The War department has decided in view of the expense of transporting the artillery battery from Washington Territory—which battery is the only military organization now in existence that participated in the slege—not to order it east. | i THE MASONIC FEATURE. | The Grand Lodge of Virginia, haying 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 _ be present. The grand lodge of Virginia and its subordinate bodies will be present in numbers exceeding 5,000, Invitations have also been sent to the grand commanderies, and through them to the subordinate commanderies, ot the | thirteen original 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. '. 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 act 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 at the arsenal, and will likely be of short duration. The principal feature in it will be the defence. It is under- | stood that the same defence will be interposed | a8 would have been before a civil court, viz.. emotional insanity on the subject of the assas- sination of the President. MASON IS STILL 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 nativity, having been born in 1845, and when he was five years of age his father moved to Ohio, taking his family with him. He has but two brothers. both younger than himself, and neither of whom were in the army, but are now residents of northern Mis- souri. HIS ARMY RECORD. At the age of sixteen he enlisted in company D, 78th Ohio volunteers, under the neme of B. Mason, his real name, (his present ohn A., having been assumed when he ‘din the regular army in 1866 at Fred- ericksburg, Va.) His company was commanded Capt. I. C. Robinson and iment by Gen. M. D. Leggett. (late Commissioner of Patents.) He received a fearful wound in the left shoulder May 13th, 1863, at Raymond, the ball “passing in at the ‘armpit and through the joint, (destroying the socket.) aring off a part of his left ear. It is, in ise that he is able to per- a matter of surp military dut: -¢ arm hanging by the museles only. Mr. Jonathan G. Bigelow is THE COUNSEL FOR MASON, and to him has been attributed the remark that he would sw ut the warrant against on. y n from some words Mr. Bigelow aman above the ed man in intelligent ber, industrious, average en- good moral charac- and cool under all ter, | circumstances, many regard him as being of un- sound mind as tothe assassination. HIS RESOLVE TO KILL GUITEAU. On the 18th of June last he left this city for Texas, (Fort McCavitt), toattend as a witness bef acourt martial. He says that on the 2d July, while he was on his y home, the con- ductor ef the train announced that the Presi- dent had been assassinated at Washington by a man with an unpronounceable name. The an- nouncement created an excitement. While some gave vent to their feelings of hor- | ror he secretly resolved to kill the assassin if he ever had the opportunity. Arriving here he | found his company on guard duty at the White Hous He never abandoned this resolye; it | was continually uppermost in his mind, | and when his pany was detailed | for guard duty at the jail, the repulsive sight of Guiteau from day to day only inflamed his passion, and he became more fixed in his determination to kill him. He deferred the attempt to kill him until he was paid off, so as to enable him to pay a few small bills and send money to his family. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR MASON. If Mason should live there is but little doubt ut 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 I Office department to-day a petition was prepared and numerously signed, asking that Mason should be promoted, as he has shown the daring; coolness, courage and other qualifica- tions which are requisite to make a good officer, and has shown by his act that he abhors the em- ployment of the American soldiers in guarding such a miscreant. ee U. 8. Marine Hospital Service. LL REPORT OF THE SUPERVISING RAL—THE WORK OF THE MEDICAL OFF! INCREASING—PILOTS AND COLOR BLINDNESS. The annual report o1 the Tvising Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1881, has just been ivered to the printer. The work done by the medieal officers is shown to be steadily in- creasing, and a larger number of sailors receive the benetits of the service year by year. During the year just closed 610 sailors received relief | at the different hospitals and dispensaries, and | 17 incurables received transportation to their jown homes. An increase in the number of | patients is shown oyer last year ot 7,750. In addition to the relief furnished, 305 seamen of the revenue marine service have been examined minary to shipment; 4384 pilot have n examined for color-blindness, (of whom 116 were found color-blind,) and 57 seamen were physically examined” for the light- house and merchant marine services. Concerning the physical examination of sea as preliminary to shipment, the report | the “blood money” is the obstacle to its thor- | ough enforcement, and that is likely to continue as long as the advance wages system is permit- ted to exist. No objection is now made to the examinations for col blindness, the pilots themselves being generally convinced of its utility. The recommendation made last year for the establishment of hospitals at New York, Baltimore, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Cairo, Vicksburg, Norfolk, Galveston, Savannah and Port Townsend is again renewed. Attention is again invited to the propriety of establishing a national Snug Harbor. 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 convicted and sentenced to imprisonment during the year for fraudu- lently obtaining hospital permits and subsequent treatment for persons not seamen. The total receipts for the year were $351,000 and the ex- penses $402,000. ae ee The Punishment of Guiteau. JERSEY LAW WOULD REACH HIM. e Editor of THe Evenine Star: With reference to the question as to whether iteau 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 (Rev. Stat. of N. J., 1877) would warrant his indictment and conviction in the state of New Jersey should death occur there. The statute refe to was passed since the de- elsion quoted by you in the 3d Dutcher Reports. The gection is as follows: “Sec. 78. Whereany person shall befeloniously stricken or poisoned upon the sea, or at ani place out of the jurisdiction of this stale, and shail 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 poisoning upon the sea or at any place out, of the jurisdiction of this state in either of said cases an indict- 2 laid with Masonic ceremonies conducted by M.

