were not established in Chicago until much

President of the Board Of Education said:
"'fhere were no evening schools last

steady stream of inquiries are being
made at the consulates, and an ava
lanche OF kilograms from Americans
and Others are being received.
Chicago, July 5.-The Washington
specials say yesterday was the gloomiest
and hottest day Of the year. At noon
his pulse increased rapidly, but the sur
geons said it was only natural, as the
heat of the day had increased also.
The torrid sun did at last go down in
the brazen heavens, but it left the sky a
seething furnace. At O'Clock it was
80, and the heat seemed to advance as
the evening progressed. There was no
air, and the evening change in the
president was far worse, according to
the surgeons. Meanwhile the sufferer
was required to rest altogether upon
his right side and not move, in order
that the liver might be pressed against
the abdomen wall. This constrained
position during the day, with the in
tense heat, made the president toward
evening very restless, and it was
thought possible, was the principal
cause of the more unfayorable symp-
toms, which were apparent at sun
down

time. In the corridor mingled with
crowds were policeman in citizens
dress. Other persons who bear the ap-
pearance of detectives were present and
always hovering about, where 8 or 4
men happened to be engaged in a con-
versation. President French said pre-
cautions were taken by Inspector
Thorne on his own responsibility.
Thorne said be had taken especial care
to protect the hotel because it was a
holiday and time that great excitement
was owing TO the shooting Of the presi-
dent. As the hotel was the central
point, it was desirable to have a num-
Der Of policemen there. Captain
Williams was reticent. The officials
refused likewise to give any explana-
tion Of the mysterious meeting at the
police headquarters the night before.
The hotel men generally could not give
any explanation to the display of police
force and the presence of detectives.
One said however that threats had
been made against Conkling's life and
he desired protection as in case the
president should die the people might
become greatly excited.

Chicago; Griscom Is in his 3Sth day
fasting and has been very uncomfort-
able this morning; he tainted through
having risen too hastily and later in
the day he vomited,. and this evening
he was troubled by the heat. At mid
night however, he has recovered grit,
health and confidence.
London: The newspapers character
ize the attempt on President Garfield Is
life as an abominable crime, which has
deeply moved and saidenned Russia,
and suggests that the epidemic is con-
tageous. The lesson is, that neither
republics nor empires are free from
such attacks. America may count on
the fervent prayers of her friend Rus
sia for the presidents recovery. A

Washington, July 5.-Col. Ainger,
the city postmaster, has the investiga-
tion made to trace the money orders
for Guitteau. Only one order addressed
to Guitteau in his own proper name
could be found, that was sent from
New York city on the 2sth day Of
March by Charles A. Bryan and was
for $26 dollars. The superintendent
of the money order Office remembers
Guitteau distinctly as being in the Of
fee several times of late and thinks he
must have received other orders under
different names. Last night the post
Office officials were positive that
not less than three or four
money orders had been received by
Guitteau the past few weeks, but they
could not then make the investigation
and it was holiday and the clerks hay
ing charge Of the records were absent
Further Investigations to ascer-
tain If any orders were paid him in any
other name were made.
A registered letter came several
weeks ago addressed to Charles Gau-
tier, and it appears it was for Quit
teau.

New York, July 5--Dr. Chas. A.
Teale, q well known expert in cases Of
gun shot wounds, and who was the first
surgeon who attended Abraham Lin
coin the night he was assassinated, re-
naming with him till he died, this
morning said that there were certain
symptoms which usually appear In
serious cases in peritonites. arising
from gun shot wounds, that were absent
in Garfeld's case. In many fatal cases
which come under DR.. Teale's notice'
Inflammation peritonites had set IN py
the end of As hours after the accident.
The temperature rose frequently 70
more than one hundred degrees, and
the presence of ball in the belly was
one of the most serious features of the
present case, although it might ledge
somewhere where its presence would
not excite inflammation. The vital
organs are accommodating, and balls
sometimes find queer lodging places.

Washington, July 5.-Everything
around the white house is more favor
able and cheerful, the president is even
cheerful and talks freely. When asked
about how he felt, he said, "You keep
your heart, I have not lost mine yet -
The wound has begun to adhere and
there is no serious Inflammation; it is
thought the chances favor his ultimate
recovery. Public excitement has
abated and fewer people are about the
gates. Lincoln, James and Rockwell
called at 9:15, and Lincoln read aloud
the first official bulletin, and the listen
ers countenances lighted up as they
shook hands warmly. At 9:45, Mrs.
Garfield sent Mollie a reassuring mes
sage, and spoke hopefully Of recovery.
Arthur suffers much grief and anx-
iety as to the case; receives few, talks
little, and last night shed tears in re-
lating his interview with Mrs. Garfield,
and said fatal termination would be
the greatest calamity that could happen
to the country.

