tSrECIALTErEGEAM TO TUB DISPATCH. J
"Washington, March 10. No greater
contrast between two days could be imag
ined than between last Sunday and to-day.
A profound calm appeared to have settled
even en the most active of the politicians.
It was known that a large batch of nomina
tions would probably be sent into the Sen
ate to-morrow, and there was a lull in the
wire-pulling, that some indication might be
got of the way the cat has jumped in the
higher offices, that better knowledge of the
effort necessary to rake in the lower ones
might be gained. The bar-rooms were tight
closed, the hotel lobbies were as quiet as at
ordinary times and few of the celebrities
who have monopolized the prominent cor
ners since Monday could be seen.
The President had the first day of rest of
his term. He began to shut off the crowd of
visitors yesterday and gave notice that he
would receive no callers to-day.
Quay Removes Bis Doorbell.
Many of the Senators and members of the
House who are supposedto have -influence
with the President and who have therefore
been harassed by applicants for office, were
not' at home to callers. At the residence of
Senator Quay, heroic measures were taken
to preserve the proper solitude of Sunday,
ior to all but the earliest callers there was
apparently no means of attracting the at
tention of anyone in the house, as the knob
of the doorbell had been taken off and the
handle drawn within the hall so that it
could not be reached by the fingers of the
most persistent officeseeker unless he had
burglars' tools.
'As to the nominations that will be sent to
the Senate to-morrow, almost nothing is
known. It is supposed that they will be
mostly confined to the higher offices of the
departments, such as assistant secretaries,
solicitors, and so on. Corporal Tanner, of
Brooklyn, says his name will be sent in for
Pension Commissioner, but Fred ICneffler,
Pension Agent at Indianapolis, believes
that he will be nominated for the same
place, and that is about as near as one can
get to the situation in regard to any of the
offices.
A New Dent Expected.
It is not believed now that any of the old
assistant secretaries will be retained in their
positions, as there appears to be a strong
sentiment in favor of an entirely new deal,
and this will leave out such popular officials
and. candidates as Assistant Secretary Coon,
of the Treasury, who was supposed to have
an inside track for hisformer place, and of
General Hazen for Third Assistant of the
Postoffice Department. It is reported that
the former has been bowled out by Chair
man Huston, of the Republican State Com
mittee of Indiana, who has gone home ap
parently satisfied that he is fixed. It is
more likely, however, that he is booked for
the Treasuryship.
Pew Pennsylvanians were to be seen
about the hotels to-day. Representative
Fruit, of Sharon, member of the Stale Leg
islature, and Mr. George Pearson, of Mer
cer, private secretary of Governor Beaver,
are among the late arrivals who are here to
putin a word about offices for the western
part of the State. S. J. McKallip, qf Pitts
burg, a candidate for the office of Public
Printer, was the only applicant for office to
show up to-day from Allegheny county.
His application was filed a few days ago by.
Representative Dalzell. He has a highly
complimentary array of influential signa
tures. CEOSSED THE FIRST BRIDGE.

