BLOODY WORK IN LOUISIANA.
sheriff and u Negro KiIied-FOur Other
ReEsrted KILLED in Another AGray.

The New Orleans Picdyune, April l, says:-
Governor Yarmouth yesterday received the fol-
lowing despatch from Monroe, in this State,
under date OF March 3l:-
wisDer, sheriff, and Offutt johnson. Witness in JAIL
isd . might and Beaver accused Of Hprder IN !ai
also IN a separate afray. JOHN RAY.
In explanation OF the above we would state,
from information which We CLEANED yesterday
from persons living, when at home, at Monroe,
that Beavers, who was liberated by the gang
who broke open the jail and did the killing, was
in prison, charged with having, election day, in
Monroe, been enc OF a band whoshot and killed
three negroes who were supposed to have been
returning from the polls. The story goes that
there were four negroes, Offutt johnson one of
the numDer who we're captured by the band
md taken into the woods, where they were placed
in position and fired at by squad. Three of
the number were killed, but johnson springing
aside, escaped the bullets, and though pursued
and shot at, managed to make good his escape,
and give the alarm. The band made off for
parts unknown, but Beavers who johnson testi-
lied was one of them, was subsequently cap
tured and placed in Jail at Monroe. johnson,
through fear or for some other reason, also left
| for Texas, we believe, but he was also subse-
quently arrested and placed in jail,
aud held as witness against
| When the gang attacked the Jail the night before
| last for the purpose of liberatiug Beavers they
were doubtless resisted 10y Sheriff Wisner, who
| had the reputation of being . reso!ute and fear
| less man, and in this way most probably he met
| his death al their hands johnson, the colered
witness, was killed, either through revenge for
| the information which ne gave because the
gang wished to get rid OF the only living witness
| against them.
| The man named Wimberly mentiOaed ut the
close of Mr.. Rays despatch as having been
killed on the same night in separate ARRAY, ie
, reputed to have been q dangerous character
living in Monroe, and was probably killed in {
| street braWl Of some kind.

business demand for money, which, however, is
not of a character to disturb the present ease OF
the market. Call loans have been greatly stimu-
lated by the sudden furry at the Stock Board,
leading to good deal of shifting and a very
material advance in prices. The only effect on
the market, however, win be to afford tempo
rary employment for some of the unemployed
capital of the banks. Neither in call loans nor
discounts do we perceive any change III rates or
the present active demand by increasing them.

Government bonds were rather quiet, but
with the exception of the currency os, there
was an advance Of 1S@1l all through the list.

The Breaker Rebullt.WorS to bo itesnmea on
The Scranton Republican, of the 9th INST saws:
On the morning of the 9th OF September last
the fearfal news flashed over the wires that the
AYondale mine breaker wac on fire, and that 2l2
men were imprisoned therein. The history of
that dreadful affair is fresh in the minds Of all
and particularly in those OF the beroaVed rela-
tives and friends of the 1OS men and boys found
dead in the mines, and Of those Of the two
brave men who lost their lives in the effort to
release their imprisoned companions, On Mon
day next, seven months after the calamity hap
pened, the mine will again commence work.
A new breaker and oil necessary buildings
and machinery have just been completed NJ an
expense of about $4,000. 1t is pronounced by
good Judges the best breaker in the Wyoming
Valley. Four months ago the work was com
menced of driving an opening TO the much
talked of at the time Union mine. II will per
haps be remembered that IT was freely said by
many that an opening to the abandoned portion
of said mine could have been driven in few
days although 1t appeared in evidence ON the
! inquest that the nearest point to said mine was
| 600 feet On Thursday last n hole was driven
| through to said Union mine, after 626 feet of
| boring from the Avondale side, and from thirty
| TO forty feet on the Union side.
The mine was struck at the bottom of plane,
where were several feet in depth of water, which
| of course Immediately ran into Avondale. 1t is
| said that the daily accumulation of water from
| this source can easily be removed with two
| donkey pumps. This opening has cost the CON-
| pany about $4,000. With this opening, pro-
babIy such another calamity can never again
| occur. In addition to this precaution, however
the company have sunk, at an expense of ovei
$4,000, an air shaft ninety-six feet In depth, tC
the old rock tunnel, the opening being $50 feet
from the mouth of the shaft. But they have
introduced still another means of safety. Ii
future the mino is to be ventilated with far
instead of a furnace.
On Monday next, when the mine will re
commence work, the management expect Il
raise from 1876 TO $50 carloads Of coal, and h
increase it when in full operation few week

