The fact that the President's funeral was to take place on Friday was kept from him, but he was given to understand that it would take place from this city, and that thousands of people would be in the city. GUITEAU AND THE MINUTE GUNS. It was thought that when the minute guns were fired Friday afternoon it would be worth while to watch the assassin and see how he would be affected. One of the officials asked if he heard the guns, and he answered in a subdued tone “Yes.” He was evidently in deep thought, ling t nceal his feelings. A: weame very muc and when about dark Gen. Crocker, with Major MeGilv approached the cell he Piaced hin in the corner of the cell, ut of sight and reach of the Major, and was red. Gen. Crocker remarks with him, and vid he felt some apprehension for his se of the number of strangers in the 5 sked, “What means, general, have been taken for my protectic Gen. Crocker answered that the government was determined to defend his life until his lezal trial, and had an ample force near at hand to protect the build- ing andto keep him safe. Guiteau, after re- fiecting a moment asked, “What are the feeiin; of the cuards? Wi obey orders? Can they be relied on?” Gen. er answered, “The major, here, can better inform you on those points.” Guiteau hearing the major alluded to id. “Oh! that is the major.

Crocker on going to his cell ascertained that he was fearful as to his safety. His first question was, ‘Is there a crowd in the cit: followed by this: “Can the goyern- | ment protect me: i He then added | the remark: ension to be | feared is as to the s Croeker re- toarked that there were great crowds here and the government would protect him a: could, still leaving him in d Y He is, in fact, sick to-day from fear, being at- tacked with diarrhea. “About one o'clock Saturday he sent out a note as follo’ “Gen. Croeker: will you please let me take a bath in my ceil and sgnd in two buckets of luke warm water. Respectfully, C.G.” He thus furnished | documentary evidence of his abject fear, for | heretofore he has been anxious to take his bath st wing. ‘S BATH. ~ The officers did not accede to this reqnest, and about two o'clock Capt. James Coleman escorted him across the rotunda, down to the bath-room. ‘There were a number of soldiers in the rotunda at the time, and as he walked over the floor with a quick but light cat-like step, he was fear- ful. for his countenance bere a wild, frightened look. and his eyes darted from one to another as if he was apprehensive of an attack from some one. Reaching the steps he darted down them quickly into the bath-room. When he had stripped the upper part of his body, and was testing the temperature of the water, some of the jail guards walked down the steps toward the fire room, and the assassin quickly closed the door, evidently from his looks fearing that his time ‘had come. Capt. Coleman, however, opened the door, and the assassin, with his short cropped hair fairly standing on ‘end, went on with his preparations and took his bath. HIS APPETITE. It is supposed that since learning of the Presi- dent’s death his great fear has caused an in- crease in his appetite, or rather that he has be- come so fearful of his life that he tries to nerve Iumself by eating, as he t: an increased quantity of food with extra relish.

