He was untble to discharge his obligation before he left Washington, and afterward lost trace f his benefactor. He made repeated attempts to discover his whereabout.-, but they were futile.

I HON. J. W. KEIFER, THE NEW SPEAKER. In tbe Republican caucus of the 31 of December, and preliminary to the opening of the Forty seventh Congress, Hon. Joseph V. Keifer wa made the nominee of the Republicans for the poRitloii of Speaker. This wm tho result of sixteen tallotings, in all of which his name led. When Cong res met. two dsjrs later, Mr. Keifer was elected to the office named, having nineteen votes more thai ex Speaker Randall, the Democratic candidate for the position. His remarks before takinz the oath were well received by the House Mr Keifer has a large presence and robust constitution. He is a good speaker, and, It is expected, will prr bide with tact and dignity. (ieneral Jph Warten Keifer is a native of Ohio, bom in Bethel Township, Clark County, January 30, 1 36. His parents were not wealthy, and his education was that of the common schools, supplemented, at the proper time, bv attendance at A u Hoch Csdlege.. I'p to being twenty yearn of age. he worked on a farm near Springfield. O. When twenty-one, he be? an to read law, and was admitted to the bar in 15H. His next step wa to open an office at Springfield, which resulted in a prac ice successful from the beginning. Upon the opening of the Wur and the tirst call far troops, Mr. Ke.ier closed hli offlce and went to the capital of bid State as a volunteer. Tweve days later hi name appeared as Major of the Third Ohio Infantry. Upon the reorganization of the Regiment, as a three years' regiment in June of the same year, he was again made Major. With his troops at Rich Mountain, West Virginia, at Cheat Mountain and Elkwater, all in that same busy year of 1861. the young office' earned the notice and praheof his superi ors. His regiment was ordered to Kentucky, November, IriCl, where promotion was given Major Keifer. la the early part of 18V2 he was gazetted Lieutenant Colonel, and In that rank bore a dicitifcuished part In the campaign under General Mitchell. About Huntfiville and alonit the Mem phis ar.d Charleston Railroad Before the end of the year he bore the rank of Colonel. The later years of the War he served in West Virginia and Virginia as Orxmauder of Brigade. General Keifer was wounded four times during the War, once seriously, at the hatt: yi of the Wilderness, which compelled his return home. Sooner thau was thought advisable by his physicians he rejoined the army, and fought at Opequan. He was among the first to enter Winchester. Mr. Keikr was made a Brevet Brlgadie- General at Cedar Creek, where he fought with distinguished courage. At the close of the War he was made a Brevet Major General. His return to civil life was to begin again at Springfield the practice of law. In 1SG8 and 1969 he served in the Senate of Ohio, and was Commander of the Grand Armrof the Republic in Ohio from lvw to 1870. He has taken other conspicuous positions duilng recent years, among them that of delegate in the Convention which nominated Mr. Hayes for the Piesidency. This is the third of the Congresses to which he has been elected. TUB ASSASSIN'S TBI AX. The Testimony Taken Yesterday Concerntug the Accused Insanity, Special to the 8entinel: Washington, Dec. 14. Gultean has begun to fear violence from the crowd that gathers at the Court room. He hustles around with the agility of a cat. "Well, let's go," he said to a guard to-day, when the time came for adjournment. He doesn't seem to have a desire to linger about after the Court adjourns. Several experts have pronounced him more of a "moral monstrosity" than a lunatic- It Is thought probable by some that the argument may be begun by the latter part of next week, and that a verdict may be reached before the holidays. But this is speculation. To the A ssociated Press. J THE EVIDENCE. Washington, Dec. 14. The crowd about the Criminal Court an hour before the opening was greater than ever before. The first witness was Dr. John L Withrow, of Boston. Guiteau at once called out: "Dr. Withrow is the honored pastor of Park Street Church, Boston, where I used to attend Church when I was there. He is a very fine gentleman." The witness said: The prisoner desired to deliver a lecture in his (witness' Church in answer to Ingersoll, but witness declined to have the Church used for that purpose. Witness observed him during the winter at meetings and social gatherings of the