i - IBy Telegraph to the Morning Star.
' lli'WASHraGTON, November 28. Tiie third
'week-of the Guiteau trial opened bright
and balmy, and the attendance in the court
" - room was as large as that of any previous
dayjThe Marshal delivered his daily ad
" xi -V monition to the audience and requested that
' " Vthe same order be observed as would be in
' .church. : Mr. Scoville and his coadjutors,
Chas. II. Reid and J. W. Guiteau, were
early in their seats, but counsel for the pros
; ' " ecution did not enter the room until several
. minutes after 10 o'clock.
- - The nlbnotomous "oyez" of the crier
7 y having been delivered, the names of the jury
' were called and the prisoner brought in.
"V Mr. Scoville asked consent to interrupt
- Mrs. coville's examination, so as to put
" -vapon the stand one or two witnesses from
a distance, who desired to leave the city to-
day. ' The prosecution, however, objected,
" C and Mrs. Scoville's examination was re
"V .-sumed. She described Guiteau's appearance
and actions during his visit to her house
- - in 1878.
. - Meanwhile the crowd in the corridors had
pressed their way through the marshal's
" ,V office, and in the effort to effect an entrance
' to the. court room, caused a momentary
V confusion, which necessitated a suspension
- of the court proceedings for a few minutes.
' "Quite a number of female voicesj were
' " heard, vociferating loudly that fhey would
V , be squeezed to death, and begging to be
1? allowed to get out. With some difficulty
the hall and corridor leading from the
J marshal's office to the court room were
cleared and the examination of witnesses
resumed.
f Witness was convinced at the time of
J Guiteau's visit to her, that he was insane
and should bput in an insane asylum.
. Frequent objections were raisecr Dy coun
sel f or, the .? Drosecution as to the character
s v of questions propounded by Mr. Scoville,
ana a continuous discussion ensued be-
tween counsel upon the admissibility of
- certain evidence.
Mrs. Scoville's examination in chief was
concluded at 11 o'clock, and at the request
, of Mr. Scoville the cross-examination was
postponed to allow Geo. D. Burroughs, of
J Chicago, to testify, as he desired to leave
the city to-day. He boarded with Mr.
Scoville at the time of Guiteau's visit in
""V 1878, and made up his mind that the pri
' soner was either a fool or crazy. He was
satisfiedTGuiteau was unsettled in his intel
f lect.
x There was a brief interval before the ap-
; Dearance of the next witness, and Guiteau
took advantage of the opportunity, and
broke out with. "I desire to tell all these
. . - crank newspaper men that I appear here as
. - mv own counsel; that is my answer to all
the sHr Btuff they have been delivering of
' " for some days past. Some of these news
1 . paper men have gone crazy. I appear here
in part as my own counsel, as I have a right
- " to de, under the law and constitution of
America."
No effort was made to check Guiteau,
and no notice whatever of the interruption
was taken by the Court.
How-to -silence the prisoner and put a
stop to his annoying interruptions has been
' a serious question with Judge Cox, who has
v more than once consulted his associates upon
" V the subject. To remove the prisoner from
I the court room and proceed with the trial
' m his absence, as was at first intimated by
