THE SHADOW OF DEATH
Hangs Over the Sick Bed Of
Gen. William TeeumSeh

by Rev. Father Matthew
A. Taylor.
His Brave Words: "This Is
Only Temporary; I Will
Be All Right"
Erysipelas Has Developed, At
tended by a Burning
Fever.

New YORK, Feb. 11.-At AS o'clock
the Rev. Father Matthew A. Taylor, of
the church of the Blessed Sacrament,
was sent for by some member of Gen.
Sherman 5 family, and he arrived at the
house a few minutes later. At II: 45 he
was still there. No change in the con-
dition of the patient has been reported.
At ll:15 p. n. Doctors Alexander and
Janeway held consultation, after
which DR.. Alexander issued Du l.
letin stating that there had been no
change in Gen. Sherman'S condition
since the lost bulletin. At o'clock
pm. Gen. Sherman'S sOn,P Sherman,
said that his father had very slowly i'm
proved since morning. This morning
he was much worse than at any previ-
Gus time. AS the day wore on hopes
were once more entertained for the life
of the general. His condition when
evening came was still considered to be
precarious, but the success with which
he had battled during the day was the
foundation of new hopes for his ulti-
mate recovery. The Improvement
began about noon to-day, and in the
afternoon he frequently rallied su1fi-
GENTLY to recognize the members
of the family and those old friends
that were admitted to the sick chamber.
At times Gen. Sherman slept peacefully
as a child; and yet at other moments he
sank into an unconscious state from
which he could, however, easily be
aroused by those about him. During
the day two kilograms were received
from President Harrison inquiring
after the generals condition. At q
o'clock in the evening Gen. Thomas
Ewing sent the following telegram to
the president:
Family far more hopeful. Some
slight evidence of reviving strength"
Gen. Ewing was one of the callers
during the afternoon. He entered the
sick chamber about o'clock, and was
greeted by Gen. Sherman with:
Hello, Ewing, is that your
A little later he said to his son:
This is only temporary. lWlll be all
right"
Gen. Ewing, in speaking of Gen.
Sherman'S condition, said:
There is no decided improvement in
the symptoms and conditions, but he
is not as low as he was this morning.
When reused he is intelligent and free
from all halluclnatiOn. But yesterday
and to-day he has been much of the
time in state of semi-coma. His face
is little discOlored and his neck and
back good deal swollen. He moves
with great difficulty aud pain. His
speech is also difficult"
Every attention is given to the wants
of the sick man by skilled nurses and
ever-watchful. always-present doctors.
Here IS what the doctors bulletin said
at 7:15 D. M: General Sherman has
lost little strength during the day, and
his condition is about the same as in the
morning"
At 6 o'clock DR.. Green was relieved
on the watch by DIR. Alexander. the
army physician, whoWill stay all night.
At 10 o'clock this bulletin was sent out:
"Gen. Sherman slightly better since
last bulletin"

PIERRE, S. D., Feb. l1.-Republicans
In caucus last night again decided on
Senator Moody as the most available

BUYING UP CONTESTANTS.
Sensational Turn in the Davis Will
Case.

Case.
Special to the Globe.
BUTTE, MONT, Feb. 11-Much excite
ment exists to-day among those interest
ed in the Davis estate over the filing
of all assignment of interest by Thomas
jefferson Davis to John A. Davis. The
former is the illegal son of the deceased
millionaire living at Selma, Van Buren,
county, Ia. while John A. Davis of
Butte is the chief beneficiary of the al
legged will on the genuineness OF which
hinges the present contest. Ii the Will
is proven Thomas Jefferson will receive
anannuity according to the terms OF the
will, while If it is found fraudulent
Thomas Jefferson would be the next
best claimant to the estate provided he
could prove his sonShip. Thomas
Jefferson is, however, a young man,
and like his alleged father in his
young days, trifle wild and he doesn't
like the idea of waiting until the Davis
case is ended before getting rich, par
tlculary as he may be an old man be-
fore the controversy is over. SO to-
Gay he assigned 10 JOnn a. DaNlS dIl
his interest of whatever nature, in or
under the will of A. j. Davis now dis
covered, or under any will that may
hereafter be discovered, and all in
terest in all the property of his supposed
father. The price is not known. 1t
is stated as a valuable consideration,
and is said by an attorney in the case to
be only 100000. Judge Stapleton, the
lads attorney, declares that the assign
ment was made without his knowledge
or consent ana that it is a breach of a
contract made last spring, by which
the young mans interests were joined
with those of the contestants in the
case. There are several other alleged
Legitimate sons and daughters, but it
is doubtful If their claims are good
enough to make a purchase OF their
interests probable.

