wife,s Petition Granted.

A sad scene was witnessed at the police court
yesterday morning, which was unusually pa
thetic for even this common resort Of wretch
edness. After the dizzy buns had been dis
rosed of, there appeared woman SO small and
slender, and childlike, and hungry looking,
that she seemed the walking embodiment OF
famine. She was dressed in faded alpaca
dress, and her wasted form was illy-cOncealed
beneath tattered black shawl.
To complete the sombre picture she wore an
old straw hat and cuddled beneath the shawl
of this child's form form was young infant.
1t is impossible to convey correct idea OF
the expression IN her large, gray and despair
ingly bright eyes. She asked to see the court,
and on hearing her story a
prominent lawyer exclaimed, ''Great
Heavens, can this be called marriage.
The woman's name is st Peters week ago
her husband was committed to Jail for getting
drunk and fighting In the Sixth ward. The
parties existed in hovel on the flat in West
St. Paul. Last Tuesday the mother and her
infant were turned out of doors. Since her
husband was committed, she has led fearful
life Mr.. Murray stated that it was a hard
case; he said that the woman had no home,
no money, no bread, no friends, and that she
and her child were sick. She wanted her hus-
band released from jail, and the request was
granted.

One Lie Pitnctured.

WASHINGTON, July cit has been tele-
graphed from here that Benton, formerly of
the secret service division, prevented Guiteau
from shooting Secretary Blaine after he had
shot the President by grasping The assassin by
the throat, throwing him down on the floor of
the depot and wrenching the pistol from him.
This story is pronounced totally untrue by
persons who witnessed the shooting and who
first caught the assassin. Parke, the ticket
agent, who was the first man to seize Guiteau,
saws he saw every motion made by the latter,
and that he did not pay any attention to Sec
retary Blaine, and that as soon as he fired the
second shot Guiteau endeavored to leave the
depot AS ne was going out Parke caught
and held him, crying at the top of his voice.
and Smith, an employe OF the depot, who saw
until he was carried away by officers, says
Blaine, and did not even look at the secretary.
All who witnessed the shooting contradicted
the story of Benton, and say that Benton was

Audacitn and In,pudence.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, July
6.-Since the attempted assassination of the
President, Mr.. Judd, one of the latter's secre-
taries, has called to mind the fact that last
fail, soon after the October elections, while
the President was at Mentor, he received from
the then unknown Chas. Guiteau the follow
ing letter, dated New York City, and written
upon letter head paper of the Fifth Avenue
hotel:
DEAR GEN'L-I, Charles Guiteau, hereby
make application for the Austrian mission.
Being about to marry a wealthy and accom-
plished heiress of this city, we think that to-
gether we might represent this nation with
dignity and grace. On the principle of ''first
come first served" l have faith that you will
give this application favorable consideration.
(Signed) CHARLES GUITEAU.
The letter was shown to Gen. Garfield rather
as curiosity than as communication to be
answered, and he several times afterwards re-
ferred to it, half humorously, as an illustration
of unparalleled audacity and impudence.

The Say of Eminent Physicians.

NEW YORK. July Ga physician, in a COM
municatlon to the Tribune concerning the ma
ture of the Presidents wound, says it is the
opinion of large number of intelligent medi-
cal men in the city that neither the liver nor
any other vital part has been wounded, This
is borne out by the fact that, beyond the first
shock, there has been no material change eth
er in the temperature, pulse or respiration.
The changes that might affect the former are
the most important indications either of shock
or peritonitis but the body heat has not risen
above 101 degrees and a fraction. The most
probable explanation of President Garfeld's
wound is that the bullet took an upward and
inward course and lodged in a dense tissue
about the spinal column. This injury would
account for the pain in any other way. No
man injured in the manner claimed by wit
nesses would live SO long without any acces
sion of really unfavorable symptoms.
DIR MARION SIMS.
A Paris correspondent cables the following:
81 interviewed DIR. Marion Sims, this even
ing. He says that if the President has recov-
cred from the shock and the surgeons think
that the ball perforated the abdominal
cavity, they. should cut open the abdomen as in
ovariotomy. If there is any bleeding vessel,
sew up the intestines of the wounded man,
clear out the peritoneal cavity, and place u
drainage tube to drain off the poisonous exu-
dations. This shoull be the treatment of all
gunshot wounds of the abdomen" DR.. Sims
says that he studied the subject at the battle
of Sedan, and that he made there many post
mortem examinations, proving that the pa
tients might have been saved if they had not
been in dying state when brought to his
ambulance. He saw the post mortem of Fisk,
and feels confident that his life could have
been saved by the method he proposed.

