ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
OFFERED FOR GUITEAU's BODY.
The Assassin Likes the Offer, but
Thinks IL May BE DOubIed-Re-
solved 10 Speak Last In His own
Defense.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-Mr. Scoville
has received bona tide proposition from q
medical gentleman for the body of Charles
j. Guiteau. This gentleman, whose name
Mr.. Scoville declines to make public at
present, has offered to pay down immedi-
ately one thousand dollars purchase money,
on condition that he shall have the body of
the prisoner, as soon as the exactions Of the
law have been met, to dispose of as he shall
see fit. He also agrees to take his chances
of waiting one month or twenty years for
the consummation of the bargain on Gui-
teau's part.
This somewhat liberal proposition was
submitted to Guiteau to-day, and seemed to
impressed him quite favorably. After re-
fecting moment he suggested: 81 think |
ought to bring more than that. Perhaps
some other fellow will offer 50 000 Then l
can pay my debts, and, II | have to get a
new trial, that miserable COrkhill can't bring
on a lot Of fellows just to swear how much
| owe them"
The only persons admitted to the prison
er's cell to-day we're j. W. Guiteau, his
brother, and a friend who accompanied
him. The brothers held a long conference
In an effort to arrange the order OF the
arguments to be made before the Jury.
Guiteau not only insisted upon speaking in
his own behalf, but in making the closing
argument for the defense. He cannot, he
says, at this late stage jeopardize his case by
allowing Scoville to have the last say.

A PARTISAN'S DARING ACT.
Why johnson. the Kentucky Gene
raj, Came TO Be Called "OId Stove.
pfpe.1

Oscar l.. Barbour in Philadelphia Times.
In fifteen days his squad had increased
to twenty-seven men. Then he put into
executio3 a movement that stands, foI
audacity, unrivaled in that or any other
war. At Newburg, Warrick county,
Ind, town of about one thousand peo-
pie, twelve miles above Evansville, on
the Ohio river, was garrison composed
of part of an Indiana regiment, alto
gether about one hundred and eighty
men. On the Kentucky side of the
river and Immediately opposite the town,
one lovely morning in the early part of
July, 1862, might have been seen very
formidable three-gun battery, as OBJ
served from Newburg, but in reality
three harmless stovepipes mounted on
wagon wheels. The pipes were manned
by about a dozen citizens, who,
through curiosity, had followed the
daring 'twenty-seven" to see the
effect of the ruse. Sending Lieutenant
Martin, afterward the Colonel of the
Tenth Kentucky Cavalry, with twenty.
four men, to cross the river a mile above.
Johnson, with only three men, entered
a skiff and pulled directly across to the
town. Leaving one man at each of the
principal streets, he advanced alone to
the arsenal, hoping to find it vacated
and abandoned. Reaching the door at
the foot of the long spiral stairway. and.
pushing it open, there stood eighty-nine
Federal soldiers, their rifles bearing on
his breast, their fBgers nervously press
ing the triggers, and each waiting for the
signal. Here retreat was certain death
to hesitate was also dangerous. He ad-
vanced, and with his double barrel shot
gun pushed up the first file of rifles bear
inc on him, and in clear, steady com.
mand ordered the guard to stack
arms and surrender at the peril of their
lives" Dumbfounded, the entire guard
came down the stairs, stacked their arms
and were marched into a room, at the
door of which Johnson planted himself
until Muslin with twenty four men ar
rived. Muslin coming, paroling one
hundred and sixty four prisoners, secur-
ing over two hundred stands of arms and
ammunition, medicine chest, etc., were
hurriedly gone through with to avoid an
attack from the gunbOat Alert, then as
eending the river from Evansville.
Reaching the Kentucky shore safely
with his captured arms, johnson did not
prOtract his stay there in order to test The
unique battery of stovepipes. But for
all that this artillery that never fired a
shot gave the inventor the soubriquet of
"Stovepipe" Johnson, and by which he
was familiarly known all over the Con
federacY.

Famous Theatre Fires.
London Times.

