AN ABORTIVE ATTEMPT TO SLAY GUI-
TEAU.-While Guitcau was ON his way
back to Jail Saturday afternoon an un-
known man, mounted on horse, rode up
to the side of the van in which the assassin
was confined and shot at him through the
wooden side of the vehicle. The ball cut
a hole in the ltf sleeve of Guiteau's coat
and grazed the skin Of his left arm.
As soon as the shot had been fired, Gui-
teau, who had been standing in the for
ward end of the vehicle looking out of the
little window with his hands on the graf
ing, asked Policeman Edelin if he had
been hurt. The policeman replied that he
was unharmed and asked the prisoner il
the bullet had hit him, and was told
that he had not been touched. Guiteau
says that for some time he did not
know that he had been touched. The
hole in his coat led him to make q
;urther examination, and the abrasion OF
his left arm was discovered After ahan
lOning the pursuit of the horseman the
van continued on its way to the jail, where
| Guitcau was examined by a physician
! The attempt to shoot Guiteau created
! intense excitement throughout the city
! Guiteau was terribly frightened, anC
! scanned each new arrival as if 'lreadin,
another attempt upon his life. On reach
! inc his cell he begged the warden not t.
allow any strangers to see him during tn
night. Soon after Guiteau had gone t
his cell Mr.. and Mrs. ScOville called an,
had talk with him. and later ON hi
brother called.

Mr.. Sparks, from the Committee on Mil
tsry reported adversely the bill to
place General Grant on the retired list.
Mr.. McCook presented q minority re-
port, which, with the bill, WAS referred

sharp Girls.

A couple of girls, going through the
city collecting hair combings, act in
such a suspicious manner as TO lead TO
the oonclu usion that they are not strict.
" honest. A lady In the western part
OF the city, some two years ago, gave
her hair combings TO two girls to be
made into a switch, but when the
switch was returned II did not contain
half the combings she had given the
girls. Yesterday morning two girls
again called for the same purpose when
the lady again gave them her combings
in 3 paper bag. The lady afterwards
thought that they were the same girls
who had come the "sharp" over her
two years ago, and starting out over
hauled them coming out Of q neigh hor's
house. She told them that upon re.
Election she had concluded not to have
her hair made into q switch at the
present time, and requested the return
OF her hair. One Of the girls said she
had Just sent her hair home by her
sister. The lady, however, jerking q
bundle from under the arm OF one OF
the girls, opened 1t, and there found
her bair. The girl said 1t was the
hair of another woman, but the lady
put an end to the dispute by undoiog
the parcel, and there found her name
on piece OF paper attached to the
hair. 1t would be well enough for
those having hair to dispose Of to keep
watch on such sharp girls.

Following the report OF Col. Macomb
is one from William Ludlow Captain
Engineers, Brevet Lieutenant Colonel
U. s. A. showing the cost ofa proposed
improvement Of the navigation of the
Christiana river, on the basis OF 10
feet low water mark chanpel of suitable
width within the limits Of the survey.
Captain Ludlow in his report refers to
the difficulty Of making any perma'
nent improvement SO long a. the river
ia allowe cd to become receptacle OF the
drainage of the city. He says: with
regard to those causes Of injury termed
" preventable," now actively at work
to neutralize the public and private et'
forts to improve the navigation, the
most obvious, and at present the most
serious, are the defective sewer and
drainage systems Of Wilmington, which
In effect make the Chris.iana q cesspool
for the reception of all the street v ash.
ings, sewer deposits, waste and hlth OF
a city of over 10000 inhabitants and
large manufacturing Industries"
In order to make the improvements

complete success and as covering the
essential features Of the case he recon-
mends the following:
l. The procuring Of snactments for
bidding, under penalties, the thro Iing
or depositing OF any solid matter in
the river.
NEARLY ali tide.watsr States and cit
les have such laws. Those ofPenpysl-
vania, New Jersey and Baltimore are
good models).
2. The creation Of local authority to
take cognizanoe of all matter pertaining
to the navigation, with legal powers to
enforce the laws and collect penalties.
These bodies in other cities are pilot
or harbor commissions or port wardens
generally with powers derived from the
State.
| 8. That the city Of Wilmington be in
cluded within the operation of these
laws, and required to construct such
drainage and sewage works as akall
prevent solid matter from reaching the
river through its outlets.
4. That manufacturers be required to
adopt the same precautions.
S. that lines be adopted called wharf,
harbor or port.warden lines, for both
banks Of the river, and into the Della
ware, above and Oslow the mouth
controlling the construction, direction
and limits Of all structures, present or
future, which extend beyond the high
water mark into the stream, including
dykes.
Captain Ludlow thinks that if such
steps be taken as shall protect the nav
igation Of the Christiana from present
and future injury, its available depth
can be increased from IL to Is feet at
low wafer, ct reasonable cost, and be
hereafter maintained. The economic
vAlfe OF q navigation is calculated by
engineers to vary with the cube Of it's
depth. Its increase, therefore, from
II to Is feet, will nearly double Its
value. and the expense Of doing this
according to the estimate Is less tEan q
per cent. Of the present annual value
Of river freights, estimating these at
Sl3, 900, 900.
After the reading Of the reports,
which were accepted the following res
olution offered by e. T. Walton was
adopted:
Resolved, That's copy Of the report of
the committee bssent % the City Coun-
Gil, with the request tb at Council give
the necessary assuran GO, at tho ealiest
practicable time, To Col. Ludlow that
suitable traps will be constructed by
the city to prevent the street sewage
from reaohing the Christinis and Bran
DIVINE rivers.
Resolutions Of thanks were directed
to be sent to Colonel Mscomb and Cap
tain Ludlow for their reports, and :on
motion OF Captain Alexander Kelley the
committee was instructed to press the
matter upon the attention Of the City
Council. The assessment Of the mem
bsrs was fixed at %. and the Secretary
Of the Board was allowed al annual
salary of $25.
A very valuable chart Of the Chris
tians prepared by Colonel Macom6 was
highly commanded by Mr. Warner for
its accuracy.

Fair HRVRn-

Special Agent Smith, of the Postoffice de- par! ment, visited the Fair Haven postofice Wednesday and had a talk with people over the river with aregard to the desire for a branch office there.
 One little Fair Haven East girl takes the cake as picture card collector as far as heard from, she having no less than eleven hundred and ten. Like little Oliver Twist, her desire is for ''more." Several little girls have 500 or 600, while girls with 200 are numerous. Girls with only 100 are out of the count.
 Owing to the pending annexation question the engine boys have suspended the work of adding to the attractions of Quinnipiac's house, which has recently been re-papered and re-decorated The plan of improvement included the adding of number of new pie lures to the picture department, but this matter is in abeyance, awaiting the news from Hartford
 Yesterday couple of colored women came across the Chapel street bridge to Farren avenue, both reeling and staggering and con- ducted themselves in riotous and unseemly fashion on the avenue. Finally becoming boisterous and beligerent no one seemed dis posed to fight with them, and finally com plaint was sent and they were arrested and confined in durance vile. They were ar raigned before Judge Bray later, and no doubt they were administered such punish ment as was necessary for the good of socie- tv
