July z, lSSi.--President Garfield was
shot, probably fatally about $3.50 o'clock
this morning In the Baltimore & Poto-
mac Railroad Depot as he was about to
depart from the city. The horrible in
telligence spread like wildfire through
the city. AS numerous officials began
galloping up and down PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, vast crowds Of people made
their way to the depot, at Sixth and B
streets.
The President had just alighted from
his carriage TO take the cars for the
North. Several members OF his party
had already taken their seats in the
car. Col. Jameson of the Post once
Department, who was TO have charge of
the transportation of the party, was
standing at the gate leading to the cars.
He heard shot, quickly followed by
another. There was rush to the
ladies room whence the sounds came.
President Garfield was found lying on
the floor. having fallen to the left.
Secretary Blaine came out OF the
room, following man and calling:
ROCKWELL Where Is ROCKWELL" The
man whom Secretary Blaine was fol-
lowing was seized by Officer Kearney
and Mr.. Parks, the depot policeman.
The President was taken upstairs.
DR.. Bliss arrived soon afterward. 1t
was discovered that both shots had
taken effect. One struck the President
In the right arm below the shoulder.
the other went In at the right side OF

but could not be found. DR. Bliss said
1t was dangerous wound. The wound
in the arm does not amount to much,
but is painful.
The shooting occurred when the
President and Secretary Blaine were
walking arm in arm through the ladies'
room. Secretary Blaine was not going
with the President, but had come to the
depot to bid him goou-by.
The assassin was taken to police
headquarters, where he willingly wrote
his name on sheet OF paper. as fol-
lows: Charles Guiteau, attorney at
Law. Chicago, ILL.,"
The latest reports from the Presi-
dents bedside tonight are that he can
not recover. Death Is thought to be
very near.

MERGER is NEAR

placed before the Public Service
Commission.
Meeting of stockholders Of the
traction and light company was held
in Te1re Haute this morning, for
action on the proposal. The proper
ties of this company are considered
the most valuable from an earnings
standpoint in the traction side of
the merger.
Stockholders of the traction and
light company were opposed to the
merger idea when the consolidation
plan first was announced about a
year ago. Securities of this COM
pany had been yielding steady re-
turns and not until holders were
promised 6 per cent, instead of 5
per cent bonds and per cent in the
place of 6 per cent on preferred
stock did they fall in line with the
proposition.
Robert I. Todd, who was president
of the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company and the T. H., I. G. E. at
the time of his death, three weeks
ago, had worked for two years on
the merger plan. The meetings of
approval had been called prior to his
sudden death.

the industrial news from day to day
we cannot help but take an
optimistic view of the future. Cor
poration earnings reports are
generally very good, carloadings are

Industries is stepping up. We wish
we could have the same assurances
that the credit situation is becom-

would be for stock market to COM
pare favorably with those Of other
periods when the economic structure
was satisfactory. But the question
Is, can we expect easier credit? Is
anything being done to remedy the
unsatisfactory conditions now exist

some definite move to do this the
stock market will be subject to adj
verse jolting which will go long
way to destroy, much of the con-
