Indians of that section obtain their arras
largely from the Indians of Manitoba.
After the Minnesota massacre many Sioux
crossed into British America, where they
bunted, trapped, and occasionally hired
out to the farmers of Manitoba. As soon
as theygot either money or furs they
bought or bartered for arms and ammuni
tion, which they in turn sold to their breth
ren of theUnitcd States. The Sioux have
a vivid recollection of the Mankato hang
ing, and are nursing a terrible- feeling of
rovengo. A constant communication is
maintained between those in Manitoba
and the United States ; and whenever a
favorable opportunity offers they will all
join in an outbreak, using Manitoba as a
base and a safe retreat in case of disaster.
HOW THE BrcNDElt MCRDRR9 WERE
Committed. Tho Bender family of Kan

cifuksystcm of murder, and if we must
havefourdcrs let us. by all means, have a
system .which we nave not yet noticed.
It is this : Their cabin was arranged as a
place bf entertainment for travelers. , A
sheet hung Across it, dividing it into two
compartments. When a single traveler
arrived, he was seated at a table so that
the outline of his lorm was defined upou
the sheet, and in case he leaned back, his
head pressed against Uils clastic as well as
transparent bulkhead. Under his chair
unknown to Him, was a trap-door. Tho
mail fiend, stationed on the outer side of
the sheet, watched for tho pressure of the
victim's head against it,and striking a stun
nine blow with a hammer on the back of tho
skull, slipped the spring of tho trap-door,
thus dumping the body into tho cellar,
whore his wife, knife in hand, stood ready
to end tho work.. Nicholas Mindou, a
supposed accomplice of tho Bender lUmily,
was arrested in Texas," but oonwutted Bui
cide before rcachiug the Stale where the
atrocities, in which he no doubt bora a
part, were committed. He promised to
make a confession, but ho was allowed to
have a pistol in his possession, strango
enough, with which . ho shot himself.
There seems to be no doubt but that tho
Benders were in Texas where Miudou was
arrested, and were making their way into
Mexico. Sinco the foregoing was in type
it is also announced that two members of
the family had been arrested in Iowa ou
Saturday ; tho mother at Oxford and the
son at West-Liberty. There is said to be
no deubt of their iudonlity.

A great fire commenced this morniug
about 8 o'clock in the furniture factory of
Haley, Morse A Boyden, 411 Washington
street, a six-story building. On account
of tho combustible character of the contents
the flames spread with lightning rapidity,
and in ten minntcs the Building was one
massive sheet of flame.
The fire soon worked Into tho blocks on
either side and rear, occupied by wholesale
clothiers and piano manufacturers, includ
ing Emerson & Co. These buildings soon
succumbed. The fire soon crossed the
street and, on account of the intense heat,
tho firemen wore unable to work to advan
tage, and the French, roof of. tho ..Globe
thcatro building caught lire. . ,
Tho entire department and assistance
from out of town were present fighting with
tho flames. ' Great excitement existed in
tho vicinity of tho fire, and while dealers
were removing goods and merchandise
several accidents happened. ,
At ten o'clock the fire was still raging
with unabated fierceness, the fire depart
ment finding themselves unable to stop
its progress. About five blocks are con
sumed. Ouo of tho branch offices of the
Frauklin telegraph compauy is destroyed.
Engiues have come iu from the surrounding
towns. i .
At 11 A. m. the fire was still gaining on
the firemen and looked as if it would go
down to Chaunccy street, on the edge of
the burned district. Among the buildings
burucd are the Globe tlieatro. Chickering's
filnno warcrofims and the International
totel. About three millions hayo already
been lost.
Tho Ore originated iu the rear of Hadley,
Morse & Hoyden's, and extendod to the

direction of Treraont street All the deal
ers on that Btrcct exposed to the fire have
moved their goods on to the common im
mediately opposite, including Weeks &
Potter, who were among those burned out
at tho great fire.
. The elegant Masouic Temple, on tho
corner of Trcmont street, is not touched,
and will be saved on account of its non
combustible charctcr.i The buildings be
tween that corner and Washington ou
Boylston street are low structures, filled
with fire traps in tho rear, and were all
burned, including. Boylston, Banker and
the corner of Washington streets.
It is impossible to got tho uamcs of tho
occupants and losers now. During the
regress of the tiro tho steeple of He v. Dr.
lunn's Presbyterian church, corner of
Harrison avenue and Beach street, took
fire from the window and consumed the
balance of the church.
The streets lea Jiug to the sccno of con

