WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Scoville, Guiteau's
counsel is much depressed by his visit to New
York. He found no lawyer willing TO under
take the case with even an unusually large re-
tainer. Witnesses of character refused to 60
to Washington to testify although many ad-
mitted that they would have to say or oath
they believed the assassin insane years ago.
Mr.. Scoville now relies upon witnesses to be
procured here. He says the officers of the
state, war and treasury, to whom Guiteau ap-
piled for office, will be obliged to testify
that before the shooting they forbade him
admittance because of the belief
he was a "crank." It is known that all the
attendants at Secretary Blaine's house and the
White house had orders to exclude him and
watch him on the same account. Gulteau re-
jects Scoville's proposition to employ Robt. g.
Ingersoll as counsel, because the whole
Christian world would be prejudiced thereby.
Scoville, Guiteau's counsel, had an inter-
view with R. I. Merrick, of the district bar
to-day, and endeavored to obtain the services
of that gentleman as leading counsel of the
defense of Guiteau. Merrick declined to con-
meet himself with the case for defense, giving
various reasons, among Others an over pres
sure of business in other directions. He also
informed Sceville even if his business per-
mitted he would not defend Guiteau.

TRAPPED BY FIRE.
Two Hundred Men and Women Have a
Narrow Escape From Cremation.

Narrow Escape FROM Cr6ndtIOn.
New YORK, Oct. 10.-Two hundred men
and women were at work this morning in Carl
Upman's cigar factory, 5l2 and SID East
Seventeenth street, when the cry of "fire"
rang through the house. The factory forms
the west end of huge five-story brick that
embraces numbers 512 to $40, and in the east
half Of which is a curled hair mandatory,
carried on by Mellen & Co. The cry of fire
came from the engine room on the ground
floor. In minute, almost before the terrified
workmen on the upper floor could recover
from their first fright, the flames leaped up
ward and spread with frightful rapidity
through every story. Soon frantic excite
ment and terror followed. Women shrieked
and fell fainting at their benches, and
men ran wildly about. A majority
were on the second and third floors, and many
were on the fourth and fifth Those on the
latter made q rush for the fire escape, but
found their exit in this way was cut off by the
flames. No chances offered them of escape by
the stairway, but eventually they all got out
by the scuttle on the roof of the hair factory
the last one reaching it just as the flames rose
above the roof Of the doomed building. The
workmen on the lower floor were marshaled
with no little difficulty, and sent down stairs
to the street by their superintendent, force be-
ing required to prevent disaster. AS it was,
the exit was managed most skillfully, not one
of the 200 employees being hurt. The en-
ployes, however, lost all their tools and what
ever property they had in the building beyoud
what clothes they wore. The loss is 100000,
with an insurance of SS0,00O.

CHRISTIANCY DIVORCE.

The Discarded Wife Testifies to the Indig-
mites Heaped Upon Her by tho Ex-Sen-
ator and His Hopeful Sons.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-In the hearing be-
fore the examiner to-day, In the Christiancy
divorce suit, the direct testimony of Mrs.
Christiancy was continued. She testified that
Christiancy took her to his home, March Z.
In the summer of 1876 the party consisted of
himself and five sons, four grown, the other 8
years of age. About two years of
her married life was spent in
Michigan. During that time she had charge
of the house, and with the exception of the
services of an inexperienced servant girl Is
years old, she performed all the household
duties, including mending her clothes. The
youngest son, George, was very kind to her
and they grew quite fond of each other. The
others were kind enough when sober, but all
were addicted to drinking. When intoxicated
they would quarrel with themselves and their
father used low language and had frequent
brawls. She protested against being COM
PEELED to that kind of a life and wanted the
house separated from her husbands SONS,
which he had promised to provide, but never
did. She never said she would geta divorce
if their were no grounds, would get up
some. unless at q time when
she was indignant at the treatment received.
She did not believe in divorce. When she left
Peru she didn't intend to apply for divorce.
Although Christiancy refused to provide for
her she did not think of doing 80 until after
he applied for divorce from her on the
ground of adultery. After she returned home
from Peru she said nothing about what oe-
CURED there except TO her own family. She
kept from the public the fact that they had
separated and athe cause of it, and did not
make it public until compelled to do so by the
petition for divorce, even if he continued to
refuse to support her.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Oct. 10.-The weekly Medical Co.
sette publishes communications from men,
bers of the ambulance service of Algeria and
Tunis, complaining bitterly of the want of Or
ganization in sanitary arrangements of the ar
my. It states Lammamet was evacuated be-
cause of sickness. The soldiers on landing
found themselves without blankets, water,
bread, wine or medicine. The garrison at Kef
for three whole months had neither drugs,
surgical appliances, nor ambulances,
and the officers had at last to buy
all they needed themselves. Typhoid
fever and dysentery worked fearful
havoc among the troops. The sufferers lay
baking in tents in temperature of fifty-nlne
degrees centigrade, and the fearful truth being
made known in France, the war Office abso-
lutely refused to allow the convalescents to be
sent home. Meanwhile, official ispatches
declared the health of the troops was excel
lent. The minister of war himself wrote the
ambulance organization was perfect, and
Roustan positively stated month ago the
whole French mortality in Tunis since the
beginning of the campaign would not exceed
200 to 300.

