A curious feature o( tho mortality statintin
at thin year in the largo number ol
kaki frum what are known aa zymotic or
fithilinnucs-that '?> ilinooncs engendered
k; impure food or by inhaling vitiated
aunonplierca. Tho last quarterly report
qI the health otliror hero in Wheeling
ihoaa that out of a total ol 212
ikillu fur lliu quarter ending September
30th, from all cauncs, 100 camo unJtr
the hrail o( zymotic dineane. Thus,
utile tho whole annual death rate was
J8.5) to the 1,000 population, the deaths
from zymotic causes constituted over onebill
of thin ratio.
Out ol lliw i 100 deaths from thU cause,
M, or considerably over one-half, were
from diarrheal aihncnta?a very heavy
per cent. And there were in addition, 17
Jmilis from typhoid (over, 20 from whooping
couth uud H from diphtheria.
I The mortality report for October shows
that out of a total of seventy deaths for the
month, forty-three were from tymntle dintun,
nnd of these twenty wore from diphtheria,
fourteen typhoid fevor and five diutlnt.ll.
Thus October was even moro
remarkable than the previous quarter for
the number of dcatlia from this class of dintuei.
The ratio in Wheeling would neem to
live been peculiarly and extraordinarily
high this season, an compared with several
ol the leading cities of the country. We
lure not seen any reports that come down

heart and I'll 11 Thompson.
Nkw Yoiik, November 17.?Charles II.
Reymond, owner of the great Kentucky
bred three-year-old I'hil Thompson, called
upon the editor of tho Turf, Field and
Farm in relation to the race with tho California
bred Sweetheart, proposed by C. S.
Stokes. Mr. Keymond said: "I have faith
in Phil Thompson; I believe in him, but it
is a little too early to talk about making a
match for next year. I want to see how my
colt passes through tho winter before I
make any importunt engagement for liim.
To put up now a forfeit of $5,000 would bo
equivalent to betting that amount of money.
I am not a betting man and do not euro to
gamble on this point In April or May I
will accommodato Mackay with u mutch,
provided mv colt Is in good health at that
time. 1 will trot a race at Chicago in July
or August, and will not object to other
colts, less thun four years old, coming
in at $5,000 or $10,000 each. Tho estimate
of Stokes for expenses is entirely
too high. I will allow him $1,000
for bringiiig Sweetheart from California.
The race, I presume, will draw, but I do
not wish to give anv one an opportunity
to say that tuo main thing in view is the
division of the gate receipts. Tho owner
of Sweetheart is a very wealthy man and
gate money cannot be much of an object to
him. My' proposition is that the winner
shall take the guto money. Had nothing
been said about tho matching this winter
I should have challenged iu April or Muy
tho four year olds of California and tho
world to battle, provided Phil Thompsou
kept right. Stokes simply anticipated me.
llv waiting until spring to put up the forfeit
it mukes it moro certain that the colts
will come together."
The editor of the Turf, Field and Farm
says wo can see no reason why Governor
Stanford should dcclino to put Fred
Crocker in the race with Phil Thompson
and Sweetheart. The trotting content be*
tween four year olds for a stake of $iW,000
and the gate money will attract the attention
of the country, and tho winner will
reward his owner with a small fortune. .

basis of representation In the sessions of
the federation were discussed at length.
Tho Committee on a I'lnn of Organization
presented a report suggesting one delegate
to every fivo thousand members.
This met with considerable opposition,
some of the delegates contending that the
local trades unions should lmve a representation
in tho congress if they have a
membership of twenty-flvc.
Tho matter was then referred back to the
committee, who will report again to-morrow.
The Committee on Declarations nnd
Principles then presented a platform, a