the; Court might be done, would deprive
him of the undoubted constitutional right
' to confront the witnesses against him, while
to gag him, as Judge Cox Saturday threat
s ened to do, would be open to the objection
that it would serve as a constant reminder
to the jury, and exert an undue influence
upon their minds. The situation seems to
- . be an anomalous one. As long as the pri-
" soner insists upon acting as his own coun-
- sel, the Court cannot well deny him the
right, without admitting his insanity as a
bar to its exercise. The Court cannot well
punish him for contempt, as he is already
in confinement.
The members of the District bar depre-v?-
v, cate the severe strictures which have been
, made upon Judge Cox's failure to adopt
some vigorous measures, but are unable to
suggest any legal way out of the embar
rassment. -' John W. Guiteau, brother of the prisoner,
V- was then examined, and the Court took a
recess.
f S After the recess John W. Guiteau'again
took the stand, and Mr. Davidge proceeded
with his cross-examination. The witness
said he had always understood that his
- uncle Abraham had been an intemperate
and dissolute man ; he had been told by his
- father and had seen the record to the effect
'-' that his uncle Francis Guiteau had died in
- s the insane asylum? the cause of the in-
sanity, according to the record, appeared to
-be mortification at having fought a sham
; f y duel. He always understood that his cou-
. sin, Abby Maynard, was demented, and
. his cousin Granville Parker was, he had
been told, insane. He had never heard of
v any other cases of insanity in his family.
K . When Mr. Davidge finished his cross-ex-.
' animation Mr. Scoville asked the witness if
f It he had any f eeling against having insanity
proved in the family. The prosecution ob-
S jected to this question and the objection
" , was sustained. Mr. Scoville then proceeded
to examine the witness to show that since
- ; leaving his father when a young man, he
VC had only seen his father at rare intervals.
- ' "Mr. Scoville asked, "what is your opinion
. now as to your father's insanity ?" "I
jr . think he was sane," said the witness
-y; promptly. "Do you say that including in
- - making up your judgment the testimony
. j- that has been heard here ?"
. The Court prevented the witness fiom
tr. answering, saying that he could only answer
X as to facts that had come under his own
r '. knowledge.
, - - MSo far as to any facts that I know, " said
f the witness, "he was always sane."
. Being asked by Mr. Scoville to explain
what he meant by saying his brother was
. under "the influence of a demon, the wit-
ness said Jthat he and his father believed
that there were two forces in the world
' one; tjnder Satan, or the Devil, and the
other under Jesus Christ. These two forces
" were at war, and at present Satan had, to a
-j; great extent, dominion over the world. At
' some timeln his.brothor's life he had per
1 mitted his nature to gain such control over
. - him that he was under the control of the
,T)cva ; thiskwas what he meant when he
- ' saw. he Relieved his brother was responsible
. before God, though he might not be respon-
', j sole before human law. .
1 "You've got that thing wrong-side up,
, ' m7 fnend," said the prisoner, sharply "
1 VV'EE1! 1 have." replied the witness.
V "- . 5Yer7' Pr Geology," said the prisoner,

