There was no doubt at all but that $10,000 could and would be collected. The chair remarked that it would afford him much pleasure to do anything for the cause. It is now the 2ist of September, and the question with him was— have they time? He had grave doubts as to whether they can raise the means necessary. A large majority will not contribute to the ‘cause from a sense of duty, and he had doubts about the possibility of carrying out the program at this late day. Theentertainment of the many guests who pass through this city and remain | here for a brief time must be attended to, so far as seeing all their wants supplied and hotel ac- commodations. Secretary Blaine has an appro- riation of $20,000 for this purpose, which will ave to be applied for that purpose, and can not be expended fi thought the: @shorttime if they all start out with a will.

A special meeting of the board of school trus- tees was held last evening, at the Franklin building, to take action in relation tothe death of the President. The object being stated, Mr. Lovejoy remarked that the event had awakened the sympathy of the people of the country, over which had been cast a gloom. He offered the fol- lowing resolutions: THE RESOLUTIONS. “Called together to give expression to senti- ments of sorrow for an event which has cast a gloom over a whole people, to lament the un- timely death of the chiefexecutive of the nation, to mourn the loss of a warm friend and active | champion of the public schools of the country, the board of school trustees of the District of Columbia in special meeting resolved: F shared in the hope and joined in | the prayers of the American people for the re- storation of the late President J. A. Garfield, to health, to his family, to his great public trust, and h re of usefulness, we now unite with our countrymen in mourning his death. Second, That while others lament the loss of the President, the party leader, the son, the husband, the father and the friend, we, rezard- ing him as identified with the cause of publie n. from the hour of his struggling youth through the progress of laborious manhood in the moment of his supreme success, especially reg the loss to the public schools of the United States of one who was regarded as a champion in the past and the missionary of the future of the American system of free schools. This appreciation of the value of education to the country and government enlisted his sym- pathies and energies as a statesman; the bene- fits and deiizhts of education to the individual his encouragement and enthusiasm as the recollection of his early struggles e him the friend of fortuneless ‘merit, and inspired his efforts to smooth the path which lead from the vale of ignorance and slough of poverty to the “vantage ground” of knowledge. Third.—We recognize that by his death the public school cause and every public school child has lost a friend, willing and able to help, and we feebly attempt to express our apprecia- tion of education and the loss which the cause of education has sustained. We approve the action of the president of the board of trustees in ordering the schools to be closed on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in re- spect to the distinguished dead, and we tender to the aftlicted family of the late President our ani sincere sympathies.” REMARKS BY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. Mr. Lovejoy said that the election of Mr. Garfield gave assurance to those engaged in the cause of education, especially those in the Dis- trict; that there wasone at the head of the nation who was a champion in the cause of pub- lic school education. He was such a champion not only because he was advancing others to the upper plane, but because he recoznized the benefits of education to the nation and the people: that the system not only educated the children, but made citizens, and he looked on every child as the germ of an American citizen. Mr. Fairley remarked that he had occasion to make a synopsis of the speeches of the late President on the subject of education, and that he favored the cause of common school educa- tion, because, first, it promoted national unity; second, it promoted social equality, by bringing the children of the rich and poor together on a common plane, and third, it promoted intelli- gent citizenship. If we studied these points we hats find the position that common school occu- pies. Superintendent Wilson remarked that he had had an acquaintance of many years with James A. Garfield, and ne was one of ‘the most illustri ous products of free schools ina free country. He was just such a man as could be produced under the institutions of a free government. There was no statesman so intimately connected with the cause of education as Garfield, and he well remembered the address made by him which resulted in the establishment of the edu- cational bureau. He was in a large sense a citi- zen and a neighbor, and he took quite as much interest in the schools of the District as any citi- zen, his children attending the schools in the Franklin building. The last time he appeared in public it was on their platform, (at the normal school commencement.) Mr. Matthe the president, said he was glad that the r lutions spoke of the deceased only as a friend of education, for they had nothing to a ith him as a statesman. As a man his beautiful home life was known through the world. We knew him as the friend of popular tion, and in his inaugural, which proved to be his farewell address, he said: “It is the igh privilege and sacred duty of those now to educats their successors, and fit th in n, by intelligence and virtue, for the inheritance which awaits them. In this beneficent work c sections and races should be forgotten and » should be unknown. Let our hew meaning in the divine oracle s that ‘a little child shall lead them; for our little children will soon control the destinies of the Republic.” There could be no hesitancy in passing the resolutions after reading these sentiments. Mr. Smith moved the adoption of the resolu- tions. Carried by a rising vote. On motion of Mr. Brown the resolutions