A desperate Fight with tho India,

A Desperate Fight with the Indians.
ST. LOUIS, August 15.-An Omaha dis
patch says: Information has been receiv-
ed at military headquarters that on the I'd
instant, five miles from Fort Phil Kearney,
an OK train of thirty wagons, transporting
supplies, escorted by Major Powell with a
small force of infantry, was attacked by
two to three hundred Indians. A desper-
ate fight ensued, lasting three hours, when
Major Smith came to the rescue from the
Fort. The Indians retreated, taking away
all their dead and driving of all the stock.
Major Powell reports sixty Indians KILL
ed. His own loss is Lieutenant Jennis and
five men. He attributes his successful de-
tense to the. long range new breach loading
arms. The Indian alarms continue along
the line of the Union Pacific railroad. Only
day trains are allowed to run. General
Augur and Superintendent Denman say
Turkey Foot, Chief of the Cheyennes, alone
guilty of the Plum creek massacre, is now
eamped ninety miles south of Platte river.

THE MASON Sc HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN.
after many improvements and modifica-
fiops, has now reached that degree of per-
lection in construction, and that moderate
ness of cost that bring it within the reach
of many who could not afford the expense
of good piano. No musical family in
prosperous circumstances, should fail, to
possess one OF these beautiful instruments,
which will prove at once an ornament to
the room, means of education to the
young people, and an unfailing and mex
pensive resource in social and solitary

The MILITARY PIC-NIC.-The military
= display yesterday was one of the finest seen
since the war. The day was beautiful
one. The rain of the day previous had
the effect to, in a great measure, keep
down the dust, and the wind blew a gentle
aud most refreshing gale.
Under charge of the accomplished CHIEF
Marshal, Colonel Fred Beck, jr, the pro-
cession organized and formed on Mound
street at ~ o'clock, the right resting on
High street. At O'Clock the line moved
up High to Broad, up Broad to Forth, up
Fourth to North, down North to Front, up
Front to Goodale Park.
The festivities commenced in the Park at
10 o'clock, and from then until dark pleas
ure reigned supreme.
We were compelled to leave Goodale
Park early, and did not get back in time to
hear the speeches.
The silver pitcher shot for was won by
Sergeant Daniel Bresnahan, of the Emmet
Guards, who made center shot. 1t was
too late to shoot for the watch, and it was
reserved for the next parade.
About z O'Clock the line was reformed
and the companies-the Sherman Guards,
Emmett Guards and Coldstream Zouaves-
marched to the State House, where dress
parade was had under Col. Fred. Beck, jr.
At night the Emmet's gave ball at
Naughton Hall. where dancing was kept
up to an early hour this morning.
We venture the assertion that there were
a larger number of persons in attendance
at Goodale Park yesterday afternoon, than
ever were out on similar occasion before,
and all enjoyed themselves hugely.
To the attention and care of Marshal
Beck and the gentlemanly and liberal En-
met Guarks, was due the good order that
prevailed throughout the day. and the uni
versal enjoyment of the guests. When our
citizen soldiers have another parade "may
we be there to see."

BASE BALL GOssIP-The second match of
of the game between the Excelsiors and
Capital Base Ball club of this city for the
championship will be played on the Capt.
tails grounds Tomorrow afternoon. If the
Excelsiors be successful tomorrow, they
will be declared the champion club of Co.
lumbus. Should the Capitals win, third
game must be played to decide the ques-
ton.
The most curious and amusing of the
many base ball contests that have occurred
this year was that which took place at
Chicago few days since. The Excelsior
club of that city, which has been fondly
regarded by its citizens as the best in the
country, has been fearfully beaten by the
National, of Washington. To add to the
humiliation, the Washington club was
beaten the day before by rural club from
Rockford, in Northern Illinois. 1t appears
that large number of heavy betters ac-
companied the National clnb, and invested
all their spare money in bets with the Chi
cagonians. .i'ro
One OF our Western exchanges estimates
that the Washington party won a hun
dred thousand dollars, and that half as
much more was taken out of the city by
other betters. The Ail,oaukee Wisconsin
says that one of the Milwaukeans brought
back two thousand dollars, another one
thousand two hundred dollars, and others
all the way from fifty to one thousand dol
lars. The Chicago people unwisely got in
to rage, and made charges of "jockeying'
against the winning club, but these accusa-
tions were soon abandoned and a clean
confession of defeat had to be made. The
match may be regarded as the elimination
OF the base ball mania, which has been SC
rapidly on the increase during the past
year. The gambling Accomplishments Of
this fine, athletic sport will we fear, cause
it to sink into disrepute.
