Guiteau Again Shot At.

As Charles j. Guiteau was being re-
moved Saturday afternoon in a prison van
from the Court room to the Jail at Wash
ington, he was fired upon by man on
horseback, but the only injury the prison.
er sustained was bruisc on his left arm.
When Gu!telu was put in the van there
was man about 40 years of age on a sor-
rel hor9e within few feet Of the vehicle.
He followed at some distance, and when
Ii had reached the intersection Of East
Capitol and First Street about three-quar-
ters of a mile from the Court House, he
stopped his horse and fired into the left
side of the van. Th is caused no little
confusion, and as soon as the policeman
returned the fire there was general
rush of people TO the scene.
When Guiteau found that he was shot
nj, which he realized at once, he crOuched
down in the bottom of the vehicle, not
knowing but what this was the first dem
onstration by mob. He cried to the
driver and guard to make for the Court
House As fast as possible, the Jail being a
mile distant.
As soon as the man fired lie started his
horse at full speed, dashing in front of
the van, the policeman rising TO his feet
and shooting at him. The assailant leaned
forward on the side of his horse and
urged the animal to its full speed, going
up First street toward the boundary.
The van at once stopped; but as the
horses were refractory, 1t was several
minutes before persuit could be given.
The police suspected one William
Jones, and arrested him at house OIL the
Bladensburg road, but he was too. drunk
to give any statement regarding the affair.
After the shooting a number Of report
erS visited the Jail, much TO the gratifica-
ton Of Guiteau, who was profuse in mar
rating the circumstances of the affair, and
eager to impress upon all his firm belief
that he is still protected by the agiS Of
Divinity.
William Jones, who attempted Guiteau's
life on Saturday, was brought from Jail
Tuesday morning and arraigEed in the
police court on the charge of assault and
battery with intent TO kill. Jones, by his
counsel, waived an examination, the court
fixing his bond at $1,000. Messrs. j.. G.
Wheeler and Sebastian Aman went on his
bond in the amount named and Jones was
released. He left the court and mounted
his sorrel steed, riding off amid the plaud-
it's of the crowd. So far 5000 has been
subscribed for his defense.

DR.. VIM. A. Hammond has expressed a
very strong opinion regarding cigarette
smoking. He says parents should pre-
vent their boys from smoking cigarettes,
which are worse than cigars rs the paper
absorbs the nicotine. The effects upon
growing boys are to destroy their appe-
tile, stunt their growth, injure their
voices and affect their memory. Let pa
rents act according 70 the advice of DR..
Hammond. A habit, and we may well
say vice, so pernicious and injurious 70
youth and mankind, should be corrected
and prevented.

So The Baltimore San deserves the
thanks of the people of the Valley of
Virginia for its timely and VIC trust, ei-
fectiye agitation of the subject OF our
mail facilities which are just now in a
less satisfactory condition than when
We had to depend upon the old fashioned
stage coaches for our letters and papers
from Baltimore.
There is some prospect, however,
that the present trouble will soou be re-
medied as may be seen from the follow
ing paragraph from the Sun of Satur
day last =
| MAIL ACCOMMODATION FOR WESTERN
MARYLAND AND THE SoUTH-rHE PoSToF-
| FICE CONSIDERING THE MATTER.-Mr. NJ :.
! ". Bailey, the new superintendent OF
mails at this CITY, yesterday had an in
! terview with President Hood, Of the West
! ern Maryland Railroad, in regard to the
| running OF mails from Baltimore to Ha-
| gerstown and points on the Shenandoah
J Valley Railroad. The mails from Balti-
more, with the newspapers, leave at 7.l5
A. NJ. and arrive at HagerstOwn ut 1910,
while the Philadelphia papers get there
three-quarters of an hour earlier. Balti-
more and Philadelphia mails both have
to wait until $40 P. NJ. for the Shenandoah
Valley connection, Mr.. Hood thought
that train leaving Baltimore at very
early hour in the morning, in order to get
TO Uagerstown earlier, would not be a
paying undertaking for the railroad, and
as the government is not willing to go to
any extra expense in running the train,
the plan of having the mail leave here by
the Western Maryland at $3.50 a NJ is deemed
impracticable, though it would catch the
early train on the Shenandoah Valley
road. Mr.. Hood thought, however, that
the Western Maryland train might leave
at $50 A. NJ, reaching HagerStown soon
er, and then inducing the Shenandoah
Valley road 70 put or connecting train.
Mr.. Bailey and Postmaster Adreon also
have an idea of inducing the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad people TO put the Balti-
more mail on the early train and connect
with the Shenandoah Valley train at Ha-
gerstown, besides getting the Baltimore
mails in Hagerstown earlier. Mr.. Bailey
and the postmaster are working on the
different schemes together, anu hope sooh
to effect some satisfactory arrangement
for the running of the mails out of Balti-