valuable merchandise.
The fire interferes with the observauce of

SHOT 1EAD Bf HIS RON.
A Wfxi-Known Ajtho tub Vic
tim. New York, June). Tbe Bturtevant
House, a fashionable hitel on Broadway,
between Twonty-cigbthand Twenty-ninth
streets, was the scene ojan awful tragedy
Ibis morning tbe killed of a father by bis
own son. The victim il Mansfloid Tracy
Walworth, son of the toe Chancellor Wal
worth, of this Bute, asd an author of
considerable literary repitation.
The following statemoit was made to the
coroner by Frank Walwtrth, who shot bis
father at the Bturtevaut House this morn
ing.' '
.1 reside with my mother in Saratoga, my
father having parted from her some years
ago. My father is an aithor, and I have
been studying law. I tliuk my father was
about forty -ono years old, but I do not
know where he was bort. My father has
not lived with my mother since we left
three years ago, but he has repeatedly sent
us threatening and insuting letters.
It is only a short tiinf ago since that he
threatened to shoot my mother and myself.
I shot him because of this. 1 Not long ago
I met him in the street id Saratoga, and
them I told him that if he did not keep
away from us, or insulted my mother any
more, I would shoot bin.
I told him that there vera bounds which
I would not allow any nan to go beyond
with impunity especially when my mother
was being insulted. I went to his house
yesterday, and left a note for him to call on
me, which be did this morning. When he
came in the room I drew out a rcvolvor
and told him to promise me that he would
not threaten or insult us any more, which
ho promised.
Shortly afterwards we began speaking on
family matters, and he used some very In
sulting language, and put his hand In his
pocket as though to draw a pistol, when I
shot him. Ho then came towards me and
1 fired three otter shots at him. . When I
fired the last shot at him ho had me by the
collar. '
I only regret this on account of the of
fuct it will have on my family. I would
like Judgo Harbour to know this, as ho was
interested iu the case before.
The doctor did lot find any pistol in the
pockets of deceased, but found a note left
for him by his son, in his breast pocket.
The following is a copy of his note :
3 o'clock. I want to try aud settle
some family mnkters. - Call at Sturtevant
House after an hour or two. If I am not
there I will leave word at the office.

INSURANCE THAT IS SLICE.
Tlit ftMotring arhelt m printed originally un

mercial of tit 'Mh u. in reprint it nvu by
rcq'teit. 1
It used to be a good ptau to publish the proflli
of insurance companies when advertising ibclr
claims upon tbe pubic confidence. 1 he Idea
was that a company which paid lnrge dividends
must be prosperous aud well mauuircu and sale
But tbe Chicago And Boston fires exploded that
idea nnd changed that sdvcrtisingpnllry. 8cven
eighths ot the small-capita! lurge-dlvldend-pay-
ing companies, mat did business to any extent
la Chicago und Boston, were wiped out by those
exceptional disasters. Only those companies
wilbstood the liook that bad bean conducted
upon the principle of fortifying their capital by
allowing their earnings, alter paying lair aivi
(lends, to accumulate Into large surpluses, avail.
able for heavy calls upon their treasuries. Now,
therefore, Instead of advertising their profits, the
best insurance companies may more Judiciously
publish tbe amount of their losses, provided only
they are able to point to a clear record, which Is
the result of reiving one hundred cents on the
dollar to every honest claimant, no matter how
heavy may have been tbe aggregate of their
loose.
These rellortlous arise naturally examining the
last published statement of the condition of the
T.tuu insurance company or iiartioru. ui an
tho plucky things In this plucky country, we
think this glorious old institution must be con
sidered as about tho pluckiest. What V'l.Tosr.s

..tna is among insurance companies, it ap
pears to be removed beyond the contingency of
real disasters, ft may suffer heavy losses it
may encounter misfortunes against which no
human foresight could provide It may be sub
jected for a while to suspicion engendered by tbe
envy of rivals but, like General Grant, tbe
Ktna goes calmly on lu tbe line af duty laid out
by Itself, never discouraged, never set back,
never for a moment entertaining the Idea of
abandoning that "Hue," if it takes (be last dol
lar to meet its honest abilities. No doubt the
iVtna will continue to "fight It out ou tbnt line,"
until the end of time for Insurance companies on
this continent.
There Is something resolutely prand la the
resolute integrity of this noble old company.

That Favorite Home Rrmedy,
PAIHK1LLBR,
Has been before the nubile over TRrhTT
tears, and probably hat a wider and bet
ter repuiauoB man any other proprietary
medicine of the present day. At this
period then are but lew unacquainted with
the merits of the Pain-Killer t but while
some extol it as a liniment, they know but
nine oi us power in easing pain when taken
internally ; while ethers use it internally
with great success, but are equally Igno
rant oi us neanns , virtues when annHcd
externally. We therefore wish to say to
all, that it is equally successful, whether
need internally or eternally. It is sufficient
evidence of its virtues as a standard medi
cine to know that it is now used in all carts
oi tno woria, ana mat its sale is constantly
increasing... na curative agent bnt bad
such a wide spread sale or given such uni
versal satisfaction, i
Davi8'sPain-Killeh is a purely vege
table compound, pcrpared from tho best
purest materials, and with a care that in
sures tbe most perfect uniformity in the
medicine : and while it is a most effective
remedy for pain, it is a perfectly safe medi
cine ; and while it is a most effective re
medy for pain, it is a perfectly safe medi
cine, even in the most unskilful hands.
It Is eminently a Family Medicine ;
and by being kept ready for Immediate re
sort, will save many an hour of suffering
and many a dollar in time and doctor's
bills.
After over thirty years trial, it is still re
ceiving the most unqualified testimonials
to its virtues, from persons of the highest
character and responsibility. Eminent
Physicians commend it as a most effectual
preparation for tho extinction of pain. It
is not only the best remedy ever known for
Bruises, Cut, Burns, &c., but for Dysen
tery, or Cholera, or any sort of bowel com
plaint, it is a remedy unsurpassed for effi
ciency, and rapidity of action. In the great
cities or India, and other hot climates, it
has become the standard medicine fur all
such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and all other kindred
disorders. For Coughs andeTJolils, Canker,
Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundant and
convincing testimony to bo au invaluable
medeiclne.
. We would caution the public against all
imitations of our preparation, cither in
name, or style of putting up.
