ays they left the court house at 2:40
p. , to. When opposite the Holmes
house, D. street and New Jersey av
enue, they met a man on horseback
lie noticed the man because he had
seen the face in the court-roou. Ri -ing
near the van the stranger seemed
anxious to get a look at the prisoner,
out Edelin said to him, "There's
nothing in there for you to see." With
this the horseman turned about and
was seen no more until on First street,
near Capital street. There he rode
up from behind, and as the van turntd
into East Capital street he was on its
right. Dropping behind he peered
through the grating and pushed his
norse quickly to the left ef the van.
Frooi this point and before the officer
could diricjver that be had a
pistol, he hied a shot through the
grating, and then wheeled suddenly
back toward Fust street. The officer
tired at tiim as he turned, and thinks
lie struck him, for he fell forward on
his horse and continued in that posi
tion, riding northward en First street.
Without wailing to inquire about the
condition of the prisoner, the van wa.
started in pursuit of toe horseman,
but time was lost iu turning over cur
tracks on East Capital street, and the
fugitive had to good a start. The
an pursued as fr as K street, down
which the hois'iian nd, but he was
soon lost to sight.
T his occurrence has caused consid
erable excitement in the city. The Star
extra last evening says that n man of
published description was around the
city hall several hours to-day. He said
tie was from Prince George's county,
Va. : that he was an old army mate of
Gen. Garfield's, and he was here to mur
der his assassin. He had intended to do
it yesterday, but had waited until to
day because it was the fiftieth anni
versary of Garfield's birthday. People
thought he was drunk, and to when
he went out of the building, mounted
an old horse and rode off, no particu
lar attention was paid to him.
TIIK DEPUTY MARSHALS STORY.
Perry Carson says: I had s-en
the assailant repeatedly. He came
iaund the City Hall on horseback ye-
terday, but a he did not lollow. I sup
posed that ail was right. To-day
when we drove oil he was there again
and lbde after us to First street.
Then he rode ahead and turned off,
and I had supposed that he had gone
for good. When we readied the de
pot at the corner of New Jersey ave
nue, he roue up oeiunu again, ana
when we turned up First slreet was
quite ci3tf and leaning forward
on his horse, hi head quite
close to rue, ne peered through the I
slats in the door. Juntas we turned
the corner of Fiit and Capital
streets he rode past me and up aionr
the side of the van. 1 leaned around
to see where he was going just as he
placed the pistol at the lower corner
of the second top panel from the
front, but could not Bee what he done
witli the pistol Because of the smoke,
but heaid the horses hoof 8 clatter,
and then another shot was tired by
Edelin. The stranger then dashed out
toward the railroad track and we
made a lively race after him, but the
hill broke us off and he got away
All this time we didn't know whether
Guiteau w as shot or not. No sound
came from the inside, and we conclud
ed that the lest plan was to drive to
the jail at once and we did so. When
I opened the door Guiteau almost
sprann in to my arms. He was stand
ing up holding his right wrist and
said lie had been hit, but didn't think
it was bad. He said: "Mr. Carson, I
desire vou to tell Deputy Marshal
Williams and Detective McElfresh to
double my guard on Monday."
"Ho was the worst frightened man
I evr saw. He was as pale as a
ghost, and faid that he was standing
up when shot.

Guiteau attributed his escape to the
intervention of Deity in his behalf,
and came into court Monday cool
and busy as ever.
His guards were doubled.
The
and
old quarrel . between Scoville
Robinson came up agvin. Robinson
asked to be relieved and discharged
from the case. Guiteau now wants
Robinson to stay in the case. The
court did discharge Robinson, and
as Scoville was addressing the court
Guiteau' broke in:

After a brief pause Guiteau added:
"That's all there is to the malprac

I want it understood that I appear as
mj own counsel here. 1 am au
agent ol the L'eitv, and I expect
Him to take care of me. I think He
lias managed it pretty well so far."
The prosecution shorty after rest
ed their case when the Judge inform
ed Guiteau that he could now be
heard ia his defense. Contrary to
all his previous assertions that he
must and would be heard in his own
defense, he now refused to rise and
address the court, said he had no set

