Gu,teau PLAYING a sharp Game

Officer Edelin,. who has charge of Guiteau
between the jail and court house, in describing
to q correspondent of the Chicago Tribune on
Saturday night the incidents connected with
tho attempted shooting of the wretch by the
drunken hummer Bill Jones, said:'
"rhe bullet passed through towards his
body, and must have gone just in front Of his
breast 1t struck against the opposite side of
the van, and fell, fiattened out, to the floor.
He was awful glad to get back to the jail, l
guess, Do you know, gentlemen" continued
the officer, ''that warned him against this Last
Thursday? He promised me going down to
court that day not to cut up again, and when he
began to make q noise pulled him back in his
seat. When we got in the marshaPs room at
recess, said to Guiteau: 'What did you prom
ise me about not making noise in court? You
are getting the people all down on you.' And
he said in reply: 'Don't make any mistake.

There's not nan in the court room that heard
me to-day but will believe that am insane ~
The victim was 80 full of vanity at the sharp
trick he was playing upon the jury, reporters,

HOuse Files Vetoed.

q. F. 332-An act to amend section 90 of titla
1 Of chapter "a Of the general statutes of 1878.
The bill was returned with the following at
tacheG:
The act authorizes a railroad company, even
after verdict to abandon its condemnatory proceed
ings and begin de novo. This would enable such
company, if the result of the trial did not suit
them. TO have a new trial by means of new con-
demnation, and this could be kept up ad infinitum
test or unable to bear the expense, and thus be
forced to accept the amount the company might be
willing to pay.
a. F. No. 65-An act to locate, survey and es-
tablish State road from Graceville, in Big Stone
county, to Mandada, in Traverse county. The bill
was vetoed on the ground that such measure
would be an injustice and heavy burden to the
which the road would pass A lengthy petition
from residents of that district setting forth such
objections, showing that the construction of such
interests, was appended to the bill and was the
cause Of disapproval.

disaDprovMal mp o al was @ substantially as follows:
proved. Ample means for the vacation of town
plats and streets being provided by laws already in
force, summary legislation is liable to do gross in
justice to parties in interest who thus deprived
of all means Of being heard in the matter.
Il. T. 59-An act to amend sections 50, 60, 81
and 81, chapter 1S, general statutes of 1878. The
kokSfuoE ODlecuOnS were as appeQueQ DelOW.
The amendment proposed by this act will leave
the law IN this shape: No appeal be taken from
the determination of the supervisors when the
amount of damages allowed exceeds S1O0 No ap-
peal can be taken from the determination of the
county county commissioners when the damages
claimed are less than 800. A large number of
cases would therefore be left without the right of
appeal. I can conceive of no reason why q man
who had been damaged over 500 by laying out
town road, and why man who is damaged 500 by
laying out county road, should not be allowed an
appeal.

plus in the treasury sufficient to discharge the
governments obligations to the road.
Traffic on the Canadian Pacific west of Win

water having overfown the track and frozen.
Reports from stations on the Winona & st
Peter railroad west OF us, and from the west
ern division of the Sioux City road, indicate
that scarcity of fuel will prevail this winter
on the frontier.
Considerable interest attaches to the we'll
authenticated report that the Chicago, Milwau-
kee q st. Paul railroad company will build
both their Farley and Monroe branches into
Dubuque within the next four months.
Col. John MacGuire has arrived at st. Paul
with corps of engineers from the Sank Center
Northern railroad survey, having definitely
located the line thirty nine miles through an
exceptionally fertile and favored region through
the center of Todd county, and up TIE Eagle
valley to the Wing river valley.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST Paul officials
have just issued new through tariff, giving
rates on emigrant movables from stations in
Wisconsin and Illinois to points in Minnesota,
Dakota, Manitoba, and On connecting lines
north and west of g.. Paul, making the same
rates from such interior stations as from Chi
cago and Milwaukee, namely. on the basis of
SoO to ST Paul, and the special rates to such
connecting lines beyond.
The ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitaba rail
way advertise for proposals for the construc-
ton Of q double track railway stone arch
bridge acr IS the Mississippi river at Mime

SENATOR BECK of Kentucky is alive to
the danger Of disputed presidential sue
eession and proposes to introduce IN the
senate a resolution upon the subject which
is identical with that introduced by Sena-
tor Crittenden of Kentucky in 1856. The
resolution provides that the Judiciary COM
mittee shall investigate the subject and re-
port plan so clear as to admit of no con-
trover5y nor any question of disputed sue
ces3ion to that high office. That anything
practical will come from such a resolution
may be doubted from the experience of the
past, but no one doubts the pressing neces-
sity for legislation upon the subject. The
late Senator Morton, and Senators Ed
munds, Bayard and Thurman, have en-
deavored, withou, success, to have the mat
ter settled, and it is feared that Senator
Beck vii not succeed, owing to the culpa-
bic Indifference Of congress. The danger
will become apparent enough when it is too
late to provide remedy, and possibly at
the next presidential election.

the police court building was surprised
by the apparition of woman bare headed and

Just as she was entering the law Office of Cook

it was Mrs. Lille Christiancy, the defendant in
the celebrated divorce suit Her hair was
streaming over her shoulders, her feet devoid
Of any covering whatever, and she was scratch
ing wildly and viciously at her face. The jan
itor endeavored to persuade her to return to
her residence, but she broke away from him and
exclaimed that she would never return home
again; that she wanted to see her lawyers
on very important business. Her shrieks at
tracted quite crowd, and a carriage was quick
ly summoned and the unfortunate woman was
placed in it and driven to her residence, about
four squares from the spot where she was dis
covered. Her rawlings were terrible to listen to
as she was borne down Louisiana avenue. The
construction put upon Mrs. Christiancy's con-
duct is that her troubles have driven her mad,
and the next step in the case may be to send
her to the asylum.
