ANAHEIM VOL. VI. Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...JUNE 17, 1876. ALDEN FRUIT DRYER. Our Westminster correspondents have frequently alluded to the prolific nature of the fruit crop in that district. One writer says: "If an Alden is not erected in Anaheim we will have to erect a cheaper dryer ourselves." We have more than once drawn attention to the advantages to be derived from the establishment of drying works in our district, and presume they are well known to all. But we bear nothing further as to the scheme being carried out. When our Westminster friends are proposing to erect a dryer for themselves, it seems to us it is time our fruit growers were up and doing. It will certainly be a standing reproach to Anaheim if we allow Westminster to get ahead of us in this matter, especially when we consider that the quantity of fruit raised in Anaheim district is so much larger than that in the colony. All the vineyardists with whom we have spoken on the subject, agree that at the prices quoted LETER FROM PHILADELPHIA. [Special Correspondence of the Gazette.] CENTennial Grounds, May 27. In looking over Liberia's department in Agricultural Hall, I find in a paper describing her productions, such as coffee, palm oil, soap, cotton, etc., a page set apart to tropical fruits, in which is the following article on RAISING BANANAS, To-wit: "The most perfect banana plantation in the United States is that of Colonel Whitney—over 200 miles south from Jacksonville, and practically beyond the region of killing frosts. This plantation covers an area of several acres, and contains over 10,000 plants, most of them in bearing. The plants are of different varieties. Some of them are huge trees, twenty feet high, with a trunk from six to eight inches in diameter, while others, and probably the largest number, are of the celebrated dwarf species, standing from six to eight feet high, with a trunk from four to five inches in diameter. The banana, as cultivated in this climate, bears no visible seed, but it is propagated from slips or cuttings which bear transplanting well, and grow with great rapidity. These slips are generally planted about eight feet apart; if it is the dwarf species, an acre of ground will contain from 600 to 700 plants. They require a deep, rich soil, and considerable moisture. It has always taken a strong agriculture. Here are Iowa, oranges from pineapples, citrons, leeks and ripening cocoa America—in fact, anything from all parts save California, which think was so afflicted pers that it had no while. KANSAS. Which, in fact, was dehoppers, has an immense display of every yielded within her every other State; and agent told me that she had been shown to the land had increased the usual sales, and the already felt was equal in value upon her real per acre.

Has a good display, attained a prestige upon with the world's co-which she could not obtained by expensive her monuments of drains grains, flax, hemp, brief, intelligent sta-tion to those who partiment for know-them to select homes their dependents. When our Westminster friends are proposing to erect a dryer for themselves, it seems to us it is time our fruit growers were up and doing. It will certainly be a standing reproach to Anaheim if we allow Westminster to get ahead of us in this matter, especially when we consider that the quantity of fruit raised in Anaheim district is so much larger than that in the colony. All the vineyardists with whom we have spoken on the subject, agree that at the prices quoted by the Alden Company, as those they could pay for the fruit, there would be a large profit in raising it for drying. It is also true that the business must pay the company or they would not be extending their operations as they are doing; and they are willing to sell their apparatus and take their pay in raisins. This being so, we see no reason why the fruit growers should not build, equip and run a factory of their own, and thus reap the double profit. The apparatus can be paid for in produce; the raw material can be furnished by the owners of the drier, and we should say under these circumstances that such a company ought to be started with very little cash outlay and with good prospects of large profits. Let Anaheim and Westminster join hands, if need be, and work together, or let Anaheim undertake the good work single-handed; we care not which, so long as the desired result be