Latest From Washington.
The condition of the President at nine
o'clock a.m., Monday, was satisfactory
to his physicians. They report him as
progressing slowly and they think
surely towards convalescence, though
they do not call him as yet out of
danger, and It will be several weeks
before all dauger will be passed.
Pulse this morning, 88; temperature,
081 ; respiration, 18.
Otf Tuesday morning a tralu on the N.
J. Southern It. It., ran oft' the track
while crossing a bridge near Manchester.
One car was dropped into the water and
one man was fatally Injured and several
others badly hurt.
To prove that It takes all kind of
people to make a world we note the fact,
that a few days ago a Washington
woman took some broiled chicken, jellies
and other delicacies to the jail with the
request that they be given to the assas
sin, Gulteau. Her request was notgraut
ed much to her disgust.
The dead lock in the Senatorial con
test at Albany was broken on Saturday.
To fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Piatt, Hon. Warner Miller, at
present member of Congress for the
twenty-second New York district, was
elected. No election was made for the
short term, in place of Conkllng.
A New Jersey militia captain who
was Indiscrete enough to make a slighting
remark about the wounded President,
was obliged in consequence to remain In
retirement while his company was out
ou parade the other day and was a wit
ness of the burning of himself in effigy
by an excited crowd that would have
severely handled himself in person had
he fallen In their way. In several other
instances men learned that it was a good
time to keep either a civil or a silent
tongue in their heads.
Guiteau thinks it was the. first shot
that made the terrible wound in Mr.
Garfield ; he says that the President
sank down, at that shot. When spoken
to on the subject Mr. Garfield said : " I
think so too." He spoke of the terrible
shock he received when he felt the bul
let, and he says he felt his knees giving
away from under him. With the doc
tors he believes that the arm shot.whlch
only grazed the skin, would not have
affected him so much. Ills recollections
of the entire affair are very clear.
Threatens to kill Guiteau.
Washington, July 12. Secretary
Blaine received iu his mail yesterday a
postal card postmarked St. Louis, Mo.,
but without signature, upon, which the
writer stated that he had carefully
watched the reports relative to Presiden t
Garfield and should not be satisfied with
the simple incarceration of Guiteau in
an insane asylum or for a term of years
in the penitentiary, but that he had
vowed by all that was holy to take
vengeance for the suffering needlessly
caused President Garfield, and to kill
Guiteau himself, wilch statement he
desired not to be forgotten.
A Merited Retribution.
In Heard county, Ga., a fellow named
Waldrop committed an assault on the
wife of Dr. John Mitchell and then
murdered her. There was no doubt of
his guilt and after two days search by
the friends of the deceased, he was
arrested. That night a body of armed
men took him from jail and led him to
the spot where he committed the crime,
tied him with wires to a stake and then
placing pine around him burned him to
death. His screams rang out on the
quiet country air, and the flames lit up
the scene with lurid glare. The death
struggles were horrid, but not a man
stirred. Standing in a circle around the
human sacrifice, they looked with stolid
indifference at the horrid expiation of
llis crime. From first to last the officers
made no effort to save the prisoner for a
legal doom. If they had it would have
been futile, for popular passion was
frenzied. Waldrop was 23 years old,
and a man of good address.
The Murderous Toy Pistol In Baltimore.
A Baltimore paper says : There have
been a remarkable number of fatalities
here among children injured by ex
ploding paper caps on toy pistols within
the past few days. Up to this evening
eight children and youths have died of
lockjaw, superinduced by what appeared
to be trilling burns.
Terrible Thunder Storm.
A terrible storm passed over New
