-Guteau believes that he will be grant
ed q new trial, but the indications are that
he will be dis appointed There is not o
g God lawyer in the country, who does not
laugh at the absurdity Of the plea that the
District of Columbia court has no jurisdic
ton in Guiteau's case because Garfield died
in New Jersey. The shot which killed
Garfield was fired with murderous intent in
the District, and that settles it.

Chief Myers made a trip to Missouri
yesterday forenoon in pursuit of the men
who stole and sold the mare and mules re-
| ferred to several times in these columns. II
was reported that two strangers answering
to the description given of the sellers OF the
animals had recently come to Missouri aud
were employed there. The chief found the
strangers referred to, but found also that
they were not the men he wanted. The
real thieves are two sharp fellows, in fact
one of them who sold the mule to Mr..
Glenn, signed his name to q receipt for the
the money as "John Sharp" They were
both well armed, quick and glib takers.
Speaking of the letter of DR.. j. II.
Rauch and the accompanying resolutions
of the Illinois Board of health, with refer
ence to the possible temperance of yellow
fever in the southern states, the Louisville
Courier Journal says; "The Illinois board
certainly cannot be censured for this reso-
luton, for that state extends far down to
the febrile region, and it is refreshing to
note the public spirit of the sanitary au
thorities this early 10 the season DR.,
Rauch's early action as to yellow fever is
based on his belief, shared by many physi
clans, that the mildness of the past winter,
and the fermentation of the animal and veg.
etable matter left by the great flood, will
produce conditions favorable for the devel-
opment of yellow fever. The maintenance
of the most rigid quarantine regulations is
necessary, and all the state boards of health
in the valley should be preparing for the
possibilities Of the summer"

Mr.. Redburn's, Mr.. Schroeder's and Mr.
Gayer's COWS, oil within the last few
months, and THAI defendant had paid him
, from seven to twelve dollars each for pro-
curing them. With regard to Mr. Gayers
COW in particular he said that last Monday
he was walking down Eighth street toward
Commercial avenue, when defendant who
was standing in the door of his shop called
him across the street and into the back
