An Attempt to Kill Gulteau.
An attack was made on Gulteau on
Saturday afternoon, which, unfortunate
ly, did not prove fatal. Officer Edelln,
who accompanies the prisoner to and
from the jail and guards him, says after
they left the court, he noticed no one
near the van, until opposite the Holmes
House, D. street and New Jersey avenue,
when he noticed a man on horseback,
that he had seen in the court room. The
man came up close to the van and peered
in between the slats and then quickly
rode to the left 'side and fired a shot
through the side of the vehicle. He then
wheeled and rode rapidly back towards
first avenue.
Without waiting to see whether the
shot had taken effect the officer fired
at the horseman and turning the
van started in pursuit. The fugitive
however had a good start which was
made still greater by the time it
took to turn the van around.
After a pursuit to K. street, tbe officer
found it was no use to go further and
drove rapidly to the jail. The prisoner
was found crouching in a corner tremb
ling and too much frightened to come
out. He was taken to bis cell and it
'was found that the ball had passed
through his coat but had not cut the
ekin.
Rumors of Cabinet changes are so fre
quent, that it puzzles one to keep run of
the new men that the correspondents
are continually putting in office. Per
haps if we wait a while the President
will arrange a Hat that will be more
correct.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has sustained the wholesome principle
that a juror to be competent need not of
necessity be an ignorant man who does
not read the newspapers and forms no
opinion of what he reads. It is only
necessary for the juror to be able to
decide according to the evidence.
Three days were spent in obtaining a
jury for tbe Gulteau trial, and then the
court adjourned till Thursday morning,
when the trial was began by the exami
nation of Secretary Blaine. The prisoner
tries hard to act the insanity dodge, and
the chances are that either the jury will
call him insaneor disagree. He objected
to bens g Tried by "niggers" he said, but
still one colored man is on his jury.
A meeting of Independent Republi
cans was held at Philadelphia, on
Wednesday last, at which quite a num
ber of prominent politicians were pres.
ent. Steps were taken towards forming
an organization that should extend to
each county in the State. The object
seems to be to bring about such action
as shall unite all Republicans, and se
cure nominations at tbe next conven
tlon that will be acceptable to both wings
of tbe party.
The stockholders of the broken New
ark bank are particularly unfortunate,
They not only lose their stock entire,
but, ns they are individually liable for
the debts, nn assessment of 100 per cent,
has already been laid on tbe unlucky
holders, and HiIb may not be euougli to
cover the liabilities of the bank. Many
persons who considered themselves In
comfortable circumstances before the
crash are now ruined, and all this
through no fault of theirs.
Attorney General Palmer, has
determined to Institute proceedings
agolngst speculative life Irumrauce com
panies, and consequently on Saturday,
before the Dauphin county court, his
deputy, Mr. Gilbert, assisted by Mr.
McPherson, made application for writs
of quo wairanto against four companies,
contending that the companies had vio
lated the law under which they had been
created. Tbe four embrace the State
Capital and the prudential of Harrlsburg;
the Southern Pennsylvania, of York
county, and the Bteelton Mutual, of
Steelton. The wrltB are made returnable
on the 2Gth of November. The proceed
ings against these companies, If success
ful as la expected, will uproot the system
in Pennsylvania.
Land Trgubles In Potior County.
A scheme for the'wholesale stealing of
land has just been brought to the atten
tion of the county authorities. AtOs
wayo, a small town along the South
Branch Creek, a number of men have
commenced clearing land and building
houses In the midst of thealmoBt unbro
ken forest about this section. The lands
upon which these squatters have domicil
ed themselves belong to what Is known'
as the "Weston and Gale tracts." The
squatters claim that, under the terms of
of an old will made by William Penn,
former owner of this whole section .titles
to large bodies of land could not be made
good. They claim further that, upon
paying twenty-six cents an acre to the
State they will be granted a patent for
the lands they are now occupying.
Many of the largest tracts here are held
by Phlladelphlans and metropolian cap.