The liberal policy adopted by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway company has
always made it the popular line with travellers
and now they have again shown their hand

waukee, Chicago, or points East and South,

sippi, with its grand and beautiful scenery,
will be the favorite with the travelling public,
and the Milwaukee & St. Paul company will
find it's splendid passenger trains well patron

the credentials to committee and an effort to
elect secretary before admitting them. 1t is
believed the Republicans will obstruct this by
every means in their power. The opinion is
general among the Republicans that Bayard,
will be allowed 10 remain president pro
tenn. until the opening of the regular session
when David Davis will JOIN to elect Anthony.
THE sEcRETARYsHIP.
Meantime no secretary will be elected. Mr.
Edmunds explains his desire that senator
should call the senate to order to-day instead
of the chief clerk arose from an
unwillingness that if an extended debate should
occur. senators would be obliged to address
an employe of the senate. He did not think
it seemly if the chief clerks duty had been
merely to hear and put motions that some
senator should be elected president pro tenn.
The official would have answered all purposes,
but as debate was to occur previous to elect
ing the president pro tempore the opinion was
unanimous that senator should be in the
chair.
FURTHER CAUCUsSING.
Immediately after the adjournment of the
senate to-day the Democratic members held a
caucus, lasting till after p. m. The ques.
tion of admitting the three new senator's, after
considerable discussion, was disposed of tenn
porarily by the appointment of committee
to examine their credentials, as well as to con-
slider the protests of Democratic senator's of
the New York legislature against
the admission of Lapham and
Miller The committee is Senators Jones
and Mcpherson. At the Republican caucus
tomorrow morning decision will probably
be made whether the New York senators shall
be sworn in at once, or their credentials re-
ferred TO a committee of the senate for investi-
CATION. The caucus also, after several ballots,
nominated s. G.. Washington as candidate
for the secretaryship. No decision was
reached on the subject of electing secretary
tomorrow.
CABINET CHANGES.
Various rumors are current tonight with
regard to the impending changes in the
cabinet. It is the general belief the President
will have new or partly new set of advisors
before congress meets in December. Nomina-
tons will likely at any time be sent the Sen
ate. Secretary Window desires to be relieved
at the Presidents earliest convenience, and he
told prominent Republican senator to-day
the President had promised his successor
within the next hour. Judge Folgcr of the
New York court of appeals is mentioned as
successor of Window.

A Governor in Danger of Impeachment

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 10.-In the criminal
court of independence, Mo-, the attorneys for
VIM. Ryan, recently convicted of train rob-
berry, made an amended motion for new trial,
in which Gov. Crittenden is charged with ap-
pearing in court on the last day of the trial
with an armed posse, which had the effect of
prejudicing the jury. A good deal of excite
ment prevailed, and the court room was
crowded with people, If the motion is grant
ed and the charges sustained, it is stated the
governor is liable to indictment or impeach-
ment for malfeasance of office, while on the
other hand, if the motion is not sustained,
Ryan's attorneys will be liable to indictment
for perjury.

ALBANY, Oct. 1O.-A.large number.of dele
gates to the Democratic state convention, and
many of the prospective candidates have ar
rived. The Tammany and Irving hall delega-
cations are regarded as contestants Dy tne
state convention, and the county delegation
will be placed on the list as regular. 1t is un-
derstood Music hall has been hired for the
Tammany hall delegation, to be usedin case OF
a bolt.
The Tammany hall delegates to the Demo
cratic state convention, the delegates OF the
county Democracy and delegates OF the Irving
hall Democracy, marched with contingents
to their respective hotels, as they arrived to-
day. Tammany had the largest line OF the
county Democracy, and won the loudest ap-
plause.
JOHN KELLY.
When John Kelly reached the city he was
told there was strong opposition to the admis-
sion to the convention of the Tammany delega-
ton. He responded he was not disappointed.
Tammany came to the convention, as in duty
bound, leaving the convention to take the
responsibility of their exclusion. In reply to
question as to whether Tammany woaid
hold a separate convention, he said that would
not be done. Tammany would return to
New York, absolved from supporting the
ticket made here, but it would nominate and
support it's own local ticket. They wanted
recognition. If they couldn't get that, then
the party of the State could lay no claim to
their votes or support.
REJECTING TAMMANY.
The state committee went into session this
evening to make up a roll of delegates and Sc
lect temporary chairman. Jno. Kelly, men,
ber of the committee, objected to the county
Democracy delegation being placed on the roll.
The committee overruled the objection. Tam
manyites this evening say they will support
the state ticket and should not
ask a single nomination on it. 1t is
said they will unite with Irving hall
on local tickets and run it against that Of the
county Democracy with view of showing
they can cast the most votes, hoping in that
way to convince the rural Democracy they
will have made mistake In ruling them out.
A careful canvass shows there are but twenty
four rural delegates in favor of admitting
Tammany.
