From Globe Noon ETtra Of Saturday.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The city was
thrown into intense excitement this morn
ing, about o'clock, by wild report that
President Garfield had been shot and
killed.
For short time no one could tell what
truth there was in the report, but it was
soon learned that the affair had
occurred at the Baltimore G Ohio depot,
where the President had gone to take
the train to Long Branch. The report
of his death was fortunately not true
though it may ultimately occur.
The excitement is so great and feeling
so intense that it Is next to impossible to
get reliable details, and reports now sent
may be changed by later details.
The President left the White House
about half f-past eight in carriage, ac-
companied by Secretary Blaine, intend
ing to go to Long Branch, where
his family are. Upon arriving at the
depot of the Baltimore & Ohio road, he
started to take the train which was about
leaving, Secretary Blaine walk
ing by his side. There was a
considerable crowd in the depot,
when they were suddenly startled by
the report of two pistol shots, and mo-
ment later the cry went up, "the Presi-
dent is shot!"
The crowd was about equally divided
in rushing toward the assassin and to the
rescue of the President, who fell with a
groan upon the platform.
The President was carried into room
in the depot and all but immediate
friends excluded, while medical aid was
hastily summoned.
DR.. Bliss was first to arrive, and upon a
hasty examination of the wounds pro-
nounced the President not in immed late
danger, the wounds not necessarily eing
mortal.
AS the best means to render medica
aid it was decided to remove the Presi-
dent to the White House, where greater
quiet could be secured. About an hour
and half after the shootin Q
elapsed before the removal took place
Gen, Garfield bearing his sufferings in
the meantime with great fortitude
Stimulants were freely administered to
strengthen him, and the physician searched
for the balls, but at this writing it is re-
ported they have not been found.
The serious wound is near the kidneys,
and it is really impossible to tell what the
result will be.
The first shot was in the arm and is
not dangerous, but the second one may
be fatal though the physicians express
great confidence that it will not be.
The streets about the White House
have been blockaded to secure quiet, and
everything that skill and care can do to
aid the wounded President is being done.
THE ASSASSIN.
As vet no one seems to know the assas-
in or his motive. He is in custody, but,
if the populace could get hold of him he
would be given swift punishment. He
absolutely declines to talk, or even give
his name.
There is a street report that he is lun-
attic, but there Is no certainty that this is
the case There are wild rumors that
the deed is done to avenge Conkling and
place his (Conkling's) friend Arthur in

assassin of President Garfield The
officers refused admittance to the build
ing, stating as reason therefor that
they were acting under instructions re-
ceived from the attorney general, the pur-
port of which were that no one should
be allowed to see the President At first,
indeed, the officers emphatically denied
that the man had been conveyed to Jail,
fearing, it appears, that should
the fact be made known
that he was there the building would be
attacked by mob. Information had
reached them that such movement was
contemplated A large guard composed
Of regulars from the barracks and metro
polltan police force are momentarily ex-
pected to arrive at the jail to be in read
mess to repulse any attack. The state
ment that the assassin is Gitteau was
verified by the officers in charge of the
jail.
AT CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, July 2.-The feeling in
Cincinnati Is one of mingled grief and
rage in reference to the shooting of Pres
ident Garfield. Cooler heads counsel mod
Grafton. Groups gather everywhere and
make the awful topic the outcry against
the leniency of communities towards
crimes against persons as breeding the
spirit Of murder. The hope that the
President will survive, coupled with the
fear that he will not, adds suspense to
the excitement and intensifies it.

the White House, but no credence
is given to this or thousand other flying
reports The crime is so monstrous that
people are 10th to believe that it has any
other source than crazed brain.
1t would be impossible to describe the
excitement here and how difficult it is to
ascertain anything absolutely reliable.
Telegrams are pouring in from all parts
of the country enquiring after the
Pre- sidents' condition and bulletins are
beng sent the country every few minutes.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Chas. Guiteau,
assassin of the President, is Canadian
Frenchman by birth and halls from Chi
cago. He came here in the month of
February with recommendations from
various parties in Illinois to secure the
United States consulshIp to Marseilles,
France. He went in March to the we'll
known boarding house of Mrs. Lock-
wood, formerly Mrs. Rines, 812 Twelfth
street, and tried to secure board. Mrs
Lock wood did not like his appearance
and gave him an out-of-the- way room in
the house in hopes of getting rid of him.
He pretended to know Gen. Logan and
others then boarding there. Mrs. Lock
wood states that he acted strange
ly at the time, at about the
middle of the month, when
she presented him his bill and he could
not pay it, He afterward left the house
saying he was expecting six thousand
dollar position, and would soon paw his
bill. Mrs Lockwo ID showed the note to
Gen. Logan, who said he was crazy
Three weeks ago he met Mrs. Rockford of
Mrs. Lockwood's boarding house, on the
street and requested her not to say any
thing about the bill he owed, as it would
hurt him in his efforts to secure posi-
ton. Mrs. Lockwood says that Guiteau
was great bother to Gen. Logan, so per-
sistent was he in his efforts to secure that
gentleman's efforts in his behalf Since
leaving Mrs Lockwoods house he has
been stopping at various places, never at
any great length Of time, for the reason
that he appeared to have no friends He
told one of the boarders at Mrs. Lock
woods that he expected to be appointed
minister to France, but did not desire il
to be known. Up to the day before yes