brought about. SOME CURIOUS OFFERS. It is positively amusing to read the curious advertising propositions received by nearly every mail at the Gazette office. About two weeks ago, a Chicago firm proposed to lease a column of our paper at extremely liberal rates, payment to be made in "Van Kirk's pure Holland Gin," at wholesale prices. Another advertising proposition from a New York firm, received a few days ago, offers to take a half-column for a year, and to pay us with a hundred odd volumes of a book bearing the tempting title of "Marriage Guide." And per yesterday's mail came a proposition from the United States Advertising Agency in New York, which is so extremely liberal that we must really decline to consider it. The following is the proposition: Gentlemen: — I have two hundred acres of land in Laureens county, Georgia, which I will give you at two dollars per acre, and take full payment for same in advertising in your paper. If you want it let me know, and also in whose favor you wish it made out, and I will send you the high, with a trunk from six to eight inches in diameter, while others, and probably the largest number, are of the celebrated dwarf species, standing from six to eight feet high, with a trunk from four to five inches in diameter. The banana, as cultivated in this climate, bears no visible seed, but it is propagated from slips or cuttings which bear transplanting well, and grow with great rapidity. These slips are generally planted about eight feet apart; if it is the dwarf species, an acre of ground will contain from 600 to 700 plants. They require a deep, rich soil, and considerable moisture. It has no season, but the fruit generally matures in from eleven to thirteen months from the date of planting, and by properly timing the planting, ripe fruit may be obtained at all seasons of the year. The cuttings once planted first develop two leaves tightly yoked together, which grow to a height of three or four feet, when the blades begin to unfold one after another into great broad leaves, the stems forming a smooth trunk, which grows to the size of a large apple tree, composed entirely of these concentric leaf-stems or petals. In about eight or nine months, according to the warmth of the season, a deep purple bud peeps out just at the point of divergence of the upper leaves, and soon pushes itself into full view, its lengthening stem bending under the weight of a purple blossom shaped like a pointed egg. "Soon a leaf of this blossom opens at the pointed end and rolls back to the base, disclosing a row of five or six tiny bananas, nestled close together, as if hiding under shelter of its protecting leaf. Each miniature fruit has a waxen yellow flower at the end, with a stigma projecting through it. Other leaves of the blossom unfold one after another, in the same way until twenty or thirty clusters of fruit are developed, all clinging to one stem, when these leaves wither and fall, and the fruit swells and lengthens to maturity, which requires generally about three or four months. The great stem on which the fruit grows, bends under its weight until the long finger-like fruit hangs down in graceful clusters. "Each plant bears but a single bunch of fruit and then withers and dies, but while the fruit is maturing, there springs up from the base of the trunk several offshoots, which take the place of the old plant when it has been removed, and go on growing to the full size of the parent tree. "The fruit, when grown full size, begins to show streaks of yellow upon its deep green skin, when it should be gathered for shipment to market, as it is easily and quickly ripened after cutting, by wrapping the bunch in straw or in a blanket and keeping it in a warm place. By cutting the bunches at the right time they can be shipped. "An acre of ground will readily support 600 plants. Suppose the bunches to average seventy-five bananas each, and we have an annual income of $900 from a single acre. The cost of preparing and enriching the ground and setting the plants the first year, including the cost of the slips, will average $1 per plant, leaving a profit of $300; but they perpetuate them of them are huge trees, twenty feet high, with a trunk from six to eight inches in diameter, while others, and probably the largest number, are of the celebrated dwarf species, standing from six to eight feet high, with a trunk from four to five inches in diameter.

