1t seems that District Attorney Cork
hill was accredited with statement that
he did not make---viz: that he had knowl-
edge OF conspiracy to kill Guiteau by
slow torture in the event of the Presidents
death. What he did say was that he is in
formed Of the existence Of formidable
organization, the purpose of which is to
make sure that Guiteau shall not escape
punishment, and which does not intend
that he shall ever be taken to an insane
asylum alive. Col. Corkhill adds: ~
don't believe regiment Of soldiers could
prevent them from accomplishing their
purpose" and he is probably right; the in
sane dodge will never work in Guiteaus
case.
Nearly all the streets in the city are
being tested severely by the dirt teams
which are filling Railroad street. The
weather has probably something TO do with
it, the continued extreme heat causing the
road bed to crumble away like saw dust
under the heavy wheels of the wagons. The
street crossings in various parts Of thecity are
especially in need OF repairs. Deep ruts
have been worn on either side of some of
the crossings, which makes driving through
the streets in buggies very disagreeable.
When the work on Railroad street is done
number Of the teams could be used to
good advantage in repairing the damage
they did to the other streets.
MIR. John Welsh, who has been engin-
eer al the Illinois Central Car hoist for
some time died, suddenly at his home
on Twenty. seventh street Yesterday,
morning, at s 80 o'clock. He had not beer
sick at all, but had not been we'll enough
t. work for day or two. Yesterday he
arose from his bed, sat up a sh@rt tipae and
-..onuu ms pipe; but suddenly he arose and
started for the door, when his brother, see
ing that he was not all right, stepped for
ward and caught him just as he was about
to fall to the floor. He expired in his broth
er's arms. He was about forty years of age
and had many friends who will
mourn his unexpected demise. He will
probably be buried today.
Monday evening an accident happened
to two reverend gentlemen who were TAX
ing drive in Father Masterson's buggy.
They were driving lelsurely down Walnut
street, and when they had reached point
just below Seventh street, where some very
irregular filling had been done, the buggy
suddenly turned completely over, throwing
the occupants out in the street,
badly scared, but fortunately, un-
hurt, as the horse, being very gentle
did not attempt to run away. But the
vehicle was badly damaged. The single
tree, the springs, and the top we're broken
and the wheels and some Of the iron were
bent out of shape. Where street filling il
done in manner that will endanger the
lives of persons in vehicles, those doing |,
ought to have sense enough to bar the street
as a warning to the public.
"A gigantic scheme to establish new
city that shall rival Chicago has just come
to light. It appears that powerful New
York syndicate has purchased twenty-five
thousand acres within radius of sixty
square miles at the foot of Lake Michigan
The object is to center number Of tn,
great railroads in this new city, which is +
be known as East Chicago, and build new
lumber yards, stock yards and va
rious other public institutions
to give the city boom from the start
When Il is known that such men as Gould
Vanderbilt, Tilden and others are men
toned in connection with the scheme, il
will not seem 40 unreasonable AT frs
