An Alarming Spread of smal1po

An nAInrming Spread of Smallpox.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The Medical Record for December says "Smallpox seems to be sweep ing over the country from the Atlantic coast westward to an extent not before observed during the present decade. The health re- ports indicate that almost every city and country village throughout New England and the Middle States is infected, while from Chicago west the alarm is quite general. The mild weather so far has been favorable, but with the coming month there is reason to ap- prehend serious trouble. It is estimated that 30 per cent. of the 400,O 900 emigrants who landed here in 1881 are susceptible to the in fectious smallpox. The 2,0OO cases in Chi cago this year were almost entirely confined to this incoming class ''

Father McCarthy's sAssaiIant-Lodged in
 Greenfield JaiI-Ihe Wounded Priest
 Past Recovery.
 GREENFIELD, Dec. 6.-David McNIillan, who shot Father Mccarthy, reached Green field at 6:45 tonight in charge of Officer Fitzgerald Fears were entertained of an at tempt on the part of some of the enraged parishioners of Father Mccarthy to lynch the prisoner, and by permission of Assistant Superintendent Turner of the Fitchburg road the train was stopped some one hun dred rods below the depot, and the prisoner with Officer Fitzgerald and another officer was taken into carriage and driven rapidly to the jail. News of this plan had, however, in some way leaked out and the yard before the jail was crowded with people anxious to get at the.prisoner. A committee from the Catholic church was, however, present and assisted the officers in preserving order and guarding the prisoner. The crowd was in earnest and closed around the team with shouts of Pull him out!" Pull him out. :" s'Shoot the villain !'' but the gleaming re- volvers of the officers deterred them from any actual application of force. McMillan was thoroughly frightened and fairly dragged the officer to whom he was handcuffed up the jail steps in his terror lest the crowd should seize him. He will be examined at noon tomorrow at the jail before Trial Justice Thompson on complaint charging him with intent to kill Father Mccarthy, the wounded priest, passed bad night Monday and grew worse to day until late in the afternoon, when his physi- cians gave up hope of his recovery. Should he die before Wednesday noon McMillan will be arraigned on charge of murder.

 Guiteau's Defense CIosed-written aues- tions to be Submitted to President Ar thur.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. G.-In the Guiteau trial
 c. B. Farwell, of Chicago, testified to know ing Guiteau two years ago in Washington, when Guiteau came to him and asked him to
 advance $2OO, 900 for establishing the Inter Oceaas, promising to make witness President of the United States. He thought Guiteau l then was not sane, but as to his power to
 distinguish between right and wrong he | thought there was not irresponsible insanity. MT. Gorham now being present took the
 stand and was given Guiteau's political speech l to look over. Meanwhile Guiteau was per- | mitted to read aloud from his book on stTruth, l" to the amusement of the specta- l tors, Mr. Gorham having at length been asked his opinion of the speech, answered that it was tolerably fair statement of the situation neither remarkable nor ridiculous. Guiteau began to ask him in regard to certain editorials in the Republican last spring. Mir. | Gorham referred to the files for answers and l was sustained Dy Guo cOuHI. AuCA SilA0 mao l consumed by obstreperous and insolent out
 breaks by the prisoner, the most violent of ! which was directed against MT. Scoyille, and
 must have tried that gentleman's temper and | patience severely.
 MT. Scoville regretted that President Ar thur could not be present to-day, and asked if his testimony would be admitted at later
 date, saying he wished to show that Presl- I dent Arthur considered the prisoner insane. | A discussion between counsel here arose, and | Guiteau again interrupted with almost un- bearable insolence. It was suggested by the | prosecution that certain written questions | might be submitted to President Arthur and his written answer accepted, thus obviating
 the necessity of calling the President into court Mr. Scoville acceded to the sugges- tion, but left the impression that the matter
 would be dropped, and then proceeded to read from some of Guiteau's literary efforts.
 John Guiteau took the stand to make cor
 rections and additions to his testimony to show the exact time when he changed his mind as to his brothers sanity.
 MT. Scoville then said that the testimony for the defence was closed, but as he pro
 posed to use the prisoners book in his argu. ment, it was ruled necessary to introduce It now and Gl1iteau was set to reading 1t.
 MT. Scoville interrupted to call MT. B. c. Spitzer, who failed to answer, and the read ing continued with increased rhetorical em
 phasis and loftily rounded points.
