dent Gartield's death was received at 1890 to-

sorrow in this, his native county. Hi!
as personal affection. Crowds
hocked to the newspaper and teleglsph Office,
to learn particulars and manifestations oil
grief were pronounced, many weeping az
though they had lost their brother. The
bells tolled as if spontaneously. Dispatches
from all parts of northern Ohio state church
and fire bells arc tolling and
great excitement prevails every.
where the deepest sympathy is expressed
for the stricken mother aud family. The trus-
tees of Lake View cemetery, the beautiful city
of the dead just outside the limits of Cleve-
land, overlooking Lake Erie, have authorized
their president, Hon. Jas. Wade, to telegraph

menced tolling at 1910 p. M, announcing
the sad news to the city.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 19.-The anxiety of the
people has been intense all day. The bulletin
boards have been surrounded by quiet but
excited crowd. The long struggle
for life , has excited deeper
feeling than did the first announcement of the
attack on the president. The news of the af-
ternoon made the people believe that he might
linger for few days at least, and there were
few on the street when the news of his death
and the people knew that the end had come.

presidents death. The fire bell and Roman
Catholic cathedral bells have tolled since the
a rival of the sad news.
CHRONICLE CoNsTITUTIoNALIsT, GA.
AUGUSTA, Ca, Sept. 19.-The Chramicle
and Comstitutionaist will say tomorrow
forenoon: With anguish we announce our
worst fears have been confirmed and James A.
Garfield, president of the United States, is
dead by the hand of the most disreputabe
of scoundrels whom it would be a stretch OF
charity to call mad man. This
great and good president, this
this noble gentleman has been slain Strange
that the bullets of brave foemen should have
in fair fight spared him for such fate.
Sad indeed is it that such glorious being, SO
useful, SO powerful, SO manly, so excellent
should become the victim of SO vile
reptile. We bow to the dispensations
of God and question them not. To him
we leave the vindications and ends of
Justice. The heart of the South bleeds for
the stricken mother and children of the
president. Upon his dead body we lay im-
wreath of trust, sorrow and
regret. Innocent of the murder of Lincoln
the South suffered long years OF
agony and persecution for anothers
crime. Innocent of the assassination of Gar
field, the South, fearless of the future and
forgetful of the past, stands tearfully beside
the relics of the president and prays that the
storm dashed spirit shall have the rest of the
righteous, and sanctuary in that haven
where, lulled to slumber, grief forgets to
mourn.
NEW YORK WORLD.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-H President Garfield
had succumbed at once to the shock of the
mortal wound inflicted upon him, there is
no telling to what mad length the impulse to
avenge might have been carried President Gar
fields countrymen are able and free to honor
and to lament him in singleness of heart,
with a very resolute purpose, intend that
Justice shall be sent on his murderer. Specu-
lations on what might have been the results
of Gar6eld's administration, had he lived to
complete 1t, can scarcely be profitable.
In accepting nominally more important
Office, Gen. Garfield really lost the opportu-
nifty of rendering that public service he was
30 eminently competent to render, abandoned
the true arena of his powers, and
by what now seems bitter irony of fate, en-
countered his tragical, premature and most
Iamented death.
