True Chosen-The Prisoner Less Troub. lesome i'm Courf-He is Hooted by the Mob-And Quafls Before the Crowd-A | Fear That the GaIIows Will be Cheated WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-There was much 1 smaller crowd and less excitement this morn 1 ing about the court where Guiteau is on trial for the shooting of President Garfield Still | the seats for spectators were filled as ! soon as the doors were opened. The five jurors selected yesterday were on hand. Court was opened shortly after 10 o'clock, l Guiteau's brother and sister being present ! with counsel for the defense. Guiteau was hurried into the court room in the custody ot l half dozen policemen and deputy marshals. The handcuffs were removed from his wrists, and he shook hands with his sister and broth CT, and took the seat reserved for him be- tween them and his counsel Mr. ScoviIle
 cation for an order for an additional number ! of witnesses, which order (the District attor-
 ney making no objection) was made by the court. Then the additional panel of seventy five, who were summoned last evening. was called. Guiteau manifested less nervousness and excitability than he had displayed yes terday, although, in his whispered converse
 tion with his brother, he was quite demon
 strative and earnest, in his manner The
 work of empanelling jurymen was then pro-
 ceeded with. Four selections were made
 without special interest beyond the passing
 episodes of mirth as some odd exhibition of
 human nature was made in the examinations
 The panel of seventy-five talesmen being
 then appointed court adjourned until to-
 morrow. Guiteau conducted himself in an
 orderly manner, and expressed his satisfac-
 faction with the jurors as chosen. His wishes
 were consulted in every case, and when the ju1or was accepted and sworn he would nod his head approvingly and say to his brother or Scoville, ''He is a good man," or "He is conscientious man," or something similar.
 The four jurors obtained to-day are as fo-I lows: Michael J. Sheahan, grocer, about fifty years of age and man of family and resident of the District for over thirty years past. D. F. Hobbs, well known plasterer, a native of Baltimore, who has aresided in
 Washington for thirty years and IS well ad-
 vanced in years. He is in high standing with his friends and neighbors and is member of Grace M E. church. George W. Gates, who resides on Tenth street, s. B. He is mem Der of one of the oldest families in that sec- tion. He is about thirty years of age and is a machinist in the navy yard where he learned his trade. Ralph Wormley, well known colored man; he resides in Howard town across the eastern branch is a plaster CT by trade; has lived in the District nearly all his life. He was in old election times well known as an active Republican. The supervision of the jury will be very strict. They are in the custody of bailiffs and for bidden to talk on the trial or to read the .1.1 H. tional Hotel and are virtually under arrest, as they are not permitted to go abroad or even see their friends or transact business except in the presence of the officers of the court
 The fact that Guiteau behaved so well at the trial to-day is looked upon with consid- erable suspicion in remembrance of his vio- lent conduct yesterday A reporter said to pretty still to-day?' "Oh, yes," replied the counsel, 'tthere was no occasion for him to be otherwise.'' Whether he meant Robinson's silence added to Guiteau's silence or not can not be said, but the prisoner seemed better pleased to have his brother-in law do the or four questions of the talesmen. MT. Scoville's method of examination causes much comment among all. To- day he even went so far as to ask of iu TOT who was department laborer if he had made application for place to any depart ment secretary. The government recogni- zing that Scoville desired to find out if the man was personally beholden to Garfield made no objection, though Scoville's persis- tency brings many smiles.
 The general opinion tonight is that both sides made mistake to-day. Juror Sheahan on his examination plainly stated that he thought the prisoner was crazy, yet the State left him unchallenged. Wormley, although apparently unwilling to serve, to close ob- server seemed particularly anxious to get on. His answers were studied and he played well his part if, as is thought, he came to court for the express purpose of getting on the jury. However palpable these mistakes may be, it must be admitted that thus far the jury is above the average District jury. In this connection it is no mistake to say that not much will depend on the jury. Some feel sure scene will result from Guiteau's vehemence in court some day which will re- suit in his being shot. At any rate one out of every ten men seems to think the gallows will be rendered useless, not so likely by the prisoners insanity as by some revengeful hand. The assassin himself has fear of personal assault whenever he moves from one place to another. To- day when he passed out of court the crowd on the street jeered and derided him on every side. He quailed before the crowd, though his limbs would not carry him. Un til the driver whipped his horses up the crowd surrounded the van and saluted the trembling prisoner with derisive shouts. One from whom violence is not impossible is Bethard, the tramp who once wanted to bor row 8 pistol to shoot Guiteau with in the criminal court room. This person hung around the east portico of the building until after Guiteau's departure, and though he at tempted no repetition of his former conduct the lynx eyes of several officers were on him and his every movement was shadowed reporter asked Bethard, Are you waiting for him again ?'' "They are waiting for me, I am afraid, y said Bethard. 1T wish could get up behind him with pistol just as he did the President. I'd fix him - soon.'
 When Guiteau was brought along through the hall Bethard, who had moved outside on the portico said, "Oh, how I wish had shooter He did not have one.
 This afternoon Judge Cox issued an order to summon thirty five more witnesses for the defense From seventy five talesmen sum- moned for tomorrow it is expected the re- maining three jurors will be secured Be- yond that point, t-is understood, the govern ment does not intend to proceed to morrow.

 WASHINGTON; Nov. 15.-The annual report or OuD6FVlS1uR AICL21tCCb SfaA4co D. 4AAA tO bAkO Secretary of the Treasury is given to the public. It shows satisfactory condition of work upon various new buildings and says extensive repairs have been made upon the custom houses at Gloucester, Mass, Louis vile, Ky, Newport, R. l.. New York city, Rutland, Vt, and Springfield, III. Ordinary current repairs necessary to keeping various other buildinps in proper condition have also been made The advance in the price of labor and materials will probably cause the buildings at DanviIe, Va, Padueah, Ky, ,and Montgomery, Ala, to slightly exceed in cost the estimates made therefore. The activity in the building bus mess has resulted in less active competition for, government work. Prices have ranged higher than last year and difficulty has been met in securing prompt deliveries of iron work and in every instance where rolled shaues have formed any part of
