Prospects for Business.

The railroad connection between Omaha and
the East is complete, and the earnings of the
Union Pacific on the sections already finished for
the first two weeks in May were Sis, 900. These
sectional earnings the road progresses will
much more than pay the interest on the Compa-
ny's bonds, and the through business over the on

Is most fattering. The location of the line Is
one OF the best IN the country. 1t passes through
a large number of important cities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasing. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population,
and these viii bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. Allthe
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, on capital stock that has been repeated

a few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the

with limited amount of stock, can at least Go

time now remaining before the great dlstribu-
uon which takes place within the next week,
to purchase one or moro shares of stock at one
dollar per share in aid of the Riverside InBti-
tute, established for the gratuitous education OF
soldiers and sailors orphans. The small sum
required places this duty within the reach OF
all, while at the same time every one who con-
tributed towards the grand work not only re-
ceives for certainty more than the value OF
his money, but stands his chance with the
other stockholders of being awarded some OF
the most valuable of the presents offered. The
fine steel plate engravings given without extra
cost with each share of stock purchased are on

The Indian Troubles.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 2O.-An Omaha special says
Crow Indian country, who has just returned from
Fort Phil. Kearney, charges Judge Kinney, the
special Indian Agent at Fort Kearney with
gross injustice aud frauds In his dealings with
the Iowa Indians, compelling them to remain
in the Sioux country against their will, for the
purpose of securing their trade. Also that the
annuities of $4,000, promised three years ago,
were never paid, and claims that the goods sold
at Kinney's own store to the Indians were fur
nished by the Government for free distribution.
Dispatches from the North Platte say that the
Indians in council yesterday demanded the un-
conditional abandonment of the Powder Riv er
country and the abandonment of the Pacific
Railroads, and also that they be supplied
with guns and ammunition before they make
peace, otherwise they will carry on the war to
determination.

Wnen the collision took place between the
Kichmend and the Vanderbilt the sky was
clear, and It was nearly as light as day. The
impetus OF the Vanderbilt was so great that her
keen bow ploughed through the Richmond as
II she were some light fabric. Staterooms were
levelled, and lay mass of debris upon the decks.
Both boats we're running under full head of steam.
The passengers had no sooner been taken off
than the Richmond sank to the bottom of the
stream. The Vanderbilt struck the Richmond
near the bow, on the starboard side, and ploughed
its way though forty feet Of the vessel, ripping
up the state-rooms and bridal chambers, as il
made of paper. The Richmond was looked
upon as the pride Of the river, and parties would
pay more to go on her than on any other up
the Hudson. The Vanderbilt is an old steamer.
All persons on board are supposed to be saved.

A BEAUTIFUL DIsPLAY.-The recent Inter
State Fair at Norristown, was one of the most
brilliant and successful that has taken place
for several years. both from the number of ex-
hibitors and from the general character of the
articles placed on exhibition. In the depart
ment of manufactures there was an especially
brilliant display of the handtcraftmRnship of
our workmen. Perhaps one of the most beauti-
full specimens that was on exhibition was a
most elaborate and highly finished set of Har-
lips Nos. 80 and 32 South Seventh street.
This gentleman had number of beautiful
specimens of harness and sadlery that were
much admired and commented on by the thou
sands of visitors to the air. But the most re-
markable part OF his contribution was mag.
nificent turnout of four-in.hand, which. while
at Long Branch, attracted SO much attention,
and ELECTED so much admiration during the
summer. These two pair of light and dark
daps led greys were caparlsoned in q style that
mans hip, and the most artistic elegance of de.
sign which marked them, were the theme Of
universal praise wherever they appeared,
Nothing on the ground excited such attention
or caused more remarks OF commendatory
character than this turnout and they were
well deserved. Philadelphia has cause to be
proud of her workmen. and we can we'll afford
to place our works in competition with those
of the establishments of Paris and the older
European Cities Mr.. Phillips Is now putting
Chestnut street, above Twelfth, which he will
OCCUPY as his wholesale and retail ware-rooms
and man ufactory, and expects to make IL the
largest and best appointed establishment Tor
medal was awarded to Mr.. Phillips for his dis
play at the Fair at Norristown, for which a
special die is now being made. We can be eX-
cused in feeling natural pride in the success
that tends to elevate the character of our manu-
factureg.