Some Remarks on Court Week.
This -term of Court has been one
of the most important ever held in
Cass County since we have been
here. There have been a large num
ber of cases before the court, some
involving important principles of
law.
There were a greater number of
criminal cases than usual, our coun
ty being one of the most law-abiding
in the state as a rule- Those
brought up and acted upon were of
that nature, however, that does not
reflect on the virtue or intelligence
of our people.
That is to say, the parties indicted
for the principal offences were not of
this county properly, and the indict
ments on whisky cases were such
as have occurred in almost every
county in the 6tate where liquor is
sold under "and since the Slocumb
law went into effect.
It is sufficient to say that the
horse thieves were caught, tried and
punished, and are now in the peni
tentiary, with a promptness not of
ten equaled and seldom excelled,
thanks to our officers, the courts, and
the prosecuting attorney.
The rapist met his fate promptly
and while his sentence seemed mild
to some, and was perhaps lenient for
the offence, yet he was promptly pun
ished, which is and should be the
aim of the law; prompt and sure pun
ishment being the greatest safeguard
to the public wellfare, and we are
proud of our court, ofiicers, and all
in this respect.
Amonir the most Important, cases
tried at this court, this term, where
the Liquor selling cses of Geo. Edg
orton and Grace and Thierolf,
The caso of Edgerton only came up
at the time of our going to press. We
cannot give the details in full as we
would like fer want of space, suffice to
say, that after various motions to de
lay, to quash ar to avoid the main is
sue made by able and acute aitorney.s
the'" case came squarely 'before the
Jurv on Wednesday.
The prosecution was conducted by
Mr. Wodehouse und Mr. Morrison, the
defense by Messrs Stevenson, of Neb.
City: an4 Sinythe of Omaha; The
Jury were as follows;
J. F. Eaten, - James Walker,
John B. Holmee, S. M. Holden,
Wm. Wettincamp, Henry Behrens.
J. II. Burnett, A. B. Taylor,
W. Mickelwait, J. S. nartmann,
Dr. II . Meade, W. Curtis,
The defendant claimed right to sell
under a license of $500 granted by the
Council on 31st of April under the old
law.
The court throw this license out" at
once, and the defense went to me
Jury on the plea of asking double pay
and the injustice of requiring the de
fendant to pay another license of $500
after he had paid one already to the
Council.
Both sides were ably argued, Mr.
Stevenson making all the points ther'o
was in his case, Morrison read the
law points and acting dis't. .Attor
ney Wonehou.io made a re it litt e
speech to the Jury to close up. At
seven o'clock the Jury had not agreed
Later The Jury disagreed and were
finally discharged.
The Jury was supposed to stand
nine to three. The cases of Grace and
Theirolf were'eontiuued.
The charge of Jude Pound seemed
to us so apt and brief, covering the
ground so well we give it in full:

4VTo justify the defendant in sell

first have obtained a license therefor,

thorites of said city.

Caroline B. Buell, of Connecticut, th
corresponding Secretary; Mis. J. K.
Barney, and Mrs. Annnie Wit ten my er,

womanly sympathy with Mrs. Cai field
and the American people in their re

singing "God Sve the Queen." Reso
lutions of regret of Dr. Mason Noble

OXE DAT'S SESSION.
Rap! rap! rap! "The convention will
plejise come to order as speedily as
possible," said Miss Willard, to the
satLering of ladies in the Foundry
Church this morning, after the Ubvo
tional exercises were over. It took
te vend more vigorous raps with tha
Boston gavel to bring the convention
to order, as many little groups of la
dies were loth to put an end to a bnef
season of merry chat and
gossip. When tho convention
was brought into harmony by the sing
ing of a hymn and a prayer by Mrs.
McLoughlin of Boston, the president
introduced a gentleman who wa on
the platform, whom she spoke of as

