Washington, August 30,10:30 p. m.— The day at the Executive Mansion has been ex tremely quiet and uneventful, the news from the sick room being very gratifying to all inquirers. Shortly after the midday bulletin was issued a ripple of excitement became noticeable owing to a rise of the patient’s pulse to 116, but the cause of this was satisfactorily explained by the attend ing surgeons. The explanation was in effect that the increased pulse was due to the slight incision in the parotid gland made by Dr. Bliss this morning. The attending sur geons say that during the extremely en feebled condition of the patient do Import ance should be attached to slight fluctuations of the pulse. The President continues to take his usual nourishment, and during the day, in ‘addition to koumiss, milk porrlge and beef tea, which he partook of freely, he ate another piece cf milk toast with appa rent relish. During a conversation this afternoon Dr. Boynton said that the glandular trouble was much better, and that there was a large dis charge from it this morning; that there was not much change in the condition of the wound, and that the granulation had been renewed, but not to any great extent. He considered the general condition of the patient fully as good as yesterday, and said that while there has been no material gain of strength, there may have been a slight improvement. “There certainly has been a marked Improvement since the recent cri sis,” continued the doctor, “and he now takes his food with as much relish as at any time during his Illness.” In reply to fur ther interrogatories, Dr. Boynton said no marked change is expected at once. All that one can reasonably expect is that the patient will hold his own tor a few days. If he makes even a slight Improvement, it will be perfectly satisfactory. In re sponse to the question: “Are there any symptoms indicating another crisis?” the doctor said that be had not noticed any such symptoms. The interview was con cluded by the doctor’s remarking that the prospects for final recovery are very fair, but iu a case of this kind, he said, no one can say positively that the patient will re cover. Therefore he could not make any definite prediction on that point. ANOTHER GOOD DAT LOOKED FOR. 10:15 A. m —The President, enjoyed an other good night’s rest, and it is thought staitsouton what bids fair to be another good day. He slept well. Ills stomach still continues to perform its work laiisfactorily, and tbe parotid swelling Is progressing favorably. His pulse, temperature and res piration, as compared with yesterday morn ing, are about the same. The slight in crease in the frequency of his pulse, ”is thought to be due to an accumulation of pus In another portion of the glandular swt liing, which was observed this morning by Dr. Bliss, who made still another in cision, and released the pent up pus. On the continuance of these favorable symp toms another day of progress is predicted. NO MARKED CHANGE. 12:30 P. m. [Official Bulletin ]— At the rnrroti g dressing another small iic’sion was made in the lower part of the swelling on the right side of the President's fae“, which was followed by a free dbcharg i of healthy looking pus. A similar discharge took place through the openings. The swelling is perceptibly smaller, end locks hetter. The wound remains la an unchang ed condition. Thera has been a little rise of temperature since morning, but the pulse is more frequent,. In other respec s his condition is abou’ the same Pulse 116, temperature 9S 9, respiration 18 D. W. Bliss.

