Mrs. Garfield.
A TRUE HEROINE.

Especial Dispatch to The Sentinel.I
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Mrs. Gar
field has behaved admirably She has
displayed strength Of character who'll
ly unexpected by everybody. She has
exercised selfcontrol that ELECTS the
ecomium of all by whom she is sur
rounded. After her private interview
with her husband she summoned Doc
ter Bliss to private apartment and
had conference of half an hour with
HIM. At the very start she told him
that she wished to here nothing but
the truth respecting her husband S
condition; that she was prepared for
the worst, and knowing that the inevi-
table must occur, she, like the Presi-
nent, was prepared in Christian
sTirit to submit to the voice of God
and to bear whatever might occur with
the fortitude and resignation at her
command. DR.. Bliss then detailed
the Presidents symptoms and entered
into full history of the case from
the moment the President came under
his treatment, which was within ten
minutes after the shooting.
Mrs. Garfield listened calmly.
There was not tear in her eye. In
speaking of her conduct during the
interview, Dr. Bliss enthusiastically
said: eff there ever was true
heroine, Mrs. Garfield has proved her
self one of the noblest in romance or
reality

Garfield's Mother.
RECEIVING THE NEWS.

CLEVELAND, July 3.-News Of the
shooting of the President was broken
to his mother this forenoon, at Scion.
She had been so much overcome by
the fatal accident which resulted in the
death Of Thos. Garfield and Mrs.
Arnold that the family had kept from
her the intelligence Of the attempted
assassination, but this morning she
felt better and spoke of attending Mrs.
Arnold's funeral which took place at
Bedford to day. tn announcing her
intention she remarked, 'sLast Satur-
day Thomas was buried. To-day
Cornelia. [ wonder who it will be
next Sunday"
Mrs. Trowbridge, at whose house
Mrs. Garfield was, then sent for Mrs
Larrabee, another daughter. When
the latter arrived Mrs. Garfield inquir-
ed if she was going to Mrs Arnold's
funeral. Mrs. Larrabee replied that
she guessed she could not as something
had happened, so the sisters thought
it best not to 90.
"What has happened 20 inquired
Mrs. Garfield.

mother.
"Nc. He was shot by an assassin,
but he was not killed." replied the
daughter.

Mrs Garfield.
Mrs. Larrabee assured her mother
that the latest reports were favorable
and showed that the President was
resting quietly and in fair way to
recover.

queried Mrs Garfield.
Yesterday noon, but we thought
best not to tell you. The news was

reply.

was resting and feeling easier the
Dr's. say if inflammation does not set
in for As hours there is hopes of his
recovery. They sent to New York
for Dr. Hamilton who arrived in Wash
ington at 4 o'clock this A. NJ. and to
Philadelphia for DR.. Angus who ar
rived in Washington at six o'clock
A. NJ. by fast special train. They
have as yet made no examination of
his condition and until after they have
done so it is difficult to tell how his
condition is. Mrs. Garfield his wife
is with him. They request that the
4th of July be celebrated according to
his condition.
The general impression and fear is
that Gitteau will be mobed He is
in the hands of the authorities at
Washington. They suppress the feel
ing of mob rule and hope that the
law may take its course. There are
a great many ideas as to who may be
the instigators of so rash deed and
they hope it may turn out that Gilleau
was crazy or mad.

His Assassin Fails to AC-

But Shoots His Victim In

the shooting of President Garfield
The news reached our city at 10
o'clock Saturday that President Gar
field had been shot twice and was
dead The telegram came in course of
half an hour saying he was not dead,
and they had hopes of his recovery.
The sum and substance of the shoot
ing is about as follows: At $50 A. NJ.
Saturday the President in company
with Senator Blaine road down from
the Executive Mansion to the Wash
ington and Baltimore railroad depot.
They alightcd from the carriage and
walked the platform, and while walk
ing across the platform Mr.. Gitteau,
Attorney at Law, from Chicago, shot
him twice The first ball took effect
in the right shoulder. The second
entered the right side between the
tenth and eleventh ribs, passing
through the lower lobe of tie Liver,
into the abdomen Lawyer Gilleau
gave himself up and said his object
was to make Vice President Arthur,

Candidates for Governor.

