| got myself arrested i split brick
in half and put the halves in nv
overcOat pocket. When / got to the
poStOffice / took one from nv
pocket and threw it through one of
the large windows, calling out at the
same time: -"That is a better shot
than the one aimed at the President

Philadelphia, 6.-The lunaties
Mcnamara, is an Irishman who.
served in the rebel army and the
regular army five years. He has
been in the almshouse here. He was
arrested for disorderly conducts,
jailed and sent to the insane asylum.
He went to Washington to get
Blaine to secure him a pension, and
denounced Guitteau's crime before
leaving. He was always excitable.
The Tribune, referring to Senator
Jones remarks that ArthuriS
presidency would not mean much
more than a . change of
men, says AS the representative
of the state Of Nevada, and a parti-.
cularly intimate friend of Conkling.
his utterance is particularly signif-
cant. If he means that Arthur VIII
dismiss the present cabinet and
appoint to the leading offices differ
ent men than those selected by Gar
field, it would be difficult to con-
ceive a more radical change. 1t is
the change most seriously appre~
hended ike the changes of Tyler,
Fillmore, and Andy Johnson. If
Jones speaks by authority, the
Tribune hopes he may say something
more encouraging.
Washington, 6.-The story that
the assassin Guitteau tried to shoot
Blaine, but was prevented by Ben-
son, formerly of the secret service
is disproved by the testimony eff
Ticket Agent Park at the DEPOT
who says Guitteau tried to escape as
soon as the shooting was over. Ben
son was not in the room at the time
of the shooting.
Cincinnati, c. Evidences OF
crooked dealing on the part OF
Guitteau, while in Chicago as a
lawyer are turning up here. He goE
permission to settle a claim for Osss
firm at 15c on the dollar, and settled
it for 81 and never turned oyer ~
dollar to the creditors. He was dis
barred for this.
Washington, 6.-The comparative
happiness at the White House and IL
the city on the steady improvemene
of the President since last night
has materially increased hope.
but there is still great anxiety.
While doing well the fact that the
danger is not yet passed is realized
The doctors say he has been i'm
proving every hour-a very little
improvement and very slow, but
perceptible. A reporter left the
White House at 10 o'clock tonight
and everything was more quiet thar
at any time since the President was
shot. Members Of the cabinet haY&
gone home to get much needed rest,
being assured that no change foE

to let the President sleep undis-
turbed, for he seems inclined t9
sleep good deal. The mind Of the
President is clear and bright, he has
slept since yesterday afternoon FUZZY
seven hours. His sleep has BEEN
calm and natural and has bene-
fitted him great deal. To
the question as to the source
whence danger was feared, the doe
tor replied that it would be difficult
and improper to state. There might
be pus in the cavity of the wound:
there might be secondary hemor--
rhage, which, however, he did not
seriously apprehend; or a variety Of
other chances to make the symptoms
unfavOrable. At this time, how
ever, he felt under the circumstance
strongly hopeful of recovery-more
hopeful than at any time yet. The
Presidents improved condition was
best shown at I o'clock by the con-
dition Of the pulse, which has;
dropped to 104, a difference of six
beats for the better since 1 o'clock
Secretary Blaine, who had left tbs
White House about o'clock. spoke
most encouragingly of the Presi-
