DEATH STILL NEARER
Doctors Consult on the Condition

but One Issue.
AFTER A VERY ENCOURAGING DAY
Relapse Eusnes and All the Bright

ing Pontiff.

Rome, July 10, a. m.-Injections
of caffeine and compton given thepope
have had in part the desired effect, as
he has succeeded in getting some
sleep, although his slumber was not
entirely tranquil.
Rome, July 9, 1880 p. m.-The fol
lowing bulletin has been issued: 'The
general condition Of the illustrious
consultation was held at o'clock with
the participation Of Professor Rossoni

Rome, July 10, 2 a. NAT 1915 this
morning it was declared that the
pGpes condition had not changed since
the issue of the bulletin at 1886 last
evening.
Rome, July 10. - Since his illness
the pope had not begun day as salts
factorily as yesterday. Indeed, hopes
of his recovery reached such point
as to make the general public believe
the pontiff might soon be out Of dan
ger. No better synthesis of this view
could be given than the words DR.. Lap
poni uttered on leaving the sick room
at about noon-that although he did
not yet dare to hope he had perhaps
ceased to despair. This promising out
look, however, was followed by the
startling announcement that the pope
had Oeen attacked with diarrhoea, ap-
parently caused by the large quantity
of food he had taken, and that con-
sulting physician had been sent for.
Dressed Himself with Little Help.
The patient when he began the day
showed once more his iron mountain
eer fiber by rising and dressing al
most without assistance, walking
across the room to his arm chair and
having his toilet fully performed, even
to the detail of being shaved. Through
out this procedure the pope showed
no sign of being exhausted. Indeed,
he jOkingly alluded to the amount Of
nourishment which was being imposed
upon him and said: 81 ought to grow
fat, as l have never had in my life
as much as | get now"
His Mental Faculties Unimpaired.
This buoyancy of spirit was consid-
cred to be one of the principal CO..
efficients in the struggle with death
which this admirable old man has
made in the last seven days. The
doctors, previous to the alarming at
tack of the afternoon, said there was
not the slightest diminution in the
acuteness Of the pontiff's mental facul-
ties, as shown in a remarkable man
ner when the pope insisted ON going
over some of the larger questions Of
church policy laid before him by Car
dinal Rampolla, the papal secretary Of
state.

FIGHT FOR MARKHAM'S
JOB ON IN EARNEST
Contest Is Narrowed Down to T. D
O'Brien and J. c. Michael.

The fight for Corporation Attorney
Markham's job is now on in earnest, and
the contest promises to finish with bit
terness that BODIES i'll for someone's poIit-
ical future. Friends of Thomas D..
OBrien jumped into the breach yesterday
and by night claimed to have safely stow
ed in their inside pockets three Demo-
cratic votes and promise of as many
more If favored candidates failed to real
lie on the first ballot.
Significantly with this boast came the
announcement of Stan Donnelly's retire

firing in favor of Mr.. O'Brien, but this
his supporters denied.
y. w. Holman, who a week ago was
touted as a possible winner, has, to ali
intents and purposes, dropped out of
sight. One Democratic vote is known to
be pledged to him, but such chance as he
may have for Democratic preference has
been lessened by the entrance of J. c.
Michael and Thomas D. O'Brien. The
fight is now between these two and the
only show for the others is a deadlock:
This is what the present incumbent is
hoping for. AS the fight stands now
Michael is credited with five votes,
O'Brien three Mickey and Holman one.
under any conditions.
The Republican minority, which mum
bers seven votes. is at present engaged
in trying to save the scalp of Markham,
but even if that fails, it still has a trump
card in the salvation of First Assistant
Corporation Attorney McDermOtt, and, as
one of its members announced Yesterday
1--WE can't lose, we've got 'em coming and
a-going."
As it stands, these seven votes will go
to the man who saves McDermott, and
just now they constitute such an alIur-
ing bait that more than one candidate is
dallying with it.