Church. Never saw the least indication of unsoundness of mind, but on the contrary, thought that be possessed unusual shrewdness. Correcting himself, witness added: "I should say cuteness." : Guiteau What's the difference. Doctor? Answer The one means bngbter than the other. Colonel Corkhill And of larger calibre. Guiteau He didn't say that, Corkhill! You must have slept well last night! That's the smartest thing you have said yet. Witness said the prisoner generally took hand in discussions upon whatever subject might be under discussion; that he was always critical and accusative, rather than conciliatory and kiud. Gulte&u-I always spoke to the point; incisive and gritty, that's me. There's no nonsense or romance -in my composition. If there had been I might have gone through the world more smoothly. It i3 very evident to the mind of every one that the sole object of this kind of an examination is to show that I knew the difference between right and wrong, that has nothing whatever to do with this case. The only question is, whether or not my free normal agency was destroyed when it was impelled upon the President.. That's the point, Judge, and it knocks the bottom out of your theory. After a short ause he broke out again, and with increased vehemence: "I am not here to save my neck from the gallows. I am here lor vindication, fur justice, and for right." Judge Cox Well, that will do 1 now susInd your remarks. Guiteau All right. When I get to the Jury I am going to talk to them on this subject. This is just a little incidental speech. Charles A. Bryan, of the New York: Equitable Life Insurance Company. Knew the prisoner in New York. Witness was proceeding to relate circumstances of Guiteau's connection With his company, when the Frisoner indignantly shouted: "Well, now! want to say, right here, that whec a witness comes here and tells what is false, I' shall tell him, 'You are mistaken, sir. That is false. That is a lie, and finally you are a miserable whelp.' That is as far as I shall go. It is equivalent to the bar-room expression, 'go down below ' but 1 don't go that far." 6 , Witness said the prisoner asked a loan on '

the streng' b of a Consulship he was to have. Considered him sane. Henry M Collier, attorney, of New York, took trie stand. 4I remember you. n'r!" shouted Guiteau. "You are the man that put up that 'Hem Id job' on me. Ke p quif, t-ir," turning to Scoville. "I will dis4ise of Ibis man in short oider. He brought suit aaint me to nay over cerium moi:cj , and the Court ruled that I .-bould ki ep'il. That k lis Iiis evidence." The witne-s related an in.-tanceof Guiteau collecting $170 and failing to pay it over. This evidence proved exireiuciy darnag .1 g to the pri.-oner's oft-alerted ciaiiu of having always livcu an uprijrr.t Christian lift .

could not possiblv concentrate bis tbourbts Umi:i the evidence, feeling w ill as he did, and the Court adjourned. k.m ruinations of Witnesses ou the Insanity Question Au Indiana Man uu the Maud The Daily Scene. Washington. Dec. 13. As soon as the Court was called to order Guiteau addressed the Court and said: "I want to make a II tie ticech. It will be a great misfortune if anything should happen to the Jury. They are very honest, inte IIKeut men. and I want the best care takeu of them. There are ome of them who are not accustomed to good, wholesome food, and conseyueutlv they are liable to have indigestion. I waut the Court to order thetn out every moroitig for a walk of four or fire miles before breakfast. I have two or three more little speeches to make, but this will do for the present.'' Judge Cox The Court will attend to the wants of the Jury. Collier was recalled Wituess never detected any tlgnsof Insanity io the prisoner. Scoville began to cross-examine the witness, when Guiteau, in great rage, thouted: "I never saw this man but once in my life, and that was in 1873, and never saw him but five minutes. What does he know about me? ThU shows just how little sense you have got, Cork hill, to put up this man as au expert (to Mr. Scoville), and you havn't got common horse sense, to was the time of this Court In examiuiug his character. He was only a clerk iu a lawyer's office, anyway." Re examined by Colonel Corkhill. Wit ues In my opinion at tho time I knew him he wai perfectly cmpeteut to distinguish between riht and wroug (exception taken by Scoville ) Mr. Scoville asked: "What Is your opinion of the prisoner's ability to distinguish rigtit and wrong at the p.ecent timet" The question was