From the New York Sun, Sept. 20.
The particulars of thc death
scenes were more fully learned

President was sleeping. Gen. Sw
and Stanley Brown were with him.

tions for the night had been ma
Mrs. Garfield and Miss Mollie were
their cottage near by. Shortly after
o'clock the President was awakei
from his sleep by a pain in the reg
of the heart, and called Gen. Swaii
attention to it. Those were his ]
words. Dr. Bliss, who was at hai
was summoned, and pronounced t
President to be dying. Drs. Agnew a
Hamilton were sent for, and the foni

end, which she had for some hoi
dreaded as inevitable. Sbewentatoi

took his hand in hers. The Presid?
was helpless and speechless, but as 1
wife sat down by him he turned his ft
towards her slightly and fixed bis oj
upon his wife. And so he sank ir
unconsciousness, his eyes still bent
bis wife's face, while with one hand s
held her husband's and her other ha
lay on his heart. There was no wo
tittered. Drs. Agnew and Bliss ste
by the bedside. Mollie restraining h
sobs, was at her mother's side. T
watchers and attendants stood by, a
Dr. Boynton sat at the President's hea

imperceptible. The applications whi

j had come. The great-hearted man w
dead, and lay free from pain and stol
His eyes were open, but vacant, t
pupils still bent on the face of his stric

I Garfield controlled her feelings was sei
j in the fixed lines of the face as she aro
j and went from the room. At the do
?cf ber chamber she .broke quite dov
i for the first time. She sobbed aloa
i and in her first burst cf grief shut he
j self alone in her chamber. She r.emai
j ed thus alone for perhaps three minute
? and what new strength she got ra bri

