creek's wendkhfuE career.
The Remance erills Courtship Hts War
Roeord and Indian Fighting.
The late General Creek distinguished
himself before the war in dealing with the
Pitt River Indians of California, and by
his skill and courage opened a large and
fortlle tract of country te safe settlement.
His first striking oxplelt during the war
was a successful attack upon a rebel camp
at Louisburg, West Virginia, and be was
seen entrusted with important commands,
serving with ability and zeal. While he
was at Cumberland, Md.. assisting General
Kelly in organizing regiments and defend
ing the state of West Virginia from Inva
sion, the proprietor of the hotel where they
lived was Jehu Dal ley, who was also pre-
rieter of Glades hotel, at Oakland, Md., a
anieus ceuntrr report. Mr. Dallev had
two daughters, the eldest of whom, Miss
Mary, was a charming and pretty girl.
She had Southern sympathies, for her
mother was n member of a .wealthy and
nrlable old Virginia family.
During Creek's stay he was much at
tracted by the young lady, but slie refused
te be gracious te tee Yaukee officer, al
though at heart Bhe liked him.
(The eldestpn, James, took offense at
i. .-perarst.ji. ur.u open attentions or uroeK
te hisjfster,
efaVeJKilfty
blmnr, and
and finally organized a band
young and darine sDlrits like
and daw that thnv wern wnll
mnuntedvsnd armed. When everything
was ready about a dozen of Daily's band
crepe into me netel after midnight, seized
Generals Kelly and Creek, gagged them
and in a few mementa they were all en
the? way ;te Richmond. Afterward they
wera exchanged.
Creek went Inte active service and was
badly wounded. lie was sent te Oakland
with ether wounded officers and, slngu-larlje-nneugh,
was quartered at the Glades
hetrtf Mlss Mary then showed her true
feel 1. and nursed her brother's late cap
live through what was thought te be a fatal
Illness. When he recovered he proposed
- but was refused, her political sentiments
being still In the ascendant. Creek per
' elsted and was finally successful. The
general has be.cn very nappy in his married
life, although no children were born te
u- him. -
General Sberldau was a great admirer of
Creek, and cheese him te command the
Eighth corps, where he amply fulfilled ex
pectations. In March and April of 1805,
no commanded the cavalry of the army of
the Potomac. But he Is best known te-dav
as the conqueror of the Apache.,hardy anil
bloody savages who occupied a territory
two hundred miles square and numbered
some twenty thousand, divided into a
dozen or mere bands.
The Indians showed n most desperate
front, lighting with great skill and bravery
till May, 1873, when they were force-A te
surrender. In 1875 he was ordered tot ell
the disturbances In the Sioux and Cheenne
nations In the Nerthwuev and defeated
these Indians in the battles of Powder
River, Tongue River nnd the Rosebud.
Then the embittered savages massed
their forces under the lead of Sitting Bull
and succeeded in crushing Custer. Creek,
however, struck-the-bestlles a heavy blew
at Shin Duties, Dak,, and followed it up
with such relentless vigor that in Mav,1877,
all the hostile tribes In the Northwest had
yielded.
General Creek was sent back te Arizona
in 1882. There he forced the Mormons,
squatters, miners and stock raisers te
vacate the Indian lands en which they bad
seized, encouraged the Apaches in planting
and pledged thetti the protection of the
government. In the spring of 18S3 the
Chirlcahuas began a series of raids from
the mountain fastness en the Northern
Mexican boundary. General Creek struck
their trail, and Instead of following them
traced It backward te their strongholds,
and as fast as the bucks returned from
their plundering excursions inade them
prisoners. He marched ever two hundred
miles, made four hundred prisoners and
secured all the horses and plunder.
During the two years following General
Creek had sole cbarge of the Indians, and
iu that time no depredation occurred. He
set them all at work en their farms, and
under bis wlse care the tribes became self
supporting. In May, 1885, a band of about
fifty desperate Apaches, led by Geronlme,
escaped from Sun Carles reservation und
began a scries of raids. They were
promptly pursued bv Creek's forces.
Ten of them were killed, some twenty
of thorn escaped into Mexico aud ten
were yet raiding at the end of December.
After a most desperate chase Goreuimo
and his nine companions were captured in
, February. General Creek was then given
the command of the department of the
Platte, and in 18SS succeeded Geueral Terry
in command of the division of the Mis
souri. Ilia Death Officially Announced.
Wasiiinoiew, March 22. The secretary
of war te-day issued an order te the army
announcing the deith of Gen. Creek, in
which be recites the gallant services of the
deceased and expresses his appreciation
of the great less sustained by the setvlce.