RELEAsED.-In November, 1876, An
drew Malone, a colored man of Sharps-
burg, was convicted Of robbing Mr.. John
Champion of a large sum of money. He
was sentenced to the penitentiary for the
term Of six years. The evidence upon
which his conviction was based, was
purely circumstantia. and the belief in
his innocence, which obtained largely
among our people, was shared in by his
counsel, who made several unsuccessful
attempts to have the executive interpOse
his prerogative of pardon.
Last week his friends received he in.
formation that death had done for him
what the Governor refused to dO-released
him from imprisonment. He died on the
18th, inst, of consumption. Andrew Ma
lone was an industrious man, and, prior
to this suspected robbery, his reputation
in the community, we believe, was good +.

PnrL.pELruIA, Nov. 1.-THE body
of Edwin X. McCauley, cashier OF the
Philadelphia Bridge Works, who, with
four companions, was poisoned, on
November 4, near Rawlius, w. T.,
arrived at his late home in Reading
Tuesday night The particulars OF the
sad deaths OF MIR. McCauley and his
friends were learned yesterday. He
went West on September 25, aud
stopped ell route at Rawlins, where HE
brother, an army captsin, is stationed.
Game was plentiful at the time, and 4
party of five, including Mr.. McCauley,
was made up to go on huntingl exPe-
dition after buffalo and elk. AS the
hunters expected to remain away for
several days, they provided themselves
with the necessary outfit for long
hunt, which included lot OF arsenic
for the purpose of curing the skins OF
the game they expected TO kill. On
the way back to Rawlins, the cook,
while preparing a meal, mistook the
package of arsenic for baking powder,
and used it in making up a batch OF
bread. The hunters with appetites
sharpened by the constant exercise, ate
generously it, and in few honrs
began to show the effects OF the terrible
poison. A courier was instantly de-
spatched to Rawlins, so miles away,
to summon medical assistance.
The entire distance to and from the
camp to Rawlins was galloped in As
! hours without rest or sleep. DR.. Mag
nee, an experienced army surgeon, was
secured aud leaping into the saddle he
rode back at a terrible pace with the
courier. When the hunters camp was
reached terrible scene was witnessed.
Mr.. McCauley was dead and his four
companions lay writing in terrible
agony near his dead body. The physi-
clans services came too late and not
withstanding the prompt administration
of antidotes. the four men died, one by
one, few hours after DR.. Magnees ar
rival The sad news was carried back
to Rawins, and Captain McCaulty im-
mediately sent team for the bodies.
| That of his brother was embaImed at
Fort Steele, and then placed on an
eastward bound train, which was de-
layed for two days near Sherman in the
Rocky Mountains. by snow storm,
which completely blockaded the road.
ED Mr.. McCauley was a son OF
Rev. c. F. McCauley, of Reading, Pa,
formerly pastor of the Reformed Church
at Middletown, Md, and the Rev. gen
,leman is we'll known in this communi-
ty. He is on uncle to Mr. T. Hamilton
Davis, near this place.