j brave and resolute face as she came bac
i to the bed where her dead husband lai
! Dr. Hamilton with a woman's <rcntl
I ness, had closed the eyelids. Mrs. Ga
: field sat down by the bcd. There si
sat for nearly three hours.
Judge-Advocate General Swain
! who has been with President Garfiel
continuously since he was shot and wh
! was the only one with the President :
the time of his fatal seizure, gives th
: following description of the deathbc
; scene :
? "It was my night to watch with th
j President. I had been with him
j good deal of the time from 3 o'clocl
j in the afternoon. A few minutes befor
! 10 o'clock I left Col. Rockwell, wit
j whom I had been talking for some min
! utes iu the lower-ball, and proceede
! up stairs to the Presider's room. 0;
j entering, I fouud Mrs. Garfield sittin?
! by his bedside ; there were no ofche
I persous in the room. I paid to her
j 'How is everything going V She ro
j plied: 'He is sleeping nicely.' I thei
j said : 'You had better go to bcd an<
I rest.7 I asked her what had been pre
! scribed for him to take during the night
j She replied that she did notkuow : tha
j she had given him milk punch at i
j o'clock. ? then said : *If you will wai
i a moment I will go into the doctor'?
j room and sec what is to bc given during
j the night.'' She then said: There ?
! beef tea down stairs ; Daniel know.?
I where to get it.' I then weut into thc
i doctor's room. ? found Dr. Bliss there,
j and asked him what was to be giver
' during the night. Ee answered : 1
! think I had letter tis up a list, and
! will bring it in to you pretty soon.' 1
: then went back into the surgeon's,
: room, and had some little conversation
with Mrs. - Garfield. She felt of thc
I President's hand and laid her hand on
i his forehead, and said : 'lie seems to'be
'. In a good condition,' aud passed out ol
j the room. I immediately felt his hands,
j feet, and knees. I thought that his
; knees seemed a little cool, and got a
j flannel cloth, heated it at thc fire, and
! laid it over his limbs. I also heated
j another cloth and laid over his right
j hand, and then sat down in a chair be?
dside his bed.
I was hardly seated when Dr. Boynton
! came in and felt thc President's pulse.
? ? asked him how it seemed to him He
j replied : 'Its uot as strong as it was this
j afternoon, but very good.' I said: 'He
j seems to be doing well.' 'Yes,' he an
! swered, and passed out. Ile was not in
. the room more than two minutes,
j Shortly ufter this the President awoke,
j As he turned his head on awaking I
I arose and took hold of his hand. I was
j on the left-hand side of the bed as he
I lay. ? remarked, 'You have had a
! nice, comfortable sleep.' Ile theo said :
:'Oh, Swaim, this terrible pain,' placing
: his r:??ht hand over the region of the
: heart. I asked him if I could do any
! thing for him. Ile said : 'Some water !'
j I went to the other side of the room,
' and poured about an ounce and a half of
! water into a glass and gave him to drink.
: He took thc glass in his hand, ? raising
; his head as usual, and drank the water
?very uaturally. ? then handed the
; glass to the colored man Daniel, who
: came ia during the time ? was getting
: the water. Afterward I took a napkin
; and wip<;d his forehead, as he usually
j perspired on awaking. Ho then said:
I 'Oh, Swaim, this terrible nain I Press
1 your hand on it ' I laid my had on his
j chest. He then threw both hands up to
; the side, and about ou a line with his
: head, aud exclaimed: 'Oh, Swaim, calf t
.you stop this?' and again, 'Oh, Swaim !'
' { then saw him looking at mc with a
i staring expression. I asked him if he
I was suffering much pain. Receiving
! no answer I repeated tho question, with ;
iikc result. I then concluded that he
was either dying or was having asevere
spasm, and called to Daniel, who was a
the door, to tell Dr. Bliss and Mrs.
Garfield to come in immediately, and
glanced at the small clock hanging on
the chandelier nearly over the foot of
his bed, and saw that it was ten min?
utes past 10 o'clock. I told Daniel to
bring the light-a lighted candle which
habitually sat behind a screen near the
door. When the light shone full on
his face I saw that he was dying.
When Dr. Bliss came in a moment after
I said, 'Doctor, have you any stimu?
lant? He seems to be dvins: ?? Dr. Bliss
took hold of his wrist, as if feeling for
his pulse, and said, 'Yes, he is dying.'
I then said to Daniel, 'Run and arouse
the house.' At that moment Col. Rock?
well came in, when Dr. Bliss said, 'Let
us rub his limbs,' which wc did. In a!
very few moments Mrs. Garfield came
in and said, 'What docs this mean V
and a moment after exclaimed, 'Oh, J
why am I made to suffer this great
wrong?' At lfij P. M. the sacrifice
was completed. He breathed his last
calmly and peacefully.
At the final moment the following
persons were present : Mrs. Garfield
and Mollie, Drs. Bliss, Agnew, and
Boynton, Gen. Swaim, Col. and Mrs.
Rockwell, J. Stanly Brown, C. 0.
Rockwell and Daniel spriggs.
Mrs. Garfield is said to bear up
against her affliction with great forti?
tude. A report that she was ill is con?
tradicted by Dr. Boynton.
Many telegrams of sympathy ^have
been received by Mrs. Garfield.
TUB BALL UNEXPECTEDLY FOUND IN THE
LEFT SIDE EA CK OF THE HEART.
LONG BK AN cn, Sept. 20.-Dr. Bliss
came into thc hotel as seen as ho had
signed the official report cf the autopsy.
He was at once surrounded by ?Le i
correspondents and guests of the hotel.
'What is its purport, Doctor V
'The bullet entered the right side,
passed through the spongy part of the
vertebra, and lodged in the left side,
where we found it completely encysted.
lt was but slightly blunted at the point
from striking thc rib. What wc had
probed for along the track of the wound
was in fact a pus cavity, which had
made its way down from the wound
The liver was untouched, but enlarged.
But here comes thc bulletin itself. Its
language is as popular as possible.'
The oulletin was then received, a
page at a time, and read aloud. Dr.
Hamilton stood by aud listened. Dr.
Bliss had left thc room. Exclamations
of surprise were uttered at thc revela?
tions as to the location of thc ball, which
was faraway from the spot where it had
.been previously located by thc surgeons
Dr. Hamilton said: 'That which had
beeu taken for the ball in the groin was
the ead cf the long pus cavity, which
we had supposed was thc track of the
wound.' At that end it was a hard
lump of pus which we took for the ball.
The doctors say the President could not
possibly have recovered.
The following is thc official bulletin
issued at ll o'clock : - J
"By previous arrangement a post
mortem examination of the body of
President Garfield was made this after?
noon in the presence and with the assist?
ance of Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss,
Barnes, Woodward, Reyburn, Andrew
HT Smith of Biberon, and Acting As?
sistant/Surgeon D. S. Lamb of the
Army Medical Museum, Washington.
The operation was performed by Dr.
Lamb. It was found that the ball, after
fracturing the right eleventh rib, had
cassed through the spinal column in
frout of the spinal canal, fracturing the
body vf the first lumbar vertebrae, driv?
ing a number pf smsl! fragments of bone
into the adjacent soft parts, and lodg?
ing below thc pancreas, about two
inches and a half to the left of the spiue,
and behind the peritoneum, where il |
had become completely encysted. The I
immediate cause of death was secondary !
hemorrhage from one of the mesentric
arteries adjoining the track of the ball,
the blood rupturing the peritoneum, and
larly a pint escaping iuto the abdomi- j
uai cavity. This hemorrhage is be-1
lieved Lo have beeu the cause ef the
severe paiu in thc lower part of the
chest complained of just before death."
"An abscess cavity six inches by
four ia diameter was found in the vicin?
ity of the gall bladder between thc liver
and the transverse colon, which were
strongly adherent, it did not involve
thc substance of the liver, and no com?
munication was found between it and
tho wound. A long supplementary
channel extended from thc external
tfouud between the loin musel?s and
the right kidney almost to the right
groin. This channel, now known to bo
due to the burrowing of pus from the
wound, was supposed during life to
have beca thc track of the ball.
"On examination of the organs of
the chest evidences of severe broncbiii>
were found on both sides, with broncho
pneumonia oi the lower portion of the
right lung, and, though to a much less
extent, of the left. The lungs contain?
ed no abscesses, and the heart no clots.
Thc liver was enlarged and fatty -but
free from abscesses. Nor were any found
in any other organ except the left kid?
ney, which contained near its surface a
small abscess about one-third of ;tu inch
iu diameter.'
"In Reviewing thc history of thc case
in connection with thc autopsy, it is
quite evident thal tito different suppu?
rating surfaces, and especially the frac?
tured, spongy tissue of tho vertebra-,
furnish a su?leient explanation of the
sepile condition which existed.

