A ; PEOPLE'S SORROM
THE NATIONS HOPE
The news of the awful tragedy at
Washington, the attempted assassi
nation of President Garfield, the de
tails of,which are given in this issue,
was flashed over the wires on Satur
day forenoon last, July 2d, the first
telegram reaching here just before
ten o'clock. From that time down
to the hour of going to press bulle
tins have been received stating the
Plesident's, condition. The latest,
thank God, are favorbie 'and give
hope of his-ultimate recovery,though
not yet out of danger. _ The intense
sorrow expressed by the entire peo
-, ple, irrespective of party, on receipt
;of the startling intelligence, gave evi
dence of the profound respect for
and confidence in President Garfield:
Here, the people gathered about the
telegraph office and waited with in
tense anxiety the receipt of the hour
ly bulletins giving the condition of
. the wounded President. Men gath
ered in knots and in terrible suspense
discussed the impending calamity
upon the result of which seemed to
hang the fate of the Nation.. Com
ing at a time when prosperity was
smiling upon all the material inter
ests and industries of the country,
the administrative policy of the
President having been so just and
wise, men of all parties, with but . a
few unimportant factious exceptions,
awarded to him the due weed of a
wise, patriotic and just Executive of
the Nation's trust,i9 life, at this
juncture,! is of more importance and
value to ttlie Republic, than that of
any man now living. Not only is
he beloved by the people for his wise
administration, but for his manly
christien virtues : The example of
his life, having been of humble birth,
and by hie own determined will and
_tenacity of honorable purpose, risen
by a nation"s • confidenee to the high
est office in their' gift, has endeared
him to American citizens as the
noblest example-of the, possibilities
of American manlird. - -On the re

of Sunday morning contradicted, the
bah, of all uut tthalaieb tuned a re
quium_ for the nation's dead. Churches
and -business places *ere draped ; in
mourning. It was a sad hour, and
the profoundest gloom overspread
our entire conmunity. They retired
to rest under the impression that the
President Ives dead. On the receipt
7 0f this bulletins of Sunday Morning .
contradicting the report of his death,
verybody devoutly thanked God
and took courage. The -prayers of
- the people for his - safe recovery went
up to the .)lost High from the

. emblems of mourning were removed,
and the people were strengthened . by

The day was a mganificent one for
traveling. The President arose at an
early hour, attended to considerable
executive business, left his instructions
with Private Secretary Brown, and
was pieparing to start when Secretary
Blaine came to the White House. The
other members of the party, it appears,
had gone to the depot some minutes
before the time for the train to start,
9.30 A. M., - Secretaries Windom,
Hunt, Lineoln and Postmaster Gener
al James, accompanied by Mrs. Win
dom, Mi.s. Hunt and Mrs. James, had
taken seats in the special car attached
to the train. It was within five min
utes of the time of starting when the
Presidei4's carriage drove up to the
B . Stre . et \. entrance: to tie depot. Mr.
Blaine had accompenied General
Garfield to the train, and both gentle
men slowly alighted from the carriage..
The scene of the assassination of. Pres

main entrance in the centre of the B.

so' as to be perpendieular to the : B
Street front, and leave en aisle from
the)lstreet entrance and a passagii

either the right or left door, which are
about fifteen feet apart.

quickly around the back of the bench
es came behind the President and fired
the shot that struck him on the arm:
The President walked about ten feet to
the other end of tue aisle and was in
the act of turning to face i his assailant
when the..second shot struck him in
the small Of the back' and he fell di
agonally across the aisle. A scene of
the most ;intense excitement followed.
There wakfa'larger crowd present at
the :depoi', ,- -thati usual, many persons
having been attracted there to see the
President and the members of the
Cabinet. As soon as the reports of
the pistol were beard a rush was-made,
for the ladies' waiting-foom. Somebod y
shouted : ' 4 •Blaine is murdered 1" but
the Secretary of State rushed franti
cally into the main room, shouting' for
Colonel Rockwell. Mrs. White, the
Niloman in charge of the w4aiting-room,
was the first to reach the President.
The crowd stood aghast with horror.
She lifted up his bead. lie was death

police to: disperse the crowd, that the
President might have air: A small
space, was made, bid the policemen
were absolutely powerless to preserve
oiler. The news of the assassina
tion flew along the streets like wildfire,
and within ten minutes there were over
a,thousand people at the station. The
memkeys of the Cabinet and their wives
were notified of the event. -A man
burst into the car exclaiming. "The
President has been murdered !" The
gentlemen rushed from the car into the
station, while the ladies were left in a
state of spe".chkss suspense.
CARRYING THE VICTIM. UP-STAIRS