A Right to Recorer.

PHILADELPHIA, July Cdr. D. Hayes
Agnew, in conversation, spoke as follows this
morning: ~ think it safe to say that the
Presidents chances of recovery have under
gone very great improvement since yesterday.
I never thought at all it followed from the
nature of the wound that he should die, was
one of his remarks. The subsistence OF abdo
NAL tenderness cannot be over estimated as a
sign in the Presidents favor. The principal
danger yet to be apprehended is from peritone-
tbs, and every hour that passes improves the
Presidents chance of escaping it. To-day is
the critical period. If he gets over tonight
without the appearance of this inflammation
he has a right to recover.
HOPES OF THE SURGEONS.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The last bulletin
shows the pulse 100, temperature SO, respira-
ton %. This is an increase of two beats in
the pulse, but the doctors do not consider
it as any bad showing, and say that all favor
able symptoms continue. The President has
continued to rest easily and to steadily i'm
prove, and doctors say that every minute that
he continue to get along as he las since yes
terday morning greatly increases the chances
of final recovery. Some fear was expressed
of gangrene in the wound, but the surgeons
do no apprehend this. They say that there is
not single symptom of gangrene yet, and
that if gangrene had set in it would show
itself by unmistakable signs. The President
has good appetite and his stomach retains

The Coming Wheat Crop,

Secretary Young of the State board of i'm,
migration, has made some figures, based on
correspondence received from county auditors,
business men and farmers in different portions
of the State, of the acreage and probable yield
of the growing wheat crop. Upon like facts
Mr.. Young, about this time last year, made a
like calculation, the result of the harvest yeri-
flying to remarkable degree the correctness
his information and conclusions therefrom.
He figures this year that the acreage in grow
ing wheat is only 2,SS7 600 acres, and that the
product will be only from 2S,500,00O to 80,
00O, 900 bushels, loss as compared with last
year of 20 per cent. in both acreage and yield.
This loss is accounted for by the early setting
in of winter, cutting off much contemplated
fall blowing and the late and wet tspIing, which
prevented the seeding OF large tracts of low
ground, and also in some cases destroyed the
seed sown.

where the man was shot through the liver
and recovered. He happened to be soldier

interesting case. Another, had during the
war somewhat similar, was that of man
shot through the lower part Of the body:
An abcess formed and l put tube in and

AN ERA OF CRAZY MEN.
This seems to be an era of crazy men. An
insane individual appeared at the White House
TO-DAY. He said that the President was about to
die and had sent for him. He was impatient to
get in and said that every moment might be
fatal delay. 1t was apparent that he was
crazy, and the doorkeeper took in the sltua-
tion aud marched him out of the gate. The
man had no pass, but had managed to slip in
some way. This morning another lunatic ap-
peared on the scene. He did not get any
further than the gate. he had remedy for
the Presidents wound and wanted to apply 1t
right away. He knew 1t would cure him.
He said it had been successfully used
in many such cases. He was invited to prom
enade and went promptly on in the avenue.
Another crazy mau went into the adjutant
generals Office, slapped Gen. Drum on the
back, and said he had revelation that he
must kill Vice President Arthur. He was
promptly arrested.
WHERE DID THE MONEY COME ERoM.
Considerable talk has been indulged in since
the arrest of Guiteau with regard to the means
by which he managed to get the money to
purchase the revolver with which he shot the
President. 1t was known for weeks he had
been without money, and had been beating his
board bill. He purchased a new re-
volver and the question is how did
he get the money. The detectives have, how
ever, discovered that the pistol was purchased
at Omen's gun store Oh Fifteenth and
streets, opposite the treasury department, and
that the money with which it was purchased
was borrowed by Guiteau. The man who
loaned it to him is said to be respectable and
worthy citizen, and out of respect for his
feelings the authorities are withholding his
name. He was deceived by the smooth tongue
of Guiteau, and now feels his unfortunate
but unintentional connection with the sad af
fair. Those who have the facts are keeping
them quiet.

The Rochester Post is for Gen. Hub
bard for governor, and has the following
regarding him:
Hon. A. R. McGill. OF ST. Peter, is also a
strong candidate for the nomination. He is a
gentleman of character and ability, has made
an excellent insurance commissioner and would
make good governor, but we do him no in
justice in ranking his claims for the governor
ship second to those of Hubbard.
The Republican convention, when it meets,
ought to be left to choose between McGill and
Hubbard, but we shall be mistaken If there is
not another candidate brought forward in the
person of Gov. Pillsbury.
The Post thinks if Pillsbury should be
nominated his bond record would go hard
with him.