Eu;KI:ox. September 21 -Dr. Bliss
stated at a l ite hour last night that the
autopsy had b'.'cn very tedious, and thc
time occupied m scare hil;;: for the ball
alone was nearly three-quarters of an
hour. In reply to an inquiry, Dr.
Bliss said that since tho conclusion of
the autopsy Mrs. Garfield was feeling
much relieved, as it established the fact
chat thc patient's dvalli wits inevitable.
Ho stated, further, that, the point of the
ball was somewhat blunt or in a batter?
ed con di iii rn, caused by tho force by
which it struck thc rib. P.; other re?
spects its original shape was not altered.

Notwithstanding this fact tho crowds

three days ago. Kt!! particular* of t he ]
situation were t?:i'egr:tp!ieu with thc !
grcatrstreguiarityt'? fri's ads in Solon.
Since Cha.? :iato only meagre dor-patches
were sent, and the suspense of thc
household can only bc imagined. Ou
Monday evening tho only despatch re?
ceived reached Solon ellice at Gi. and
was i'::smediatciy delivered. Puring all
these days of suspense, since duly 2 the
mother of the President remained hope?
ful. She li ad faith that, her son would '
be spared. Mrs. Lamboo, his sister, j
on the contrary, has had a feeling of:
discouragement and fear from thc first, i
uveii on tho day winni lie left Mentor, !
she sa\s, her . :>? was lilied with I
vague forebodings .-he could not drive .
away. As Gen. Garfield went about
his farm giving things a farewell look,
she felt a presentiment that it was a long
good-bye. Thc cirect of this telegram
was reassuring, however, and Mrs. Gar?
field retired with feelings of quiet cheer?
fulness. Inuring thc day she had been
constantly busying herself about thc
house. Mrs. Larahoc besought her not
to do any work.
'Mother,' she said, 'you will only
worry yourself.'
'Oh. no,' replier] thc old lady; *if I
am active I sha li bc abie to sleep better.'
Uer exhaustion, occasioned by lack
of rest the two nights previous, induced
sound sleep. At 5 o'clock Tuesday
morning the village bell tolled ; at 6
o'clock came thc following private tele?
gram :
ELUEROX, X. J , Sept. IO.
To Mrs. Eliza Garfield:
James died this evening at 10.35.
He calmly breathed his life away.
D. G. SWAIM.
Mrs. Larabec's first thought was of
her mother. The latter was sleeping
calmly, and they did not wake her.
Not until 8 o'clock did the old lady
awaken, having slept constantly since
ll P. M. Mrs. Larabec passed her
door with a heavy heart, and found her
dressed and engrged :n reading thc
Bible. It was thought best not to
break thc news until Mrs. Garfield had
breakfasted. The old lady did not in?
sist up?u hearing ihe news until the
meal was finished. Then, taking the
telegram from the shelf, she '.vas about
to read, but Miss Ellen took it from her
trembling hands.
'Grandma.' she said, 'would you be
surprised to get Lad news ibis morning ?'
'Why, I don't know,' said the old
lady.
.Well, I should not,' said Mrs. Lara
bee, 'I have been fearing and expecting
it all thc morning.'
'Grandma,' said Ellen,'there is bad
news/
'Is he dead ?' asked thc old lady tre?
mulously.
'Ile is.'
Thc quick tears started in the sensi?
tive eyes, There was ho violent par
osysm of grief. 'Is it true V she asked,
with quivering lips. 'Then the Lord
help mc, for if he is dead what shall I
do ?' She was made weak aud a little
nervous by the announcement, and was
obliged once or twice to go to her room,
but she was not co?tent to remain there,
and soon returned to the sitting room.
About half past nine o'clock Mrs.
Garfield was found sitting in a rocking
chair waiting for news. The morning
paper she read with eagerness. 'It can?
not be that James is dead,' she said.
.I cannot understand it. I have no
further wish to live, and I cannot live
if it is rc' Although her general health
is good at present, many fear that her
words are prophetic, and Mrs. Larabee
dares not hope otherwise herself.
Mrs. Mehitabel Trowbridge, the re?
maining sister of Gen. Garfield, was
also notified of his death this morning.
Having been sick for several weeks, it
was feared that this blow might pros?
trate her, but she bears up better than
r.;igkt be expected. Both of the sisters
appear more unnerved than the aged
mother herself. The latter will be 80
voa rs old to-morrow.