York, Brooklyn and Long Island, ou
Wednesday. During the funeral serv
ices in the Evangelical Church at Green,
vllle, for Wolfgang Stoecel, a prominent
member of the Knights of rylhias, a
thunderbolt fell within a few feet of the
building and shook It to Its foundation,
a panic ensued in the church. Many
ladles fainted, and those who retained
their senses rushed for the door. Anoth
er bolt struck the pole of one of the car
riages outside the church and knocked
the horses down. The horses attached
to the other carriages were frightened
and ran away. They were, with diffi
culty, recaptured. The minister sue
ceeded, finally, In restoring order In the
church, and the services were finished.
A lightning bolt darted out of the clouds
overhanging the suburbs ofBrooklyn,
killing Theresa Kelley, aged 12, of 1,740
Dean street. The child was bareheaded.
She had been sent upon an errand, and
was at Buffalo avenue and Dean street,
on her way to a grocery for a can of
milk and a package of pot cheese. The
lightning struck the can in her hand,
aud, running up her arm, left a purple
streak In Its path. It burned her eye
brows and hair. She was thrown down,
and when first approached was not dead,
but she died soon after being removed to
the grocery. Her father, Bernard Kelly,
last night removed her body to his
home. The place where the accident oc
curred is sparsely settled. In a garden
close by a laborer named Kenny was dig
ging with a spade. He was paralyzed by
the same stroke that killed the girl, and
It was over two minutes before he was
able to let go of the spade. Then he
seemed to have lost the free use of his
limbs. The child's body turned black a
few hours after the accident.
New York, July 15. Word was re
ceived at police headquarters late this
afternoon that three men had stolen
$10,000 in bills at the Grand Central
Depot aud escaped. The robbery, upon
Investigation, was found to have been
committed boldly in the open street.
At noon Charles Messersrnldt, a clerk
in the(employ of Jacob Ituppert, brewer,
drove In a light wagon from the brewery
at Ninety-second Street and Third
Avenue, down to deposit a sum of
money in the Germanla and Nassau
Banks. With him In the wagon was
Gustave Akerlon, an ofllce-boy. They
carried $9,300 in bills done up in a
package, and a bag filled with silver
dollars. At Forty-seventh Street their
wagon was run into by a vender's
wagon, in which three men were seated.
The supposed peddlers sprang from
their wagon, two attacked the clerk,
while the third cut .the reins of his
horse. In an instant they had seized
the package of bills, and, jumping back
in their cart, drove furiously down
Lexington Avenue, the bag of silver
fulling iu the street, making their escape.
Is It a Swindling Concern.
The Standard Oil Company is openly
charged with swindling the public by
marking on their barrels more gallons
than the barrels hold and then putting
from one to four gallons less into a bar
rel than it will hold, thus cheating the
merchants out of from four to eight gal
lons of oil in every barrel. This has
been asserted lu the Drug Heporter, and
the publisher of the Bradford Star says
he has tested a number of barrels and
found the charges to be true whilst the
barrels of all other dealers tested had
ful measure. If the charge Is true the
sooner all dealers stop buying the oil
made by this company the better.
Racing Ahead of a Locomotive.
Eiiinecliff, N. Y., July 11. A
crowd of persons at the Hudson River
depot in this city on Saturday afternoon
were horrified to see a team of horses
racing down the railroad track ahead
of a rapidly moving tralu. A teamster,
to make a short cut, had attempted to
cross the track above the depot Instead
of at the regular crossing. Just as he
got on the track he heard a loud screech
from a locomotive's whistle, aud, turn
ing around, saw a train , almost upon
him. He put the whip to his horses,
aud when he turned off the track at the
station the locomotive grazed the rear
end of his wagou. It was voted the
narrowest escape that crowd had ever,
seen.

