occurred several weeks ago. and the bones
were removed preparatory to wiring them.
Since that time the barrel containing It's

tentlously in one corner Of tho Army
Medical Museum laboratory, which is
located in tho cellar Of that building.

are employed. About noon today the as.
s'stant ia charge Of the laboratory, desiring
to nsc the barrel for another purpose, called
to his assistance several laborers, and after
knocking the head out Of tho receptacle
proceeded 10 dump its offensive contents
into sewer opening, This action caused
most horrible stencil to rrevade the en-.
tire building and genuine panic to take
place among the clerks, many OF whom
became sick and were forced to
20 into the outer air. The odor
prevailed the remainder of the evening,
and those f.,he employees who remained il
the building were compelled TO wear
handkercllieis over their noses and adapt
other preventive means. Lime and other
disinieesanss were freely used, but to no

the building like u pail, and the watchmen
on duty there tonight still complained OF
it. "Guiteau's bones are looking exceed.

but that is not to say that it Is able 10 stand
alone. Good management makes the most
Of the means, but these must be supplied

Of certain donations and bequests makes a
inud OF about $1,000, not available for cur

Of the work is understood to 10 in contem-

WASHINGTON, November oS.-A scene
occurred in the Criminal Court this morn.
ing which is probably without precedent.
Yesterday tho sureties OF Bgelow the bank
embezzlcr, were directed to have him in
court to-day under penalty Of forfeiture
Of his bond. This morning n carriage
drove up TO the court house, aud three per.
SONS allghied, two Of whom reached into
the carriage and lifting Bigelow out car.
rled him In their arms TO the court room.
where he was placed on u lounge and GOV.
cred with blankets. Ue was aecompanied
by the male members OF his family, attor.
ney and physician. He was quite nale and
weak and appeared to be entirely pros
trated. lie lay OF the lounge With Ills ewes
closed, taking no notice Of what transpired
about him. - ~
There are thirteen indictments against
Bigclow, and it being settled that the
oiiense was Il misdemeanor and not n
felony, the Court decided il would be suili-
cient to inform the defendant Of the nature
Of the charges without compelling him TO
listen TO the reading of each indictment.
The defendant not being able to stand or
sit upright the clerk Of the Court went 10
where he lay, made known to him the
charge on each indictment and received
his plea OF not guilty. Bigelow was then
carried out Of the Court aud replaced in
the carriage whereupon he was confronted
by a detective with warrant on an addi-
| tlonal charge OF the embezleluent of 81 600
! OF the funds Of the National Bank OF the
Republic. Lie was again taken to the Court
room, where he waived II hearing and gave
bail to await the action oi the grand jury.
Once more the sick man was put ia the
carriase, and this time permitted to return
home. His physician thinks the exposure
is likely to cause Bigclow's death, or, ut
least, place his life in great peril,
