MRS. sCOVILLE.
Her lecture In Behalf of Her
Condemned LuBntic
Brother.

New York Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
Mrs. Scoyille, the sister of the assas-
sin Guiteau, lectured tonight in the
Criterion Theater, at Thirty-f fifth street
and Broadway, upon The Guiteau Case
from q Sis er's Standpoint" There
were eighty-one persons present, in
Guiding seven reporters. Mrs. Scoville
was accompanied upon the stage by her
brother, John W. Guiteau, and ly
Philip Thorpe, the manager of the thea
ter, who introduced her to
the audience. She WAS dressed
in plain black, with white lace at the
neck. Her face is full and unwrinkled.
Her cheek bones are slightly prominent,
and her light blue eyes are set close to-
gether, beneath arched eyebrows that are
scarcely perceptible. She spoke for an
hour in a conversational tone, her voice
being firm. but not loud.
This Lord, and He alone" she said
SIS my shield and my deliverer, and |
pray to Him for help always. He sent
| ue to the manager Of this theater.
come to you as the sister of Charles j.
Guiteau, for the sake Of our country's
fair name and justice. [ plead for rea-
son, for fairness and for an atom of that
mercy which we shall need when
we stand before the judgment
seat on the last day 3"
She went on to say that the politicians
were really to blame for Garfields
death; that their heads were filled with
hate, and their ravlng caused her half
crazy brother to become stark mad, and
to believe that heIwas chosen by God to
shoot the President. He was a natural
hero worshlpper, she said, and the voice
ofsuch men as Grant and COukling came
to him as thelvolce oldivinr inspiration.
She then gave Gulteau's genealogy, and
asserted that he inherited insanity. She
denounced the trial as a conspiracy to
satisfy public clamor, and to shield the
real slayers of Garfield. She declared
that the newspaper correspondents kept
the trial from the public, that
Judge Cox did what police
justice would blush 10 do, acknow'-
edging collision with the prosecution
to entrap half crazy prisoner, and that
District Attorney Corkhill ran the
court, the officers, the press and the
lawyers. She dubbed DR.. Hammond Il
profound, antiquated, beastly old New
York doctor" GuiteHu had attempted
~ Xii reSltl"Ht bdTHelu, Duu the uOc-
tors had completed the work President
Arthur ought to know, she thought, that
Guiteau was crazy, and ought to desire
to commute his sentence to life rmpris-
onment. She asked her hearers to sign
petition to the President asking for
communication. After the lecture several
people went upon the stage to speak to
Mrs. Scoville. She will lecture again
IN the same place on next Sunday
evening.

THE SWITCH QUESTION.
a Matter in which the City
Should Move with lex.
treme Caution.

This is shortly going to be one OF the
most important questions with which
we have to contend and already il is a
very perple1ing one. The city ia by no
means certain that long and trouble
some litigation may not grow out of
what has already been done in this di-
rection, and future action, if not in the
right direction, may largely increase
this danger. No on will say that when
the city granted certain parties switch
privileges that it was not thought
to be for the best, but that
does not argue that errors
have not been made. By granting the
frs switch privilege the city committed
itself and to be consistent was, and still
is obliged to grant every other remark
able request OF the same kind, until il it
goes on, we may soon find many of our
streets and alleys, network OF railroad
tracks. 1t is an unsettled question as to
how much right a city has to damage
the property of one person or persons,
that another person or corporation may
be benefited even though the city only
grant, right to ra lroad to run one or
more tracks up and down certain streets,
il front of private residences
anu hCIOSN u huulbtl VI DubllC tllpl
oughfares. In Illinois and other states
this matter has been Irrigated with va
rying results, but in all cases it has been
very expensive to the city, and Waco,
with her present slim resources, cannot
al ow herself to fall into a position to
be attacked in the courts either by citi-
zens or a railroad company. 1t would
De well, therefore, for Ms to stop and
/ ask when and where is this granting of
switch privileges going to stop? 1t is
hard to say that by granting one to ben
eft some one We are not damaging
one or more other parties
and what right have we to authorize
any one by our Legislative acts to de-
stroy the property OF another citizen
who holds a title and pays taxes! He
expects protection and if not accorded
! willingly the chances are that some one
/ will be found who will demand 1t
] through the courts, Would it not be
well that all persons who hereafter ask
for switches be required to gel the con-
sent of all persons liable to be in any
way damaged by it, in writing, granting
their permission to have it run before
the council takes cogniEance of the pc
tition? We are OF the opinion that the
sooner the city puts herself op the safe
side in this matter the better it will be

