Storr's Opinion of Gulteau.
Hon. Emory Storrs, who returned to
Chicago from Washington on Monday,
thinks Guiteau's course and general
drift of the evidence will be sufficient to
convince the Jury that he knows the
difference between right and wrong, and
that at the time when be Shot the Presi
dent he was not acting from any irresist
able impulse. As to Judge Cox's con
ductor the trial, Mr. Storrs thinks the
Judge has determined to give the pris
oner the largest latitude, so that there
could be no error in the record of . the
proceedings.
A Night Watchman Shot.
Henry M. Boyer, a night watchman
- in the employ of merchants at Lebanon,
was shot on Monday night, and serious
ly, but not dangerously wounded. The
circumstances are these : He noticed a
light in the cellar of Miller's shoe store
on North Ninth street, at an unusual
hour of (die night and proceeded to make
an Investigation, He tried to force an
entrance into the building and the noise
alarmed the burglars, who rushed out of
the cellar in the rear. Boyer pursued
them, and one of the burglars turned on
him and fired, the shot going through
his arm above the wrist, causing an
, ugly wound. The burglars dropped
their plunder.
An Unfortunate Bride.
Richmond, Va., Dec 11. Yesterday
as Mr. William Wright, a young farmer
of Caroline county, who had been mar
rled nine months only, was felling trees
In the grove near his house, his young
wife came out to where he was at work,
bringing his lunch. He had just fulled
a large tree, which had lodged upon an
other tree, and he called to her to take
care; hut before she could get out of the
way the tree fell and caught her beneath
It, crushing her to the earth, where she
had to lay In agony until the husband
bad cut the tree. When he had accom
plished this task she was so frightfully
hurt that he could not move her. She
died In agony that night.
Four Marriages to Two Women.
Exceptions have been taken to the
findings of Justice Gilbert lu the case of
Edward D. Moore, a three-year-old In
fant sou of the late Austin D. Moore,
against Joseph Hegeman, ecutor, by
the other heirs of Austin D.Moore,
namely, Gerard M. Lyon, Bernard C.
Lyon, and Mary E. Lyon, who claim
that the infant was a product of an un
lawful marriage - between Austin D.
Moore and Carrie Maynard, In New Jer
sey, while Elizabeth Howe Moore, from
whom he had been divorced, and during
whose lifetime he was forbidden to marry
was still living. Justice Gilbert at first
adopted this view, and decided that the
child was illegitimate, but when the
Court of A ppeals decided that a marriage,
which was legal where It was performeuV
was legal lu this State, the Justice con
formed his decision to that. The heirs,
it is believed, will appeal.
Austin D. Moore was married four
times to two women. After he was di
vorced from his first wife he remarried
her, and she had the second marriage
annulled. Then he married Carrie May
nard in New Jersey, and after the death
of his first wife, his son having t)e2n
born in the meantime, he married her a
second time. He had property valued at
$100,000, which was held In trust by his
father's executor. In his lifetime he
spent the Interest and tried in vain to
get the principal. iVeiti York Sun.
A Mysterious Baby.
Shortly after nine o'clock on Monday
night a rap at the door of Uriah Gar
man's residence on Pennsylvania ave
nue, was answered by Mr. Garman's
mother. On opening the door Mrs.
Garman was confronted by a lady in
black. The woman had "a baby in her
arms, and thrusting It Into Mrs, Gar
man's arms together with a bottle and
other articles that accompany such a
household adornment, she said: "Take
it I am going now." The lady in black
then jumped Into an omnibus In waiting
and was driven to the depot, where she
left on a late train. The household of
the Garmans was mystified, but the
"cherub," a healthy boy about three
months old, is properly cared for. The
mysterious woman is described as being
small of stature, well dressed and In deep
mourning. While at the house she threw
her vail back, revealing an attractive
and pretty face. She appeared to be a
woman about thirty years of age, or
perhaps younger. llarrisburg Pa'riot.
Why a Woman Changed Her Mind.
Mrs. Marter was deserted by her hus
band three years ago. He went to Hali
fax and practised dentistry. She lived
in Boston, in straitened circumstances,
until the recent death of an uncle made
her very rich. Then she thought that,
with so much money as an attraction,
she might reclaim her husband, whom
she had not ceased tcrtove. But first she
went secretly to Halifax, and there
watched him. She found that he was In
love with a girl employed in his office,
and was wholly untrue to his wife.
Therefore, instead of enriching, she Is
prosecuting him.
The Story of a Slipper. .
A Philadelphia burglar murdered the
man who confronted him at work, and
was himself fired upon ; but he escaped,
and for a time the police were unable to
get any clue to his Identity. At length
a detective, rummaging in the residence
of a professional thief, found a boot
without a mate. Continuing the search,
he came upon a single slipper for the
opposite foot. He at once guessed that
the owner was the guilty burglar, and
that,' being wounded in one foot, he had
discarded a boot. This led to the arrest
of the murderer.

New York, Dec. 13. Owing to au
unforseen hitch in the new criminal

dered Williams in Ring Slfig, cannot be

crime till he has served his original sen
tence. Mongano has a sentence of

JOHN B. ALDEN, Manager.
Messrs. Thayer, Merrlam & Co., 781 Arch
street, have just published "Wheeler's Ana
lysis of the Bible being a summary of Old
and New Testament history." The book Is
octavo, printed in clear type, on white water
marked paper, with wide margins for annota
tions, and Is bound In good style with orna
mented cover. The contents of the book range
from chronological to exegetlcal. In concise
wording It Ornt tells the boundaries, the pro-'
gress, the politics of the Jewish nation and Its
neighbors then taking up the Bible books, in
their Bible order, the laws, the customs, the
governments of the chosen people are epitom
ized in short paragraphs i events are related
side by side with contemporaneous vents-asynchronous
so that there is a constant temp
tation in this new light of contemporary histo
ry to read afresh the exact Bible text of what
occurred j and save the episode of Ruth, and
the glossary of the poetical books of the Old
Testament, this continuous narrative Is main
tained throughout the volume. Where the last
prophecy ends, the historical account still goes
along as told by Josephus and others nntll the
New Testament times come. In the New Tes
tament analysts this barmonv of arrangement
is very strongly presented. From the birth of
our lord throughout ills llle as lie goes from
place to place the analysis follows Illm.
Treated In this way the sermons and Journey
Ings of the Saviour acquire a peculiar Interest.
Re-read In this light the Sermon on the Mount
becomes clear as the porfect law of spiritual
living ; the table-talk on the night of Betrayal
an encompassing assurance of security. As
He passes from city to city we catch glimpses
of,; Ills unresting zeal always going, going
teaching and healing. The Apostolic doings
and epistles are la like manner Invested with
fresh beauty. Yet this easy, connected state
ment Is but one or the books charms. The
foot-notes on subjects of interest are abundant,
and present the latest researches aud dlscoy
erios in Bible lands) manifold illustrations Il
luminate the text, oftentimes vividly i exami
nation questions which, thoroughly mastered,
would tnnrougniy ground a student in all mat
ters of Old Testament lore tables of chro
nology i and, lastly, an appendix of which
every page is a surprising tuiue of knowledge.
The book is one of value to every Bible stu
dent) lias tills exceeding worth that by ar
ranging continuously the facts of the Bible,
the thread of story which began at Edoo aud
ended with the vision ot ratinos Isle, Is un
broken In Its telling.
Attention Is called to the advertisement In
auother column, and would say that no better
book can be put la tue bands of young or old.