rSFECTAL TELEOBAX TO THE DISFATCH.l
"Washington, March 10. The New
Yorkers have crossed the first bridge. Gen
eral George S. Batcheller, of Saratoga, Re
publican leader -in the Assembly, and ad
herent of "Warner Miller, has been seleetcd
by the Piatt men for Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, and he will be'nominated to
morrow. The President wanted the Piatt
and Miller men to unite in recommending a
man, and Mr. Piatt and ?jator Hiscock
agreed that General Batch-ller would be a
very fair sort of representative Republican
for the place. " '
General Batcheller wanted a foreign
mission,' but there are other New Yorkers to
be sent abroad. Wjth Whitelaw Reid for
Minister to England, and Fred Grant for
Minister to China, two appointments that
are pretty well settled upon, New York's
6hare of foreign missions would be nearly
i allotted, and should Allen Thorndike Rice
,get the German mission, as his friends con-
iaaenuy expect, there certainly would be no
more good berths abroad for New York
men.
"William "Walter Phelps, of .New Jersey,
is to be Minister to France, unless there is a
change In the slate.
The union upon General Batcheller for
Assistant.Secretary of the Treasury will
prevent the return of Charles E. Coon, the
former Assistant Secretary, to his old post
Secretary "Windom favored his appointment,
but the Piatt people didn't want him be
cause, they said, he wasn't aggressive
enough. He will get another place in the
department.
The other Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr. Tichenor, Is credited to Illi
nois, and is recommended by business men
of Chicago, New York and Philadelphia,
but some of the Illinois politicians are not
pleased with bis selection, as it bars their
candidates for other offices, among them
Colonel Clarke Carr, who wanted to be
First Assistant Postmaster General. Carr
is knocked out, .and General Stevenson's
place, it is reported to-night, is to go to an
Ohio man, former Postmaster "Whitfield, of
Cincinnati.
It is generally believed that "Walker
Blaine will be nominated for First Assist
ant Secretary of State. He has been assist
ing his father in the work of the office dur
ing,the past week, and has evidently come
to stay.
EAELY APPOINTMENTS.
A New Superintendent ot the Railway Mall
Serrlco Needed at Once Who lie
May be Other Vacancies
Soon to be Filled. .
(SPECIAL TELECKAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
"Washington, March 10. One oi the
earliest oppointments to be made by Presi
dent Harrison will be that of General
Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service.
There are several applicants, and they have
received word, in an unofficial way, that
one of the first official acts of Postmaster.
General "Wanamaker will be the reorganiza
tion of this important branch of the Govern
ment work. The man with the most back
ing is Paul VanDervoort, of Omaha, ex-Commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of
the Republic He has, it is understood, the
indorsement of the delegations from
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan, in
addition to that of General Alger and many
prominent Grand Army men.
VanDervoort was formerly chief clerk
of the railway mail service, stationed at
Omaha. He was removed by Postmaster
General Gresham for alleged insubordina
tion and neglect of duty. VanDervoort's
friends say that his removal was an act of
great injustice, and that in view of the cir
cumstances it reflects no discredit on him.
His opponents, however, will make the besj
possible use of the letter of removal, which
is a long and somewhat severe one, and it
has already been brought to the attention
of Postmaster General "Wanamaker.
The man most prominently mentioned for
the appointment by people in the depart
ment is John Jameson, who was the General
Superintendent under the Arthur adminis
tration. After the Democrats came in,
Jameson was retained for more thon a year,
and then removed by Mr. Yilas without
even one day's leave of absence. Jameson
is formerly from "Wisconsin, bnt Know a
resident of New York city. He has. been in
"Washington for a week, and a few days ago
had a long talk with Postmaster General
"Wanamaker.
It-is absolutely necessary-that a General
Superintendent be appointed very soon, as
the present official, from motives of deli
cacy, has done nothing since March 4 but
the merest routine work, and the business
of the service is becoming badly delayed.
Next Friday, March 15, is the day fixed for
putting into effect the order placing the en
tire railway mail service, under the opera
tions of the civil service law, "but the order
will not be acted upon at present. The time
will be extended, probably to the end of the
fiscal year, to allow the President and Post
master General to reorganize the service,
which they think is badly demoralized.
The present Superintendent, "W. L. Ban
croft, is a Michigan Democrat, and has
from the first been violently opposed to
placing the bureau under the civil service
law. It is owing chiefly to his exertions
that the operation of the order of President
Cleveland has been several times postponed
and the Civil Service Commission prevented
from taking charge of the appointments.
The successor of Louis K. Church, Gov
ernor of Dakota, will be H. C. Mellette, a
Dakota man. The nomination will go iu
to-morrow. L. H. Hershfield will be nomi
nated for Governor of Montana in a day or
two.
A SAD LACK OF TASTE.
The Cheerless Condition of fhcWhllc House
Suggests a Needed Improvement.
ISrECIAL TZLEGIIAM TO THE DISrjLTCIt.l
Washington, March 10. A New York
society, woman, who visited the White House
yesterday for the first time, made this crit
icism: "There have been volumes written
about the necessity of a new Executive
Mansion, but leavinc that question for the
future to solve, there could be much done to
improve the interior of the present build
ing, which is furnished much after the
fashion of a hotel, though inferior in its
furnishings to some of the first-class hostel
ries, and has the same cold, chilly look that
one always finds in the parlors of even the
handsomest hotels. It seems strange and
beyond belief that withithe treasury burst
ing with money, and with the artistic
taste that we as a nation,possess above all
others, our President's home is permitted to
remain in its present cheerless state. With
the exception of a few mediocre portraits,
the walls are bare, and there is an entire
absence of bric-a-brac: in fact, the suit on
the first floor, to which the people are ad
mitted, has much the appearance of being
emptied of all portable objects, so that there
might be no temptation to the good citizens
of the United States to petty pilfering.
"The Executive Mansion, above all
other, buildings, should show the nation's
taste and refinement. Its walls could and
should be filled with beautiful paintings
and etchings, and handsome .tables and
cabinets should be loaded with bric-a-brac
on which no duty has been paid, because it
is the work of American hands. It might
not be a bad idea for each big city of the
Union to furnish a room with the" things
that each is especially noted for. if this is
the only way in which the home of the
President of "more than CO.000,000 people
can be made worthy of him and them."