ruled out and another exeeotiou Loted by Scoville. AN INDIANA MAN OX THE STAND. J. M. Justice, a lawyer of Igansport, IndianaMet the prisoner U 1878 The prisoner was selling a book, "The Life of Moody." Guiteau Intefrunted You re mixing me up with tome one else, &ir. The witness continued, but was again interrupted by Guiteau, who shouted: "stop rlht here. Can you identify me as the man?" Witness 1 think I can. Guiteau Cau you swear to it? Witness Yes, I can. Guiteau Well, you are a liar, t.ir. A mi,trable liar. Tnat's the best way to dispose of you. The wüness continuing saiu the prisoner remained in Loganport three weeks felling tbe book. Guiteau continually Interjected abusive com ment-, and finally shouted; "You mberaole whelp, to come la here and make me out a book agent. I was preaching the Gospel, aud sold my own productions." In a few moments be turned to Scoville with intense disgust and said: "Oh. cut that fool short, lie's lying all through. Don't waste time on him." Scoville asked What was the appearance of the prisoner when you kaew him? Answer tie looked about the same as now, except about the eyes. Scoville What was the difference in the expression of the eyes? Answer At that time he had a free expression, now the expression seems suppressed. Guitea I don't think 1 aia much suppressed this r.oruing. It teems to me 1 am pretty lively. Gr.iteau gradually worked himself into a towering rage, a, id declamed against the witness, the prosecution and cranks, whom be claimed threatened him violenc, his billingsgate btiug especially directed against the Prosecuting Attorney. Tiefen in g to Colonel Corkhill hesii: He's get ting too dirty and too stinking to live, aud ihe first thing he knows God Almighty will take him off and send hi n down below. THE FACTION FIGHT AND NEW TESTAMENT. Rev. Rush R, Shippon. pastor of All f-'ouls Church, Washington, boarded al the same horse and occuDied a seat at the same taole with tue prisoner from April last until the day before the murder of the Preoideut, when he, the prisoner, disappeared. The wituess had frequent conversations with the prisoner. Both had lived in Chicago aud formed a basis of conversations w hich lea to quite a familiar acquaintanceship. The pawner was chatty aud polite. A little quick or nervous in utterance, but not sufficiently so to indicate a marked ieculiariiy. Tbe witness never detected anything to lnd.cate insanity. The usual topic oi conversation between himself aud the prisoner at the table were the ConkllngGarfield embroglio aud the New Testament ievision. On no occasion did the prisoner exhibit more excitement thau any other ierson miht. Mrs. Dnumore, formerly wife of Guiteau, then took tbe stand. She wa married to the prisouer in July, I8tis. Scoville objected to the testiraouy, unless the record of proof of divorce was t-hown. The wituess was then withdrawn, Corkhill remarking he would introduce the witne s later, after he obtained the necessary copy of the Court record. ANOTHER SCENE. Dr. Noble, a young physician at the Jail where Guiteau is cou fined, related the particulars of some conversations with the prisoner. At one ftime he asked the prisomr wny he "removed" (using the prison r's term) the President. Ills reply was: "Because I was inspired to do so," and a little after: "If the President should die I will be convinced my inspiration was from the Deitv, but if he should recover I will be in doubt about it." The witness was asked if he considered the prisoner sane, aud replied: "A perfectly sane man, sir,indas bright, quick aud iuteluyeut a man as you would see on a summer day. There Is not the slightest indication of insanity about him. A little impatieDtof restraint at times; a little neivous.asmen iu Disposition would naturally be, but perfectly sane." Mrs. Scoville suddenly rose in her place and said: "Your Honor, 1 would like to ask a question of the witness. I consider it of vital iraporuuee to the case." Guiteau (Impatiently) Now, don't, sister. It's all these people cau do to staud me, without your talking. You are not a lawyer. Mrs. Scoville The quesiiou Is of vital importance. . Scoville I prefer, your Honor, that permission should not be giveu. Havidge Let Mrs. Scoville sugzest the question to her husband, aud we will not object. Mrs. Scoville (solo voce) Well, he don't know how to atik questions, anyway. 