Speaking of -the prisoner's infancy the
-Witness said he remembered his father off er
- tnghim ten cents to keep still ten minutes
1 andthat the prisoner did not get the money
When.Ml : ,Guiteau ,was excused from
?, the.tand. Mr. Scoville called Mrs. Augus
tuiEarker, of Chicago. Witness testified
to the-insanity of her deceascd husbanav

insane three years in tne Jidgia Asynuu ue

to tne prisoner, me prisoner nau come iu
her house in Chicago, after her husband
was taken insane, but had ceased his visits,
at her . tequest, because he wanted to edu-,
cate her little daughter in order to marry
her. . '
Mr. Scoville asked if there was anything
rjeculiar about Guiteau s attentions to her
daughter that attracted attention.
The prosecution objected to this ques
tion. 3Ir. Scoville said he proposed to show
that he was carrying on insane attentions
to this girl of fourteen.
After some discussion the question was
put in a differhnt form, and 'the witness
said: "He fell desperately in love with my
daughter, and wanted to educate her and
marry her."
"Fell desperatelv in love with her," said
Mr. Davridge, slowly. "Wanted to edu
crte her and marry her. Avery common
form of insanity." A sally which called
fourth a burst of laughter.
."A very handsome girl, too, Judge,"
added the prisoner.
The witness said she formed the opinion
that the prisoner -was crazy, and she
thought so ten or eleven years ago, when
she first saw him.
The prisoner here spoke to explain his
relations with the family. "They wre
very poor, and J used to go down there and
give them money. They seemed to appre
ciate that, well enough. Incidentally I be
came somewhat interested in the daughter.
She was very pretty and smart. She was
altogether too young for me, however."
The witness, on cross-examinatien, said
that her husband used to drink, but she
never saw him intoxicated. She did not
know that that had anything to do with his
insanity.
Fernando Jones, a middle-aged gentle
man, testified to an acquaintance with the
prisoner in Chicago. Witness was a trus
tee of the Insane Asylnm at Jacksonville
for four years, and visited the Asylum fre
quently. As supervisor of the city of
Chicago he had also to deal with insane
persons. Witness, from the prisoner's acts
and words, had formed an opinion that he
was of unsound mind.
When Jones left the stand Mr. Scoville
said: "Theprisoner may be sworn."
The prisoner, attended by guards, there
upon took the stand, and by permission of
the Court sat down. The prisoner then
identified a number of letters written by
him to his father and others, heretofore
produced in Court by Mr. Scoville. The
prisoner while on the stand sat well back,
as far out of sight as possible. He spoke
very distinctly, and seemed to enjojr the
change in his situation very much.
At 3 o'clock the Court adjourned, the
prisoner was taken from the stand to his
room, and soon afterwards returned to
jail. - m m
WASHINGTON.
The Coming Congress Speculations as
to the Officers of the Next House.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.l
Washington, November 28. A number
of additional arrivals of Congressmen hav
ing been recorded to-day, the canvass for
the -Speakership has increased in activity.
But as less than half of the Republican
members of the next House are now in
Washington, the prospects of the rival can
didates are as yet mere matters of assertion
and conjecture. Very confident claims of
assured majorities in caucus are neverthe
less put forth by the supporters respectively
of x Messrs. Kasson, Keif er and Hiscock.
It is argued by the friends of Representa
tives Reed, Dunnell, Orth, Henderson and
Burrows, that each of these gentlemen is
likely to carry off the prize eventually, as
a result of a dead-lock among the three
candidates most prominently named. The
caucus nominee for the position of Clerk of
the House will, it is conceded, lie between
ex-Clerk Edward McPherson, of Pennsyl
vania, and ex-Congressman Rainey, of
South Carolina, with the chances largely
in favor of the former.
Among the candidates for Sergeant-at-Arms
is Jos. R. Davies, of New York,
who has established his headquarters at Wil
lard's Hotel. Mr. Davies waives all claims
to recognition in the event of Mr. Hiscock's
election as Speaker, and is making his can
vass with the understanding that he shall
withdraw if Hiscock succeeds.

"London, November 27. Sir William

Derby last evening, declared that the Min

The Observer's Dublin correspondent says
that the three new legal sub-commissioners
under the Land Act, are Mr. Foley,
Queen's counsel, and Messrs. Riche and
Wiley. The landlords are making strong
representations to the government in favor
of pushing the work under the act rapidly,
as it is generally believed that during the
period when litigation is pending no rents
will be paid The proceedings of the forth
coming Assizes are watched with extraordi
nary interest. It is reported that the Crown's
counsel have been instructed to put forward
early all cases of agrarian crime in which
the evidence is clear, and that in the event
of acquittals or disagreements in these cases,
the Crown counsel are to apply to the ad
journment of the Assizes, pending which
legislation would take the form of appoint
ment of a tribunal, consisting of a chair
man of Quarter Sessions and three stipen
diary magistrates, with full power to try all
offences except murder. The above dis
patch is based on rumors in legal and other
circles fof Dublin, and is likely to be well
founded.
London, November 28. The' Central
News states that Lefroy has fully confessed
the murder of Mr. Gold and also of Lieut.

