The Assassin's Trial.

The trial Of Guiteau, the assassin OF
President Garheld is now in progress
at WASHINGTON. Much interest is
shown over it, not only in Washington
but throughout the entire country.
The court room where the trial is held
is daily crowded to its utmost capacity.
There is a m orbid curiosity to see the
wicked man. VINO aSsaSSinated the
lamented President. Guiteau's strange
conduct during the trial thus far has
forfeited what little sympathy there
may have been for linn. His bound
less egotism and vanity, his violent an
ger, exceed, if possible, his utter deprayi
tY and wlckedneSs. He flies into fits Of
rage, scolds the witnesses, quarrelS with
lis lawyers and insults the Judge
Several times did Judge Cox threaten
to remove him for II is unruly conduct
and conduct the tlial in lis absence,
but this always COWS him and lie be
comes alittle m ore decent for time
He plays the crazy man TO perfection
but the general belief is that he is
more wicked TIL an insane. In fact he
is beginning to be considered prodigy
of depravity-a very tieud incarnate.
An exchange gives tie legal test Of
insanity when it is made plea of de-
fense in cri mInal prosecutions. If
these few plain rules are the law on the
question it would not seem difficult to
determine when a criminal is legally in
sane aud not accountable for his acts
Their application in Guteau's case will
clearly le ad TO the conclusion that his
insanity IS simply a sham. The tests
are these: Did The accuse d kn0,r the nd-
t,re Of has act' Did he kn0,C the oct to DC
criminal' Did he act lmder deI,tSi0n as
to some facts ,chich, SnppoSjng the fact to
erjst, ,rolld justify the act?

The LoriS6urg Chronicle serves the
following briet but pointed notice on
some of the Stalwarts-Boss-Machine
papers to stop abusing the Independ-
ents, lest they might be sorry for it.
We hope the $4,000 will take FnO more
'SdSS" from the Bosses but shake off
the CALLING Cameron yoke entirely:
Some Of the hot-headed Republican papers,
led by the Harrisburg Telegraph, have adopt
cd course well calculated to drive the Inde.
pendent voters outside Of the Republican camp
to return no more. This thing OF tantalizing
despising and denouncng over 10000 as in
telligent voters az the State ever produced,
may sound musical to Stalwart ears, but the
effect may be sadly felt next fall. When peO-
pie act conscientously in cause which they
deem just and necessary, they are in no humor
to calmly aud silently gulp the biting irony OF
victorious rival. III the Stalwarts really value
their room more than their company so be it.
But we give what we deem consistent warn
ing: II these $1,000 leave the Republican
camp, they will not go alone each man will
take his neghbOr; and 100000 votes out of the
Republican party will leave it in deplorable
condition. Better stop cursing this people, un-
til you are sure that they desere it.

Attempt to Shoot Guiteau.

\ second attempt was made to shoot
Gulteau on Saturday, while lie was
conveyed fro m the court room to Jail.
The occurrence is detailed by police
officer w. J. Edelin, who has been de-
tailed to accompany Guiteau from and
TO the Jail. Officer Edelin says they
left the court house about 2.40 p. m.
and moved at the usual pace down D.
street. lie noticed no one near the van
until opposite the Holmes house, d.
street and New Jersey avenue. Here
was man on horseback. He noticed
the horseman, because he had seen his
face in the court room and also sitting
on his horse near the City Hall. Rid
ing near the van, the stranger seemed
anxious to get look 1t the prisoner,
but Edelin said to him: "There'S moth
ing in there for you to see." With
this the h0rseman urned about and
Edelin, did not see him again until on
First street, near East Capitol street.
There he rode up from behind, and as
the van turned into East Capitol street,
he was on his left. Dropping behind
ne peered through the rear grating, and
evidently satisfying himself as to the
position of the occupant Of the van,
pushed his horse quickly to the left of
the van. From this point, and before
the officer could discover that he had a
pistol,he fired shot through the side of
the vehicle and then wheeled suddenly
back toward First street. Edelin, fired
at him. Without waiting to inquire
after the condition of the prisoner, the
van was started in pursuit Of the horse
mau, but time was lost in turning over
the car tracks on East Capitol street,
and the fugitive had too good q start.
The van pursued as far as X street,
down which the hOrseman fed, but he
was soon lost to sight.
When Guiteau was asked whether he
was hurt he only caught hold of his
left arm and was thus taken to his cell.
There reporter found him washing,
having just changed his shirt. There
were two holes in the left sleeve of his
coat, below the elbow, but neither the
sleeve of his shirt nor that of his I'M
dershirt we're injured. Cutting away
the sleeve of the latter it was found
that the conclusion from the ball, as
it passed through the coat sleeve, had
brought blood to the surface of the arm
just below the elbow, but there was no
rupture of the skin. DR.. McWilliams,
the assistant Jail physician, directed
applica tions of ice, and in few mo-
ments the prisoner had forgotten to at
tend to the injured limb.
A man that goes by the name of Bill
Jones was arrested in the evening, as
the fellow who shot at Guiteau, but
when soficer Edelin, was brought to
identify him he said to the officers and
reporters: Gentlemen, that is not
the man. [ should know the man a.
mong a million. I not only fail to
identify this man Jones as the man,
but I could swear tha the IS not the
man

that the republican party in Penn

Good Advice from a Leading Medical
Professor.

The learned doctor says: Keep some
kind of tonic medicine always in the
house, and if anyone feels unwelI make
free use of it. But first he sure that it
IS both harmless as well as meritorious.
Put no trust in alcoholic preparations
their use will lead to intemperance:
neither be partial to any remedy that
produces a severe cathartic effect. for
prostration of the nervous system and
digestive organs is sure to follow. The
mildest and best remedy ever invented
for Strengthening every part of the
body and restoring impaired or lost
organic functions to their normal con-
dition, aHi one which is having an un,
paralleled and rapidly increasing sale
in the Eastern States, is Browns Iron
Bitters- Any druggist will procure it
for you if you request him to do So.
especially when he finds you cannot be
persuaded to take some substitute. 1t
does not contain alcohol. and is the only
preparation of Iron that cures headache
and does not biacken the teeth. 1t is a
sure reyIyer, a sure strengthened, and
the very best medicine ever invented
for strengthening the pulmonary, urin-
arY and digestive organs, and prevent
ing consumption, kidney diseases and
chronic dyspepsia, often curing these
diseases when all other remedies have
failed; for it Is truly natures best as

a motion to dissolve an injunction in
this case was heard before Judge Goth
rem, at his Chambers, in Mineral Point.
and concluded on Wednesday. 1t APP
pears that the town Of Gratiot, LaFay-
cite county. in 1871 voted $4,000 aid to
the Eastern Lafayette and Mississippi

should be completed between Monroe
and GratiOt. In 1880 the town entered
into a contract with the r. Il. Co. to
subscribe TO capital stock in pursuance
of the vote of 1871, the sum of $4,000.
and issued its bonds for that sum and
deposited them with the secretary of
state, to be delivered when The road
should be completed between Monroe
and Shullsburg. The railroad not being
able to do the work itself. transferred
its interest and a portion of its fran
chise to the Chicago, Milwaukee and

completed the road between those
points, expected to receive the town