ItalistB, and are valuable for tbe Immense
quantity of lumber growing thereon.
One lumberman who had been sent to
cut timber by the rightful owner of the
land has been ejected by the squatter and
the latter is in undisputed possession of
tbe premises and vows he will not move.
No end of trouble is anticipated, as the
number of squatters is placed now at
from sixty to one hundred families and
the number is being constantly autjr
men ted.
A Mysterious Murder.
Starvcca, Nov. 14. The evidences of
a mysterious and horrible imlrder have
just come to light at a town called
Hancock, on the Erie railroad, not very
far from this place. A few days ago a
very handsome, well-dressed, and appar
ently well to do man made his appear
ance in Hancock He was subsequently
seen carrying a small satchel, in compa
ny with another stranger, and the
following morning his dead body was
found near the railroad station, a pistol
shot through the head and a pistol lying
by his side. It was at first supposed he
had committed suicide, but as it has
since transpired, he was foully murder
ed. On his person was found a handker
chief marked "C. T." and only nine
cents in pennies. The man's name was
Christian Tessera, of Fiemsbury, N. Y.
who had recently fallen heir to a very
valuable estate in Germany. He is
supposed to have had a very large sum
of money in bhusatchel. This satchel
was found in the Delaware river, rifled
of its contents and filled with stones.
The spot where the body was found was
surrounded by mud, yet the corpse's
boots were spotless, showing that tbe
murder must have carried his victim's
body and laid it where it was discovered,
with the pistol by his side, conveying
the impression that Tessem had suicided.
It is thought by the authorities at
Haucock, that he had in his satchel a
some of money which he was probably
taking to his bister who lives not far
from the place where he was waylaid
and murdered by some person who knew
Tessem had this money. Several other
circumstances show conclusively that
he did not shoot himself.
Bonds Safer than Gold.
Our readers will remember that a
couple of weeks since we noticed the
fact of an Ohio farmer insisting upon hav
log his bonds cashed in gold. A dispatch
dated the 15th., lust gives this sequel ;
Borne time since Jesse lialdwln a very
wealthy but excentrlo citizen who lives
near Youngstown, took about $17,000
in bonds to the treasury department in
Washington and demanded gold for
them. He brought the money 'home
and deposited it in a safe under his ball
way with other large sums In gold. This
morning five burglars entered the house,
blew open the safe and carried off be
tween $30,000 $40,000 In gold. The
family slept upstairs, and the first lntl
matlon they bad of the burglary was the
furious noise made in tbe blowing open
of tbe safe with powder. George Lewis,
Baldwin's son-in-law, fired three shots
nt tbe robbers as they left the house
with the lmH of gold In their arms, The
burglars fired buck. No one was Injured
ou either side. The robbers Imd pre
viously taken two of Baldwin's horses
and best carriage from the stable and had
them standing near the residence. They
Jumped into the buggy arid escitped,
going south. Baldwin has offered a
reward of $10,000. It has Just been re
ported that the cai rloge broke down four
tulles from Baldwin's house.
Very Strange"
Several days ngo a young man named
Donavou, of Mlddletown, near Harrls
burg, disappeared from his home. A
few nights after his dlsappearauce it
neighbor of Donavou 's dreamed that he
saw Donavou lying face downward in a
stream near tbe town, drowned. So Im
pressed was he with this dream that he
told lils friends. The following day he
and a number of other men secured a
boat and began to grapple for the body,
After a short search the corpse of Dona
vou was found lying face downward In
the water. The singular ful (II merit of
the dream created a profound sensation.
G&'On Saturday morning last Henry
Motter, a workman employed in min

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasbihoton, I). C, Nor. Ill, 18S1.
Since Hie elections and tlie President's vlalt
to New York a fresh batch of gossip and Cab
Innt rumors have started. Uno nf these U a
revival of tho report that Mr. Arthur seriously
contemplates bringing a wlfo to preside over
the White Houso. This Is denied hy those
who profess to know, yet everybody admits
that It would he a vory nice thlug for such
handsomo widower to do. Those writers who
speak of President Arthur as a bachelor are
mistaken.