The following was sent this afteinoon to Minister Lowell by Secretary Blaine : “The President’s condition has not ma terially changed sluce ray last dispatch. Another incision was made this morning lu the parotid gland with very satisfactory re sults. The pus flows freely, aud the swell ing grows less. His pulse at this hour, 3p. m ,is lower than during the forenoon, as wa6 the case yesterday, but on both days it has been higher than his other good symp toms would seem to warrant. It is now 110. At noon It was 116.” SATISFACTORT PROGRESS. 4:45 p. m.—ln an interview with a reporter of the Associated P es at half-past four this afternoon, Dr. Bliss said that the pro gress of the President’s case to day had been very satisfactory. Auolher incision about tbree-fourths of an inch in length was made in tbs patient’s right cheek this morning, anil a large additional quantity of pus was removed. The openings are now all in communication one with another, and the condition of the gland is improving every hour. The patient’s pulse has had a some what higher range to-day than yesterday, but Dr. Bliss does not attach much signifi cance to this fact for the reason that the lo cal disturbance arising from the glandular swelling Is sufficient to explain it. Tne pa tient’* geueral condition remains as good as yesterday, and his stomach is behaving ad mirably. Dr. Bliss does not look for any marked or decided change in the direction of recovery before Friday or Saturday, by which time he thinks the gland will have ceased to be a dangerous feature. Up to this time all goes on as well as could be ex pected. A VERY FAIR DAT. 6:30 P. m. [Official Bulletin ]— I The Presi dent has passed comfortably through the day. He has taken the usual amount of nourishment by the mouth with stimulat ing enemata at stated periods. Hts rise of temperature this afternoon is a degree less than yesterday at the same time, and his pulse Is less fri quent than at noon to day. The parotid swelling has been dis charging more freely and is continuing to diminish in size. Pulse 109, temperature 09 5, respiration 18. D. W. Bliss. J. K. Barnes. J. J. Woodward. Robt. Kevburn. D. Hates Agnew. HE KNOWS IIE IS BETTER. 10:30 P. m. —The following was sent to night to Minister Lowell by Secretary Blaine: “The President, if not rapidly ad vancing, is at least holding his own. His fever is less than last night, and bis swollen gland steadily improves. His pulse contin ues rather hieher. running this afternoon from 110 to llfi. Perhaps the best indica tion in the case is that the President him self feels better, and, his mind being now perfectly clear, he readily compares one day’s progress with another.” A TRIBUTE FROM HIS PASTOR. Rev. F. D. Power, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, in this city, has written a letter concerning the President’s character as a Christian man, in which he says: “He ha never hesitated when it was necessary to testify to his faith. He has lectured publicly in the Christian Church within two years on the evidences of the Christian religion, and he has for six years been a devout and constant worshipper and communicant. Taking Into the esti mate all the temptations attendant upon 6uch career, the general looseness of Wash ington life and political life, especially the marked unfaithfulness of Christian men when they attain such prominence in official position, and the extrema poverty and ob scurity of his brethren in Washington, to gether with their poor house of worship, I esteem him as an unusual Christian, a man faithful where nine out of ten would have failed.” THE INDUCTION BALANCE AGAIN. Dr. Hamilton arrived at half-past ten o’clock to-night. Dr. Agnew expects to leave for Philadelphia to-morrow morning. Private Secretary Brown said this evening tta’ Professor Bell has succeeded in per fecting an induction balance, by which he can locate precisely the ball In the Presi dent’s body. It has not yet been determined to try the experiment, however. VIEWS OF THE CABINET. The members of the Cabinet were at the Mansion until quite a late hour to night. Secretary Blaine, in response to a ques tion, said that he considered the patient better, and he felt much encouraged. Secretary Hunt considered the fact of the President holding his own during the day a good sign, and that bis condition was evi dently better than at the same time last night. Postmaster General James said his hope had been fully reestablished, and he viewed the case from the standpoint which he did previous to the crisis of Saturday and Sun day laat. Mr. James, like many others, expressed the opinion that the nation’s prayers had been answered. Secretary Lincoln said there was no ma terial change from yesterday, and there did not appear to be any unfavorable symptoms developing. General Swaim continues sanguine. He said at nine o’clock that the patient was moving on towards recovery slowly, but, in his opinion, surely. ANOTHER TALK WITH DR. BOYNTON. Late this evening a representative of the Associated Press obtained the