just received a. telegram stating
that the wounds from the as
sassin's bullets would not cause
death, and the perusal of this dis
patch, whichwas placed in Mrs. Garfield's
hand, had the effect of partially dispell-
ing the fears occasioned by the first re-
port The Central New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, with praiseworthy haste,
combined in placing special tram

news of the attempted assassination of
President Garfield created great excite
ment here, not only because of his being
a member of Williams alumni, but from
his intention of attending the commence

Vice President Arthur and Senator Conk-
ling have arrived at the Fifth avenue ho-
tel There was gathering of politicians
about them as they walked into the hotel,
together, through the Fifth avenue en-

which had arrived for him and ran brisk
ly across the hall to the stairway, dismiss
ing one or two reporters who tried to in
terrupt him with move OF the hand,
and bounded up the stairway, two steps
at time. In the meanwhile the Vice
President stood at the foot Of the stair
way He apparently endeavored to main
tain cool demeanor, but it was evident

SCENES AND TALK IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, July 2.-Scenes occurred
here to-day never eQualed before The
crowds wendell from one bulletin to an
other, and extras of all papers were eager
ly devoured, so intense was the feeling
to obtain the latest news. Was he shot
dead, or was it but slight wound? These
were the thoughts of every one who look
ed upon or heard the first dispatch.
Then followed the dispatch that the
Presidents doctor was starting for the
Baltimore & Potomac depot This SIM
pie report banished all doubts of those
who had heretofore regarded the rumor
as canard. Then the terrible enormity
of the crime, the AFFECT cowardice of it.,
broke upon all Americans like flash.
The chief magistrate of their country
had been wantonly shot down in cold
blood. 1t was an outrage that every
citizen took to his own heart, deed
more worthy of despotic Russia than the
free States of America Tie excitement
down town has not been eIualled IN a
generation. The bulletin boards were
scanned by great sympathizing crowds,
and expressions of grief and vengeance
were heard in the same breath. Faces
flushed and streaming from the broiling
atmosphere paled as they caught the
dread intelligence conveyed. 9'Poor
Mrs. Garfield, the news will kill her. :"
sThey ought to tear the assassin apart. y
ssRussian methods in our country"
These were a few of the expressions
that were caught by reporter as he
worked his way through dense crowd
in front of bulletin board.
In all the government offices the deep
est sorrow was visible. Heads of depart
ments made no effort to disguise the
weight of the blow which had fallen on
them. The clerks, even those who had
arduous duties to perform, went about
with thoughtful countenances. At the
city hall the assassination was on every
body's lip. An official of the bitterest
Democratic stamp, spoke of the act as a
national calamity, and freely expressed
sympathy with Mrs. Garfield.
