A PERSONAL and political friend says that the
President, owing TO all the circumstances con-
nected with the case. has been placed in q posi-
ton where he has Il great deal of feeling in the
matter of the confirmation of Judge Robertson.
He said to q very prominent Republican Friday
that the votes of Senators upon this question
would be test personal and political frienoli-
ness on the part Of members of the United States

DEATH OF COL FORNEY.

Col. John w. Forney died at his home
in Philadelphia on Friday morning last
after brief illness. lie was born at
Lancaster, September 3Oth 1917. He
entered printing office when a boy, and
Tor the remainder of his life was connec.
ted with newspaper work. In 1857 he
founded the Philadelphia Press and to
that journal the best of his editorial
labors were given. He earnestly advo-
Gated the election of James Buchanan
to the Presidency and contributed in no
small degree to the success of the Demo
cratic ticket. Subsequently he opposed
Mr.. Buchanan's administration and there
after served with the Republicans At
the last election he warmly espoused the
cause of Gen. Hancock AT the time of
his death he was editor and proprietor of
the PrOgreSS, a newspaper of more than
ordinary merit. Col. Forney had filled
so important place in the journalistic
and political world that his loss will be
keenly felt. lie possessed rare abilities
both as editor and politician, and was a
man of ripe culture in literature. The
world is poorer for his death and it will
be hard indeed to fill his place. The
funeral took place on Monday afternoon
and the body was inferred in Laurel
Hill Cemetery. The pail bearers were

THE ASSASSIN'S TRIAL.

The evidence given in the trial of Gui-
teau for the past few days has shown his
utter dopravity in the strongest light.
He seems to be utterly destitute of all
moral perceptions and his life has been
one of the most despicable character. He
grows more insOlent every day and not
only interrupts witnesses and counsel
but is soutrageously abusive His brother.
John W, Guiteau, has had more or less
TO say,and there have been several family
quarrels. Rev. DR.. II. s. Macarthur,
pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church,
New York, testified as to the disreputa-
Bile character of the assassin, who had
been guilty of every imaginable of
fence against decency, Guiteau was
very noisy and impudent The trial was
adjourned from Friday until Monday.
DIR. Edward &, Spitzka testified on Mon
day that Guteau was insaLe, but the
cross examination was so searching as to
do away with the effect of the testimony.
Guiteau was exceedingly eXasperated
and paid no heed to the rebukes of the
court, 1t is becoming quite apparent
that the assassin is perfectly sane and is
playing part to influence the Jury, cou-
pied with desire to keep himself be
fore the public In the court room on
Monday some person called out ''shoot
him" Warden Crocker has received re-
Gently Il number of anonymous letters
advising him to remove the prisoners
from the wing of the Jail in which Gui-
teau is confined, so that in the event of
dynamite explosion no lives except
that of Guiteau will be endangered
On Tuesday DR.. Spitzka was again on
the stand, but his testimony was not i'm
pOrtant. DR. Fordyce Barker of New
York testified that he believed Guiteau
was sane. Samuel b. Phelps, broker
of New York, was the next witness and
was outrageously insulted by the assas
sin. Guiteau's behavior grows worse
daily.
On Wednesday Rev. j. J.. Withrow
ID. d., Charles A. Bryan and Henry NJ.
Collier were WITNESSES Their testimony
was damaging to the character Of
Guteau and he became furiously angry
aud abusive The sickness Of a juror
brought the case to a close for the dav.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDIES.
rwO FIRES BY WHICH HUNDREDS or LIVES
WERE iDsr--snOCkING MisMNNNGE
MINT.

One of the most frightful disasters
ever chronicled occurred in Vienna on
Thursday evening of last week, when the
Ring Theatre was destroyed by fire and
nearly all those in the building burned
to death. The origin of the fire is not
known but it was probably from the fall
of lamp on the stage. No less than
$50 bodies have been taken from the
ruins and the official list of the missing
is 0l7. There were two or three hun
dred ballet girls upon the stage clad in
light dresses and all of these perishcd.
The scene is described as terrible in the
extreme. The frightened people fought
madly to gain the doors and scores were
trampled to death before the flames
reached them. The stairways were
literally choked with bodies. In one
gallery it is estimated that there were
600 persons, and none of them escaped.
There is great indignation in the city as
investigation has revealed the grossest
bluudering aud mismanagement. The
various doors were locked and the keys
in the pockets Of the cloak room atten-
dants A large iron curtain could have
been let down and the flames shut off
from the auditorium but the man in
charge was absent from his post. The
| firemen did not work for half an hour
after the fire broke out, and the police
with laundering stupidity prevented res
cuers from entering the building by sta
ting that all the audience had escaped
A more disgraceful exhibition of culpa
BILE mismanagement was never seen, and
it Is evident that punishment should be
meted out with unmitigated severity tC
both public officers and theatre employees
1t is probable that the list of the
killed will reach 1000 and perhaps exceed
that number.
Another event equally distressing, ex
cept that fewer lives were lost, occurred
in this country about seven miles from
Pittsburg on Saturday morning last a
rough board shanty had been erected a
place called "Rock Cut" for the accom-
dation of a number of workmen. Th,
second floor was one large room fitted
with hunks and in this some forty work
men were sleeping. Mrs. McCune, the
wife of the man in charge of the shanty
arose at an early hour to get breakfast
and by some means overturned coal OF
lamp. The whole building was almos
instantly ablaze and the flames spreat
with such rapidity that the men up stairs
were unable to dress themselves, bu
struggled to dash through the flames ant
smoke. Eleven men were burned Il
death and three others received injurie
that are considered fatal There was bu
one means of egress from the mem
sleeping room and that was bya rougl
stairway, but this was speedily rendered
impossible. The wounded men wer
placed on train and taken to Pittsbur.
where they were at once carried to tn
West Pennsylvania Hospital. The sigh
at the railroad station is said to hav
been horrible beyond description. Th
dead were buried on Sunday, the bodie
being unrecognizable

Congress has not yet fairly settled
down to work. The House is waiting
for the Speaker to appoint the various
committees, and this it is said will not
be done until after the holidays. The
senate was not in session from Thursday
until Monday. In the Senate on Tues
day the session was devoted to the dis
cussion of Mr. Pendleton's bill to regu-
late the civil service. In the House a
large number of bills were introduced,
among them one to repeal the internal
revenue tax on matches, bank checks,
cigars, snuff and spirits distilled from ap.
pies and other fruits, Before the call
of the States was half completed 756
bills had been referred to committees.

Congressman Strait, of Minnesota, has
received a telegram signed by the post
master, sheriff, and two prominent citi-
zens of st. Peter, saying there was a
woman in that town who was servant
in the family of Mr.. Scoville, Guiteau's
brother-in-law and counsel, last May, aud
that she heard the possible murder Of
General Garfield discussed by members
of the family at that time. Mr.. Strait
placed the telegram in the hands of the
district attorney and vouched for the
responsibility of the persons who had
signed the message. 1t has been pri-
vately reported here for some time that
Guiteau had communicated to the SEQ
vile family his intention to kill the Pres
ident before the I'd of July, when the
murderous shot was fired.
