two weeks after the shooting. On the
23rd the President suffered a serious
relapse and on the next day an incis-
ion was made along what was suppos-
ed to be the path of the wound to al
low the escape of puS there collected.
This was followed by improved Symp-
toms On the 2Sth there was recur-
renee Of the fever. but this soon passed
and there were favorable reports until
August 9Th. On the 10th another incis-
ion was made along the wound; fol-
lowing this the reports became daily
less encouraging until the 18th, when
the doctors acknowledged the patients S
condition as serious Nourishment and
medicine had to be administered by in
lection. and another incision made to
liberate the pus in the wound. On the
25th he was again pronounced as in
critical condition, though on the 9th
improvement was shown.
On September 4th the President was
moved to the New Jersey coast in the
hope that the change might do him
good, and for awhile this seemed to be
the result. for on the Sth his symptoms
seemed very favorable: but on the
11th reports began to fuctuate and
continued to do SO till the 18th. when
a serious relapse came, and from which
he never rallied, dying on the 18th, at
1875 o'clock.
During President Garfield's sickness
there had been criticisms and discus
sions of the Medical treatment being
administered, and so after his death a
post-mortem examination was held. 1t
was found that the ball. after fractur-
ing the right eleventh rib. had passed
through the spinal column in front OF
the spinal canal, fracturing the first
lumbar vertebra and driving the splin-
ters of bone into the fleshy parts. The
ball lodged about two inches below the
pancres (sweetbread) and half to the
left of the spine and behind the peri
tonaceum. where it had been complete
ly encysted. The immediate cause OF
death was a secondary hemorrage from
one of the mesenteric arteries adjoln-
ing the track Of the ball, the blood rup-
turing the peritonaeum, and nearly a
pint escaping into the abdominal cav
ity.

Great Combination Forming.

Pittsburg, Special.-The Post says:
All the bituminous coal mining COM
panies of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois. West Virginia and Kentucky
are to be consolidated into one great
corporation by the j. P. Morgan syn
dicate. The enormous proportions OF
this corporation can hardly be realized.
The fact that the Plttsburg Coal Com
pany, with its capital Of s64,OOO,OOO
and the Monongahela River Conscli-
dated Coal and Coke Company. with
its capital Of sS0.O00O00. are to be in
cluded in the greater consolidation.
brings the matter strongly before
Pittsburg coal operators. These two
corporations practically control all
the output in the Pittsburg district
and extend their operations we'll down
toward West Virginia in two dlrec-
tioas. Officers of these companies are
eypected to attend a meeting OF the
coal operators in New York THURSDAY
of next week. at which the prellmn..
nary steps toward the formation oi
tho great combine will be taken.

Shooting of President Garfield.

The next Presidential assassination
was the killing Of James A. Garfield by
Charles J. Guiteau. disappointed and
mentally unbalanced officc-seeker. 1t
was on July 2. 1881 that Guiteau shot
at Garfield twice in the ladies waiting
room of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad in Washington, as he was
about leaving the city to join his wife
on a New England pleasure trip. One
of the balls took effect in his back and
he sank unconscious to the floor. He
was at once conveyed to the White
House and there attended by the best
medical skill till September 9th, when
he was removed to the seaShore at Ell
berton.. y. ]. Bloodpoisoning appeared
on the 18th and four days later he
died.
Guiteau was promptly arrested. in
dicted and after one OF the most sensa-
tional trials on record, was convicted
and executed on June 80, 1882. Gul-

President Garfield made brave fight
for life. His death did net occur until

he was pronounced by his physicians

r1r. Lincoln Assassinated.

The first Presidential assassination
occurred just after the close Of the
Civil War. when President Abraham
Lincoln was shot and almost instantly
killed in a Washington theatre by John
Wilkes Booth. an obscure actor.
President Lincoln had been frequent
ly warned of the danger of assassina-
ton, as we'll as threatened with it in
anonymous letters, but had never ia
ken any precaution against it. belieV-
ing on the one hand that it was not
likely to be attempted, and on the
other that if it were contemplated no
precaution could protect one who was
so accessible as the President OF the
United States.

President from behind, placed a pistol

leaped from the front of the box upon
the stage. and brandishing a dagger
shouted, "Sic semper tyrannis,' disap-

Switzerland has wet summers and
dry summers, so that some tourists
may spend two or three weeks among
the mountains without ever getting q

Up to the middle Of August the pre-
sent season was exceptionally un-

Nevertheless there has been a con-
slant succession of accidents-more.
in proportion. than in any preceding
summer. This. however, was to have
been expected, for the figures printed
in the year book of the Swiss Alpine
Club show that there has been for
years steady increase in the number
of fatal accidents. In 1895 nineteen
death were recorded in the following
year twenty-four. 1897 and 1898 had
thirty-four and thirty-seyen respective

Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com

Improvement work on the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation companys lines is
progressing rapidly, according to reports
received in st. Paul. Thirteen steel
bridges are being constructed along the
line and five concrete masonry arch cul-

More important than any of the above
is the contract for what will be known
as the "Rowena Change of Line" Seven
miles of entirely new roadbed on changed
location will be built between Tunnel No.
and The Dalles, Or. The reasons for
this Improvement are that the present
road bed is quite crooked and VIII he
abandoned entirely between the points
named. The present line has maximum
curvature of ten degrees, while on the
new line it will be but four degrees The
rev line will be 1000 yards shorter than
the old.