The Sunday Pioneer Press of June
26, devotes two columns to Badger
Barkises," giving interviews with
representative men in Wisconsin on
the present outlook of politics, and
under head of prominent candidates
has the following to say about our
Senator Thos. B. Scott:
PROMINENT CANDIDATES.
Those most prominently named in
connection with The nomination for
governor are Thomas B. Scott of Grand
Rapids, a banker, lumberman and
railroad director, who has been five
times elected to the State senate. He
is man of good business capacity,
quiet but shrewd politician. Hans B.
Warner of Pierce county, the present
very popular and efficient secretary of
state, who served as private soldier
IN the late war, is being brought for
ward by the soldier element In the
party, an element, by the way, that is
quite powerful in Wisconsin at the
present time. James NJ. Bingham of
Chippewa Falls, the present lieutenant
governor, and an able man who was
also soldier, is prominently mention
ed and has good backing, but it is safe
to say that it the governorskip goes to
the eighth congressional district, Scott
and not Bingham, will be the lucky
man. 1t is due to Mr.. Scott to say
that he has said to several intimate
friends that his business requires his
entire attention, and that he cannot
afford to take the nomination, but they
insist that he will make the sacrifice.
and that in spite of his protestations
That he is anxious to give his undi-
vided attention to the vast business
under his control, [ am we'll satisfied.
Ex-senator Charles M. Webb of Grand
Rapids, who is as close to Mr.. Scott
as any man in the State, was In the
city last week. He was asked:
Do you think Scott means what he
says when he declares that he desires
to pay strict attention to business for
the next two or three years, and that
he does not want the nomination for
governor?
I don't think about it; l know he
means it.
Bo you think he would take the
nomination if the convention tenders
it? [ think he would know he
would. He is loyal to his party and
his friends. If his friends insist upon
his taking the nomination he will make
the sacrifice. You can depend upon
that, and our part of the State will
insist. Scott has resorted to all man
ner of schemes to avoid going to the
senate the past four years. Last year
he went to a man in Grand Rapids,
after he found that the convention was
determined to lun him again, and told
him that if he would take the nomina-
ton he would decline to touch it, and
besides would bear the campaign ex-
penses, and give him suitable sum
for his services at Madison. The
friend declined, and Scott made the
sacrifice. There is not truer ma or
better Republican in Wisconsin.

daughters had been peculiar toward
her during yesterday. She bore up
under the Intelligence with much
fortitude. She was shown the dis
patches received from Mayor Swain,
Secretary Judd, and Harry Garfield,
one from the latter reading as follows:
WASHINGTON July 8 Mrs. Eliza
Garfield, Scion: Thank God he lives
this morning, and the doctors are very
hopeful. He has been perfectly him
self all the time.
HARRY 4. GARFIELD.
She read the dispatches calmly and
said: How could anybody be SO
cold-hearted as to want to kill my
baby" In general conversation she
wondered,
WHAT rs COMING NEXT,
and inquired what will be done with
the assassin. On some one saying
Hang him !" she answered he de-
serves it,
She does not contemplate going to
Washington unless sent for, thinking
she will be telegraphed for if neces-
sary to SO Oh. 1t being remarked to
her that the news continues to grow
favorable she said: 81 am glad to
here it, but | am afraid we are hoping
against fate. 1t seems terrible"
This afternoon she dictated the fol.
lowing dispatch to her grandson.
Harry A. Garfield, Executive Man
sion, Washington:-The news was
broken to me this morning and
shocked me very much. Since receiv-
ing your telegram [ feel much more
hopeful. Tell James that [ here he
is cheerful and [ am glad of it. Tell
him to keep in good spirits aad accept
the love and sympathy of mother,
sisters and friends.
