GuiteauS Jail Life.

man who is. in his estimation, the greatest man
III the WOrld-Chas. j. Guteau. He eXDects to

He is now. it appears, quite anxious to have the
President live, several weeks of meditation in
Ja!l having convinced him that there is little
glory and less pleasure in being hanged A
gentleman who has had several opportunities
OF seeing him recently, said to n STAR reporter:
he is the neanest looking man ever saw and
he seems to grow meaner looking every time
see him. His features are regular enough but
there is hang-dog look about him that l never
saw about any other man. Such mean looking
eyes | never saw before. His pictures flatter
nin He looks just what he is-a beat Gui-
teau does not like the prison fare much He
wants to have his meals sent to him from the

THE ASSASSIN WRITES To JUDGE WYIIE ASKING
TO HAVE HIS BAIL FIXED AT 81 $50.
Guiteau recently wrote long letter to Judge
Wylie, who is now out Of the city, asking to be
admitted to bail. The letter discusses the case.
OF which he gives history. claiming that it is a
ballable case and also on the question of bail
he suggests that 81. 500 is sufficient. and ex-
presses the belief that if the court would fix the
amount at that sum he might be able to pro-
cure it.

The Mnrtlerels of Collector Drayton.

town intoxicated the merchants closed their
stores, reopening them as soon as he left the
place. It is thought that Mellow is still hiding
at Central, and that having no fears of convic-

render himself to the state authorities. The
latter have taken no action in the premises.
The difficulty in the way Of arresting Mellow In
any open manner arises principally from the fact
that the people, II not In sympathy with him,
fear him and consequently aie his friends. They
will protect and harb0r hin, and revenue officers
can expect to obtain little or no reliable informar

The Presidents Condition Last Night,
HIS REMOVAL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST ROOM.
About 5 O'Clock last evening the President
was moved back into his old quarters the room
in the meantime having been thoroughly venti-

good during the earlier part of the night. There
was moderate rise of fever in the afternoon.
but it was not regarded in any serious way by
the doctors. 1t was the first fever the President
had had in thirty-six hours. Shortly after
O'Clock the fever began to subside and the tenn
perature and pulse went down. 1t is supposed
that the cause of the fever was the clogging of
the drainage tube in the wound. The tube was
cleaned out and the flow of pus continued The

man who fled from Berlin as a revOlutionist

WHAT THE LONDON LANCET SAYS OF THE DANGER
OF Assesses WITH RISK OF BLOOD POISONING
LONDON. July 29.-This weeks L0nct. the
leading medical journal of London discussing
President Garfield's wound. says: Positions of
the dress may have been carried into the wound
and each abscess that forms is not only direct
source of danger from pain and fever and the
danger of its spreading deeply. but with each
there is fresh liability to blood poisoning. Ii is
quite impossible to feel any certainty that we
may not hear of another abscess or relapse and
it is of great Importance that the patients con-
stitutional vigOr should be maintained at as high
a pitch as possible. in view of future troubles
The absence of fever and of severe exhaustion
removes any cause for immediate alarm. but
until the wound is quite healed and the bullet
either removed or safely encysted. there will be
liability to recurring assesses, each attended
with the risk Of blood poisoning.
