|1F A SPAN of Mayo's bridge across the
James River, Richmond, Va, gave way the
other day and precipitated the Manchester
stage, filled with passengers, into the water.
Several were hurt, but none fatally. All
were rescued by boats from the shore. The
whole span, nearly seventy-fve feet i'm
length, broke away from the two granite
pillars upon which it rested as clearly as if
each end had been sawed through, and
sank with a crash to the rocky bed of the
river beneath, distance OF nearly thirty
feet. Fortunately the falling span did not
tilt, and the stage remained upon the bridge
i'm an upright position until the bottom was
reached, when the vehicle was overturned
and the horses thrown into the water, and
became entangled in the iron work of the
bridge, their exertions dragging the stage
into the river. The male passengers sue
ceeded in getting out through tho broken
side of the Stage on the bridge span, which
remained in between the pillars, having
struck on the rocky bottom OF the river and
become fixed. They then quickly drew the
females out and all remained on the half
submerged debris until rescued.
Mr.. SCOvILLE'S motion for new
tIial in the Guiteau case was overruled by
Judge Cox, on the 4th. Inc prisoner, who
was seated a few feet in front of the Judge,
shouted: 81 would like, your Honor, to
defer passing sentence as long rs you can"
Without paying attention to this harangue,
the Court sternly ordered the prisoner to
stand up. at the same time asking him if he
had anything to say WHY sentence should not
be passed upon him. Clenching his fist and
pounding vigorously on the table, Guiteau
shouted that he was not responsible for his
act; that he had been impelled to do it by
the Deity, and other similar expressions
used by him during the conduct Of the case
He trembled violently, and all his bravado
deserted him as he appeared to realize the
danger of his position. ii did not occupy
more than two minutes in his speech, and
Judge Cox, after pointing to the enormitv
of his offense. and the universal horror it
had created, sentenced him to be hanged
june so. 1882. When the Judge pronounced
the solemn prayer, ''May God have mercy
on your soul, /" Guteau, with cry of agony,
said: "And yours, too; Court, jury and
COUNSEL" then mumbled something about
having flight to glory, and repeated that
he was not afraid, although he threatened
the spectators that for his death the country
would roll in blood.

With the greatly increased power thus