KATE BAUMGARDNER IN COURT.
The Court Postpones Sentence and Re-
.tnands Her te Jail.
Kate Baulngarduer, convicted of adultery,
who was brought from Philadelphia en a
process issued by the court, was called for
sentence this morning. In response te the
questions of Judge Patterson she said she
was 20 years old ; had been married three
years, but never lived with her husband; he
frequently beat her and because she prose
cuted him for Ill-treating and abusing her
be caused this complaint te be made against
her. She denied her guilt. Ever since
nor marriage her husband iias annoyed
her, and bad her discharged from numer
ous places, where she was earning an
honest living, because she would net asso
ciate with men be had selected for
her. As te her running away te
avoid sentence she said she went
te Philadelphia and Intended te return en
the day ahe was arrested. Her story made
an impression en the court and it was
decided net te sentence her until further
Inquiry could be made and she was re
manded te jail for sentence.
After leaving the court room Kate was

seized with hysterics, and it was several
minutes before she recovered sufficiently

EXCITING RUMORS IN BRAZIL.,
The Dictatorship Expected te be Con Cen
tlnued Five Tears Lenjrer.
The air in Rie de Janeiro is alive with
rumors. People are saying new that it
is the intention of the previsional gov
ernment te annul the decree convok
ing the Constituent Assembiy and te
prolong the dictatorship for five years.
At a dinner giveu seme days
age te Iho ex-minlster of agriculture
the mfnlster of war took occasion te allude
te this report. The people of Brazil, be
said, should be mero grateful and net In
sult the government and the army by cir
culating such rumors. Neither in the gov
ernment nor In the army was there any
one who desired the baneful supremacy of
the sword. What the members of Uie gov
ernment most earnestly deslred was te
return as seen as possible te private life.
Offlne has no charms for them, and as te
himself there, was no inducement that
would be sufficient te reconcile htm te re
maining. The many reports in circulation in re
gard te the boundary treaty with the
Argentine Republic bave caused the gov
ernment te publish an article en the sub
ject In the official paper. This article de
precates all discussion of the question at
present as premature, since the terms of
the treaty have net yet been made known,
and states that all apprehensions in regard
te these terms are groundless,since the gov
ernment has a full sense of Its responsi
bility iu se. important a quostlen. Besides
the treaty, before becoming operative, has
te be ratified by the legislative assemblies
of the two countries. If it is net ratified
the boundary question will be settled by
arbitration and the president of the United
States will be requested te act as arbitra
tor. Hereditary Representation te Remain.
Iu the Heuse of Commens Friday even
ing Mr. Labeucbere moved the abolition of
hereditary representatives in Parliament.
He reminded the Uouae that democracy
had become a reality. Hereditary peers,
he said, were in fatal and eternal an
tagonism with democracy. The peeple
would net long tolerate the idea of soveral
hundreds of men born with the privilege
te interfere with the government and te
loglslate as a class. The Heuse had the
spectacle before It of men excluded from
the Jockey club aud warned off the race
courses, and yet were able te Interfere with
the legislation of the nation.
Llewellyn Jenes (Liberal) seconded the
motion. It was a moderate proposal, he
said. It did net aim te abolish the Houseof
Lords, but enl te modify it in accerdance
with the spirit and requirements of the
times.
After a further brief debate the motion
was rejected 201 te 139.
Nobody Wants Te Own It.
Some ene star ted a report that A.C. Leon Leen
ard, who Is a candidate for a county office,
was a member of the se called Law and
Order soclety. Mr. Leenard wants It dis
tinctly understood that he has no connec
tion with an organization of that kind, and
be thinks that the recent obnoxious prose
cution called forth general condemnation.
Although in favor of the observance of the
law Mr. Leenard does net bellove in the
methods of this queer society.

