Governor Marvel Is today decidedly
better. He has been gradually improving
aimee Sunday, the 18th. Having chronic
heart difficulty and an acute attack Of
nephritis seizlng him, he was at one
time very sick man; but now, the acute
stage having passed and with vigorous
onstitution-impaired by no bad habits
to assist him, we see no reason why he
will not soon recover his average state of
health. He has suffered no operation, as
stated in report of yesterday, neither
has any consulting physician been sum-
moned from any neiQhboring city,"
