GUITEAU's SKETCH OF HIS LIFE
Some of the Letters and Postal Cards
Which Are Addressed to Him.

Some of the Letters and Postal Cards
Which Are Addressed to Him.
Guiteau has been engaged in writing up
his life, which he says will make book OF
500 pages and the episode of yesterday
morning seems not to have interfered
greatly with his work. In the pages he
wrote yesterday, and which were handed
to the officer, he speaks of the late
President Garfield" and writes of Mr.. Ar
thur as president Of tho United States"
This impression ho has doubtless got from
the guards, having been doubled and tho
general aspect of affairs about the Jail.
The mail for the assassin is about equal
to that of a member of Congress. There
has recently accumulated half peck of
postal cards and letters. So many come
it is suspected the parties take this
means of advertising their business. ex-
pecting their communications will be
made public through tho papers. Among
the postal cards received one pOstmarked
Springfield, o., reads as follows:
"Charles Guitcau, | will give you $500
per night to lecture after you have served
eight years in Dry TOrtugas 3? Will adver-
tise you as the Great Unhung, but will not
be responsible for the caprices of Judge
LYNCH
Another from Corsicana, Texas, is as
follows:
"Charlie, you hard-heartcd old villain,
l wish you to come to Texas and try your
hand on an old fOgy we have here. 1t
would be doing little good for the evil
you have done to an innocent man.
Another from VinceDnes, Ind, has pen
picture representing a hanging bee with
the following:
"Lo, Eureka! Bang goes the trap, and
you 90 to h-lv ~
Another represents q steam engine, so
geared as to pull Guiteau, with ropes at
tached to hands and feet Guiteau is rep.
resented as crying: "Stalwarts," help,
and ON it is written:
"You have no board bill now, and sup
pose you are happy
Tho devil is represented with a barrel
ready inscribed, patiently waiting, "I'm
coming" Another has coffin inscribed,
Sacred to the memory of G. J. G., as
sassiu and vlllain,' under which is,
Charles J. Guiteau's proper resting
place." Another from i" Birthstone quar-
ries, 18th August" is as follows:
"Comrade Guiteau, my heart swells
with emotion when witness tho persecu-
tiOn you arc compelled to endure. You
did my bidding nobly and, verify, you
shall have your reward, such only as l am
accustomed to bestow upon my faithful
agents. Should you need anything
further to render your present condition
more endurable, will send seven legions
of little black angels armed with red-hot
pincers to make it pleasant for you.
Yours until death, when we will have a
happy reunion. SATAN" y
A card from Mrs. F. NJ. Scoville in
Chicago was received by Warden Crocker.
She wrote to inquire about him, saying
that the papers had ceased to speak Of
him. This postal-card was shown to
Guiteau by General CrOcker. Guiteau
said it was genuine, and added "Inform
my sister that am we'll and am praying
daily for the recovery Of the president,
and that regret my deed. Don't let her
know of the occurrence of this morning,
as that is past and is of no consequence"

Wills PrObeted.

The will of John S. Gable has been en-
tered for probate at the registers Office.
1t varies slightly from the report made re-
garding it few days ago. The tcstator

ton shall have a home in his family as
long as she lives and if she chooses to
withdraw, directs his executors to pay her
annually the interest of $1,000. To his
wife he bequeaths absolutely ono third of
his estate. The balance of his estate he
divides into seven equal shares. which he
leaves in trust for his seven children, who
arc to lie paid the interest arising from the
same annually. Edwin Sheafier is ap-
pointed trustee for Thomas and Sample
Gable, who are to be paid $3.50 per year
during the five years within which the cx-
ecutOrs arc to settle up the estate. Mrs.
Gable is appointed trustee for Mrs. Fend-
rich (Mr. Cables daughter), from-whose
portion is deducted the amount of the
judgment recovered by Mr.. Gable against
Mr.. Fendrich. Mrs. Gable is also ap-
pointed trustee for her own two daughters.
Miss Elmira Gable is appointed trustee
for Miss Rose Gable, ard Rose is ap-
pointed trustee for Elmira. Should any
Of the heirs die without issue their por-
tiOn revcrts to the estate. If they leave
issue their portion descends to them. The
executors are given discretionary power to
sell such portions Of the estate as they
may think advisable.

DISASTER ON THE RAIL.


Several Lives Lost ON . Texas Road.
GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 19.-Further
particulars of the Narrow Gauge accident
show that when the engine flew the track
the engineer whistled on brakes, and gave
the danger signals. Those who understood
the signal commenced jumping off the cars
but before dozen had reached the ground
the crash came, and the engine was
crowded on its side in an en-
bankment, and the two coaches were
jammed together. Willie David was
crushed between the cars, and died in ten
minutes. Joe. Barush had both legs shat
tered and a CHASTITY cut he lived four
hours. Robert Brooks was knocked down.
but not seriously injured. The engineer
and fireman remained on the engine until
it turned over, when they were buried with
wood from the tender. The coupling be-
tween the tender and first Car gave away,
thus saving the entire train from destruc-
ton. The parties killed and wounded were
on the platform, between the cars
when the crash came.
