SHINGTON. D. c.. WE
MR.. TAULBEE'S CONDITION
Not Materially Changed, but DR.. Bayne
Stil Hopes for His Recovery.
Will ex-Representative Taulbee recover from
| the wound inflicted by Kincaid? is still lead
ing question at the Capitol and throughout the
city. The case excites Is much interest as al
most any Of late years in this city. Both men
| were prominent socially and politically.
Mr.. Taulbee this morning was in practically
| the same condition as reported in yesterday q
STAR. Any new symptoms which have de-
veloped have generally been in favor Of the
sufferer, but these changes have been so slight
that the patient may be said to be materially in
the same condition.
DIR. BAYNE STILL HAS HOPES
DR.. Bayne, the attending physician, contin-
ues to retain hopes ofJthe patients Ultimate re-
covery. DR.. Bayne has been one Of the hope
| full ones since the first and at no time
| has despaired. He regards the condition
| OF Taulbee as very dangerous and as critical
as he did when he made the first diagnosis,
| but still hopes for the best In conversation
with a STAR reporter this morning he said:
"Mr. Taulbee passed an easier night last night
than usual. This was partly due, however, to
hypodermic injections. This morning he
| awoke with violent pains in the head, due in
all probability to the injury Of some branches
OF the nerves. The pain was allayed by proper
medication and the patient has since been
resting comparatively easy. The temperature
this morning was one degree less than at the
same time yesterday, which il q good sign.
Inc irritation and swelling in the throat have

more ease. What changes have taken
place are generally in favor of the patient He is,
OF course, in ost critical condition, the chief
danger to be aplrehended being from blood
poisoning"
OPINION OF DIR. TAULBEE.
DR.. Taulbee, the brother of the wounded
man, who is in close attendance in the sick
room, has never taken a very hopeful view Of
the case. He has from the first been prepared
for the worst. He sums the case up
this m 'rninR as being mo more alarming and
little or no Improvement" DR.. Taulbee says
his brother slept quietly from II to last night
| and seemed refreshed, although he awoke with
| violent pains in the head.
THE BULLET.
| No further examination has been made as to
the course Of the bullet. and at the consultation
yesterday it was decided not to do so for the
present. as it is believed that no further harm is

| to treat it antiseptically and to noursh and
| strengthen the patient.
MIR. Taulbee's Statement of the Shooting.
STAR reporter succeeded in seeing ex-Rep-
| resentative Taulbee for few minutes this az
| ternoon. The patient was in no condition to
talk.
DIR. Taulbee, brother of the wounded man,
| agreed to make statement Of the facts as he
learned them from his brother.
he was sure that all his state ments we're alb
solutely correct and would be vouched for by
| his brother if he recovered
DIR. Iauibee said the disagreement between
| the two men began during the Forty-ninth
Congress when MIR. Kincaid secured an ap-
and employed a colored man to do the work at
about half the salary he drew himself.
MIR. Taulbee by resolution in Congress and
other efforts attempted to neutralize all the
| appointments where sub employees performed
all the work but got only part OF the compen-
! sation.
He insisted on the appointment of young
| man by the name of Kendall from his own dis
| trict
| Kincad tried to induce Taulbee to give him
the position.
Taulbee refused to indorse him but preferred
| man from his own district whereupon Kin
caid became offended and threatened to make
| him sorry
kincaid made several statements in the Louis
| vile Times detrimental to Taulbee's character,
many OF which he promised to correct
At length he published the scandal concern
ing MIR. Taulbee, subsequently to which Taul-
bee almost entirely ignored him.
| On Friday, the 2Sth, soon after the hour OF
IL o'clock, Taulbee and Kincaid met at the
east door Of the House.
Mr.. Taulbee asked Kincaid to 20
somewhere with him and have a
| consultation, but Kincald said he could not 60,
as he was expecting to meet gentleman,
| emphasizing the word gentleman; that he had
made up his mind to have nothing to do with
| him.
The rest Of the meeting was substantially as
reported in the papers until the time of Mr.
Taulbee walking down the steps with Mr.. Dom
aldson.
kincaid saw the pair go down the steps and
followed. Taulbee turned his face and Kincaid
| shot him.
There was no meeting or consultation on the
| stairway.

and did not know who it was that shot him un-
| til told afterwards
