SHELDON House, CHICAGO, May Goth, 1882
Ny Dear Brother Charles:
hear through the papers that you still keep up
good courage, for which am thankful You GER
tainly deserve the commentator OF all people who
profess to be Christian for your answering trust
in GOdS power and willingness to protect you. II
you believed you were doing Gods will when you
shot the President, as I sincerely believe you did,
there can be no condemnation on Gods part to-
wards you, and no condemnation In your own
feart towards yourself. You have nothing
to do but to continue as you have from
the nrst done-trusting implicitly in God
and bis protecting. care-being willing to
do and TO suffer, II need be, all that he is
pleased to demand Of you. SO shall you have in
His eternal kingdom still greater weight OF
glory. God bless you, comfort you, protect you
and cheer your every lonely hour, my dear brother
-as He only can. Ishau not relax my efforts in
your behalf for a moment and / am sure Mr..
Reed will not Write me to the care OF the above
address soon. Your loving sister,

Guifeau,s Jail Life.

H HAS A DREAM OF FUTURE PROsPERIrY-Hg
READS HIS BIBLE-ANOTHBR CONDEMNED MAN IN
THE SAME CORRIDOR WITH HIN.
Guiteau has again changed somewhat In per.
sonal appearance, having had his whiskers (Which
had been growing about four weeks) shaved or
last week, leaving his face bare, with the excep-
lion OF his upper lip. on which he wears
mustaehe. Recently he has appeared to be In a
better humor than he was few days ago,
when II is supposed he took a dislike to a guard
being posted at his cell door continuously and was
also troubled as TO the disposition of his case
His sleep is somewhat disturbed. AT night, when
ever the guards pass around with the light, he
turns In his couch or rises.
GUITEAU's DREAM.
A few mornings ago he stated to one OF the Of
ncers that he had had a dream, to which he was
inclined to attach some Importance In his dream
ten years had passed and he was I'm full practice
In Chicago as lawyer with desk fun Of BRIEFS
He now deyotes almost all his time to the
READING OF TIE BTBLR
and one OF Moody's books, c'The Way to Heaven, y
and does not seem to desire any others. Yester-
day he was not allowed to see any one but during
the day some one passed In to him by an officer
number OF tracts, which he laid unopened on his
table and resumed the reading OF his Bible. Later
member OF the Free Methodist church sent to
him through Gen. Croker a book entitled God
man, and the devil" Guiteau, looking at the title
ad MS s0 name written az the the BY the
back and then turned again TO his Bible.
HB STILL HAS HoPk
In the afternoon he was informed OF the action
OF the Court In General Term on the subject OF a
rehearing, and he said to Gen Croker: awell, I
didn't expect anything else; but have not lost
hope, for this was only preliminary to something
else" 1t Is apparent now that he Is Just hoping
for something and viii clutch at q straw From
this time forth there will be intercourse allowed
with him by the outside world, unless 1t shall be
actually necessary for him TO have q few persons
each day to talk with In this case no outsiders
Wl be admitted, but the guards whose posts OF
duty are In the other wings OF the building and
who have not been brought much In contact with

may not be necessary, for Just at this time he
seems TO be devoted TO reading his Bible not even
taking all the time allowed him for exercise.

they cannot be collected until after the deter

and which is now pending in the circuit court OF

have been contracted for, fourteen locks have
been completed, and have a considerable guam

al. 900 is still due.
On the LIST Of April water was turned In the
canal, but prior to that time strike was inau-
gurated in the Cumberland region. which still
continues. SO that up to this time the canal has
been virtually withouttrade. This necesstated,
as far as possible, q total suspension Of all re-
pairs and improvements. The disastrous effect
Of the strike upon the canal is well-known.
The completion of the West Virginia Central
and Pttsburg railroad from near Bloomington,
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to the Elk
Garden coal fields a distance of nearly thirteen
miles il noted, and also the opening OF the mines
at Elk Garden, from which there is now being
shipped about 800 tons per day. The road Is
being rapidly extended as far as the Fairfax
Stone, with probability of its being completed
to that point during the present year. This i'm
mense coal field will make 1t one of the largest
coal corners east OF the Alleganies, and 1t will
be feeder of the canal.
The value OF the contract made between the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad company, the Ches-
apeake and Ohio canal company and the state
Of Maryland will soon be felt. 1t Is entirely safe
to say that but for 1t this new road would not
now have been constructed; and, II ever con-
structed, the canal company would not have
derived any benefit from it. large and pay
ing trade must follow from the completion of
the road.
The Indebtedness OF the company on the first
day Of May was as follows: To the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank of Baltimore. for tenn
pOrary loans, 32,500; repair bonds Of 1873 on
deposit, S10O. 600; loan from Alexander Brown
Sons, $4,000; bonds deposited $500

1000; bonds deposited, $50 900. The balance
Of the repair bonds Of 1878 are In the Safe De-
post company In Baltimore.