The New York Tribune publishes the following astounding intelligence: The men who have been pursuing Mr. Blaire, in the hope of getting him out of the way of other aspirants to the Presidency, have at last made an extraordinary and astounding discovery. It will, on to-morrow, be shown before the Judiciary Committee, that Col. Jack Duesbury of Indianapolis told Major Ben Burton of Arkansas that Dr. Pilgarlo of Kansas told Col. Beeswax of Virginia that Ben Butler told him that Gen. John Charles Fremont, during the present session of Congress, proposed to procure a charter to build a railroad to Lake Ngami, with the privilege of issuing ten millions of first mortgage bonds, one-half to constitute an electoneering fund for the benefit of Mr. Blaire, for which that gentleman had agreed to put it through Congress. Intense excitement exists among the friends of Mr. Blaire, as they fear that their prospects are plown "sky-high." The Courier-Journal explains that the remark of Col. Breckenridge in the Kentucky Democratic convention, the other day, "that the meanest Democrat candidate, on the meanest Democratic platform is better than the best Republican candidate on the best Republican platform, is certainly open to an interpretation altogether foreign to its intended meaning, but those who attack full significance to all the worlds employed by the speaker will discover that, instead of being the mere expression of puritan prejudice, it is an grammatical allusion to the fundamental differences of philosophies between the two parties." ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 17, 1876. always taken a strong interest in its agriculture. Here are apples from Iowa, oranges from Florida, mangoes, pineapples, citrons, lemons and green and ripening cocos nuts from South America—in fact, anything and everything from all parts of the world save California, which many people think was so afflicted with grasshoppers that it had nothing to send; while KANSAS, Which, in fact, was devastated by grasshoppers, has an immense and magnificent display of every conceivable thing yielded within her borders, excelling every other State; and, as a result, her agent told me that since her collection had been shown to the public, her sales of land had increased one-third above the usual sales, and the general effect already felt was equal to an increase in value upon her real estate of one dollar per acre. Not an inch of space does the State of California, as a State, occupy in Agricultural Hall, in the most important of all her interests. OREGON Has a good display, and by it has obtained a prestige upon the Pacific coast with the world's commercial men, which she could not have otherwise obtained by expensive effort. She has her monuments of dried fruits, flour, grains, flax, hemp, coal, woods and brief, intelligent statements for distribution to those who come to her department for knowledge, so enable them to select homes for themselves or their dependants. Not a line or a Orange Home. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Thomas Halse received the contract to dig or bore the Joint stock well, his bid being $140 to go 100 feet. We learn a San Diego county gentleman is arranging to kill and paddle his whole hand of sheep by the quarters at the following (parties purchasing each week alternate quarters,) at 50 cents each. We learn the Orange Literary Society have arranged to hold the Fourth at Laguna sea side. They are preparing to have music and literary entertainment, &c., &c. Also, an old-fashioned, New England feast, in costume. The leaders are experienced hands, and no doubt a good time can be expected with all certainty. C. C. Highy and Dave Waymouth left for the Black hills on the afternoon of the 1st instant, overland, via. mule team. Conductor Mateer extended us a short visit, accompanied by Dr. Burtnett, of Santa Ana, on the 2d last. He has been unwell for some time past, and happy we are to learn that he is once more able to visit his friend, and trust soon to see him filling his old position on the Southern Pacific Railroad between Anaheim and Los Angeles. We learn quite a number in this school district have given their word that they will stand suit before they Railroad Extension to San Bernardino. Two weeks since we published an article on the importance of extending the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad to San Bernardino at an early day. We assumed (as the grade is an easy one and there is enough rolling stock already on hand to operate the road) that the cost of constructing the 70 miles would not exceed $8,000 per mile, making the entire cost $420,000. The route described is longer than the one formerly designated, but this is more than compensated for by its being run through a rich country that would in a short time furnish an extensive local patronage all along the line. Its course, as suggested, would be from Los Angeles through the rich Los Nietos settlement, touching at Anabeim, thence proceeding up the Santa Ana river within a few miles of Orange, passing Riverside, and terminating at San Bernardino. The $420,-000 we appropriated as follows: L. A. & I. R. B. Co. $100,000 Los Angeles City 150,000 Riverside 50,000 San Bernardino 100,000 