MR. KELLEY’S BAD MEMORY. One of the peculiarities of the Republican statesmen, who have too long governed this country, is a bad memory for facts affectingthemselves All the Credit Mobilier patriots were afflicted in that way. A bitter personal episode occurred in the debate upon the Legislative bill on the item relating to the internal revenue, between Mr. White of Kentucky and Mr. Kelley of Pennsylvania. In the course of an apology to the House for violent language, Mr. Kelley said: “Until this time my reputation for honesty and fair dealing, for fidelity to the business of this House, has been unchallenged.” Mr. Kelley appeared before the Credit Mobilier Committee Jan. 16, 1873, and made a long statement, evidently intended to confuse the public mind about his connection with that scandalous job. The substance of it is as follows: "During that time, nor subsequently, have 1 received, directly or indirectly, any money, stock, or bonds as dividends at the Credit Mobilier, or any interest in stock of Union Pacific railroad or bonds.” The Poland committee, after a full hearing of all the testimony, reported thus: “Mr. William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania: The committee find from the evidence that in the early part of the second session of the Fortieth Congress, and probably in December, 1867, Mr. Ames agreed with Mr. Kelly to sell him ten shares of Credit Mobillier stock at par and in terest from July 1, 1867. Mr. Kelly was not then prepared to pay for the stock, and Mr. Ames agreed to carry the stock for him until he could pay for it. On the 3rd day of January, 1868, there was a dividend of 80 per cent, on Credit Mobilier stock in Union Pacific bonds. Mr. Ames re ceived the bonds as the stock stood in his name, and sold them for 97 per cent, of their face. In June, 1868, there was a cash dividend of 60 per cent., which Mr. Ames also received. Pile proceeds of the bonds sold and the cash dividends received by Mr. Ames amounted to $1,376. The p,r value of the stock and interest there on from the previous July amounted to $1,047; so that, after paying for the stock, there was a balance of dividends due Mr. Kelley 0f5329. On the 23d day of June, 1878. Mr. Ames gave Mr. Kelley a check for that sum on the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, and Mr. Kelley re ceived the money thereon. The committee find that Mr. Kelly then understood that the money he thus received was a balance of dividends due him after paying for the stock.” This was the verdict of Mr. Kelley’s political friends, who gave him the benefit of every doubt. The next case they reported upon was that of Mr. James A. Garfield of Ohio. “The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield, as found by the committee, were identical with the case of Mr. Kelley to the point of therecept on of the check for $329. He agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames received the 80 per cent, dividend in bonds and sold them for 97 per cent., and also received the 60 percent, eash dividend, which together paid the price of the stock and interest, and left a balance of $329. This sum was paid over to Mr. Garfield by ache k on the Serge ant-at Arms, and Mr Garfield then unders ood this sum was the balance of dividends after paying for the stock.” Mr. Garfield had sworn before that committee Jan- 14, 1873: “I never owned, received, or agreed to receive any stock of the Credit Mobilier, or of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any dividend or profits arising from either of them.” This perjury was deliberately committed, as part of an organized plan of the Christain statesman to swear Oakes Ames down, in which Schuyler Colfax and “the rest of them, as Ames contemptuously classified the corruptionists, fully shared. It was made more monstrous in Garfield’s case, because, after having sworn falsely, he visited Ames at the Arlington Hotel, while the investigation was going on, and then and there claimed that he had not received his full share of the Credit Mobilier plunder. He wrote down the figures of his claim, and Ames produced them before the committee. “Dear Hubbell’s” steam Whistle giveth forth no uncertain sound. He informs Mr. Curtis that the assessment of the scrub-women and pageboys is legal and dares him to knock a legal chip off of the shoulder of the Chairman and Treasurer of the Re. publican Congressional Committee. The proposition ro leave the matter to Attorney-General Brewster must make the friends of this gentleman whistle gently to themselves, especially when they look back over the record of his brief term of office. He finds himself part and parcel of an administration devoted to the interests of Don Cameron,likely to be held responsible for the tedious and costly fizzle of the Star route prosecutions, and—having been lauded as a friend ijf reform—about to be used as a safeguard for Hubbell and his partners in the dirty work of blackmailing Federal employers all over the country. The Attorney Generalship pays its Incumbent SB,OOO a year. The practical politicians at the head of the Republican party could afford to pay SBO,OOO for an Attorney-General like Mr. Brewster, whose name and reputation carry off his work much more effectively .than “Laudaulet” Williams’s would do. A< he said the other day, what aie our iriends the civilservice reformers going to do about it? As we take it, the situation is this. Mr. Curtis has comprehend! d thevagrom man Hubbell and bidden him stand. He will not stand; consequently Mr. Curtis had better take no note of him, but lei him go, and presently call the rest of the watch together and resolve that Mr. Hubbell is a knave.

