31 urdoroHK Assault IJpoa Pres
ident Garfield.
From the dailies which have
reached us since the tragic event of
of Saturday morning wo gather the
following facts. The President was
at the Baltimore and Potomac depot
in Washington, about to take the
train for Long Branch to meet Mrs.
Garfield. An eye witness of the at
tempted assassination states: "I
was coming down Pennsylvania av
enue when I saw a carriage coming
so fast that the horses were running
away, when I saw a man put his
head out of the window and shout,
'faster! faster! faster! damn it, fas
ter!' Hearing this, I thought there
was something wrong, and I ran
after the carriage. When it reached
the depot a man jumped out and en
tered the ladies' room. He had not
been there more than three minutes
when the President arrived, stepped
out of his carriage and entered the
ladies' room. The President, after
passing through the door, was just
turning the corner of a street when
the assassin who was standing on
the left of the door, fired.. The ball
struck the President in the back, and
ho fell forward. I ran into the de
pot and just then the man fired
again, while the President was fall
ing. The moment the president fell
a policeman, who had been standing
at the depot door keeping the way
clear for the President and his party,
grabbed the assassin by the neck,
and as he pulled him out of the de
pot another policeman came to his
assistance. Just after firing the shot
'the assassin exclaimed, 'I have killed
Garfield. Arthur is President. I
am a Stalwart.' While the President
was lying in the ladies' room he was
surrounded by Secretaries, Windom,
James aud Blaine. Mrs. Hunt, Mrs.
Windom and Mrs. James were also
standing near the President. In
three or four minuto3 after the
shooting Dr. Bliss arrived. The
President was then put on a bod aud
carried up stairs, where an examin
ation was made by the doctors.
Gen. Sherman then came and called
an ambulance to carry the President
to tho White House."
The news of tho attempted assas
sination spread like wild fire over
tho city, and when it was said that
though the President was not dead
he was mortally wounded, every
countenance expressed deep sorrow
at the small hope of life for the good
Prosident.
Very tenderly tho President was
carried from the depot to the ambu
lance, and laid on a mattress. Tho
ambulance was then driven to the
White House, and tho President
borne insido, and was followed by
Surgeon General Barnes and Dr.
Bliss (who had attended him from
the first) and other physicians.
THE ARREST.
Benson, ex-chief of the secret ser
vice, who happaned to bo standing
near, heard the shots, rushed to the
assassin, and it is thought throttled
him and threw him to the ground.
The pistol found in the assassin's
hands is a murderous looking wea
pon. It was a five-chambered,
heavy navy revolver of 44-calibro,
and' would make a hole as large as
a musket ball. The balls remaining
in it were designed for self defence
or for Blaine. Thoso who stood
near say Gitteau mado a move when
stricken down as if to shoot Blaine.
Tho latter was very calm and col
lected, but intensely pale. Doctors
were summoned by telephone and
telegraph, and after Bliss speedily
appeared upon tho scene there soon
followed him a Bcore of prominent
physicians in the city. Dr. Bliss at
first Baid, "It is a safe wound." Af
ter he had watched the Prosident
for a few moments ho said with
great thoughtfulness, "It is not a
mortal wound." Soon alter that
Colonel Robert Ingersoll was ad
mitted to the room. The President
stretched out his hands and in a very
strong way said, "I am glad you
have come."
Col. Ingersoll said, "are you in
pain?"
The President answered, "I feel a
prickly sensation in my feet."
One of the physicians said that
prickly sensation was not a good
symptom.
THE ASSASSIN.
Charles Gitteau has been more or
less known in Chicago for the past
ten yoars. He was a disreputable
lawyer and generally considered in
sane. He went to New York seven
or eight years ago, and upon his re
turn in 1876, professed to have been
converted and delivered several lec
tures under the auspices of the Y. M.
C. A. He next appeared at the head
of a scheme to buy the Chicago Inter
Ocean and run it on the plan of the
New York Herald, but as he had
neither capital or backing, the mat
ter was soon dropped by him. He
left for Washington several months
ago. He was not a foreigner, but of
French descent. Ho was a tall,
swarthy, ill-natured looking fellow.
As a lawyer be was a defender of
vile women, and never was known
to have had a respectable case. He
waB troubled with hypochondria,
and full of all manner of visions
concerning every imaginable subject.
He was known as a vicious, wild
character.
He has been around Washington
for some time past, and an applicant
for office. It seems that in the con
fusion of the change of administra
tion he had secured, as he sup
posed, the consulship to Marseilles,
but afterwards, Mb utter unfitness
being learned; the appointment was
withheld. He has been hanging
around the department of state, aud
is now remembered to have been
seen lately near the Whito House.
