GuiHau.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The man
who shot at and slightly wounded
Guiteau was captured on Saturday last
as he rode into the yard Of farm house
in the suburbs Of Washington by a
policeman who followed him there after
the shooting. He gave his name as
William Jones, and has been very re-
ticent since his arrest. It is reported
that he is another member of the great
family of cranks. Additional precau-
lions will be taken to guard Guiteau
hereafter from assault. His condition
tonight is one of abject fear. Now, in
stead Of being defiant, he appeals pit
eously to be protected from further
molestation, and points to the fact that
this is the third time his life has been
attempted since he was imprisoned.
Jones is said to be crank of about the
same character as Guiteau. He served
term in prison once for an unnameable
crime. He was very drunk when in
terviewed at midnight.
The ball which wounded Guiteau
caused very slight abrasion of the
skin of his hand.
In reply to questions to-day Guiteau
said "Oh, yes am hard to hit. The
people will learn after while that the
Lord is with me and will not permit me
to be killed."
WASHINGTON, Nov. q. - Guiteau
made a rambling speech in court this
morning which contained nothing Of
special interest. Scoville then address,
ed the jury at considerable length.
Much that he said has already been in
PRODUCED in evidence. His main point
for the jury to consider was whether
the prisoner killed the President and
whether at that time he was mentally
responsible.
The authorities now think that Jones
is not the man who did the shooting.

Law IN VERMONT.

The criminal laws Of Vermont are
very severe. From ruling just made
by her Supreme Court it would seem
that the lawmakers of that State must
have copied their ideas of justice more
from the spirit of the cannibal islands
than the teachings of the present day.
A dispatch from Montpelier yesterday
saws that "the Supreme Court has over
ruled the exceptions raised by the
counsel Of Emeline l.. Meeker, con-
yicted of child murder, and sentenced
her to be confined in the State Prison
till the last Friday in 1SS3-the last
three months solitary-and then to be
hanged"
A perusal of the above is as delight
full to the mind of savage as it is re-
voting to a Christian. If the above
sentence is carried out the law will
execute upon the scaffeld being made
insane by mistaken idea of justice,
for it is reasonable to presume that the
long confinement, including the solitary
portion Of it, and the knowledge OF
what was to follow, would derange the
mind of most any person. If the cul-
prit is deserving of the death penalty
let it be inflicted in the usual way, and
not in a manner to incite horror and
indignation. Send no more missiona-
ries abroad. Turn them loose in Yer
mont.

COrwin's Grave

'Is there monument over Tom
Corwin's grave yet?" was Col. Inger-
soll's Geographic reply to an invitation
to lecture in Lebanon, Ind, last winter.
''No SIR" answered the old gentleman
who was acting as secretary of the lee
ture association; and before he had left
the telegraph Office the operator hand
ed him message, which read:
81 would not lecture in your old
town for half of it.
ROBERT G. INGERSOLL."
Corwin's grave is on the crest of a
little knoll en- the east side of the town
cemetery at Lebanon. The remains of
his wife lie on one side of him, and
those of his son on the other. Standing
over them one can see miles away
across rich valleys and fertile hillsides,
the scene Of more than one of Corwin's
famous speeches. Back in the valley
of Turtle Creek is the sleepy old town
of Lebanon. The Corwin family, con-
sisting-of one married and one single
daughter, the latter lame and below the
average in intellect, and with COM
plexion as dark as her father-still re-
side in the old mansion near the Gem
etery. Corwin died in 1865 in Wash
ington, and nearly every man, woman
and child in Warren county fiocked to
the funeral when his remains were
taken home. They buried him with
great pomp, and then began to talk
about monument. The family
thought the county ought to erect it,
and the commissioners said it was
plainly the duty of the family. Nothing
was done by either until Ingersoll's
message fell among them like hot
shot, and turned the town upside
down. Corwin's son-in-law, Cincin-
natl lawyer, named Sage, ordered
Quincy shaft thirteen feet high, and it
has just been put in place.

Forced Marches.

In 1857 Frederick the Great marched
about 100 miles 20 days; and again, after
Rossbarh, a little greater distance in 10
days, but lost 300 men through exhaus-
ton. In 1850, with 10000 men and
], 200 wagons, he accomplished about 50
miles III days. The same year the
knocked off" $50 miles in 10 days.
Prince Eugene, of Wurtemberg, to re-
ieve Berlin, made a forced march on
the 4th of October, 1850, of 36 miles l
day. This latter does not approach the
feat of the Sixth Corps-35 miles in 10
hours. 1t may be remembered by many
of those who served with the Army of
the Potomac that Birney's First (Red
Diamond) division of the Third Corps
had won for themselves the nickname
of " Birney's Foot Cavalry" and this
title was subsequently applied to the
Second Corps after the Third Corps was
combined with it. In regard to the
Third Corps, Army of the Potomac, the
writer feels that it deserves equal pre-
eminence with the Third Corps of the
French Army under Napoleon in the
campaign of 1906 OF the latter organi-
zation, Marshal Davoust said to Napol-
con during this, the Jena campaign,
when the Emperor expressed his adj
miratlon of its achievements and his
grief at its heavy losses, "Sire, the
soldiers of the Third Corps, will ever be
to you what the Tenth Legion was to
Caesar" allison, IL, 457 p. The ac-
tivity of the Third and of the combined
Second-Third Corps rivaled that Of
Oudinots Grenadier's, in October, 1905,
when they actually outmarched cavalry,
accomplishing II leagues day, and
contributed chiefly to the capture of

that cavalry is to infantry what poetry