EXECUTED. ine Murderer of Preaiaent dartield Launched into Eternity. lie Hreaka Down Completely on the Scaffold and Weeps Bitterly. SI is Last Prayer DrvoteU to the Abuse of Those Who Convicted Him. ♦ , Life Pronounced Extinct At ter Hanging Fourteen Minutes, Interesting Description ot the Jail in Which Guiteau Was Confined. * — —■ ■' ■■■ "■ “REMOVED.” Tin- AHwawslii l.uunclted. not ‘"ln a Wet tsheet and a Flowing Sea,” but With a Strong Hope and a Broken Week. Washington, June 30.—This day has been looked forward to with so much solicitude by all law abiding citizens, that although a mere wretch is executed, yet it has attracted so much attention that it will be loug remembered. The feeling against Booth was intense, but the long and patient suffering of Garfield aroused the sympathies of the whole world, and the bitterness against Guiteau was intensified in the same degree that Garfield was mourned for. Some say that he was insane, and for that reason ought not be hung; but he might as well die on the scaffold as to be torn to pieces by an infuriated mob —be could not have gone oue hundred yards and lived—die he must. The people all over the country had willed it. But the officers at the jail, where they have watched him closely, say he was not insane, but on the contrary was a very smart man, aud they had one year of observation. A jury of twelve good men decided the same after hearing all the evidence possible that could be produced in his fnvor. The jail is situated near the eastern boundary of the city close to the eastern branch of the Potomac. It faces west on the farthest street running north and south, and is on a line with the eastern part of the congressional cemetery. To the south of it and between that and the cemetery, is the work house and grounds. To the southeast of it are a number of ne it brick dwellings, once occupied by those who had charge of a large powder magazine during the war that was several years ago abandoned. It is an inviting place,for lovely willows fringe the river edge and add a majestic view to it. Guiteau could look in that direction when he occupied the large cell in the southeast corner of the prison. In front is a large open space dotted with a few 1 small frame houses occupied by colored people. But the ground is pretty well occupied to-day, for the attraction centers iu tbs execution of tbe vile assassin who is despised as no one else in the land ever was. Strangers of course desire to see the building if they cannot witness the execution, while many of the citizens are eager with curiosity to see the great crowd and witness the excitement. The jail is built of a yellowish brown s'one, and is as strong as a fort. It would be hard to force an entrance even with a heavy and superioi force. The first room you enter is the general office or waiting room. It is some seventy feet loug from north to south, and perhaps twenty-five wide. A corridor running east leads to the large rotunda, w'hich is seventy-six feat east and west, and some sixty feet north and south. On tbe south of the rotunda is the place designated for those who have committed some grave crime. There are two rows of cells running south from the rotunda. Each one is bounded by a corridor in front and rear. Guiteau in the first place occupied the first cell in the west row, but was changed immediately after Sergeant Mason’s attempt to shoot him. aud was placed in the cell in front on the other side, which was bricked up for his safety. And that is the place where he bad to march from to the scaffold. He had about fifteen feet to gain the rotunda, aud from there to the scaffold is about one hundred and sixty feet. The scaffold stands in the extreme northeast corner of the prison, in a corridor about sixteen feet wide, one hundred feet long, and fifty feet high. It lias a brick floor, and is only used for executions. The scaffold, although a portable one, has not been taken down for two or three years; it was made about four years ago of Georgia pine. It is considered on’b of the best in the country. It is twelve feet square, supported by corner posts six inches souare, with two in the center opposite the trap, an > on which rests the heavy beam above from which the prisoner was l auncher into eternity. It is supported by six diagonal braces, six inches by two on three sides In the center the beam is six by twelve, and tapers to about eight by six. The beam stands eight feet in the clear above the platform, which is gained from tbe south by a flight of fourteen steps. The prisoner faced south. The trap door on which lie stood was sprung by a rope, in a box perltaps four