THERE seems to be decided differ
ence of opinion with reference to the
guilt of the men arrested by the autroc-
tiles of Missouri, and experienced de-
.ectives claim that they are not the
perpetrators of the train robbery; but
the evidence will determine that here
after. 1t is matter Of congratulaton
that the officers have arrested anybody,
but railway travelling will be neither safe
nor pleasant in Missouri until the James
boys are Gagged.

against the rebel General Humphrey
Marshall. This command, after a Sc
ries of skirmishes and great deal of
marching, engaged the enemy in battle
at Prestonburg, January 9TH, 1862;
the contest was short and Sc
we're, but resulted in vic
tory for the union forces, which left the
,a.iion arms in bossesslon OF Tie II Whole
of Kentucky. The rebel less is given at
$50, while that OF the union forces was
only 80. This battle gave Gen. Garfield
promotion, and his commission as a
brigadier general Of volunteers, dates
from the battle of Prestonburg. Gen.
Garfield continued in the army of the
west, and took part in the battle of
Chickamauga, and for his conduct in
that battle was made major general
of volunteers. He was at that time
candidate for congress, having been
nominated by the republicans ofthe 10Th
Ohio district. At the election he was
elected and on the 5th of December,
1868, he left the army and entered
congress. He was placed on the COM
mittee on military affairs. For seven
teen years he remained in congress,
having been nine times elected by the
people of his congressional district.
His congressional life was one of prom
inence after short time and for sew
eral of the last years he was the leader
Of his party in the house. On the 14th
of January, 1880, Gen. Garfield was
elected to the United Stetes senate by
the legislature of the state of Ohio to
succeed Allen G. Thurman.
Congress adjourned in March, and
Gen. Garfield served until then as
member Of the house-Senator Thur
mans time not being out until the end
of that session. But Gen. Garfield was
not destined to occupy seat in the
senate. Before the meeting of congress
again, the republican national conven-
ton met at Chicago and on June Sth,
1880, after long contest between other
candidates, Gen. Garfield WAS nominat-
ed for the Office of president He re-
ceived on the 36th ballot 399 votes, to
BOG for Grant, AZ for Blaine, for Sher-
man anu 5 for Washburn. The demo-
Gratis nominated Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, and the canvass was one of
the most hotly contested in the history
of the country. The popular vote
stood: according to the best informa-
ton, Garfield. 4,441, ,1S4; Hancock,
4,425,12l; Weaver (greenbacker) 3022,-
S54; scattering, l0,606. Garfield re-
ceived 217 electoral votes and Hancock
152. Gen. Garfield was declared elect
ed, and on the 4th of March, 1881, he
was sworn into Office as president of
the United Stated, he having some
time previously resigned his position
both as member of congress and
United States senator elect. On the End
Of July, while at the Baltimore & Pa
tomac depot in Washington, waiting to
take train to Long Branch to see
sick wife, he received the fatal ball
from the pistol Of the assassin.

THERE are at the present time nearly
four hundred female physicians in ac-
tive practice in twenty-six States, the
majority Of them being residents of
New York, Massachusetts, and Penn

there were no women claiming to prac-

AS the smoke clears away from the
burned district of Michigan, the desola-
ton caused by the fire appears to be
more complete. Besides forests and
farms, about thirty villages and ham
lets have been more or less thoroughly
burned out, and the loss of life and
property is immense. Calls for relief
for the sufferers have been issued and
deserve immediate response from all
sections. There has seldom been more

Miss ANNA ELLA CARROLL, of Maryland.
was stricken with paralysis few days ago
and is now reported to be lying at tine
point of death near Baltimore. Miss
Carroll is about 60 years old, and at the
last session of Congress her claim for COM
pensation for valuable services was favora-
bly, reported upon by the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs. Miss Carroll
asserted that she was the author of an
effective plan adopted in 1861 by the COM
manders of the Union army for carrying
on the war in the Mississippi valley. The
committee say in their report that the
original plan provided for opening the
Mississippi river by descending it with
fleet of gun-boats, and that the plan was
changed so that the armies were d-
verted up the Tennessee river and
thence southwark, the new base being in
North Mississippi and Alabama. The
evidence convinced the committee that
Miss Carroll was the author of this change
of plan. She had made an investigation
and had submitted her views in writing to
Assistant Secretary of War Thomas A.
Scott. The committee added that the
foregoing statement had been confirmed
by President Lincoln, Secretary Stanton,
Hon. B. F. Wade, and many others, and
bill placing Miss Carroll on the
pension rolls as a recognition of her SER
vices.