foliowiug statement regarding the President’s case from Dr. Boynton, Mrs. Garfield’s family physician. The Doctor said: “Were It not for the advent of septicemia in the President’s case, he would now be convalescent. The stomach trouble of two weeks ago, the glandular complication, the stupor and delirium, the rapid pulse, the loss of strength, etc., were all due to this cause. Tbe wonderful vitality of the Presi dent enabled him to overcome all the dan gers and complications attending the wound prior to the occurrence of the blood poisoning. In his case septicsemta had un dermined the very foundations of life, pro ducing a condition much resembling ty phoid fever, attended with stupor, delirium and great prostration. The processes of di gestion and assimilation had been pretty much arrested, so that, al though he partook of a sufficient amount of nutritious food, he became great ly emaciated and exhausted. His blood, besides being vitiated by the absorption of septic matters, had become more and more depraved on account of the failure of the system to assimilate food and transform it into blood. The President has been laboring under the influence,of this blood poisoning for some time, r.nd during the past week it tfccame evident that unless a favorable change soon occurred bu vital powers would give way. On Friday morning a change for the better was noticeable, the first indica tion of it being an abatement of the stupor and delirium. This was followed by the ap pearance of other fayorable symptoms, which Indicated that blood polton was being eliminated, and that his system was making an effort to rally from the terrible depres sion caused by the septica'mla. The prob lem now was to sustain his strength until nature could further eliminate the poison. The President was weaker on Satur Jay than at any previous time, yet his condition was less critical than on the two preceding days. On Saturday it was more a struggle with exhaustion," the cause of the ex haustion having to some extent been re moved, while on the preceding days the ex haustion was nearly as great with no appar ent abatement of Its cause. If the blood poison continues to be eleminated and no more septic matters are absorbed, the President wili slowly but surely regain his strength. In his present condition it is not impossible that there may be further absorption of the septic matters, bringing with It serious complications, but it Is confi dently hoped that such will not be the case. No irreparable mischief has occurred to any of the vital organs, and his recovery is more than probable. “As the processes of digestion and assimi lation become more fully re established bet ter blood will be manufactured from the food, which, as it circulates through the sys tem, will stimulate to more healthy action all the functions of the body. The pro cess of repair in the wound, which is now at a complete standstill, will be re established. The discharge of pus, which has almost ceased, will again become nor mal as to quantity and quality. Granulations will spring up and the wound will rapidly heal. The glandular trouble, although a r. suit of the septic and depraved condi Lion of the blood, became not only an an noying but a dangerous complication, and its subsidence was a very Important element in bringing about a favorable change in the President’s condition.” In answer to the question as to the dif ference between 6eptica3uiia and pyaemia, the doctor stated that the same condition of blood poisoning iu a patient might be pronounced pjtemia by one physician and septicaemia by another, but that in all cases sep’.lcajmia preceded pyaemia; that septicaemia could and did exist in dependent of pyaemia, but- that pyae mia hid no existence independent of the septic* nia, and that, of necessity, the two condtion | often existed simultane ously in the same patient. During the course of septicaemia, thrombi of the veins sometimes occurs. Emboli produced by such ihiombi are carried by the nervous blood to the right side of the heart and, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs, where they form what are known as mota-tatic abscesses. On the same principle these abscesses are some times formed on the liver, spleen and other portions of the body. If such a state of things occur the case becomes one of typical pyaemia. If this clinical distinction between the two diseases be accepted as true, tlie President is suffering from septicaemia, and not pyaemia, • for in his case there have been no metastatic abscesses. The abscess in the parotid gland Is not supposed to be a metastatic abscess. “What I have described as septicaemia would no doubt be calied by some physi cians chronic pyaemia.” The Mansion was closed about eleven o’clock, at which time tbe patient was quietly sleeping. FLASHES FROM CHARLESTON. Anxiety for the Foreat City—The Funeral of Young Lesesne— Fear* for Klee and Sea Island Cotton— Foreign Steamers In Port. Charleston, S. C., August 30. —The inter ruption of telegraphic communication be tween Charleston and