JAKE SHARP'S CONDITION.

New York, April 3. - Justice Patterson in the supreme court special term Tuesday morning handed District Attorney Fellows the reports of the physicians regarding the condition of Jake Sharp's health. Dr. Alfred L. Loomis' report is as follows:

"This is to certify that Mr. Jacob Sharp is confined to his bed with acute capillary bronchitis, complicating chronic disease of his heart and kidneys. I regard him as very seriously ill."

The report signed by Drs. Fordyce Barker and George B. Fowler, while considerably longer than Dr. Loomis', corroborates the latter's statement, and states that in view of Sharp's great age the natural progress of recovery to a sufficient degree to admit of his being taken to a court room will require at least four weeks. After the reports had been read the argument upon the motion for a change of venue was postponed until Wednesday, April 11.