Washington, March 10. President
Harrison has enjoyed his first day's rest
since the inauguration. He couldn't es
cape from the politicians last Sunday, but
to-day visitors haven't attempted to invade
the White House, and the inmates have
been left to themselves. The President and
Mrs. Harrison and Mr. and Mrs. Enssell
rHarrison attended service at tbe new Pres
byterian Church of the Covenant this morn-
ing. Their coming hadn't been announced,
and many members of thercong'regation
were not aware ot jtheir presence until the
service was ended. A pew had been re
served for the Harrisons near the center of
the church, on the middle aisle.
The pastor,, the Rev. Dr. Hamlin,
preached, from the text: "He that hath"
seen me hath seen the father." In hisopen?
ing prayer he invoked blessings on, the new
administration, and prayed that the people
might be. swifter to commend' than to criti
cise the Chief Magistrate. General Harri
son listened attentively to the sermon, and
joined in the congregational singing of
hymns.

to-night that Benjamin F. Butler, John A.

ment, and that they will be accompanied by

Between 4 and 5 o'clock r. Ji. tbe rebels,
beaten and defeated, fled on all sides, abandon

LaMarmelade on the 16th. Our troops, under
General Charles LaJeunesse, beat them off
after 12 hours' fighting;. The enemy, in their
flight, left on the field 17 ammunition boxes, 200
shells, (the French word is "capsules;" per
haps it means 200 percussion caps), 12 flags and
2 drums. Prud'hnmme Lecorps, commander
of the district of tbe Limbe, and Cameus
Vatae, ex-Superintendent of the arsenal there,
fell victims to their rashness. Two letter
books belonging to the insurgents fell into our
hands. Alfred William, one of the pretended
ministers of Hippolyte. escaped in his shirt,
but his cocked hat and his sword are in the
hands of our brave soldiers. On the 21st the

New Yobk, March 10. The steamer
Coban arrived in this port to-day, bringing
news of a bloody battle between Legitime's
and Hippolyte's forces and a massacre
by the victors. Legitime's army began
the attack on the outposts early in
February. They were repulsed several
times, bnt finally succeeded in carryine
them, and a few days later were masters of
the city.
Legitime's men were so elated over their
success that they immediately commenced
to pillage the town. The soldiers rushed at
the prisoners, shooting and slabbing them
right and left. The, prisoners begged hard
and piteously for mercy, bnt their cries
were laughed at, and the killing went on,

The members of the Legislature are being

(SPECIAL TKLEORA1I TO TH2 SISPATCH.1
Hakkisbtjeo, March 10. !'It seems to
me," remarked Hon. Henry Hall, ot Mer
cer, the other day, "that all I have done to
day is look over petitions for office and sign
such as I cared to. They're thicker than
requests for bird books."
That is what all the Bepublican members
of the House and Senate may. truthfully say
now at any time. Candidates were early in
the field and the influence of legislators was
sought from the start. The new members at
first felt some pleasure in the novel ex
perience. Now they are heartily sick of it.
Their mail has steadily swelled and keeps
on swelling until the business of the two
legislative postoffices is something to be
proud of, from a postmaster's standpoint.
The bulk of tbe letters and petitions are,
of course, from men who want fourth-class
postoffices, and candidates seem to be out
hot-footed all orer the State for them.
ALL BEPKESENXED.
"Every cross roads in my county," said
Eepresentative Lytle, of Huntingdon, "has
its candidates for a fourth class postoffice.
I don't see why they should bother members
of the Legislature. "We cannot get them

delicate position of choosing between

plain the delicacy of the matter to them and

"There are 20 candidates for every fourth

men want to go back, and there, are plenty;

