elusions, the speech is an able and ex
haustive one, showing much thought
on the important subject to which it
is devoted, and well worth the con
siderate perusal of the moral and
reflecting portion of the community.
The movement of the New York
World to cut loose from the "Liberal
Republicans'' and place the demo
cratic party upon a free trade plat
form, is creating a great flutter in the
opposition ranks. The -Liberals"
are indignant at the "snub," and the
Tariff Democrats in Pennsylvania
are equally indignant that one of j
of the crime stamp U as
of the most fiendish which we have
been called upon to chronicle.
From all the facts that can be gath
ered, the murder was committed
shortly after ten o'clock. It appears
that Lizzie had tcca sent to Mr.
Shank's store, at Saltsbnrg, to make
some pure liases, and took a "short
cut" across the hill to reach the
latter place, that beinjr the usual
route. She arrived at Mr. Shank's
store about nine o'clock, made her
purchases, and after some pleasant
conversation started with a friend to
visit a family in the upper part of
town. As stated, she started home
at about ten o'clock, and nothing
more was heard of her nntil the dis
covery of the murder, shortly after
twelve o'clock.
The discovery was made by Mrs.
Kline. She had Ik-coiiio uneasy in
consequence of the continued absence
of the girl, and started towards Salts
burg for the purpose of ascertaining
the cause of her deteu'.ion. Coming
over the hill to a spot known as
Mehaffey's Grove, she was horrified
at the sight which met her gaze.
The child for whom she was in search
was lving senseless- upon the ground,

Further investigation showed that

Warm Spring Indians, were expect
ed to co-operate with Capt. Thomas'
left. The troops having formed a
line of skirmishers, advanced without
molestation until they arrived at the
foot of the bluff south of the lava
beds, having in the meanwhile sig
naled the camp. No Indians could
be found. On reaching the bluff the
Modocs opened a severe fire, causing
the troops to seek such shelter as they
could find in the crevices and chasms,
and as usual the foe were unseen.
The first position becoming untenable,
owing to the fact that the Indians ob
tained both a cross and enfilading
fire, so exposed the position that up
to the present writing, 7 o'clock r. m.,
only two wounded could go to camp.
Nine of the wounded, including
Lieutenant Wright, of the Twelfth
infantry, had sought safety in the
crevice, wliicn was particularly open
to the Modoc fire, doubts exist of
their ultimate safety.
o soon as the information was re
ceived at the headquarters relative to j
the peril of parties of troops, aid was
at once pushed forward to the rescue,
four companies ln'iug ordered out
j two of cavalry from this camp and
i two of Col. Mason's. Stretchers for
1
conveying the wounded were ior
warded; these latter arc returning
just now, without having achieved
the object for which they were intend
ed.
April 2S 5:.'10 a. M. A dispatch
received from Colonel Greene, t.f the
First Cavalry, who went out with re
inforcements yesterday morning,
shows the surprise to have been much
more terribly fa-
supiKiscd. The
Exciting rumors reached the city
last evening that the war between the
rival railroads for the possession of
the Mount lMcasaut Railroad hud
been renewed, and that n first-class
riot was on the tapis. An investiga
tion of the statements somewhat
modified the first thrilling rumors, but
developed the fact that there had
In'cn lively times "up the road," was
a renewal oi Hostilities.
It seems that the managers of the
Connellsville Company became some
what tired of the monotony i f the
situation, especially as the business
interests of their patrousaud of them
selves were suffering. They accord
ingly determined to n possess- them
selves of the branch lately wrested
from tlicni, ajd with this eud iu view
tLey secured a large squad of work
men to re-lay the track that had been
torn up near Rrondford. The
laborers worked with a will, and by
yesterda' afternoon r.t three o'clock
had finished their work. A locomo
tive belonging to the Connellsville
Road had been run down to them,
and they were preparing to leave,
when about two hundred workmen,
representing the Pennsylvania Rail
road, put in an appearance. The
new coiners were quite belligerent in
their demonstrations, but in this res
pect were not ahead of the party of
the opposite side, and a serious
collision was apprehended. The
Pennsylvania party soon evinced
their intention by setting fire to a
couple of small bridges built over the
creeks iu the vicinity. They accom
plished their purpose by running
down an oil car and saturating the
woodwork of the bridges with oil,
which facilitated the rapid destruc
tion of the trestle work. t he lire
burned so rapidly that the locomotive
of the Connellsville partv, which had
been standingon one bridge, narrowly
escaped being destroyed.
This movement on the part oi the
Pennsylvania party gave them the
victor, and the connection with tne
Connellsville road was again broken.
There were manifestations of fierce
ness" on both sides, and a hand-to-
hand encounter seemed imminent, but
the belligerents wisely concluded to
forego the pleasure of a free use of
the "shillelah" or other weapons.
The latest intelliirence was to the
effect thht peace still prevailed,
although both parties were yet con
fronting each other.
In the meantime the Connellsville
Company are pressing their ease be
fore the Supreme Court. They have