The most fatal of theatre fires, unless
il ehOuld turn out to be surpassed by the
Vienna catastrophe, was the burning of
the Saragossa theatre in 1778, when 600
persons lost their lives. At the Carls-
ruhe theatre, in 1847, 104 persons per.
ished. The burning of the OperL House
at Nice in the year 1881, in which SO per
sons were burned or crushed to death, is
still fresh in the public memory. In
these islands many theatres have been
burnt down, but some prOvidential chance
has always interviewed to limit the pro
portions of the catastrophe. The fire had
broken out in the daytime, the perform
ance had not begun or had ended, or
there were few spectators in the house.
If, for example, the Surrey theatre, when
it was burnt down during the daytime in
1865, had contained an audience, few
would have escaped alive, so rapid was
the action of the flames. But of all the
calamities which have ever in modern
times overtaken a crowd of human
beings in a single building, the burning
of the church of La Campania, Santiago,
in 1868, has never been equalled or ap-
preached. In one short hour 1000 peO-
pie, nearly all ladies of youth, rank and
beauty, were reduced to ashes. The
flower of the capital of Chill had gather
ed in the church, in a spirit of religious
excitement, TO pay its devotions at the
closing celebration Of the Immaculate
Conception. Every seat was full.
Nothing that invention could suggest or
wealth supply was omitted in the adorn-
ments of the occasion. The interior
of the church was hung
from roof to floor with
floating gauze and rich drapery, and
lighted with festoons of innumerable
paraffine lamps. An acolyte, in lighting
the last lamp before the shrine, raised
fame which spread instantaneously. A
rush soon choked the entrances with a
wall of dead and dying twelve feet in
height. The melting lead from the roof
and the blazing oil Of the severed lamps
poured down upon the heads of 1000
tender women, who could be seen from
the windows of neighb0Ting houses
rushing wildly to and fro without an
outlet of escape. The falling of the roof
put an end to their agonies, and com
pleted a catastrophe which stands with
out parallel.

VIRGINIA'S DEBT.
Governor Cameron on the Problem.

RICHMOND, Va, January 6.-Governor
Cameron sent in his first message to the
General Assembly to-day. In it he recon-
mends the adoption, without unnecessary
delay, Of measures which shall provide for
the discharge Of the public obligations upon
the basis set forth in the act passed by the
last General Assembly, and known as
the "Riddleberger BILL" Great misap-
prehension exists, he says, as to
the purpose Of the people of Virginia in re-
gard to the final settlement of the cOntrO-
veTsY concerning the State debt. As he un-
de stands the views and will OF the people,
they do not intend to repudiste any just OBJ
legation, but to assume and pay that portion
OF the principal which is properly charge
able to the present State of Virginia, and to
restore all classes of creditors to plane of
equality.
The true Indebtedness of the State, he says,
should be determined by computing full in
terest 70 date Of settlement from the period
when Virginia lost control Of and ceased TO
draw revenue from the territory embraced
10 West Virginia. Second, by crediting
against the sum total of principal and in
terest so obtained acknowledged payments
on both accounts made by Virginia since
the partition Of her territory. II this shall
be done, and provision made for the liquida-
ton Of the amount so found to be due, no
charge of Reputation can be laid at the
door Of the people OF this commonwealth.
As to the rate of interest, which can and
should be paid on the principal so
ascertsined and assumed, the Governor says
that all parties in the State are agreed that
the present rate OF taxation Cannot he in
creased, and that careful estimates establish
the DrODOsitfOp that three Oer oent Is the
largest rate of interest that can be provided
for with certainty. The Governor concludes:
"We are supported in this conclusion not
only by the financial experience of many
years, but also by the fact that the proposed
interest is as great as the average rate paid
by the debtor class of the world on public
securities at the present day."

WESTERN MAIL SERVICE.
A Letter to Congress from the RetIr.
Ing Postmaster General.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-The President
sent to the Senate to-day the following let
ter from the late Postmaster General with
regard to the responsibility of the sureties
upon the bonds accompanying the bids and
contracts for mail service during the last
four years:
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
d G., January 3, 1SS2.-SIR: l have the
honor to transmit herewith a letter from
Hon. George Bliss, special counsel of the
United States for the prosecution of the
star route cases, and the report of Inspec-
tors Tidball and Shallcross. detailing the
result OF the most careful examination into
the responsibility Of the sureties
upon the bonds accompanying the
bids and contracts for mail
service during the four years. This report
seems to show conclusively that there have
been imposed upon the Post Office Depart
ment not less than thirteen thousand bonds,
the sureties upon which were, with perhaps
few exceptions, utterly worthless, and were
known to the parties who presented them
to be worthless. There is reason to believe
that the same parties will present large
number of proposals at the letting
OF the mali service west Of Mis-
sissippi river. which is to take
place on the 7th OF this month, and | am
advised that the Postmaster General would
have no authority to reject such bids, if
regular In form, while it is impossible to
properly investigate the responsibility Of
the sureties before the time when the con-
tracts must be awarded. Under these cir
cumstances it seems to me proper that the at
tention # Congress should be called to this
condition Of the law, and a change be made
in which some power may be vested in the
department to debar from bidding persons
who have hitherto been engaged in such
practices. AS in order to make the remedy
effective at the next bidding, immediate
action on the part of Congress will be re-
qutred, call your attention to the matter
instead Of leaving it to my successor.
Every respectfully,
"THOMAs L. JAMES,
POSTMASTER General.