Mrs. Lockwood, at whoso house he
boarded, states that he acted strange
ly at times, and about the middle of
the month when she presented her
bill, he could not pay it. He after
wards left the house and sent her a
note saying he expected a $6,000
position, and would soon pay the
bill. She showed the note to Gen.
Logan, who boarded with her, and
he told her the man was crazy. Up
to June 30, when he registered at
the Riggs house, Gitteau had been
stoppiug for six weeks, with no
baggage but a paper box, at 920
Fulton street.
When arrested Gitteau had a letter
in his band, and wanted the officers
take it to Gen. Sherman.
A COPi' OF THE LETTER.
July 2, 1881. To the White House
The President's tragic death was
a sad necessity, but it will unite the
republican party to save tho repub
lic. Life is a flimsy dream, and it
matters little when ono goes. A
human life is of little value. Dur
ing the war thousands of bravo boys
went down without a tear. I pre
sume the President waB a Christian,
and that he will be happier in para
dise than here. It will bo no worse
for Mrs. Garfield, dear soul, to part
with her husband this way than by
natural death. He is liable to go at
any time, any way. I had no ill
will toward the President. I am a
stalwart of the stalwarts. I was
with Gen. Grant and the rest of our
men in New York during the can
vass. I have some papers for the
press, which I shall leave with By
ron Andrews and his co-journalists
at 1420 New York avenne, where all
reporters can see them. I am now
going to the jail.
(Signed) Charles Gitteau.
the WOUND.
The assassin was within two feet
of the president when he Bhot him.
One shot weut through the right
arm. The other, tho serious one,
entered above the third rib, from
the right; the wound, at last ac
counts, had not been fully probed.
It is supposed that the kidneys are
injured. The pistol found in the
assassin's hand was a murderous
looking weapon, a five-chambered,
Keatly revolver of 44 calibre. It
makes a hole as large as a musket
ball.
wrrn hope and fear
the country has waited upon the
dispatches sent out from Washing
ton, now indicating that the stricken
presidcut had but a short time to
live, and again that tho symptoms
were more favorable. We give the
substance of these, in brief, begin
ning Sunday morning.
JULY 3d
7 a. m. The president had a good
nighty rest and there is now a prob
ability of his recovery.
8 a. m. Tho physicians regard all
his Bymptoms as favorable, and a
more hopeful feeling prevails.
10 a. in. Tho President has been
quietly sleeping much of the time
since 9 a. m., waking a few moments
every half hour. He has not vom
ited since 1 a. m., and is now taking
somo nourishment, for the first time
since his injury. His pulse is 124,
temperature normal, respiration 16.
Dr. BHsb in private conversation
at 12 : 30 p. m., said the condition of
the President was admirable and his
chances for recovery splendid.
3 p. m. The President has slept
a good deal since 1 o'clock, though
occasionally suffering pain in both
feet and ankles. Pulse, 104, respi
ration 18, temperature nearly nor
mal. While tho President is by no
means ont of danger, his symptoms
continue favorable.
3 : 30 p. m. The President is rest
ing well, and his condition is much
improved above that of last even
ing. At thiB time he has been rest
ing since 1 o'clock by half hours.
The physicians think him much im
proved generally.
4:20 p. m. Physicians are now
in consultation and will report soon.
Nothing official is known, though
the President's condition is surely
improved. He has natural passages
of the bowels and bladder, with no
signs of blood. Temperature and
respiration normal ; pulse 104.
MORE UNFAVORABLE.
10 p. m. Condition of the Presi
dent is less favorable, pulse 120,
temperature 100, respiration 20. He

pain in his feet.
TUESDAY.
6 a. m. The president is not

symptoms are more favorable. He
rested quietly the latter part of last
night.
11:30 a.m. Condition still fav
orable. No particulars.
3 p. m. Condition more favor
able. Mending rapidly so far to
day. There is strong hope of his
recovery.
It is quito amusing to learn how
the wise Professors of Astronomy
were taken by surprise at the sud
den appearance of the present comet.
Still more amusing are their com
ments in relation to what comet it is,
and when it made its appearance
before. Judging from the descrip
tions given of it when viewed by
telescope, we should say it is entire
ly a new visitor in sight of this earth.
We do not desire to force our opin
ion .upon the learned Professors of
astronomy, but simply claim that its
appearance as minutely described,
docs not correspond with the de
scription of any comet which has
heretofore appeared iu sight of this
earth ; aud here we leave the prob
lem for the learned to solve, and
hope the next comet that appears
may sooner be observed by the learn
ed and better understood.
The Nation's Grief.
