There has been some delay in probating the will of the late G.W. Riggs of this city. The will was made in 1867 and leaves all of his prop: erty to his children, it being equally divided among them. The delay in probating the will IC due to the absence of Mr. Alexander Biliott, who is the executor. It is not known how much the left to his heirs, That will only be de- termined after careful investization. His prop- erty included vast amounts of reai estate in this city, in St. Louis and other cities in the west.

The Grand Lodge of Virginia, having incharge the arrangements for the Masonic ceremonies, have issued invitations to the Grand Masters of allthe states and territories to be present. There was no limitation as to the time for ac- cepting the invitations, and consequently some | have not been heard fre-\. Only two or three, however, have declined, and the indications are that the majority of them — will present. The grand lodge of Virginia and its subordinate bodies will be present in numbers exceeding 5,000, Invitations have also been sent tothe grand commanderies, and through | them to the subordinate commanderies, of the | thirteen orizinal states and the District of Co- lumbia. The Masonic attendance is expected to be between 5,000 and 10,000.

GUITEAU’S ASSAILANT TO BE TRIED BY A MILI- TARY COURT—THE DEFENCE OF INSANITY TO BE RAISED—HIS CONFINEMENT AT THE AR- SENAL. rs In the case of Sergeant Mason, who shot at the assassin Guiteau on Sunday evening, there having been no demand from the civil authori- ties, charges have been preferred under the Tules and regulations of the army and forwarded to General Hancock. ‘Conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline” is the charge with specifications as to the uct of shooting. A MILITARY COURT-MARTIAL will probably be appointed in a few days by Gen. | Hancock. ‘There seems to be no disposition on | the part of the authorities at the arsenal to keep him in close confinement, other than to prevent all possibility for his escape. and there is no question but that he will have a fair_and impar- tial trial before the military court. The sessions of the court will be held af the arsenal, and will likely be of short duration. The princrpal feature in it will be the defences It is under- stood that the same defence will be interposed as would have been before a civil court, viz.. emotional insanity on the subject of the assas- sination of the President. MASON IS STILT. CONFINED in the prison at the barracks, and appears quite cheerful, and says he feels better to-day in his mind than yesterday. As has been stated before, Mason is of Virginia nat! having been born in 1845, and when he was ars of age his father ‘moved to Ohio, taking family with him. He has but two brothers. both younger than himself, and neither of whom were in the Sem but are now residents of northern Mis- sourl. HIS ARMY RECORD.

SUBSCRIPTH FOR MASON If Mason should live there is but but that he will soon be the most popular man in the country. There is much sympathy in the departments for him, and subscriptions to em- ploy counsel are being taken in some. In the Post Office department to-day a petition was prepared and numerously signed, asking that Mason should be promoted, as he has shown the daring; coo repulsive sight of little doubt couraze and other qualifica- quisite to make a good officer, n by his act that ployment of the American soldiers in guarding such a miscreant ee U. 8.

It was ascertained that considerable frauds were made in returning the statements of hospital dues to customs officers, and as a result of a special investigation several thousand dollars have been added to the fund. Two persons have been conyicted and sentenced to imprisonment during the year for fraudu- tly obtaining hospital permits and subsequent treatment for persons not seamen.

To the Editor of THE EVENING Stan: With reference to the question as to whether suiteau could be convicted of murder in the first degree should the President die out of the District of Columbia, while I concur with the views expressed in your article in last evening's Star, that he could not be convicted in this Dis- trict, still section 78 of criminal procedure of New Jersey (Rey. Stat. of N. J., 1877) would warrant his indictment and conviction in the state of New Jersey should death occur there. The statute referred to was passed since the de- cision quoted by you. in the 3d Dutcher Reports. The eection is as follows: ec. 78. Whereany person shall befeloniously stricken or poisoned upon the sea, or at any place out of the jurisdiction of this state, and shall die of the same stroke or poisoning with- in the jurisdiction of this state; or where any person shall be feloniously stricken or poisoned within the jurisdiction of this state, and shall die of such stroke or poleoning upon the sea or at any place out, of the jurisdiction companies of | in of this state in either of said cases an indict- ment thereof found ps furore of the county within the jurisdiction this state in whicl such death, stroke or poisoning shall hay pen respectively as aforesaid, whether it shall be found beforé any coroner upon view fore the other of such dead body, or Justices of the or Justices ores and | or commissioners who shall have authorit to ithington, aire of murders, shallbe as good and eff in tbe low, os well against the a principal or prin- cipals in any such murder 25 against the boes or Telegrams to The Star.

