A Tramp,s Fate.

A tramp and his companions, camp
ing out near Steubenville, Ohio, year
since, fell in with a neighboring farmer
and his wife, an Englishwoman, who,
discovering that one of them was her
countrymen, took them all home and
gave them a ravishing meal The hus-
band finally induced the Englishman
to abandon his rough life and stay with
them. His wife's sister, widow,
shortly after coming out from England,
fell in love with the reformed tramp and
at length married him. One day he re-
ceived letter from England in answer
to one of his own, informing him that
his father had been dead two years and
left him fortune of 100000 He then
disclosed his identity to his wife and
his friends. He was the son of super
intendent of a public library in Eng
land, and having in consequence of his
fast life there quarreled with his father,
came to this country, where he spent
among dissolute companions the money
with which his father supplied him un-
til his patience was exhausted. For
five years he led tramp's life, until he
was at last provided with home, wife,
a fortune, and, it is to be hoped, re-
formed and sensible mind.

A singular and fatal accident occurred
at Jackson, Miss, recently. Mn. w.
Bailey, chancery clerk Of Madison
county, in company with Mr.. T. Wharton,
ofJacRson, was eating dinner at arestau-
rant. During the meal, while engaged
in friendly and sociable conversation,
allusion was made to the strange and
sad fate that befel the late Walter
Brooks, of Vicksburg, who was choked
to death by eating an oyster. Mr.. Whar-
ton said something further, which dis
tracted Mr.. Bailey's attention and
caused him to laugh, and, few second
after, it was noticed that the latter gem
tleman appeared very sick, and was
gasping for breath. Mr.. Wharton and
others Immediately attempted to relieve
him by carrying him to the door and
slapping him on the back, but without
avail. Physicians were sent for, but
before they arrived Mr. Bailey was dead,
and it was beyond the power Of medical
skill to revive him. He had inadveft.

became lodged in his throat and choket

jumped so quick he sprained his knee,

and hurt her, and got to the window

blocks away, round the corner-Boston

THE GUILTY GUITEAU.
A Plan to Secure His Indictment at an
Early Day.

WASHINGTON, September IS District
Attorney CorkhiH to-day took the last steps
il the preliminary arrangements for securing
an Indictment against Guiteau next week,
by issuing subpGnas to the following wit
nesses for the Government: .
Edward A. Bailey, stenographer, who
has 4 large mass of notes of conversations
with Guiteau, giving his history from early
boyhood, reasons for committing the act,
etc; Geo. Adams, President of the EreT,iHg
Star Publishing Company, who was in the
depot en- route to Cape May, when the
shooting occurred, Geo. W. McElfresh,
detective; Drs. d. w. Bliss and d. s. Lamb,
who were present at the autopsy; Jacob p.
Smith, special officer ut the Baltimore &
Potomac depot who witnessed the shooting
and aided in the arrest OF Guiteau;
Sarah E D. White, in charge of
the ladies' waiting room at the depot,
she witnessed the shooting and helped to
raise the President; Robt- a. Park, ticket
seller, who jumped the window of his office
and assisted in raising the President; po-
liceman Patrick Tiernay, who spoke to the
President Just before the shooting, telling
him he had ten minutes to wait for the
train This witness also aided in Guiteau 8
arrest The District Attorney will ask
Senior Don Simon Comacho, Change DAf
faires, Venezuela, who was in the depot
and witnessed the shooting, to testify All
the above named witnesses are directed to
be in attendance at the reassembling of the
Grand Jury at the criminal court room
Monday, when presentment OF the case
will be made
No answer has yet been received by the
District Attorney from George N Scoville,
Guiteau's brother-in-law, who was request
ed by the prisonerto appear as his counsel.
Guiteau says he is not afraid of the law, for
that will protect him, and prevent his be-
| ing hung He is reported to be feeling
Somewhat disappointed at not receiving
prompt reply from Scoville.
The story published yesterday to the
effect that Sergeant Mason's attempt to
shoot Guiteau was the result of q plot
among the soldiers of the Second Artillery,
which furnishes the guard at the Jail, is
Indignantly denied by both men and Off
GERS. They regard Mason as good soldier,
whose mind was unsettled by malarial
fever combined with the prevailing excite
ment. 1t Is believed his trial will result in
his acquittal on the ground of temporary
insanity and his discharge from the army.
The court martial does not meet until
October 25-

WASHINGTON, D. &C., September 2S.-At,
.torney-General MacYeagh adheres firmly
to his determination to retire from the
Cabinet as soon as the President is ready
to appoint his successor. He spent two
hours with the President this morning. In
reply to a question if the Star route prose
cutions will be delayed by his retirement
he said he had never attended to the de.
tails of the case; these had been in good
hands and would continue in the same till
the trials were concluded; the interests oi
Justice would be attained as wen under any
successor appointed by the President as
under himself He is entirely satisfied with
the Star route cases, and does not doubt
that indictments will be found The Pres
ident will be ready to fill the place when
the called session OF the Senate meets, i
not before.