were ordered to be engrossed, signed by the members | of the board, and transmitted to the family of the deceased. — The Assassin's Jail Life, HE IS ON SICK DIET—| APPREE: THE GUARDS DETAILED TO PROTECT iM. It may be stated in explanation ot the allow- ance of teast to Guiteau that although now ap- parently in better health than he has been for some time, he is threatened with an attack of malaria, and several days azo Dr Noble Youns, the physician to the jail, ordered him to be placed K diet. The ordinary fuod for the prison- ers consists of fish, half a loaf of bread, pota: toes and a quart of coffee for breakfast at ght o'clock, and fresh or salt beef, soup, potatoes and corn bread for dinner served at three o'clock. For sick diet, such as Guiteau is now receiving, toast and milk or tea, is al- lowed at both meals. As stated yesterd: objected to his toast. The enard, sp ironically, said: “If you don’t like the way fixed, go out in the kitchen and fix it yourself. You can go there.” Guiteau looked at him a moment. and, thinking that he was in earnest, it is emphatically. Ofcourse, Guiteau would not be allowed to enter the kitchen for a moment, or, indeed, to leave his cell or corridor. AFRAID OF AN ATTACK. Yesterday he was uneasy all day, becoming apprehensive at the least sound that some one Was coming to take him out, and he frequently called for Gen. Crocker to ask what was going on outside, and to ascertain whether or not a crowd was gathering. On the relief coming down yesterday abont eight o'clock, Gniteau fairly trembled. During the afternoon his cell door was opened so that he was at liberty to ex- ercise in the corridor and four or five times he came out, but he evidently was not in a con. dition of mind to exercise, and spent but a few moments at a time in the corridor. While fear- ing some outside parties, he is equally afraid of the soldiers, and indeed he does not like to see one. Asheis at present confined, he cannot see outside of the jail, unless he stands on his bed and this he never does now; even the sight of the marshes of the Eastern Branch having no attraction for him. THE GUARDS in special charge of him are three of the strong- est men of the force, and one of them is some- what over six feet in height. This one seems to be a favorite with Guiteau. Thinking that the stronger the guard ,the more secure he will be, some days since he requested that this one be detailed for his especial protection. Last night he retired about 10 o'clock and slept ordinarily well, being awakened, however, whenever the guards made their rounds. See Tue Cunistiancy Divorce Ca: oon the taking of testimony in the case of nator Christiancy against Lillie M. Chris- tianey was resumed before Examiner Lovejoy at the office of Messrs. Cook and Cole. Mr. Lugen- beel, father of Mrs. Christiancy, took the stand for cros-examination. After a few preliminary questions, Judge Cuppy asked bim if he had not received in 1879 a certain letter from Judge Christiancy. Mr. Lugenbeel answered in the affirmative. Judge Cuppy asked its production. Mr. Lugenbeel went home and failed to find the letter, and the examination was adjourned until Saturday next, at 1 o'clock, to enable him to complete the search. ae CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING His STEPsoON.— Tn the Police Court this morning, a middle-aged white man named Thomas J. Sewell, of No. 1426 10th street, was charged with assaulting Robert Robinson, his stepson, a boy about 15 years old. The boy stated that his stepfather mark witness’ mother The Jurisdiction in Guiteau’s Case. TRE LAWYERS DIFFER. The question of jurisdiction in the case against Guiteau is attracting the attention of the promi- nent lawyers here, and, while many of them are unwilling to give any direct opinion, nearly all of them admit that there is considerable doubt as to whether the conviction of the murderer can best be obtained here or in New Jersey. The law books have been examined over and over again, andthe burden of legal opinion is that not only must the act of shooting be proved. but that, as_n to conviction, the death and the fact that death was caused by the shot must be established plainly. One case is cited of a party who was shot in Alexandria by another person. The man who was shot went to Maryland where he died, and the Supreme Court decided that the accused could only be held on a charge of assault with intent to kill, which was the offence committed in ‘Alexandria. The Supreme Court of tne United States can only take jurisdiction of criminal cases where a difference of opinion between lower courts is certified to. Some of the criminal lawyers of this city maintain that the civil authorities of New Jersey were right in endeavoring to make the fact of the Presi- dent's death a_ matter of legal record. These | lawyers say that in order to conviction the death must be established in court; not by such evidence as satisfies the common mind, j but by the most unequivocal legal evidence. District Attorney Corkhill, who was yesterday very positive that the statutes amply covers Guitean’s crime go that he could be tried and convicted here in Wash- ington, is to-day in doubt about the question. Of course, this matter will be thoroughly inves- tigated, but whether Guiteau can be tried here for the murder he has committed, or will have to be taken to New Jersey, where the President died, is not yet determined. The following are the authorities cited by those who hold that the courts have all the juris- diction required to try Guiteau: Section 731 Revised Statutes says: ‘When any offense against the United States is begun in one Univer circuit and completed in another it shall deemed to have been committed in either, and may be inquired of, tried. determined and punished in either district in the same manner asif the offence had been actually and wholly committed therein.” This relates to United States Circuit Courts, and section 760 Revised Statutes, District of Columbia, provides that the Supreme Court shall possess the same powers and exercise the same jurisdiction as the Circuit Courts of the United States.