Tfa? TmUbobj of SerrtUry BUIua-A
StBMlloaal Story Kxplodtd.
Washington, November 17.?By half- 1
pust 9 o'clock the criminal court room was (
well tilled. There was a noticeable increase ,
in tho number of ladies present. Each day I
appears to increase public interest in the '
trial. The doors were thrown open to the ^
public a few miuutcs before 11 o'clock. (
This was the signal for a general stampede. <
Colored men and half-grown boys deliber- 1
utely threw themselves over tho bucks of ]
the rear line of scats in order to procure j
a point from which they could view the t
prisoner. Mrs. Scoville entered the court (
room at 10 o'clock, accompanied by her j
little daughter about 5 years of age. A [
story was published in a morning paper '
purporting to give tho details of the*arrest 1
of an accomplice of Guiteau at Keusing- J
ton, Ohio, yestefday, and stating that tele- 1
graphic correspondence hud occurred on '
tho subject between the authorities of
that plucu and District Attorney Corkhill. ?
The latter officer denies that ho has hud
any such correspondence, ami gays hu
knows nothing of tho story, ami it hu did,
ho tfhouldti't fuel at liberty to talk about it
for publication.
Immediately after eourt opened counsel
Scovillo arose to make a personal explanation,
in which ho said there had been 110
disagreement between himself and Mr.
Itobinson, as would appear from certain y
publications, and in conclusion said Mr. (
Itobinsion would render all aid itossiblo in (
the case, and that they would work in harmony.
At this point Ouiteau rose and objected
to Koblnson taking a part in his defenco.
He said ho would manage life own cose.
He would not trust Itobinson with anything,
as ho had no brains. Ho wished the
Court to understand him on this point, and
if counsel were forced upon him hu would
mako a noise about it to tho country. He
represented deity ill this case and wishud
tho Court to understand it. Continuing,
ho said, two or three blunderbuss lawyers
would lose tho caso for him, and he didn't
propose to submit to anything of tho kind. 1
The Court informed tho prisoner that if '
ho didn't remain quiet he would be removed
from tho room.
After a few minutes tho prisoner burst
out afresh, with tho remark: "There is
not a word of truth in tho Chicago disratch
published in tho J'ont this morning,
t's a ho from beginning to end." This is
tho dispntch referred to above, regarding
tho arrest of a supposed accomplico of
Ouiteau.
For sotno time after tho last remark tho
prisoner conversed in a very excited manner
with his counsel and advisor, at intervals
using his clenched fists upon tho desk
beforohim in an exceedingly demonstrative
manner.
At 10:30 o'clock Secretary Blaine, accompanied
by Assistant Secretary Walker
Blaine ami Chief Clerk Brown, entered
the court room, and wero ushered to seats
immediately in the rear of tho counsel for
tho government.
A few minutes later tho following open*
ing statement was read by United Suites
District Attorney Corkhill:
May it please tho Cpurt and gentlemen
of the jury. Tho prisoner at tho bar stands
beforo you charged with tho murder of
James A. Garfield. Under any circumstances
there rests a gravo and responsible
obligation upon every man called upon in
the discharge of his duty under tho law to
render a decision upon which depends the
the lifo of a follow creature, and wiilo it is
true that tho offence charged in the present
enso is not greater in legal gravity, and
the conscqticnce to the prisoner than if, by
his act, lie had tuken tho life of the humblest
citixcn of tho Republic, still, it in
idle to overlook the fact that the eminent K
I nlniMnln* uilinan lifn who Inban l>tu lilnli I V
oilicial position and standing, and the
effects of tlio commission of tho 1
crime, render tho ease ono of un- r
usual and unparalleled importance. It c
is tho second time in our history 8
that a citizen chosen by tho people of tho 0
United States to discharge the high and re- 0
sponsible duties-of the President has fallen 1
a victim to tho lawless assassin, but in tho 11
former caso we were just emerging froin the 0
shadows of a long and bloody war, the 0
country had been racked by commotions 0
and stirred by civil feuds throughout the v
length andbreadthof theland;nearly every a
household mourned tho loss of relatives or
friends slain on hotly contested battle "
Holds of tho liepublic; it was a danger
thoughtful men had anticipated; it was a r
calamity that patriots had feared, and when 0
it camo with all its dread consequence* it ^
was accepted as one of tho results of a then 8
disordered and discordant condition of n
public affairs. But we had passed from tho 11
arena of war, the sword had been beaten 8
into a plough-sharo and tho spear into a (
pruning hook, tho country was united, n
peace reigned at home and abroad, n
thcro were no local dissensioiiB. v
thero were no intenso strifes, and the seeu
time and harvest had come and gone. The v
battle fields redeemed from tho scars and ,
havoc of their bloody contests were blowomlug
with fruits of peaceful labor. Suddenly }'
a startling fact is proclaimed throughout 11
tho land and arouniLthe world, that tlio ?
President of the United States had fallen '!
a victim to tho assassin's bullet in the Cap- { '
Ital of the Nation. Murder under any cir- "
cumstanocs and upon all occasions Is shock- 0
Ing. Tho life of which wo know'so llttlo r
and which wo hold by so fragile a tenure, c
is dear to us all, and when it is brought to P
a cloio not in tho usual order and courso of J
nature, but prematurely and by violence. ?
no matter what may bo tho condition of "
tlio person, tho human mind is appalled K
with terror. When a man holding a poai- v
tion of eminence and power falls a cause* P
less victim to the murderer's stfoke, we real- Jj
ize still inoro fully the awfulness of the deed 11
which produces tlio result
During tlio tlmo occupied by tho District '
Attorney in delivering his argument the n
prisoner assumed an air of apparent indif- "
infntii'n nnil rlnvntcd hiinanlf lo tho tnnrii. "I
Ing papers, scanning them hurriedly. Tlio J!
argument wui delivered by Col. Cork hill 11
In a very effective mnnncr, lent* filling the *
eye* ol many In tlio andlence, but tlio R