racks some time ago.
A heavy gale prevailed throughout the
Kingdom on Saturday and Sunday, doing
serious damage to property, and nearly the
whole of the new pier at Folkstone was
washed away. There were many wrecks
on parts of the coast
London, Nov. 28. A Dublin correspon
dent of the Times says: "Some more ef
fective means must be found to restore or
der, unless the government is prepared to
let the country drift into anarchy and revo
lution. Accounts received daily of out
rages in various districts do not fully repre
sent the truth. In county Clare seven
houses were fired into last week. Resis
tance to the payment of rent has not in the
least abated, but has rather increased. "
A party of armed men entered the house
of a woman neer Listowel, county Kerry,
for the purpose of killing her because she
had given information to the police. Her
children threw themselves upon their mother
in terror, and one of them received a charge
of shot in its legs. The party then left the
house, after making the mother swear,
under a threat of death, not to divulge the
occurrence. Six persons have been arrested
on suspicion ot being concerned in the
outrage.
Arthur Lefroy has retracted his confes
sion relative to the murder of Lt. Rober,
and he declares that the confession was
made during a fit of hallucination. At the
Home Office it was stated that Sir William
Harcourt's determination to allow the exe
cution of Lefroy to-morrow to proceed is
unaltered.

A Madrid correspondent of the Times
says that he has reason to believe that Lord
Lyons, British Ambassador to France, as
sured the late French Cabinet, on behalf
both of England and Spain, that they could
not view the entry of the French troops
into Morocco as benevolently as they had
their entry into Tunis. This is a proof of
a complete understanding between England
and Spain, which M. Morier, British Am
bassador to Spain, will doubtless do his
utmost to cement. He had a long inter
view with Senor Armijo, Minister of For

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. J
Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 27. Early this
morning the large brick factory, on Second
street, owned by R. A. Hamilton, and oc
cupied by Jas. M. Williams, an extensive
sugar dealer, as a store house, was destroyed
by fire. Mr. Williams' loss is covered by
an insurance of $11,500. The building was
insured for $5,000. The fire originated in
the stables adjoining the factory which are
supposed to have been set on fire.
Richmond, Nov. 27. The schooner
Exertion, of New York, was destroyed by
fire yesterday morning while lying at the
White House, on the Pamunkey river,
waiting to load with wood. The mate and
two seamen were badly burned.
Baltimore, Nov. 28. A fire at the foot
of Chesapeake street, at Canton, shortly af
ter 2 o'clock this morning, burned two
floating elevators, the Russian barque
Vesta, the small yachts Smuggler and
Eagle, and two barges.
The total loss is estimated at $50,000.
The fire originated in the floating elevator
Artisan, and was communicated to the
floating elevator Hattie.both of which were
totally destroyed. The barque Vesta is
said to be damaged beyond repairing. A
survey will be held to-morrow. A wharf
and shed belonging to the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad Compa
ny, to which the elevators were moored,
and another wharf adjoining, were burned.
The barque and canal barges had dis
charged their cargoes. The yachts were
small sail boats.
London, Nov. 28. The Dockyard
church, at Sheerness, was burned last
night. Damage 5,000. Nine persons were
injured.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Top Cotton Crop Throughout the
State Destroyed by the Freeze of Last
Friday.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Charleston, November 28. The News
and Courier says: "Trustworthy accounts
from all sections of the State concur as to
the blighting effect of the hard freeze of
last Friday morning in the cotton fields.
The unusual and protracted mild weather
of the last six weeks had allowed a new and
vigorous growth, encouraging many plant
ers to hope that with a fortnight more of
moderate weather the top crop might be se
cured, which would in some measure make
up for the serious loss occasioned by the
drought of last summer, but the sudden
change in the temperature on Friday has
put an-nd to these sanguine anticipations.
Even on the Sea Islands, where the cold
was least severe, the young bolls all present
a scalded appearance, and the vitality of
the plant has entirelv ceased. In the inte
rior of the State likewise, the promising
top crop has been killed. As the frost
seems to have been general throughout the
cotton region, itis hardly likely that there
will be any further addition to the yield of
this year's crop of the staple. "
