A STARTLING THEORY.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-There is a
theory which has many adhercnts that
the attempted assassination was not
the work OF lunatics but the result oi
a plot much deeper and darker than
has been suspected. 1t is stated in
support of this theory that Guitteau
arrived beforehand with hackman so
as to be ready for the president when
he arrived at the depot.
ALBANY, July 4.-Administration
men charge the stalwarts with actual
indirect responsibility for the murder
Of the president. 1t is expected that
some result in balloting will be reach
ed this.week.
THE FEELING IN GARFiELD's OLD DISTRICT
CLEVELAND, July 5.-At Chardon,
Geauga county, in tho heart of presi.
dent Gar6eld's old district, extensive
preparations had been made for an old
fashioned celebration, consisting of
barbecue, professions, races, etc.
From seven to ten thousand people
from Geaugl and adjoining counties
had gathered, bnt the demonstration
was abandoned and mass meeting
organized, addressed by j. Rodes of
Cleveland, who was chosen orator OF
the day, and Revs. Leroy and Paige.
All the speakers inhesitatingly ok
pressed the opinion that but for Conk-
ling's course the pied assassina-
tion would not have occurred; regretted
that Arthur's elevation to the presiden-
cy may be possible, and fearsd that the
worst elements of the republican party
were likely to 90 to the 'front.' These
sentiments appeared to be shared by oil
present.

very calm and collected, but intensely
pale.

New York, July "A reporter
called at the Fifth Avenue hotel this
morning about an hour after the re,
ception os the first dispatch and sent
his card to the room of Vice President
Arthur and ex-senator Conkling.
WORD was Immediately returned that
the subject of the Presidents assassina-
ton was too serious to be talked of in
moment, and neither would be seen
under any circumstances. The reporter
saw Conkling in the hallway near his
room few minutes after and
when asked his opinion Of the shooting
begged to be excused. 'eThe news has
found me SO nnprepared and over
whelmed with personal cares that it has
almosc stunned me. May God grant
that it may not be true. It is The most
terrible incident in our history since
that of Lincoln's assassination, but if it
is true may heaven help the country"
Conkling then turned away and went
to his room. as.a
A short time after the shooting, the
President was conveyed to the White
House in an ambulance A telegram

the latter got his seven Of the shade to fill.
There was a limit to the betting, however,

The young friends of T. F. Laycock, the
scenic artist, gave that accomplished gen.
tleman, q handsome farewell shake yes
terday morning. A crowd OF from ten to
fifteen, armed with every conceivable in
strument that would vex the drowsy ear OF
night, took the gentleman in tow and
marched him to the depot. where they left
him with cordial grips and deep emotion,
and returned to their homes as the cocks
were saluting the morn. Along the line Of
march, the residents, disturbed from their
SAUNDERS, labored under the impression

have been brought to a close through

The Ayaut Courier.

Charley Schultz, the advance agent Of
the Emelie Melville Opera Company, ar
rived from Salt Lake last evening. The
reporter Of the SENTINEL found him at the
Opera House at II o'clock, glancing at the
box sheets, and surrounded by Messrs.
Molinelli & Smith, the agents here, and
Mr.. Ryland. In answer to the reporters
questions, Mr.. Schultz said the mem bers
Of the company were all in excellent health
and voice when he left them, and that the
Mormons had gone perfectly wild over
their first performance, and before the
train left next day every seat in the vast
theater had been taken for the Royal
MILDLY. ''See here" suddenly remarked
the agent, "the SENTINEL only gave us
credit for having one prima donna in the
troupe. We have three, and they are
nightingales, every one of them" Mr..
Schultz has brought with him photographs
of every member Of the troupe, and has
placed a large frame of Miss Melville's pic
lures, representing the various characters
which she will enact here, behind the
Opera House bar, where they commanded
general admiration last night. The gen.
tleman is not a stranger in Eureka. He
was here a year or so ago, and feels quite
at home on the Base Range.

The Female ..pirates,, at salt Lake

The Tribune critic has also been cap
tured by Miss Melville's pretty bouffers.
In Wednesday mornings issue we find the
following notice of their first appearance at
the Salt Lake Theater, one Of the largest tenn
pies in the country: Miss Melville's heart
must have been thrilled with delight as
she looked out upon the throng which gave
her welcome to Salt Lake last night. Salt
Lakes most selected circles gave up volun-
teers-despite Of Lent-to pack the
theater. There was a double anxiety; first,
to hear the Melville Company, and second,
to hear the Pirates Of Penzance-the
younger brother Of Pinafore. The piece
was finely presented and conscientiously
performed. The music is better and worse
than that of Pinafore. 1t is OF a higher
order, and some of it is most exquisite, but
theb boys on the street will not whistle the
simpler airs with the JUNCTION which for
ever attaches to the Captain" 1.-The
Captains charming daughter" and dear
Little Buttercup." More than in Pinafore
the Star has to carry the burden of the
music in the Pirates. Miss Melville is
quite equal to any emergency OF the kind.
As Mabel she sang delightfully."- last night,
and more than once the audience, with up
roarious vehemence, called her back.
Alonzo Hatch as Frederic, bore off the
honors. He has a tenor voice of great
range and much sweetness, and received
many marks OF especial appreciation. Mr..
Henderson as the Pirate Chief was good,
so was Mr.. Valerga as his Lieutenant. Miss
Lilly Post as Kate received much applause.
Many others sang we'll. Mr.. Freeman as
Major General Stanley was simply killing,
and Mr.. Casselli as Edward the Police Ser
geant was fine. The burden Of the opera
is to caricature possible weaknesses in the
English army and police and jolly carica-
lures are Freeman and Casselli. 1t would
be wrong not to call particular attention
to the magnificent orchestra here and the
magnificent orchestra music in the Pirates.
II is full of music, real music. Perhaps it
lacks some of the high art of more preten-
tious productions, but it is full Of deep
melody which suits better all but very
highly cultured musicians.

SLIDING DOWN HILL.
A Whole City ON a Sort of Coast
Ing Jamboree.

Last Saturday night, says the Virginia
Chronicle, at the time Of the breaking OF
the water main on Union street, a large
plate glass window ON G street was also
cracked. Upon examination it was found
that the ends Of the pipe were two inches
apart, the lower part Of the hill having
settled that much. At the Office Of
the water company they think the sudden
settling was due to the cold weather. All
along the side Of M. Davidson, from Bull
lion ravine to Carsoh1strest, just below the
water company's ditch, there is a crack in
the earth that is constantly increasing in
size. In some places it is two and a half
feet wide, and extends downward to an un-
known depth. The water company people
say that the entire town is gradually set
ting to the east and north. The rate Of
the sinking is slowly increasing, as the
frequent pulling apart Of the water pipes
indicates. Any extreme of heat or cold
seems to bring on an unnatural movement
in this way.