Los Nietos settlement, Anabeim, Orange, etc. 20,000 Total $420,000 But suppose the cost would be $500,-000. If the L.A. & I.R.B. Company furnish $100,000 (which we daresay they would) only $400,000 would remain to be taken by the people from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, including those two cities. Now, look Poker and Politics. They were talking politics and playing bean poker—twenty beans for a quarter. There were three of them, all Democrats, and for convenience we will call them Smith, Brown and Robinson. Smith was dealer, and while he was dealing the cards, Brown and Robinson were discussing the overwhelming corruption among the officials of the land and shoving cards up their sleeves. The cards being dealt, Brown, who sat next the dealer, passed at the same time remarking, "As I was sayin', the fearful corruption which runs through every branch of the public service is horrifying to every true patriot; the blush of shame mantles my cheek when I think of Grant, the President of the United States, lending himself to all kinds of treachery and jobbess, and surrounding himself with a horde of bloodsucking robbers who are draining the very life blood out of the people." "It's perfectly awful; I chip," said Robinson, as he neatly disposed of his hand and got four kings out of his sleeve. "I pass out," said Smith. "Just look at Belknap, and Babcock and Blaine, and the rest of them follows; I raise you twenty beans" remarked Brown, as he deftly got from his sleeve the four aces which were there concealed. "Yes, and think of Bristow and them males; let's see, I call that raise and go you twenty better," returned Robinson. "That sizes my pile; go back a few years in this administration and pander on the Credit Mobility, the back pay steal, the raisin' of the President's salary and the use of money to carry elections in New York; such things as them were never heard of in Andrew Jackson's time, or when the Democrats were in power, I tell you; what have you got?" said Brown. I've got pretty nigh an invincible; here's two little pair of kings," replied Robinson as he laid his hand on the table. "Oh, I can just rake them; there's four bullets," said Brown, as he reached for the pot. Conductor Mateer extended us a short visit, accompanied by Dr. Burnett, of Santa Ana, on the 21st. He has been unwell for some time past, and happy are we to learn that he is once more able to visit his friends, and trust soon to see him filling his old position on the Southern Pacific Railroad between Anaheim and Los Angeles. We learn quite a number in this school district have given their word that they will stand suit before they will pay the assessment. We learn that the Collector intends only abiding by the law and no more; but costs, you know, amount up, so think twice before acting. C. B. Andrus is spending the week up the Santiago Caflon, under the hospitable roof of Capt. Sam Shrewsbury. If he does not find Sam a large hearted man, then we give it up. Quite a heavy rain visited us on the 6th—something unusual for this climate, you may be sure. A. C. Shaw, of the Southern California Mutual Aid Association, was to see us on the 6th inst. He is a wide awake agent, and we hope a prosperous future will crown his efforts. D. C. Hayward and Coly. Travis took two large loads of trees to Los Nietos this week. All the budded orange. Our DAILY GAZETTE reminds us of the old play, "now you see it and now you don't." We do not blame the editors, but the Postoffice is not up to time, or past time. "Which?" X. Y. Z. Celebration at Santa Ana. We, the people of the Santa Ana Valley, assembled in mass meeting in the school house, at Santa Ana, the 10th of June, 1876, Dr. Greenleaf elected Chairman, and P. Peerson, Secretary. The object of the meeting, stated by Mr. Morgan, was for the purpose of getting up a Centennial celebration, by the people of Santa Ana Valley, on the south side of the river on the next Fourth of July. Motion by Mr. Jones, that we, the people of Santa Ana, celebrate the Centennial Fourth of July, adopted. Moved and carried that Anaheim, Westminster, Olive Grove, and Los Bolsas are invited to participate in the celebration. Moved and carried that the celebration be by a real old-fashioned Barbecue. Adopted by a unanimous vote. Moved and adopted that members be elected from each place—Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin and Newport—to act as committees. Executive Committee (to superintend the exercises of the day); Orange—M. F. Parker and C. Bowers; Santa Ana—Russell and Dr. Roberts; Tustin City—P. Potts, and G W. Freeman.Newport—W. N. Telford and P. S. Moesser. Executive Committee to act as Financial Committee. Committee to select and prepare the ground: Orange—C. M. Marshall, J. Huntington and Dr. Trussdale; Santa team. But suppose the cost would be $500,-000. If the LA & I R R Company furnish $100,000 (which we daresay they would) only $400,000 would remain to be taken by the people from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, including those two cities. Now, look at the proposition from the stand-point of an enlightened self-interest. It would require only 1,000 persons to take stock to the amount of $400 each. No such division, perhaps, as