MRS. GARFIELD.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Soon after
General Garfield was brought to the
White House dispatch containing
intelligence of his injury was sent
to Mrs. Garfield at Long Branch
and her return TO the city requested.
She responded that she was coming
ut once and desiring to know the
extent of the injuries. TIE road
was at once cleared for her train,
which consisted of a special engine
and a ear placed at her disposal,
and in very few minutes she, in
company with her children, Major
Swain, and Mrs. Rockwell was ON
her way hither. All day long her
coming was watched for with intense
anxiety, and frequent kilograms
notified the people of her where
abouts all along the road. About 5
p. m. people began to turn their
steps toward the b & o. depot, and
long before o'clock about fifteen
hundred persons, including many
ladies, thronged the streets about
the building and waited inpatient
ly for the special train that bore Mrs.
CARTEL and party.
SIXTY NILES Az HOUR.
The Presidents son and Colonel
Corbin visited the telegraph office
in the second story Of the depot
and sent telegram urging that the
speed of the train be accelerated to
sixty miles an hour, so that the dis
tresscd wife might reach the bedside
of her husband before the hand of
death was laid upon him. 4 little
later Corbin and young Garfield,
pacing uneasily the long platform
within the depot where the trains
unload their human freight, waited
and watched for the smoke of the
expected locomotive, and with diff
ficulty controlled their impatience,
when telegram annouifced that
the special engine had broken a
part of her machinery at Bowie
Station. Another engine was sup
piled. and at $50 the Pullman car
bearing Mrs. Garfield and party
rushed into the depot, The Presi-
dents carriages were rapidly brought
within the depot enclosure, and the
ear had scarcely stopped when Mrs.
Garfield appeared upon the plat
form. and, escorted by Gen. Swain,
quickly stepped into the carriage.
The remainder of the party follow
ing. Her sorrowful and tear-stain-
cd features were unveiled and elo-
quently expressed the deep emo
ton that by force of win was other
wise concealed. The only voice of
distress was n sob and a halt-smoth-
cred scream from within the car
when the train suddenly stopped.
Colonel Corbin desiring to avoid the
thronc, caused the carriages to be
driven around by the old armory
and through the Smithsonian and
Agricultural Department grounds
TO the south front of the White
House. The route WAS smoota and
free from obstruction by vehicles,
and at rapid gallop the fine horses
brought the party to their sorrow
ful destination within a few min
