news and details came in, and there were
hearty cheers and congratulations as it
was announced the Presidents
condition was favorable. Said

There are many recollections OF Chas.
J, Guiteau, which is his correct name,
who lived here several years and acquired
an unenviable reputation. He was at
one time on the point of marriage with
an estimable young lady on the south
side. His character became known just in
time to prevent such calamity to the
lady and her family. Guiteau left town
Immediately after this for some months.
One gentleman remarked, 81 remember
Guiteau well. He was here two or three
years ago and seemed to have no visible
means of support He preached
or lectured on religious and
he was an enthusiast. He started in here
as lawyer, but failed utterly and then
tried to lift himself into notoriety by lee
turing on religion one evening In each
week. His card IN the newspapers is pro-
duced to-day and is literary curiosity
He bored the newspapers by trying to get
his manuscript printed. He failed also
as lecturer and then began life as a
tramp of the more respectable order. He
was branded by the Hotel Keepers
association as dead beat.
In appearance he is an American of
French extraction, thirty-five to forty
years old, medium height, slender build,
fair complexion, brown hair, French
shaped mustache and beard tinged with
gray. His whole appearance is that OF a
dandified man of small mental calibre.
He was unusually fond of notoriety, and
would go almost any length to get his
name in the papers. He was arrested
here once for embezzlement. He got the
idea in his head that he was fit for official
position, and has been trying with all his
power to get consulate at Mar
settles. He has sandy complexion and is
slight, weighing not more than l25
pounds. He wears mustache and light
chin whiskers, and his sunken cheeks,
and eyes far apart from each other, give
him sullen, or as an official described,
ga loony appearance" The officer in
question gave it as his opinion that
Guiteau is a Chicago communist, and stat
ed that he has noticed it to be peculiar
ity of nearly all murderers that their eyes
were set far apart, and Guiteau he SAID
proves no exception to this rule.

The Rev. e. Tearle, Gazely Vicarage,

that a very rare Species of gull Harus

hood. The severe weather round the
coast seems to have driven 1t inland, but
had not prevented it from obtaining a
supply of food, as when shot it was very
plump and in beautiful plumage. The

The Ne,cs i,a st. PAID.

The first announcement of the shooting of
President Garfield was received in this city
about $50 A. NJ. 1t was received with ncre-
dulity at first, but when the GLOBE hung out
a bulletin announcing the fact there was no
longer doubt of its truth. Crowds gathered
in the vicinity of the GLOBE office and dis
cussed the situation gravely. There was but
one expression-that of regret and indigna-
ton that so causeless an attempt upon the life
of the President had been made.
When the first extra GLOBE was issued,
the people eagerly snatched them up and
perused the contents with interest. Opin
ions were divided On the motive of the
deed-the assassin not being then known.
A few were inclined to attribute the as
sault to the Vaccinations of the stalwart
or Conkling faction of the Republi-
can party, but these were soon
ridiculed out of their opinions.
Intelligence as to the event was eagerly
sought, and large crowds besieged tho
center of news at the GLOBE. The bulle-
tins received were displayed promptly,
and each indication of an Improvement in
the Presidents condition was received
with tokens of intense satisfaction. The
second extra of the GLOBE was exhausted
within half an hour, and yet citizens
thronged the Office seeking for more par
ticulars. When, at 4o'clock, the third ex-
ira of the GLOBE appeared, announcing
the sinking condition and probable
speedy death of the President, there was
a general expression of sincere sorrow
and the excitement greatly increased. The
Indignation against the wOuld-be muir
derer of the chief magistrate of the re-
public was intense, and had he been with
in reach he would, without donbt, have
been hanged to the most convenient
lamp post.
Among those who visited the GLOBE
Office in quest Of news there was
but one opinion. Democrats and Repub- |
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1881-07-03

that the President lives, and if
the sun goes down tonight
with the assurance that the great calam-
ity has been averted, Independence Day
will be celebrated to- morrow with renew
ed zeal and feeling that by the aid of
Divine Providence the glori-
Gus Declaration of over a
century ago has builded Republic which
is beyond the power of assassins or in

ALL talk of political conspiracy at

Excavations and curses were heaped on
