| Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-At the Jail every
thing is exceedingly quiet and orderly. No
one has been seen in that vicinity except anxi-
Gus journalists, who, hearing She numerous
threats, have kept close watch of the build
ing. Various rumors of Iynching have been
in circulation since Gen. Garfield was shot,
but they have amounted to nothing. It was
thought that Guiteau would be taken to Long
Branch Immediately after the death of his vic
tim, for appearance before the coroner's in
quest, but this is not necessary. Col. Cork
hill says the laws of the district are ample and
cover the case. Guiteau has been informed of
the death of Gen. Garfield and the knowledge
has only added to his fears. He begged the
warden to protect him, which the latter prom
ised to do.

The day he was shot and the following Sur
day morning, just after the big crowd of doc
tors had cleared out, 1 was alone With the
general and DR.. Bliss. The doctor sat ca one
side of the bed and on the other. Gen. Gar
field had hold of Dr.. Bliss hanA, and tu"2ed
his head and asked me if knew when he Grst
saw Bliss. told him / did not, and he said
he would tell me. He SAID that when he was

lege at Hiram. He had just SIS. s
ten dollar bill in an old black leather pocket
book which was In the breast pocket OF his
coat, and the other five dollars in his trousers

coat and carried it on his arm, taking good
care to feel every moment or two for the
pocket book, for the hard earned fifteen do l.
lars was to pay his entrance fee at the college.
After a while he got to thinking
over what college life would be like
and forgot the pocket-book for
some time and when he looked again he found
it was gone. He went back mournfully
through the road, hunting on both sides for
it. After while he came TO house, where
young man was leaning over gate, and who
asked as he came up what he was
hunting for. Garfield explained his loss and
described the property, when the young man
handed it over. The president by this time
was laughing. and concluded, "That young
man was Bliss, wasn't it, doctors" The
doctor laughed and said "Yes,' and
when Gen. Garfield said, "He saved
me for college," answered eyes,
and maybe if 1 hadn't found your SIS you
wouldn't have been president of the United
States" The president laughed at that and
said if he got well and made any mistakes in
his administration Bliss would have to take
the blame.