8covllle asked if it were possible to place in the prisoner's coffee anything that would make him appear brighter or moie quiet, as the case might be. Guiteau. with a contemptuous expression exclaimed You are examining witness for the other klde, Scoville. I never saw anything so stupid as your manner of cxamlniu witnesses this morning. I think your lecture last uuln must have been too much for you. Mrs. Scoville wrote her question and reached over to band it to her husband, when Guiteau sharply said to her: "Now, you just mind your business, aud attend to your own affairs. You are miking yourself altogether too officious iu this case." Pending the colloquy between Guiteau and his sister, the witness was permitted to depart, much to tbe disappointment of Mrs. Scoville. DAMAGING TESTIMONY. General Joseph S. Reynolds, lawyer, Chicago Knew the piisouer first about Mav. 1K6.. iu Chi cago. Wituess visited the prisoner in Jail twelve days after the assassination. The prisoner asked me, "Where were you on the day of the assassination r Corkhill Did he use the word assassination? Witness - Yes; that is the precise word he used. Witness made memorandum notes of his conversation with the prisoner at this interview to refresh his memory and was allowed to read them. W itness read two or three times, quoting the prisoner's words, and used the word assassination. Corkhill Did he use that term? Wituess He used that word, and never spoke

n reference to anv Divine inspiration at this interview. After this, at subsequent interviews, he always soke of the murder as a "removal" of the President. At this point Guitemi Fhrtr.ted. "Thi man came l'.inieu 11 old f''.. ii 1 ir nii ri.iiMi . when really he was u -tiling b.r n ; y emfi.ned byCoikhill.

Immediately after recess Guiteau announced tnat ne had a UUie speech to nuke, and said: "I suppose 1 bave given l.Ono autographs iluce this trial begun. It Has been suggested that I shall cnarge twenty-live cents fyr them, but 1 decline. Nfc. want money, however, for this trial.

Coloi.el Ci.ikhiil introduced ou evidence the application made by Guiteau ten years ago for a policy iu life Insurance, in whic'a the prisoner answered iu the negative the quesiiou: "lias tnere ever been any insanity lu your family?"

General Reynolds con inued: "At my second interview with the pri-ocer, he wiote an address to the American people, which has since been puonsneu, ami nsiided u to me with the request uare 11 puuusneu. i ii original uralt was then iutroductd, and was read by Colonel Corkhill. wiin cciasionai comments by Guiteau. who fol lowed the reading with the closest attention. hen tie wo xl 'inspiration" was read. Mudee Porter arose and called attention to the fau that tnu was tue first announcement of "inspiration" as the defense for murder, and that it was made ontnemih nay of July, after the prisouer had learned Arthur, Grant. Conkllng and other stalwarts, that he expected would shield him in reality ioatr.el nlra aud abhorred his act. "Its a lie, Mister Bii Mouthed Porter," shoated Vinnum. Scoville protested against this style of argument to the Jury, and demanded Judge Porter should withdraw the remark. Juoe Porter I shall not withdraw one word stall say upon this trial. SOME MORE LETTERS. A number of letters, written by Guiteau since his i' carceration, were read by the District Attorney, and were offered iu evidence to disprove me ineory 01 insanity. Alter me reading concluded, Guiteau turned to the District Attorney and inquired: "Where are the rest of my letters. Corkhill, yu Intercepted? I think the American people ouht to know what a iniseable sneak you are." Scoville questioned tho witness (General Reynolds) uual the hour 01 adjournment. "Huve you always been on good terms with the prisoner?" asked scoville. "Yes," shouted the prisoner, "I always considered him my iersonal friend, and he proved him self a mean, dirty tcouudrel. A nice record vou'll have, Reynolds, to come sneaking into my cell to gei luiormatiou to naug me on: Scoville pressed the witness closely and finally received au answer that the Goverumeut paid his expenses wnue ne was naving these Interviews. Guiteau How much? Scoville (putting out his hand) -You keep quiet. - Gul:eau Well, then, ask him how much he got. You take an Lour to get out of him what I could learn iu ten minutes. Scoviile asked the witness how much he received, and the reply w as cokkhill's reward. Guiteau Three interviews. Well, that's pretty good. About 5 50 a day for lying. That's more than Corkhill earns; but tl en he'll get his reward down below in the next world. The cross-exauiinati n became rather tedious, without eliciting anything new or material, and Guiteau nrotested frequently that the time of the Court should not be wasted by such loose, zigzag couise of talk." Fiually, with great impatience, he shouted: "Oh, a your aunt was your uucle; 'twould be abgilt as sensible as your questions. You are almost as stupid as Corkhill. Come, Your Honor, let's go home."