Savannah, and the many rumors which were in circulation here on Monday, caused the most intense anxiety here as to the fate of the Forest City. When the train from Savannah reached here on Monday night there was a large crowd of people at the depot anxious to hear the news, and there was an eager demand for the Morning News of Monday, which con tained a full account of the ravages of the gale. The effects of the storm in Charleston were not as disastrous as in Savannah. The damage to property will probably not ex ceed #IOO,OOO, and is distributed among a large number of persons. There were four lives lost, three negroes and one white person. The accidental drowning of Mr. Thomas P. LeseEue cast a gloom over the entire community. He was the youngest son of ex-Chaucellor H. D. Ltsesne, and was a very popular young man. Ills bodv was discovered this morning in the marsh on the James Island shore, and was interred this afternoon. The funeral services were held at Bt. Phillip’s Church, Bishop Howe official iug, and were attended by an im mense crowd of people, white and eolored. A lviees from the coast indicate the almost total destruction of the rice crop by the high tides, and the very serious injury of the sea island cotton crop. Two foreign steamships, the Royal Min strel and the Sparta, have arrived here to load with cotton for foreign ports. They are chartered to clear on the 16th of Sep tember, and, although cotton Is coming In as rapidly as could be expected, some doubts are entertained ot the ability of the agents to load the vessels by that day. The Coming Strike of Cotton Hand lers in New Orleans. New Orleans, August 30.—The Cotton Factors and other associations of the cotton trade, representing capital as against the combination of cotton handlers and the la boring class,| report that responses are re ceived hourly to their demands for labor, that more weighers and classers are offering than are needed, and that the present pros pects indicate that there will be no stoppage of business by the contemplated strike on the Ist of September.

Fkrnandina, Fla., August 30.—Mallo ry’s steamer the City of San Antonio, put Into this port last night to clear her dis charge and bilge pumps and fasten down her after boiler. In the storm of the 27th inst. her iron shutters were stove in and the saloon flooded from foot to bulkhead. She will make the necessary repairs and proceed to Galveston at once. Capt.

All buoys at Port Royal have been shifted. New York, August 30. —The steamship Hudson, from New Orleans, arrived here to day. She reports having had heavy weather off the east coast of Florida lasting thirty hours. August 28th she fell in with the ship Sandusky, from Pensacola for Liverpool, with lumber, dismasted, water logged and stern gone. She took off the crew, who had been seventy hours without food or water, gave them clothes and made them as comfortable as possible. The report of Captain Lowden, of the ship Sandusky, says: “We left Pensacola, August 12th, for Liverpool. On the 25th the wind increased to a heavy gale from the northeast, and the ship commenced leaking badly. On the 26th the gale in creased to a hurricane, the leak paining so fast that both pumps could not keep tbe vessel free. At 6p. m. she had ten feet of water in her hold, with both pumps con stantly going, but to no purpose. At 8 p. m. a squall of great violence threw the ship on her beam ends, when the masts were cut away. At the same time every thing was awept from the deck, including both houses with all the stores and fresh water. All the officers and crew reached the weather mizzen rigging except two seamen and the cook, who were never after seen, and must have been swept away when her deck load went over. The ship slowly righted after the loss of her top hamper, but was a com plete waterlogged wreck, the crew remained on the mizzen rigging until daybreak, the sea continually sweeping over them and threatening to carry them off every moment. At daybreak we were enabled to better our position somewhat, but as the ship was constantly breaking up it was a day of ter ror. About four and. m. we saw a brig steering nearly for us, but she passed us by without noticing us, though her people were plainly visible to u. The wind was still blowing a heavy gale, and tremendous seas were breaking over the ship. When nearly dark, the whole stern frame broke, and was swept away with the after part of the main deck, and the timbers commenced coming out from between decks. We were obliged to abandon our position aft, and after great risk got forward and into the foretop, where the night of the 27th was passed. “The next day was fine, but with heavy seas constantly deluging the ship. At 5:30 p. m. we saw a vessel, which proved to be t he steamship Hudson,from New Orleans for New York. The crew and officers were taken off after being seventy-eight hours on tbe wreck without food or water. Every kindness was shown us by Captain Free man, his officers and passengers, the latter making up a purse, which greatly gladdened the