Governor Foster's Proclamation. HOW THE FUNERAL DAY WILL BE OBSERVED IN OHIO. Governor Foster, of Ohio, yesterday after- noon issued a proclamation tothe people of the state, saying: “On Monday, September 26, the mortal remains of Ohio’s great son, Gen. James A. Garfield, the late President of the United States. will be laid to rest in his grave. He lived, loved, respected and admired by his ple. He died, mourned over and lamented y allthe world. It isnot too much to say there is not a nation on the earth that does not feel for us in our great affliction and mourn with us over our illustrious dead. To the peoplé of his native state, which was the object of his pride and love and ean devotion upon the field of battle and in the halls of government, I respect- fully suggest. upon the day named all business ursuits be suspended, and that the hours set, ee the last selec rites be generally dedicated in prayer and religious services to the m of the murdered President.’ seat “ A Significant Article. The following extract from Tuesday evening’ New York Commercial, always an “unilinchine “stalwart” or Conkling organ, (and not infre- gens Bee Lin Sey ae its inspiration from ik ur himself,) possesses a signifi which is not to be mistaken: sia “Gen. Garfleld’s administration was that which was indorsed by the great majority of the Amer- iean people. They desire no change; they wish his views and his policies to be carried out, though he is no longer here to direct them in person. Such loving regard and such faith were never shown before. That it is Gen. Arthur’s desire to carry out the wishes of the people we have not the slightest doubt. Ne- where else can Gen.

THE RECEPTION AT THE DEPOT AND PROCESSION To THE CAPITOL. The funeral train, bearing the remains of the late President and the faneral party, arrived at the Baltimore and Potomac depot about half- past four o'clock yesterday afternoon, as stated in the second edition of Toe Star. Animmense crowd of people were assembled there to meet the train, though there was po excitement, and when the casket was being“temoved from the car to the hearse the silence was only broken by the music of the hymn, “ Nearer, my God, to Thee,” played bythe Marine band. When the debarkation was made Mrs. Garfield was es- corted to the carriage by Secretary Blaine and her son Harry. After them slowly came General Swaim and Mrs. Swaim, Colonel Rockwell, Mrs. Rockwell, Miss Mollie Garfield and Miss Lulu Rockwell. Colonel Corbin, Dr. Bliss and Miss Bliss, Dr. Boynton, Dr. Agnew, Dr. Hamilton, Secretary Kirkwood, Postmaster General and Mrs. James, Attorney General. and Mrs. MacVeagh and the two MacVeagh boys, Secretary and Mrs. Hunt, Captain Henry, Secretary and Mrs. Lincoln and their young son, Abe Lincoln. Then came President Arthur, General Grant, Senator Jones and General Beale. When th party had passed through the depot the car- riages were filled in the following order: First, Mrs. Garfield, accompanied by her son Harry, Mrs. Rockwell and Miss Mollie Garfield and Miss Lulu Rockwell. Second carriage, Mrs. MacVeagh and Mrs, Secretary Lincoln; next, Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Fred Grant; next, Gen- eral Grant, Senator Jones, of Nevada, and General Beale. The next carriage contained President Arthur, idee fl Blaine, Chief Jus- tice Waite and Secretary Windom, followed by carriages containing parties in the following order:—Secretaries Hunt, Lincoln and Kirk- wood and Postmaster General James; Attorney General MacVeagh and Private Secretary Brown; Dr. Boynton, Marshal Henry and Warren Young, Gen. Swaim, Col. Corbin and Col. Rockwell. Then followed the hearse drawn by six grey horses. The carriage containing Mrs. Garfield and daughter was driven down Pennsylvania avenue to 41¢ street, and from there it turned up and was driven to the residence of Attorney- General MacVeagh. The funeral escort from the depot to the Capi- tal was formed of the District militia: —Washing- ton Light Infantry, Col. W. G. Moore; Union Veteran Corps, Capt. 8. E. Thomason; National Rifles, Capt. J. 0. P. Burnside; Washington Light