As an echo of the assassination of
President Garfield, FIRST citizen, Z"
"aged resident" and the old en-
ployes in the United States marshal's
Office are now busily engaged in an
argument as to the Identity of the
man who led Charles Guiteau, the
assassin, to the gallows twenty-five
years ago. The discussion arose
from a statement that q man named
Hanning, who recently died in Chi
cago, performed that grewsome
Office. But local historians assert,
and seemingly with truth. that it
was Denton Duss, who also died re-
Gently, who read the death warrant
to Guiteau and accompanied him on
his march to the gallows. Mr.. Duss
was at the time deputy warden of
the Jail under General Crocker. It
is asserted by others that Capt.
Joseph Tall, who had personal
charge of Guiteau during the trial,
accompanied him on his last march,
the truth probably being that both
Russ and Tall oficiated.

ton OF the city in the vicinity Of
Florida Blanca street.
Some persons are Of the opinion
that the franchise for the Florida
Blanca wharf privileges expires al
the termination Of 25 years. In this
they are mistaken. The ordinance
granting the original franchise, was
passed April 25, 1881, and approved
the next day. Sections and read
as follows:
" Section 4. Be it further ordained,
that the said George E. Wentworth,
and his associates, heirs and assigns,
shall, in consideration Of the erection
Of said wharf, have exclusively the
privileges set forth in this ordinance
for the term Of twenty-five years, he
or they paying therefor TO the City
OF Pensacola the yearly sum Of ten
dollars.
Section 5. Be it further ordain-
ed, that at the expiration of said
twenty-fvei years, the City of Pensa-
cola shall have the privilege Of pur-
chasing said wharf at such valuation
as may be determined upon by three
Cd arbitrators; one to be appointed
by the city, one by George E Went
worth, his associates, heirs and as
signs, and the third to be chosen by
the two thus appointed
by the sections 1t will be seen that
If myself and associate should ask for
an exclusive privilege such permis-
sion must be secured from the coun-
Gil, and we will be compelled to pay
such sum as the body might fix, pro-
vided it is not out of all proportion.
Il will be seen that the exclusive
privilege may terminate in 25 years,
but not the wharf. privilege proper.
IF the city should desire to pur-
chase the wharf privilege, the munich
pality will be compelled to pay what
ever sum may be fixed by the three
aI'bitrators.