h-art.s of the destitute mariners.” The gale was one of the mo3t severe, so Captain Freeman reports, that he ever experienced. The wind reached the velocity of a hurricane on the evening of the 26th. As the ship was fabt breaking up she will soon cease to be a danger to navigators, although she was abandoned iu the track of northern bound vessels. The steamship Chalmette, from New Or leans, also arrived here to day. She reports that ou August 28th, at Ba. m., 6he fell in with the schooner Lucie Wheatley, Capt. Sipple, from Jacksonville for Baltimore, in a sinking condition, and took off her Cap tain and crew and brought them to this port. Captain Sipple says: “We left Jackson ville August 13. At Ip. m. the ship was struck by lightning, shivering her fore mast, foretopmast and mlzzentopmast, and damaging her hull. The wind was west southwest. We fixed the foremast and se cured it, but it was not safe. Fitted up a jumper stav and set a spare jib as a main stay sail. The wind was variable on the 16:11 and partly calm on the 17th. On the 19th the wind was west and the weather hazy. On the 20; h the wind changed to the northeast, aud, increasing from the 21st to the 24th, we had heavy seas, and the wind was blowing a hurricane, the vessel leaking, and the pumps constantly going. On the 26th and 27th we threw over part of the deck load. On the 25th, at noon, the vessel was full of water. The masts were swept away aud the hull righted, but she was wholly under water, and all hands were obliged to look out for themselves, being part of the night up to our waists in water. Oa the 28th, in the morning, the steamer Chalmette, from New Orleans for New York, sighted us and came to our rescue. She launched her boat with two officers and four men. At 9:30 a. m. she had all of us on board. The schooner was then breaking to pieces bo that the lumber was coming out. She was then in latitude 31:50, longitude 78:45. The schooner was built in 1874 at Frederica, Del., and was owned by Governor J. W. Hall & Son, of Frederica, and Mrs. Wheatley, of Lebanon, aud was 190 tons register.” TIIE LIVERPOOL COTTON COKNER Oldbuin Splutters Seeking Redress.

The Thrilling Experience of Ship wrecked mariners— Baring Reacne of the Crewa by the Schooner ISoHljr, Captain L. P. Thompson, of the British brig Alphonse, bound from Cienfuegos, with a cargo of sugar and molasses, for New York, together with William Sullivan, the mate, William McCalgan, the cook, John Molony, Thomas Ross, Harry Miller, Arthur Stannard and John Colson, seamen, were brought to Charleston by the schooner M. C. Mosely, Captain George W. Dow, from Boston, on Monday about 11 o’clock, having been picked up in an open boat off the North Carolina coast about 2 o’clock on Sunday. Captain Thompson’s account of his shipwreck and narrow escape of his life, as given to the Charleston News and Courier, Is thrilling and interesting. The Alphonse left Cienfuegos on the 9th Instant with a large cargo of sugar and mo lasses. She experienced light winds and calms until she reached the neighborhood of Jupiter Inlet on the Florida coast. The wind then sprung up from the eastward and blew from that direction for twenty-four hours. It then shifted to the northeast and began to blow briskly. The Captain tacked his vessel back and forth until Thursday just when the wind freshened to a gale. At day light on Friday the gale increased to a hur ricane from the northssst. The Captain then hove to under short sail and managed to hold his own until the lower topsail and main staysail were blown away. The vessel then fell in the trough of the sea and he had to put before the wind and run under bare poles. She sped along at terrific speed, now on the top of a gigantic wave and now seemingly fifty feet down in the trough. Friday night came and the vessel was still kept on her southwest course, fly ing before the storm. As night came on the difficulties Increased. It was found im possible to keep a light of anv kind, and the Captain had to trust to Providence and keep her before the wind without knowing where she was going. When daylight dawned on Saturday the Captain found that he was moving northwest by north, the wind having changed in the night. There was no diminution In the force of the gale, and the vessel was kept scudding along before the wind under bare poles until Saturday afternoon, when the Captain again hove her to. For forty four hours the crew had b%en at the pumps with out cessation, and without food or drink or sleep. The vessel began to leak badly. The forecastle was washed away, and the seas began to break over her sides, breaking in her bulwarks and scattering the bunks and effects of the seamen. About 5 o’clock Saturday afternoon the Captain found that the vessel was sinking rapidly. The men were exhausted and faint for want of sleep and food, and he himself had no rest for thirty-six hours. As good luck would bave it, about this time- the wind moderated and the sea went down enough to allow the launching of the 6mall boat. This was done with safety, and