AT THE SCAFFOlD.
The Last Scene of the Tragedy.

Special Dispatch 10 me hegSteT.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The march to the
scaffold was without incident, and he ascend
ed the steep steps without faltering. On the
scaiIold were Capt. Coleman, Robt. Strong,
Underwood, Jones, Warden Crocker and
DR.. Hicks. For moment the doomed man
looked upon his dread surroundings, when
all heads were uncovered, and DR.. Hicks,
II voCe ChOked with emotion, delivered
an eloquent prayer. During its delivery
Guiteau stood motionless as q statue, and
upon its conclusion DIR. Hicks opened the
Bible, and the prisoner in tones showing
little emotion, read eleven verses from the
10th chapter OF Matthew. This was fol-
lowed by his
Dying Prayer,
which was made from the manuscript pre-
pared oy Guiteau, which reiterateS his
declaration that he is Gods man, and
predicts all manner of evil to the Nation
from his untimely murder.
He then recited what hc called a poem,
but his nerves were again LeCOming shaky,
and at one time he broke down entirely, and
burst into tears but he wen. on in amourn-
ful monotone, tears frequently breaking
through his voice and rendering the scene
indescribably pitful.
At its conclusion Doctor Hicks gave the
now thoroughly broken p soner his last
bcnediction, and left the platform. The
| prisoners legs were then we'll secured, and
the moose carefully adjusted; and as the
black cap was being adjusted Guiteau cried
| out in loudt GLORY, Glory, Glory.
The next instant the trap was sprung and
| the assassin was
Launched Into Eternity.
As the trap fell. some one in the Jail
shouted, and it was taken up by the crowd
outside, who yelled and shouted, and then
made dash for the Jail door, forcing the
guards aside and pouring into the office
GuiteaUs death was comparatively easy
After the drop fell no motion was apparent
for nearly a minute, when there was
slight muscular contraction Of the limbs
After hanging for three minutes the body
was lowered, and an examination by the
physicians disclosed that the heart still
beat, and for full fourteen minutes The
pulse continued to tiutter spasmodically
and it was not until half an hour after tn,
drop fell that the body was lowered into
the coffin.

The DR.. spoke to him and endeavored to
quiet his agitation, but it is evident that
his nerves have given way, and it is doubt
full if he can carry through the programme
he has 50 carefully arranged. However
he soon became calmer, and when the
Death Warrant
was read, he became more composed. AT
1925 the signal for the dread procession to
form was given by the blowing OF steam
whistle, and moment later the iron doors
were thrown open and Guiteau appeared
He was pallid and his face and mouth
twitched nervously, but aside from this he
exhibited no signs of falterinS.

Al the Jail

a strange spectacle is presented. y constant
stream OF curious people, in carriages, on
horseback. and even on foot, are passing
over the tive miles Of road which separates
the prison from the city. and rs the morn
ing hours go by the crowds OF curious
sight-sccrS rapidly increases. At this
writing, 10 o'clock. fully one thousand pco.
pie surround the prison, hot, dusty and
thirsty, but eager to catch glimpse OF
what transpires within. Some enterpri>n.
lemonade pedd!erS have set up their booths,
and are dispening their beverages to the
perspiring multjtudes
About 80 o'clock 4 squad OF policemen
made their appearance and proceeded to
surround the Jail thus keeping the crowd
at n respectful distance, much to their dis.
gust In addition to the heavy guard in
side the prison, Battery {, Second United
States artillery, was brought up this morn
ing and placed inside. guards being sta,

corridors, and around the scatlold.

and besouEht admission. In the carriage
with her were some beautiful flowers, in
Guiding among others, very handsome

which she intends to place upon the coffin.
After a considerable delay, caused it is

Shortly after Mrs. Scoyille'S arrival. DrS.

CUMBERLAND COAL REGION.
Some Interesting Particulars Bearing
on the Strike.

Special 10 the Reg1ster.
FRosrDURG, Mp, June 30.-The condition
OF affairs in this region remains unchang-
ed. The mining villages surrounding this
place present picture of idleuess. Large
groups of men can be seen lolling in the
groves, amusing themselves by discussing
the situation, playing cards, and in various
other ways. The best OF order prevails
everywhere, and men are apparently indif-
ferent as to the result. This usually wide
awake and busy place is now very quiet
and business terribly depressed. One
OF the leading merchants, whose daily
sales when the mines are working
run up into the hundreds, told
me yesterday that he had uot taken in s.
during the day, this will give an idea of the
low state of business and il is general.
II this strike continues one month longer a
number of well-to.dO men will be COM
PEELED to suspend business. At Eckhart
the miners are supplied with every thing
from Cumberland. The new miners there
are reported as doing well by the companies,
and rs evidence of their improvement the
out.pnt OF coal has been gradually increas-
-
having a good deal OF slate in it,
II is, however, only matter
OF time until this difficulty
will be overcome. for nearly all OF the old
miners employed in these mines heretofore
were foreigners and great many were I'M
skilled when they commenced here. But.
even if these men should do as we'll as the
old ones, it will not pay the companies to
keep up this manner OF producing their
coal, besides paying the fifty cents per ton
for the coal, they pay - and s. per day,
according to rank, to an almost equal num-
ber OF men as police. The apparent design
Of the companies was to provoke the men to
the commission of some act OF violence.
when the responsibility of protecting the
men and property would devolve on the
State authorities. but the strikers under
able leaders in the Knights OF Labor, fore
seeing this, have maintained excellent or.
der, and are generally commended for it,
The companies seem firm in the stand they
have taken, and unless there is some un-
known chance to take place, the outlook
for this whole region is very gloomy one.
Those occupying houses belonging TO the
company have received uotice to vaCate by
Saturday, the lst, and il they do not
promptly leave, the process OF eviction
will be commenced. To-day the X. OF h..
hold another secret meeting in their hall i'll
