The Garfield Family.

A Pittsburg dispatch says: Col.
Rockwell, Major Swain and Major
Clapp, friends of the late President
Garfield, arrived in the city from
Cleveland last night, and missing con-
nectiOns remained over until this
morning, when they continued their
journey to Washington. In the course
of conversation with reporter of the
Commercial Gazette, Major Swain
said
'We accompanied Mrs Garfield,
Grandma Garfield, the children and
Private Secretary Stanley Brown to
Mentor OIL Tuesday. We were met
at the depot by the RudOlphs, Mrs.
Garfields relatives, and were accom-
panied quietly to the homestead.
When we came in sight of the old fa-
miliar spot Mrs. Garfield was quite
overcome for a moment, but soon re-
covered her composure and entered
the desOlate home. General Garfield's
study remains just as he left it, and
one of the sOrrowing widows first
steps was to 90 TO the room where
she had spent many happy hours.
She is gradually recovering from the
effect of the blow"
RepOrter-Has she made any plans
as yet for the future?
Major Swaim-Mrs. Garfield said it
was too early to indicate where she
will reside, but [ think she will spend
her summer in Mentor in the old
home. In the winter time with her
relatives in Cleveland, where she will
be near her husbands remains, and
part of the time in Williams, Massa-
chusetts, where she will be near the
eldest boys, Harry and Jimmy, while
they are i'll attendance at Williams
College.
Reporter-When will the boys 60
back to college?
Major Swaim-Thcy will leave lOI
Williams College on Friday evening
or Saturday morning of this week.
/ Grandma Garfield in future will make
her home with Mrs. Garfield. Whith-
er the bereaved wife goes the sorrow
ing mother will 90. The aged grand
mother is very frail, and will spend
her last days with the family of heI
/ dead son.
R2pOrter-Major, a statement has
been published that you intend re-
signing your position as Judge-AdvO-
| cate General?
Major Swaim-That statement is
incorrect. shall not tender my res
/ i0natiOn.

What Dorsey Has to Saw.

Senator Dorsey was at Kansas City
the other day, and in response to a
question by the Globe Democrat cor
respondent as to what he knew of the
Star-route frauds, said:
Nothing special-nothing except
that some infamous falsehOods have
been published duplicating me with
them. They come, Of course, from
the PostOfiice Department. / don't
know what grounds they have for inn
plicating me. POstmaster-G General
James and Attorney-General Mac
Veagh know, 1 suppose. didn't AS
sist them very materially in securing
their appointments, you know. In
fact, worked hard for other candi-
dates. Nothing will come of the cas-
es. l don't know whether they will
be dropped or not, but, in any event,
nothing will come of them. No doubt
there has been extravaganza, but none
but what is authorized by law. I do
not know who is held responsible for
the extravaganza. l noticed a tele-
gram in a Kansas City paper the 9TH
er day speaking about the old route
from OjO Caliente to Animas City,
saying it was utterly worthless, and
that it was one of my swindles- Now,
had no interest in this route what
ever. 1t is utterly worthless because
they have built a line of railroad right
over it."

The Electric Light EeIInsed.

st. Louis Republican: The st.
Louis Gaslight company recently re-
ceiVed from London six of the new
Sugg lamps which are now III use
there on the street in front of the
House of Parliament The Sugg
is recent invention, and its use in
London has been successful, though
it is as yet not used except on that
single street, where il comes in
direct competition with the Brush
electric light. Mr.. Socrates Newman,
of the st. Louis Gaslight company,
sent the inventor an order, in answer
to which the lamps were received
They are the first ever brought to
America, and results given by trial
were very satisfactory. The lamps
are of two sizes, $50 and 100 candle
power, the former being about twice
the dimensions Of an ordinary street
lamp. Each contains four burners ar
ranged In a square at distance OF
about three inches one from the oth-
ers. The light is very brilliant, and
Mr.. Newman thinks that with them
gas can more than hold its own
against electricity.