Ills wile, who was a lady well-known lit
Washington, dlod but a short time provlous to
hl election to the Vlce-Presldoney. She was
an Intlniato friend of Mrs. General Bherman
and u so much attached to her that tho
President recently expressed to (Joneral Bher
man an ttitnllon to call and pay his respects.
It was suggested, however, that coUrt etlu,uet
made It proper for Mrs. Bherman to call at the
President's house Instead, which she did a day
or two ago accompanied by her little daughter.
Fresldeut Arthnr was very deeply attached to
his wife It Is said and has lately taken the same
pew In Bt. Johns Episcopal church which she
formerly occupied. The correspondent or a
Boston paper recently slated that Mr. Arthur
Is the third bachelor Fresldeut within twenty
Ave years. This Is wrong again. James Bu
chanan Is tho only bachelor occupying the
olllce during that time.
The latest gossip brlelly staled Is to the ef
fect that Secretary Lincoln will not remain in
the Cabinet, having no particular desire for
the place, especially as there Is considerable
feeling between him and Gen. Bherman. It Is
also alleged tbat Frellnghuysen will not now
be Secretary of State, having lost heavily In
the bursted Newark bank, and, feeling unable
to keep ap a fjliO.OOO establishment here on
f S.000. Postmaster General James, It Is said,
lias arranged to take care -of Vanderbllt's
bank on the 1st of next January. Notwith
standing all statements to the contrary, Mr.
Flllcy Is ou a hot trail after Mr, James' port
folio. Some very Interesting reading Is prom
ised when Bccretary Blaluo leaves the Cabinet
and, with BUI Chandler, gets a chance to re
lieve his mind concerning MacVeagb. Ex
Benalor Howe's nanus Is not as prominently
mentioned as Is Emory Btorr'i as MacVeagh's
successor. It Is stated upon pretty good au
thority that George C. Gorbam will succeed
Mr. Upton us Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury. GooVge stands no chance to ever again
be Secretary of the Senate notwithstanding
his Instrumentality In bringing Mahone's vote
over to the Republicans for that purpose.
In view of Mahone's Successful generalship
In Virginia he will be a greater Hon than ever
In political circles here. He Is now talked of
for a Cabinet position and as a possible can
didate for the Vice-Presidency. Virginia Is
too small for him beroafter, and he proposes
carrying war into other Southern States. One
drawback to this programme is the fact that
noue of the other Btates have a big debt to re
pudiate, or "readjust." Mahone has taken a
suite of rooms on tbe new Portland Flat on
Fourteenth street a One institution and the
first of tbe kind In Washington. Each suit Is
eutlrely distinct and separate from the others
and embraces every conventenco. The seven
rooms, Including a parlor, in Mahoue's suite,
are being haudsomely furnished and will be
occupied in a few days. The rent Is f 1,800
Meals, which of course are extra, are furnished
by the celebrated caterer Gray who is the ca
terer for tbe whole bouse. The General, at
the last session of Congress, occupied a suit of
rooms at tho Arlington Hotel, at the cost of
$1,000 a month. This suite was tho one oc
cupied by the Grand Duke Alexis, and Senator
Sharon, of Nevada.
Since autumn has cast tier rich halo of glory
about this beautiful city, environed by forest
hills and winding river, It Is apparent that the
grand Capital of state palaces, broad avenues,
long smooth streets and lovely parks and
grounds, has been much Improved daring the
season. The enchanting Capitol grounds have
grown In beauty a new park has beoo made
out of Mouut Vernon Place elegant mansions
have been built by many Statesmen and
wealthy men for winter houses In the city,
where banks of flowers yet bloom in tho 'gold
en autumn sunlight, and scarlet vines swing
In the soft winds o( Us gentlo clime.
