The Garfield Bills—-Opera House Damaged By Fire. Washington, Dec. 16.—T! timony in the Guiteau case was the most damaging yet produced. The former wife, Mrs. Dunmore, testified that she had never seen any signs of insanity in the prisoner, but the most damaging and convincing testimony was that of Dr. A. McLane Hamil- ton of New York, who is considered one of the best experts on insanity in | the country. His statement, that by measurement he had found the pris- oner’s head to be well fotmed, and} that he considered him a perfectly | sane man, had an evident ettect on | the audience and jury. District At- Corkhill told me to-day that | d not the slightest doubt of a verdict of guilty. He also said he thought the trial would not last more than ‘ten days longer. A dispatch from Pittsburg says a miin there has heen summoned on the Guiteau trial who will testity that while in Wash- ington Guiteau told him he was to he the Paris mission, adding: T will create the greatest excitement here in Washington that has been since 1865.’” The Prosecuting Attorney was a little late in reaching the criminal court this a. m. and Guiteau improv- ed the opportunity to make ONE OF HIS LATE SPEECHES to put in time. | Looking over to the vacant seat he said with a chuck- le, “I understand Gen. Reynolds is sick this morning. I wonder if Corkhill is. I guess they got more than they wanted yesterday. It is time for Corkhill to get sick and stay sick. Geo- D. Barnard, deputy clerk of the supreme court of Kings county, N. J., took the stand to prove the divorce of A. J. Guiteau from the prisoner. Witnesses presented the records of the court and order of the judge for witness, attendance here. SCOVILLE OBJECTED to the admission of the papers upon the ground that they were not certi- fied by the clerk ot the court as re- quired by an act of of Congress. The court overruled the objection and admitted the papers as origt- nals in the case. The papers set forth the granting ot absolute di- yorce, on the ground of adultery, no answer having been made by de- fendant. Guiteau, referring to the woman named with whoni he had comm ted adultery, said: ‘This woman, Jennings, was a high-toned woman in New York. It was purely a mat- ter of business between us. I com- mitted adultery to get rid of the wo- man I did not love. I thought it a | much. MORE MORAL COURSE dren year after year. I have also} been strictly a virtuous man and have always been a Christian man.”’ Scoville desired to note exception to the admission of the evidence. Gunteau whispered, with impatience : “Oh, what’s the use of quibbling over that? I admit my marriage and divorce. I don’t care for that. Ican get married again outside of | New. York State, and for that mat- terin New York, too. Under the new law there if a man hve! i re tes-j jyou have done on this trial | puts his loss at $5,000.

Reynolds led, Guiteau’s | attention back to certain points. | Guiteau said: Thope you will cut off Gen. Reynolds and not waste ; time on him.”’ MRS. GUITEAU. Washington, Dec. 16.—Mrs, Anna J. Dunmore (Guiteau’s di- | vorced wife,) was then called. Sev- | eral ladies arose to leave the court room. Guiteau moved uneasily up- on his seat, and looking angrily to- | ward the audience, cried out: | “There won't be any smut on this examination. The ladies need not goout. They have no business to ut this woman on the st: *Corkhill wants to stir up it’s an outrage on deceney or Cork-* | was packed last night to hear ‘Fun | a great calamity. hill to drag th dy in here and have her character ripped up, as it be.

I made Arthur Pres- i > a right to demand utable awyer Cork- | ot and her state- quest io ns of insanity ir witness, ny sig prisoucr while I lived with him as his wife,’* closed the examination y the prosecution. Guiteau, with a sigh of relief, said | to Mr. Corkhill: ‘*Thank you, Mr. Corkhill, for the sake ot her chil- | dren. This is the most decent thing | I ex- pect, however, that Judge Porter | and Davidge insisted on it and they | are both supposed to be decent | men.’? Then turning impatiently | to Scoville, ‘Now cut this short and let’s have something else.’’ The | cross examination of Mrs. Dunmore was tedious and wholly truitless. As she left the stand Guiteau shouted after her: ‘*I have not seen this lady | for eight years. So far as I know she is a high-toned christian lady, | and I have nothing against her. “I | wish her well in whatever station she may be.’’ THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT commission held its annual meeting to-day at the White House. All members were pres including | President Arthur. It was decided to ask Congress for an appropriation ot $200,000 to continue completing the monument. THE GARFIELD BILLS. The money to pay the expenses of | Mr. Garfield’s iliness will be dispos- ed of as follows: Drs. Bliss, gnew and Hamilton will receive two-thirds of it, giving them about | $27,000 each. The four nurses will | receive $2,500 each. Dr. Lamb/ will get $1,000 for the autopsy. Dr. | Reyburn, who was Bliss’ assistant, will also recieve a snug sum for his services. The doctors make no oie | jection to the bill in congress, but | they will be glad to take whatever | congress will give. CABINET CHANGES, | The president will probably nominate the post-master general be- fore the holiday adjournment, so the new incumbent may enter upon his | duties January 1. Rumor still as- | signs Filley to the place, though there are some who say Filley has | been passed over, and that another | man will get it. Indications, how- ever. point to Filley. Hunt will be | succeeded before long, and will pro- hably get the place on the court of claims vacated by Bancroft Davis. The president told a senator who was urging a man for appomtment | on the court of claims to-day that the position was promised, and he ; could not consider any name for it. It is believed he has promised the place to Hunt. Longstreet will pro- | bably succeed Hunt. Grand Opera House Burned. | Columbus, Dec. 16.—A_ fire was discovered in the Grand Opera House at three o’clock this morning. | It was not controlled until daylight. It ignited from the furnace beneath the entrance door on the first floor, burning the office and soon spread- ing to the amphitheatre. The build- ing was gutted and the only thing saved was the stage drop curtain, being all that was not burned. E. T. Mithoff, the owner, suffers a loss of 15,000. Insured.
