GUlTEAU.
HOW HE SPENT HIS LAST DAY
Apparently Unconcerned About
His Fate.
A Pound of Beef and a Quart o1
Coffee for Breakfast.

WASHINGTON, June 29-Up to the
forenoon, Guiteau was apparently
unconnerned about what was trans
piring around him. He slept until
about o'clock, when he took for
breakfast a pound of broiled steak
with unlimited amount of potatoes,
bread and butter, and quan>
tity of coffee. Later in the
day as his relatives and friends paid
their farewell visits he occasionally
gave way to little excitement, but
the only manifestation of emotion
was when q boquet was brought
from his sister, Mrs. Scoville. This
weakening, however, was very brief.
He made a will bequeathing his
body to DR.. Hicks, his spiritual ad>
wiser, with an injunction that it shall
not be devoted to any mercenary
purpose. His book is also left to
DR.. Hicks. His counsel, Charles
Reed, drew the will. When taking
leave of his sister he in
sisted upon kissing her
for the last time through the bars of
his cell, asking that it be so recorded.
Either Warden Crocker or Assistant
Warden Rush was present at all of
these final interviews. At times
Guiteau broke out in denunciation of
President Arthur for his cowardice,
and of the warden and his deputy,
whom he accused of bounding
him to death.
Guiteau said he wished to be
hanged at noon, sharp, but warden
Crocker has set the hour at half
past one.
The gallows and rope were tested
last night with bag of sand weighs
ing $50 pounds, and stood the test
successfully.
New YORK, June 29.-In response
to a statement made by Mrs. Scoville,
concerning Guiteau's insanity, in a
letter to President Arthur in which
she mentioned Judge Porter and M.
e. Stone, of the Chicago Daily News.
The latter sends the following:
''Will the Associated Press say in
ten lines that Mrs. Scoville is miss
taken in her reference to me in her
letter to the President, printed to-
day. Signed: NJ E. STONE"

DR. HICKS, of Washington the
spiritual adviser of the assassin,
GuIteau, in addressing his congrega-
ton, it is reported, took occasion to
enter his solemn and earnest pro-
test against the bloodthirsty, vim
dictive, fiendish spirit that seems to
have taken possession of so large a
portion of the people of the coun-
try, in relation to the murderer.
The limited vision of the reverend
gentleman may recognize a condition
OF things such as to produce this
kind of severe comment; but, as we
see the matter, there has never been
an instance in history of greater
forbearaLce towards a malignant
criminal than in the case of Gui~
teaus. As for vindictiveness and
tiendishness, had it been present and
animating the great heart of fifty
millions Of people. Guiteau would
have been smnlnarily disposed of
long ago. The very reverse of what
is so tlippantly ami indecorously as
serted, is true of Americans, as a
rule. Dr. Hicks IS guilty OF base
SANDER which should condemn him
the world over.

From Washington County.
JoNEsBoRo,' Tenn, June %, 1882.

| '1Ono; IENN., uuc 20, 1909.
MIR. EDITOR The weather in this section
has been very wet, damaging wheat and
other crops, but still we will have enough
for ourselves and to spare.
There seems to be but little excitement so
far over the approaching August election
| Both the Republicans and the Democrats
have put out their best men for the different
| county offices In this county, and as we have
only small Republican majority here in
old Washington the result will be a little
doubtful, still the chances are that the Re
publics.ns will get the lions share, if we
| don't make clean sweep.
| We have, so far, one candidate announced
| for the Legislature, Mr.. Jesse P Hartman
MIR. IL. is staunch Republican, but is not
man famed for hi7 personal beauty, nor
Tor his polished manners. He bears q strik-
ing res snhlaI1s,e l., 80 late John Brown of
Harpei Ferry notoriety;. and is what
might De termed a politician-of the Crock
EFT school-in fact all he lacks of being a
complete Davy Crockett is the regulation
coon skin cap and hunting shirt, worn by
our forefathers a few generations back.
The friends of Senator A. j. Brown are
beginning to work up his interests for the
State Senate and he will without doubt
receive the nomination. Colonel Brown
made an excellent member this last session,
and his record as a senator is one that his
constituents may well feel proud of. The
colonel is a gentleman of irreproachable
| private character, and has the ability and
the experience to make successful canvass
against any Democratic readjuster that may
have the temerity to meet him on the
| stump.
We have plenty of candidates for Con
gress, and a number of others that would
| like to run if they only had good chance.
These candidates are all good men, and very
clever fellows, and their friends would like
to see them go to Congress, but can't send
| them all this year. we can only send one
man, and we are satisfied that that man will
be Major Pettibone. He has made US
good member; he has done and is doing a
great work for his people-more than any
other nan has done for us since the war;
! therefore, we feel that we must send him
back again.
Major Pettibone's course in Congress has
made him many friends; men that were
against HIM two years ago-that either voted
against him or refused to vote in the cleo
ton, are now heartily for him SO you may
count on the Majors nomination and cleo
| tion as certainty.

Railroad Accident.

LONG BRANCH, n. j., June o.
The express train which left Long
Branch at 5 minutes past this
morning met with terrible accident
while crossing the bridge over a
branch of Shrewsbury River, near
Little Silver Station The accident
was no doubt caused by spreading
of the rails. Six cars, including four
ordinary passenger coaches, smoking
car and Pullman parlor, Zenobia, left
the rails and ran over the ties of the
bridge, tearing them to splinters.
The cars kept on the bridge until
the train was half way across, when
the four passenger coaches and the
smoking car went over into the
water with a terrible crash. The
cars landed on their sides
in about four feet water.
The scene that followed
beggars description. An unknown
man from Ocean Beach was taken
out dead. The cars were filed with
passengers, but the number of ini ur-
ed IS unknown. There were about
one hundred persons hurt. Mr.
Demorest, of the firm of Demorest &
Co, of New York, is badly injured,
and will die. VIM r. Garrison, son
of Commodore Charles X Garrison,
Is terribly hurt in his chest. Chas.
W Woodruff, of Newark, and J. Mitch
ell, of Scranton, are also seriously
injured 1t is impossible to get the
names of others at present. Physi-
clans have been summoned
from the neighboring towns.
Charles I'll. Foster, the fireman
of the engine, pulled ex>President
Grant out Of the stricken car unin-
jured. Robert Raventon, an iron
merchant, of New York, injured bad
ly; a grocer named Edison, of Branch
Port, was crushed terribly; James
Brooks, of the firm of Brooks &
Dickson, theatrical managers, had his
collar bone broken; Morris H. Brown,
son of Thos. J. Brown, superinten-
dent of the Erie Railroad, received