q pleasantlooking Irishman, and at
one of the stations couple of evident.
ly well-bred and intelligent young ladies
came in to procure seats. Seeing none
vacant they were about to 60 into the
next car, when Patrick arose hastily
and offered them his seat with evident
pleasure. !" But you will have no seat

dies, with smile, hesitating, with true
politeness to accept it. Never mind

President Garfield Dead.

i,.:s:S7:s, ii 4; s., Sept. iaIi p. M
The president died at 1925 o'clock.
From what can be ascertained, his
deach was from exhaustion. Mr.. War
rem Young, assistant to Private Secre-
tary Brown, brought the news from the
cottage at ten minutes before eleven
o'clock.
The first Indication that anything Sc
rious had occurred was the appearance
of a messenger at the Elberon hotel,
who obtained q carriage and drove rap
idly off. 1t was supposed he had gone
to summon the members of the cabi.
net, who left here about $50 o'clock to.
night.
Attorney General McVeagh notified
Vice Presiden Arthur of the presi-
dents death.
AT THE DEATH BED.
New YORK, Sept, ia telegram
extra says: At the presidents bedside,
holding his poor emaciated hand in her
own, and watching with anguish unut-
terable the fast vanishing shreds of life,
sat the faithful, devoted wife, during
the closing hours of the presidents
career. Around him were other
weeping friends and physicians,
lamenting their powerlessness in the
presence of the dark angel of death.
Toward the last, the mind Of the sufferer
wandered. He was once more back
in Mentor,amid those scenes where the
happiest hours OF his life were spent.
He sat in the dear old home again
with loved ones around him-the aged
mother so proud of her boy;
the faithful wife, beloved chill
dren. 1t was blissful dream that
robbed death Of its terrors, and rem
dered the dying man for moment un-
conscious of the cruel rending of his
once vigorous frame, that was constant
ly going on. The moan of the
restless ocean mingled with the
sobs Of the loved ones, as the
lamp of life flickered and went out for
ever. Nearly every one around the
president clung to hope to the last, and
refused to believe the approach OF
death till the shadow deepened, and
the destroyer's presence could no
longer be unfelt.
Flags were hung at half-mast from
every house on Ocean avenue, and the
gaiety of this favorite watering place
is followed by the deepest gloom.

Young men, after they come out, are

it. The conduct last night was shame

deserving OF better treatment, and it is
hoped that these disordtrly persons
will either behave themselves or stay

TENNESSEE, OF all the States of the
Union, should be the last to raise the
flag of reputation. The Memphis Ap-
peal notes that since 1865 Tennessee has
acquired 400, 600 additional population
and has raised crops every year of the
annual net profit value of S27 800, 900.
Nashville, the capital has grown from
1900 population in 1860 to 5000 at
present. Memphis in spite of three epi-
denies and the war has grown from
$4,000 in 1860 to AZ 900 in 1881. The
growth of Nashville, Chattanooga,
Knoxville and other cities show like
gratifying increase. The advance in
manufactures and commerce is also
gratifying, having surpassed all com
putation. In the midst of her prosper.

IT IS A question whether the CITY
council las not been too hasty IN It's &C,
tion. refusing to accept the beds OF al
streets, by deeds to tie city before they
are graded and curbed. No doubt there
are mapy streets that are dear, given to
the city tor nothing, if it is expected
that the city by accepting such streets
is bound to grade and curb them, but
there are other meritorious cases that
are entirely cut off by this sweeping ac-
tion of the City Council. Wherever
improvements are in progress ana
streets are likely to be built ur, the
CITY Council should come to the aid OF
such improvements. but in cases where
the improvements in progress or IN con-
temptation will by their taxes pay the
interest of the money spent in grading
streets, it seems to us that exceptions
should be made in such cases. All that
is needed Is the exercise Off wise dis
cretion in the acceptance of street beds
We have no doubt however that the
City Council will wisely construe their
recent action to favor improvements
which add to the wealth of the city.

THE VETERANS are growing old.
Gray hairs and wrinkled brows take
the place of the raven locks and
ruddy countenauces Of twenty years
ago. General Merrill truthfnlly stated
last night that the Grand Army Of the
Republic unlike any other organization
could not recruit its ranks from the
youth of the land who have come upon
the stage of action since the war closed.
Only those with honorable discharges
from the army can be admitted as mem.
bers, and that class is gradually and
of necessity growing smaller every
