scarcely as shock. 4 messenger who went
down to Scion this afternoon, where Garneld's
mother and tro sisters live, says the first news

thrown or the train. Immediately on receipt
Of the intelligence, Mrs. n. ]. Larrabce. tho
Presidents sister, with whom the neither had

TrowbridQe, another sister, about quarter of

said: Mother don't worry. think the trouble

piled! No, I fear something is going

her prcscntimcnt to Mrs. rrowbrdEe, adding,

Before Garfield left for Washington In March,
Dir. Larrabec warned him to lnke care Of him