this could be made, but there are parties sufficiently interested who could well afford to subscribe larger sums, that would easily make up the deficit of those who could not. If properly viewed, there is not a farmer or business man upon the entire route who would not find it a paying investment to take at least $100 stock. It is a simple question of arithmetic. Let each one calculate what has been the cost heretofore on his freights, and then (using data already furnished by the reduction caused by our little competing line from Santa Monica to Los Angeles) make a new estimate, and see how long it will take him to "get his money back." But this is not all. A line of railroad, as suggested, would induce a rapid settlement upon the thousands of acres of land now unoccupied, and the value would be greatly increased. Nor do the benefits end here. The road would be a valuable one, and as it runs almost parallel with the Southern Pacific, it would be hardly possible that Company could ever afford to pay the price asked in order to absorb it. So it would continue to be a competing line, becoming more and more valuable, as the population thickens, and remain as a perpetual check against high rates of transportation over a large area of territory. And we might add a further advantage that is not to be disregarded in the discussion of this important enterprise. The people of Southern California earnestly desire the speedy completion of a competing railway across the continent. This will have narrowed the gap by some seventy miles, thereby greatly increasing the inducements for capitalists to take hold and push the road at both ends—in California and Utah. It should also be remembered that there is nothing in the nature of a subsidy asked for the building of this road. It will pay from the very beginning—indirectly, in the reduction of freights and the increase in the value of lands and other property along the line; and directly, we believe, at an early day, by the return of handsome dividends—Santa Monica Outlook. Acting under the provisions of an ordinance of the Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Nunan gave an order yesterday that the hair of all prisoners in the County Jail, serving out terms of imprisonment by virtue of a judgment Veterans of the Mexican War, intending to visit the Centennial, will be interested in the following letter from Governor Stanford to General George S. Evans, of Stockton, in relation to free passes over the Central Pacific Railroad: "Gen Geo. S. Evans, Dear sir.—In reply to yours of the 15th inst., in relation to passing Mexican War Veterans over the Central Pacific Railroad free, I will state that on presenting their discharge papers and proper credentials, agents are authorized to pass them from the State line to Ogden. We have no arrangement with other roads, so we can not pass them further than our own road. "Youra truly, Leland Stanford." When the question of the election of an editor for the Ladies' Repository came up in the Methodist Conference, Dr. Curry remarked that the Repository had outlived its usefulness, and that all it needed now was a decent burial. Whereupon, acting perhaps upon the Doctor's hint, the Conference almost unanimously elected him editor of the perilical. He had just been supervised as editor of the Christian Advents, the most powerful organ of the denomination in the United States. This may not have been intended as a political joke by the Doctor but it is evidently true.

Acting under the provisions of an ordinance of the Board of Supervisors, Sheriff Nunan gave an order yesterday that the hair of all prisoners in the County Jail, serving out terms of imprisonment by virtue of a judgment of the Pollee Court, should be cut within an inch of the scalp. A barber was in attendance, and a number of white prisoners were compelled to have their hair shortened. After these had been attended to several Chinamen were brought into the presence of the barber. The operation relieved the "Chinee" of their queue. They did not seem to relish the treatment. About three hundred Chinamen will have to undergo the operation. The first who underwent the process was Ah Foo, sentenced to imprisonment for 125 days for petit larceny.—San Francisco Call. About a week or ten days ago two politicians of national reputation, a member of a great banking house in London, and John Chamberlin, the well known turf man, who makes his Winter quarters in Washington, sat down to a quiet scene at draw in one of the leading hotels there. The play grew heavy as time passed, and the interest became so intense that the sitting lasted 30 hours, at the close of which Chamberlin was winner to the amount of $140,000. He celebrated his victory by a grand dinner a few nights afterward. Precautions were taken to keep the affair secret; but it leaked out, notwithstanding, and has been the leading topic in certain circles.—Cincinnati Commercial. A citizen of San Bernardino, who was at the last election an unsuccessful candidate for County Judge, now announces to the citizens of that town that he "will furnish fresh vegetables of the best quality, as cheap as they can be bought of any one, and will visit their dwelling daily with fresh supplies."

