Milhurn House. Buffalo, Sept. TO-
After the last bulletin had been is
sued from the Milburn residence last

In fact by 1880 o'clock the entire
temper Of everybody about the Mil
burn residence seemed to have under
gone a radical change. The police did
not stop wagons from going by the
nearest corner at high speed.
The regular army guard was not so
particular about those who passed up
the guarded street. The newspaper
men did not maintain the quiet that
has prevailed during the past two
days. Even those who came from the
mansion where the wounded man lies
stopped on the corner to laugh and
chat. From sombre foreboding the
feeling suddenly turned to joyful
confidence that the nations ruler was
TO be spared.
At 1850 the lights in the mansion,
except those dimly shining in the sick
room. were extinguished, and by IL
O'Clock peaceful quiet reigned about
the Milburn home. On the dark cor
ner of the street soldiers, policemen
and newspaper men kept vigil, how
ever sheltered beneath their tents.

SHERIFF RECEIVES NOTICE
OF PRISONERS TRANSFER

In the office OF Judge J. Frank Ball
at 10 o'clock this morning, the regu-
lar monthly meeting Of the new
wOrlahOuse trustees was held.
The principal. work Of the morning
session was to serve notice on Sheriff
Mcdaniel that they will be ready to
receive the prisoners of New Castle
jail within ten days, according to the
provisions OF the act.
This notice causen not a little sur
prise, as the universal opinion was
that the workhouse would not be
ready for occupancy before the first OF
October.
All doubt has been relieved by the
notice concerning the sentencing of
prisoners at the coming term of court.

PENNOCK PUNEY SAYS
CONTINENTALS DIDN'T FORD

Pennock Pusey, recognized author
ity on Delaware history. confirms
Amos G. Brinton's statement that
Washington and his army did not ford
the Brandywine creek near Washing
ton street. as members OF the Della
ware Society Sons OF the American
Revolution, seem to believe.
II believe those who have suggested
that WashingtOn's army forded the
creek at that point are wrong" said
Mr. Pusey. '"fhe old bridge near the
mill farther down the creek was erect
ed seven or eight years before the Bat
tie OF Brandywine. 1t is hardly likely
that the army would ford the creek
when there was good, substantial
bridge for the soldiers to cross. II the
amy had been pressed for time. and
an immediate engagement was i'm
pending. the soldiers might have ford
ed the stream. but such was not the
case, as there was plenty of time, and
it is more than probable that the army
used the bridge"

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. TO-
Gods contribution to the American
people will be the sparing of the Pres
ident's life" AS the evening shadows
were falling last night. John G. Mil
burn, president OF the Pan-American
Exposition, reverently uttered these
words as he stood before the house
in which the nations patient was
ighting so bravely with death. And
all who were at the Milburn residence
yesterday reflected the view that the
battle will be won and the prayers
II the world will be answered. Since
Sunday not an unfavorable symptom
has appeared. Every hour has been
a victory. Faith in the outcome grows
stronger and stronger, and hope
mounts higher and higher, until in
the minds Of some the danger Of all
future complications is brushed aside
and hope has become conviction.
Every bulletin, every private and
public word Of the physicians in at
tendance breathes encouragement.
The reports the physicians have given
out are facts as they exist from a sci
entific standpoint unmixed with sen
timent.
Still, that the President is by no
means out of danger is the verdict OF
each OF them. Not one Of them will
risk his professional reputation with
statement that the President will
live All they will say is that with
every hour the danger Of complca-
tions from peritonitis or blood-poison-
ing decreases. DR.. McBurney, the
most eminent of the physicians In
attendance. expresses the opinion
that If the Improvement continues
it will be a week yet before the Presi-
dent can be pronounced out Of dan
ger and convalescent. And some OF
his colleagues, like DR.. Mann, place
the limit of danger still farther away.
The fear Of peritonitis, it can be said
positively, has well-nigh disappeared.
