The Sunday leader favors the removal of tho present tax on bath tubs in the in* tercet of the public health. It might have reinforced its argument by pointing to the fact tlint in tho quarter of London where Peabody's houses for tho poor, including good water facilities, have taken the place of the old tenements, the death rate has fallen from 23.40 to 10.70 per thousand in* habitants. Tho death rate in Wheeling is high enough to call for every encouragement to more healthful modes of living. We have seen no ovidenco whatever that the President of tho United States has tho lightest sympathy with the Star route criminals at Washington, and therefore wo are all the mora puzzled to know what Attorney-Genercl MacVeagh meant (see dispatch from Philadelphia in Saturday's IxflLLin enter) by the following expression in the reported interview between himself and the agent of the Associated Press: "No proposition had ever been clearer to him than that his own usefulness, either ua member of tho Cabinet or as repre* anting the Government in tho Star route ca*eH, was nlwollitely ended by tho death o( President Garfield." The attorney of tho Cleveland, Tuscara* wis Valley A Wheeling railroad company put on record the other day at Massillon, Ohio, a statement to tho effect that the company is practically bankrupt.

ABOUT THE ASSASSIN THE PRELIMINARIES OF THE TRIAI ffkick B?|lia T<mUj?Tk? M.atal CoadlUoa c Ui lakBBf Vlllala?Tht Valai of thaTu. llaaoajr of KxpirU-Dr. tiaddlaf'a OpIaloa-tkoTllle'i Ylawe. Wasiunotus, November 12.?On Moo day morning the trial of Uuiteuu, whicl the counsel ou both Hides expect to see pro longed through several weeks at least, be gins. Judges on the bench and counsel a the bar agree that there need be but littli delay over the selection of a jury, Tin corpus delicti being practically admitted and the connection of the accused with I co seeded, there is nothing but thequestiox of insanity for the jury to settle. It h deemed quite improbable that many of th< panel will have formed an opinion respect ing the sanity of the accused that can nol be shaken by evidence. The preliminar) details having been arranged, tho facts respecting the assassination, tho connection 01 uuueau wmi ii, win uu pressed. rroi> ably no attempt will bo made to disprove any of these facta. Then will begin the longstruggle over the question of insanity. This is of course the vexed question upon tho solution of which the outcome depends: If the accused is adjudged to have fa-en non compos mentii when he assassinated the President, he can not be punished. The Government has suppcenaed a number of expert* who are convinced that Guiteau was and ja insane. No one can say what tho outcome of this conflict will be, but it is believed that the defense has now tho stronger case. Of course tho examination of these witnesses and the arguments on the poiuts of law involved will take uj> a great deal of time. There seems to be little doubt that tho defense will, in addition, raise the question of jurisdiction. It may not be raised perhaps until the chareo to tho jury is to bo delivered. Then Judge Cox will bo asked to instruet tho jury that tho Court having no jurisdiction, tho accused must bo acquitted. If he grants the prayer, then tho jury will acquit. If ho denies tho prayer, then tho defense will present a bill of exceptions, upon which, after the trial, they will take the case on habeas corpus to a higher Court. Incidentally, too, it is understood that they will raiso tho uuestion of malpractice. They propose to mako us stubborn and as vigorous defenso as possible. Tho prosecution will bo as determined and as zealous. The District Attorney and his associates, Judgo Porter of Now \ork, and Walter I). Davldge, of tho District, have been in consultation all day. They will leave no stone unturned to provo (Suiteau responsible for his crime and to secure his conviction and punishment. They will attempt to provo a coupled motive, compounded of a desire for revenge and a desire for notoriety. Speaking of tho nice questions raised by the plea of Insanity, Dr. W. W. Godding, Superintendent of tho Government Hospital for tho Insane, said tho exnert testimony introduced on such occasions is of little value. Counsel for tho prosecution comes to an expert, ascertains that ho believes tho accused was non compos mentis when ho committed tho crime, and has no desiro to subptena him. Counsel for tho defense learns what his views are and subpteuas him. No is pitted against another expert, who believes tho accused to have been sane at the time of tho commission of tho offense. They neutralize one another. Such a question ought to bo referred to a Commission. It is in some States. Tho measure oi responsiumiy uiuora, 01 courae, in overy I'two. Home lunntics are responsible for many, perhaps* most of tholr net#; others ore responsible for few or none. Some of the Inmates of the hospital ore permitted the freedom of