If his condition continues so favorable there will be no further bulletin until to-morrow morning. UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN. 11:45 p. m. Although the pulse aud temperature of the President have been rather higher to-day than yesterlay, on occount of suppuration, which now is going in the wound, he has had a very comfortable day.

Theie has been no return of acidity of the stomach caused yesterday, it is thought, by the oatmeal gruel which he ate, and he has not suffered to-day as he did at intervals last night from pain in the legs and ankles. He has taken nourishment at shorter intervals and in larger quantities than any previous day and retained it without any uneasiness of the stomach. He complains of feeling rather tired to-night, but is otherwise comfortable. Suppuration will probably continue, Dr. Reyburn says, for several days with slightly increased fever, which it causes.

It is, however, a perfectly natural process, and one that was anticipated at the present stage of recovery. The increased pulse and temperature, therefore. shown by the official bulletins, need cause no alarm. There is a certain amount of injured tissue along the track of the ball near the external opening of the wound which must come away in the shape of a discharge. The wound has been twice antiseptically dressed to-day, and the patient repeatedly sponged all over with a weak solution of carbolic acid in water, applied by means of a hand atomizer.

These spray and sponge baths have been a "source 'of great "refreshment and have added very materially to the President's comfort. The weather, to-day, is much cooler than esterday, and consequently the comparative failure of the different methods of artificial refrigeration is not so unfortunate as it might otherwise have been. A force of fifteen or twenty men from the navy yard is now at work in the basement putting in a steam fan or blower by which pure artificially cooled air will be forced into tne President's room in such quantities as may be necessary. Two city fire engines arc also at work under the direction of an officer of the navy, who is experimenting upon the production of cold by the liberation of compressed air. One or the other of these methods of supplying the President's room with cool air will bo put into effective operation to-morrow.

The Presidentis sleeping quietly, and his phy sicians report his symptoms in every way favorable and satisfactory. If his recovery was assured, they say, his symptoms would not probably be other than they are at the present stage of the case. ft KO.tl ttASHINOTOft. MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY. Washington, July 8.

m. Last night was cool, the temperature falling below 70, which was grateful to the President, now just entered on the second 6tage of his recovery. The President ha3 rested gently since since midnight, waking about four o'clock in the morning, at which hour Drs. Reyburn and Barnes dressed the wound. The flow of pus continues to be ''laudable." After taking some refreshment the patient again slept.

There was some restlessness in the early part of the night with pain in the feet and legs. This yielded readily to the usual treatment. Dr. Reybuin reports the condition at this hour to be quite as satisfactory as that of yesterday. The temperature and pulse will continue to be high in any event for several ys daring the period of suppuration.

the physicians anxious. 9:15 a. m. An interview with Dr. Bliss after the morning examination shows that while the case is progressing favorably there has been no marked improvement since sup.

puration began, and that there is an increase in the anxiety on the part of the physicians and watt hei s. This is indicated more by manner than by words. Less nourishment has been given since noon yesterday than heretofore in the same time. 11a. m.

-The manner of the physicians his morning is a little less confident than their words. It is learned that the fever continues so high that it has became necessary to deprive the President of any nourishment except milk, one ounce of which is given him every two hours. The statement of the medicaVauthorities still is, "The patient is doing as well as we could ENTERING A CRITICAL PERIOD. The President is passing comfortably and without disturbing symptoms through one of the days which the physicians and those acquainted with his case regard as a critical period. Both Gen.

Swain and Col. Corbin said, 1 ast night, that they looked forward to the next two or three days with great anxiety. He is not out of danger by any means, but if none of the symptoms to be feared, and more particularly blood poisoning make their appearance before Monday, they will feel that the worst is over. While we may justly entertain hope as day succeeds day without the appearance of symptoms which mark the progress of fatal causes, we should remember that the condition of the sufferer is still most critical, and that if he recovers his case will stand in surgical history as extraordinary.

VICE-PRESIDENT ARTHUR Washington, July 9. Vice-President Arthur will not return to New York till he has been officially assured by the Cabinet that the President is entirely safe. He could go with propriety to-day, but, as he waited to be summoned, so he will wait until in formed that there is no need to remain. His release will be the most joyful news he lies heard since the hour which assured him that Garfield and Arthur, had been elected by a great majority. AMICABLE RELATIONS BETWEEN BLAINE AND ARTHUR.

Secretary Blaine makes a daily call upon Vice-President Arthur, and those who hav beei witnesses to these conferences say that there are no indications of any asperity on account of the Albany conflict. Indeed, it is said that there have been some very mark ed expressions on the part of members of the Cabinet that the coDtcst at Albany should now coase, and a gentleman, who claims to know, says that the President a day or two before the shooting, remarked that he was very much displeased with the continuance of the contest and hoped that it would soon end. NEW ENGLAND NEWS'. REFORM SCHOOL BOYS ESCAPED. Portland, July 9.

Five of the State Reform School boys escaped at midnight by throwing pepper into the eyes of the watchman and taking his keys. They are from sixteen to eighteen years old. The Reform School officers captured three of them on the road near Saco. The ringleaders are still at large. FOREIGN NEWN.

A BARRACK FLOORING FALLS. Paris, Jnly 8. The flooring of a large chamber in a batrack on the Boulevard la of our townsman, George A. Conner, was drowned in the lake off Red Rocks. There had been a family reunion at the residence of Mr.

