The rain storm on the evening of the 7th was, during the first part of it, one of great violence. The wind biew only less than a tornado. An- cient trees were here and there uprooted. Mr. Hummer’s barn, with his horses standing in it, was moved partly from its foundation, and fruit trees were broken down here and there about the ne borkood. TRe lightning was frightfully vivid and the thunder almost as terrifically loud as it is in storms on the plains of the once ‘an Desert.” The house of John Parker, a colored inan, was struck, and Albert Bowman and Parker were stunned. Bowman did not s. One of Parker's children was shocked. Parker after partially recovering went into an adjoining room and received another quite se- vere shock. The house of Peter Gillam (colored also), across the road, was struck and the top of the chimney down to the roof was completely demolished. .

Nothing like a conversa- nis allowed him. His principal talking is in siving directions to Mr. Crump about the ar- raugements of his bed and other details of the sick room. MESSAGES AND RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY have been received from Yung Wing, the Chi- nese minister, now in Avon, Conn.; the Old Guard, of Dayton, Ohio; the governor of Oregon; and Minister White, at Berlin. The democratic convention of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, and the Buffalo board of trade have adopted expressions of sympathy. The executive committee, representing the various branches of the Irish national land league in the District, and the Knights of St. Matthew, at meetings held yesterday, adopted resolutions expressing their sympathy with the President and his family. White House Notes To-day. There was nothing of special interest at the White House to-day, except the news from the sick room. Everything was very quiet, and the callers were even fewer than during the last few days. The members of the cabinet came in during the forenoon, and staid a short time. Col. Rockwell and Gen. Swaim were at the White House nearly all day. The Mexican and Prussian ministers called in the morning. THE JAPANESE MINISTER paid his daily call. He wished to have conyeyed to Mr. Brown his congratulations on the very favorable news of the day. He said he would leave to-day for the seashore with his family. He had intended to leave some days ago, but waited until he thought the President’s condl- tion would justify his departure. Hethen drove off in the nattiest single team inthe city. The whole house is turned into a warehouse for COOLT'G MACHINES. There are any number of them on hand and boxes continually arrive with more of them. There is one, the Chase, in full operation in the ante-room. It is inclosed within four walls of fine flannel. The space ‘inside is about twelve feet square. The machine {sin one corner. It works on the principle of ‘ing the air down through a box containing ice. The air eomes out very cold and very dry. It lowers the tem- perature in the immediate vicinity of the appa- Tatus to about sixty degrees. The cold air goes down, of course, and the change in the temper- ature in going inside the enclosed space is first noticeable on the feet. tbody who comes with a cooling apparatus is allowed admission to the house and to experiment in the business portion of the house. BUSINESS. Mr. Brown was not in his office during the earlier part of the forenoon, but came in about 12 o'clock. The clerks have about finished up all. the business left on hand before the at- tempted assassination. They now have only to transact such business as is connected with event. There is a good deal of it on hand, nobody Is idle. A number of the messages received are being answered. the more im avenue were Wm. fiuckley, Hines & Cudmore, Thos. Joyce, P. Malo and — Lynch.

