The Rev. D. P. Lindsley ot 144 East
Fifty-second street, a minister of the
PrHbytet ian chuft'h In good standing,
ItoW engaged in the4 publishing busi
ness flt 37 Park Row, told & Sun re
porter Inst night a curious story of his
life's premonition of the President's
assassination.
"My wife," said Mr. lindsley, "had
been sick a year. She died on Tues
day of last week. She had shortly be
fore her ch?ath four Severe hemor
rhages of the lungs. Opiates were
employed to relieve 'her sufferings,
and she often talked incoherently.
On the night of the third day before
the President was ttfv?sinated I was
sitting by the bedside while she was
sleeping. She awoke, apparently in
some degree of excitement and ex
citement and exclaimed :
"Why President Garfield is shot!"
"I tried to calm her, and told her
she had probably beert dreaming.
When her sister Annie took my place
at the bedside Mrs. Lindsley repeated
the same thing to her. "Annie says
Mrs. Lindsley says :
"Is not President Garfield shot7f
"No," replied Annie.
I am certain he is shot, because 1
was there and saw it,' continued Mrs.
Lindsley.
"You must have been dreaming,"
said Annies
vv T was there and saw it.' This
she repeated several times, and added
sh to the larlies who were there:
He will die, will he not?" and the
ladies replied, "Oh, no, he will get
well."
On the third day after, .this occur
rence, when the ne ws of the assassina
tion of the President was taken to the
sick room, Mrs. Limlxley did not ap
pear surprised, but said: 'I knew it
three days ago,". And then she re
peated what be hod before related
about what her conversation was with
the ladies. During her illness Mrs.
Lindsley frequently astonished her
attendants by her knowledge of what

The prison fare and discipline hftve
tftken much of the starch out of tjui
teau, and have even had a wilting
effect on his inordinate vanity. When
first confined m made frequent com
plaints of his treatmentj he regarded
himself as an important iersonage, a
prisoner of State, and demanded bet
ter care than was bestowed upon his
fellow-prisoners, whom he denomina
ted common felons: he protested
against being put on a level with
other prisoners, said he was a gentle
man accustomed to having the best of
fare, arid, in fact, to luxury, arid in
sisted that he should be so treated.
His demands were often made in . an
insulting manner and usually ignored.
He is fond of writing about himself
and consumes every scrap of paper he
can get in this Way. He has net
ceased to complain and to demand
better treatment, but he is changed;
heis more subdued and apparently
begins to realize that others do not re
gard his crime in the light does.
The other dny he complained that he
did not get coffee enough and the war
den allowed him two cups at a meal,
while the uth3r prisoners got only
one. This concession .seerned to re
vive his spirit of self-importttnce, attd
he forthwith began to put oi airs
again; then his extra allowance of
coffee was cutoff, whereupon he wrote
ft lengthy letter to. the Warden,
couched In offensive language, and
telling that officer that he was not fit
to have charge of a man of slidi im
portance, as Guiteau. The Warden
paid no attention to the letter, except
to determine not to allow Guiteau an
other favor, but to confine him to the
most rigorous prison treatment. None
of the guards are allowed to speak to
Guiteau; the Warden and his deputy
and the District Attorney and his as
sistants are the Only persons who are
permitted to exchange ttny words
with the prisoner. When it is necs
essary for one Of the officials to see
Guiteau, he is brought into the War
den's offce and locked inside with the
official, and a guard stationed at the
door. Guiteau has abandoned all his
foppishness. At first, in jail, he was
careful with his toilets, but now he
colties into th? Warden's room When
sent for, sometimes only half dressed.
One time he appeared with only his
shirt and pants on, the pants rolled
up, and the last time he had on noth
ing but his pants. : He has never been
changed from one cell to another, as
is reported; he is in the same cell he
was first put in.
Corkhill's order to put him in soli
tary confinement, and shut him off
from the sight of others, has not been
complied with, as the jail has too
many prisoners to admit of this Be
sides, the Warden coasiders Guiteau's
present foode of confinement about as
solitary as can well be in a jail so full
of prisoners. Guiteau has no desire
to escape. He knows the danger he
wouM incur outside from popular in
digriation. lie first heard that the
President was getting well from the
talk of the guards. He had been
Drought to the i Warden's room to
wait for the District Attorney, and
while sitting there one of the guards
remarked that the President would
get well. This is the only informa-
nun uuiwau nas received concerning
the President's condition.

About half-feast 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon a tragedy was enacted in the
enclosure between the engine room of
Tappey t Steel's foundry and Uttioh
street, which for horror and bloodshed
stands almost without a rival in the
chronicles of our usually law-abiding
community." In less than ten minutes
from the commencement of what a
casual observer would have called a
harmless altercation between two in
toxicated men, a couple of ghastly
of corpses the one with a bullet-hole in

I dragged her toward the spot where
the life preservers were -kept and

not care. 1 fastened the preserver
about Fanny, and I put another about

At the time that Green arrived at the
hotels Lee was in the barber sliftp,
where, according to the testimony of
the barkeeper, .several drinks had been
sent him, and he had become very
much under the influence of the liquor
he had drunk. Shortly after Green
entered the hotel, and while" he was
standing iri the barroom chatting
with the barkeeper , Lee eame in and
some slight discussion occurred be
tween him and A. S ttentley, the man
in charge of the bar, fts to the payment
ofadrinfcj Green asMed Lee why he
did not py for the drink. After this
had been arrange Lee requested Bent

TbisBeiltly did, and then Lee asked
Green to take a drink with him.
Green declined. Lee then Itlttde use
of some very insulting Words, to
which Green replied in language
equally as insulting: An altercation
seemed inevitable, when they were
told that nO fighting would be allowed
in the roorOi THey' then withdrew
from the hotel, Lee Ifl front and Green
following him. They crossed the rail
road in front of the hotel and made
toward the opposite side of the street
in the direction of the foundry of
Messrs. Tappey & Steel.
Having reached the opposite side of
the street they entered th9 enclosure
attached to the foundry, rind from this

about 5 o'clock in the afterriOOnj when
polieemen Bruner and Browtr found
it hecsary to arrest a negro named
Tom Wilson down on f west Wade
street for a disgusting violation of the
town ordinances. Wilson had been
drinking pretty freely, and was very
refractory, but the officers took him
and started to the guard house by way
of Martin street t j When they had
reached the corner at Burns' Hotel
Wilson undertook to make his escape
by flight, drawing his pistol and snap