time he Interrupted the Plslrlct Atlornev.
which action was called to the attention ol
the Court by Judge Porter, ol the counsel g

Judge Co* announced that It was within v
the power o( tho Court to try the case In
the alisenee ol tho prisoner, and II lie per- ?
slsted In Ills turbulent remarks he would |,
ranso him to bo removed.
(tulteau, In response, said: "I will not
do It again, Your Honor, but I have very ,
deep leellngs In this ease." [Ijuighler.l
Mrs. Hcovlllc, sister ol (liiltcan, crleil
i bitterly during the delivery ol tho nryti- |
ment, and her little child could be seen api
pealing In an affectionate manner with i
I ''Mnina! Manunma! what Is the matter." i
At the conclusion ol Col. CorkhlU'a argu- 1
- ment there wti long and continued ap- i
i plana?. j
U Secretary Blaine wm then called to (lie ]
stand by the counsel for the Government
and testified that he hud known Jumes A.
Garfield from 1803 to the time of his death.
He said thut on reaching the depot on the
morning of the assassination the President
turned to say good-bye, but he insisted
upon accompanying him to the cure. He
heard a pistol whot, followed almost immediately
by another, and thinking there was
wine trouble, touched the President for the
purpose of hurrying him ouward. At tills
moment the President threw up his arms,
exclaiming: "My God, what is this?"
The Secretary continuing, detailed the
circumstances of the removal of the Preailent
to the White House, and other mat>
:crs pertaining to the shooting, all of which
iave been published heretofore.
In response to Col. Corkhill, the Secretaary
testified that Guiteau visited the Department
many times seeking the ConsulJeneralship
at Paris, lie informed Guieau
that there were no prospects of his
eceiving the up|>ointment, ana requested
dm to discontinue his visits; didn't see
lie assassin when he fired the fatal ahot)
aw the body of President Garfield after hit)
leath, in Irancklyn Cottage, at Elberon,
V. J.; didn't nee the body after it was
irought to Washington. A number of
utters from the files of tho State Dejwrtnent
were then identified by Secretary
ilaine as having been received from tho
irisoner, after which they were read by the
district Attorney.
Secretary Blaine was eross-oxamined
,ud testified us to the locality of the shoot'
?g on a minting or diagram of the Bultiuore
^ Potomac depot, the Bj>ot on which
he shooting occurred. He said ho had
convert numerous lottors from the prisonr
persistently urging to bo assigned to
peak in the Mnine campaign. The letters
i'ero doubtless destroyed .with other cammit'll
debris, Regarding Guiteau's visits
the Department, tho Secretary said ho
ma one of perhaps forty applicants in the
lays ho cauie, and that he suffered tho
time disappointment of tho rest in his enleavers
to obtain an appointment. Ho at
10 time noticed anything which would inlieato
any derangement of Guiteau's
nind.
Scovillo. in questioning Iilaino, referred
0 tho dilliculty which arose in the llepuhIcan
party in New York after the appointment
of Collector Robertson, and requested
liat the Secretary explain the situation as
t existed in New York. Secretary Hlaino
nswercd questions on'the subject of tho
esignatiou of Senators Conkling and
Mutt and tho controversy in tho New York
legislature, and upon being further
uestioued suggested that ho would mako
political speech for tho defense if it was
esired. Scovillo explained his reason
}r putting tho question. Ho desired to
how the feeling of bitterness in political
ircles, with a view to.proving the bearing
1 had upon tho prisoner's mind. In rely
to further questions tho Secretary statu
that after the assassination of the Present
ho paid littlo or no attention to the
onflict in the Now York legislature, and,
11 fact, thought nothing of politics. Ho
iiid that ho invented tho term "Stalwart"
imsolf in 1875.
After further questioning Secretary
lluine left tho stand at 12:201>. m., and the
ourt took a rccess for half an hour.
Tho prisoner at once began to expostuito
with Scoville. suiting that he desired
im to comply with his (Ouitoau's) wishes
n tho case, and it ho didn't do ho there
r-ould bo a big row. Ho was removed by
lie bail ill's with dilliculty. Ho desired to
ontinuo tho conversation. Scoville paid
o attention to his client.
Upon tho reassombling of the court the
esidont Minister to Venezuela was called
> tho stand and examined. Ho gave a
escription of tho scene at tho depot tho
lorning of tho shooting. Tho prisoner imtressed
liim as wearing a look of fear. In
lis cross-examinatlbn witness explained
iow tho prisoner wore his hat, and Scovillo
Jaced Guiteau's hat upon his (Guiteau's)

