CLEVELAND, January 225.-.All
through the trial Mra. Garfield and
tie late Presidents mother have
kept their thoughts as far away from
it as possible, reading little, if any
thing concerning it, and holding lit
tie conversation about it. The re-
suit of the jury's short deliberation
was Immediately telegraphed to Mrs.
Garfield by a friend at Washington.
To a caller, this evening, she said
there was nothing she could say 10
the public about it, or that she de-
sired to say. The news was received
in Cleveland with grim satisfaction
and thankfulness, and when announc-
I'd from the stage at the two leading
places of amusement was received
with loud applause. A Mentor fa:,
mer, who arrived on the Z o'clock
train, overheard the news, and, tax
ing off his hat, said fervently: "Thank
God it has come at last.

Augusta and Knoxville Railroad.

1t was extensively rum ed yester-
day that the Augusta and Knoxville
Railroad stock held by the city OF
Augusta had been sold to the South
Carolina Railroad. A Representative 9
OF the Chronicle called on the Mayor
and asked him if there was any truth
in the rumor. His Honor said there
was not. He had heard the rumor
himself, but it was not true.
The city owns $4,000 of the stock
or 1000 shares. This, with the stock
recently sold by the State of South
Carolina to citizen of Augusta,
forms controlling interest in the
road. The rumor credited the South
Carolina Railroad With endea7orine
10 purchase both these blocks oi
stocks. The control of the Green.
vile and Columbia Railroad by the
Clyde Syndicate cuts the South Car.
olina Railroad off from the upper
part of South Carolina. By obtain.
ing the Augusta and Knoxville and
its connections the South Carolina
Railroad would be enabled to reach
the section traversed by the Green.
