WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-At the Jail every
thing is exceedingly quiet and orderly. No
one has been seen in that vicinity except anxi-
GUS journalists, who, hearing the numerous
threats, have kept close watch of the build
ing. Various rumors of lynching have been
in circulation since Gen. Garfield was shot,
but they have amounted to nothing. 1t was
thought that Guiteau would be taken to Long
Branch Immediately after the death of his VIC
tim, for appearance before the cOroner's in
quest, but this is not necessary. Col. Cork
hill says the laws of the district are ample and
cover the case. Guiteau has been informed of
the death of Gen. Garfield and the knowledge
has only added to his fears. He begged the
warden to protect him, which the latter prom
ised to do.
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Steward Crump was found at the White
house early this morning. He was awaiting
information from Long Branch as to the fu-
neral arrangements. He said the house can
be put in complete order for reception of the
president in couple of hours. Should the
remains be brought here the east room is to
be got in complete order, and only a portion
-
cleared ont. Mr.. Crump was much
distressed at the sad news and said he had all
the time the strongest faith that Gen. Garfield
would get well. He continued he was always
so cheerful and had so much nerve. Why, he
used to astonish me at his jokes even while
suffering horribly. Suffer, should say, he
did,. The first week or ten days it was his
feet. He kept saying ooh, nay God, my
feet feel as though millions of needles were

his feet and toes and both hands as hard as I
possibly could, and that seemed the only relief
he could get
The day he was shot and the following SUM-
day morning, just after the big crowd of doc
tors had cleared out, I was alone with the
general and DR.. Bliss. The doctor sat on one
side of the bed and on the other. Gen. Gar
field had hold of DR.. Bliss hand, and turned
his head and asked me if I knew when he first
saw Bliss. told him 1 did not, and he said
he would tell me. He said that when he was.
youngster, he started for the col
lege at Hiram. He had just SIS, a
ten dollar bill in an old black leather pocket
book which was in the breast pocket of his
coat, and the other five dollars in his trousers
pocket. He said he was footing it up the

care to feel every moment or two for the
pocket.book, for the hard earned fifteen dol

After a while he got to thinking
over what college life would be like
and forgot the pocket-book for
some time and when he looked again he. found
il was gone He went back mournfully
through the road, hunting on both sides for
it. After while he came to a house, where
young man was leaning over gate, and who
asked as he came up what he was
hunting for. Garfield explained his loss and
described the property, when the young man
handed it over. The president by this time
was laughing and concluded, "That young
man was Bliss, wasn't it, doctor?" The
doctor laughed and said eyes," and
when Gen. Garfield said, "He saved
me for college," answered eyes,
and maybe if hadn't found your SIS you
wouldn't have been president of the United
States" The president laughed at that and
said if he got well and made any mistakes in
his administration Bliss would have to take
the blame