Dr. Silenthal, president of the Rabbiannical | Association, telegraphs froia Chicago as follows | to Mrs. Garfield: ‘The Rabbiannical Association of the United States now assembled resolyed:— | The attempt on the life of the President of our A | beloved country, which has filled with dismay th i whole civilized world and elicited the dee] t sympatiiy of rulers and peoples for him and . has touched our heart to the core. | We give our prayers with those of the great hu- |inan brotherhood to our Heavenly Father that | He may speedily grant our beloved chief magis- | trate a speedy and full recovery; and knowing that out of # | mercy and love vho cemented anew with ti | stronger than ever the bands that unite the | le of this country into’ one harmonious . May he and his family take consolation inthe thought that posterity will chérish the President's name as one of the great martyrs who gave his blood for the great cause of liberty and humanity. . Newspaper Jottings About Guiteau, THE ASSASSIN’S RELIGIOUS BELIEF. At the request of a Catholic clergyman Col. Corkhill asked Guiteau if he was. Catholic or had any-sympathy with the Catholic faith. Gui- teau replied: “No, sir, Iam not a Catholic or a Jesuit. I have no sympathy with either. I am in accord with the Evangelical churches of the country and heartily in sympathy with the Y. Herald. religion of the New Testament.’ A MEMBER OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH. Chas. J. Guiteau joined Plymouth Ciurch in 1867, and his name is No. 2,422 upon the rolls of the church. He remained in the church until 1869, when his connection was discontinued. It is understood that he took a letter with him when he went away, and it is thought that it was the one upon which he was admitted to the Calvary Baptist church in this city, of which the Rey. Mr. MacArthur is pastor. Some of the at- tendants of Plymouth church recalled him to mind when they saw his picture, and say that he was in the habit of speaking at Friday evening meetings. His talk was rational, and nothing is remembered about it that pointed to insanity. Guiteau was admitted to the church by letter. N.Y. Sun. WUAT GUITEAU’S DIVORCED WIFE SAYS ABOUT HIM, more, the divorced wife of Charles J. Guiteau. She was married to Dunsmore at Boulder, Col., | in 1878, and is now residing in that city: She showed the decree of divorce granted in 1874, on the ground of adultery, allowing her alimony and prohibiting Guiteau from marrying until her death. She says he was very cruel to her from the time of the marriage; that when he Was a member of Henry Ward Beecher’s church he would lead in prayer, and as soon as the meeting was dismissed would tell her of some of his swindling schemes; that when given a note to collect for a client he would turn over only one-half of the collection and report it was impossible tocollect the remainder. Her friends urged her to get a divorce, which she did. She was afterwards a clerk -in the Treasury depart- ment at Washington. He: never paid any alimony. Last February she received a note from him re- questing permission to remarry. She answered saying her permission would granted on his paying $100. He wrote again saying he had no money, but was about to marry a wealthy lady and would pay the Money as soon as lie was married. To this she paid no attention.

GUITEAU'S LIFE IN JAIL—HIS CELL. | The orders at the jail are of such a character that it is impossible for any outsider to have an | interview with the prisoner, and thus far none have been had. The guards and attendants | have all been cautioned and the prisoner has | been kept from any intercourse with the outside | world. Not even the loeation of his cell is | known to any one outside the jail walls. Gui- | teau has fallen heir to-a number of pictures left on the wall by the former occupant of the cell. Between pictures of hington and Mrs. Wash- | ington stands out boldly one of Puck's pictures | of President Garfield. Below are portraits of | President Garfield and his Cabinet, and a picture from Puck called “English Lords and | American Loons.” The jail fare—or low diet as @ correspon called it—seems not to have agreed with Guiteau, and he suffered some last igestion. Dr. Noble Young, the physician of the jail, gave him a little medicine and he said yesterday that he was in better health than he had been for years. The result interview with a party Who should know something about HOW GUITEAU TALKS is given below: Q.—“I see that you have had another inter- | view?” (The prisoner had been closetted with | | the questioner in Gen. Crocker's private oflice f ii » This is the fifth time | the original? A. if Yes; he has are:narkably fine memory. Why has referred to circumstances happening 4 | ago, not only giving date and year, but day of | the week and place.” He has not been tripped or | | deviated in one single instance. His story hangs | toxetier throughout, and he alone is responsi- | ble as far as I can see. Q.