Incident. at the Giteau Trial.

New York, December IA Post
Washington special says: Judge Law.
renee, First Controller Of tho Treasury,
who occupied the bench with Judge Cox
at the Guitsau trial yesterday. says Of
the assassin: "As I sat looking down
upon him yesterday I could not help
being struck with the appearance which
his head pressn ted to one who views 1t
a. a phrsnolosist. It Is almost fiat ON
top from the for shsad to the crown,
which rises prominently and almost per-
psndiculsrly from the naps Of the neck.
This, II I understand anything Of phrsn.
sloay, indicates sanity and s%slf.concsis,
the latter strongly developed. I have
not studied the evidence submitted In
the case, but II shows Guitsau to have
had o distinct idea Of the snornity OF
his crime. Then It will appear that the
only motive for Il was that hs felt ag.
Qrisved over bis treatment in the matter
Of the Paris Consulate. His sslf.oopcsit
was hurt and he wanted revenge, and
this should not be considered insanity"
WASHINGTON, December a. In the
Gui,eau case today Porter, having clio.
tied from Guitsau assurance that no had
not read much about Napoleon, asked
him II In saying the Presidential nom.

The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1881-11-16

WASHINGTON, November THE
Internal Revenue Bureau does not
favor the proposed reduction Of the
whisky tax from ninety to fifty
cents per gallon. In his forthcom-
ing report, Commissioner Raum will
neither recommend the reduction
nor will he advise directly against
it. He will state the amount of rev.
enue derived from whisky and that
the proposed reduction will cut
down the amount without benefiting
the producer or consumer. Reve-
nue. officials regard this movement
for q reduction as inauguratcd Who'll
ly by the middle men, who, they
say, would make all the profit; the
whisky trade will also oppose the
reduction, rs millions of dollars
worth of whisky are held in bond.
and to reduce the tax would demor-
alize the trade badly. The Com
missioner may in his report point
out this effect. There will be a de-
termined effort made to get Con-
gress to reduce this tax, and it is
said a big lobby, with plenty of
money, will be here in the interest
of the movement. The influence Of
the Treasury and Revenue Bureau
will be against reduction.

Burning of the Bethany Orphans
Home.

READING, November 11.-Shortly
after midnight fire was discovered
in the Bethany Orphans Home at
Womelsdorf, and a wild scene Of
confusion followed. Sixty-tive
children occupied the dormatories.
One of the little orphans, suffering
with malarial fever, was awake at the
above hour and gave the alarm.
The Superintendent and his attend
ants were around and seeing that
the flames issued from an apart
ment in the lower section of the
building which was not in use, they
at once concluded that the place
had been fired by an incendiary.
The children were hastily aroused
and safely led into the open air.
Many of them were scantily dressed,
and they suffered considerably in
the cold night air. The home
stands entirely by itself, quite c dis
tance from the village, on the edge
of a dense woods. Itwas impossible
to extinguish the flames, 50 much
headway had they obtained, and
the shivering orphans in tears
witnessed the speedy destruction of
their home. All the furniture was
burned. The loss is estimated at
$4,000; insurance about $4,000.
The villagers aroused promptly, and
wrapping the children in shawls
and overcoats, carried tLc.l to their
various homes. An examination of
the premises showed that the vari-
Gus outhouses had been broken
open by thieves during the night,
which still further emphasizes the
of incendiarism. The
Home was under the control of the
Reformed Church.

President Arthur Means Business.


New Ye.xcorrespondcnt Of Phil'a Ledger.
All attempts to draw from Presi-
dent Arthur an expression of opin-
ion touching the reported scene"
between him and Attorney General
MacVeagh, as chronicled in a
Washington paper, have been sig
nal failures. The President, with
a becoming sense of his dignity,
very properly declines to gossip on
the subject; but nevertheless this
may be confidently, if not authori-
lively affirmed, that Guiteau shall
be brought to trial at the earliest
possible moment, as he has no idea
of giving his enemies the slightest
opportunity for insinuating that, as
Guiteau's crime has made him
President, he is inclined therefore
to be unduly lenient to Guiteau
himself. There were some cruel
things said of President Arthur just
after the assassination of President
Garfield, and these he has not for
gotten. He is determined that the
country shall have the fullest dem
onstration Of the injustice of the
situations in question, and if Mr.
MacVeagh will not facilitate the
trial, ways and means will be found
for proceeding without him. The
President, in short, occupies the
same position with Guiteau as ht
does to the Star Route frauds; he
does not intend to be saddled with
either, and the gentleman whose
official business it is to prosecute
both TO the bitter end, he is deter
mined shall be strictly held TO theil
responsibility before the country.