Conner, at Red Rocks, at which all the long-scattered members were present, and between 7 and 8 o'clock all were gather ed on the beach. Mr. Marcus Conner went out in a boat with his children two or three times and at length went out alone for the purpose of taking a bath. He jumped off the boat, but had hardly struck the water when he threw up his arms, and cried for help and almost immediately sank to the bottom. There were two boats on the shore and both at once put off, but either they took the wrong direction or the body drifted, and they were unable to rescue the unfortunate man.

In the meantime Messrs. Charles A. Murray and A. L. Barrows, who were in a steam launch off Sh'elburn Point, had heard the drowning man's cries and with the utmost speed hastened to the spot wncre he had sunk.

The water wa3 very shallow being not over five feet and the body was seen lying on the bottom. Messrs. Murray and Barrows were provided with grappling irons and soon raised the body and took it ashore, but, as it unfortunately proved, too late. Everything possible was done and medical assistance summoned, but life was extinct. Mr.

Conner was well known here as an employe of Bronsons, Weston, Greene several years since, but for some time past had been engaged in the lumber business at New Haven, Conn. He was thirty-three years of age and leaves a wife and two children, both boys, the oldest five years old and the younger eighteen months. He was an exceedingly pleasant and genial young man and leaves none but friends behind and many there are to regret his sudden and most melancholy death. For some time previously he had been complaining of a trouble with his heatt and it was undoubtedly this that led to his death. The funeral will be held at Mr.

George A. Conner's residence at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. American Institute cf Instruction. FIFTY-SECOND ASXCAL MEETING. On Thursday morning Prof.

Interesting Occasion. To the Editor of the Free Press and Times This afternoon a bronze statue was unveiled here, dedicated to the Fourteenth Regiment New Jersey Volunteers in the late war, and therefore is of interest to every member of the Tenth Vermont Volunteers, as we were ia the same and usually camped side by side. A brass band (of colored men; furnished the music, and the escort to the procession consisted of a small body of State militia. The statue represents a soldier, life size, in uniform, with overcoat, standing at parade rest, probably, but in a different posture from that usually taken at dress parade in the late war. A brief presentation speech was made by a citizen a few extempore remarks by a clergyman from Philadelphia, followed by music, cheers, and the procession marched to Education Hall, where addresses were expected from Gen.

Win. Trims, formerly Colonel cf the Fourteenth New Jersey, and long our brigade commander from Chaplain Rose and others. General Truax looks perfectly natural any one in his brigade would instantly recognize him. lie has changed so little that it seems impossible that sixteen long years have passed since I saw him in uniform. It was my privilege to shake his hand and extend to him kind remembrances front Vermont.

Sorry that I could not attend the exercises in the hall. The statue is on Ocean avenue, facing east, about five rods from the Atlantic ocean.

W. II. Savary of Canton, Mass. A despatch from London announces the death of Rev. John Cumming, D.

D. F. S. of the Scotch Church in Crown Court, Covent Garden, London. This emi nent divine was born in Aberdeenshire, Scot land, Nov.

10, 1810. He became a resident of London in 1833, and has been a very popular preacher. Both at Balmoral and in London he has had Queen Victoria among his hearers, and on one occasion was person ally thanked by her at the close of the service for the sermon he had preached. He was an earnest opponent of Roman Catholicism, and was a close student of the apocalyptic writings. Dr.

Cumming was author of several religious works, the most notable of which was "The Great Tribulation," which treated of the prophetic descriptions of the coming of Christ and the end of the present dispensation. His writings have been strongly marked by a belief in the speedy second coming of Christ and by predictions concerning the end of the world. Hon. Alonzo Carpenter of Bath has been nominated by Gov.

For some years he was Solicitor for Grafton county. In politics he is a Conservative Republican. Jerome Hopkins writes to the Springfield HepubUcan that Wagner's "Grand Centennial March," for which $5000 was paid by the Ladies' Committee at the Philadelphia Exhibition in 187C, is the weakest of its composers compositions, and has never been performed in Europe.

It is due to the Equitable Life Assurance Society to state that its plan of issuing incontestable policies grows more and more popular. As an illustration of the way the thing works, the case of Mr.

Alsom Garcelon is cited, who died at Boston, June 2d. He was insured with the Equitable Life for $10,000, and the insurance being "incontestable," was paid on the day following the presentation of satisfactory proofs of Mr. Garcelon's death. He was also insured in other companies, and it is stated that under suspicion of suicide, a post mortem examination of the body was made, and evidence ot poison found and consequently the payment of his policies in the other companies will be likely to be contested in the courts. The public will generally prefer to insure their lives with a company which keeps its insurance contract after once having entered into it.

With the exception of a few months they have lived in the same house they now occupy since their marriage, a circumstance very few, comparatively, are favored with. The place where Guiteau bought the pistol has been discovered, and it is also learned that he called at several gun stores and wished to buy a pistol that would be certain to kill. One of the cartridges found upon Guiteau to fit the pistol has been examined, and it was discovered to have had propelling power enough to go through an inch board. The physicians explain the fact that it did not pass through the President's body by the statement that its passage was stopped by the clothes and by the rib which it fractured.

The detectives have also learned that the money with which Guiteau bought the pistol was borrowed from a man who, like so many hundred others, had been imposed upon by Guiteau's oily tongue.
