soldiers entered the grounds. The foot men
stacked their guns In front and to the east OF
the building, and sentries were detailed to pa
tIol the grounds. The policemen at the gates
were very strict In prohibiting the admission OF
visitors. There were hundreds OF people In front
OF the grounds. Men, women and children
chung to the iron pickets of the fence, and the
crowd Of people eagerly awaiting reports OF the
Presidents condition. Representatives OF the
press and prominent public men were admitted
to the grounds, and as thew returned from the
Executive Mansion they were surrounded by
tho waiting crowds, and virtually compelled 10
tell all that they knew regarding the sufferer.

There were several ladies at the White House.

and personally supervised arrangements for the
Presidents reception before he was removed
from the depot. MrA Blaine was also one OF
the first Of the ladies to reach the Executive
Mansion. She had not gone to the depot and
after hearing the sad news did all that lay In

THE BLOOD OF THE PRESIDENT.

The President was attired In q suit Of grey
mixed stuff, and his trousers and waistcoat
were soaked In blood. While the physicians
were With him the room adjoining was
crowded with members Of the Cabinet, ladies
and others, who anxiously awaited any It'd
ingp.
THE ASSASSIN DISAPPOINTED OFFICE SEEKER.
In the meantime the question as to who the
assassin was, was discussed, and 1t was stated
that he was lawyer from Chicago. who had
been here for some weeks applying for posi-
ton as consul, but had failed TO get 1t, and 1t
was limited that he had recently had an inter-
view with the President, at which something
had passed which 1t was not tudicious to use at
present, as 1t would so influence the public
mind that blOodshed would follow.
REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
At about 10 O'Clock Major Brock having, after
q consultation with Gen. Sherman. ordered out
a large detail of the police force, the police
ambulance was driven to the front door Of the
depot and the President was borne down the
steps to the ambulance, In which he was
placed with difficulty, owing to the surgtng Of
the crowd. When they started down the steps
the President appeared to be sleeping ana was
deathly pale, but just a. he was placed in the
ambulance he opened his eyes. The streets In
the nefghborhood OF the depot were lined with
people, also the avenue.
THE WOUND SAID 10 BE FATAL.
After the President left one of the physicians
stated that the wound was just below the short
ribs and passed obliquely just above the kid
neys, involving the liver, and that the ball
could not be found. at least at this time; that
the President was evidently having an internal
hemmorhage and the question OF his death was
one OF few hours only.
SAD SCENE IN THE WAITING ROOM.
Immediately on the shot being fired the
waiting room became the scene OF confusion,
several ladies' fainting and the children crying.
The paroxyms of grief Of Harry Garfield were
painful to behold.

Miss Phoebe Herbert, of Trenton,
N. j., carried off the prize at West
Chester in contest with nineteen
competitors for the leadership for
the primary department of the col
ored schools of that town. .-Philadel-
phia Mercury.
Our contemporary is in error as to
the name = Priscilla Herbert, not
Phoebe Herbert. Again, the contest
was not for a prize nor yet for a
leadership in the primary depart
ment of the schools. The facts are
that the colored school in West Ches-
ter, Pa, containing four rooms and a
couple of hundred pupils, has been
taught by white teachers. To this
the colored people took exception
If they were forced to attend sepa-
rate school, they demanded that the
school be at least taught by colored
teachers After considerable agita-
ton, the school board advertised a
public examination of colored appli-
cants, with the promise that if any
successfully passed the examination
they should be elected to teach in the
colored school. Nineteen applicants
were examined, but the examination,
as conducted by the superintendent,
was SO manifestly unfair that even the
secretary of the board protested and
asserted in the Philadelphia Press,
over his own signature, that the ques-
tions were designed for the especial
purpose of preventing the applicants
from passing the examination. Never
theless four of them passed, OF whom
the lady above mentioned was one
she receiving a somewhat higher per-
centage than the others. On. Thurs
day the board selected her as teacher
in the grammar department of the
colored school. It is not probable
that she will accept the position, as
the salary is inadequate, and she is
very pleasantly situated as principal
of public school in Princeton, N. j..
She consented to be examined through
the solicitation of A. P. Denny, Esq,
and committee of colored citizens