Wells, Fargo & Co. are engaged in moving their entire business from the corner of California and Montgomery streets to Halleck's building, on the northeast corner of Sansome and Halleck streets. The banking department has already been changed, and other departments are in process of removal. This morning some carpenters working on a new building on Second street near Alice, were horrified at finding an unknown man in a sitting posture leaning up against the foundation, underneath the house, dead. Lying beside him was a revolver, and on examination it was found that he had shot himself. The remains were taken in charge by the Coroner. A dispatch received here to-day by the Passenger and Ticket Agents of the Michigan Central, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Omaha and St. Louis Short Line, and Omaha and St. Louis, (cut-off) Railroad Companies, from their headquarters, ordered the discontinuance of reduced passenger rates, lately in force, and restoring the regular tariff.

At midnight Blaine's condition was steadily improving. He has the entire use of all his limbs; is able to turn himself in bed; recognizes his assistants, and occasionally makes remarks though he is discouraged by his physicians from talking. NEW YORK, June 12. The Herald's Washington special gives the following remarkable paragraph relative to Blaine's illness: General Garfield, who was among the earliest to call on the prostrated Speaker, said to the doctors during consultations as to the cause of aliments: "Gentlemen, you call it what you please, but it is a case of ammunition." WASHINGTON, June 12. This morning, shortly before eleven o'clock, ex-Speaker Blaine left his residence in company with Mrs. Blaine, and slowly walked to the Congregational Church, which is about three-fourths of a mile from their home.

The inhabitants of South San Francisco have shunt down entirely on the Chinese laundries, fish and vegetable peddlers, in consequence of the present anti Coolie movement. The last Chinese laundry in that suburb closed yesterday. SAN FRANCISCO, June 9. The recent turn in the Pacific Mail affairs has given rise to the rumor that the agency has been transferred from Mr. Bacon to Mr. Clyde, the latter representing the Panama Railroad interest, and an owner in the rival line of steamers recently inaugurated for competition on the southern route. The gentlemen confidentially connected with the Company states that no such change had taken place, and that it is not propable that Mr. Bacon will be removed but, from another source, even higher than the one referred to, it is learned that Mr. Bacon has actually forwarded his resignation. No change will occur in the superintendency of the dock. VIRGINIA CITY, June 8. The anti-Chinese mob at Carson is demoralized, three of its leaders are under arrest.

Weid, Landor Damillwitz and James Bassett were to-day appalled by the following remuneration package relative to Blaine's illness: General Garfield, who was among the earliest to call on the prostrated speaker, said to the doctors during consultationas to the cause of allment: "Gentlemen, you call it what you please, but it is a case of assimilation." WASHINGTON, June 11. This morning, shortly before eleven o'clock, X-Speaker Blaine left his residence, an company with Mrs. Blaine, and slowly walked to the Congregational Church, which is about three-fourths of a mile from their home. Just as they reached the church he complained of a severe pain in his head, and dizziness, at the same time placing his hand upon it. Entering the vestibule, he was so overcome with the sudden illness that he came near falling, but this was prevented and he was assisted to a seat on the steps when he exclaimed, "Oh, this pain!" A conveyance having been produced, Mrs Blaine returned with him home, he then being unconscious. A bad was brought into the front parlor, on which he was laid, and a messenger was sent for Surgeon-General Barnes and Don Bliss, Cox, Verde and Pope. They soon appeared and lost no time in coping his spine and resorting to other counter-irritants and revulsive enamata. From 11 A.M. until 4 A.M. he laid unconscious, breathing irregularly, his wife, physicians and other friends remaining at his bedside during that time. The physician said Blaine was suffering from over-exertion of the brain and nervousness of the system, superinduced by the recent events in which he has been a prominent actor;the symptoms being aggravated by the weather which, to-day, is very oppressive. Several weeks ago Blaine was confined to his house for some days by a low form of typhoid or malarial fever, but appeared before the Sub-Judicial