How THE News OF THE ATTruprrn
ASSASSINATION WAS RECEIVED IN THIS
CITY.--The first news received in tbis
city on Saturday, of the attemnted
assassination of President Garfield,
was contained in a dispatch sent to
HE SENTENEL by George c. Hooper
OF the Washington press, and dated
1910 A NJ. Shortly thereafter the
news was bulletined by the Western
Union Telegraph Company, The
news rapidly spread to all parts of
the city, and by half past ten the
bulletin boards of the different tala-
graph companies, and at THE SEN
TENEL Office, were surrounded by an
anxious, excited crowd, who eagerly
received every fresh telegram as +
was bulletined, and among whom on
every side, could be heard expressions
OF sorrow aud regret mingled with
indignation against the cowardlv as
sassin. At half past three the first
edition Of The SENrENEL extra con-
tanning the latest associated news and
special telegraphic dispatches up to
2:3O P. NJ, was put upon the street.
1t was rapidly exhausted and a New
York newsman who had brought over
the first edition of the Telegram, con-
tanning dispatches up to II: 80. also
did thriving business. The people
remained on the street Watching and
waiting for every fresh telegram in
from Washington, until long after
midnight. Before
SIX O'CLOCK SUNDAY MORNING
the news-stands were surrounded bv
hundreds of people clamoring for the
New York and Philadelphia morning
papers. During the day, although
the crowds surrounding the bulletins
sensibly diminished as reassuring tele-
grams concerning the Presidents
condition were posted, the utmost
anxiety prevailed. In all of the
churches special prayers were offered
for the Presidents recovery. At ST.
Mary's R. G. Church Father Smith
conducted a solemn mass and the
congregation united in prayers for
the speedy restoration of the health
of the President.
the depressing effect of the unfavora-
BILE bulletins noticeably contributed
toward making dull and sorrowful
Fourth of July celebration. The
public temper was we'll expressed by
AssEMBLYMAN RICHARD A. DoNNELLY.
who said: "The crime against the
President is crime against the peace
and safety of the body polite he
was the honored President of the
nation-of Democrat and Republican,
of black and white, of native and
foreigner, alike, and, as an American,
l sincerely trust, that everyone will
refrain from all noisy and unseemly
demonstrations on this anniversary of
the nations birth. It is not day
for rejoicing it is, indeed, day of
the most poignant national sorrow"
ON TUESDAY
the gloom and sadness seemed to
deepen into an apparently settled
conviction that the President must
die, and an especially unfavorable
bulletin received about 1:30 P. NJ.
sensibly increased the general des-
pondency. The cheering reports con-
tanned in the newspapers
WEDNESDAY MORNING,
and the Presidents brave words had
a decided tendency toward dispelling
the general unhopefulness, which by
THURSDAY MORNING
had turned into settled conviction
that the President would recover.
YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING
the same confidence in the President s
ability to pull through prevailed.

Jim D. Browns Promotion.

The st. Joseph Gazette OF Yesterday
passed the following compliment on a
well-known and popular former Sedalian
Col. James ID. Brown has just been ap-
pointed general passenger agent of the
Canada Southern railway. For some time
past he has been assistant general pas
senger agent of the Missouri Pacific road,
and in that capacity has been the brains
of the passenger department of that line.
There is no better railroad man in the
west. There is no more courteous gentle
man, no more tireless worker. no more en-
ergetic official. 1t is difficult To under
stand how the Missouri Pacific can afford
To lose him. nor why it did not long ago
recognize his remarkable executive abil-
ity by promotion 70 the superintendent
If the department which he has I'm realilv
conducted. The Gazette most heartily con-
graduates the Canada Southern upon its
acquisition, and Col. Brown upon his pro-
motion. His loss to the west is one that
will be regretted, but this regret need not
detract from the sincere joy of his thou
sand friends that the colonel has been
called to a position second TO few of It's
class in the country"