all they deserved, 'and should stand aside
for some one else. This is also true of the
higher offices."
"There is a wild scramble all over the
country," said Eepresentative Brown, of
Lawrence. "It wouldn'fbe so, of course, if
it had been simply a change of administra
, tion, without a change of its political com
plexion at tbe same time. I think it better
lor members of the Legislature not to en
tangle themselves in these local contests,
inasmuch as it is the Congressman and not
the member of the Legislature whose influ
ence counts at Washington. I am afraid
the Congressmen have a hard time before
them."
Congressman-elect Townsend stopped here
yesterday on his way from Beaver county
to Washington. He said he doesn't con
sider it a bother to look after offices for bis
peoDle. He looks on it as' a part of his busi
ness, and is only sorry that he' can't please
everyone.
THEIB ONLY BEGBET.
This, of course, is a source .of regret to
all Congressmen and Congressmen-elect, and
many of them may find it a serious embar
rassment in their next campaign. Congressman-elect
Bay, whose district has enough
local factional fights to supply several dis
tricts with material for discontent, was here
just before the inauguration on his way to
Washington, and looked worried.
He is making a conscientious effort to
straighten things out and restore harmony
in his district, but it is uphill work.. Had
Cleveland been elected the task would have
been easier, but with all the offices in sight,
and a number of determined aspirants for
each oi them, all with a backing ot more or
less determined friends, the task is not an
enviable one. Of course a Congressman
may always have before him the thought
that the more difficult -the task the greater
the glory in case of success.

asserted Di Qlontercoli, as he nervously
knocked the ashes off his cigarette.
"The Countess, if you please, where is
she?" continued the reporter.
"At Ciechi. She resides at my castle."
"You're sure of that"
"Well, it's 40 days since I left her, but I
believe she is there'waiting for my return,"
declared the Italian, with increased un
easiness of manner.
"Why did you leave her?"
"I wouldn't like to talk .about that"
hesitatingly "well, there was some family
disagreement." .
"Was it money matters?"
The Count assumed a disdainful look as
he replied: "She's poor; quite poor."
"How about yourself. Are you rich?"
persisted the scribe. He shrugged his
shoulders. "Well, state your object" in
evading the question. I don't want to
know the exact amount to the dollar, but
have you an estate or any independent for

Montercoli. "My father has control oi ojhr

her anymore?" queried the reporter.
"Love her any more?" repeated the Count,
startled at the, directness of the question.
"Please. excuse me on that point."
During this cross-examination the noble
man had gradually lost every ves
tige of hauteur, and when he
;,was finally asked to produce his,
passport to prove, "his. identity--as
Count .. Dia . Montercoli, the. request
was speedily obeyed. Taking out a" white,

handed The Dispatch man a folded paper
for examination.
"There is the signature of the Minister of
of Foreign Affairs," he added. "You see it
is all right." .He wished to withdraw the
passport, but the reporter took occasion first
to read the description of Count Di Monter

reads:

New York, March 10. It was rumored

that the wedding took place as soon as the

It appears that Mrs. Langtry's csachman

The Croon's farents Objr ct to the Social Standing ot

Within SG hours after a" Camden preacher,
Eev. I. V; Bagley, ,had united a youpg
conple in marriage,' an irate elder brother
of the groom called with a friend and a
blackjack, and a rough-and-tumble fight
ensued between the two visitors, the pastor
and the letter's muscular father-in-law.
The invaders were finally put to flight and
one of them arrested. The cause of the as
sault was the objection of the eroom's
parents to the girl of their son's choice.
ISrECTALTZLEOBAH TO TOT DISPATCH. 1
Philadelphia, March 10. The Bev.
I. W Bagley, pastor of the Tabernacle
Baptist Church .of Camden, is very glad
that he has a stalwart father-in-law, .and
that he himself is something of a mnscu
lar Christian. When Mr. Bagley on Friday
afternoon united in bonds of holy matrimony
George S. Moyer, of Boxborough, and
Lillian M. Schall, of Manayunk, he little
thought that in ess than 36 hours an irate
elder brother of the groom would cross his
threshold, accompanied by an equally irate
friend and a blackjack, to ask for an ex
planation, and that it all would end in a
roll-over-and-tumble row.
That was the way it did end, and as a re
sult Mr. Bagley's father-in-law, George
Leath-aite, plumber, has a prominently
discolored eye and several cuts on the face,
Mr. Bagley himself one or two stains, while
the angry brother, E. H. Moyer, lies in
Camden's City Hall. The friend escaped.
The minister hopes to catch him, but the
prisoner hopes he will get away.
both swore thetwebe of age.
It. was in the middle of Friday afternoon
that the bride and groom waited on Mr.
Bagley. In their sworn affidavit the groom
said he was 21 on March 22, 1888. and the
bride said she was 21 on May 2, 1888.
Mr. Bagley was alone in his study on the
second floor of his residence, 108 Broadway,
which is also the residence of his father-in-law.
At 1 o'clockon Saturday night two
young men were ushered upstair.
"Did you marry my brother according to
this notice?" asked young Mover, showing
the printed notice in a Saturday morning
newspaper. Mr. Bagley didn't answer, and,
as he looked his visitors over, he saw that
the brother was a strong, handsome young
man, with a dark mustache, about 27 years
of age, and that his friend was a year or
two younger, and also with a mustache.
Mr. Bagley still refused to give any satis
factory reply, and young Moyer was angry.
He said that he knew the marriage was
legal, but that wasn't what he wanted. Mr.
Bagley then ordered him from the room.
THE BOTV BEGINS IN EABNEST.
.Mr.JjeathwaiteJiad.come in by. this time,
and was upstairs: Mr. Mdyer followed Mr.
Bagley, the.fjend. followed him, and Mr.
Leathwaiteicame last. At .the. foot of the
stairs Mr. ,Bagley'says Mr. Moyer made a
pass to hit him; -but the latter says it was
the other way. The father-in-law warded
off the blow. The friend, so Mr. Bagley
says, took a blackjack from his pocket and
struck Mr. Leathwaite on the head,
Then Mr. Bagley took a muscular hand.
He smote that friend once, he smote him
twice, and he. smote him thrice. It was a
knock down plow each time.
Meanwhile; '.Mr. Leathwaite and Mr.
Moyer were "haying it hot on the" floor of the
dining room." while the preacher and the
friend were going; at it in the parlor. Soon
a parlor stand with a portable gas jet on it
was upset and broken, and Mr. Bagley left
his man to stop the house from catching
fire. Thcfnend ran out and got away.
Mr. Moyer also ran out, but Mr. Leath
waite Phased him. A crowd had gathered,
and eight or ten men gave chase and cap
tured the fleeing man.
aiOTEK ESCAPED LUCKILY.
Mr. Bagley said to-night that it was
lucky for Mr.'Moyer that the citizens joined
in it, for if they hadn't Mr". Moyer might
havejeceived injuries that might have re
sulted in the gravest wav, for Mr. Leath
waite was furiously mad, and he is said to
be-one of the most " muscnlar men in South
ern New Jersey.
An officer came up, and the scene ad
journed to the City Hall, where Mr. Bagley
and Mr. Leathwaite preferred charges of
aggravated assault against the prisoner.
Chief Dodd was also given the name of the
man who- escaped, and who lives in this
city, and he told Mr. Bagley that he ex
pected to arrest him to-night. A hearing
will be grauted to-morrow morning.
Mr. Bagley has been for eight years one
of Camden's famons marrying preachers.
The prisoner is a bookkeeper and so is his
father. The objection to the marriage on
the part of the groom's family is said to be
social inequality. The bride is said to be a
mill girl of Manayunk.

Ingenious Wqys of Evading

Washington, March 10. The reply of
the Commissioners of the District of Colum
bia to Senator Edmunds' resolution, last
month, asking them to' furnish any infor
mation in their possession concerning the
exclusion of persons from any of the charita
ble institutions in the District on account
of "race, color or previous condition of
servitude," has been received. Many, if
not all these Institutions, receive aid from
Congress, which was one reason why the in
quiry was made. In order" to reach an intelligent-understanding,
the Commissioners
sent a circular to each of the charitable in
stitutions of the District, containing a copy
of the Senate resolution, and asking for the
policy of the managers on the subject, and
theiranswers accompany the Commissioners'
response. The replies show, in a great ma
jority of case's, that no discrimination is
made, but several are either not so clear, or
admit that colored applicants are not ad
mitted. The Secretary of the German Orphan
Asylum writes to the Commissioners that
there is nothing in tbe constitution or regu
lations of the instution concerning exclu
sion on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude.
Sister Clara, of St. Bosse's Industial
Schoblr
We never had'a colored applicant, therefore
none have been refused; but should they apply
we would not feel bound -to receive tbem, not
being a regular public institution, and not hav
ing the apartments to receive them. It wonld
not be supposed we could mix them with our
young girls, Who are mostly orphans from good
families.
Mrs. J. Curtiss Smith, Secretary of the
Board of tbe Washington Hospital for
Foundlings, in he? letter says:
I have to say that this institution ha3 never
refused the admission of any foundling on ac
count of race or color. Several applications
tor the admission of alleged colored foundlings
have been made, but upon investigation of tbe
cases by the Executive Committee, they were
rejected as ineligible under our rule applica
ble to all admissions, whether white or black.
We have to employ a number of wet nurses for
the nursing children, and while we may regret
the fact that any race prejudice should exist,
yet we are compelled to recognize it as a fact,
and it is apparent that tbe necessary help
could not be bad if it should be attempted to
keep white and colored children in the same
wards.
Sister Mary Vincent, of St. Vincent's
Orphan Asylum, writes: "This institution
is for the white children."
St. Ann's Infant Asylum, says Sister
Agnes, "receives infants and children from
the pnblic authorities without distinction,
but to receive all who present themselves at
our door, particularly colored, would be an
utter impossibility'."
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd write:
No one has ever been refused admittance
Into our institution. Colored children have
not been received, though in some of our
larger houses they have a building for them.
This is signed "Sisters of the Holy Cross
of St. Joseph's Asylum:"
Onr asylum is for rdale orphans. None are
excluded but colured. We find that white
boys cannot be mixed with colored.