the ((rounds unattended upon giving their narolc. Should one of tliein wander ofF it might bo quite dillieul t to say whether or not ho was responsible for breaking Ids parole. Theru ran he no accurate general test. Opinions given on hypothetical eoses carefully prepared by counsel so on to present all tlie facts favorable to Ida sido of tho case are practically worthless; nor does It enable an unbiased expert to pronounce correct judgement to give 1dm accoes to the prlaonor. The question to bo answered In not whether tho accused Is now sane, but whether ho was sane or Insane at tho tlmo of tho commission of the offense. Of course If ho is a chronic maniac thcro is llttlo doubt that ho was at tho tlmo of tho commission of tho offense. Ilut the dllllcult cases, those, too, In which exports are always called In, are always those in which doubt exists as to the present sanity of tho accusal, a doubt will' arise respecting his sanity at tho time he did the unlawful act. It la a very hard question to answer. It cannot bo answered a priori, nor after Inspections of tho man of straw that counsel (or either side sets up, but after being Informed whether insanity la hereditary In tho family of the accused, whether he has lived on cccontrlc, "crnnky" life, whether he was under tho Influence of n powerful delusion or a strong hallucination at the time he committed tho offense; whether ho gavo evidences at the tlmo and Just pro-, ceedlng and just after It of unsound mind, an expert ought to be able to any whether tho accused was responsible or not. If all these questions were answered by proof In the affirmative, I think Ids decision would bo apt to be that tho accuaod was not responsible." KOVIMKTAI.KS. "I do not think it will take much time to get a jury." aald Sir. Sdoviile, (luileau's couniel, to^ay, to a reporter. "Wo can not expect to get jurora who have not formed and expressed an opinion on this cose, and, so far as I am concerned, will not try to get sucn jurors. it otiRitt not 10 take more than two days to get a Jury." "How long do'you think the trial will take?" "At least a month, nnd probably nearer threo month* than one month. There are about 10U witnesses on the Hat made out by tho Platrlct Attorney, and we have summoned seventy-live, l on can tee that It will take some time to get through with them, and t|ttcs!ionsof law will arlao which will have to lie argued by coiiiiael, nnd will all prolong the trial." "is there any chance of Mr. Train coming to help you?" ''There may be aomo chance yet. You see the lint part of next wee'k will lis taken up In getting a Jury, and meanwhile lie may decide to come. By the wi<y, talking of Jurors, t have received letters from different parts of the country fmm persons offering to serve on the jury. Tho write think tliat because tills Is is n United Slates Court they am serve, nnd I received two letter* ttwlay from |ieople in Uiia clly saying that the; will serve Impartially, and that tliev will give references. I received a portal card to dav from a friend of mine in Chicago, ?aylng that he had been around to get sotno men to 'chip In1 to help the do fense, and closing by saying while ho wai willing to help the defense ho hoped tnj client would Iw hung. That's the kind o! it man I would llko to have on tho Jury, lie Is not afraid to do what he thinks li right, and would act Impartially." "Have yoti hoard from Train recently?' "Yea, I received three letters lastn Ight He says in one of Ihem, 'Zlon la with (Jul lean.' They lose n great deal bv being re peated. They must be seen wiili all theii quotation marks." "ltaa tho Government tho right to aeni experts to the Jail to examine Uuiteau." "They oannot examine him unleaa Otil lean choose* to submit himself to them W? have nothing to conceal, howevei We want it known whether he is sane or insane, and, of course, these casual examinations may not amount to anything. Sometimes an insane person appears perfectly sane. I was reading yesterday an annual report written by Dr. Gray, Superif intendent of the Now York State Insane Asylum, a man who, by the way, has been summoned us an expert in this case by the Government. He mentions in his report the fact that thousands of persona visit the institution during a year, and that nearly all are surprised to iind people apparently perfectly sane confined in the AbvIuui." 1 "Have you ever hat] any opinion from r experts as to Guiteau's insanity?" "Oh, yes; 1 have heard from two or three . of them who express the belief tliat he is irresponsible. 1 have prepared, in a conJ doused form, a hyjx t'letioal ease concerna ing Guiteau's case to be submitted to experts. The points in it are about what we ' expect will be brought out at the trial concerning bis family associations, his former 1 life. Ac. These expert witnesses, of course, j will not hear that testimony, and I have ^ made out a statement, which they can have in advance so as to study the cose."