HE IS T@ SIT UP AN HOUR OR TWO EVERY DAY IN HIS INVALID CHAIR. Special Dispatches to Tu EvgNING Star. Lone Brancu, N.J., Sept. 13, 11 a. m— Although the morning bulletin did not make a good showing on its face, still the President is doing well. At 10 o'clock the doctors decided to give the patient a change. A day or two ago an invalid or reclining chair was received from Washington. The President was lifted from his bed to this chair this morning, and remained in itan hour. During the morning his pulse fiuc- tuated wildly, but it soon settled down to the figures of the morning bulletin. The position occupied by the President while in the chair was arecumbent one. He said “This is delightful; it is such a change.” Hereafter each day he will spend an hour or so in the chair. An ex- amination will be made to-night to ascertain if the change of position has changed the position | of the ball. Secretary Lincoln left for Rye Beach this morning. This leaves Attorney General Mac- Veagh the only member of the Cabinet here. [Second Dispatch.] N@ TROUBLE—THE UNi E ED | DR. BLISS—A STAR ROUTE SINESS OF TH ON Lone Braxcn, Sept. 18, 12 m.—The fact that the President’s respiration is again at twenty | gives the doctors no little concern, despite the rtion that the trouble with the lung will yield to treatment. Dr. Bliss will not say what the treatment is. It is explained by Dr. Boyn- ton in this wise:—He says the President’s throat is filled with phlegm, which gives him some trouble to get his breath, and thus increases the rapidity of breathing. He does not say the Pres- ident has an abscess on his lungs, but he is afraid one is liable to deyelop. A MORE CHEERY FEELING. The feeling about Elberon to-day is more cheery than yesterday. Gen. Swaim, who staid in the sick room all last night, said the pat ient hada good night. Dr. Hamilton, at noon, tolda brace of newspaper men that the President was progressing slowly, still he was progressing. Attorney General MacVeagh will hereafter send the Lowell telegram. Secretary Blaine left are- quest for either Drs. Agnew or Hamilton to take care of it. This was construed by some to bea reflection on Dr. Biss. For this reason Hamil- ton and Agnew turned the matter over to the Attorney General. A STAR ROUTE CONFERENCE. Col. Wm. A. Cook and A. M. Gibson came down last night to have a opnference with the Attorney General on star route business. Cook says the government will be ready with its case when the grand jury meets, antl that the legal papers on behalf of the goverament have all been drawn up. [Third Dispateh.] CHEERFUL YIEWS—THE PRESI- OT OUT OF THE WOODS YET,” HOW- EVER—DISTINGUISHED CALLERS AT THE COT- ,N.J., Sept. 13, 12:10 p. m.— Dr. Boynton takes decidedly a more cheerful view of the President's condition to-day. To Tue Star representative he said at half-past twelve o'clock, “I recognize that the President is still a dangerousty sick man. Still he seems to get over the new complications as they arise. He is NOT OUT OF THE woops yet. Ido not think there is any immediate dan- ger from the lungs, but it will take some days yet to get at the extent of the Ing trouble. I | am inclined to think, in view of the dangers that the President has overcome, that he will get well. Still he is liable to have a set back.” THE WEATHER here to-day is delightful, with an invigorating ocean breeze prevailing. Mrs, Grant called at the Elberon hotel to-day and sent her card to Mrs. Garfield. Gen. Grant called last night and had a chat with the doctors. Jno. P. Foley,who was injured yesterday while playing lawn tennis, is sitting up to-day. The hotels here have de- cided to keep open until October ist. By Associated Press. The Morning Bulletin. THE PRESIDENT’S CONDITIONY PRONOUNCED EN- COURAGINGY Sept. 13, 8:30 a.m.—At the e President at 8 a.m. to-day the temperature was 99.4, the pulse 100, respira~ tion 20. He passed a comfortable night, sleep- ing most of the time, and on the whole his con- dition this morning’ is encouragit and gives promise of a good d eee ay. [Signed by Drs. Bliss and Hamilton.] The President Out of Bed. HE IS MOVED INTO AN INVALID CHAIR AND ENJOYS THE CHANGE. ELBERON, N.J.,Sept. 13.—At 11 a.m, the Presi- dent sent for the surgeons, and Drs. Hamilton, Bliss and Boynton hurried over, creating some alarm by their rapid movements. The surgeons were in the cottage but about fifteen minutes later, when they emerged. Dr. Hamilton said ; to the agent of the Associated Press that the President being very desirous to be moved from id chair, and feeling strong E.psroy, N.. examination of his bed into his invali enough to stand the change, had sent for the } doctors to have it made. They deemed it safe and lifted him into the chair, where he now sits in a reclining position, enjoying the change very much, - THE SITUATION AT NOON. ~ Loyo Branan, N.

The attendants express renewed hope, and at this hour favorable. baa arate egies gs The President Convinced that he is Growing Stro mger. Eberoy, N. J., Sept. 18, 12:30 p. m.—The President was allowed to remain in the invalid chair 85 minutes and wag lifted back to his bed at 11:50a.m. There were no illeffects from the change of position.

