Scenes and Incidents.
Yesterday tickets OF admission to the Jail,
had they been transferable, would have
commanded large figures. From 800 to
$500 was offered for tickets. There were
no genuine ones for sale, but it having
been reported at the Jail that there were
well-executed counterfeits out it was deter
mined to stop all such presented. Accord
inely an alphabetical list OF those to whom
masses or invitations had been issued was
prepared. and the guards assigned to the
door were instructed to admit no one I'M
less his name appeared on that list.
NEWSPAPER MEN ALL NIGHT AT THE JAIL.
Quite number OF newspaper men were
Mt the Jail all night, most OF them occupy
ing the front office and doing their writing
on such tables rs they could ind. Some OF
them. after getting through with their
work for the night, bunked on the settees,
Others passed the time i'll playing game OF
cards. others seeking what places they could
- +ol-, N in vacant
cell. Rev. DR.. Hicks. ut desk in the
stOrerOOm, wrote up his diary, ana uiu hot
retire till 4 O'Clock.
About q o'clock some outside newspa-
rer correspondents commenced 10 arrive,
and in a short time thereafter some persons
could be seen strolling near the Jail.
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED At THE WHITE
HOUSE.
The first news that the hanging had taken
place was received at the White House
shortly after / O'Clock by the newsboys
CRYING "eXtra Star" The Cabinet Was in
session Mt the time, and the only word that
the President received that the execution
had taken place was the cry OF the news
bows heard through the open windows. A
general feeling OF relief seemed to peryade
the White House, from highest to the low
est, when they were assured that ali was
over.
FLUCTUATIONS OF FEELING.
About ten days since it was supposed by
the Jail guards that the prisoner was show
ing signs Of weakening, or, in other words,
:" dropping down from his inspiration
.theory,n but for some reason, most proba-
bly because Of the efforts being made III his
behalf by Mr.. Reed, DR.. Beard, and others,
he subsequently became somewhat conll-
dent OF a respite, and his old manners re-
! turned. Being left 10 himself, he en-
| deayored In every way to study up some
means OF escape, and even proposed that
| General Croker and the deputy should re-
SIGN. With the idea that he would sue
ceed in some manner in having the officers
DELAY the execution until the hour OF
O'Clock should have elapsed, he prepared
on Monday last, not an address. as has been
reported. but prayer Tor the American
republic, intending that it should have
been published before the day arrived.
POISON FOR THE PRISONER.
The proposition was made to Rev. Dr.
Hicks that as he had the right TO enter
Guteau's cell whenever he was so dis
nosed. that he should smuggle poison in to
him SO that he might end his days thereby
and cheat the gaIlows. The proposition
was spurned by the minister.
Yesterday afternoon a bouquet OF fower'
was sent to the cell OF the prisoner by hi'
sister. Shortly Afterwards the lntcrview
took place between his sister and himself
Mrs. Scovilie begged hard 10 be permitted
fo 90 into the cell, but the warden refused
and that ceased Guiteau to break out IN de
nunciation of the authorities. SO persist
/ ent was Mrs. Scoville TO go into the cell, al
though she showed but little emotion, ahs
as the little girl carried in her hand q smal
basket. apparently OF ice-cream, that IN
officers became suspicious, aud every move
ment OF the visitors was watched, an,
nothing was allowed to pass into the cei'
The flowers were also removed. IL ma
have been that nothing looking to poisonih
was intended, but the officers deemed
best to give no opportunity Tor passing
anything to the prisoner.
I THE CAPITOL DESERTED.

before Congress met that visitors were lew
The fact was that the Jail offered greater =
