admitted to Guiteau's cell informed
him that the grand jury would be in

of Chicago, as such person.

make upon the case or upon the SUR
geons. 1t is to be taken with consider
alton that there aTe SOME parties with
private grievances who will stand ready
to make any hostile criticism from mo-
tlves Of revenge, and that ii is easy, with
the results of the autopsy before them,
for others to declare that this or that
should have been done, and that an
other course of treatment might have
saved the Presidents life. The sur

it must have been to them, to acknowl-

them, however, to say that had they at
once sought for the bullet, the search
would have been profitless, and might
have shortened the patients life, and
that, had they known at any time dur

best efforts could not have effected

The principle Of throwing out sprat
to catch whale is one not altogether
unknown to the business circles of Chi
cago. 1t does not, however, always
succeed so well as on the recent occa-
sion of the Duke of fSutherland's visit to
the United States. His grace during
his stay here, together with his fellow
directors of the London and North
western Railway, was made the guest of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Road, which volunteered to take the
party free to the western slopes of the
Sierres. So long as the route lay on its
own track all went well, but arriving at
Deming, and about to make use Of the
Atlantic and Pacific Road, the latter
company did not care to carry Duke
more than any other man gratui-
tously, and required full fare
for the half.dozen Pullman cars
which composed the train. The A., T.
& S. F. railroad, rather than allow any
hitch TO occur in the travel of the illus
trous voyager, promptly paid the fare
demanded, and conveyed him safely to
San Francisco. So excellent was the
impression made on the duke by the
journey under such favorable auspi-
ces that he promptly invested $1,000,-
600 in the stock of the Atlantic and Pa
cifie-the company which had refused
to giGe him a pass. The stock Of the
Atlantic and Pacific is, moreover, guar
anteed by the Atchinson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, so that the latte
are the real winners, and doubtless have
no reason to regret the investment Of
$4,000 which they made SO purely "on

% Pink Eye In Chicago,

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Pink eye, the
new and mysterious horse disease, is
spreading in this city. 1t first made its
appearance here about ten days ago,
and has spread 80 rapidly that nearly
every large stable in the city is suffer
ing from its rayages. Eight horses in
the fire department are down with it.
The express companies and street car
lines all report animals suffering from
the complaint. The disease first makes
its appearance in, running" at the
eyes, the horse feels dumpish and his
legs swell. After a few days, as q gen
eral thing, the horses recuperate. The
disease often proves fatal.

helpmate of Mrs. Wagner died, and his
remains were buried in Cave Hill Gem.
etery, in the family burying ground.
Time passed swiftly by, and after daily
visits to t... the cemetery Mrs. W.a.r,-SS W.:a ..r,-SS
became convinced that monument
reared over the mound that covered
her deceased helpmate would much
improve the looks of things there
abCuts. SO she had plain marble
shaft erected over the grave. This re-
mained there for some time, and Mrs.
Wagner resolved that she would have
some inscription carved upon the
monument, setting forth the good
qualities Of the deceased, and leaving
some memento of her affection. She
looked around for some one to carve
the inscription, and at length Ferguson
was employed, and he comm enced his
task three days ago. He began work
early in the morning, and during the
day the disconsolate widow came TO the
cemetery to watch the progress of the
work. The stone-cutter was very much
interested in the widow, all the more
from the fact that she had very hand
some face, and he thought it was his
duty 10 console her. He paused fire.
quently between the strokes of his
hammer and offered her words of con-
dolence, at the same time intimating
to her that there was bright page left
in the book Of life for her. By even
ing quite an intimacy was established
between the two, the widow thinking
what nice fellow the stone-cutter was,
and wondering if there was not some
way besides money in which she could
repay him tor his labors. On the other
hand he came to the conclusion that
the most solid comfort he could offer
her was by offering to take the place of
the deceased husband. He returned to
his work the next day, and the widow
also came. Matters were renewed
upon more solid footing than before,
and by night bargain had been made
that the widow was to pay HIM for his
labors by bestowing her hand upon
him, and he was to occupy the place in
her heart left vacant by the death of
her husband. On the third day after
their meeting, yesterday, there was a
quiet wedding and the two were made
one. The inscription on the monu-
ment remains half completed, Just as
he left it on the second day. He will
probably renew his labors on the
eptaph as soon as his honeymoon is
over.

expected that Patsy Devine, the assassin

day, by which Benjamin Ferguson, a
Stone cutter, was united to Mrs. Amelia
Wagner. The story of the courtship
