WASHINGTON, January 26.-The juror
in the Guiteau case say that even had they
hadanopportunity to read the newspapers

for they were determined from the flrstno

DETROIT, January 26.-Quite an excite
ment was stirred up at the Opera House
last night where Herman, the magician,
was exhibiting. Between the perform
ances the result Of the Guiteau trial was an.
nounced, when the audience at once broke
into loud applause. In the midst OF the
noise o hiss from the gallery was heard. As
soon as the sign Of appreciation subsidized a
little the hiss became more audible and
there were cries OF condemnation. A
special officer instantly discovered the man
who was bissiRg, and stepping down the
aisle advised him to desist, This attracted
attention to him, and before the officer
could get him out Of the theatre crowd OF
men and boys near by pitched upon the
offender. The fellow was badly cut and
bruised by his patriotic assailants and re-
moved with great difficulty. He managed
TO help himself as soon as he was put out

AT MENTOR.
CLEVELAND, January 28.-The feeling at
Mentor can best be explained by reciting
u touching little incident which occurred
at the Union depot when the evening
train arrived. An old gentleman who has
long resided in Mentor alighted and Joined
q group OF men who were discussing the
action OF the jury. "They were out but
ten minutes" observed one.
"And what was the verdict?" nervously
inquired the old gentleman.
"Guiltyln replied bystander.
"Thank God for that ~ exclaimed the
old man, reverently barring his kead. Gus
tice has been done"
He voiced the sentiments at Mentor.
TIE NEWS RECEIVED BY rnR pREsIDEST's
FAMILY.
The finding Of the jury was Immediately
telegraphed from Washington to the family
OF the dead President. The widow and the
mother of the illustrious victim had antici-
pated no other result-they could not bring
themselves to believe that justice would
fail to overtake the vile reptile whose infa-
nous deed had overwhelmed them with
grief. But they are women whose hearts
are too full Of sorrow to have room for re-
vengeful feelings, and the news OF the con-
viCtion Of Guiteau comes to them rather as
the vindication of National Justice than as
the avensfng OF personal wrongs. They do
not see how the result OF the trial could
have been different; they accept it us
foregone conclusion, and as more impor.
tant to the public, who will have other
Presidents to guard and protect, than to
themselves, whose great stay and reliance
was so causelessly taken from them.
ONLY SECOND TO TIE TRIUMPH OF TIE UNION
CAUSE.
MADISON, ND. January 26.-The re.
joiclng is universal over the verdict in the
Guiteau case, and salute OF fifty guns is
to be fired in honor OF the Jury. The
Courier says the influence Of the verdict
upon the future OF the country is only sec
ond to the triumph OF the Union cause:
that it marks the death OF the insanity
dodge aAd strengthens the law for centuries
to come.