inches square, that was attached to the spring under the trap, and extended in the cell on tbe west side, whielt was darkened to the public by a curtin. At 12:27 the procession to the scaffold started, General Crocker first appearing, accompanied by an offljer, followed by Dr. Hicks, the prisoner, accompanied by guards on either side and four prison officials, following in the rear. The prisoner’s face was of a deathly palor, but his step was firm and no outward sign of nervousness was at this time apparent. The scaffold reached, ti e ascent of the steep steps was quickly made — the prisoner pausing only an instant as the top was reached. At this instant a motion from the warden caused all to uncover and Dr. Hicks

I ofisred an impressive prayer, during | whlpU Guiteau stood unmoved. The la-sver concluded Guiteau read a se'vCtion from the 10th chapter of Matthew, also his last dying prayer, and commenced to chant some verses which he had himself composed, but ere he had sang a complete verse his voice failed him and he broke into a wild sort of grief. He rallied, however, and continued his song. It was a masterly effort on his part tut be proved unequal to the task aud gave way to a burst of grief which for a time completely overcome him. At the conclusion of the chant his legs I were pinioned, the noose carefully adjusted, Dr. Hicks gave his final benediction, and the black cap was quickly drawn over his face. Realizing that the fatal second of time had arrived, Guiteau began shouting “glory I glory! glory!” and at a given signal I the officer stationed in the cell pulled the rope, and the assassin of our martyred president was hurled into eternity, there to render final account to his maker. Washington, June 30.-9:45 a. m., Guiteau was very restless during most of the latter part of the night, not sleeping more than twenty minutes at a time. Towards morning he fell into a sounder sleep from sheer exhaustion. He rose a few minutes after 5, and breakfasted heartily When the cook took his breakfast into the cell Guiteau told him to bring bis dinner in at 11 o’clock promptly. Dr. Hicks, who remained at the jail all night, I was called into the prisoner’s cell soon after he rose, and had a conversation on religious subjects with him. At 8 o’clock Hicks saw the prisoner again, when ; he made request to have Hieks go out i and s;e the scaffold. Guiteau desired him to arrange with the warden to have the trap sprung as soon after 12 o’clock as possible. He also expressed considetable anxiety lest some a, cident should occur, and insisted that Hicks should see that the scaffold and its appurtenances was all in proper condition. After Guiteau had disposed of these matters he read a poem composed by himself, which he calls "Simplicity, or Religious Baby Talk.” After reading it alone he attempted to sing it, but broke down in the effort. Guiteau then talked for some time about his future. He remarked that liis heart was tender. “I don’t think,” he said, “I can go through this ordeal without weeping. Not because of any girat weakue.-s, tor tbe principle in me is strong, but because I am nearer the other world. J hold to the idea that God inspired me.” Guiteau, when he came out into the rotunda, looked calm aud collected, but very pale. His arms were pinioned behind him and he held his head gerect without flinching. He wore a black suit of clothes, and instead of a collar had a handkerchief thrown loosely around his neck. Those who expected sickening or distressing scenes were disappointed. Guiteau walked firmly through the rotunda aud court. He stumbled at one of the steep steps leading up to the scaffold, but recovered himselt immediately. When he began to read his voice was low and firm. He gave the words now and then a sort of sinking tone. Guiteau showed great nervousness an 1 appeared greatly startled when he heard the rattle of musketry on the stone floor of the rotunda. From that moment Guiteau appeared to be thoroughly overcome with emotion. He wept freely and seemed to be in great anguish. The scene in the rotunda while waiting for the prisoner was one long to be remembered. The soldiers were drawn up along one side, the spectators facing them on the other. It was understood that Guiteau was very much depressed and it was expected that his passage to the gallows would present a very distressing eight. The movements of the officers about the jail door were watched with eager attention. After the death warrant was read by the warden, the prisoner become much composed and turning away began to brush his hair. At 12 25 a loud steam whistle was blown at the workhouse, which