J., Sept. 18,105 p. m.—At the examination, made a few minutes ago, the President's pulse was 100; temperature 98.8, respiration 20. All admit hes doing well. HI8 CONDITION CO; PAVORABLE. Lone Brancu, Sent. 18 pe dent’s condition continues from. view of the oceanSand elevated to an angle of about 45 degrees. He was removed to his bed at his own request, not because he was tired, but because he considered it best not to overdo the matter. Dr.Bliss says he will take him up awhile every day if his favorable conditions continue. The febrile rise was scarcely perceptible last night, and what little there was continued until the morning dressing occurred, which accounts for se high temperature noted in the morning bul- etin. Dr. Bliss still maintains that the President is convalescent, and that there are no indications of blood poisoning. He holds that the lung complication is gradually passing away and does not apprehend any further trouble from it. He says: ‘*The existence of trouble in that organ has been known by the surgeons for several | weeks and the crisiscame on Sunday, which day he virtually lost by not making gain. Since then, however, he has improved.” saliatidd Al ai Death of Gen. Burnside, SUDDEN DEATH OF THE RHODE ISLAND SENATOR AT HIS RESIDENCE AT BRISTOL. Provipence, R.I., Sept. 13.—Gen. A. E. Burn- side died suddenly at 11 o'clock this morning at his residence in Bristol. He had been siightly unwell for two or three days, but was in this city last evening. The immediate cause of his death was spasms of the heart. A telephone message from the general's house summoned Senator Anthony and Dr. Miller, but before the telephone connection was broken a message came that the general was dead. Governor Littleficld, Senator Anthony, Representatives Chace and Aldrich, and other personal friends immediately started for Bristol. [Ambrose E. Burnside was born at Liberty Ind., May 23, 1824; entered West Point in nineteenth year, and graduated in 1847; served in the Mexican and Indian wars, and resigned in 1852 to manufacture a breech-loading rifle of his own invention; removed to Illinois when ap- pointed treasurer of the Ilinois Central railroad | in 1858; entered the union army in April, 1861, | as colonel of the first Rhode Island volunteer | infantry; commanded a brigade at the first battle | of Bull Run; was promoted brigadier and major general; commanded successively the expedition to North Carolina in 1862, the left wing of the | union army at Antietam, the army of the Po- tomac, and the ninth army corps, resigning in April, 1865; was elected ‘governor of Rhode | Island in 1866, 67 and ‘68; visited Europe in | 1870, and was admitted within the German and | French lines in and around Paris, acting as a | medium of communication between the hostile | nations in the interests of conciliation; was elected to the U.S. Senate as a republican, to | succeed, Wm. Sprague, independent, and took | his seat March 4, 1875. He was re-elected last | year.] | | A Destructive Boiler Explosion. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY JERSEY CITY THIS MORNIN Jersey Crry, N.J., Sept. 13.—A destructive | boiler explosion occurred at 7 o'clock this morn- | ing at Bulman & Brown’s dry dock, foot of Essex street, resulting in the immediate death of two men ‘and fatally injuring three others. The tug W. E. Gladwish was in the dock for re- pairs. ‘The engineer of the dock. George Eve- son, has been called away and had left his son, Walter, azed 24, in charge. He had omitted to put water in the boiler. Capt. Decker of the tug was standing at the rail on the side of his tug and was instantly killed by a piece of the boiler, which completely severed the head | from the body, and entirely destroyed the house of the vessel. James Tammany, az who was walking the deck. was also killed the same piece, his skull being crushed.

OF THE LINES—a RE- TO-DAY. . chief of police, and H.R. Miles, superintendent of the fire alarm te to whom had been referred the subject of 1 an estimate of the cost for concentrating the telephone and telegraph service of the District, with a central office in the building known as police headquarters, at 414 street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, submitted a report to-day to | District Commissioners. They state: “ We find by consulting with Superintendent Wilson, that it is desirable to embrace in the telephone cir- cuit sixteen public sel to wit: The Jeffer- son, Chamberlain, Wal , Lincoln, Sumner, Seaton, Randall, Franklin, Curtis, Lovejoy, Bowen, Cook, Peabody, Henry, Force, and Riggs. Tliese several schools can be con- nected by placing th upon four circuits. The total cost of erecting the lines for use of the public schools, including poles, wire insulation and labor is estimated at 711. To connect the engineer's office at the property yard, between 6th and 7th and M and N streets southwest, about one anda half miles of wire and three new poles would be required. The property gd at G street wharf northwest, and the pub- lic pound.should be treated together in estimat- ing, but should each be placed upon separate wires. For the purpose of getting various cir- cuits from headquarters to the fire alarm and police poles at 5th and D streets northwest, and to connect the Police and Criminal Courts and the attorney's office, three substantial poles should be erected on 41g street, between C street and the City Hall—the cost would be about 80, making a total cost for wire insulation, poles and labor of €1,2742° A contingency of $226 is also recommended, mak- ing the sum total of $1,500 for the erection of about twenty-six miles of wire. The Washing- ton Asylum should be included, but as the Dis- trict already own a linc of wire aud poles to thet institution, which would fully answer the pur- 10 estimate is required for this. In mak- ing a complete telephone exchange for the offices of the District of Columbia the police wire should be so enlarged and changed so that each section should be a separate circuit, this would involve an expense of, $500, which add > above might = be estimate for the erection circuits, The total cost of establishing a complete official exchange, embracing all the routes named in the report: also the fire alarm and police tele- ne service would be £3,000, leaving only the os instruments to be poles needed in lines could be utilized for the purposes to good adi
