SPRINGER IMPROVING.
The Physicians Now Think Tint He Will
Recover.


Recover.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-lSpecial -
There is unquestionably an improve
ment in tho condition OF Congressman
Springer this morning.
The erysipelas, which has been affect
ing his brain. is rapidly subsiding, and
the doctors express belief that all dan
ger OF death, as direct result Of ery
sipelas, is passed. The only menace to
the patients life now lies in the great
prostration and loss Of vigor which has
resulted from the ravages Of the maladv.
An affectian, styled by the physicians
q nervous cough. still continues to be
the most dangerous symptom.
The physicians this morning author
lied the statement that their patient Is
passing. II no change for the worse
takes place during the day they believe
that he will recover unless some unfor-
seen reason or accident should cause n
relapse.
The purple swelling in the face and
head has 80 far subsidized that in another
day che features will almost have as
sumed their normal appearance. Mr..
Springer Is more restful, and at inter
walls is able to get few minutes APP
parently peaceful slumber.
These symptoms augur we'll, but the
most favorable of all is that the patient
himself has once more taken hope, and
is now battling vigorously for life
Yesterday he had quite given up, and
expressed the opinion, in confidence to
his wife and family. that death must
ensue. But this morning ne frequently
announced tho conviction that he had a
new hold, as he expressed it. and that
the battle is not lost yet.

The grading is considerably in ad-

Just one mile that has the requisite
thickness OF macadam. The guttering
Is several hundred feet in advance of
the macadam
Il have made due allowance in the
estimate for the condition OF tho gutter

will have to DO relaid and the rolling
has not been sufficient or satisfactory.
Yet the weather has not been suitable,
Tor, while it has been fair weather for
the most pare of February, the freezing
at nights, then thawing during the day'
has prevented to some extent tho stone
from remaining solid after wetting and

.
The contractor wishes to be allowed
to begin grading on other streets. You
Will remember that Campbell street
was given him and the work begun, but
now ne prefers to discontinue work
there and asks to be allowed to have
streets as Eear as possible contiguous to
Jefferson street, on account of having to
move the roller so far from each piece
of work. But it seems absurd to asl,
that more streets be given him when his
present facilities for following up the
grading with the improved street are so
poor. His rolling Is far behind The
other work, and tho rolling is the prin-
cipal feature in macadum."