Guard, Lieut. F. S. Hodgson; Capital City Guards, Capt. T. S. Kelley; detachment U.S. marines; battalion of U.S. artillery, four footand ht battery from the barracks (Arsenal); Washington, Columbia and other commanderies Knights Templar. At the Capitol. ARRIVAL OF THE PROCESSION—A SOLEMN AND SILENT CEREMONY. At 5:20 the head of the procession reached the east front of the Capitol. There was a throng of thousands of pecple onthe plateau to the east. The porticos of the Senate and House wings were black with people. The hearse stopped. The officers of the House and of the Senate and members of theSupreme Court were there to receive the body. They were: The Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, Bright; John G. Thompson, Sergeant-at-Arms of the House; Representatives Tucker, Virginia; Wilson, West Virginia; Urner, Maryland; Townsend. Ohio; Dezendorf, Virginla; Thomas, Illinois; Shelley, Alabama; Senators Ingalls, Morgan, Pugh, Gar- land, Kellogg, and Davis (West Virginia), Jus- tice Harlan and Justice Matthews, ex-Justice Strong, General Field, Doorkeeper of the House, and Colonel Adams, Clerk of the House. The military marched past the east front, and were formed in line, with faces to the Capitol. The Marine band broke out in harmony, “Nearer My God to Thee,” and continued that dirge until the casket was inside the rotunda. The casket, on the shoulders of eight soldiers, was taken slowly up the steps. Then followed the follow- ing:—President Arthur, Secretary Blaine, Chief Justice Waite, Secretary Windom, Gen. Grant, Secretary Hunt, Secretary Lincoln, Attorney General MacVeagh, Postmaster General James, Secretary Kirkwood, Gen. Swaim, Col. Rock: well, Private Secretary Brown, Col. Corbin, C. 0. Rockwell, W. 8. Young, District Attorney Cork- hill, A. A. Adee, Marshal Henry, W.S. Roose, Com- missioners Morgan and Dent and Major Twining. The party which came down from the rotunda to receive the remains followed after. Facing the coffin on eitlier side were platoons of Co- lumbia Commandery, Knights Templar, who formed the guard of honor. The procession passedinto the rotanda and the casket was placed upon the catafalque. The ceremony over, the soldiers withdrew. The Casket Opened. VIEWING THE REMAINS—A SIGHT TO BE REMEM- BERED FOREVER. The glass at the head of the coffin was then uncovered and the escort took a look at all that was mortal of the late President. Nobody could ever forget that face. It had become blackish. The beard was thin and gray. It could barely be seen where on the right, of the face it had been cut away, so carefully was the body arranged. The eyes were sunken and hollow. Dark circles under them extended down to the cheek bones. The nose was the only feature that was recog- nizable. The dark skin is drawn so tightly over the bones of the face that it would seem as if it would be cut by the pressure. The lips are slightly parted and show the tightly clinched teeth beneath. The people who see the face will remember it forever. Those who had composed the funeral cortege left after looking into the coffin. Under the Dome. THE REMAINS LYING IN STATE—CROWDS OF PEO- PLE STREAMING THROUGH THE ROTUNDA. President Arthur was the first to see the dead after the head of the coffin was uncovered to light. The crowd of people were then allowed to file in line of twos, marched into the east door of the rotunda, passed on either side of the bier and went out by the western door. All night long this march kept up. Sometimes it reached an hundred yards from the foot of the steps and sometimes it ebbed to a straggling few. Seen under the gaslight of the rotunda, the dead looked even worse than by daylight, ‘The dome was illuminated and the globes around the walls were lighted. The light way up in the dome crossed the light from the walls. The one was yellow, the other nearly white. The result was a peculiar light resembling that which comes through the stained windows of chancels. All was perfectly silent. Men and women with heads uncovered passed slowly through, with- out conversation and without making any stir. ——__—_+4.______— To Attend the Funeral.