—Well, you have got down to his motive by | this time? “A.—Of courve I have, but you are | | questioning too closely, and so I will havé to de- | cline to answer. : GIUTEAU PHILOSOPHICAL. It was stated that Cuiteau took his position | philosophically, and ste heartily and slept well, perhaps better thap any prisoner injail; that when not reading his Bible or walking the narrow confines of his cell he is idly lying on his couch and that sometimes he seems to feel that | deed has made hin a big man whose rame will | be handed down to millions yet unborn. THE WOMAN IN BLACK. Another interview was had in reference to G: | tean with a party who is ina position to know | how Guitean feels and what he says. “What do you think of the woman in biack?” asked the | reporter of this gentleman. 7 | Answer.—Mrs. Smith? Why Guiteaa emphat- | ically denies that he knows her or anything about ner. But I think that whether the party who called on her was or was not Guiteau, the offi- | cers should sift every word of the statement. It | may not affect this particular case, but may lead | to Something of great importance. | Q.—What do you think of the conspiracy idea? | | A.—It was natural that such should have been | | thonght of at first in view of the political ex- ement—that some infamous wretches or hang. on, for whom the leaders were not responsi. had got the crazed notion into their heads that the party would be benefited. GUITEAU’S EGOTISM. | _Q.—How does Guiteau speak about the act How doves he regard the conspiracy talk | | he was performing one of the greatest acts w! | has ever been noticed in history when he fired | the pistol. His vanity would not allow hi accomplice. to ‘He wants all the glory for | himself, and he thinks it fs glory. He scouts at | the idea of his having an accomplice. | | Q.—What does he say washis motive? A.— | Wiy he repeats that he was Ingpired todo tue | ct. . ).—When did he get that inspiration? A.—a | days after the resignation of Senators ling and Platt he says he was inspired o1 pelled to do the act. | Q.—And this inspiration continued on him | | till he performed the deed? A.—He says it did; | | that the refusal to give him the office had nothi | to do with his act; that it was not the motive | which impelled him to do the act; that he oniy looked to the good of the party. DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT LIVES. Q.—He knows now that the President is not dead? A.—Yes; he has found that out, and seems disappointed that the shot was not fatal. He appears lively enough in exchanging the common salutations with the officers, but it is apparent that he regrets that the President has lived so long. His trouble is the pain which he has caused, for he desired that the shot should have proved fatal. At first he seemed inclined to the opinion that the first shot he fired struck the President in the arm, and the second one was in the back.- He is not now so certain, for he remembers that the first shot was fired hori- zontally and the President raised his arm, slightly turned, and looked scared when he fired the second, and he was then sinking, his legs giving away. GUITEAU’S VIEWS ABOUT THE CABINET. Q.—What are his feelings towards members of the present Cabinet. and who did he want for the new Cabinet had the President died or should die? _A.—Why, in regard to the present Cabinet his feelings were friendly towards Post: master General James, whom he desires to push | on his investigations as to star route and other | | alleged irregularities. He is particularly un-| friendly to Attorney General MacVeagh and does not want him to remain. He is not par- ticular about the Secretarys of the Interior (Kirkwood) and of the Navy (Hunt) remaining | orleaving. The slate which would suit him as | to the others is as follows: Secretary of State, | Roscoe Conkling, of New York; Secretary of the | Treasury, Levi P. Morton, of New York; Secre- | Gee of War, General John A. Logan, of TMinois; Attorney General, Emory Storrs, of Ohio, and Postmaster General, T. L. James, of New York. Q.—What is this about his having been put | out of the President's room at the White House? A.—Yes, he slipped in there on Thursday after- noon when several others were there, and the officials put him out. i Q.—Don't you believe that this was the mo- tive or inspiration? A.—I don’t know. He says | this did not have anything to do with his act; that he was impelled by the original inspiration: i | that he had been to the White House to commit the act before, but there was too much danger of injuring innocent parties. A GENTLEMAN NAMED PEARL. Q.—What do you think of his having had no acquaintances in the city? A.—Well, the fact was, that he had made none. The people who came in contact with him did not like him. The the Guitean gets quite excited when Pearl's name mentioned. LETTERS ADDRESSED TO GUITEAU. here. and been spared all this mischief.