the Captain, mate, cook and crew of five men left the vessel and got Into the boat, not having even time to secure food, water or clothing, except, such as they had on their hacks, the vessel not being more than a foot above water and still sinking. Not knowing his whereabouts the Captain headed the boat northwest, hoping to come iu sight of land or strike a passing vessel. He was soon out of sight of his vessel, the night being very dark, but knows she must have gone down V ry shortly after he left her. On Saturday night the wind freshened again, and the rain fell in torrents. The only thing to be done was to keep the boat before the wind, which was done with diffi culty. About midnight the boat shipped a sea which knocked the Captain and mate under the thwarfs and filled the boat half full of water. Fortunately there were two buckets aboard, which were used for bail ing out the water, and the boat was soon righted again, and her course was continued northwestward. At two o’clock on Sunday afternoon the Captaiu sighted a vessel to windward, which proved to be the schooner Moseiy. As soon as the Captain of the schooner saw the boat, he hove to and took the castaways on board. Cant. Thompson says that he cannot, speak too highly of the conduct of Capt. Dow, who did everything in his power for him and his exhausted and half-famished crew. He even supplied him with his own cloth ing and gave up his own bed in order that he might recover comfortably from his fatigue. The brig Alphonse was built at Quebec ten years ago, and was 338 tons burden, American register. She was owned by J. & G. Fowler, of New York, and was valued at <IIO,OOO. The cargo, which was owned by and consigned to the owners of the vessel, consisted, as above stated, of sugar and mo lasses, and was valued at $38,000. The Captain is under the impression that both the vessel and cargo were insured. Capt. Dow, of the schooner Moseiy, which rescued Capt. Thompson and crew, sailed from Boston to Charleston on Monday the 23d Instant, with a general cargo con signed to M. Goldsmith & Son. For the first three days he had pleasant weather and light winds. He then encountered a heavy southeast sea. On Thursday the sea ran very high, and the wind freshened from the northeast. The vessel, however, ran along easily until Sanday about 10 o’clock, when she sighted the Swedish bark Herald, bound from Mobile to Gottenburg, with signals of distress flying. The Captain bore down on her, and, finding her in a sinking condition, rescued Captain Cedarbarg and his crew of twelve seamen. On Sunday afternoon the Captain sighted the boat containing Captain Thompson and his crew, who he rescued, as above 6tated. He then came on to Charleston, and arrived there at 11 o’clock Monday morning. The experience of the Captain and crew of the Swedish bark Herald were no less startling and interesting than these of the brig Alphonse. The Swedish bark Herald, Capt. Cedarberg, belonging to J. F. Strom berg, of Gottenburg, sailed from Mobile, August 11, with a cargo of lumber for Southampton, England. About 4 o’clock on Tuesday, August 23, it commenced blow ing very fresh from E. N. E ; had to short en sail as the wind kept increasing. On Friday, the 26th, about 2 a. m . there was a heavy gale from northeast by east, and about 10 a. m. clewed up all sails except storm spanker and storm staysail, the stay sail, which was new, being soon after car ried away. About 8 p. m. a heavy sea swept over the vessel, carrying away boats, bulwarks, part of deck load, smashing fore part of cabin and filling it with water, damaging forecastle badly and ruining provisions. At the tame time four men were swept overboard, but all were washed back and saved except Charles Lar sen, of Gottenburg, ordinary seaman, about seventeen years of age. The three who es caped being drowned were seriously In jured, and will be sent to the hospital. It was found Impossible to keep the vessel free with the pump, and on Saturday about 5 a. m., wind northeast by east, had four feet of water in the hold, and, while she was kept free as possible, by 12 o’clock there was an additional foot of water in the hold. The pumping was kept up until 4 o’clock, when the water was gaining so rapidly, and the bark had such a heavy list, was compelled to cut away fore and main topmasts to ease her. This was about 8 p. m. Saturday; the pumps were going incessantly until Sunday morning, but without success. The wind shifted about 12 o’clock Saturday night to east southeast. Early Sunday all available sails were set and an attempt made to steer northeast and reach the nearest port, but the vessel would not steer, beiEg half full of water. About 9 a. m., In lat. 33 4 N., long. 78 30 W., saw a schooner and Imme diately set signals of distress, when she came close to us and proved to be the M. C. Mo>ely, of and from Boston for Charleston. Although a very high sea was running at the time, their yawl boat was safely launch ed and succeeded in rescuing the Captain, two mates, steward and eight men, about midday.