DISCOURSES RELATING TO THE DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT. The sad events of last week furnished the topic cf discourse in nearly every chureh in the city yesterday. The congregations were unusually large. At the North Presbyterian church, Rev. Chas. B. Ramsdeli preached an appropriate sermon on | the death of the President. He spoke of the life | and character of Mr. Garfield es one to be emu- | lated. woke of him as a citizen, a scholar, . and, better than «ll, as a Christian, was yery affectiag, and st blessings were invoked on the af- f the deceased, with the hope that 1d be blest for the good of the rch yesterday morn- {. Gardner, preached or. Xii,8, and referred to the high char- acter of our lamented President, not only as chief ruler of the nation, but as a Christian man, i w the First Congregational church, where a | great congregation was assembled, the pastor, | Dr. Rankin, spoke on the funerals of great men | in the life of the nation, from the text, “For | behold tie Lord, the Lord of Hosts doth take |) away from Jerusalem and from Judah the | mighty man, the man of war, the honorable man, the counselor and the eloquent orator.” Rey. 5. M. Hartsock, at Hamline M.E. church, preached a sermon from the theme “Know ye as that there is a prince and a great man fallen.” Rey. J. G. Butler preached in Memorial Luthe- Tan church from the following two texts taken from the Psaims: “I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, because Thou didst it.” ‘Mine ene- mies reproach me while they say daily unto me, “Where is thy God?” At the Waugh M. E. Church Rey. W. Downs preached on the death of President James A. Gartlield, his text being “Man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets. At the Mt. Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church South, 9th and K streets, the sermon, which re- ferred especially to the President’s death, was preached by the Rev. David D. Wills. The remarks of Rey. W. 1. McKenney at Wesley Chapel in reference to the great sorrow which has fallen upon thenation were earnest and replete with the lessons of the sad event. At the Charch of the Ascension (P.E.) the rector, Rey. Dr. J. L. Elliott, delivered the sermon, selecting for his text, “So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Rey. George V. Leech, pastor of the Fourth street M.E. Church preached from the text, “Know ye not that there is a Prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?” At McKendree Methodist Episcopal Church the pastor, Rey. A. H. Richardson, took for his text the words: “Thy will be done.” He devoted his whole discourse to President Garfield. At the E-street Baptist church, after very im- pressive introductory exercises, the pastor, Rev. Dr. D. W. Faunce, preached from the text. Peete the strong staff broken and the beauti- fal red.” “The Life and Its Lessons,” was the subject of the discourse at All Souls’ church, Rev. R. R. Shippen, and “The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice, clouds and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His Throne,” <vas the text chosen. At St. Paul's English Lutheran church the pas- tor, Rev. Dr. Domer, took for his text, “For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Rey. Franklin Noble, a college classmate of the late President, preached at the Sixth-street Presbyterian church, devoting his discourse to some interesting reminiscences of Gen. Garfield. His text was from Luke xxiv, 21: “We trusted = it had been He which should have redeemed israel.” Rey. A. W. Pitzer, D.D., of the Central Pres- byterian church, 3d and I streets, preached from “I pray thee let me go over and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly moun- tain and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes and would not hear me; and the Lord said unto me: Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.” The text selected by Rev. Dr. Chester at the Metropolitan Presbyterian church Was: “And by it, he being dead, yet speaketh.” ‘At the Epiphany Church the rector, Rey. Dr. Paret, selected as the basis of his discourse the words, ‘Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” He used the life of the Presi- dent as an illustration of the text. At the Christian church, in the absence of the pastor, Mr. Power, who is in Cleveland, Dr. Russell, of St. Louis. preached. The church was crowded, expecting to hear some reference to the late President, but none was made, the sermon being strictly a Biblical dissertation. The pew formerly occupied by President Gar- field and family was draped in mourning, and was in itself a most telling sermon. PULPIT CRITICISM OF THE DOCTORS. Dr. Butler, of the Lutheran Memorial church, in his sermon yesterday criticised the late Presi- dent’s phy: is for their exclusion from the sick room of the pastor of the Christian church of this city, the Rev, Mr. Power, who, though he requested several times, it is said, to see the e President during his illness, was not al- lowed to do so. Mr. Power never openly com- plained, though he spoke about it to his church people ‘and his ministerial brethren. It was in Dr. Butler's church that the union prayer meet- ings were held each evening during the Presi- dent's illness, which the congregation of the Christian church attended, their own church being too small to hold all who desired to attend them. Dr. Butler, in his sermon yester- id he had never heard of a case before where the patient was regarded by his physi- cians to be so ill that his minister was not al- lowed to administer spiritual consolation to him. He instanced the case of President Lincoln, whom Dr. Gurley, his pastor, was allowed to see him and to be present at his deathbed. He saia there was a sanitary and healing power in other appliances than physicians’ prescriptions, and that it was a surprise to all Christian people that Mr. Power was never allowed in the sick room. It was absurd, he said, to lose faith in prayer, though he admitted there was good rea- sons for losing confidence in medicat and surgi- cal science. One of the most striking features of the case, he said, was the mistake in the diagnosis of the men who had it in charge. but epee be no good reason for losing confidence in G ————— Busy Tiwes oN THe River.—Harbor Master Sutton reports arrivals at the river front for the past three days as follows: Longboat Pioneer, Capt.

To the Editor of Tue Evenixe Stan: The criminal laws of the District would not be out ofplace inthe grand duchy of Gerolstein, and we would not be at all surprised if some en- terprising writer of comic operas should, at a day not very far distant. pounce upon them for aplot to some musical extravaganza, which would serye to show them up, in the fall sub- limity of their ridiculousness, to a public for whose supposed protection these laws were framed. A case which recently came under our notice very well iitustrates the practical working of these laws. A colored boy, employed at the United States Marine barracks, in this city, as officers’ servant, was convicted of burglariously entering locked apartmentsand stealing jewel toa considerable amount, and suspected, witi good reason, of having stolen much more. When the case was brough to trial at the Police Court the boy, in consideration of his youth—sixteen years—received but half the penalty of his crime, namely, six months imprisonment. To their astorshment the victims of these thefts learned in a few days that the prisoner's friends had procured his release by the payment of $100, and the criminal is now free to enjoy the profits of his thievery, for articles amount- ing to much more than that sum are missed from the officers’ quarters, and the perfectly Just supposition is that they are in his (the thief’s) possession. It may be that we, being unlearned in the laws of the District, are mistaken in our judgment of them, and that the entire transaction is “crooked” and illegal; but knowing nothing of the causes of these strange proceedings we pre- fer to attribute them to the imperfect law, rather than to its guardians, until we have proof of the dishonesty of those guardians. If the criminal laws are responsible they are certainly calculated to protect and encourage the worshipful company of burglars, for it is only Laan for themto secure more than $100 worth of “loot” to make a profitable job of the transaction, the surplus, after the demands of Justice are satisfied, being, of course, ‘‘net gain.” ‘Victims. ee Affairs in West Washington. GARFIELD MEMORIAL SERVICES.—Services are being held in most of the churches here to-day, and the stores are generally closed. Many of the ministers in their discourses yesterday drew lessons from the late national loss. Dr. J. McK. Reiley, of the Dumbarton street church, took as his subject “‘A stricken nation’s appeal to Heaven,” and delivered a very fine sermon. Serious AccipeNT.—Saturday about noon, while Mr. Wm. H. Simms was standing in front of his planing mill, at the foot of Washington street, some of the bits became loose and in fly- ing from the machine one struck him in the face, severely cutting and bruising his nose and injur- ing his eyes. He was taken to Lockhart’s drag store, corner of High and 2d streets, where Dr. Adams attended him. His injuries were ascer- tained not to be dangerous although very pain- ful. Sandford Trexler, employed in the mill, was also struck by one of the flying bits and knocked down. but was not much hurt. A Lapy EysuRED FROM A STONE THROWN INTO 4 Can.—About 6 o'clock Saturday evening a col- ored tan, named George Beale, threw a stone into a Metropolitan street car while standing in front of the stables on P street.