man, a drawtender on Hodgdou's
Island, Sheepsscot River, left home
yesterday with his wife togo to Wiscasset

on Barter's Island, and being questioned
as to his wife, replied : "I have commit
ted a horrible crime and want to be
hung." The dory was picked up in the
river and found to be smeared with
blood from end to end, the inference
being that the woman had been literally

Davis & Sexton at Itlverton was robbed
of $4,000. Two men rode into the town

near Sidney, and hitched the animals
back of the bank. While Mr. Sexton
was getting money from the safe to
change a bill for them they leaped over

took the money, fled to the back door,
aud rode deliberately away, inviting the
crowd to follow. A large company Is
in pursuit. At the last accounts the
robbers were near the Missouri Hue, aud

A Queer Way to Prevent Hydrophobia.
As Susie Hunt, a twelve year old girl,
was playing with a pet cat at her home,
0 Adams street, Hoboken, on Sunday
evening, the animal scratched her
slightly on the hand. This angered the
girl, and she gave the cat a severe beat
ing. A few minutes after, while the
girl was sitting In a chair reading, the
cat sprang upon her and fastened its
teeth in her nose. The girl's mother,
who witnessed the occurrence, seized
the cat, and cutting Its head off, washed
the girl's face with the blood, In order,
as she said, to prevent .hydrophobia.
Heavily Insured.

county, Md., dated the 12th lust., says:
Itobert Bell, colored, died In this city
last night, aged somewhere In the
eighties. His life was kuown to have
been Insured for a large aggregate sum,
and his death and insurance policies
were the chief topics of conversation
to day. Quite a number are interested
in the policies, and the whole amount
is estimated at $00,000. It la said that
$174,000 have been taken on his life
during the past two or three weeks, one
syndicate investing $55,000.
A Father's Terrible Mistake.
At Lyons, Ohio, some time ago the
post office was robbed and since that
time Postmaster C. E. Carmon has been
very watchful for the burglars. About
2 o'clock Saturday morning his atten
tion was aroused by seeing a figure on
the roof of the house and he fired the
contents of a breech-loading carbine
through the head of the supposed burg
lar. Examination revealed the horrible
fact that he had killed his 14-year old
son Elmer, who had gone out either in
a fit of somnambulism or to seek relief
from the terrible heat.

A Difficult Problem Solved.
Ambition, competition and over-exertion
use up the vital powers of men and
women, so that a desire for Btimulants
seems to be a natural human passion,
and drunkenness prevails on account of
this necessity for bodily and mental in
vigoration. Parker's Ginger Tonio fair
ly solves the difficult problem, and has
brought health and happiness into many
desolate homes. It does not tear down
an already debilitated system, but builds
it up without Intoxicating. 201m

snakes was found in the hollow of the tree

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, July 13, 1881.
Against the opinion of anyone else, Guiteau
lias held that the first bullet fired by him was
the one which so seriously wounded the Presi
dent. He was bo rjcar the object of his wrath
and was so perfectly cool, that ho could hardly
have missed the exact figure of the President,
but, supposing the President to have swayed
to one side, as Guiteau says he did, after the
first shot, It Is easy to see that even a well
aimed second bullet might miss lha Intended
point. The President now agrees with Guiteau
that the first bullet made the serious wound.
The opinion of Senator Blaine, who Is said to
have been remarkable cool, during the scene,
would be valuable, but he refuses to talk for
publication. Col. Rockwell, intimate friend of
the President, says the latter, If he recovers,
would not accept the money now being sub
scribed for him. Neither, It is believed, would
Mrs. Garfield lu the unhappy event of a fatal
result to the President's wouad. The few
dozens of people wbo make up this quarter of a
million will doubtless find pleasure in so
doing, and we have no right to question the
motives of any of them. But auy necessary
provision for those a murdored President
should leave behind him should be made la
such a way that the recipients will feel that
all the people united la It, and this can only
be done by acts of Congress, the payment of
the President's salary for a full term and a
pension for services as commander In chief of
the army, both of which appropriations are
sanctioned by precedent will answer the
purpose. For the sake of the eniluent pro
prieties of the case, and because of the desire
of every citizen to be represented to such case,
this would seem to be tho better way of treat
ing the subject.
Geu. Arthur, as Is known came here at the
requost of the Cabiuet. All the members of
that body agree' now that the Immediate
danger is past In the President's Case, the Vice
President returns to New Tork city. His
Interview with Mrs. Garfield yesterday was
Tory agreeable, many circumstances making it
more so than their first after the shooting of
the President.
It Is pretty well settled that for the presont,
at least, tbere will be no discrimination made
on account of politics, In the discharges from
the pension ofilce. Over one hundred persons
will be dismissal this week, the reduction
being made necessary by the limited appro
priation for the payment of clerks, etc., but,
according to present advices, efllclency only
will be considered In selecting the victims. It
may be said In this connection that the now
commissioner Is making several changes la
the ofilce which promise to be beneficial.
