Jay Gould
St Louis December 23 Yesterday
Pullman palace car company made an
application to Jndge McCreary of the
United States court sitting at chambers
in Keokuk Iowa for an injunction to
prevent the Iron Mountain railroad from
substituting tho Wagner sleeping cars
for the Pullman cars arrangements for
which had been made to go into effect
January 1 Judge McCreary issued a
restraining order which reached
the United States court here
this niternoon and notice was at
once served on the officers of the Iron
Monntain company The case will be
argned here but so far ns known the
lay of hearing has not been set It
appears that tho contract between the
Pullman and Iron Mountain companies
expired on November 30 but the Wagner
cars to be used on the road after that
date not being ready at that t jme it was
verbally agreed that Pullman cars should
continue to run until the Wagner cars
were completed An arrangement to this
effect it is alleged was mado between Mr
Pullman mid Col A W Goper general
manager of tiio Wagner company but
now it appears that Mr Pullman
has taken a different view of the case
and has invoked tho aid of the United
States court to compel the railroad com
pany to continue tho use of their cars
The purpose of the railroad company was
to put Wagner cars not only upon tho
Jackson and Meridian road but upon
the Texas Pacific and International and
Great Northern and with this view in-
tended commencing tonight to dis
tribute ten cars which have been here
some days past to proper points on the
roads mentioned This it is under
stood will not now be done and
no action will be taken in this
direction except under tho instructions
from Jay Gould who is in active corre-
spondence with VicePresident Hayes
and General Manager Hoxie on the sub
jeet It is alleged that Mr Gould will
light this case to tho bitter end and that
the Pullman will press it with all the
vigor possible It is also the design of
Mr Gould to use the Wagner cars on
the Missouri Pacific system as soon as
the contracts expires It will therefore
be seen that great interest is involved in
the suit

Yesterday evening Mr John Hearn
who is the possessor of a saddle pony
hitched it in the alley back of the
National bank In a short time ho found
it necessary to use tho animal but it was
not there and in looking around he
found a Teutonian perched upon its
back leisurely taking in tho town A
policeman was called to invito the
foreign gentleman to dismount and in a
few minutes he was on his way to the
county jailr It is said that tho man
arrived in tho city only the
day before and i3 unable to
speak English His dress and general
appearance are unmistakably foreign
and whatever may have prompted him
to take tho horse it could not have been
the desire to steal him The man if we
aro informed aright is entirely unfa-
miliar with our laws and customs but
after being in Texas awhile will prob
ably learn that borrowing other peoples
horses is dangerous business

cation of tho elite who attend tho show
Thoso who seem to know best say that
he was struck amidships with tho most
poignant grief yesterday because
one of the female artists was dropped
from the lists and told that she might go
hence It is further stated that she had
not been too devoted to Wentworth and
apparently life became n dreary waste
to him Last night when he came out
to contort ho went through all right
until he came to the part where he
shoves his head through a leather ring
andpretends to hang himself He un-

