Everything that ii known Wi tuedicine and

calamity, lt loot < >'< n au nlutost sttady
tight all day to nvoid tho rigor, which, ac
cording to all th? physicians, i.s liable to
ooenr al any hour ?ir minute.
fir. Iinyuti.ii nays that il ls a mistake to
mppuse tho t.'in JH> mt ure ba.? any bearing on
tho mutter, or in any way indicates the ap
proach of tho dreaded chills. Yesterday
everything was In fair cuudltlon for a
favorable evening, the paleo was low,
th? rcmrverut ii rn un.I r*??-Mr?t!o!t about
normal, when all at once as quirk
as yon could imap your fm RC- the
rigor wns upon him. \Vliilethe.iomaiilfenia
tlons have Ix-cn alluded to HU chills, the
terms sro not exactly synonymous, lu the
rigor tho muscles become rigid, amt tho chill
comes Ilk? a paroxysm. The extremities aro
cold ss lu approaching death.
There waa great uneasiness boro tilts eve
ning shout the hour when the rigor was ex
pected. Tho pussing of the hour without
any recurrence of the dangerous symptom*
ou rou rax od a faw to exprf-M tern-wed Lop?,
hut they wore, very fow. The conviction
that some almost miraculous Intervention
tuuirt como or death most shortly ctisuo
ls as strong at it was this moruiug. The
dc:tars-vro rpalto as gloomy and despairing.
They sro inclined to tho opini?n that there
will be no middini item li, bat thal tho
President will hauy on for the
rvst of tho week, possibly longer.
Yet when ask.ul point blank whether they
bad given him up. Dr. IUIM answered "Ko,"
Dr. Agnew qualified hy "Yes," and Dr.
Hamlltou ?vailed, lt is evident that
the situation ls beoomlug moro critical
every hour. Dr. Boynton denies the
story in to-?iay's New York Titnes that bo
baa bsd any contlicting words with tho doc
tors. Dr. Aguew endones hie denial, and
.ays tho article IH false sud that no auch
quarrel occurred. lu stating this DT. Boyu
ton tncldontally remarked that Dra. DMAS
and Hamlltou did not agroo.
There is cixisldei-able ezcltemt-iit here to
night on scooatit of the nufsvorable and
oonHietlng rumors which come from Franck
lyn Cottage. The question of the Pres'.
dent's death appears to be settled, and we
now begin to bear of tho disposal of his
body and the discussion of the Inoomiag
Administration. It is said by nome
that tho family will insist upon
taking lt ltnmodlately to Mentor In the
most quiet manner, by others that the body
will he permitted to Ho in state for a time
In the rotnnda of tho Capitol at Washington.
In the meantime tho few hopeful ones think
that the President will yet disappoint all
these plans hy lUibboruly refusing to die.

Prov loua tu bia death, the only words spoken
by the President were that he bad a severe
pain lu his heart. It is supposed by the
surgeons that death WRS occasioned hy a clot
of blood foriuiug on the heart. Hr. UYiiH
waa the drat one notified of ibo President's
expression of paiu, an.I ujsm entering the
room ho at once saw that the end was m-ar.
Tlie inemliers of the faintly were immedi
ately summoned to tbs bedside. All arrived
and perfect .inlet prevailed, and Mrs. t?ar
nelil hore the trying ordeal vvitli great tort:
tude and exhibited nnprecedeuled routage.
She gave way t?i no paroxysms of grief, and
alter dent h became evident tho quietly with
drew to her linn room. There she sat, a
heart-broken widow, full of grief, but with
too much Christian courage to exhibit it to
those around her.
Miss Mollie was natur illy greatly affected,
and bursts of tears flowed from her cbild
eycs, uotwithbtaudiug a nublo effort to fol
low the example of ber mo'-hei.
The death scene WBS OUB never to lie for

was not a murmur heard wh:h> tho Presi

pronounced tho body waa properly arranged
by Dr. H. A. Boynton.

and he might live a week. Ho still has u(
great deal of strength. His vitality ami

perfectly wonderful. Dr. Agnew and him

withstanding the bad history of this ease yet
when oue t-utored the room and saw tho
firm reliant expression upon tho Presi

lt was enough, the Doctor said, to take one
almost oil Ids fwot. Dr. Bliss concluded hv
saying : "Hope is hurled only in the grave."
Tho Doctor further said there ia no imme

derstand why I am so weak when 1 look so
well." His voice is not so hoarse sa when

no evideuco of repair this morning in any of

Dr. Agnew being asked agaiu recently