CenIIinx,s Views.

New York, July 5.-Ex-Senator
Conkling on being asked the opinion
of the situation and the way some
newspapers are disposed to treat it said
''The assault upon President Garfield
is an outstanding assault upon the ma
tion. The shot fired by the mad man is
shot fired at all of US, no language
can overstate the enormity of the deed.
There is, however, no occasion for
public apprehension or excitement.
Our fathers foresaw even such dire pos
sibilities and provided for them. The
constitution points out just what shall
be done in just such emergency. The
vice president on the death of the pres
ident instantly succeeds and the gov
ernment goes on as If no change had
occurred.
In this case the vice president is an
upright, brave, able man, abundantly
qualified for the great trust winch
providence may have in store for him.
In his hand, no harm will come to the
public interests, and he is thoroughly
patriotic. To strive to array hostility
or distrust against him at such an hour
is unspeakably wicked and reasonable.
No patriotic man. whatever his poll
tics can do anything now till the shad-
ow passes by, but bear up the hands of
vice president, which this constitution
and law abiding people of the country
will all unite in doing. He will have
prayers for all good men and women.
The assassination, whether by pistol or
newspaper will be stamped out by the
American people with righteous indi-
gent accord. There being no president
of the senate and no speaker of the
house the vice president is the only
safeguard and reliance of the country
against uncertainty and chaos, and lost
indeed to wisdom and virtue must be a
man who would increase the perturba-
tion at such time. Sad and deplor-
able as the case is. it is the glory and
safety of our free institutions that nc
madman's act can reach beyond the in
dividual at whom he aims. The gov.
ernment belongs to the people and will
go on peacefully even in q trial like
this. Grief and horror must pervade
all hearts, meanwhile, as when death
strikes the head of a family. The surviy.
ors must manfully proceed SO that when
the head of the government falls, com.
posure and duty still remain to the ma.
tion and to all its citizens. Mourning
as we all do, each man has his part OF
fortitude and firmness, and the SAINT
sense and wisdom which have led this
people through greater perils, will not
be wanting now. Instead of bitterness
and reasonable columny this is the
time for the American people to culti
vate peace and good will, strengthen
and brighten the links which bind then
together. Civilization will not halt OF
stumble because providence has de
manded one poor creature; nor because
ferocious and atrocious falsehood ha.
for time attempted to bewilder the
public sense.

Guarding Conkling.

New York, July 5.-Mr. Conkling is
deeply moved by the many condemna-
tory opinions of his course as having
led to the malignity and hatred Of the
president. His friends are very uneasy
over the situation. Each entrance to
his hotel in the city IL supplied with
policemen, whereas ordinarily only one
or two are on the sidewalk. Captain
Williams, in citizens dress walked the
main entrance Tor hours at time,
Inspector Thorne stood at the main
entrance most of the day. while Presi-
dent French remained with ConklinR.
Police Commissioners Nichols and Ma
son were also at the hotel part Of the

TRIPLE MURDER.
A Negro Kills Three Children and
Waylays the Father.

A Negro Kills Three Children and
Waylays the Father.
Jacksonville, July 5.-Particulars of
a most horrible triple murder have just
reached here. Sheriff Meckler, Her
nando Co.. who lives some miles from
the court house, having occasion to 60
there on the Goth inst, left his children,
aged eight, eleven and fourteen, alone
with negro named King, to whom be
had been very kind. The fiend shot
and mortally wounded the oldest, then
drove the others to the woods, and shot
the elder dead, and cut the throat OF
the younger and left it for dead also.
He then returned and robbed the house
of what he could carry, and waylaid
Mr.. Meckler, designing to kill him on
his return. A neighbor accompanied
Meckler and the murder was thwarted.
The two wounded children when found
were just able to give an account of the
terrible affair, though one, and perhaps
both are now dead. The assassin wa:
speedily captured, and after confessine
the crime was hung in the presence OF
200 persons, white and colored. He
died sullen and unrepentant.