As soon as those who surrounded the
President recovered their almost par.
alyzed senses a mattress-was - brought
down from the Pullman office and the
President was laid upon it. Blood was
oozing from his wound's and 'soaking
through his clothes upon the floor. He
was,tenderly carried upon the 'mattress

TIEN ASSASSIN CAPTTIRED
TAKEN WHILE SEEKING 'TO` ESCAPE WITH
_ CMOI[XIIO TLEVOLIMR - Hf HZ HAND.
WASHINGTON, July 2.—A preliminary
examinatiqnof the President's wounds
was made a(the depot, and meantime
the assassin had not been allowed to
escape.' After firing the fatal shot he
started at a ) rapid pace through the
main Baiting-room, apparantlY intend
ing to escape by. the entrance on the
Sixth-street side. He held the smok
ing revolver in his hand, but was pre:-
vented from passing by: the crowd,
iwhieh pushed toward. the spot where
the President was lying. -He, turned
sharp about, passed within ten i feet of
his victim, and attempted to pass out
at the B-street entrance, through which
tne A rresident bad just gone. A po
liceman named Kearney, was standing
On the corner of Sixth and B Streets
when the shots were fired, and he ran
to the entrance of the last-named street
just in time to meet Guiteau as he was
coming out of the door. - Without
knowing that he was the assassin;
but attracted by the mkn's desire- to
get away, the officer grabl/ed' him and
held him as in a vice. Guiteau strug
gled a little to get away, his shirt be
ing, torn in the encounter, but Special
Officer Scott came to -Kearney,s assis
tance and the murderer submitted
quietly. "Yes," said the e assassin, "I
have killed Garfield; Arthur is Presi
dent of the United States. I am a
Stalwart. I have a lettet-Ahat will
tell you all about it. I want you to
take it up to . Secretary Sherman."
His pistol was taken from him and he
was removed without delay to Police
HeadqUarters, corner t:11 1 Pennsylvania
Avenue and Four-and-h-half Street.
Quite a crowd followed the officers
and the prisoner to headquarters.
But no violence toward him was at
tempted. In fact, but few of the peo
pl6 who saw hitin rushed thrOugh. the
street were aware of tire gravity of
his offence: He. was ;entered on the
police, books as follows: .

THE PRECAUTION AGAINST LYNCHING
THE CRIME LONG PREMEDITATED
WASHINGTON, July 2. —ln a•short time
after the news of the attempted emu
nation spread through the city a crowd
numbering about two hundred persons
gathered about police headquarters.
Anticipating a possible attem pt to lynch
the prisoner, it was, determined to take
him at once to y th e District Jail, which
is a mile east of the Capitol. The pris
oner tas considerably excited,(and ev
idently feared rough treatment at the
hands of the crowd. In this he was mis
taken. News that the • President's
wounds had not resulted fatally was cir
culated among the people: The pris
oner was rushed down - stairs and placed
in a carriage with Lieutenant Austin
and three detectives, and escorted by a
squad of mounted police, they were
driven to the jail. On the way the pris
oner conversed freely. In conversation
with De l tective McElfresh be said: "Mr.
McElfresh, I contemplated this act six
weeks ago .and intended to shoot the
President at that time. I laid for him
at the depot when the party went 'to
Long Branch, but Mrs. ClartieldjOoked
so sick and delicate I didn't have the
heart to shoot - him. No accomplices
were associated - with me. I did it all
mytielf." •
"iWhat induced you to counnit• thick

"It was to save the Repnblican party.
We were in danger of destruct[6n under
such an administration us that initiated