HEARD AT PEORIA.
Gibson's Arrest Said to Be Con-
spiracy of Whisky Men.


PEORIA, Ill.,, Feb. 1.-THE arrest of
George j. Gibson in Chicago to-day
caused intense surprise here. At trust
headquarters every office is deserted.
and no one can be seen. President
Greenhut went to Washington ten days
ago and is still there. although his rela-
tiyes and friends do not know what
hotel he is at. His son said tonight if
his father desired to say anything ON the
subject he would make his whereabouts
known, otherwise not. Last night
Gibson and wife started for
Cleveland to visit E. Scoville,
father Of Mrs. Gibson, who was
reported i'll. Whisky men here all de-
clare themselves of the opinion that
Gibson'S arrest is the result of a con-
spiracy on the part of distillers outside
the trust, and that the case has been
worked up by them. Gibson is Can
adian by birth, and for several years
was chief clerk in the c., c. d
|. X. i'll Cleveland. After mis- marriage
he came here in 1879 with Warren and
Frank Corning, who purchased the
Monarch diStiliery. and began services
as a bookkeeper. In 1881 the Western
Export association formed and he was
secretary. He has since held the posi-
ton, although the name is changed to
the Western DistlllerS' and Cattle
Feeders association. He drew a
salary of $4,000 yearly, and was given
opportunities to double that amount.
Gibson came here poor. but is now rated
at $l50.0U0 and owns beautiful villa on
Prospect hill. Mayor Clarke, who with
drew from the association, was inter-
viewed tonight. He says Gibson is not
such fool as to deal with a
gauger in such a terrible affair.
According to Mr.. Clarke, Gibson is ac-
counted cool, deliberate and cautious
man in all his dealings. and not at all
liable to have connections with such
matters. A rumOr spread here tonight
that United States detectives who were
here a week ago gained an entrance to
Trust headquarters and searched it care
fully. In the basement they found
a dynamite machine and explosive
chemicals sufficient to destroy all the
distilleres in the world. 1t is known
officers were here, but the story about
searching whisky trust headquarters
cannot be traced to any reliable source.
Several prominent whisky men will go
to the aid of Gibson.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1l.-President
Harrison Is considering the name of
Thomas Lowry, the Minneapolis street
railway magnate, in connection with
many others, as capable man to step
into the late Sebre tary WINDOWS shoes
in the treasury department. His name
was brought to the attention of the
president by Senator Pierce, of North
Dakota. Mr.. Pierce explained at
great length Lowry's well known
financial abilities. The president
gave Pierce his undivided at
tention and asked him many
questions about Lowry. His popular
ity. his political affiliations and every
thing else were inquired into. Senator
Pierce is a warm personal friend of
Lowry, and naturally he poured an en-
tnuSiaStlc story about LOWry'S valuable
points INTO the presidents willing ears.
Pierce is as close to Harrison as any
man in the country, and even though
he was defeated for reelection he still
Yields the same influence at the White
house that he did before his defeat. His
championship of Lowry may bear fruit.
Pierce is so much impressed with
his talk with the president that he
decided to enlist others to champion
Lowrv's candidacy. To-day he outlined
his ideas to Senators Davis and Wash
burn and many other Western men.
He said that Minnesota might be hon
ored again through Lowry, provided
that the proper kind of canvass in his
behalf was made. He added that Lowry
was fully competent to discharge the
duties that would be imposed upon him
if appointed. He was regarded as fully
as strong a financier as Window in the
East. Pierce says he is prepared to con-

NELSON IN TROUBLE.
His Confirmation Postponed Pend.
ing an Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Jud La
Moure and his father-in-law. n E. Mel
son, who was appointed collector of
customs for the new Pembina district,
in North Dakota, are in trouble. Mel
son has not yet been confirmed, and his
appointment was tied up. To-day it was
learned that charges were to be filed
against Nelson alleging that he
was short in his accounts. Senator
Frye, chairman Of the committee on
commerce, has been notified by Senator
Casey that charges of this nature were
to be filed against Nelson, and he asked
that no effort toward his confirmation
be made until the committee had had
an opportunity to investigate fully.
Nelson was appointed through Senator
Pierce's influence. Pierce said to-day
that he would insist upon Nelson's con-
firmation unless the charges to be made
against him were sustained. Pierce
evidently regards the matter as trick
of some of his and Jud La Moure's po-
litlral enemies