morning. At that hour agreements were

Washington club retire from the league.
The Indianapolis players wilt be trans

THE ACTIVK'WIADMITTED.
Lancaster's Clnb Elected Members of
the Inter-Statw League,
Geerge Goedbart, manager of the Active
base ball club, te-day received a telegram
from W. H. Voltz, president of the Inter
state League, stating that the Active club
had been unanimously elected a member
of that body.
The manager has arranged te play his
games en the park grounds, and he has
signed the following players: Hagey,
Traub, Snyder and Davis, pitchers, (the
last named formerly played wttli Norris
town and West Chester); Glelm, first base;
Misblnr, second base; Klein, third base;
T. roedhart, short step and captain ; Hos Hes
tetttv,left field and change pitcher ; Shlndle,
centre field ; and ene or the pitchers will
play right. Manager Goedbart la new
looking for catchers.
Tbere is no reason why this club should
net be lqode te pay, as it is net expensive
and can play ball. Geerge Goedbart has
been in the show business and Is a hustling
manager. His players are all ready te
stand by bltn and de geed work, and If
they make a creditable showing in the
league the peeple will be with them also.
BIG PENSION FIGURES.
A M' iest 0 18,000,000 for the Prof psed
Service Pension Law Suggeste ,.
The Heuse went into committee of the
whole en the pension appropriation bill
immediately after the rekdtng of the Jour
nal en Friday. Mr. Chnulle (Ind.) spoke
at length in favor or a service pension law.
and explained the previsions or a bill
authorizing a service pension for life
te every veteran ever 50 years or
age who served sixty days and
was honorably discharged. He wanted
the service ponsieti granted as a
badge or distinction for potrletlo ser
vice. The total ex pense of a service pen
sion law would net oxceol $018,000,000.
The additional pension oxiienso, should
this bill become a law, for the uext fiscal
year would net exceed $11,000,000. The
country stands face te face with a golden
opportunity te redeem its pledges. He
would oppose every material reduction of
the revenue except upon sugar, and every
material revision of the tariff and revenue
schedules until bis comrades shall have re
ceived the ponslen recognition premised
them.
Here followed a running debate, partici
pated In by Messrs. Clements (Ga.), Merris
(Cal.), Breckinridge (Ky.), and Merrow,
during which Mr. Clements inquired
whether the $98,500,000 carried iu the bill
would be sufficient for the uext fiscal year.
Mr. Merrow re piled that within any new
laws the sum would be Inadequate, and
there would be a large deficiency.
Mr. Clements said that he hud seen a
letter in seme paper from the president el
the Farmers' Alliance of Kansas which
stated that tbe fallen herpes could afford te
wait a moment until the rights or living
herees roceive some recognition, 'no did
net oppose Just and liberal pensions. He
objected te appropriating less meney than
the administration knew would be neccos necces
sary te pay the pensions for the next year.
Mr. Splnela suggested that u Democratic
Congress hud passed the arrears bill and
tbe bill increasing the pensions of widows
from $9 te 12 per month. Frem this point
the discussion drifted Inte prohibition aud
then back again, and finally, at 5 o'clock,
the Heuse took a recess until 8 o'clock, the
evening session being for the consideration
of prlvate pension bills.
The Heuse committee en pensions esti
mates the number of survivors of the
Union Army at 1,200,000, and that the aver
age age of the surviving soldiers is uew 53
years, se that In eleven years all will be 62
years old, and In thirty-ene jearsall the
soldiers will be dead. Tills estimate is
based upon the ages of 141,000 members of
a large number of regiments. A number
of the committee has compiled a statement
of a semi-official character giving an out eut eut
line of the bills that have tlie approval of
the committee and that will be pressed In
the Heuse, with the ostlmnted sums neces
sary te carry thorn out. The statement Is
as follews:
Tbe service bill This propesos te pen
sion all who served nln,ety days or ever at
$8 per month as seen as the soldier bo be bo
ceiues 62 years of age. It is similar te the
Mexlcan pension law. This will take
$12,000,000, us it Is estimated that there are
200,000 who are new 02 years old, but that
75,000 of tliese are new en the pension roll,
leaving 125,000 te be benefitted by this bill.
The dependent bill This will ponslen
all under C2 years who can either show
disability or Inability te earn a living, re
gardless of cause, at $8 per month. This
will take $20,000,000.
The widows' bill Te enslen alt widows
of soldiers regardless of the cause of the
soldier's death if they are dependent upon
their own manual labor for support. 'Ill Is
will take $8,000,000.
Priseners of war. This provide! for a
per deiin of $2 while the soldier was In

under the prisoners' bill, $7,500,000. Total
increase, $17,500,000; present pensions, $98,

