THE JURY CONSIDERING GUITEAU.
WASHINGTON, October 3.-The
grand jury met to-day at 10:45, with
full attendance, and Immediately
proceeded to the consideration of
the, case of Chas. j. Guiteau,
charged with the murder of James
A. Garfield. The only witnesses
heard were Surgeon General Barnes,
who testified as TO the wound, and
George Williams, who was at the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad de-
pot at the time the shot was fired.
DR.. Lamb, who conducted the au-
topsy, was also given a hearing. Be-
fore his testimony was concluded,
the grand jury, after a session of
three hours, adjourned until to-mor-
row. District Attorney Corkhill is
busy drawing up the Indictment, but
has not as yet concluded his labors,
and it is doubtful whether the grand
Jury can complete their work in time
to present an indictment against
Guiteau tomorrow.

BARNEY YOUNG


is his name, and he was pointed out TO
Mr.. Achilles by the pawnbroker, and was
ut once taken in charge and turned over
to officer Thorp, who conveyed him to

several weeks, Sergeant Cheneville, with
interchangeable industry, has been working
up several cases of theft, and had fast
ened suspicion upon the above darkey'

officer repaired to Barney's room, to
trunk the suspicious about his crooked

On Monday night, September the 18th
Mr.. A. II. Achilles, conducting small
grocery and feed business on the corner
OF West Pecan and Colorado streets, had
his storehouse broken open and guam
tity of soap, several boxes of cigars and a
small sixshooter carried of. The rob
berry was discovered Tuesday morning
aud AN examination of the premises dis
closed the fact that entrance to the build
ing, which is a small frame one, had been
gained by forcing open the back door.
Mr.. Achilles, thinking the thief would
dispose of the siXshooter, went out
and informed the pawnbrokers of
the robbery, leaving a description
of the weapon, and requesting them to
report to him should any one offer to
pawn such pistol. On yesterday morn
Ing Mr.. Achilles purchased a quantity of
goods from Wayland Il CrIser, and while
going down the Avenue to his place of
business, stopped aud went into Jack

Thursday night, along about midnight,
brilliant meteorie shower was observed
in the heavens. The display, it is said,
lasted some minutes, and an old darkey
who witnessed 1t declares one of the
falling stars was as large as a barrel.
Many strange sights have been seen in
the heavens during the past sew
eral weeks. Not long since, in
one of the states, q great
column of red light appeared
in the uplifting depths of heaven,
and ever and anon an armed soldier
would appear and mount up 1t and pass
out of sight 1t created intense excite
ment, and the darkies especially were
deeply moved and held religious services
A short time ago in certain of the
states it suddenly grew mysteriously
dark about midday, and gas had to be
lighted. Up in Kansas a great train
of wonderful animal and armed
men were observed solemnly filing across
the heavens. The animals were different
from any seen on earth. About two
weeks ago the sun was seen to throw OF
great black balls, some of them disap-
pearing, and others apparently falling
back into 1t. At times the black objects
for an instant almost eclipsed the sun.
This singular phenomena was witnessed
with much interest by several here in
Austin. What do these signs signify!