litfhat.' Guiteau said: "That is false;
wear my hat this way," placing it on his
lead perfectly straight. He added: "I
. ear my hat thin way, and do not go Bnenktig
around." The Minister was interroated
further, but nothing was elicited beond
what has heretofore been published.
Mrs. Sarah B. White, matron of tho
laltimoro <fc Potomac depot ladies waiting
oom, wiih next called. She explained the
ircumHtancc8 of the assassination in detail,
uliBtantially as published in her statement
btained soon after tho shooting. She rocgnized
Guiteau as the person who lired
lie shot; she had seen the prisoner walking
ip and down the gentlemen's room provius
to the arrival of the Presidential party,
n the morning of July 2d; she did not
bserve a pistol in tho assassin's hand
rhon she went to tho President's assistnee.
Guiteau, she said, was ouly about
liree feet back of tho President when he
ired at him.
Cross exninined-r-Witness saw nothing
emarkablo in tho prisoner's appearance,
xcenting that ho walked to and fro in tho

TUS BEMOCBATICPBOUBA* It
A klrODf Effort Making to 1'oiumlt lb
Vulr lo VrM Trad* Principles.
New York, November 17.?There ar>
several Western Democratic members o
Congress in town, and now on the way ti
Washington, and they are having (requen
consultations with the leaden of that part;
here as to the policy to be pursued in Con
gress at the coming session, especially ot
the tariff. There is a disposition on thi
part of these Western memben to distrust
Mr. Kandall and Mr. Voorhees og thai
question, and this disposition is accom
panied by an expressed desire that as soot
as Congress assembles a collective declara
tion should be issued which will authorita
lively reiterate that protection is not in an)
sense a Democratic principle.
It will be no easy task to bring up to that
point the Democrats who represeut huge
manufacturing constituencies, as in New
Jersey, Western Pennsylvania, Southern
Ohio, Northern Illinois, etc., but the at'
tempt, nevertheless, will be made.
Mr. Watterson, of the Louisville CourierJournal,
when in this city tile other day,
expressed the conviction that "anti-protection,
which' was but another phrase for
anti-monopoly, was the liestcaru the partv
could play in order to win the next tresideucy,"aml
that opinion is finding characteristically
free expression in his paper day
after day. In thelatcst issues of the paper,
after the notification to Mr. Voorhees that
he must not attempt to "compcl Democratic
departure from principles, precedents
and usages," Mr. Walterson goes on say:
"The tariff is a coming, not a going, question.
The issue is onnmii' and Trrueoncllii
bio, and in contending for tho right we
shall ask no quarter, und shall give none.
We will have no disguises. Wo spit upon
compromises. A tarill' for revenue, and
only for revenue, is to the informed revenue
reformer axiomlstic, and expresses tho utI
termost length ho is willing to go in tho direction
of incidental protection. There he
j stands, and there he lights, and ho would
not go uround the corner to elect a Democratic
dog peltcr, still less a Democratic
I President, committed to less. As for
I ourselves wo would not vote for our
nearest friends, for our next of kin, who
should chatter tho balderdash, and propose
the iniquity concealed under that mscally
land fraudulent phrase 'tho protection of
homo industries/ It is a lie out of whole
I cloth. It is the rogue'? device to chcat tho
people. As tho catch cry of un economic
principle it was obsolete long ago. Its
only uho now is to mislead tho careless and
hoo'dwink the ignorant in order that
f oligarch is tB may fatten while honest men
starve."
This will bo interesting reading for tho
gentlemen who aro to sit in Cooper Institute
next week as a National convention in
favor (to quote tho official call) "of such
taritr legislation as will bo protective in
character," and it will be interesting to see
how tlioy are going to deal with it.