A ROMANCE OF THE WEST.
How a Man Married His First Love
After the Lapse of Many Years.
Denrer (CoLN Trihnns

A wedding Of very romantic charac-
ter occurred in this city few mornings
ago. 1t was the denOuement of a court
ship of thirty-four years ago-a happy
consummation of youthful love-show-
ing how incurable are the wounds in.
visible that loves keen arrows make.
DR.. John Smith, now on visit to Den
yer is a wealthy merchant and influential
citizen of New Mexico. When quite q
young man he loved young lady IN an
Eastern State, and in return receiv I'd the
most undying assurance of Ter affection
toward him. But fate intervened. Cir
cumstances of a peculiar nature pre-
vented their union, and, after the first
pangs of disappointed love were past, both
were married and went their separate
ways with their companions. A few years
later they lost sight of each other, but
never forgot their youthful attachment.
The lady married a gentleman named
Fitzpatrick, with whom she moved to
Missouri. A few years ago her husband
died, and near the same time Doctor
Smith became widower. Two weeks
ago Doctor Smith resolved to take a trip
East in search of his boyhood sweet.

last week he took a room at the st.
James Hotel and commenced looking
after some business among the mer-
chants. Two days after his arrival,
while looking over the hotel register,
Doctor Smith, to his great surDrise,
read the name of Mrs. Fitzpatrick, from
Missouri. He sought an interview at
once, aud for the first time in thirty
four years beheld his old sweetheart

BRUNSWICK HARBOR.
Improvements by the United States

BRUNSWICK, GA, January 5.--Edit0r Morning
Netos Since the railways terminating at this

been absorbed in two great "syndicates" or
railway combinations" the Importance of
this harbor as a transshipping point has great
ly increased. and the improvements now in
course OF completion. in part and In progress,
are looked upon with increased anxiety by all
parties interested
The shoal that has formed in the channel op-
posite Brandy Point at the lower end of the

To carry forward this work for the fiscal
year-next-an appropriation Of $4,000 is
needed. and to make the auxiliary works con-
templated At the head Of BUzzard Island fur
ther sum Of S25 roo will be- wanted Thus it Is
seen that a total amount of S75 600 is required
az this harbnr for the next year to complete it
The last two appropriations of $4,000 and
5000 are about exhausted. and the work must
therefore be suspended until more money is
Obtained
1t is unfortunate that larger sums were not
given by the last Congress, and delay now in
pushing the work to completion not only de-
lays the work that much longer but when the
work is left for a season it is always impaired
by the currents that are drifting sands into
places where they are not wanted and taking
them from places where they are wanted.
Col. Black and Gov Brown and other mem

TelegraphIng from q Moving Train.
Santa Barbara press

On September 27, through Messrs.
Dewey q Co., patent was issued to q
resident of Santa Barbara for a method
OF telegraphing from moving railroad
car. The invention enables each freight
or passenger train to have its own tele-
graph Office. Two wires are required in
stead of one, and those are suspended
directly over the track, and above the
moving train. They are paralleled and
about eighteen inches apart One wire
is connected with battery at the station
from which the train starts, and the
other with battery ut the terminal sta
ton. They are so suspended that by
somewhat ingenious arrangement light
running wheels can run along them from
one end of the road to the other. The
wheels are insulated from each other,
but are connected with wires that pass
down the roof of the car to the operating
instrument, and through it complete to
the circuit. As the car moves the
wheels are drawn along on the wires just
above it, and a constant current of elec-
tricity is maintained between the initial
and terminal stations through the ,mov-
ing car.
Without attempting to enumerate the
advantages of the invention. some of the
more obvious may be mentioned. All
train reports and all orders from train
dispatchers will be communicated direct
ly TO the conductor and engineers while
the train is in motion. Passengers~can
receive and transmit messages at any
moment during their Journey, without
any of the irCOnyeniences now expert
enced. Directors am. distinguished
parties travelling in their own private
cars will find it especially convenient to
have telegraph Office constantly at hand
But the one great value of the inven-
ton, after all, will be its preservation of
life and property by preventing COLI
sions.

FATAL FOLLY.
Three Boys Explode a Powder Mag
aZlne I'm Iowa.

OsKALOosA, Iowa, January Ga terrific
explosion Of five hundred kegs of powder,
the property of the American Powder Com
panY, occurred yesterday afternoon. 1t was
caused by three boys, John Phillips, son of
the Mayor, Gerald Joyce and John Stedman, ,
who used the side OF the powder maya
zine, a wooden structure, as a target for
rife practice. They were instantly killed,
and their bodies, frightfully mangled and
burned, were hurled from so to 200 yards
away. Nearly all the plate glass windows
in the business quarter were broken by the
conclusion, and many houses in the south
ern part of the city were badly DAMAGED.
The losses will aggregate not less than $50,
600. Many persons were injured by the
falling glass and debris. The shock was
felt at Monroe, distance Of thirty miles.