whom he was guide, was surprised in the

but himself. A .party has left for the scene

to be the work of white outlaws.
SPECIAL TZXXQBAU TO TUX DISPATCIT. .
Chetenite, Wyo., March 10. A hali
breed hunter ard trapper who arrired from
the extreme Northwestern quarter of tha
Territory to-day brings tidings of a most
atrocious massacre of a party of five French,
tourists in the Yellowstone National Park.
The bearer of the news heard the story at -J
Canyon City, a new mining town near tha
park, where. Hank Perry, the guide and
sole survivor, reported the slaughter of the
foreigners.
Ferry says his charges included M. La1
Claire and wife, J. Vincent and wife, and
Paul Gerot, father of Mme. Vincent. Ha
entered the service of the sightseers at Vir. ,
ginia City, Montana, contracting to show -. '
them through the park in violation of the '
United States statutes. The strangers were j
very wealthy, and said they had journeyed
overland from San Francisco for the express
pnrpose of taking in tbe Wyoming wonder j
land during the absence of the horde of '
summer excursionists in the park.
1
AS ES JOTAKLE TIME.
The party enjoyed themselves hugely ia i
the park, affiliating with the poachers, who j
were there slaughtering came for hides.
Their camp was always headquarters for tha
professional hunters, whom they sunplied '
with luxuries from their extensive larder. A.
The guide's story of the murder, which he
avers was committed by Indians, is a most ;(
graphic recital.
Just before dawn one morning most blood
curdling yells and a fusillade of shots roused
Ferry. He realized the situation, and
crawling through the brnsh took refuge in
the mouth of a sleeping geyser. He heard
the piteons groans and begging of the for
eigners, mingled with the yelling of thered '
skins. The latter proceeded with the mur
ders, and killed old Gerot just as the sun -:
was rising. The slaughter was most brutal.
Wound after wound was inflicted before
the death shot was given. No body con- v
tained less than ten bullets, and tbe remains ,
of Vincent, who made a desperate struggl" -4
for me, were riddled. The savages passed
the morning in further mutilating the bodies
and pillaging the outfit.
SCALPED THE TVOMEJT,
The women were neatlv scalped and" Ion?
tresses matted, with-blood tangled from the
belts of the chiefs of the Indians. The heads
of the men were hacked and tbe bodies
frightfully disfigured. The Indians found
the store of liquors carried by the French
men, but the quantity was not sufficient to
intoxicate, or else they would doubtless.
have fought among themselves. "V
xuc Kiuiucs ui wc viubiuja nc uuuucu uy
the fiends, who, as they ran from one
wagon to another, wonld halt an instant to
give one of the bodies a kick or a gash with
a knite. Finally the marauders wearied ot
the bloody feast and packing the effects of -the
dead people on ponies set fire to the
wagons and left
Ferry, nearly dead with fright, emerged
from his hiding place when the Indians de-.
parted, and at once started for Canyon City,
the nearest settlement.
THE GUIDE'S ESCAPE.
He avoided the hunters in the park and
must have suffered from hunger and ex
posure, as he was weak, emaciated and
seemed slightly demented when relating the
terrible storv. The guide-was placed in the
care of a nhysician, but disappeared the '
second night after the arrival and has not
been seen since. It is presumed that he is
crazy, and that he started' to the scene of
the massacre.
Officers at Canyon City have organized a
posse to secure the bodies of the murdered
people, and, if possible, avenge their deaths.
They will proceed with all possible haste,
as the place is isolated and wolves are liable
to destroy tbe remains before the park police -or
hunters stumble on them.
Ferry is a tough character, but his story
is believed, although some of the miners
think the hide hunters, who are mostly out
laws, may have murdered the tourists for
robbery.
