President returns to New York city. His
interview with Mrs. Garfield yesterday was
very agreeable, many circumstances making It
more so than their first after the shooting of
the President.
1t is pretty well settled that for the present, ,
at least, there will be no discrimination made
on account of politics, in the discharges from
the pension office. Over one hundred persons
will be DISMISSED this week, the reduction
being made necessary by the limited appro-

according to present advices, efficiency only
will be considered in selecting the victims. Il
may be said In this connection that the new
commissioner is making several changes in
the Office which promise to be beneficial.

Racing Ahead of a Locomotive.

RHINEcLIFF, N. Y, July IL. : A
crowd of persons at the Hudson River
depot in this city on Saturday afternoon
were Mortified to see a team of horses
racing down the railroad track ahead
of rapidly moving train. A teamster,
to make short cut, had attempted to
cross the track above the depot instead
of at the regular crossing. Just as he
got on the track he heard loud screech
from locomotives whistle, and, turn
ing around, saw a train almost upon
him. He put the whip to his horses,
and when he turned off the track at the
station the locomotive grazed the rear
end of his wagon. 1t was voted the
narrowest escape that crowd had ever
seen.

WASHINGTON, July u. = Secretary
Blaine received in his mail yesterday u
postal card postmarked st. Louis, Mo-,
but without signature, upon. which the
writer stated that he had carefully
watched the reports relative to Presiden t
Garfield and should not be satisfied with
the simple incarceration of Guiteau in
an insane asylum or for term of years

vowed by all that was holy to take
vengeance for the suffering needlessly
caused President Garfield, and to kill
Guiteau himself, which statement he
desired not to be forgotten.

A Merited Retribution.

In Heard county, Ga, a fellow named
Waldrop committed an assault on the
wife of DR.. John Mitchell and then
murdered her. There was no doubt of
his guilt and after two days search by
the friends of the deceased, he was
arrested. That night body of armed
men took him from Jail and led him to
the spot where he committed the crime,
tied him with wires to stake and then
placing pine around him burned him to
death. His screams rang out on the
quiet country air, and the flames lit up
the scene with lurid glare. The death
struggles were horrid, but not a man
stirred. Standing in a circle around the
human sacrifice, they looked with stolid
indifference at the horrid expiation of
lis crime. From first to last the officers
made no effort to save the prisoner for a
legal doom. If they had it would have
been futile, for popular passion was
frenzied. Waldrop was % years old,
and man of good address.

ACooI Robbery.

SIDNEY, Iowa, July 12.--The bank of
Davis & Sexton at Riverton was robbed
of $4,000. Two men rode into the town
about p. M. on horses stolen last night
near Sidney, and hitched the animals
back of the bank. While Mr.. Sexton
was getting money from the safe to
change bill for them they leaped over
the counter, placed revolvers at his head,
took the money, fled to the back door,
and rode deliberately away, inviting the
crowd to follow. A large company is
in pursuit. At the last accounts the
robbers were near the Missouri line, and
the prospect of their capture is good.

Is it a Swindling Concern.

The Standard Oil Company is openly
charged with swindling the public by
marking on their barrels more gallons
than the barrels hold and then putting
from one to four gallons less into bar
rel than it will hold, thus cheating the
merchants out of from four to eight gal
Ions of oil in every barrel. This has
been asserted in the Drug Reporter, and
the publisher of the Bradford Star says
he has tested number of barrels and
found the charges to be true whilst the
barrels of all other dealers tested had
full measure. If the charge is true the
sooner all dealers stop buying the oil
made by this company the better.

SsS- A bee tree was cut down on the lands
of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company
few days ago, when nest of large black
snakes was found in the hollow of the tree
below the bee combs. The bees and snakes
entered through the same hole, which was
located about thirty feet above the ground,
and the fact that the combs of the bees
contained no honey, the supposition is that
their near neighbors had devoured the
fruits of their toll as fast as it was gath
cred.

6 Adams street, Hoboken, on Sunday
evening, the animal scratched her

cat sprang upon her and fastened its
teeth in her nose. The girls mother,
who witnessed the occurrence, seized
the cat, and cutting its head off, washed
the girls face with the blood, in order,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 13, 1881.
Against the opinion of any one else, Guiteau
has held that the first bullet fired by him was
the one which SO seriously wounded the Presi
dent. He was SO near the object of his wrath
and was so perfectly cool, that he could hardly
have missed the exact figure of the President,
but, supposing the President to have swayed
to one side, as Guiteau says he did, after the
first shot, 1t is easy TO see that even well
aimed second bullet might miss the intended
point. The President now agrees with Guiteau
that the first bullet made the serious wound.
The opinion of Senator Blaine, who is said to
have been remarkable cool, during the scene,
would be valuable, but he refuses to talk for
publication. Col. Rockwell, intimate friend of
the President, says the latter, if he RECEIVERS,
would not accept the money now being sub
scribed for him. Neither, 1t is believed. would
Mrs. Garfield in the unhappy event of fatal
result to the Presidents wound. The few
dozens of people who make up this quarter of a
million will doubtless find pleasure in so
doing, and we have no right to question the
motives of any of them. But any necessary
provision for those murdered President
should leave behind him should be made in
such way that the recipients will feel that
all the people united in it, and this can only
be done by acts of Congress, the payment of
the Presidents salary for full term and n
pension for services as commander In chief of
the army, both of which appropriations are
sanctioned by precedent-will answer the
purpose. For the sake of the eminent pro-
prietles of the case, aud because of the desire
of every citizen TO be represented in such case,
this would seem to be the better way of treat
ing the subject.

request of the Cabinet. All the members of

New YORK, July 15.-Word was re-
ceived at police headquarters late this
afternoon that three men had stolen
$4,000 in bills at the Grand Central
Depot and escaped. The robbery, upon
investigation, was found to have been
committed boldly in the open street.
At noon Charles Messersmidt, a clerk
in the, employ of Jacob Rupert, brewer,
drove in light wagon from the brewery
at Ninety second Street and Third
Avenue, down to deposit sum of
money in the Germania and Nassau
Banks. With him in the wagon was
Gustave Akerlon, an office-boy. They
carried $4,000 in bills done up in q
package, and bag filled with silver
dollars. AT Forty seventh Street their
wagon was run into by vender's
wagon, in which three men were seated.
The supposed peddlers sprang from
their wagon, two attacked the clerk,
while the third cut the reins of his
horse. In an instant they had seized
the package of bills, and, jumping back
in their cart, drove furiously down
Lexington Avenue, the bag of silver
falling in the street making their escape.
