Guiteau's Brother.in.Law.

George Scoville, of Chicago, brother-in-
law of Guiteau, the assassin, has published
a letter in the Tribune of that city, in which
he declares that District Attorney Cork
hill and the guards over Guiteau are all in
sympathy with u mob spirit that would
kill the prisoner. Scoville adds "The
Presidents case has found no more sincere
grief in any hearts than in our family, in
tensified as it had been by the reflection
that all this suffering and sorrow have been
caused by the insane freak of a worthless
vagabond who would have blessed the
world by his death many years ago, and
yet who carries the lineaments and speaks
with voice that connect us back to an
angel mother and sainted father"

The second operation which DIR. Gross, of
Philadelphia, was to have performed Mon
day on Senator Hill, Of Georgia, was post
poncd, owing to the heat of the weather.
The Senator left the Continental Hotel on
Sunday evening and took up his quarters
in Jefferson College Hospital where he
still remains. A fungus growth in the
Senator's mouth was operated upon by DR..
Gross about seven weeks ago, which re-
lieved Mr.. Hill of all Inconvenience. DIR.
Gross considers it necessary to perform a
second operation in order to remove the
growth entirely, for if allowed to remain in
its present condition it may, in the future,
become exceedingly painful and dangerous.
Senator Hill looks remarkably well, and
says he never enjoyed better health in his
life

Charged with Obstructing a streel

James l.. Barbour, of the firm of Barbour
& Hamilton, merchants on the avenue, was
up before Judge Smell to-day charged with
permitting the teams of the firm to be
driven over the paved footway on street
in rear Of their store and keeping their
wagons standing and obstructing other mer-
chants on that street in their business.
There were alarge number of witnesses ex-
amined, and the point in the. case seemed to
turn upon the fact whether or not an I'M
necessary time was consumed in the un-
loading and loading of the teams to the
interruption of the business of their neigh
bors. Mr.. Eugene Carusi, who appeared
for the defendants, claimed that the Engi-
neer-C Commissioner for the District had
granted Barbour & Hamilton the right to
use the space mentioned for the loading and
unloading of their wagons, and that this
information had been made by the very
parties who had granted the permission to
use the space. He said also that as the
license to use the space was revertable there
was no necessity for bringing Barbour &
Hamilton before the Police Court. Judge
Smell concluded to continue the case until
hearing could be had before the District
Commissioners. UI

Tne Plumbing OI bne EXECUTIVE NHHtts

At the request Of Col. A. +. Rockwell, in
charge of public buildings and grounds, an
examination has been made by Col. George
L. Warning, jr., the eminent sanitary engi-
neer, of Newport, II. l., of the drainage and
sanitary condition of the Executive Man
sion. 1t had been i'm contemplation for
some months by Col. Casey, previous to his
being relieved BY Col. Rockwell, to make
extensive alterations in the plumbing of
the Executive Mansion, and with that
object in view he had procured compre-
hensive recommendations with estimates of
= cost from wcll-known plumbing firm OF
this city, intending to make the improve
ments as soon as the Mansion should
be vacated for the summer months
The newspaper criticisms upon the sani-
tary condition of the Executive Man
sion having been very severe, Col.
Rockwell, upon assuming charge, deter
mined to have thorough examination
made by Col. Warning, who is considered an
authority upon sanitary matters, and whose
> opinions and recommendations would there
fore have great weight. Col. Warning has
Just submitted report of his examination,
and from the following extract taken from
it it will be seen that the condition OF the
plumbing and drainage of the Executive
4 mansion Is hoo nearly 30 u'u 10 wv Oli. -.

much less unsafe condition than current
reports would lead one to expect. So far as
exposed to view, the workmanship of the
= plumbing within the house seems to be
reasonably good. The arrangement of the
various soil pipes and waste-pipes is such as
is usual where the construction has been
added to from time TO time as occasion re-
quired and as different plumbers suggested.
Much of it is defective--not q little of II
radically so. Considered as u whole, while
they are free from some defects often found
in the better class of houses in our cities

Mansion do not conform to what are now
accepted as the necessary sanitary require

Col. Warning then gives in detail his recon
mendations for such improvements as seen
