IT is stated on good authority from
Washington that the medical and SCI
entifc experts who have been sum
moned by Mr.. Scoville to establish Gut
teau's insanity, have been in attendance
on the trial and watched the conduct
of Guiteau long enough to convince
them of his responsibility. When
some of them arrived in the city they
had prejudged the case, deeming the
villain insane, but the proceedings at
the trial have cleared their vision
The most of these experts in the insan
ity b'siness will be of little use to the
assassin.

The republicans have, with Malone,
3S votes in the senate, not counting
Davis of Illinois. The democrats have
81 votes. Senator Davis, in his speech
on Tuesday, settled the question of
committees and left the question of
officers in a tantalizing condition. His
vote with the democrats could not elect
officers, but it will prevent the election
of officers by the republicans.

LIEUT.. FILTER does not make a very
clear explanation of how the shortage
in his accounts occurred. He says the
funds were kept in his trunk, the key
of which was in his possession, and he
believed the money to be there until
the inspection took place and it
was found missing. His servant girl
kept part of her clothing in the trunk,
but had no key and used his occasion
ally for few moments only. He does
not suspect her OF taking the money.

BOWERS IN TROUBLE.


Walter Bowers, . brakeman on the rail.
road, vas arrested on Tuesday, charged with
false pretense and forgery. He obtained
from the postofice a registered letter, con.
taining $500 draft, addressed to Emil Bow.
ers. He had received other letters address.
ed to this name, and it is presumed be had
some knowledge Of the letter containing
the draft. Upon his FIRST application a, the
postofice the delivery Of the letter Wa re-
fused, but he at another time applied and
received the letter from the younger clerk
in the Office. Walter Bowers presented the
check for payment at the store of G. s. En-.
er-on, on Monday, and was told to call the
next day. He had an account st that store
and represented that he had been expecting
the draft for some time, and said the name
of Emil Vas the Sherman" for Walter. He
endorsed the draft with the name of Emil
Bauer" the proprietor of the store at first
not doubling his identity upon the plausible
representations made by the sleek Bowers.
He paid his bill, bought suit of CLOTHES, re-
ceived 500 in cash and the balance in
checks. He purchased two tickets for Kan
sas City, and was intending to take the noon
train for that place, but the train was sever
al hours behind, and in the meantime sus-
picion having gained that Boweu was falee,
he was arrested in the afternoon and placed
in Jail. The money, goods and tickets, ex-
cepting about $40, was recovered. !.
Emil Bowers is in the employ Of Mr..
Taintor, . cattle man. Taiutor was 10 the
city Tuesday, and sent word to Bowers TO
come here, and he arrived this morning.
He seldom calls for mail. and several Letters
to him have been taken out by
Walter Bowers. And the latter having an
acquaintance at the store succee led in estab-
fishing an identity. There will be loss OF
$40 90. The draft was drawn at San Ante
MO, Texas. and made payable al Kansas
City. The pseudo Bowers can ruminate
awhile over this bad break and draw his
iraft on Leayen worth.

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY.

Misfortunes never come sinsly. The Cim-
AKRON New West furnishes the particulars Of
. series Of distressing accidents which befell
the family Of DR.. Merrill, retired physi-
clan, residing six miles northeast OF Garden
City. About two weeks ago, the Doctor,
aged Sc year, was kicked by horse and
had both bones Of his right forearm broken.
The bones were set and splints applied BY
Elder Plat under the Doctors direction. A
week Afterwards the youngest son of the
Doctors, bright boy of thirteen, named
Willie, met with serious accident. In at
tempting 10 withdraw the charge from one
barrel Of his double barreled gun, the other
barrel was accidentally discharged, and Viii
lie received the full charge of shot in the
right hand, wrist and right forearm, produc-
ing Q horrible lacerated wound, as most OF
the flesh WAS stripped from the under sur
face Of the forearm and several shot passed
through the upper arm above the elbow. Dr..
Harris was telegraphed for and dressed the
wound. The boys shirt was set on FIRE and
he received severe burns. DR.. Harris gave
his attention to the old Doctors arm and
found that no union had taken place. He re-
vet the arm and applied splints. A few days
after the fracture Of the Doctors arm, his
wife sell down the cellar and severely sprain-
ed her ankle. DR.. Harris reports that all
IRE doing a. we'll a. could be expected.