1 York One 43 and 45 East ANOTHER CR1XK, Who, When Refused a Position In the Postofflce, Wanted to "dnuff Out the Postmaster's Light." I jAboutl :30o'clock Thursday.justafter Postmaster Wildratn had returned to his office from dinner, a mn entered the room and asked for the Postmaster. Mr. Wildman. was engaged in writing a letter and told the man to have a seat The stranger sat down, uu led a large package of letters from his iocket and handed one to the Postmaster, which was from Senator Harrison. The stranger said to the Postmaster, "That letter Is from Senator Harrison, who refuses to give me or even help me get a Government position. Now, I want a position in the Postofhce. I am entitled to it ily mother, who is still living, furnished seven boys for the Army, and it is no more than riebt I should have a position in the Postoffice. My name is Hibben, and my poor old mother resides at South port." The Postmaster says that he thought the tm ii was drinking, but he did not smell of liquor. He replied to Hibben that he was sorry, but there was no place just at present that he could give him. Hibben then said that it made no difference; he did not want the position, but his mother desired that he should secure a place in the Postoffice. After some further conversation Hibben said: "I know more about fiolitics than you, Harrison, Hendricks, or any of the rest of you, and I can teach you a great deal about politics. I have a seven-shooter in my pocket, and I have a great mind to snuff out your light." The Postmaste says this kind of interested him, and as soon as he could, without letting Hibben get the drop on him, he got up from his desk and got hold of a chair and told Hibben to leave the room, which he did. As he was going out of the room he said "That's all right. I will just go down and knock the sand off of Porter's feet." True to his word, he walked directly to the Governor's office and inquired for Governor Porter, the Governor's Private Secretary informed Hibban that the Governor was not in, when Hibba i became quite violent, saying that he had come down for the purpose of knocking the sand off of Porter's feet, and that he intended to do it Finally the gentlemen in the Governor's office ejected Hibban from the room, and tbe matter ended. Governor Porter said to a Sentinel reorter that tbe same man was in to see h m several days since, but as he was bu?y be did not see him. LIFE'S BURDENS Maud Foster, aged about twenty-two years whose home was on Patterson street, between Michigan and North, died from the effectsof a dose of opium Thursday at 11 o'clock. She took the drug night before last about 6 o'clock, and lay down upon a bed, where a companion, named Pud Wilson, a woman who recently attempted suicide, found her an hour later. The latter at once forced the unconscious girl to her feet, and by a great effort managed together to the City Hospital, a few squares distant Emetics were given, and by tbe exertions of the physicians she was finally restored to consciousness aud kept walking by the attendants until 4 o'clock in the morning. At this time she appeared almost as bright and well as ever, and upon being told she had been near Death's door, she laughingly said she would notagain attempt suicide. She said she was tired of living, as she had so much trouble, and bought fifteen cento worth of opium at Lambert's drug store on Blake street, all of which she took, having been prompted to the action by the previous attempt of the Wilson woman. She expressed a desire to go home, in which her companion joined, and finally they went off together, against the advice of the Hospital doctors, who thought she had best stay till morning. She was advised to keep awake at tbe risk of her life. At half-past 10 o'clock yesterday word wassent to the Hospital that the girl was dying, and when the physician arrived shortly afterward she was dead. She had been in good spirits until an hour before her death, when she went to bed with fatal result It is not believed she took a second quantity of the poison. The body was taken to Planner & hommown's and will be in terred to-day. Tbe Coroner will beein an inquest to-morrow. Burglars In Limbo.