Words cannot fitly express tho
mingled emotion of grief, pain and
solicitude over tho condition of the
republic's chief executive strickeu
down by an assassin's bullet last
Saturday raoruing. Grief, not sim
ply because a man, occupying the
highest official position on earth was
brought in a moment, by the act of
a crazy fool, from the full tide of
manhood to the very verge of the
grave; grief, not simply because his
family might lose a noble-minded
husband and father, and the nation
one of her bravest protectors, one of
her best sous, and one of her most
respected and best beloved chief
magistrate ; not these only, but grief
tha't it is possible for human nature
and human reason to be so warped
as to see evil in that which is only
good; so blinded by selfish egotism
as to assume the functions of state
executioner and murder in cold
blood, without justification of auy
sort, without provocation of the
least degree, without ovon explana
tion, or inducement unless the inco
herent uousonse of his 1 ettcr be (as
it indeed has been) unjustly distort
ed into explanation.
Pain, not simply because in sym
pathy with him who has suffered so
patiently, so heroically, the deed
that may ond his brilliant earthly
career, but pain because the public
mind this day writhes in agony,
however calm it may seem, at tho
specters which involuntarily arise of
secret plots, of treason, of the over
throw of government or order, and
with that the reign of anarchy, the
rule of terror, the despotism and
cruelty of fitful faction.
Solicitude, not only that one lifo
which has been so useful may soon
bo laid low in death, but solicitude
for the welfare of the country over
which ho has presided. It is trite to
say that one man more or less makes
little difference, but such is not the
case. Good men, able and faithful
public servants are needed here,
and their loss is to bo deeply do
plored. The death of our good
president would be felt as a public
calamity in oyery part of the Union,
an irreparable loss. Heaven grant
him yet many years of usefulness to
the country ho has loved so well
and served so nobly.
On the London & Brighton rail
way line on the 28th ult., two men,
Mr. Gould and Mr. Lefroy, alone
occupied a compartment of a first
class carriage, and while thus trav
eling Lefroy murdered his compan
ion, robbed him, it is believed, of a
large sum of monoy, and then threw
his body out of the window into tho
tunnel. The struggle in the car had
been severe, and the body of the
dead man had been stabbed in sev
eral places. The supposed murder
er got off tho train at Crogdon, a
station a few miles out of London.
His faco was wounded and bleeding,
and his clothes torn.
A very severe storm of lightning,
thunder and wind accompanied by
hail, visited Washington City on the
night of tho 27th ult. Somo houses
were blown down, many unroofed,
trees torn up and sowers flooded and
burst. The building formerly Ford's
theatre, in which Lincolu was killed,
was torn in two and tho two halves
blown in different directions. The
Masonic temple was unroofed. Iron
railing and ornaments wero biown
from tho pension office building and
damage done in all parts of the city.
Chas. A. Anchisi, the Italian who
escaped from tho custody of a depu
ty sheriff in New York, while under
arrest charged with embezzlement,
and who under the guise of a secret
service officer of tho treasury de
partment, swindled many persous
iu St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis
and other places, has recently been
arrested in San Francisco. Brooks,
of the secret service division, says
all who suffered by Anchisi's acts
should communicate the fact to Col.
Henry Finlegass, San Francisco.
Theodore Lange, of Chicago, a
reporter on the German papers, was
arrested the other day, and held in
$5,000 bond on a charge of bhack
mail. He had been writing letters
to Mrs. Sophia Schmidt, stating that
if she did not give him a large sum
of money he would expose her for
fraudulently obtaining insurance
policies on the life of her husband
for $22,000 when he was about dead
with consumption. She went by
appointment to meet Lange, and had
a detective near by to arrest him.
Ex -Second Ass't Postmaster
Gen'l Brady demanded the other
day by his counsel a speedy exami
nation in the star-route cases with
which his name is connected. His
application was refused , on the
ground that the testimony is not
ready to go before the grand jury.
Be patient, General, your case will
be reached in due time, and if inno
cent, which the law presumes you
are, will not suffer by a careful
preparation of the testimony to be
sent before the grand jury.
A strike occurred the other day
at Antioch, Ind., amoug the shop
hands at the railroad. Tho strikers
got drunk, refused to let men work
and broke into Brubaker's saloon,
and he fired on the mob, fatally
wounding three and seriously
wounding four others. Mr. Daw
son, a justice of the peace, in trying
to quell the mob, waB riddled with
buckshot and killed. The greatest
excitement prevailed and the mob
threatened to burn the town.
The English railway carriages aro
divided into sections or compart
ments of half a do.oii Beats, and tho
doors of theso sections arc locked
between sections. Several horrible
murders have occurred in this kind
of railroad carriages and that ono
which took place the other day of
T. J. Gould by Lefroy was in this
kind of car. It would be quite im
possible for a murderer to escape
from an Americau car, and certainly
no good place to attempt or commit
a murder.
A report comes from Geneva that
a great earthquake slip is in pro
