A young white man named Jno. Moore was charged yesterday afternoon in the Police Court with the larceny of a five-dollar bill from Wa.ter W. Burdette, by a trick in confusing the clerk when giving him change. Mr. Alexander H. Young, cashier im Mr. Burdette’s store, No. 923 two spools of thread, and gaye a $10 bill in pay- ment, and witness gave him a $5 bill and #4. in change. retaining 10 cents for the thread. Moore walked across the room and appeared to be counting his change. He then returned to the witness and said that he had discovered that he had a dime to pay for the thread, aud he would like to get a $5 bill for the 25 inchange. Witness readily consented to do this, and counted the change over again and handed him the $5 bill. When witness was putting the £5 in change into the drawer, Moore handed the 5 bill back, and said if it were all the same he would just as soon have a $10 Dill, which witness gave him, making $14.90 that Moore then had. After he went out of the store, the witness saw the trick and going out had Moore arrested. Mrs. Mary Ender, who Keeps a store a tew doors from Mr. Burdette, stated that Moore came into her store and tried to play the same trick on her, but she dectected it. She also said that he played it on a dozen persons on the same street. He took the stand in his own behalf and stated that when he was arrested he was on his way back to rectify the mistake. Lieut. Greer produced over $70 that he had in his possession when he was arrested, much of it being in small change, showing that there was no necessity for him to change the 810 * The court said that this was the sharpest piece of trickery he ever saw in the way of stealing, and order him to restore € id the fine and the to Mr. Burdette.

There was no commotion whatever last night, and with the exception of a few newspaper men | who called during the early part of the night, no | Persons approached the walls of the jail. There were, however, some small crowds of colored people on the commons in the early part of the | night whose actions indicated that had there | been any leadership or organization they would | not hesitate to have attacked the building.

The military guard is sti!l at the |Jail, and, with the jail guard, are preparéd \for’ any ‘emergency, ‘and it might as well be | understood that no attack can be made on the | jail without bloodshed, If Guiteau is to meet his death at the hands of the populace, there is no likelihood whatever that it will be a the fall.

The result of the autopsy was made public last night at 11 o'clock. It was as follows: By previous arrangement a post mortem examina- tion of the body of President Garfield was made this evening in the presence and with the as- sistance of Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes, Woodward, Reyburn, Andrew Smith) of EL beron, and Actmg ‘Assistant Surgeon D. 8. Lamb, of the Army Medical Museum, Washing- ton. The operation was performed by It was found that the ball, after fracturing the right Lith rib, had passed through the spinal | column, in front of the spinal canal, fractur- ing the body of the first lumbar vertebra, driving a number of the small fragments of bone intothe adjacent soft parts, and lodging below the pan- creas, about 2!4 inches to the left of the spine, behind the peritoneum, where it had become completely encysted. The immediate cause of death was secondary hemorrhage from one of the mesenteric arteries adjoming the track of the bail, the blood rupturing the peritoneum, and nearly a pint escaping into the abdominal cavity. This hemorrhage is believed to have been the cause of the severe pain in the lower portion of the chest. complained of just before death. An abscess cavity, six inches by four inches in dimensions, was found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and the transverse colon, which were strongly adherent. It did not involye the substance of liver, and no communication was formed be- tween it and the wound. A long suppurating channel extended from the external wound be- tween the loin muscles and the right kidney almost to the right in. This channel, now known to be due to the burrowing of pus from the wound, was supposed during life to have been the track of the ball. On an examination of the organ of the chest, evidences of severe bronchitis were found on both sides of the broncho-pneumonia of the lower portions of the right lung, and, though to a much less extent, of the left. The lungs contained no al and the heart no clots. The liver was enlarged and fatty, but free of abscesses. Nor were any found in any other organ except the left kidney, which con- tained near its surface a small al about one-third of an inch in diameter. In reviewin; the history of the case in connection with the autopsy it is quite evident that the different sup- purating surfaces, and specially the fractured spongy tissue of the vertebra, furnish asufficient explanation of the septic condition which ex- isted.