But yesterday king,
And born. with kings to. strive;


Having won fame as landscape
painter, attaining the high honor OF
hanging his canYases in the salon at
Paris, James Kerr, a Canadian. origi-
nally from Toronto, Ont, has been sent
from the Fergus Falls insane asylum to
the home of his father in Manitoba.
F1fteen years ago, even then an ar
tlst OF promise, a deplorable accident
resulted in the amputation of his left
reg between the knee and thigh.
The misfortune which cost him a
limb brought temporary solace in the
world or art, for adopting the easel and
the brush as means of livelihood, Mr..
Kerr, then twenty-five years of age,
went abroad, where, studying under
the best masters, he soon achieved
such success as brought him into the
front ranks. $3.50 /.
But his success as an artist was won
at the ultimate cost of his reason, and
today he is on his way to the Canad-
Ian Northwest, there to spend his last
days with intellect dethroned, a charge
upon his kinsfoik. -.
Last Monday night he was found by
the mail agent running between De-
trolt and Pelican Rapids lying in a
ditch by the roadside, his crutches
oeneath him, unconscious and nearly
frozen to death.
Examined at Pelican Rapids, where
he was taken, the factT1was- discovered
that he was hopelessly insane He was
sent to the Fergus Falls asylum until
inquiries could be made as to the
whereabout of his people. Agent Gates
aseerta1ned that the unfortunates
father and four brothers were living
at Franklin, Man.; and that they would
be willing to care for him. Prompt
arrangements were made for transpor-
tatlon, and today the once famous
painter is en- route to the home of his
relatives.

a week, the robbers made their final

both seriously wounded, and Bob, with
one arm limp and helpless, fought I'M

died in Saltwater prison Sept. Is, 1889,
of consumption.
Cole and Jim Younger, after con-
finement of only a few months less
than twenty-five years, were paroled
July 10, 1901, one Of the conditions
being that they should not leave the

| WAR GOVERNOR
SEES RUIN AHEAD.
Alexander Ramsey Makes
Vigorous Objection to
Paving Proposal.

Gov. Ramsey was a prominent figure
In the score or more of property ownr
ers that filled the rooms Of the board
or public works yesterday, but his
persuasive powers could not stem the
tide In favor of the paving of Exchange
street from Third street to Cedar
street.
do you want to ruin me?" he ask
ed, and with his hand to his ear in
order to better catch the answer, turn
ed to the board. 'Why, that improve
ment will cost me $780," he continued,
and l can't stand it, Gov. lRomsey
did not receive his answer until some
minutes later, and then it was in the
shape of, a reply from the clerk that
the board had decided on the improve
ment. He left, evidently much dis
gusted.
The board had three paving PROPOSE
tons up esterday-Central avenue,
from Cedar to Robert; Exchange, from
Third to Cedar, and Sixth. from Rosa
bel to the bridge, and in each instance
favorable action was taken. Asphalt
was provided for in the case of two
and Sixth street was left open as to
material for future determination.
The principal protest came from the
property owners along Sixth street,
from Broadway east and was openly
credited by Commissioner Murphy, who
favored the paving, to the desire OF
the property owners to unload on the
railroad companies, who are now buy
ing land in that locality Once the
ground is acquired by the railroads,
then the city at large will have to
pay for the paving. This the property
owners denied. but Commissioner Muir.
ply insisted on his view of the situa-
ton. 1t is estimated that $31 ,904 will
be required to pave the street with
sandstone.
The demand for the paving of Ex-
change street came largely from the
trustees of st. Joseph's hospital and the
free dispensary, who say it is cririi-
nal to drive an ambulance with a pa
tient over, the street in it's present con-
ditlon. The old cedar block paving is
lavishly decorated with holes and ruts
and it has become unsightly. The
hospital demands asphalt and the re-
quest has been strengthened by the
| congregation of the House of Hope
church also asking for asphalt The
cost of this material is placed at $19,-
| 1884, Of $40 a front foot. Central ave-
| nue., which is also paved with cedar
| blocks, is in a bad condition. Few
| oppose the improvement. The cost is
| given at $8,872, of 1888 a front foot.