accident, involving tcarlui loss oi Hie,
occurred here this afternoon. The
rite of bantisiu was beinjr adminis
tered to a number of recent converts
to one of the Baptist churches here at
a point in Rock river, just below the
Truesdah; iron bridge. About .two
hundred porsiiis. including many
ladie3 and a number of children, had
gathered on the bridge to witness the
ceremony. Suddenly, without warn
ing, the bridge gave way and precipi
tated its living freight into the stream
below. The scene which ensued was
indescribably terrible. As the strug
gling victims vainly endeavored to
free themselves from the ruins of the
bridge and from each other large
crowds of people on the banks rushed
widely to and fro, many of them so
distracted with terror ns to be unable
to render any assistance. Others
more self-possessed speedily brought
ropes, plaiiks and boats and went
nobly to work to rescue the living and
recover the dead. Some of those who
were on the bridge when it fell were
so near the ends that thev were able
to reach the bank without assistance,
while others were fortunately within
reach of those on shore ; but up to !
P. M., thirty-two dead bodies had been
takeu from the river, and it is almost
certain that there are others still
under the wie.-k of the bridge.
Twenty -four were rescued ulive, but
more or less injured, some fatally.
Midnight. l'p to this hour no
other bodies ol the bridge disa-ter
have been recovered at this point, but
l I 1
several are reported to nave oeen
lickcd up at Stil ling, six miles be
low, and doubtless the swift current
has lorue others down the river.
The general estimate of the number
of the lost amounts to from I0 to IOC.
As stated in previous dispatches thirty-one
IhmHcs were recovered from
the wreck before.daik. Five other
bodies floating down passt those en
gaged at the wreck have not yet been
recovered. There are therefore sup
nosed to lie at least fiftv bodies still
unf-mnd, most of them, it is thought, '
are under the wreck of the bridge, i

At the meeting of tbe llrpubliean
State Committee at Ilarrislmrg, on
Thursday of last week, it was deter
mined to hold the next State Conven
tion at tbe Capitol on Wednesday the
13tbday of August next The follow
ing complimentary resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Jtesolv'd. That the Ilepublicau
party of Fennsylvaia have reason to
be proud of the manner in which
Governor Hartranft discharged the
duties of bis office, and the people of
tbe Commonwealth may feel assured
that their interests will be fully guar
ded during bis administration.
Resolved, That tbe thanks of the
committee and of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania arc tenjered
to the Hon. Ilusscl Krrett, Chairman,
General Bingham, Treasurer, and the
per era serctarics associated with
them for tbe efficient and able man
ner in which they discharged their
arduous duties during the late cam
paign which resulted bo gloriously in
tbe triumph of Ilepublicau princi
ples. Tni terrible defeat, ar rather mas
sacre of our troops by the Modoc In
dians, has caused au intense
feeling throughout tbe country. Ev
idently there must lie a change iu our
mode of warfare with the ravages.
Tbe late massacre, for it was nothing
else, is but a repetition of Brappock's j
disaster, or indeed of every attempt J
since that day, to meet the redskins
witu regular troops. Men under
standing their mode of warfare,
trained Indian fighters will have to In
employed, and tbe sooner the govern
ment accepts the services of the larjcrc
numbers of these men who are now
offering themselves, the better will it
be. To send trained soldiers who are
accustomed to move iu masses, and
at the word of command, into the!
broken and rocky country, In-hiiid ev
ery projection or which lurks a keen
eyed assassin with a repeating rifle in
his hand, is simply marching the
braTe fellows to certain death, from
unseen foes.

Wright of the Twelfth infantry, and
eight wounded, including Lieut. Har

fire of shots frOm his natural or arti
ficial breastworks of rock or surface.
The ground in many places is torn
up by volcanic action, leaving crevi
ces, and these are adaptable to the
purposes of either hiding or points of j
defense. Several instances of sol-1
diers knowing nothing of the topo
graphy have come unawares on such
fissures, therefore they could not es
cape. Their positions were confron
ted with a wily Indian, rifle leveled,
and death or at least a dangerous
wound, was tbe result. Too often
tbe cowardfy redskins escajie by so
many paths known only to them
selves. As a sample of their treachery and
cunning it may not be amiss to state
that a portion of batteries A and K,
Fourth Artilery, and company E,
Twelfth Iufantry, finding themselves,
in dauger and outflanked, took shelter
in a hollow spot, affordiug a partial
cover for some twenty. o sooner
bad they done so than the Indians,
who knew and commanded every
egress from the cavity at that point,
numbered twenty-one warriors, de
tached seven of their number on one
side, fourteen remaining on the other,
opened a cross fire on the poor fel
lows, who could not show head nor
hand without certainly being struck.
Very few escajtcd injury ; the rest
were cither killed or wounded.