is near the jail. This whistle usually blows at 12 o’clock, and by it Guiteau was in the habit of gauging the time. The delay to-day was by special arrangement, so that its startling summons might not come before the officers were ready. Two minutes later the iron gates at the end of the corridor clicked, and then Warden Crocker made his appearance, and a moment later the familiar figure of Guiteau was seen. His face was pallid and the muscles about his mouth moved nervously. Other than this, there were no signs of faltering. The procession moved quickly to the scaffold, and Guiteau ascended the somewhat steep steps with as much steadiness as could be expected from a man whose arms were lightly pinioned. At the last step he faltered for a moment, but was assisted by the officers, who walked upon either side. Upon reaching the platform Guiteau was placed immediately behind the drop, facing the front of the scaffold. Captain Coleman stood on his right, Robert Strong upon his leT, and Woodward directly behind him. Jones took position on the north side near the upright beam. Warden Crocker took his position at the southeast corner of the structure. There was a slight delay while the spectators were pushing and jostling through the door leading from the rotunda to the corridor, at the lower end of which the gallows was placed. Guiteau meanwhile gazed upon the crowd, looked up at the beam oyer his head and quickly made a survey of all the dread paraphernalia. As soon as the crowd had gained access General Crocker waved to them to uncover and all heads were bared. Dr. Hicks then prayed in these words: “Father, out of the depths we cry Jo Thee. Hear thou, our supplication for the sake of Jusus Christ. the Savior, who has made full preparation for us. Behold this, Thy servant. We humbly pray Thou will deliver him at this supreme moment of his life. Let Thy bands be upon him, iberate his soul from prison. May he appear before you absolved by Thy great mercy. From the blood of guiltiness deliver; him and us. God have mercy on us, Christ have mercy on us, Lamb of Ged, that takest away the sine of the world, have mercy on us. Amen aud amen.” Daring the prayer Guiteau stood with bowed head. At its conclusion Dr. Hieks opened the Bible and Guiteau, in firm tones said: “I will read a selection from the tenth chapter of Matthew, from the 28th to the 41st verse inclusive.” He then read in a clear, strong voice and with good intonation, showing little if any nervousness. Dr. Hicks then produced the manuscript which was prepared by the prisoner this morning, and held it before him, while Guiteau read. While Dr. Hicks was arranging the manuscript Guiteau exhibited a slight nervousness aud moved several times from one foot to the other. He soon recovered his composure, and looked over the sea of upturned faces, and said: “I am now

g ting to reaa to you my last uyiug prayer.” He then read in a loud tone and with distinct and with deliberate emphasis the following: “Father, now I go to Thee and the Savior. I have finished the work Thou gavest me to do, and I am only too happy to go to Thee. The wor d does not yet appreciate my mission, b>it Thou knowest Thou didst inspire Garfield’s removal, and only good has come from it. This is the best evidence that the inspiration came from Thee, and I have set it forth in my biok that all men may read aud may know, that Tnou, Fattier, didst inspire the act, for which I am murdered This government and nation by this act, I know w ill incur Thy eternal enmity, as did the Jews by the killing of Thy son, my Savior. The retr bution in that case came quick and sharp, and I know Thy divine law of retribution will strike this nation and my murderers iu the same way. The diabolical spirit of this nation, its governme; t and its newspapers toward me will justify Thee in cursing them, and I know that the divine law of retribution is inexorable. I therefore predict that this nation will go down in blood, aud my murderers, from the executive to the haugmau, will go to hell. Thy laws are inexorable, O, Thou Supreme Judge. Woe unto men that violate Thy laws. Only weeping and gnashing of teeth await them. The American press lias a large bill to settle with Thee, Righteous Father, for their vindictiveness iu this matter. Nothing but blood will satisfy them, and now my blood be on them, aud this nation, and its officials. Arthur, tbe president, is a coward and ingrate. His ingratitude to the man that made him and saved his party and land from overthrow, has no parallel in history, but Thou, Righteous Father, Tnou will judge him. Father, Thou knowest me, but the world