dent is living near Grand Rapids, Mich.

RICHMOUND'S MYSTERY'

A Deautiful Young Widow Suddenly Ifig
appears-Foul Play Suspected.
RicnsroxD YA. September 7.-Thc
tiagic and mysterious death of pretty
Jennie Cramer lias found a counter?
part in Virginia, The victim in this:
case is a beautiful young; widow,
whose charms have often been the
theme of praise in the County in
which she lived. She has been miss-,
ii g since August 15th. At first ber
absence did not create more than,
slight uneasiness, but now, as slight
clews are being gained toward unrav?
elling the mystery excitement aB#
interest is at fever heat. Mrs. B.
M. Harvey, thc missing widow, was
about 36 years of *gc, and had been
married twice, her husband being the
son of Robert Harvey, a celebrated'
Brazilian railroad contractor. lier
last hus:band died about six weeks
ago in Ashland, Kentucky. About
two weeks ago a letter written to her
from a relative here was : ^turned
unopened. This created uneasiness
and a telegram was sent to West'
Point, ?ear which place she lived/
asking her whereabouts. The an?
swer caine by wire :
"Mis. Harvey is suppossed to fcav?
gone to Kentucky to look after some
property left by her late husband, but
.nothing definite is known of her.
She certainly went from here to Rich?
mond on the train.''"
Her relatives in Richmond were
positive that she had ii? t come to this
city, and therefore went to West
Point to i nvestigate the matter. They
learned that the widow had indicated
her purpose to visit her daughter"
here, and had left home w'rtfe lier*
cousin, Mr. Edward Slater. Mrs"
Harvey liad a fine plantation near
Burnt Ordinary, upon which was a
store. When she left she had $500
with which to pay some bills in the
city. The investigation showed thai
she left home in a buggy with Mr.'
Slater. He said, when questioned,
that he left her about a halfmile front
, West Point, and that sl>e walked the'
remainder of the distance? From'
Mrs. Harvey's country seat to West
Point is about twelve miles. She
was seen and recognized by a black?
smith at Burtonsvillc, a small village
on the road, and at thc time she was
in the buggy with Mr. Slater. She
. sai l she had to cross the Mattaponr
river before she reached West Point,
but the negro ferrymen have been un
: able to give any explanation as to he?
: whcrcabo&ts. Rumors of a lady
? deeply veiled leaving West Point on*
a steamer for New York have been
. exploded, and the conductors on the
thc train to Richmond say Mrs.'
Harvey did not get on there/
Other persons have been seen who'
thought they saw a lady answering
her description at the West Point
Hotel, but itere again the link has
I been lost. It is understood that the
detectives will arrest a party to-roor
row who, it is thought, will throw"
some light upon thc nrystery.
