The sunday cigar Question.

During the present week a great deal
has been said by persons engaged in
the tobacco and cigar business concern
ing the Mayors order to them, to close
their places OF business on Sunday.
This is matter that deeply interests
many persons in the city, and it is only
surprise that said order was 80 gener-
ally obeyed. 1t is now alleged, how
ever, by those that did close, that there
were some, and some of the leading
dealers, that continued to sell all the
day long, and that thus far no arrests
have been made. Another cause of
complaint is that the druggists in the
city are all selling cigars, aCI GONE. of
them sell both cigars and tobacco. Now
it appears to me that this is clear vio-
lation of the privilege granted them, tor
they certainly have no more right to
sell those articles or Soda Water than
their neighbors have 20 sell their wares.
If am in the grocery business, l am
keeping great many articles that my
customers think they stand in need
of, and for their accommodation l
have equal right to expose my goods
for sale; some of those that were closed
up on last Sunday say that they intend
hereafter to sell as heretofore; 1t is hop
ed by many good and lawabiding citi-
zens that the Mayor will charge the
police to be more than ordinarily vigi-
liant. feel certain that firm deter
mination on his part to abate the nui-
sance will be sustained by a large ma
jority of respectable citizens; serious
question is before US. DO we, or do We
not, believe in the observance of the
Sabbath day? If not, let us blot it out
altogether, raze the churches to their
foundations, and write over the entran.
ces to our cemeteries as in the day Of
infidel France, that death is an eter-
nal sleep. Before close let me COM
mend the Mayor for his prompt action

The morning was spent in croquet,

meal of meat and vegetables anywhere
down town or along the wharves toI
fifteen cents. Potatoes are thrown il
free, and for dinner two sorts Of vegeta'
bles-potatoes and turnips generally
thrown In free. There is no scrimping
in quantity, and you can get no better
meat in the New York res taurant than
you can get at some of the cheap res
taurants about the Washington mar
kets.
These are not little cellar shops or
market stands, but great establishments
employing hundreds of walters. Many

of them is the first place in the city to

There is an eat-in.a.hurry pay.and.get-

you are in your seat your order is TAX
en-, and before You are fairly settled
down your meal is slapped down before
you on the plate you are to eat it from

Sill I'm a critical Condition.

During the greater part Of yesterday,
Joseph Price, the colored lad who was
shot on the morning of the Fourth by
Otley Dumpson. was in very critical
condition, and suffered the most intense
agony. Squire O'Neill called at the
house and took his statement of the
affair, which was the SANG as that pub
lished in yesterday's REPUBLICAN.
DR.. Hazlett again administered NOR.
phine, until the severe pains were re.
lieved, and it is the intention of the
physician to keep him under Its intlu-
ence. Last evening Squire Brady
visited him to take an ante-mortem
statement, but the boy felt so much
easier, that he refused to say that he
expected to die, so the taking of the
statement was deferred for the present.
After consultation of his physicians
aboui 10 o'clock last night, Dr. Hazlstt
stated that it was their cpiaion that
the condition of the patient at this
time had greatly improved. They
think that the ball is lodged in the an.
terror wall of the abdomen on the right
side. Otley Dumpson is still in custody
and will be held TO await the result of
his Injuries.

THE BODY OF GUITEAU.
THE REMAINS SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM
THE JAIL ON MONDAY.


| WASHINGTON, July B The Evening
Star says "On Monday night wagon
drove into the enclosure of the jail and
was for short time out OF sight. When
1t reappeared 1t was driven to the city
and into On0 of the alleys through
which the rear part of the Army Medi.
cal Museum is reached. This wagon
without doubt contained the body of
Charles j. Guiteau, but the removal
having been made with secrecy there
we're but few even of the Jail guards
who knew Of the departure of the re-.
Mains"
At the Army Medical Museum to-day
none of the physicians or other officials
would say anything about the where.
abouts of Guiteau'S body or what
would be done with 1t. DIR. Lamb said
very decidedly: ~ don't know any
thing" Before it was decided to bury
the body in the Jail Warden Crocker
had an understanding with DIR. Hicks
that 1t should be removed to the Army
Medical Museum. Warden Crocker,
when asked about this latest removal"
today, seemed rathtr displeased that
anything should Lave transpired con-
cerning it.
He said simply: "If the body Is not
at the Medical Museum it will be there
in day or two." 1t was the warden's
intention not to make the fact of the
exhuming public for some weeks at
least. Rev. DIR. Hicks was at the office
of the Register of Wills this morning
with Guiteau's will making inquiry as
to proving it. He did not file 1t, how.
ever.
The official report of the surgeons who
had charge of the Guiteau autopsy is
not yet ready and when ready it may
not be signed by all of the participating
surgeons.
Doctors Sewers and Hartigan, two of |
the physicians, claim that DR.. Lamb,
the third physician, has prepared re-
port for Philadelphia medical journal |
on his own account and without their |
concurrence. Before the autopsy an
agreement was made by the surgeons
that the final examination should be |
made at the National Museum, where |
the body was to be kept. DR.. Lamb |
sent the other doctors to-day a letter,
saying that he had consulted with other
and had concluded that the
agreement did not prevent his sending |
report to medical journal.
Doctors Sewers and Hartigan replied,
DR.. Lamb to furnish copy |
of all the notes taken at the autopsy to |
enable him to oformulatea report such as
they might be willing to sign. This
DR.. Lamb refused to do, saying that he
did not regard Drs. Hartigan and Sow
ers as officially connected with the au-
topsy or report.