The prisoner betrayed no unusual emotion at the meeting, and after exchanging salutations began tho old story of tho causes which prompted him to commit thu crime, und expressed no regret whatever for his action, but reiterated his previous story about being "inspired by God," etc. Geo. Scoville, Guiteau's counsel, said this evening that his client had insisted thut it should bo his prerogativo to inaku a statement in court to-morrow, and thatGuiteau I nut been engaged for tho past ten days in preparing a document setting forth his views, which lie will probably present as soon as the court opens to-morrow, unless prevented by Judge Cox. Mr. Scovillo said to-night that it was not tho intention of tho counsel for defense to intrude by offering objections in tho selections of tho jury.

FATAL I'KllltV, Seven Live* I.'onI by tho Sinking of a Nkllf-Tliree Other* M Inning. Nkw Yoiik, November 12.?Tho Sun's special from Troy, N. Y., soys: At about 0 this evening a largo skill", owned by Giles Leroy, of I'ort Schuyler, drew up ut Burden's wharf, on this side of the river, to tako residents of West Troy, employed at Bunion's mills, to their homes. Tho night was dark, and owing to a strong south winu inni retrain. rums, ino wiivin were 01 unusual height, and tho rlvor very high. Ah near as can bo learned, tho following persona worn in tho skid' when it left the Troy landing: Giles Leroy, Ilenry, his son, Francis Ileillv, Garrett, his son, Thomas Manion and his son Thomas, John Lever, Thomas Fox. John Stevenson, John Koyes, Milo Hatch, George Hoy, Flamming Trimble, James Dimon, William O'Neill, Michael McMahon, and three others, whoso names could not bo ascertained. When tho boat hft<f almost reached tho middle of the river, Thomas Fox, who was sitting in tho stern, saw three propellors ranidly approaching from tho south. He called to tho oarsmen to ston, but they failed to do ho, and tho propellor nearest to tho west shore passed bv within a fow feet of tho bow of the skill'. Tho latter, which all agree was overloaded, having hor gunwales nearly even with tho watei, passed tho first swell in safety, but on reaching the second shipped considerable water. The third almost filled tho boat, and tho occupants became greatly alarmed, The men, awaro that the boat would sink, called for assistance, and one of tho propellors, tho Cora, turned around, but tho others contihuod on their course. Tho Cora steamed slowly towards tho skifT. but beforoshe coulu reach it the boat had eapsized, and all tho men were struggling in the water. Thomas Fox, being unable to swim, grasped the keel of tho skill', and called to his associates to follow his example. .Several of them did so, and held on until the Corn drew alongside. On board tho Cora were John Kennedy and Charles I'ickett and his brother. The last named, although but fourteen years of age, displayed great bravery and wo'nderful presence of mind. Calling on the men who were hanging on tho capsized skill" to hold fast, ho threw life-preservers right and left to their less fortunato companions, and then bracing himself against the side of the tug, pulled in John I^ever, who weighed about 170 pounds. Tho following men were then nicked up by the Cora: Thomas Fox, John Lever, John Htovenson, Garrett Keilly, Thomas Mnnloti, jr., and two strangers, whose names it was impossible to ascertain, J JJv this time several rowboats hod reach- 1 ed tiio scene, anil Fleming Trimble, Milo * Hatch, Michael McMiihon and Win.

The following are known to bo lost; ' Ollea I-rroy, tho ferryman, nnd bin mm, ' IIenrj-; Francis Rellly, a tcannier, who leaven a wife and eleven children: Thomas ' Marlon, sr., a blacksmith's helper, who t leaves a wlfo and live children; John Keyes, ' laborer, who leaves a largo family; Oeorgo 1 Hoy, a single man, aliout twenty-five years . of age, and .fames Plmnn, married man, 1 with no children. Three others were unaccounted for. Mrs. 1/croy, who has been dangerously 111 for a long lime, nnd Is not exiiectcd to live forty-eight hours, has not been In- \ formed of the loss of her husband nnd son, Mr. Manlon burled a daughter only three 1 weeks ago. , While It is admitted that the skiff was i overloaded, it Is also agreed that the pro- | lielleis had no lights on their Ihiws, nnd i that the tugs, tho Cora nnd Haltio M.lietts, i and the Unda M. Newlln, were racing i when tho accident occurred. I Captain Harvey Hobinson, of the Bctts, and the captain of the Newlln, when i asked why they did npt stop, say that they i did not hear the cries for assistance anil did ] not learn of the accident until an hour after . It occurred.
