SENATOR DAVIS is WORSE.
Progress of Disease Shown by High
Pulse and Respiration.

ST. Paul. Mimi, Nov. 2l-During the fore
noon and early afternoon to-day, Senator
Davis slept almost continuously. At noon
his temperature was normal, but his pulse
and respiration went so high as to indi-
cate fully the advance of the disease. This
was combined with a delirium that mani
tests itself during his waking hours.
The attending physicians have frequently
intimated to friends that they entertained
no hope whatever for his recovery. While
no official statement to this effect has been
made, the unofficial reports have gained
wide credence aud have tended to increase
the anxiety of Senator Davis's friends.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
Decision o. the court in the suits
Growing Out of sinking of the Ferry
boat Chicago by the steamer City of
Augusta.

New York, June 26.-Judge Addison
court, handed down an opinion in the
case OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company against the steamship City
of Augusta and the Ocean Steamship
Company, of Savannah, and the dam
cases against both companies nam
ed. The opinion is against the Penn
sylvania Company and, furthermore,
holds each company liable for the loss
of it's respective boat.
These cases grew out of the collision
between the steamship City Of Augusta
and the Pennsylvania railroad ferry
boat Chicago early in the morning of
October 31st last year, which resulted
in the sinking of the ferryboat and the
drowning Of three passengers.
Cross libels were filed by the owners
of each vessel for their respective dam
ages to the amount of 500, 900 for the
loss of the Chicago and $40, 455 for the
damages to the City Of Augusta. Lii
bells were filed for other damage claim
ants against the City of Augusta for
loss of life and damage to property to
the amount of s167, 1858. %. The owners
Of ach vessel thereupon filed petitions
to limit their liability, each denying
fault.
Claims for loss of life were allowed
to Jane Bryson, administrative of John
Bryson, a driver, $1,000; to Mary E.
Weir, Administrative of Alexander
Weir, a retail dealer, 81, 500: to Eliza
beth M~acready, administrative Of Chas.
E. Macready, a driver, $500. The
proofs of the other damage claims may
be aiken before a commissioner IL the
parties interested do not agree.