tho city was so full of their friends that it
was thought best not to give them an opportunity
to attempt to rcscuo them, so
they were committed to jail for tho night,

by HhcrlirSllleiSnd Capt. Sullivan, ol

the depot and took the train for Conneaut,
their departure not being anticipated by
the public. Before going they were advised
by their counsel that tliey had best wait
for a requisition, as something might turn
up to prevent one being Issued, and Sheriff
Stiles assured them if they went it must be
voluntarily, as he had no power at present
to compel tlictn: but both said they preferred
going to-day.
They admitted In conversation with your

the belief that this would be the

8. G&camv, November 17.?The rccont
reduction la tares and the inauguration of
1* the fast trains from New York to Chicago
have to a curtain extent placed the lines of
Mr. Yunderbilt and that of the l'enn- ,
sylvania Company in lead as it were over
the Baltimore & Ohio.
ti It is now authentically announced, upon
what seems to be good authority, that
ua Mr. Garrett is now contemplating a flank
movement on Mr. Yanderbitt, and will
]e make such a great cut in passenger rates
er that Yunderbilt can not compete with it.
In tbis movement it can be said that Mr.
Uarrett is touching Mr. Yanderbiit In a
tender place, so to speak.
of Mr. Vanderbilt, it is well known, is
r. largely interested in all the I'ullman sleep,
ing cars that are operated on his line of
road, and they alone are great sources of
revenue, and go far to make up what is lost
in the reduction of passenger rates. Mr.
P* Uarrett has not, for some time, allowed (he
of uso of the Pullman sleepers over his lines,
? but bos been operating his own ileeping
a" cars, of which lie is the sole proprietor.
' In order to Bend terror to the Vamlerl'i
hilt interests in the shape of cheap fares
i" Mr. (larrett now contemplates running his '
it' sleepers free of charge for Washington. t
t- llalllmore and New \ork passengers, ana >
> likewise for those coming West. The fare *
from tills city to New York is nuw 112,
I. which uocs not include sleeping car lare. '
n The sleeping-car (are is $1, which makes
JJ the full (are $10. J
it % the free use of Bleeping-can, the fare, f
)r with full privilege*.of sleepers, will bo re- c
10 ducedto$12. c
}f The reduction'and the superiority of the c
n accommodations for the same amount of
9 money must of necessity work a greater C
)} competition than either Mr. Yandcrbilt or c
j. tlie Pennsylvania Company will care to c
e meet. Should the enterprise be carried out, c
? as it seems it will, the rate of free sleepers [
u will bo given to all though passengers i.
0 from every point on the lines of the ?
t| road. The running cost of a sleeping-cur 1
j, is not mora than $100 per mouth, y
j which includes the salary of tho con- u
I, duetors and the cost of launuryingthe linen. ,
0 One conductor can well manage three n
j sleepers, which is about tho number gen- {l
^ erally run by each train, lly thus placing JJ
one conductor in charge of more than one i,
car the expenses will be materially reduced, j.
Such a break by the llalthnoru & Ohio [
,r would seem to cause u decline in the stocks j|
* of tho Pullman Company.
It may bo safe to predict that if this is J
>) carried out the Baltimore <k Ohio will bo- j,
d come tho most popular route between the i
0 East and tho West. There is no road that [j
0 can do a thing like this better than Mr. n
lt Garrett, for he to the only railroad opera"
tor that owns and controls his own sleepers.
When tho enterprise will go into effect a
it has not been decided upon, but it is sup- J
posed it will bo done now sooit. &

a severe wound in the body of the fallen

be more serious than was at first supposed.
Jasper died Monday evening from the ?

' that in loading Casey's gun, either accidentally
or intentionally, small bird-shot fl