Committee, who were investigating the charges against him before he had fully recovered from the effects of that disease. This with the excitement on his part,both before the Committee and in the House;the large number of persons daily in conference with him,and his attention to an extensive correspondence, including very many telegrams from all parts of the country,specially during the past week;the loss of rest and other causes;produced a strain upon his mind that caves his sudden illness to-day. Bristow called at the House as soon as he heard of Blaine's illness; as did also Secretary Fish,Robeson and Chandler,Postmaster-General Jewell,Sherman,Senators Ferry and Padock,General Garfield and other gentlemen of prominence. Sympathy for Blaine was not confined to political friends,many Democrats having called to inquire as to his condition,and greeting his sudden illness.At 4 P.M.Blaine's consciousness gradually returned,当他 recognized his wife and inquired of her what was the matter,and she replied that he was ill,and after that he for the first time turned over in his bed unaided.His breathing now is better,and his pulse stronger.The ena produced some effect,但 not to the extent desired,and therefore The Doctors applied elec- The farmers hereabouts hold a barbecue on Saturday next June 17th, in honor of the recent land decision. A special train is expected from Stockton and Oakland. The Central Pacific railroad has reduced the freight on grain to $2.25 per ton. The yield of grain will exceed that of any previous season.

The Blaine Club representing every county in Maine, being represented, and numbering one hundred and fifty, arrived here tonight. Conkling's friends are also busy. John and William Stewart, brothers, and Willie, son of the former, were drowned by the upsetting of a boat at Worcester, Mass., to-day: WASHINGTON, June 9. Jacob Thompson, formerly Secretary of the Interior, was served this morning with a process in a civil suit to recover a million dollars, the principal and interest of the bonds taken from the Interior Department while he was thereay. Thompson says that his enemies have abandoned the charge that he is guilty of abstraction these bonds, and this suit is brought to make him personally responsible for the difference out of his debts. Thompson is satisfied with Justice James Chambers. Sympathy for Blaine was not confined to political friends, many Democrats having called to inquire as to his condition, and regretting his sudden illness. At 4 P.M. Blaine's consciousness gradually returned, when he recognised his wife and inquired of her what was the matter, and she replied that he was ill, and after that he for the first time turned over in his bed unaided. His breathing now is better, and his pulse stronger. The enema produced some effect, but not to the extent desired, and therefore the Doctors applied electricity, and say the symptoms are favorable, although he does not appear fully restored to consciousness. This evening one of them said: in private conversation, that the attack was clearly a case of sun-stroke, to which Blaine was rendered liable on account of his recent illness, over-work, emulsion, and loss of rest. The physician further said that at first they were unpreensive that the attack might be apoplectic, but an examination disclosed no symptoms of that disease. For many hours many visitors were admitted, but after the doctors had administered enama, the rooms were cleared so that he might rest. Dr. G. W. Pope, an eminent practitioner in this city, who has been Blaine's family physician in Washington for the past eight years, and is especially acquainted with his constitution and temperament, furnished the following diagnosis of his condition at 8 P.M.: Mr. Blaine's case is one of simple cerebral depression, produced primarily by the action of excessive heat. There is no apoplectic congestion or effusion nor any symptoms of palsy. He has the free use of his limbs. The pupils of his eyes are normal. He has spoken several times and recognizes his family. He lies quietly breathes naturally and is disquieted in sleep. He has responded excellently to the treatment and I have every reason to anticipate a speedy and complete recovery. At 8 o'clock P.M. Dr. Ellis remembered that the patient's attack was yielding to treatment with memorable repugnity. The following telegram was received by Mrs. Blaine this afternoon from Congressman Hale at Grand Rapids over five invariable miles of Blaine's condition. Tall him than his earlier has improved all day. Both states coming in is falling fast again. He wonder he had a bad heart. The health has been immortalized.
