 GUTTEAu CAREFULLY GUARDED IN JAIL.
 All requests made at the jatl for permission to see Guiteau or even the retunda continue to be refused. The fact that a military guard continues to be maintained indicates that the authorities apprehend some danger of an at tempt being made to capture the prisoner or of escaping It is stated that there are or ganizations in this oity, as well as in Balti- more and Philadelphia, whose members are ready to take the law in their own hands if they can get hold of him. One of the anony- nous communications received by District Attorney Corkhin shortly after the attempted assassination notified him that Q number of young men of Baltimore had banded together for the purpose of punishing Guiteau. The att tendants of the jail, when asked if there is anything new about Guiteau, reply no. One said to-day to reporter, sIf you could see him don't think it would do any good. think he wouldn't say anything" Colonel Corkhin was asked if Gaiteau had secured bondsmen. 'sNo," was the answer, sIt is
 
 to be released on bail, that he knows the President is recovering" was further said. He does not know it," replied Corkhill. There are, suppose, many ways he could learn it. He knows also that it is thirty days since the President was shot and he can req son from that that the President is probably recovering, as he must know he is alive"

Barely Escaping Death-Three Men
 Nearly Carried Over Niagara Falls
 How They Were Rescued.
 PROSPECT HOUSE, Niagara Falls, August 8. Three men came as near going over the falls here Monday night as ever any man did who still lives to tell the story. John Leh- man and his son and John Greenwood, all of Chippewa, Ont, village 8 short distance in two small boats to visit some friends on the American side. The two Lehmans were in one boat and Greenwood was in the other. They set out just before dusk to return home, and pushed their boats into the stream, hardly more than mile above the falls. It was an exceedingly foolhardy thing to do, but they were familiar with the river and thought they could play with the rapids a little without being hurt. They were not more than half way across when the river became covered with a thick fog, and the men lost each other. It was impos- the darkness and mist and they began to shout for help. Their cries were heard on shore, but no one cared to venture into the stream to run the chance of finding them or being hurried over the falls. Their cries, however, were answered, and the whole town turned out to try to rescue them. The church bells were rung, and the large bell of the tannery, to direct the imperiled men which way to head their little crafts, but the roar of the falls drowned every other sound, and the boats were meanwhile drifting rapid ly toward the edge Greenwood had small anchor attached to a long line in his boat, and he threw it out. The anchor, by great good luck, took hold of a rock, and his prog ress was stopped. The Lehmans drifted down to within half mile of the falls, their course being easily traced from the shore by their cries. Their lives were saved by their boat striking counter current, which carried them against projecting point on the Canadian side, near the burn ing spring. Greenwood was heard shouting for help at intervals throughout the night, but in the morning when day broke he was seen still riding safely at anchor, and was soon rescued.

The Peoria Dynamite WarriOr-A speci-

 MIsIead Subscribers to the sl<irmfshing
 Fund.
 CHICAGO, Aug 3.-The British Vice Con sul, MT. Warrack, in this city, says that no instructions nor papers in regard to Grove, the alleged manufacturer of internal ma chimes at Peoria, have been forwarded to him from Washington or elsewhere.
 PEORIA, Aug. 3.-There has been consid: erable misrepresentation in regard to the standing, character and acts of Patrick w. Grove, the Fepian of this city. Grove has been employed lamp lighter by the Gas company here for the past three years. He is shallow pated Irishman, who inherits all the ingual characteristics of his race, with out it's common sense, and is tormented with an intolerable itch for notoriety. He will go to unwarrantable lengths in order to bring his name into prominence. The secret of the internal machines was disclosed by Grove himself, who took advantage of the alleged discovery of some of the machines in English ports to air his own importance. Since the publication of the discovery of the machines in this city Grove has seized on every oppor- tunity to advertise himself and has succeed ed admirably. It is true that there are infer nal machines now here that were made here. One of them was taken to the Jou77e0E office of this city in order to compare them with the description of those discovered in Liver pool. A few hours after it was removed there it was sent for by the makers and was allowed to be taken away. It is now said Grove, acting in collision with O'Donovan Rossa and four others, obtained control of the skirmishing fund amounting to $sO, 900 and these castings were made to lead the con- tributors to that fund to believe that a bona .1fde disposition was being made of it. In per son Grove is insignificant looking and the last man in the world to be prime mover of any revolutionary enterprise. The mans itch for fame or his desire to absorb a portion of the skirmishing fund has prompted him to start these untrue reports. This is correct and is all there is to it.

Stafford Northcote commended Mir. Glad stone's view. While Sir Wilfred Lawson lradicaD was speaking against the illegal con duct of the House, Mr. Bradlaugh who had evaded the police, endeavored to force an en- trapce, but was seized by messengers and dragged from the doors, when he was taken
 in charge by six policemen, still resisting strenuously, his coat being torn in the strug-
 gle Sir Wilfred Lawson was for resembling the
 former resolutions against the admission of Mr.. Bradlaugh as irrelevant, and that the question before the House was the conduct of the Speaker in prohibiting MT. Brad laughs access to the lobby.
 After Nr. Broadhurst (advanced liberal) and MT. Cowen (radical reformer) had spok- en in favor of Mir. Bradlaugh, John Bright described how MT. Bradlaugh was brought down to the Palace yard in fainting condi- tion. He thought such scene was unprece- dented. He appealed to the opposition to reconsider their former decision so as to ex- tricate themselves from the present difficult ties. He was called to order for irrelevancy. Lord John Manners Conservative said that MT. Bright s attitude was calculated to encour- age Mir. Bradlaugh, who had necessitated his forcible removal by attempting forcible entry. An amendment to Mr. Labouchere's motion, declaring that the House approves the conduct of the Speaker and of the officers under his orders, was accepted by MT. Glad stone and Sir Stafford Northcote, and was passed. A number of liberal members quit ted the House before the vote was taken, amidst ironical cheers. MT. Bradlaugh, after his expulsion, went to Bow street for sum- mons against the police.

he Cor n Or op-Great Injury From the
 Drought.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The Times has a great number of despatches about the condition of the corn crop in Illinois, which is impor- tant in view of the present frmness of the corn market, based on reports of injury to the crops by dry weather.
 Clinton, H., reports that if rain does not fall within the next week the farmers say that the corn crop will be 10 per centum less; if no rain in two weeks 25 per centum, and if none in three weeks the bugs will eat it up.
 LaHarpe, ll.. reports that the drought creates anxiety for the late planted corn, but the early planted is in splendid condition Taken as whole the crop will be unques- ionably large.
 Belvidere, Ill, reports no damage by drought yet, but danger if it continues.
 At Hennepin, Ill.,, the corn is burning up. Unless rain comes within a week there will be but half crop.
 Monmouth, H., reports the spoiled about seventy-fve per centum. In the vicinity of Vandalia the crop is 8 complete failure. Men dota farmers say the prospect was never so unfavorable. If the drought continues if teen days longer there will be but one third crop.
 Dixon, H., reports about half crop in prospect, Carlinville three-fourths crop and Plano two-thirds crop.
 Centralia, H., says there will not be enough corn to feed the chickens At majority of points in Illinois the crop is all dried up. Much damage by the drought is reported from Shelbyville. Around Cham paign there is only half crop, and near Monticello about three-quarters of crop. About half a crop is expected at Urbana. At Marshall the corn is nearly ruined. A good rain at Decatur would save an average crop. From Winona comes the report that in the contiguous ports of Marshall, Sa Sale and Livingston counties the lately planted corn is likely to go for fodder At Anna less than half crop is expected. The crop is in good shape at Pekin, and with rain in. side of ten days an average crop will result
