There fs little doubt but the grand jury of the District of Columbia will, on reconyening on Monday next, at once proceed to hear the evi- dence in the case of Chas. J. Guiteau, and will | within a few hours return an indictment. Per- haps during the week he will be arraigned and | a time set forhistrial. Thisarraignment need not take place next week, and it is quitecertainthat | the trial will not be commenced until the | following week if then, for the court and ee will be occupied with District cases for all of next week. There is among members of the bar a desire that the Chief Justice should pre- side. Asit is now understood that the defense will be insanity should the prisoner be given a | fair trial there should also be given some little time for a study of the case by experts. It is likely that when Mr. Scovilie arrives an applica- tion will be made for a continuance of the case, both for the purpose of having experts study the case and to allow time for the public mind to quiet down. The following dispatch was received by Col. Corkhill yesterday: “-iicaco, Sept. 29, 1881.—Please tell Guiteau will be there next Tuesday evening. “@g0. SCOVILLE.” SERGEANT MASON’S CASE. In the case of Sergeant John A. Mason, who shot at Guiteau on September 11, the same plea wll be interposed in his trial by court-martial— | insanity. If it should be of no avali, then an effort will be made to have the condition of his mind passed on subsequently by a board of in- quiry, with the view of sending him to the in- | sane asylum. As was stated in Tur Star a few days azo a court-martial has been ordered, of which Lieut. Col. Mizner is the president, but the time for meeting has been postponed. It is likely that the court will not assemble till after the Yorktown celebration, October 19. | On the trial it is understood testimony will be introduced to show that Mason was not in his Tight mind, and also that on at least two pre- | vious occasions he approached members of his | company and endeavored to persuade them to shoot the assassin. Directly after this freak of Mason, in some of the departments subscriptions were taken up in Mason’s behalf, but few of them have, however, been heard from. Some small subscriptions were, however, received from distant points. As the trial approaches, Mason, who is a poor man, realizes the necessity of friends to aid him in his defense. STORRS DECLINES. A telegram from Chicago last night saye:— George Scoville to-day formally asked Hon. Emory Storrs to assist in the defence of Guiteau. Mr. Storrs declined. ————— Washington Market, Retail Prices.

Seat Cavett to MALS.—A colored man named this morning with cruelly treating and working when unfit for labor a horse. Mr. Ball, of the S. P. C. A., testified that this man had a horse hitched to a wagon, yesterday afternoon, and the horse, which is an exceedingly old and poor one, fell on the street from sheer weakness, and his back was nearly covered with frigntful sores. The defendant pleaded ignorance of the law, but the court said that he would not excuse him on this account, but would have to fine him $25 or 6 days in the workhouse..... Wm. Collins, a contractor in South Washington, was charged with cruelly treating a horse by tying a line around his lip and pulling him along. He was fined $1. ——— Lost His Lire is a Foun Wei..—This morning a man named Littell, with some laborers, went to Mr. Miller's farm back of Mount Olivet cemetery, on the Bladensburg road, to repair a well. Mr. Littell descended into the well and in a few minutes fell, over- come with a poisonous gas, and when taken out life was extinct. The alarm was given and word was despatched to the coroner, who will make an investigation of the case. oe A Young Virginian’s Suicide. THE TRAGIC DHATH OF W. F. C. GREGORY— SHOT TWICE THROUGH THE BODY WITH A “BULL DOG” PISTOL. A distressing tragedy occurred last evening at the boarding house of Mra. E. C. Ingle, cor- ner of 3d and C streets. A few minutes before six o'clock, Just as the guests or the house had finished dinner, two pistol shots were heard in the upper part of the house. It was soon ascer- tained that one of the boarders, a young man named W. F. C. Gregory. j committed suicide. Gregory had dined with the family, as usual, and his actions attracted no comment. Upon rising from the table he went directly to his room, on the fourth floor, and five minutes afterwards the first pistol ‘shot was heard. A youth named ichard C. Edwards started at once towards Gregory's room, but be- fore he had mounted the first flight of stairs, another shot was heard. Young Edwards was joined by his father, Rey. A. L. Edwards, and ir. Kemp 8. Goorloe. Finding Gregory's door locked, they looked over the transom and dis- covered Gregory lying on the bed, while smoke Wwascurling up from the bosom of his shirt, which had been ignited by the powder from the pistol. The door was burst open. It was found that the young man _ had | shot himself twice through the body, both balls passing through the region of the heart, and killing him before the alarmed inmates of the house reached him. Gregory had removed his coat and vest and sat upon the eilge of the bed. He useda Bull-dog pistol, like the one used by the assassin Guiteau, to accom- plish his purpose. One ball passed through his Bod coming out under the shoulder blade, and striking the wall fell flattened to the floor. The other, supposed to have been the second ball fired, passed downward, coming out just above the hip, and was found in the folds of the shirt. That the suicide was deliberate was evidenced by two notes left on the table in his room, one saying ‘Forget and forgive this deed,” the other making an itemized statement of certain monies he had in banks here and in Richmond, together with $97 in his pockets, the entire amount being several hundred dollars. Jnst before dinner he went to his landlady ane paid in full his board bill, which would not have been due until to-day. X Gregory was 22 years of age. and the only son of a prominent lawyer, W. F.C. Gregory, of Richmond. He has resided in Washington four years, boarding at Mrs. Ingle’s and working in the House folding room at the Capitol. At the last commencement of the Columbia law school he graduated with honor and intended, his friends understood, to shortly engage with his father in the practice of law in Virginia. He was a regular attendant at the Central Presby- terian church and was considered to be exem- plary in every respect. During the summer he made atrip north, visiting Saratoga, Niagara and other famous resorts. Since his return about a month ago, his health has been poor, and he has complained very much. It is thought that his poor physical condition produced a de- spondency which led to the suicide. Coroner Patterson last evening, after investigating the case, decided that an inquest was unnecessary. The remains were this morning embalmed and sent to Richmond, Va. Mr. Gregory was well and favorably known by a large circle of friends B Reported for the Evexrs Stan.

E. Libbey. A cargo of lumber arrived to Mr. Libbey from Nor- folk, which Mr. Libbey informed Mr. Thomas had been inspected there, and that he did not wish him to inspect it. Mr. Thomas contended that it was not only his “ight, but his duty to do so, and later going upo.. the wharf to do so, was forcibly ej by Mr. Libbey. A tew days ago @ cargo arrived here for E. E. Jackson & Co., and they, in disregard of the law and despite a letter from the Commissioners, sent an inspector and measurer from Washington to do that duty, although informed by the Commissioners that all lumber coming to this port of the District must be measured by Mr. Thomas, the inspector for Georgetown. The matter is likely to go into the courts. SS SS Pennsylvania Enterprise in West Virginia.

He turned down the gaslights in the room, and, unleashing a fierce and powerful bloodhound, he set the brute on the unfortunate woman. The dog seized her by the neck and arms, lacerating and tearing the flesh badly. Her cries ot dis- tress reached the ears of some boys on the streets, and they informed Policeman Mulligan. The policeman entered the room and secured the infuriated animal until Policeman Riley came to his assistance. Wagner was taken into custody, and the dog was chained in a back room, and subsequently shot. Wagner was taken betore Justice Flammer, yesterday, at the Essex Market police court, and, notwithstanding that he had previously assaulted her, the poor wife was unwilling to press the charge. He was fined $5, and required to furnish bonds in $500 to keep the peace for six months, and in default tostand committed to prison for three months.— WY.
