ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

CHICAGO. June IA Washington spe-
cial says The Critic has the following sem
sational story: Guiteau realizes that every
succeeding day hastens him near that time
when the sentence of the law will be exc
cuted. The cheerful demeanor and hope
full expressions which characterized him
throughout have vanished. The familiar
accent and bravado is gone, and in its
stead the ashen hue of terror has ap-
peared. Reading and writing, once his
f~avorite occupations, are not now resorted
to by the assassin. His earnest ponder
ings, only relieved when occasionally he
PAGES the stone floor OF his cell, unmind-
full of the death watch, whose eyes are ever
upon him, wringing his hands and talking
nights since he repaired to his cot 10
o'clock, and in less than half an hour woke
in the most startled manner, and looking
wildly around, exclaimed: Il see horrible
phantoms before me. What shall l do?
My poor brain reels. Oh, why did l as
sassinate him?" 1t took some time to
pacify the assassin, and when he became
quiet, he quietly said: Don't mind what
l said; l was dreaming. We all dream at
times. l am no coward, nor am I afraid
to die. But" he continued, sit is not
| possible that President Arthur is going to
permit them to hang me after what l did
to redeem the Republican party. l do not
believe he will. If he reprieves me or
commutes my sentence, the hoodlums will
howl, but the respectable element of So
ciety will stand by him and endorse his
action Having relieved his mind on
that score he again retired to his cot, but
only to find troubled rest. A gentleman
who lately visited Guiteau spoke OF the
near approach of the hanging day, be-
seeching him to make his peace with God.
Turning with a ha~lf-frightened look the
latter said: IF my man fails in this matter;
if Charley Reed does not succeed, and if
President Arthur does not stretch out his
hand to save me, there is another one
above who prompted me to take one life
for the country's good, and who protected
me from the bullets Of Mason and Jones,
who will still protect me. The first hand
that is laid upon me for the purpose of do
ing violence will be instantly withered. 1
fear not mans power; l am Gods man,
and He will protect me-"
The Great strike at tho East.
PIrTsBURG, June 1.-The date set by the
Amalgamated Association of iron and steel

tanned three Of the five iron mills in New
port, Kentucky, will shut down to day.
1t is not certain what course the other two
will take.
~IRoNDALE South Chicago, June l.
The men at the Irondale mills are all out
on a strike. A dispatch has Just been re-
ceived from Mr.. Jarret, President of the
Amalgamated Association, stating that
he will be here to-day, though it is a aues-
ton whether they will continue or not,
which will be settled upon his arrival.
There is no disturbance, though about
'200 men have quit work. The represen-
tatives Of the manufacturers are here, and
seven men are in consultation with them.
The impression is that they will be or
cered to go to work on Jarret's arrival.
Governor Crittenden's Denial.
JEFFERSON CITY, June 1.-Gov. Critten-
den denies having offered Frank James
a pardon, or having any proposition from
Attorney Hair in regard to a pardon, or
any other form Of executive clemency in
behalf of James. He further denies hav-
ing made any proposals to the Governors
other States, asking them to join him in
extending clemency to James, and adds
that James has never applied to him for
clemency or pardon. 1t will be observed
that while Gov. Crittenden denies that he
been in communication with Attorney
Hair on this subject, he does not deny
having received proposals from other
friends of that noted bandit, and the opin-
ion still prevails that negotiations for a
and clemency are pending.