feet and waved their handkerchiefs
aud then their enthusiasm broke out
into son;,', the hymn. "Our Country "ti3
of Thee" being caught up and sung
with glorious vim. When this unus
ual deui Miatraiion was over the Sena
tor commenced to speak. He spoke
for keaily an hour. He realized, he
said, ti.ai lie was in the presence of
one of the mightiest forces of the
country. In . responding tt their in
vitation, which he considered a cora
uiand. h- could do no more than ex
plain certain measures which shoiiia
be presented iu order that the cause
might prevail not only in this county
but throughout the world. To resaove
intemperance was te stiike down the
frrongest foitress of the enemy of
man. He was not here with anj
choice or preference of measures. I.
was only by prosecution ef ever)
measure that can be adopted that this
movement could succeed. Discuss
ion, he said, is the basis of all intelli
gent act;on. The spread of informa
tion and its analysis were the only
things that could ultimately make the
temperance cause successful. -
HIS TliOPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENMENT.
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic and spirituous liquors was
only one measure of the great combin
ation necessary to success. There was
no use ot talking of statutes until the
whole mass of the community was
convinced of the wrong of intemper
ar.ee.
That form shonld be adopted, he
urged, which was wisest in its juris
diction. Four-fifths of their neigh
feors were not vet coaviuced and were
not prepared to vote for a cunslitu
tior.al amendment prohibiting the
pale and manufacture of liquors. Ma
jorities must be obtained before a rad
ical change can be made in the law of
the land. I here was work to uoin
getting these majorities. The work
to be done cor si6ted in producing a
conviction that such an amendment
should be adopted. - The judges, the
Isgislatujes, the masses of the people
were against them
rl duit't mean to say" said the Sena
tor, "they wotld vvote against the teii
commandments.1 yet 1 believe they
woud if it involved, the . wine cup."
APPLAUSE BT THE LADIES.
Speaking of his prohibition amend
ment, offered in the House in 188
and its introduction at each" congress
since then, "as long as I live he said.
it will be introduced in every Con
gress.
This declaration was met with the
hearty approbation of the convention.
the ladies again rising lo their feet and
waving their handkercniefs their way
of cheering. 'I think it will be in
troduced in the same form" he added,
Taking a page of the "Congressional
Jecord" he read the amenament, sec
tion by section. "I want, you to take
hold of this and put it through, la
dies" he said; "but if it is wrong, 1
anvouto correct it -hrst. Taking
up the articles section by suction, tiie
Senator commented on each. He
thought it would be a grand thing to
begiii the twentieth century with such
a measure. He had been charged with
introducing a temporizing measure, to
rnaka political capital. Great Heavens!
It had onlv bothered him in his state.
The distilled liquors, he thought, per
petrated tiie greatest amount ol evil
If by a national law they should firm
ly seize upou the greatest of the eviis
the most patent and ". easily man-
aged and extirpated it, they would
have accomplished all Hint lie thought
the people. s a nation, would be will
ing now to endi se. lie had made the
distinction against these liquors with
reference to success. If they included
si! malt liquors and lighter forms of
the evils they would have to wait
much lunger. The Senator explained,
at considerable length, the obstacles
sgniiiBt total ' prohibition the great
fight that would be necessary to ac
couoplinh it.
STATE3 RIGHTS. 5
Mrs. Lathrope, of Michigan, asked a
question, as to federal and state power
in raruUtinj; the manufacture of liq
uors. Tho Senator thought every
state had the right to prohibit the sale
and manufacture of liquors in its own
borders. Delicate questions of law r
ipctinff tke exportation of liquors to
other states would arise, and he

A VOICE FROM GF.RMANT.
Mrs. Skeltop. ?he delegate from Ger
many. whf has an nccent, just fetrong
enough to betray her nationality, arose
and began to speak.
"A voice from Germany," said Miss
Wi'a-d.
Mrs Rkelton asked if the amend

then all the Germans would vote for