THE OFFICERS AND MEN OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF THE DEATH. Secretary Hunt telegraphed last evening as follows to’ Admiral Nichols: “The officers and men ofthe navy and of the Marine Corps of the | United States are hereby notified that President | Garfield died on the 19th instant at 10:40 p. m. Under the constitution and laws of this govern- ment Chester A. Arthur, then Vice-President, | duly took the oath of President of the United States. and has entered upon the duties of that | office. As President and Commander-in-Chief | of the Navy of the United States he willbe |obeyed and ~ respected by all persons concerned with this department. It is becoming that a time when the heart of the nation is heavy with grief a proper ex- | peeeion should be given to the respect and af- | fection so sincerely and universally entertained | for the memory of the wise, patrictic, and noble Chief Magistrate who hasdeparted this life under circumstances so distressing. To this end the officers of the navy wiil see that all honor and ceremonies befitting this occasion are observed by their respective commands in accordance with the regulations of the service. The offices of the department will remain closed for all business during the term that the remains of the President shall lie in state at the Capitol.” Admiral Nicholas last evening issued the fol- lowing: The officers of the navy and marine corps residing in Washington will assem le, in full dress uniform, at the Navy department, on Wednesday, the 2ist instant, at half-past 2 p.m., for the purpose of proceeding to the Baltimore & Potomac depot to receive and escort the re— mains of the late President Garfield to the Capi- The Departments to be Closed. Chief Clerk Crosby, of the War department, last evening received the following telegram: Lone Brancu, Sept. 20, 5 p.m.—It has been agreed here: by all the heads of departments that the departments shall remain closed from this time until the conclusion of President Gar- field’s funeral ceremonies in Washington, and it is understood that you will notify the acting heads of all departments of this arrangement. Of course the department is being draped. Rosert T. LINcoun, Secretary of War. Upon receipt of this telegram Mr. Crosby at once sent a copy to the acting heads of the sev- eral departments. The Government Printing Office will be closed until after the funeral, as stated. Definite action as to the length of time the office shall close will be taken by Mr. Defrees. Senators and Representatives Invited Here. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright, of the Senate, sent off yesterday to about fifty Senators, all those residing within such a distance as would enable them to reach this city in time, a dispatch as follows: “The remains of the late President will be brought here to-morrow and lie in state in the rotunda of the Capitol until Friday, when the funeral cortege will depart for Cleveland. You are requested to attend and accom- pany the remains to their last resting place.” Col. Bright thinks that at least forty Senators will be present. Senator Anthony will eprobably arrive to-morrow. A member of the Edmunds family telegraphed last night from Burlington, Vt., that Mr. Edmunds was on the road to Washington. Senator Joseph R. Hawley telezraphed from Hartford that he would be in this clityto-morrow afternoon or evening. Senator Bayard telegraphed that he would be present on Thursday, and Senators Sherman and Sewell send word that they will arrive some time to-day. By authority of Ser- geant-at-Arms Thompson. telegrams to about one hundred accessible members have been sent, couched in about the same language as those from Mr. Bright, and it is expected a majority, atleast, of those who received letters will be present by Thursday. Ex-Speaker Randall on the Situation. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: “Ex- Speaker Randall expresses deep sorrow in view of the death of his personal friend, President Garfield. To a reporter he spoke with great warmth of the President, and recited many in- teresting incidents of their long service together in the House of Representatives. In ans’ to a suggestion as to what would be the policy of the new administration, he said: ‘I suppose there will be a called session of the Senate as soon as it can be convened. It seems to me very desirable, indeed nezessary, that there should be immediate provision made for a Presi- dent pro tem. of the Senate. I see no reason whatever for calling a session of the House, although I am not advised, and can give no opinion or form a judgment even as to the policy of the government in thisemergency. The peo- ple would feel much easier to know that there was an officer ready to assume the presidential office in case Gen. Arthur should be taken away. God forbid that such a calamity should befall the country, but every emergency should be antici- pated.” ‘Who will be likely to be elected Presi- dent pro tem. of the Senate?’ ‘Upon that sub- Ject I cannot express an opinion. I have no doubt but that some able and conservative man will be chosen. I believe also that the policy pursued will be one looking to the good of the whole American people. I should deeply regret any agitation or whatever ig likely to provoke partisan feeling in the disposition of the ques- tions the Presidents death forces upon Con- gress?” The Views of Senator The Wilmington Delaware News this morning publishes an interview with Senator Bayard with 1 to the political situation conse- quent upon the death of the President and the elevation of General Arthur to the presidency. He though comment at present was peculiarly unfitting, but after giving expression to his sorrow, he went on to say that, after all, the country was going under an administration that it had in a it measure prepared itself for; there would be no crisis nor any evil resulting from it. Referring to the question as to the im- mediate resignation of the Cabinet, he said he, of course, took it for granted that the members would at onceresign. Such a course would be proper and according to custom. He said the le would not take in good part any change Inthe administration that would stop in any measure the good work, for instance, iike that against the instigators af the star route frau and that as Arthur ‘was: a dextrous polit i manager he would, of tourse, see this, and put pene present, at least, any change in the inet.