THE WAR In WYOMING.
How IL Commenced - General Alarm of the
SeLtlers-Fears and Vain Regrets.

SouTH PASS, Wyoming, March 3l.- This
community has been again startled by warlke
or murderous visit from band of hostile or
friendly Indians supposed to be Arapahoes
Early this morning the only son of DR.. j. NJ.
Irwin was seized almost within stone throw of
Atlantic City, four miles from here, by party
of Indians, and, after having been entirely
stripped OF his clothing, was shot and lett for
dead.
Upon his body are four wounds, three caused
by arrows and one by bullet. The lad, who
was picked up by partywho heard his screams,
was fortunately restored to consciousness after
having been carried to his fathers house. and
said that he believed them to be Arapahoes; and
as the Arapahoes have been encamped In the
Wind River Valley this past winter, and por-
tion of them having made a friendly visit to this
district, the boys statement is doubtless correct.
It Is hoped the sufferer may recover, but the
case is pronounced doubtful by his father, who
is practising physician and surgeon in
Atlantic
FEARS.
A party of more than thirty Indians was OBJ
served within half mile of Atlantic Mt about
sunrise this morning. Fears are now enter
tanned for the safety of prospectors, who are
now scattered about the hills in almost every
direction. 1t is also feared, but not yet known
for certain that the horses which have been
herded in Wind River Valley during the past
winter have been driven away This is q month
earlier than the Indian depredations commenced
here last year.
VAIN REGRETS.
During the past winter an expedition was for
some time talked of to go down and 'clean
out" the Arapahoe camp, and regrets are now
expressed that the contemplated project was not
executed.
JNDoRsING SHERIDAEs POLICY.
To-day a petition iudorsing General Sheri-
dams Indian policy, and asking that Colonel
Baker or some officer of his fighting qualfca-
tions be placed in command in Wind River
Valley, is In circulation. There can be no doubt
that if the settlers once organize for retaliation
good many Indians will be civilized"

Governor Campbell Judge Jones, and the Pay,
master are expected to arrive here ON Saturday
and go to Wind river on Sunday, when the
Governor will probably investigate Indian AFFAIR."