LANCASTER PA., SATURDAY,
PAKNELLrCK ATTACKED.
Salisbury's Speech Oa Mis Motion
te
Adept the CemmlssJea'a Repert.
The Marquis of Salisbury moved In the
Heuse of Lords en Friday that the report
of the Parnell commission be approved.
He referred te Mr. O'Brien's statement
before the commission In whleh he with
drew the aorusatlens against Lord Spencer
while viceroy, but maintained them against
his subordinates. This form of withdrawal,
said the premier, was an atrocious imputa
tion en Lord Spencer, suggesting his read I-
nesn,te put ou me sneurasrs or nis suo sue suo
erdlnates the defamation leveled at him
self. The Parnellltes congratulated them
selves upon being found net guilty en
certain charges, but there was evidence te
show that the Parnellltes In Parliament
were ready te make use of crimes com
mitted by Parnellltes outside of Parlia
ment. The Irish Parliamentary party had
their hands en the throttle valve of crime
"Heart hear I'M snd let go or restrained
criminality as their political necessities
required.
Hew could the country sssent te com
mitting the government of Ireland te men
thus linked with criminality and immor
ality T The commission had laid bare and
Indicated the spirit of these aspiring gover
nors of Ireland. It would be a pitiful pros
pect lr an industrious community, espe
cially that of the prosperous Protestant sec
tion, which through geed and evil report
had clung te England, were handed ever te
such men.
Here were men whose political objects
were systematically pursued bv means
leading te outrageand murder, and thelr
political career ought te warn tee country

adherents of tbe crown If ever tfecae crimi
nal conspirators get control of Ireland.
Cheers. The Heuse owed thanks te tbe
commission for Its imart!al oxpesuro of
this episode In the history of Ireland.
Baren Hershell attacked the one-sided
character of Lord Salisbury's ripeech in
referring only te the charges- en which the
Parneliltes were found guilty and emitting
mention of the graver charges en which
they were acquitted. The government, he
said, had constituted a new court, creating
it by political means, te try political oppo
nents, and even this court had been con
strained te clear the Parnellltes en all but
charges en which the government did net
dare te Invoke the Infllotlens or a practical
penalty.
Lord Ktmberly said that the whole case
was pivoted upon the forgeries, aud it was
only Just te record that the charges based
thereon had collapsed. He thought Lord
Salisbury lacked generosity, and cruelly
treated a man whom he considered fit te
make a political alliance with In 1885. Lord
Spencer said he would venture te say that
the commission would never have been
appointed but for the forgeries. The mo
tion of Lord Salisbury placed tbe Heuse In
a dilemma. It must blindly soeopt the
report or act as a court or appeals. The
first ceurse was an unworthy ene, and
the second Imposslble without entering
into political mat ters, which would place
many transactions In a very different light
The lord chancellor here denied that the
government bad instigated tbe charges
against the Parnellltes.
Lord Granville reproached the govern
ment for leaving the burden of the debate
te Unionist peers whom he congratulated
en their chivalry In defending ene of tbe
least defensible acts of the government.
Lord Salisbury's motion was adopted
without a division.
CASH AND CHRISTIANITY.
A Growl Frem a Persen Who Admires
Pennies.
Editors Intellkiknckb : I write te
growl about tbe quality or religion served
te the great number or geed women and
small number or geed, doubtful or damn
able men who build " a pyramid of pen
nies" en the plates en Sundays. The
clergy have no right te complain of the
penni03, because they usually furnish a
cheap quality of the religious stimulant
which we go te church te get. There are
some very goed,mon who devete them
selves entirely te their profession, and
preach geed sermons aud lead oxempiary
lives. Tliese preachers hetp along the
right kind of religion, aud If they also col
lect pennies that Is no sign that they are
net valued by the community. Rollglen
thrives without regard te money. Yeu
cau net measure the goodness of people by
the cash you soe thorn put in the church
plate. If a congregation is kept in a
healthy state It will net need te clamor for
funds. The peer are the most numerous,
and therefore the most desirable element
of the congregation, but lr you try te raise
the average contribution te the collection,
you discourage tbe peer. A cent is a llttle
thing, but If you want te tide In a street
car and only have four cents the missing
cent is quite large eneugh.

Johnstown Again Threatened.
A Johnstown, Pa., special says: Quite a
serious flood threatens the lower portions
of the city. The rivers have been rising
ene root an hour since 3 o'clock this after
noon, and as tiie snow has been melting
fast all day, a heavy volume or water is
expected. The water rose rapidly between
7 and 9 o'clock Friday night, and at the

