New York, Sept. 19-In accordance
with the dispatch received from the Cabi-

Judges of the Supreme Court The first
to put in an appearance was Judge John

course.
Especial to The Republican,
New York, Sept. 20-12:3O a. m.-The
first news of the Presidents death was
announced at the theaters, the managers
announcing briefly the sad event, and
dropping the curtain upon the closing
scenes of the performances at the va
rOus theaters. The news was received
here without special excitement on the
street, though at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and other places OF resort of prominent
politicians, stock operators, etc, there was
much comment as to the incidents of the
late Presidents illness and the possible
change of the policy and personnel of the
incoming Administration. Such comment
was expressive strongly of sympathy with
the late President and confidence in Pres
ident Arthur. 1t is authoritatively as
serted that President Arthur will leave
New York early this morning for Wash
ington, and will reach the National CAPT
tai during the day, where he will take the
oath of office as President. A train over
the Pennsylvania road has been at his
disposal for several days past, in antci-
patton Of the death of Gen. Garfield. The
announcement has not been received here
as yet regarding funeral arrangements.
At 1870 o'clock it is reported that Gen.
Arthur will join the Cabinet of the late
President at Long Branch at once.

STEWARD CRUMP's STORY.
The Dead President-An Interesting In
cident of His Life.

cident of His Life.
Steward Crump was found late this
morning, sitting in the hall at the foot Of
the east stairway of the White House,
and surrounded by nearly all of the at
taches of the White House who are now
in the city. He had heard the awful news
of the Presidents death through The Re
publican extra, which he had heard the
boys crying On the streets, just as he was
going to bed. At 2 o'clock a. m. he had
received no dispatches from Mr.. Brown
OF Col. Rockwell, but expected to do so
at every minute, and intended remaining
be put in complete order for the reception
of the President in a couple of hours,
should the remains be brought here. The
East Room is yet in complete order, and
only a portion Of the rooms downstairs
have been cleared out. Mr.. Crump was
much distressed at the sad news, and said
that he had had NIL the time the strongest
faith that Gen. Garfield would get well.
He said, HE was always so cheerful and
tOnish me with his jokes, even while he
was suffering horribly. Suffer? l should
say he did. The first week or 10 days
it was his feet. He kept saying. oh. my
Cod my feet feel as though there were
millions Of needles being run through
them / used to squeeze his feet and
toes in both my hands. as hard as l pos
sibiy could. and that seemed the only re-
lie he could get.
The day he was shot and on Sunday
he Kept talking all the time but Monday
he let up some, and then Tuesday morn
ing the doctors shut down on his talking.
Sunday morning, just after the big crowd
had cleared away, l was alone with the
General and DIR. Bliss. The Doctor sat
on one side of the bed and l on the other.
Gen. Garfield had hold of DR.. Bliss
hand, and turned his head and asked me
If / knew where he first saw Bliss. l
told him I didn't, and he then said he
would tell me- He said that when he was
youngster, and started for the college
at Hiram. he had just $15-a $40 bill in
an old leather pocketbook, which was in
the breast-pocket Of his coat, and the
other, 50, was in his trousers pocket. He
said he was footing it up the road, and
as the day was hot, he took off his coat
and carried it on his arm, taking good
care to feel every moment or two for the
pocketbook, for the hard-earned SIS was
to pay his entrance at the college. After
awhile he got to thinking over what col.
| lege life would be like, and forgot all
about the pocketbook for some time, and
when he went to look for it, it was gone
He went back mournfully along the
| road, hunting on both sides for the pocket.
| book After awhile he came to a house
| where young man was leaning over a
gate, and who asked him as he came up
what he was hunting for. Garfield ex'
planned his loss, and described the prop
erty, when the young man handed it over
The President by this time was laughing
and concluded, That young man was