hath not known me. Farewell, ye men of earth.” At several points he paused and endeavored to impart increased emphasis to his words by the peculiar facial expressions so often observed during the trial when he was angered at something which was said or done He was peculiarly sar astical when hi alluded to President Arthur, and when he declared that this nation would go down in blood. When he had finished reading his prayer he Hgft in j me crowa, anil said, still with a firm voice, "I am now going to read some verses which ase intended to indicate my feelings at the moment of leaving this world. If set to music it may be rendered very effective. The idea is that a child is babbling to his mamma and liis papa. 1 wrote it this morning about 10 o’clock ” He then commenced these verses in a sad and doleful style: I am going to the Lord/, I am so glad; 1 am going to the Lordy, I am so glad ; I am going to the Lordy, Glory hallelujah, Glory hallelujah, lam going to the Lordy; I love the Lord with all my soul, Glory hallelujah. Aud that is the reason I am going to Lordy, Glory hallelujah, G ory hallelujah. 1 am going to the Lordy. Here Guiteau’s voice tailed, aud the prisoner bowing his head on the shoulder of Dr. Hieks broke into a sob, but he rallied a little and went on with his chant: slaved my party and my land. Glory hallelujah. But they have murdered me for it. And that is the re son I am going to the Loray, Glory hallelujah. Glory hallelujah. hallelujah, I am going to the Lordy. Here again his feelings overcame him,and he sobbed pitifully. Still he went on: I wonder What I will do when I get to the Lordy. I guess that I will weep no more when I get to the Lardy, Giory hal elsjahHere there was another interruption caused by sobs and which he was unable to repress. He wept bitterly, aud th--n with quivering lips and mournful tones he went on to finish his ditty: I wonder what I will see Wnen I get to the Lordy; I expect to spte most splendid thlna-’ Beyond all earthly conception when I am with tne Lordy. Glory hallelujah. (Raising his voice to the highest pitch he could command.) Glory hallelujah. 1 am with the Lordy. This closed the chant,and then Rev. Mr. Hicks gave Guiteau his final benediction and farewell, saying: “God, the Father, be with thee and give thee place for evermore.” The attendants then pinioned his legs and carefully adjusted the noose about hii neck. Mr. Strong placed thr black cap over bis head, and as he did so Guiteau called out in loud tones, “Glory, glory, glory.” Instantly tbe spring was touched, the drop fell, and Guiteau swung in the air. The body turned partly around, but there was not the slightest perceptible motion of the limns. When the drop fell a yell was sent up by some persons inside the jail. This was re-echoed outside by a thousand or more of people, who hurrahed lustily. There was a general onslaught by the populace on. the jail door, and the officers were unable to withstand it aud hundreds of people crowded into the office. For at least twenty seconds after the drop fell the body hung motionless. Then there was a slight motion of the shoulders and legs due to muscular contraction. Three minutes after the drop fell the body was lowered to be examined by the physicians. There was a decided action of the heart for fully fourteen minutes, and the pulse fluttered two minutes longer. When the body had hung w ith the feet just touching’the ground for over half an hour, it was lowered into the coffin which was in waiting for it under the scaffold. The physicians decided that the neck had been broken. When the body was lowered the blaek cap was removed and the face exposed. The features were pale and composed about the mouth. There was considerable moisture. After the body had been arranged in the coffin Warden Crocker ascended the steps of the scaffold, and addressing the crowd said that those who desired could view the body. The crowd of spectators was formed in line and passing between the scaffold and the jail viewed th? remains. Some jail officers, two or three physicians, aud Dr. Hicks stood about the coffin. John W. Guiteau joined this company and fanned his dead brothers face to keep away the flies. John W. Guiteau did not go to the scaffold, but stood during tne scene just within the line of officers at the bottom of the steps. When liberty was given to the crowd i to view the body the scaffold was at . once filled with people who curiously examined every joint aud bolt. Mrs. Scoville, after waiting upon the outside of the jail until the execution, did not view the remains this afternoon, and about 2 o’clock returned to the citv.