TIIE GDITEAU TMAL YESTERDAY
A rtlcrrj Christmas
Washington December 27 The
crowd at the Guiteau trial this morning
was as grea as usual When Guiteau
reached his seat ho looked around and
said I had a nice Christmas dinner
and I hope everybody else did I had
lots of fruit flowers and lady visitors
ami a good time generally
Dr A E McDonald superintendent
of Wards insane hospital took tho
stand Ho had during his
practice seen a thousand cases
ot insanity and had given special
study to it He stated the difference
between delusion and insane delusion
the former being subject to correction
by the judgment and Bense but the lat-
ter could not be sq corrected and for
that reason is denominated insane de-
lusion Ho believed jndging from bis
observation and experience that the
claim of inspiration frequently
asserted by insane persons pro-
ceeded from some hallucination of
tho feeliug or senses He
was asked if a persons insanity under
inspiration would be indicated in any
other way than by this association and
ho replied that their actions and behav-
ior would indicate it as well as their as-
sociation In answer to the question
whether such persons would form any
apprehension of bodily injury or would
take any precautions against it he said
that inspiration always overrides all fear
of bodily pain aud renders per-
sons who bolieve thoy are acting
under inspiration oblivious to such
considerations They seldom will plan
deliberation but on the contrary their
nets aro sudden and conception and ex-
ecution as a rule are rapid and they
seldom attempt to avoid the conse-
quences in any way
Guiteau suggested there were two
kinds ot insanity tho crank insanity
and tho Abraham insanity and that he
belonged to the hitter class
Tho witness described what is com-
monly called temporary insanity and
said he did not believe in such iusanity
and in all his experience had never seou
an instance of it
Dr McDonald did not believe in he
reditary insanity An unusual defect
might be transmitted but not disease
itself As a rule the descendants of in-
sane persons did not become insane for
if they did everybody in tho world
would by this time bo insane Tho
tendency wa3 more toward health than
tho inheritance of disease Neither did
he believe in moral insanity Tho
phrase is recent and has been since its
invention another name for wickedness
or craft It was first used during the
French revolution to excuse the
slaughters of the period
Tho counsel for tho prosecution in
putting a question referred to Dr
Spitzku as a horsedoctor and to another
witness ns an agnostic Scovillo called
attention to these reflections upon wit
nesses for the defense and Judge Cox
sustained tho objection and offensive
termt were withdrawn
Dr McDonald said Shat in his inter-
view with Guiteau tho latter had spokeu
of his act as a conception of his own
and his praseology thronghoutjtho inter
view was a variation upon concoi ved the
idea Ho did not then speak of
inspiration and said ho had conceived
tho ideaabout six weeks before carrying
it into effect He said it was tho act of
God Guiteau in reply to McDonalds
question why he had not left the execu-
tion of the idea to God as well as its
conception said that God left matters
of detail to his chosen instruments
Guiteau had discussed the question of
insanity with Dr McDonald and to liini
Guiteau said ho had been looking at the
qiestiou of insanity and while ho was
not medically insane lp was legally in-
sane and expects acquittal on that
ground and would be sent to nn asy-
lum that nfterbeiug there a short time
he would apply for a commission of in1
quiry which of course would find ho
was not insane and his discharge would
follow McDonald saw nothing in
his face or shape or his head to indicate
insanity
Tho district attorney hero jmt tho
direct qnestion to McDonald whether
from his personal examination and care
ful consideration ot the prisoner during
tho trial he considered him sauo or
iusane
McDonald replied I believe him to
be sane
To further questions McDonald said
he believed Guiteau had been playing a-
part in court He had carefully watched
him when making his assertion had
been prompted by deity had observed
that his gesticulations intonations and
facial expressions while using this ex-
pression wore always the same
oxcept once Gu cau during an
interview had apparently forgotten
his part and halfcompleted tho
assertion in nn ordinary conversa-
tion at the time but suddenly recollect-
ing he stopped and commenced the de-
claration over again with familiar ef-
fect As to Gniteaus habit of interrupt-
ing court DrMcDonald did not think an
insane person would have had such a
correct apprccintionof time or effect or
show bo much method in his interrup-
tion An insane man it moved by im
pulso to interrupt would have done
so regardless of the stage of
the proceedings The conduct of an
insane person would not bo character-
ized by such selection is had been
shown by the prisoner Ho had ob-
served Guiteaus interruptions had been
most freqnent and excited when tho
evidence was telliug against him
Guiteau interrupted McDonald by
sayinf You are making a great todo
about nothing I do not pretend I am
insane now
Witness noticed Guiteaus constant
reading of the newspapers aud had con-
cluded that newspaper comment had in-
fluenced Guiteaus conduct As an exam-
ple ot this ho cited Guiteaus speech
against his former wife which bad been
referred to in the papers before she
camo on the stand an evidence of n
depraved mind and when an onpor
tunity offered he carefully refrained from
executing tho threats
Guiteau frequently interupted Mc-
Donald combatting his conclusions and
advising him to draw his money and go
home
A Steamboat Explosion
RicnMoxD December 27 An explos-
ion occurred yesterday at Westport
Virginia on board tho steamer Veat
port plyingbetween that place and
Baltimore There were twelve colored
men in the forward hold at the time all
of whom were either killed by tho ex
plosion or burned to death Five
other men wero aft stow-
ing cotton Tlieso jumped over-
board and four of them were drowned
The first officer of the steamer Peter
Gcoghogan of Baltimore was blown
overboard bnt was saved although lie
is quite badly burned Quartermaster
William Bohannn of Baltimore was
seriously and possibly fatally burned
Soveral others were more or less
severely burned
The boats cargo was mado up of mis
cellaneous freight among which were
several hundred barrels of oil sixty of
which were gasoline The oil becoming
ignited the flames spread with such
rapidity that there was no chance of
saving the vessel nor any of the per-
sons on board of her oven if they wero
not killed by the explosion The forward
portion of the deck and a great portion
of tho starboard side were blown ont
and thero is no donbt that all those in
the hold or near the forward hatch were
instantly lulled The four men who
were drowned were stowing cotton in
tho after bold After they jumped over-
board a large hatch fell on them dis-
abling them so they drowned The
cause of the explosion is as yet a mys

Reference has been lepatedly made to
the skill and heroism displayed by our
noble volunteer firemen in their contest
with the raging conllagiaiion Saturday
night But thongh apparent from the
first tint they hal saved long ions of
valuable buildings in at least two direc-
tions only a careiu inspection reveals a
conception of the niHrvtlom rescue ef-
fected in saving the Downs building and
Mi = onic temple which stood next tbe
burning house Not only did heated
smoke with stilling intcnity lill every
room ol this large building but the
UauH s at one time passing through an
archway leaped with lurid glare entirely
through the large room occupied by the
Lewiiie Bothers with their mammoth
stock of dry goodsand completely swing
ing everything not utterly destroyed by
the fire Such was the intensity ot the
heat indeed that not only a heavy coat of
paint but res n in great clots was drawn
from the ceiling and fed in scorchingpoos
upon the goods below The goods it is
true comprising as they did one of the
largcsr and finest stocks ever brought
to Texascould not be suved for these it
appear are in cllect a total lo Hut
that the building it > elf with itsadjicents
should by any possible means have been
riscucduiiTsuchcinuiii3ttnccs is mar-
velous to say the least and an honorto

sic The Journal says In Chicago

mand greater salaries than is given in