GALtNA, III, May I. All the
public buildings and many private
residences, including the President's
old home on the hill, are brilliantly
illuminated, and all the bells of the
city are ringing a welcome . to Presi
dent Grunt to bid old home. Owing
to a heavy storm prevailing, the for
mal reception was postponed, and he
was met at the depot on the arrival
of the special train from the S outh
at 8:40 p. M. by a committee of Com
mon Council nnd citizens, accompani
ed by Mayor Iloscr, and escorted to
ttic residence of L. S. J-cIt, Lsq.,
w hose jruest be will be during his
visit. Notwithstanding a heavy rain
which poured down, nearly four.
thousand persons greeted his arrival
ties, burying their dead in caves.
Their wounded are supposed to be
bidden in caves also, but few of them
have lecn found so far.
Justice to the memory of the gal
lant dead compels us to record the
following Veil authenticated facts :
When Captain Thomas found himself
and bis men surrounded by the vin
dictive foe, true to his nature as a
soldier he sought to cheer bis soldiers
on to the bitter end, and obtain, if
possible, life for IiTc or sell their lives
dearly, saving, "Men, we are sur
rounded ; we must fight and die like
men nnd soldiers."
In bis noble efforts to sustain the
courage of his small command be was
ably seconded by Lieutenant Howe
and Lieutenant Wright. After re
ceiving his mortal wound he buried
his gold watch and chain among the
rocks, and emptied bis revolver among
his enemy before dying.
A Young Man Bnrna Himself Alive.
Washington, April 30. General
Sherman to-day received tiie annexed
dispatch from Gen. Schofield;
Lava Reps, April 23. On the
2Cth, Major Greene, commanding the
camp on the west side of the Lava
Bed., ordered Captain Thomas, of
the Fourth Artillery, and a partv of
Warm Spring Indians, to make a re
connoisance in a southeasterly direc
tion to a point about four miles from
camp. I lie party lett camp aoout
twelve o'clock, noon, reached the des
ignated point and were resting, no
Indians having been seen. Suddenly
tbe party was fired upon by the Indi
ans, when npon searching in the lava
chasms the bodies of Captain Thomas
and Lieutenant A. P. Howe, of the
Fourth Artillery, and Lieutennt Thom
as F. Wright, of the Twelfth Infantry
were found. First Lieutenant Arthur
Cranston, of the Fourth Artillery, has
not been found. It is supposed thft
he was killed. Lieutenant Gen. (J.
Harris, and Acting Assistant Surgeon
15. Semig, were seriouslv, though I
hope not dangerously, wounded.
Thirteen enlisted men were killed
and wounded. All the officers and
part of the men remained together
and fought like heroes, but the In
dians had secured the advantage of
tbe'positiou licforc being discovered.
The remains of the oflicers will be
taken to Yreka to-morrow. The bodies
of four warriors have been found
at or near the scene of battle. Cai-
tain Mendenhall reports from Ilurlctts
ville, and is exjM-cted to join on the'

the Lava Heds this morning.
tune of the accident, ami more suc
ceeded in escaping than was a t first
feared at the time of the accident.
most of the people were gathered
at either end of the structure, though
a large number were near the center.
Some of the latter remained where
they were when the crush came ami
were afterwards taken off by boats.
Several men jumped from their pre
carious resting place into the river
and swam to the shore. Two horses
and bugsfies were standing on the
middle spans and are still there,
there being no way to take them off.
There were a number of remarkable
e.-capes of children, of whom there
were probably not less than fifty on
the bridge when it went down.
One little fellow, about thirteen years
old, was caught hy both feet in the
iron rigging of one ofthe fallen spans
and had ono of hio legs broken. He
managed by sheer ftrciigtti to pull
one of his boots off, tearing the sol"
off in the process, then cooly taking
out bis knife ripped the other boot
from the foot to the wounded leg,
and then crippled as he was, swam
afhorc. Two little girls, sisters,
were standing side by side anil went
down together; as they reached the
water the oldest caught the other by
her dress with one hand ami with
the other clung to n portion of the
work and clung fast to it up to her
neck in the icy water until they were
both taken off by a boat. There is
so much excitement and confusion
that it is impossible to-night to pro
cure more definite information in re
gard to the number lost, but the esti
mate given above is believed to be
correct. .No attempt will he matle to
recover any more bodies ijntil morn