Just before uoou John W. Guiteau said to a representative of the Associated Press that he felt cheerful so far as his brother was concerned, believing it to be far the better for him to die than to live. He said no one felt keener anguish than he himself that the crime had been committed, which had plunged the nation in grief. He believed, however, that his orother would show himself to be a brave man, and from his own standpoint would vindicate his idea of patriotism. “His life is a wreck and worthless,” said John, “and I think this is the most fitting end to a checkered and insane career.” He believed his brother would die happy and owing to his demented conoition would be forgiven in the next world. He thought his brother would be happier in d?ath than iu life under the circumstance, and if he (John) could he woul 1 not ask to have him reprieved. John was in the same mood after the ex cution. “I believe he was insane,” said John “I predicted just what would happen—that he would go bravely to the gallows. The trial was a farce, and to-day an insa ie man was executed. Whether he was insane before the deed I do not know. Still I believe if he was tried agaiu he would be convicted. It was not a question for a jury.” the autopsy. The physicians who performed the autopsy were Drs. D. S. Lamb, J. F. Hartigan and Z. T. Sauers. In addition to these physicians there were present Drs. Bliss and son, Drs. Nolde Young, Robert Reyburn, A. E. McDonald, Johnson Elliott, A. H. Mekim, P. J. Murphy, Charles H. Nicholas, Burgeon-General Batnes, of the army; Surgeon General Wales, of the navy; Drs. W. A. Gadding, A. H. Wilmer and Clarke Patterson, of St. Elizabeth’s asylum; Dr. D. C. Patterson, coroner of the district; C. A. Kleinschmidt, J. R. Hagner, and Drs. Birdsall and Parish. John W. Guiteau and Rev. Mr. Hicks were present for a short time, bat left the jail before the conclusion of the autopsy and returned to the city. About 3 o'clock a close examiuation of the body showed that Guiteau’s neck was breken, and that the rope had cut deep into the flesh of the neck. A reporter of the associated press was the only newspaper man admitted to tne chapel, where the bodv was beintr.riicoecieu. me cliapel is a spacious apartment, containing only a few benches and table. The coffin was placed on a bench and the body removed, and after having been stripped was laid upon the table, scales aud other appliances for determining the weight and other phenomena of the different parts of the body were placed about on tables. The surg-ons engaged in the autopsy were watched by the other medical gentlemen, who crowded about the table. After an examination of the eyes, the brain was removed and inspected. Dr. A. B. Loring found the left eye completely suffused with blood and 'oth eyes were so indistinct that no opinion could be formed of their condition or expression. Then the body was cut open, and a thorough and complete examiuation made with fr' view of determining all the physiological facts that could be of interest in connection with the case. The brain was found to be in a normal condition and weighed forty-nine ounces. The heart weighed a little over nine ounces and was in a healthy condition, as were all the other internal organs. Dr. Mac Williams, one of the first physicians to leave the room where the autopsy was held, said there was nothing so far as be could see about the brain that was abnormal. Its tveight, according to Dr. Mac Williams was forty-nine and one-half ounces. The general viscera, he said, were in perfect condition. At 3:55 the autopsy was adjourned until this evening, when the brain will be taken to the •nedical museum on' Tenth street, where a more minute and critical examination will be made. The physicians were disinclined to go into the details in regard to the results thus far reached. Dr. Hartigan left thejall soon after 4 o'clock, taking with him Guiteau’s brain. Dr. Godding, who has maintained that Guiteau was insane, said when asked what the result of the autopsy was, “I have nothing to say now.” Another physician remarked, “We are all know nothings. ’ A bystander replied: "So the uneducated, non-expert public thought at the time of the other autopsy.” All the physicians agree that there were lymphae in the brain and hardening of the dura mater. None of them care to express a positive opinion until after tbe examination shall have been completed. Dr. Bliss said there was many points showing a good, healthy mental and physical development. Dr. Hartigan, who had charge of Guiteau’s brain, took it at 4:30 to the army and medical museum, where in a room set apart for photographic purposes a number of surgeons and phys- i icans had assembled to continue the > autopsy. Among those present were Drs. Nichols and McDonald, of New York, and Drs. Lamb, Loring, Powers, Reyburn, Elliott and Godding, of Washington, The direction of operations was by unanimous consent given to Dr. Lamb. It has been the intention of the surgeons to begin by making a plaster cast of the brain, with a view to permanent preservation in that form of its configuration and external characteristics, but the organ was found to be so soft and yielding as to" render this impracticable. A resort was therefore bad to photography. On account of the lateness of the hour aud of the dull and overcast sky, the preparations were necessarily hurried, but after placing the brain on a mass of curled hair, such as that used in upholstery, and disposing it in the fotm which it had during life, a number of negatives were taken of it from various points of view, with more or less successful results. The anatomical examination of the brain was then resumed. This examination, tvhich will include a careful microscopical study of the tissues and struc- ! tural characteristics of the organ, will certainly not be finished before I to-morrow afternoon, and may occupy several days. The surgeons and physicians who are participating in the autopsy have pledged themselves not to make public in the meantime any individual conclusions at which they may arrive, in order that the official report when made may have full weight and value as representing the conclusion of alt the examining surgeons. THE ASSASSIN’S WILL. The letter in the nature of a will,by which Guiteau disposes of his body, is as follows: “Washington, June 29, 1882.—T0 the Rev. William W.

