 Justice IN THE COURT IN BANG. New Evidence Claimed by Ills
 Counsel. THE TIME OF THE EXECUTION. The Authorities Already Besieged For Tickets.
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Convicted Gufteau-An Visitors to
 Be Denied Him-The Claims Made By
 His Counsel-A Rush for Passes to the
 Execution.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Visitors or report CTS have not been allowed to see Guiteau to- day. The prisoner still continues downcast and seems to place his only hope in the court iao 6anc. Counsel for Guiteau to-day claim to have discovered new evidence which they claim will ensure reopening of the case.
 All rumors that any of the jurors were tempered with are emphatically denied by the foreman, the marshals and people at the National Hotel. Scoville, however, says he will file afidavits tomorrow showing that one of the jurors read paper while in du- rance and will make that the basis for a new trial. No one saw Guiteau to-day but his brother, and he says he remains hopeful.
 Guiteau occupies the same cell as before his conviction, but will be more closely con- fined and have fewer liberties His appetite remains as keen as ever, and the warden says he will give him enough to eat in order to keep him in good physical condition for the execution. Now that the jury have declared him 8 criminal and an impostor every effort will be made to retire him from public at- tention. The policy will be to deny him to reporters and curiosity seekers and to pre- vent him from issuing manifestoes to the country. Persons interested in the case agree in the propriety of such a course. General Crocker thinks the execution will take place in July, but possibly it can be hastened suffi- ciently to bring the end in May. The scaf- fold is already standing. The last man exe- cuted upon it was Stone, the wife murderer. The seaffold stands inside the jail, and the execution will take place in what is known as the rotunda. Applications are already pour ing in for tickets to the last scenes

A Fatal Result of Carelessuess

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-This afternoon while number of children were playing around bonfire in vacant lot up town terrific ex- plosion took place in their midst, throwing them all to the ground. A number of work men ran to the spot, where they found seven boys and girls badly burned and injured.

UneasIness Among Insurance Men.
 NEW YORK, Jan.. 27.-The underwriters of fire insurance are somewhat anxious over the coming report of the State superintendent of the business done by the fire companies dur ing the past year and their financial condition at the close of the year. The business trans acted during 1881 was heavy enough, so far as writing out policies, but the premiums on most of them were so low that many com- panies were simply doing business at loss. The average expenses with English compan- ies was about 32 per cent, American com- panies about 40 per cent. It is stated that at least half dozen companies would retire from the insurance field very soon as the business does not pay.