REMOVING THE BUIPERER.
PALE AND WEAK, BUT CONSCIOUS, AS HE
WAsimanori, July 2.—The physt
cuuismade an unavailing effort to 'dig
cover the ball at the depot.: It was ev
ident that:nothing could be done in the
Presence of such a crowd, and that the
slim chances of saving the President's
life depended upon placing him where
lie could have absolute quiet. A police
ambulance was sentior.sed it WWI back
ed up to the B-street entrance of the
depot. The President was brought
down stairs upon a stretcher Wine by
Chief Cronin of the - Fire Department,
Officer Coal ell and tWo other gentle
men. The doors were thrown open and
the crowd parted while the wounded
man was gently laid upon matrastes in
the bottom of the vehicle. The Presi
dent was very pale and weak, but con-
Scions. He opened his eyes and silently
waved. ,his - hand toward the crowd.
Strong men sobbed or cried at the piti
ful sight. A squad of twelve mounte d
policemen surrounded the _ambulance.
Colonel Corbin took a seat by the side .
of the driver, Colonel Rockwell was in
side, and three or four attendants clung'
to the steps in the rear. The vehicle
was driven slowly over the Belgian
pavement to Pennsylvania . Avenue. As
soon as the smooth pavement was reach- .
ed the horses were put at a gallop and
the cavalcade dashed up toward the
White House at full speed. Preceding
the ambulance to the White House by a
few moments were several physicians in
their carriages. The avenue was crowd
ed with people, who stood upon . the
sidewalks watching withtearfur eyes the
mournful processiok as it bore the al-,
most Ilfelesi body of the Preside& to
the White House. The east gates, south
of the Treasury building, were thrown
open.- The ambulance passed within
and the gates were ,closed against the
crowd. Officers were immediately
placed at all the entrances io the grounds
aid the public . was excluded.: As the
ambulance was driven up to the, south
entrance to the Executiie Mansion the
President was lifted out.. He looked up
and saw Private Secretaries Brown and
Cook Looking down' from one of the
windows. He smiled and saluted them
with his uninjured arm. Arriving at the
stairway directly back of the Blueu
Room the ambul ance Was brought to a

The first news was the worst, : "The
President is assassinated. He was
shot twice through the heart at the
Baltimore and Potomac Depot before
starting fOr New England.: .
At 10 A.. 141 the news came • "The
President is not yet dead. He lies at
the Depot and is receiving the best
medical attention. His wounds are
said to be fatal, but the examination is

Twenty minutes later : "One b4ll

but not necessarily fatal. Doherty is
the name of the murderer. Secretary

At 11.19 A. M. the following was

The physicians Offieved the pain in the '
feet and legs of *hick_ the President thiii
morning complained, and which wai
due to the injury of the nerves leading
to the lower extremities. , The symp
toms were not regarded as Sangerone

5:15 P. M.—The President partook
of a quantity of chicken broth a short
time ago and has retained it: He is
resting about the same as when his
condition was last reported.
0:25 P. M.—There is a strong feel
ing outside the White House that the
President's condition is more critical
at this time, than it has
_yet been:
This impression rests undoubtedly on
the remarks 'privateiy made by those
who are conversant with the case and
whose avenues of information are ,of
the best possible character. No offi
cial bulletin will probably be issued at
present, and it is held that the physi
cians in attendance are deferring the
bulletin in hopes that,i change fOrtlie
better will occur shortly.‘The anxiety,
which has been very intense all after
noon, has certainly deepened a great
deal in the last hour, and in this city,
at least, the gravest apprehensions are
entertained of a fatal issue.
745 P. M.—The. President- this
evening is 'not so comfortable. He
does not suffer so much from pain in
the feet. Tympanites is again more
noticeable. Pulse, 126 ; temperature,
101.9; respiration, 24. Another bulle

tens' change in the President's con
dition. Di. &gnew, an eminent sur
geon of Philadelphia, , says that, in his
- judgment, there are some features in
the President's case that are extremely
encourageing. Among these is the fact
that his kidneys and intestines are
entirely uninjured, and capable of per
forming their function„ The liver is
lacerated to some extent, and the large
nerves.leading from the. spine to the
lower extremities have been so inju red
as to cause the p•pin which the Presi
dent refers to in his feet. The stomach
however, -- Jetains nourishment, and
the patient is slowly gathering strength
to meet the secondary inflemation when
it occurs. - As yet there is little evidence
of it, and tiothiug' to indicate that it
will be of extraordinary, strength or
severity. Dr. Agnew regards the

12:20 P. M.—Secretary - MaoVeagh

opinion of Dr. Agnew: "The President's
condition, I regard as extremely critical
but not without hope."-
St;eretary Blaine sent the following
to the repiesentatives of the United
States in London and Paris: An im- -
portant Consultation was held this Mor

of the wound, the situation is as favor

President passes through to-day with
out loosing strength, it will be exceed
ingly encouraging. The crisis. how
ever, cannot be detlnitedy fixed, as
there may be a change at any - time.
The Doctor said the examinations con
firm the opinion that 4 the ball is located
in the neighboahoOd of the liver.
The President's, diet consists almost
exclusively of milk and lime water

He vomited slightly early this morn