object Of the pool is to equaliZe priccs
substitute arbitration for litigation be-
tween the companies, and prosecute ali
companies which may infringe hpOn any
OF the patents owned by the pool. There
are two hundred and twenty-eight of these
patents, and it is impossible to make Use
of electric lighting without infringing
some of them. The combination practi-

company owns the first patents iSsued,and
all OF the members of the pool are to pay
it five per cent royalty OF the selling price
OF machinery manufactured by them. The
companies will prosecute the companies
which, owning no patents and without
means to carry on the business, have swim

TELEGRAPHIC FACILITIES SUS-
PENDED.

We go to press this morning IN bliss
tul ignorance of what occurred in the
outside world yesterday, beyond a
meager report from Washington and
one or two items from domestic points.
These dispatches were received late in
the aftrnoon, over wires working very
badly. The interest felt in matters at
Austin prompted special efforts to Sc
cure communication with the capital,
Such dispatches as were received are
given in their proper place, also toler-
ably full telegraphic market report-aud
from last nights mail compilation of
fresh news matter has been made up
winch, it is hoped, will prove Of interest.
No one can regret these Interruptions OF
telegraphic communication more than

John Browns Widow.


Those who have worked up a fortune

circumstances at Saratoga, California, de

since, by the San Francisco Chronicle.
which amounted TO but little, and was not
generally taken hold of. Whatever may
be said OF John Browns judgment, his
patriotism and heroism will ever remain
unchanged. John Browns memory to-
day is revered in every loyal home, and
his name will be remembered centuries
after those of Sergeant Mason and Bill
Jones have been forgotten. But there is
no "boom" for the hero OF IIarper's Ferry,
and his loved ones are not mendicants by
tact consent, so there is little probability
that their condition will ever receive the
kind attentions so freely showercd on those

Without doubt the rain which visited
this section last night was one of the finest
which has fallen for many a day, and we
hope sincerely that it tell as copious!y and
mildly at every other point As it did at
Waco. The condition OF the clouds, vivid
Lightning and frequent peals of thunder
carried with them indications that in some
places strong winds, if not hail, prevailed,
but we shall wait patiently in the faith
that such was not the case. Texas is Oh
the road to 4 higher and greater prosper
ity than ever before, and with good crops
this year not only is fine tai and winter
business insured, but we will attract tide
OF immigration such Us Texas has never
before known. The eyes of thousands
who in all the states of the union are seek
ing change. are upon Texas, and our sue
cess this year will be the avoirdupOis that
will turn labor and wealth toward our
state. All other sections of Texas, SO far
as we know, except i'll small spots, have
been favored with seasonable showers, and
last nights rainfall, if it was general over
this and adjoining counties, and as heavy
as here, will advance crops and add thou
sands to the prospective benefits OF

SCOIRGED BY SNEAE.x-POX.
The Plague SeizIn2 Upon VIC
tins at Fort Worth.

1t had been reported here that small
pox was in existence at Fort Worth but
up to yes erday there was no proof that
would warrant, here at least, a public
announcement that the reports were
true. We did, however last evening
learn from a source that we must believe
good that this dread disease not only
exists there but is really spreading. The
first report we had was that there were
eight cases III the city, three of them
being IN negro family and other five
among white people in different parts of
that four more cas-, had developed and
it seems that our sister city is the highth
of misfortune. We refer to the existence
of this dreaded malady that our people
may be warned in time for we know not
when this type of disease may enter at
our gates. That great benefactor, the
railroad, has lately brought US nearer
than ever before to our nelghbor and
only eighty light miles intervenes be-
tween us and the breath of death. If it
exists there to the extent that We
are informed by Fort Worth men, one
OF whom we spoke with, being of the
medical profession. We can hardly say
that it may not be imported any day, for
there is constant intercourse between
the two cities and it is of that character
that we cannot stop. The only thing
we can do is to take all the home safe
guards we can. Sanitary matters, on
which so much has been said and so
little done, should be closely looked
after, and all outdoor and indoor health
precautions used, that we may not have
to reproach ourselves with having inyi-
ted any deadly malady. As far as we
have been able to learn no one is able to
say how small pox came to break out III
Fort Worth, but we will all most heart
lily hope that the science of that city
may be able to arrest its farther spread
and restore to health those who are now
sufferers. Meanwhile, let us in Waco
look to the good health of this city by
all proper attention. The CITY wisely
established pest house some time ago,
which we hope may stand long and
eventually rot down to its foundation
without patient, but lest it might have
some let us, each, as far as We can
work to avert such possibility.

