1NDEsCR1BABLE SCENES.
LONG BRANCH, Sept 19-The scenes around
the West End and Elberon. when the news Of
sc1o
scribable The news was first received from
the telegraph operators ut Elberon. The West
ern Union company sent its agent through the
corridors Of the West End, notifying
everybody he met A dash was made by
tho people for carriages, and In =
moment Ocean avenue was crowded with w.
hicles going at the top OF their speed for the
Elberon. The news was bawled from the car
riases to the few people on the Streets and the
procession of carriages was joined by
crowd Of breathless pedestrians, running
down tho streets as fast a. their legs
could carry them The members of the
cabinet were sitting on the porch Of the West
End, when Mr.. James, assistant superinten-
dent Of the railway mail service, rushed up
and informed them that the president was
dead. Almost at the same time they received
Mr.. MacVeash's message calling them to the
Elberon. Carriages were summoned and they
were driven to their sad destination at break
neck speed. Attorney General Macveagh m ct
them on the piazza Tears were flowing from
Mr.. James eyes, Mr.: Kirkwood was pale
and nervous. He seemed almost Frustrated by
the sad news. Mr.. Hunt was weeping. Secre-
tary Window walked with bowed head and
seemed crushed by the dread Intelligence.
None Of them said word to the crowds Of
people that instantly surrounded them. At a
signal from Mr.. Mcyeagh they stepped of tho
porch into the darkness and walked to the cot
tage; but Mr.. Maoveagh gave the password
and they were allowed to enter
POST MoETEM ExAnNT1oN
Of the president is to be made tomorrow Tho
sheriff Of Monmouth county will demand that
Guiteau to be tried in Monmouth county, whore
hisviotim died. The coroner of this county
who has been notified of the death OF
the president, came here prepared
70 make the request on tho body,
as the president died within the Jurisdiction
Of the coroner. He was willing to accept the
post mortem Of the phyeiciane, but he insisted
that as death had occurred within his jurisdic-
ton, he felt that he must make an independent
investigation. 1t will be made tomorrow
morning, and based upon the post norton
made by Dr.. Bliss, he will make such
report that the governor of New Jersey will
demand the surrender Of Guiteau for trial in
this county. 1t is doubtful, If the demand of
the governor is complied with, if Guiteau will
reach here alive 1t is known that an organi-
cation in Washington exists, sworn to have
Guiteau's life if the president dies; and it he
is removed to this county the assassin may
suffer death much quicker than he anticipates
Freehold is the county seat Of Monmouth, and
there tho assassin will be tried.