The Senate reconsidered and corrected an error In the Sandersville school bill. The special order was the railroad tax bill, of the House. Messrs McDaniel, Fouche, Guerry, Den mark aDd Westbrook spoke earnestly in favor of the bill in its substitute form Messrs. Meldrim, Winn and Hawes were equally earnest in opposing the bill. The substitute waa adopted by a vote of 27 yeas to 10 nays, but was finally lost for want of a constitutional majority, there being only 20 yeas and 16 nays. Mr. Guerry will move a recommendation to morrow and the contest will be renewed with vigor. Colonel Cole is here to watch his charter before the Senate to morrow, as several strong speeches are expected against some of its objectionable features. HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE. Two Officer* Blown to Fragments by a Torpedo. Washington, August 30.— The particu lars of the killing of Lieutenant Com mander Edes and Spalding by the explosion of a torpedo, at Newport, R. I, yesterday, have been received. Both officers were in the inner harbor in a torpedo launch, and were putting the torpedo in position, in order to exhibit au experiment to Admiral Porter. The torpedo was to be exploded by the breaking of an electric circuit. Edes had the deadly missile in his lap while Spaulding was rowing the launch. The tide was low, and the torpedo was planted In about three fathoms of water. Near by were the remainder of the class under the instruction board. Admiral Porter, Capt. Selfridge and the officers of the torpedo station were on Goat Island, where the torpedo station is located, for the purpose of witnessing the experiment. Edes leaned forward to arrange the apparatus in the water, when a loud noise and explosion were heard, and the two bodies of the unfortunate men were seen in the air. The bodies went into the air some 35 feet, and with them ascended the debris of the boat. The workmen em ployed on the station waded Into the water as soon as possible and recovered all that was possible of the bodies. The class Imme diately returned to the Island, and an officer was detailed to go to Narragansett Pier and break the news to Edes’ wife, who had gone there this morning for a few days’ visit. She is from Washington. Spaulding, who was not married, resided in Portsmouth, N. H. The Coroner’s jury brought in a verdict to the effect that Lieutenants Edes and Spaulding met their death by the accidental explosion of a torpedo, which would not have happened had they followed Instruc tions. No one at the torpedo station is to blame. Colonel A. Wood, Merryweather, whom everybody in Scranton, Pa., knows, writes and says: “I had long suffered from a de rangement of the bladder and kidneys; It had made my general health poor. I also was troubled with severe indigestion; pills gave me only temporary relief, and I ex perienced great anxiety of mind, as well as physical distress. A friend recommended Brown’s Iron Bitters. I have used it with most gratifying results, and just now my health never was better, and I feel that the cure is permanent.” Fatal Runaway at Augusta. Augusta, Ga., August 30.— John King Walker wasinstautly killed near this city to day by a horse running away and throwing him from his buggy. HORSFOJWD’S acid phosphate An Invaluable Tonic.