THE TEXAS VETERANS,
a Compliment From Them He
Waco and Her Citizens.

The ExAMINER is in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter from Moses Austin Bryan,
secretary and treasury of the Texas Vet
Grams association:
INDEPENDENCE, Washington Co.
May ,, 1882.
Examiner Publishing Company:
GENTLEMEN,-l have received the 25O
copies of the EXAMINER and have been
handed copies OF the Weekly ard have
sent them to supervisors OF the Veterans
association scattered over the state. i
hope your subscription will be Increased.
The old veterans. their wives AMI the
widows OF deceased veterans, so tar a |
heard any expression said that the citizens
OF the Central City" did every thing
that could be done to make the reunion
pleasant and agreeable. Some old men
and women (whO like myself have been
in Texas for over fifty years. that met
expressed their establishment, TO see the
change in what we had known for So
many years as the Waco village" in the
early settlement OF Texas by white pc pile
Waco's hospitality will be remembered
by the old veterans TO the end OF their
time on earth. Respectfully,
Moses a. BRYAN,
Sect. Texas Veteran Association.
We are glad to learn that the aged he
rOes who bought Tor Texas people OF to
day the proud heritage they enjoy, felt
during their stay in the city, that Waco
people treated them with all the hOspl-
tality possible. 1t has always been the
desire of the people of Waco TO do all that
could reasonably be demanded toward
making the stay OF guest agreeable, AMI
on the occasion OF the veterans visit the
generosity and patriotism of the people
| was called forth. True we might have
! been more demonStrative. but most people
| thought that absence OF display, gaud,
| glare and tinsel, and more real substantial
entertainment would suit those old people
| better, and in consequence the veterans
were entertained without much parade.
! This course. however. seemed to please
them more than "glittering generalities'
might have done. From what we are
able TO learn they give us credit for more
than we really deserve, but though we
had done them more honor than has ever
been done them before, we would still feel
that we had fell short of what we should
do Tor that band who are to-day the tath
ers OF Texas, and entitled to its greatest
bounty. We can assure the members OF
the association through their honorable
secretary that Waco people feel proud oil
the good name the veterans have so unan
imously given Waco Village tor the
small honOrs shown them during theiI
stay with us.

Senatorial GuzZIarS.

a good deal of the gossip about the
Presidents drinking comes from the
senate. The senate is regular club
room, so far as mere gossip is concerned.
Some OF the senator's who have been
rather inclined to listen to the stories
about President Arthur luxurious ways
Of living would do well to look around
among their own associates before criti-
cising the President. There is a great
deal of heavy drinking done in and
about the senate. Senators have to at
tend great many dinners during the
winter, where they sit through a great
manylcourses Of different kinds of wines.
The result is to fasten upon man with
the slightest inclination in that direction
the habit of heavy drinking. A we'll
known southern senator. two or three
weeks ago, was off on spree for ten
days, although he was reported sick.
Two or three eastern senators come into
the senate nearly every day actually
drunk-not drunk enough for the gale
rles to notice anything peculiar, but
drunk enough not to be tit for public
business. There is more drinking in
the senate than there is in the house.

GeOrgIa's Curious Shaking
Rock.
Charlottesville Democrat

Charlottesville Democrat,
One of the main points of interest
here is an eccentric freak of nature
known as Shaking Rock, and never a
stranger comes to Lexington and leaves
without some of the people-proud al
ways of their village and all about it
shown him this place. / cannot better
describe it than by saying it is the odd
est thing any one ever saw. In the rear
Of the home of the late Gov. Gilmer is a
huge boulder standing by itself on the
edge OF stream. Upon this boulder is
placed another rock, weighing about
twenty tons. 1t rests on pinnacle not
two feet square. SO evenly is it bal
anced that the slightest touch viii cause
it to rock, and yet a hundred horses
could not pull it from its socket. There
it has stood for ages subjected to wind
and storm unmoved, silent monument
Of the power of the Creator.
