Mr. Steiger is a well educated and refined gentleman. He gives a vivid description of the at tempted assasiuatien of President Garfield, and of theexcitcmentat Washington. Mrs. Steiger, who is an old Columbian, is the daughter of Squire Yeung, and an agree able lady. They have just returned from Ilchebetb. The yard and interior of the Pennsylvania railroad round house at this place presents such a neat and beautiful appearance, that we cannot refrain from giving our many readers a description qf it. Te the right, left and rear of the dispatcher's office is the yard which covers an area cf ground oue hundred feet long, and nearly fifty wide. The paling is;as white as white wash can make it ; the grass is cut sheit, and ilowers and rare 'plants be deck the many shape mounds in the yard, some of them representing squaies, angles, stars and anchors. A graveled path extends around the whole building, while the out houses are iu a perfect sanitary condition. The interior of ths ' round house presents the appearance of a cave, and the whele of this beautiful place was constructed and is taken care of by Messrs. A. D. Baker and James Daily. These gentlemen deserve much credit for their handseme handiwork, and a meic neat and handsome round house does net exist in this state. A Brakcman Killed. Following are the full particulars of the killing of the P. R. R. brakeman iu the railroad yard lasb night (of which an ac count appears elsewhere in te-day's In telligenceu) : " His name was Valen Valen tieo Meck, and be was attached te the train drawn by engine Ne. 70, westward bound. He was leaning en the bumper of the hind car, waiting for another train te " drop dewn'' and at the same time his own train was making a coupling at the front part. The jar caused by the train backing threw him ferwaid en the track. Conductor Gillman attempted te pull him from the track, but Meck being very heavy, did net succeed until one set of wheels had passed ever his body. His neck was broken by the fall, and his chest aud stomach crushed in by the wheels passing ever him. He lived for a few moments after the accident, which hap pened exactly at 11:47 p. m. This is a positive fact, as the hands of his watch, which were crushed, iwinted te that time. A dollar in change, his watch and bcveral articles were found upon his person. His body was taken in charge by A. G. Musser, under taker, and this morning Deputy Corener Frank held an inquest, and a verdict of killed by being run ever by a freight train was given. His remains was sent te Lancaster iu the 12:40 train and from there were sent te his home en the Pacific express. Mr. Meck is a yeuug, single man, 23 years of age, and lives at Exten, three miles north of Ceatcsville, his parents also living there. He has been en the railroad for some time and was an honest, faithful employee. The sad news was at once tele graphed te his new sorrowing parents. A Large Family. Among tl'e immigrants who passed westwaid tlueugh this city yesterday was a German family grandfather, grand mother and their nine children, six sons and three daughters, all of whom are mar ried, with their families, en beard the same train. There were forty crand children and eleven great grand children. The entire relationship consisted of nincty- five people. The head of the family, Solo Selo Sole mon Whichter by name, was a stalwart German, seventy-three years old, and his wife, with adevely face retaining even in its age traces of beauty, was sixty-eight years old. The family gees te northern Iowa, and will settle in the same town ship, the men being practical farmers, butchers, weavers and shoemakers. Anether Colored Cainpmeetlng. Revs. J. R. Davis and A. A.

Executive Mansion, -"Washington, Aug. 17, 10:30 Unofficial. In conversation this morning en the president's condition, Dr. Boynton said the prospects were consider ably brighter aud that the patient is rest ing comfortably. In reply te an inquiry, the Dr. explained that the enemata which were being administered consisted princi pally of diluted extract of beef, a yolk of an egg, and whisky, the whole being dis solved aud slightly heated. Dr. Bliss in conversation en the same subject, stated that a small portion of mu riatic acid was also a portion of the enema. The latter gentlcmau expressed the opinion that the president's stomach was gradually becoming stronger and re ferred te the fact that the nourishment was being retained as proof thereof. The doctor still remains hopeful, and 3ays there is no reason for giving the president's case up ye'e. Dr. Boynteu, in response te a question regarding the president's taking nourish ment in the regular manner, said it was possible that a very small quantity of di luted beef extract, probably a teaspoonful, would be given him about noeu. It would depend, however, upon the patient's con dition at that hour. He. has net been troubled with nausea since yesterday afternoon, at which time he threw off about agill of liquid matter containing a quantity of bile. Dr. Boyn ton says Mrs. Garfield continues very hopeful and feels rather mere encouraged te-day than she did yesterday. Ne Indications of Bleed Poisoning. Executive Mansion, Washington, Aug. 17. 11 :30a. it Unofficial Dr. Bliss in a second interview this morning was asked whether there was any thing in the presi dent's condition te indicate that pyaemia or bleed poisoning was the cause of the president's unfavorable symptoms. He replied very emphatically iu the negative and said that there was no connection whatever between the wound and the pres ent troubles ; that the unfavorable symp toms were due entiiely te the condition of the patient's stomach and that the attend ing surgeons were all quite confident that the treatment adopted would seen remedy this. Iu referriug te the appearance of the president, Dr. Bliss said that when he was shot his weight was about 210 pounds ; that his confinement bad reduced him probably soventy pounds, and that there was, of course, soma pallor ; but as he were a full beard, this was net se percep tible as it would otherwise be. All the reports received from the sick room this morning have been of an en couraging character, and while there is a feeling of reassurance, considerable anxiety is still manifested and the neon bulletin is anxiously awaited. The Moen Ottlcla! Ilalletln. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C, Aug. 17, 12:30 p. m. Official, The president's condition has net materially changed since the last bulletin. He has been tranquil and has slept some, has net vomited, aud the nutritive enemata are still retained. Pulse, 112 ; temperature. 93.7; respiration, 18. Signed D. W. Bliss, j. n. uaknes, J. J.