Washington, Daviess county, has twenty saloons. ‘‘Sang Digger’s Rest” is a Warrick county settlement. Good kitchen clerks are said to be very scarce about Princeton. Smallpox has disappeared from Jeffersonville and New Albany. The wires of the Carthage and Knightstown telephone lines are up. The Cannelton News has suspended after a career of twenty months. Samuel Wolff, an old citizen of Cass county, was found dead in his bed on : Wednesday morning. Mrs. John Ruby, of New Albany, attempted suicide because her sevenI teen year old boy beat her. Wm. Roudebush, a young man of ; Noblesville, while fishing about foui | miles north of there, was drowned. The army worm has played sad havoc with the barley crops in Edin- | bur:* and thereabouts, many promis- ■ ing fields being almost ruined. Senator Harrison has introduced an ; amendment to the river and harbor ■ bill, appropriating $20,01’0 for a steam dredge for clearing tb« igan City. Henry H. Roberts, of Michigan City, died suddenly. He had held many offices of trust and profit, and among other positions had been mayor of the city two terms. Two chimneys were blown from the county asylum near Indianapolis, last Sunday, and a number of thrirty shad? trees surrounding the building were twisted off. A dwelling and its entire contents, belonging to Solomon Keever, a farmer, a few miles north of Hagerstown, burned the other night, Loss not known; no insurance. Mrs. John Dial, of Plymouth, has just had a piece of glass about an inch in length taken from her foot, where it has been imbedded for a year, giving her very little trouble,jjthough it bad worked its way about two and s half inches from the point where it first entered. A water-spout emptied itself into Tanner's creek, near Guilford, the other day, raising the water six 01 eight feet, and sweeping away fullgro vn trees and large bowlders. II also swept away the railroad bridge, The sky was cloudless at the time. The water soon ran out, leaving the creek as quiet and as harmless as it was before. Joseph Lewis and Frank Fowler, two notorious characters, the other day went to a school house near Bartlettsville, in the northern part of Lawrence county, flourished their revolvers, frightening the children, and told the teacher, Miss Norman, they had come to commit an indecent assault. She escaped out of a back door, and succeeded in reaching a farm house not far off. Reports from all parts of Johnson county agree the wheat crop will be the largest ever harvested. The acreage is forty per cent, greater than last year, the straw unusually thick and the heads large and well filled. The hay is simply immense, the clover being nearly all cut and cured. In some sections the corn, owing to the wet weather, is considerably injured, but will make a good crop on high ground. A dispatch comes from San Antonio, Texas, that a young man named Williams from Terre Haute, was brought there Sunday night from Devil’s River, suffering greatly from a dynamite explosion, that tcre off both arms near the elbows, and mutilated him about the face. Williams says he was fishing with dynamite, throwing it into the water to kill fish by the explosion, when a premature explosion took off both arms. Tom Marr, a prosperous young farmer living two miles south of Attica, took down his shotgun for the purpose of shooting a hawk that had been preying on his chickens. He had loaded the gun, and, while the muzzle was pointed towaids him, was in the act of putting the ramrod in place, when the gun was discharged, the entire load passing into his stomach and out of his right side. When lifted from the ground his entra’s were protruding. It is thought he will not live. John J. C. Schwerin has been a resident of Richmond tor nearly half a century. He came here from Germany. His wife died about a year ago. Although he had reached the ripe age of 73, he felt that it was not good for man to be alone, so he sent across the sea and asertained that a lady whom he had known in childhood, and loved as a school-girl was single. He gave her an invitation to share the joys and sorrows of his remaining years. She accepted the proposition and arrived on Thursday, and the coupie were married the same afternoon. The bride is 64 years of age. Two curious fieaks of lightening are reported. Ebeuezer Morgan, living in the Morgan neighborhood,about nine mile from Jeffersonville, took a pitchfork and a scythe and went to the rear of his residence to cut down some weeds. Lightniag struck the scythe, throwing it from him a distance of twenty yards, and turning the steel blade to a blackened color. Young Morgan was thrown violently to the ground, where he remained in an insensible condition until bis wife resusci.ated him. William Moore, of Veale township Daviess county, was passing through a field with a’hoe on his shoulder, when a stroke of lightning fell au,i| knocked his hoe off his shoulder, and sent him whirling back over three rows of corn.
