wabash.

turned Mrs. Archer was dead. 1t is gen.
