Guitnan,s STORY orHIs Lie.

Cincinnati Commercial S%pecial.l
WASHINGTON, November ga
knotty little tangle has bothered the
lawyers connected with the Guiteau
case for several weeks. Nothing has
been said about it outside of the circle
of their friends. Sooner or later, how
ever, one Of the parties involved will
give out an ex parte statement
about it, so that the salient facts
might as we'll be stated now.
Last summer Guiteau dictated to the
special assistant to the District Attor-
ney the story of his life. He thought
that this statement was to be pub
lished as his autobiography. The
District Attorney, he thought, had
promised him that it should be so
published. The District Attorney
understood his promise to mean that
he would publish so much of it only
as would suffice to give a
sketchy history of the accused.
Some parts Of the statement he
did not consider fit for publication.
Accordingly, a revised summary was
prepared by the special assistant to
the District Attorney, and published.
Some time after, the special assistant,
having more important business to at.
tend to, left the case. He did not
leave the statement which he had pre-
pared from his notes, because he had
had but a fourth of his promised fee.
The statement to be used by the Dis
trict Attorney in preparing for
the trial, containing a COM
plete account Of Guiteau's
age, etc, would be very valuable to
him. 1t would be very valuable 10
Scoville, too. The special assistant
has been importuned for it again and
again by both sides. He refuses tc
surrender it unless he receives the
equivalent of the cost of its prepare
ton, to say nothing Of the other three
fourths Of his fee. 1t is beyond the
reach Of a subpoena duces tecum.
Neither the District Attorney nor
Scovills has the ready money to pay
for it. They are nonplused.

OENco OOuCeEt
At the Casino Hall last night was at
tended by a delighted audience who
heartily enjoyed the music feast pre-
pared for them by a portion of the
best amateur talent in this music
loving city. Since all sang so well,
any distinction would perhaps seem
invidious unless an exception should
be made in favor Of the closing trio,
when [ am Gone" by Campana,
and which was rendered so artistically
by Miss Lizzie Mcclellan in company
with Messrs Refs and Cashier, as TO
constitute it the gem of the evening.
1t was the dessert after a very rich
feast. The absence of the usual
aower-offering to the silgers was con
spicuous, and this new departure was
sincerely appreciated by those OF the
audience who long since surfeited
with a custom which commenced with
a button hole bouquet and reached its
climax with elegant stands of flowers
so large that a lady could with diff
Guilty carry them off the stage, ever
where she made an attempt to do SOL
If this sensible i~nitiatory measure in
the Aower-bestowing business is.imi-
tated at future concerts, the Grace
church people will be entitled to a
blue ribbon for their part in abolish
ing a custom originally commenced in
a spirit Of approval, then fostered by
friendship, then encouraged by vanity
and finally in its silly excuses, CON
demned by everybody, except the. i'm

Crop Report.


The Cotton Exchange crop report
for October is out, The essential parts
are as follows:
In West Tennessee IS per cent. Of
this years crop has been gathered, and
by the 10th inst. it will all be out of
the fields. The average estimated
yield is 1854 pounds of seed cotton to
the acre, ranging from % to 81 per
cent. less than last year and averaging
81 per cent. less. The frost of the
10th ult. did no harm anywhere. The
weather during October was generally
favorable and much more so than last
year. TIE report includes SO responses
to circulars sent out.
In North Arkansaw Upper cent. Of
the crop has been gathered and it will
all be in by the 10th. No damage by
frost. Estimated yield per acre $50
pounds of seed cotton, and average 40
per cent. less than last year. Weather
favorable, and much more SO than last
season. There we're % responses to
inquiries issued.
In North Mississippi IS per cent, Of
the crop has been gathered, and it will
all be picked by the 10th of next
month and nearly all by the middle o.
the present month. No harm from
frost. Estimated yield per acre 37s
pound Of seed cotton per acre, and av.
erages from 40 to 80 per cent. below
last year; an average Of 60 per cent
less.
The total number of persons hearC
from was s.; of these 7Oreport frost
and no damage and from ID no frost
The latter were 10 from North Missis
sippi, 2 from North Arkansaw and
from West Tennessee.
The indications are from these re
ports that over four-ffths OF tn,
entire crop has been gathered, and tn,
remainder will nearly all be picked
week from now. In the heaviest cot
ton producing localities Of the valley
it will all be saved by the 10Th Q
December. The average yield i
expected to be 372 pounds Of seed cot
ton to the acre, and 50 per cent. les
than last year.
From this report it would seem tina
we cannot expect quite half as niue
cotton this year as was produced las
season in the Memphis district. rs
Inmates outside Of the crop report in
dictate about 60 per cent. as the pref
able yield in the valleys comparin
with last year, while in the hill dis
tricts it is much less.

BOY Drowned.


: About ten o'clock this forenoon,
while crossing a plank over the bayou,
on Dunlap street, neal Carr avenue, a
little cOlored boy slipped and fell into
the water below, which is fully ten
feet deep and very swift. He rose to
the surface twice and then went
down forever, while four strap
ping colored men stood impassiyelyb by.
One old gentleman stepped to the
bank and endeavored to hook him out
with the handle of his umbrella, but
it lacked several inches of being long
enough and he was compelled to see
the boy drown. The boys mother is
a cook for Judge Henry Craft.