The president's mail has increased very materially since the relapse and the number of suggestions as te hew the unfavorable turn in tbe case should be met are innumerable. One cor respondent says that if transfusion of the bleed should be determined upon, he is ready te give half or all of his bleed it necessary te sustain and build up the presi dent. Dr. Agnew Speaks. Previous te the midday dressing Dr. Agnew was asked the condition of the nresident te which he replied : " He is better te-day." When questioned further, the doctor said : " There is nothing further te say than is contained in the bulletin which is stated ever my own, together with the signatures of the ether surgeons." The doctor was pressed for a reply te a question as te whether he considered that the patient had an equal chance for re covery. He said "It is a bad plan te speculate en chances ; the bulletin tells the story that the president is better te-day. Geed morning." Taken Nourishment. Executive Mansion, 2 p. m. Dr. Bliss just came from the patient's room and be fore leaving the mansion said that the pres ident had taken nourishment twice since themiddayjdressing,viz., at 12:45 and 1:45. It consisted of cooled infusion of beef mix ed with a few drops muriatic acid. The statement heretofore made that muriatic acid was of the compenenlPparts of the enema was erroneous. The patient lis given that about a teaspoonful. at a time. What has been administered tkaa far, has been retained and the improve ment anticipated by it has been realised. The president shortly after the first dose was taken expressed himself as feel ing better, and his pulse indicated great improvement, having become stronger and the number of beats materially decreased. The nourishment will be administered again about 3 p. m. The doctor is in excellent spirits and feels confident that the patient will new rally rapidly. The enemeta are being con tinned as usual in addition te the ether nourishment, and will net be dispensed with for the present. BUiitBd Hammend. Executive Mansion, Washington, Ang. 17.-2:45 p. m. In conversation this after noon regarding the statements made by Dr. Hammend relative te the treatment of President Garfield, in which he severely criticizes the ability of the attending sur geons, Dr. Bliss said it was tee bad that Dr. Hammend should say such things, and referred te the inconvenience he had gene te when the doctor was in trouble te assist him. The longer the speaker dwelt upon the sub ject the warmer he grew, and in conclu sion he said that the statements credited by the press te Dr. Hammend were sim ply infamous and untrue. ON THE RAMPAGE. Guiteau Makes Anether Murderous Attempt. Washington, Aug. 17, 10:30 a. m. It is reported en the street that Gniteau, the assassin, attempted te kill one of the guards at the jail this morning. Tne Repert Denied. Washington, August 17. The reported attempt of Guiteau te kill te kill a guard at the jail this morning is entirely without foundation. The Story Continued An Excltlug Tassle with the Asimssla. Washington, D. C, Aug. 17. A pre vious dispatch, stating that there was no truth in the story that Guiteau had at tempted te kill one of the jail guards, was based en information received from police headquarters. There is every reason te believe that the police authorities have falsified the facts. The Evening Critic, in an extra, gives the following details of tbe assault : ''This morning at 4:30 o'clock, while Mr. Gee. C. McGill, ene of the guards at the jail, was passing through the corridor, something in the appearance of Guiteau's cell attracted his attention. Entering the cell, he found the assassin in possess ion of a knife. Hew he ebtainei it is a mystery. When he demanded the knife, Guiteau refused te surrender it. Mr. McGill drew his pistol and then an exciting tussle ensued, Guiteau making every exertion te get the pistol. He succeeded after a struggle, but Mr. McGill afcer the most strenuous exer tion, regained possession of it. In the scuffie that followed the weapon was dis charged and the report brought ether guards te the assistance of Mr. McGill, and Guiteau wasfinally disarmed. He had succeeded, however, iu cutting McGill's clothes pretty badly and came near inflict ing a dangerous wound. Guiteau pretend ed te be crazy and complained that his pistols had been taken from him. " Guiteau has volunteered no explanation of the matter se far. It was also thought that he was attempting te escape, but Warden Crocker states that, in his opin ion, no attempt at escape had been mad9. His theory is that Guiteau, who has been in au extremely nervous and irritable con dition for some time, became se much ex cited and enraged at the sudden entrance of the guard, that he was led iute this exhibition of violence." A Policeman's Account. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C, Aug. 17, 1:20 p. m. Unofficial. Majer Brecks, of the Metropolitan peliceJ lerce, who nas just come te tne executive mansion, was summoned te the tele phone wire, and informed by a policeman whom he had despatched te the jail te ascertain what truth there was in the rumor concerning Guiteau's attempt te assassinate a guard, that the guard was standing immediately outside of the deer of the cell when he noticed that the prisoner was actiyg in a strange and unusual manner, and he (the guard) thought was trying te hanir himself. The guard epend the doerand upon entering the cell Guiteau seized him and a scuffie ensued during which the guard drew his pistol in sclf-defcnse aud it was accidentally dis charged. Hearing the report'ef the pistol another of the guards rushed te the scene and separated the men. liieie wan no damage deue by the discharge of the weapon. TIED TO TUB TRACK. An Illinois Ruffian Fastens Itey te tne Ralls te be Run Over. Willie Cantrell, the 13-year-old-son of the section superintendent en the Indiana, Bloomington & Western railroad, was sent te a Geld for potatoes. As he was en his way home he was met by a middle aged man with a blue -shirt and smooth face. He seized the boy, threw him down, and with a rope tied him te the rails. The man then secreted himself a short distance away. The read here is curved aud has a heavy grade. The passenger train due at 3:45 was upon the boy before it could be stepped.. He was struck by the side of the pilot, which broke his ribs and one feet. As seen as the train has passed the mur derous ruffian ran te the boy, evidently exnectini? te find him cut in two. But the lad had twisted himself te one side and escaped with the above named injuries. The man cut and threw away the rope that bound young Cantrell, and th:n made his escape through a corn Held. Tbe train was backed up, and the boy was found in a ditch, meaning piteously. Several pas sengers saw the man go up te the boy after the train had passed ever him, and wit nessed his flight. Policemen and several parties are hunting for the brute, with tbe intention of lynching him. A Ureat Gambler. The late Duke of Alba, brother-in-law of the ex-Empress Eugenie, was one of the most persistent gamblers of the time. He once gambled away the snm of 5,000,000 francs in a single night's play. After Bauanderin? the immense fortune which he inherited, he received a pension of 60,000 francs a year. He was paid snenui- ly, but by the illteentn aay m j month net a franc was left of his 5.00U francs, and he used te borrow five or six leuis d'er in the clubs. At lastj however, a turn of fortune came. All his debts were paid, and the Duke of Berwick and Alba purchased one of the most splendid palaces in Madrid, where he lived in princely style, keeping a hundred" horses in bis stables and open table every evening rV n, j ferttgMits. Dariag the latter part f is life he only played fee very saafi Mar, fcsriaf wholesome dread of afsia risk ing his fortune and position. SHOOTING STARS. ir Akeat Wny de Turns Net Repert? Philadelphia Recerd. Within a day or two of Aegast 15 is trenerallr considered the appointed tisse ifer sheeting stars, and theagh April sad- uecemoeraueao sesseuusg u uar, November alone is the ether par ereelTeaee for meteoric displays. Whether "sfceetiag stars," as the meteors are pepalarly termed, areorarenetthesraalldasterthe unnoticed debris of comets, as sea' as tronomers suppose, there is w q tien that they fellow in the train of eessets as attendants and that there are eertsia systems of these "weird wanderers is space" whose path the earth cresses at definitely recurring periods, and it seesss no violent hypothesis that, either as eoat eeat eoat penent parts or as attendant satelites, they may have been brought into enr solar system by some of the many comets which have visited enr sphere. In 1886 Professer Newton, of Yale College, pursuing the) theory of Professer Olmsted, of the saase institution, predicted a great display of November meteors, which occurred nearly at the hour foretold ; and Scbiapar- elU, an Italian astronomer, at about the same time, found se close an agreement between the Auzust meteors and the great comet of 1863 that hardly a doubt of their connection with that body could be entertained. Professors Peters, Tem ple, Leverrier and Adams (the two latter being the same gentle men who simultaneously discovered tbe planet Neptune) by falling into the same error, by the way, as was maintained by the late Professer Benjamin Peirce, of Harvard, who held that Neptane was net the predicted planet, but one of two pos sible ones which 'merely happened te be in in the part of the heavens indicated at the time subsequently determined tnat the November meteors have a period of about thirty-three and one-third years. The general belief new seems te be that the August aud Novem ber meteors fellow in the train of a comet which ence approached the sun from a region of space far ontside of the solar system of planets, wheeled around the sun and then departed again into the depths of ether. This much is all that con fairly be said of them, however, they come and go periodi cally, and a comet is supposed lirst te have led them ; but whether or net there ever was such a comet, or whether, if there was they were part of it or merely attended it is a matter of conjecture. Meteors of the sheeting-star order are tee flimsy te ceme through the earth's atmosphere without being dissipated as small dust, and in this respect they differ from the aerolites, ropertsof the appear once of which in considerable numbers have lately come from various parts of Eurene and the United States. Aerelities are new quite generally believed te have been originally thrown out ei our own planet in some terrible vulcanic three, and te have been since then been revolving in orbits of their own around the sun, cross ing at each revolution the point at which they were shot from the earth's orbit, and naturally being attracted back te the earth whenever she reaches that point.