A MESSAGE FROM GOV. CULLOM. Gov. Cullom, of Illinois, has sent the follow- ing dispatch to President Arthw Deeply mourning the untimely death of the nation’s Chief Magistrate, the pevnle of Illinois turn to you, his constitutional si ssor, With a strong confidence, and promise that in ail acts of proper administration in the maintenance and execu- tion of the law they will give you unwavering support.” DR. AGNEW AND THE AUTOPSY. Dr. Hayes Agnew, who returned from Elberon to his country seat at Haverford. Pa., yesterday, said that the President’s case was one in which from the first there was very little hope, and that the autopsy should have been satisfactory as setting the public mind at rest upon that point, The penetration of the spine by the ball and the scattering of the small slivers of the bone, wounding the surrounding tissues, would sufficiently account, he remarked, for the subse- quent septic conditions, and, with the injury to the vertebre, was the inevitable cause of that train of sequences which resulted in the burst- ing of the mesenteric artery and the ensuing fatal hemorrhage. Dr. Agnew was asked if he was disposed to make any explanation relative tothe charge in one of the public prints that the diagnosis had been incorrect from the beginning and that the consulting surgeons had accepted and endorsed it through courtesy. His reply was: “I would refer those who may credit any | his new responsiti President Arthur's Family. The household now called to the White House by the death of President Garfield has no lady to preside over it. President Arthur lost his wife a year ago last January, and sadness over her loss is among his _griefs.” She was the daughter of Lientenant Commander Herndon, of the United States nay ‘ho went down on his ship, the Central America. A gold medal, in rec nition of his brave his widow and a monument ( erected in the Naval Acade his*memory was grounds at An- napolis, Gen. Arthur married Miss Herndon in the early part of his career as a lawyer in New York city. He has two children, one a youth of 17, named after his father, but ‘called Allan by the family; the other a girl of 11, named Nellie. These, with the servants, constitute the house hold of the modest Lexington avenue residence. The President has one brother, Major William Arthur, of the regular army. He has three mar- Tied sisters. Of these, Mrs. Mary Mcklro: Albany, has spent a3 mich time at his house has looked as much after his household alfa'> asshe could. President Arthur's accession t ties has been too m him to give any cousidi ments for his residence at Washingt the cares of her own family will pe McElroy will most probably be the lady who will preside at the White House. ocala ors The Garfield Family Mourning Dresses, The mourning dresses for Mrs. Garfield, her daughter. (Miss Mollie Garfield.) and Mrs. and | Miss Rockwell, were made up on Tuesday by Lord & Taylor, of New York, in the remark: short time of two hours and a half. The dresses are of the finest mourning mate- rial, called Henrietta, trimmed with the finest English crape, but made up, as befits the solemn occasion and Mrs. Garfield's well-known dislike of ostentation, in the simplest style and most excellent taste. The principal of Mrs. Garfield’s dresses may be said to consist of deep folds of crape, the underskirt being trimmed with a fold eighteen inches deep, and the overskirt, which is of a very plain and unpretentious nature, with a deep fold to match the underskirt. The waist is cut in basque shape. and trimmed with deep revers of crape, and with collars and cuffs to match. Mrs. Garfield’s hat isa simple round bonnet made of folds of fine English crape, having a deep. rich veil of the same material falling in graceful folds over the head. The inside of the hat is finished with a simple widow's border. Miss Mollie Garfield’s dress is a plain, girlish costume suited to her tender years. It is com- posed ofa skirt of Henrietta,trimmed onthe lower part with a box-pleating three inches deep, which is headed with a row of five tucks. There isno overskirt, but a simple scarf drapery of crape, finished with a bow on the left side. The dress is completed by a shirred waist set into a yoke confined to the waist by a handsome belt and bow of crape. Miss Moilie’s hat is a flare, made of very rich mourning silk, with facings trimmed to match. The hat is finished with heavy crape bands and bow. Mrs. Rockwell's dress is made of a yery hand- some imperial serge, sree but elegantly trimmed. Miss Rockwell's, like that of Miss Mollie, is of Henrietta cloth, trimmed with a row of kn.fe pleatings round the underskirt. There is a soft draped open overskirt, with deep mourning fringe. The hats of Mrs. and Miss Rockwell are in keeping with their dresses. The outside wrappings of all the ladies are of the same materials as their dresses, and without ornament. A MEDIC: NE FOR WOMAN.