Stattstlean Dedge's Opinion.
Statistician J. R. Dedge reports te the
agricultural dopartment that the prevailing
depression in the farm product markels,nei
only In Amerlca, but throughout ths
world, Is due te ever production. Hesdds
that this Is exceptionally and particularly
true or Great Britain. He says of tbe
American farmer: "Though prices of
implements, utensils and fabrics are
also low, tbe farmer's Interest account is
unreduced, and his mortgage harder te lift.
Speculation first and utilization afterward
have produced results that have astonished
the world with a plethora of bread and
meat. Wbeat growing has become a phil
anthropic mission te make cheap bread
consistent with low wages In Great Bri
tain. The Northwestern missionaries con
tinue sewing their seed and floating thelr
br'v.d across the waters, mourning for the
profits that de net return after many days.
" There are Imports costing $240,000,000
per annum of agricultural products which
should be produced here, These are
sugar, animals and thelr products, fibres,
fruits and nuts, barley, leaf tobacco ana
wines. There Is tee narrow a range of
cropping. Diversification is essential te
agricultural salvation."
It is suggosted that farmers may be com
pelled te retail thelr own fruits and vege
tables, sell thelr own meats, and manufac
ture Uielr own flour.

A GIRL'S TRAGIC END.
While With Iter Lever She Is Shet By
Accident or Design.
Clad in the whlte robes of death, the
body of Oortle lllskey lies Inn coffin at a
llttle home In the tillage of Leblghten,
Carben county. Pa. Locked in a cell in
the town Jail and charged with murder is
Webster H. Campbell. The prisoner Is 10
years or age, snd the girl, whose heart-bests
were stepped by a bullet, was Just enter
ing that year when she fell mortally
wounded by her youthful levor.
The tragedy occurred Thursday night at
Lohlghteu. Gertie's levor, the son of n
storekeeper at Welsspert, visited her st 7
o'clock Thursday ovenlng, at the home of
her mether. Mrs. Lav-inn Summit, and
spent the evening with lier.
About midnight Lafuyelte Schech and
Jehn Walters, who were a block away
going te thelr homes, were attracted te
Mrs. Summit's house by a pistol shot and
the screams of a woman. They round
Campbell with a rovelvor Iu his hand, te.,
chambers or which were empty. ""
He told the men Hint the revolver fell
when he took it from the table, as he was
about te put It In bis pocket, and it was dis
charged, the bullet passing through Gertte's
head and 'killing her Instantly. Ne ene
was in the room st the lime ofthe sheeting
but Campbell and the girl, Mrs. Summit
and her crippled daughter being asleep iu
an adjoining room.
Te a reperter Campbell said the weapon
belonged te his father, and Thursday was
the first tlme he carried It, It Is a five
shot, 32-callbre Smith A Wessen rovelvor.
Campbell was held at the heuse until Con Cen
stablo Itawertby arrived and took him.
Coronet Buck, of Wcatherly, held an in
quest, and the jury en Friday aftorueon
rendered a verdict that Gertle lllskey came
te her death from n pistol shot wound at
the hands or Webster Campbell. After
the verdict Campbell was taken te the
Mauch Chunk Jail and lecked up te await n
hearing.
The dead girl was quite pretty. She had
dsrk hair and oyes and a handsome fuoe.
She was unusually large and well devel
oped for her age. She was of a lively dis
position and was favorably kuewu te the
restdents of the town.
While some think the slinetlnir wni ,vl.
detital, thorn Is a strong suspicion that
Campbell deliberately shot tbe girl. The
(act that he admits havlnir carried the nls-
tel for the first time that night Is the strong
est point in support of thatthoery.
The story or hew these two fell In love Is
sn interesting one. Yeung Campbell last
fall was taken sick with typhoid rover, and
while he was 111 ene of his visitors wea
pretty llttle Oortle lllskey. When tbe boy
wassble te be down stairs the girl called
mere frequently, and was at the beuse
almost dally; and wtef 'lis health was
restored these vlsltswj.e returned. The
visits seen ripened into a love which at
tracted the attention of all neighbors.
What, then, oeuld have glveu rlse te that
scene Thursday night T When her mother
arrived upon the soene the girl's limbs
were twitching convulsively, and bleed
was oozing from the bodice of her dress.
As the mother ontered the room, se did
?eung Campbell. Tearing epen the waist,
he frantle mother saw a small wound en
her child's fair breast, and from It
trickled drops of a crimson color. She
bent down.
"Mamma mamma I am dying I I
I." There was a gasp ; ths llttle form
ley still t the lips tbe mother touched worn
growing cold; (he eyei were fixed, and
the glassy stare told that she was dead.
The constable subsequently explained
that be had seen Webster re-enter the
house after throwing something away.
That something he bad found te be a re
volver with two chsmtiera empty. Se the
lad was led away te Jail.