THE PRESIDENT BETTER TO-DAY. HE SITS UP IN A CHAIR DISASTERS IN LAKE MICHIGAN, t DEATH OF GEN. BURNSIDE. TRAGEDIES IN TEXAS. The President Doing Well. HE IS T@ SIT UP AN HOUR OR TWO EVERY DAY IN HIS INVALID GHAIR. Special Dispatches to Tux EVENING 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. At10 o'clock the doctors decided to give the patient a change. A day or two ago an inyalid 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 fluc— 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.] \@ TROUBLE—THE U! STILL APPARENT—AN ON DR. BLISS—A STAR ROUTE H, Sept. 13, 12 m.—The fact that the President’s respiration is again at twenty | gives the doctors no little concern, despite the assertion 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 is filled with pllegm, which gives him some trouble to get his breath, and thus increases the rapidity of breathing. He does notsay the Pres- ident has an abscess on his lungs, but he is afraid one is liable to develop. 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. Bliss. For this reason Hamil- ton and Agnew turned the matter over to the Attorney General. A STAR ROUTE CONPERENCE. Col. Wm. A. Cook and A. M. Gibson came down last night to have aeconference with the Attorney General on star route business. Cook says the government will beveady with its case when the grand jury meets, ‘anti that the legal papers on behalf of the goveramenthave allbeen drawn up. [Third Dispateh.] DR. BOYNTON’S CHEERFUL YIEWS—THE PRESI- DENT “NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET,” HOW- DISTINGUISHED CALLERS AT THE CoT- TAGE. Loxe Brancu, N. J., Sept. 13, 12:10 p. m.— Dr. Boynton takes decidedly a more cheerfal view of the President’s condition to-day. To Tue Srar representative he said at half-past twelve o'clock, ‘I recognize that the President is still a dangerously sick man. Still he seems to get over the new complications as they arise. He is NOT OUT OF THR 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 lung 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 h the doctors. Jno. P. Foley,who was injured yesterday while playing lawn tennis, is sitting up to-day. The hotels here haye de- cided to keep open until October Ist. By Associated Press. The Morning Bulletin.

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 desiroug to be moved from his bed into his invalid chair, and feeling strong 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, ok Po: » enjoying the change very THE SITUATION aT NOON. ~ Lona Branau,N.

Lone Brancu, Sept. 18, 2:15p. m.—The Presi- dent’s condition continues « No ill effects were realized from placed in his: vise:—He says the President's throat | 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 bas high temperature noted in the morning bul- in. 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 tays: “The existence of trouble in that organ | has been Known by the surgeons for several weeks past and the crisiscame on Sunday, which day he virtually lost by not making any gain. Since then, however, he has improved.” a Death of Gen. Burnside. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE RHODE ISLAND SENATOR AT HIS RESIDENCE AT BRISTOL. Provence, 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 fortwo 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 Littlefield, 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 his nineteenth year, and graduated in 1847; served in the Mexican and Indian wars, and resigned in 1852 to manufacture a breech-loading rife of his own invention; removed to Illinois when ap- pointed treasurer of the Illinois 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 njith 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.] ——— ¢ Boller Explosion. ¥ IN JERSEY CITY THIS: 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 fataily injuring three others. The tug W. BE. Gladwish was in the dock for pairs. The engineer of the dock, George Eve- son, has been called away and had left his son. Walter, a; 24, in charge. 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 pi James Tammany, ( pt house of the veasel. who was walking the deck, was also killed by the same piece, his skull being crashed.

Barber and Phelps, inquired of the district attorney his intentions concerning the indictmentsagainst his clients. District Attorney Herrick replied that his time had been so much engrossed with the Sessions case that he had been obliged to give those indictments no attention.

All his efforts in that direction had proved futile, and he asked if the counsel for Mr. Ses- sions would consent to have the trial go on with the reading of Mr. Sharpe’s testimony already taken.

Mr. Riggs’ Will. WHY IT RAS NOT BEEN FILED FOR PROBATE. 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 it due to the absence of Mr. Alexander Elliott, who is the executor. It is not known how much the deceased ieft to his heirs. That will only be de- termined after careful investigation. His erty included vast amounts of real estate in thi wy in St. Louis and other cities in the west. It ts estimated that the interest of the deceased in the banking of Riggs & Co., of this city, constituted about one-third of his estate. Since he died two new members have been admitted to the firm.—Mr. T. Lawrence Riggs, his youngest son, and Mr. Alexander Elliott, for many years connected with the New York house, The business of the bank will be conducted as here- tofore, under the same firm name in Washing- ton and New York. ‘The will will be probated &s soon as the executor arrives in this city and completes arrangements for that legal require- ment. There is no truth in the report that the deceased left no will or that it had been lost. = District Goverament Affurs. Dr. Gottfr. Conradi, from Christiania.