Washington Street recovered. Officers Garber and Crane, two of the most efficient on tbe force, were detailed to find the thieves, and did so in a neat manner. The men. after perpe ratine the robbery, attempted to cell the , clothing at a house of ill fame, but not suc ceeding left it at a saloon over night I They called for tbe "swag" vesterdav morn ing at 7 o'clock, and were met by the officers, who were lying in wait for them. Later in the day Williams pleaded guilty to burglary and grand larceny in the Criminal Court, bis partner entering an opposite plea. A HEAVY ROBBERY. : For a few days past sneak thieves have been making things quite lively in this eection of the country, but the police have also been quite active and have had the good fortune of landing several of the lightfingered gentry behind tbe bars. On Mon- . day, Henry Itugenstine, residing at 105 Coburn street drew from bank $1,100 for the purpose of buying a piece of property, but on second consideration he decided not to purchase i the property, and be put the money and a check for $.100 in a bureau drawer, intending to pet it in bank to-day. Yesterday afternoon his wife and family went out for about half an bour, during which time burglars broke open a win. dow in a back room in the house, securing the above amount of money and jewelry valued at $100. There is no clue to the thieves. More Stolen Goods. Captain Nicholson and Officer Stewart yesterday received from the canal another large lot of goods which bad been stolen from some of tbe dry goods stores. The officers are of tbe opinion that these goods were stolen by the two s-hopl if ters who were arrested on Monday, and that their friends, becoming afraid of being discovered, threw the booty in the canal. One Death in Two Months. Out of twenty-six cases of typhoid fever at the City Hospital, the first death occurred Wednesday nuht, the victim being a woman named Hamblen, tbe wife of a traveling man. She was almost past any chance of recovery when taken there. It was the first death from any cause during the past two months. ENGLAND. Loxdox, Dec, 13. The Standard, in a leading article on Blaine's instructions, sent to the American Minister at Lima, says: 'It may be absurd, but it is carrying the Monroe doctrine to its legitimate conclusion to assume, by and by, that we shall see representatives deputed from Washington to control the relations of. the Emperor of Brazil with European iowers, and tbe savages of Patagonia invoking tbe aid of a United States Commission to! compose their differences. What is the temper of the Cabinet at the present moment we can only infer from the growth of Chauvinist sentiment which h confused the discussion of the canal question. As to Peru it is not wholly, perhaps, a matter of sentiment. It is true Dlaine has resigned, and Americans will have no longer to admire the glowing periods in which he has maintained the pretensions of his country, but American diplomacy is uniform. It will be much the same Wnether the dispatches are penned by Frelinghuysen or Blaine. It is not Improbable that President Arthur may soon announce that peace is restored, aud a new protectorate by the United States established. ' The Pall Mall Gazette says: 'The imprei sion cr ated by Blaine's dispatch is undoubtedly bad, and it would have been much worse if the author wa still intrusted with the direction of the foreign policy of the United States. We feel no apprehension that the attitude Hurlbut assumed at Lima will be persisted in by the CommLsioner who superseded him. The American people have too much to do nearer home to set up as adjudicators among the South American Republics. If any European Power were to interfere the circumstances would be altered."