NOVEL CURIOSITY.
Thousands of Women CrOwdIng to Zee

Thousands of Women wsE,sS Crowdins to See
The Newark AdUertiSer of last evening gives
an illustration of a singular female character
istic:--
The fEneral of Mrs. Marie e. Rose, which took
place from her late residence in Broad street
this morning, was the occasion of an almost
disgraceful exhibition of curiosity on the part
of those who seemed determined TO see, for the
last time, woman who had possessed more
than ordinary personal beauty and whose re-
cent separation from her husband, at an alleged
cost of $2500, had excited very general COM
ment. Other events, connected with her single
life, had also given her name considerable
prominence, and the false report that she had
poisoned herself by an overdose of arsenic
taken to beautify her complexion did not de-
tract from the sensational character of her life
and death. The announcement of her death
was made by her friends as that OF Marie 4.
Hesse-her maiden name-while Immediately
underneath 1t appeared another notice, pre-
pared and paid for by her husband or his friends
in which she was spoken of as the wife of j..
Nelson Rose, Jr" The first notice informed the
friends of deceased that her remains could be
seen at her late residence, No. S41 Broad street,
from 8 to 10 o'clock this morning.
Consequently, before the first mentioned hour
had arrived the late residence of deceased was
literally besieged by friends and curious persons,
and by half-past eight o'clock the throng-
mostly women-had become SO great that 1t Was
found necessary to summon assistance from the
pelled to term an inward and an outward line,
and thus put q stop to the crowdtng and dis
graceful jostling which followed the attempt OF
hundreds to get through narrow hall at once.
After Officer Wyman arrived, and took his
position at the front door, 1t was found
necessary to forbid ingress to all unit
the crowd who had become packed
inside the house could have an opportunity tC
pass out. With much difficulty owing TO the
| eagerness of the two or three hundred womer
outside the door-those inside were enabled II
get out, and then the waiting thr0ng, whict
| kept constantly increasing, were permitted u
pass in, walk around the corpse, which lay in al
| upper room, and pass o1t again by the same
route they entered, only keeping to the left anC
| passing the in-comers Oh the right. In this wa,
| at least two thousand women end several hun
dred men obtained glimpse of Ghe coffin ant
corpse and new comers were still arrivin!
when it was found necessary TO close the doc
| to all.
1t is understood that the elaborate arrange
ments for this notable funeral Tere made D.
deceased during her last hours. Mr.. Rose, tn
| husband, from whom she had been som
months separated, was present ut the funeral
and it is said that he intends to coates
the will by which his vile has devised SOM
| $50, 900 to her parents.

SPAIN.
The Loan Adopted by the Cortes-MOtive for
the Recent Agitation.


the Recent Agitation.
MADRID, March 20. - Notwithstanding the
vigorous opposition of the Union Liberals and
the Republicans to the bill for the sale of the
Treasury bonds the Cortes have adopted it by
10 against 3S. But the Minister made an i'm
portant concession to the opposition. He pro-
missed to present in few days bill for the sale
of the mines of Rio Terrific, Almaden, and
Torrevieja by means of public auction, which
will be announced six months beforehand.
These two last resources of Spain will suffice
TO alleviate for year the burdens of the eXche-
quer, but afterwards, If the situation of the
country is in no wise improved, there will be
nothing remaining but to sell the State woods
which will fetch about $50 OOOO 900 or 400 100000
Of reals,
At the bottom OF all the political agitation
which is manifesting itself in Madrid, there is
one most important question, never mentioned
in the papers but which, nevertheless, remains
no longer q secret.
The Union Liberals, seeing that the Republi-
cans had struck, through SenOr CASTELAR,,
dangerous blow at General Prim and all the
Ministry, in consequence Of their hesitation to
give their attention 10 the questions on the Greer
of the day, thought the opportunity had arrived
for riedng themself of General Prlm and his
colleagues and as the question of the loan fur
nished them with a favorable ground fer their
maneuvres, the Liberal Union commenced at
once hostilities against the Ministry, with con-
fdent expectations of victory, and hopes
OF taking themselves the reins of government.
General Prim saw at once that if the Carlists
and the Republicans voted with the Liberals
against the bill he would be in danger of seeing
himself forced to retire. consequently, he looked
towards the Radicals, to whom he gave the
promise that, If they would grant him their sup
port he would break with the Liberals and
introduce all the bills in suspen sion since severa
months on account of the opposition they had
encountered on the part of the Liberals, whose
sympathy he was then anxious to gain. AS ye
this has proved no empty promise.
The Cortes will discus shortly the bill on civi
marriages, and on the register of the clvi
status, held up till now by the priests exclu
sively. The proposed reforms in the crimina
and civil codes, and thosein the code de proce

hence to 400 cars per day. From the fore
going some idea may be formed of the loss to
tue COMPANY by the disaster but there are
other losses, if any one desires to look at the
matter from a money point of view. There
are the expenses of putting out the fire, of the
search (Which caused q stoppage of work for
n week at all the mines of the company, and
a consequent loss of production), and the pro-
fit on the 10000 tons of coal which Avondale
would have produced in the seven months
which have elapsed. But how infinitely trivial
is this money estimate when compared with
the loss of human life which the affair entailed
Who can compute the value of that?
