summary vengeance. Twelve o CLOCK,
and no runner in sight as far as the
eye couldreach. Carson thought his
hour had come, as preparations were
made; and, we'll knowing the terms
would be complied with, he called
Sandivere and told him he would
like to have talk with him before
his men were shot Carson and
Sandivere commenced their talk, c.
in the meantime walking slowly and
leisurely from the camp, telling the
chief that the horses, saddles,
blankets, etc, were all donated or
willed to him, the great chief, and
that he was not compelled, on ac-
count of this donation, to divide
them among his warriors.
The chief was very much interest
ed and pleased with this donation,
and by this time they were eighty to
one hundred yards from the Indian
camp, when Carson, with the dex-
terity of an old mountaineer, pulled
from his bootleg an ugly looking
holster pistol, cooked and presented
it directly in the face of the old
chief, exclaiming:
Stand, sir. you are my prisoner. !"
"What do you mean?" asked
Sandivere.
Il mean just what L say-if you
move one inch you are a dead man"
The Indians seeing their chief in
danger started to his rescue, but
Carson told him to motion his men
back or he would shoot him on the
spot The old chief. we'll knowing
the man he had to deal with, instantly
complied and motioned his men
back. Carson then told him to Or
der up his y men with their horses
just as he had received them, and
Leo with them. This was instantly
complied with
Carson then mounted the old chief
behind one of his men and started
for Captain Prices camp, where
Sandivere found things as represented
by Carson. The runner had been
there, but had lost his trail, which
had caused the delay. Captain Price
gave the chief many presents and
escorted him to his tribe. He ever
afterwards was true friend to the
whites, and in many instances did
very valuable service. Thus, by the
GOODNESS, cunning and downright
bravery of Bob Carson, this devoted
band of twelve brave men We're
rescued from certain death. Par
ties right here were with Carson at
that time and can vouch for the truth
of the above statement.

HIS PURPosE.-''Now gentlemen, y
said a peripatetic lecturer to a some
what noisy crowd who had gathered
to one of his seances in an Eastern
village, chow would you like a good
blackguard story? All in favor will
raise their hands" Nine-tenths Of
the dexter paws present instantly
went up, and there was a sudden
hush of all noisy demonstrations
The lecturer went on with his orr
ginal subject for a few minutes,
when some incautious individual
broke out with, Say, where's that
story?' ''Bless you, was the reply,
Il didn't intend to tell any such
story. l only wanted to know how
many blackguards are present. You
might have heard a pin drop any
time during the lecture after that.

SCRANTON, PA.
slight Sinking OF Land.

SCRANTON, November PA slight
sinking of land over Pine Brook mine,
in this city, occurred yesterday, causing
no damage of consequence, however.
The sensational dispatches sent to some
OF the papers are not justified by the
facts, which are as follows: Years ago
a large plot in the outskirts Of the city
was purposely robbed OF all its pillars
and support with the view OF sinking
the entire surface. Some acres Of this
ground sunk about ten years ago and
has become quite solid, and the remain
der OF this plot must fall in time. There
are only a lew buildings on the whole
tract. and they are cheap frames, built
with the knowledge that the land was,
at no distant day, expected to cave in.
The main portion Of Scranton is not
undermined and never can be, as there
are vaults in the coal measure extend
ing from Staffords Meadow Brook on
the south to Providence to the north.
The damage by the sinking OF the Ok
ford mine, in Hyde Park, has been
greatly exaggerated. The effect on the
surface by the fall in the Pine Brook
mine is hardly perceptible. Even if the
coal measures were not perfect under
Scranton proper the surface is too val
liable for building purposes to warrant
any one in assuming the responsibility
Of removing the cual.

GRAND DUKE ALEXIS.
He Visits AnuapOIls.

ANNAPOLIS, November 24.-The spe.
cial train from Washington, conveying
the Grand Duke and party to the Naval
School mere, arrived at 10 A. N. Be-
sides the Prince there were on the train
Secretary Robeson, the Russian Admi-
raj Poissett, Minister Catacazy, NJ.
Mechip, Counselor OF State; Count
Alsonfuff and Count Stanvanoff, aides
to the Grand Duke; DR.. Cudsin and
Lieutenant Tuber, also Of his staff and
Mr.. Danzas, First Secretary of Legation
in the United States. The naval Off
GERS were Commodores Case, Rodgers
and Mullaney, Paymaster General Dunn
and Surgeon General Foultz. On ar
irving at the depot the party was
received by Captain Carter, commander
of the midshipmen, and Lieutenant
Colonel Ames, in full uniform, who were
awaiting their arrival. The day was
dark and lowering, gentle but steady
rain having set in an hour previous.
Owing to the rain and an apparent
scarcity OF umbrellas, there were but
few persons gathered at the depot.
The Prince and party entered an
elegant carriage, which had been
brought down from Baltimore for the
special occasion, and we're slowly driven
to the naval grounds. On arriving at
the middle gate they were received by
a battalion of marines in full dress,
under command of Major General F.
R. Fendall, with orders topresent arms.
The full naval band, stationed on the
right Of the marines, played the Russian
national air, and at the same moment
salute OF twenty-one guns thundered
from a howitzer battery on the play
ground, where battalion o. cadets
were drawn up. Without halting they
were driven to the Superintendent s
headquarters, where they were received
BY Commodore Worden, Superintendent
Of the Naval Academy, and the officers
of the school in full uniform, about
thirty in number. The Prince was
introduced to Commodore Worden by
Secretary Robeson, and by the Commo,
dore to the officers. A brief interval of
ceremonies was passed in the parlor OF
the Superintendent in conversation
among the officers, during which Mrs.
Worden, wife OF the Commodore, Miss
Worden and Miss Bancroft, OF New
York, were presented to the Prince.
The party then proceeded to the pa
rade ground, where a battalion OF cadet
midshipmen, under command Of Lieut.
Silvey, were drawn upin line and went
through the usual military drill and
parade, saluting the Grand Duke as
they marched past. During these ex,
ercises the rain continued to fall, the
Imperial Prince and staff and other
officers, all in full dress uniform, taking
it as coolly as common mortals The
parade being over, the gunship Santee
was visited, where a national salute OF
twenty. one guns was fired. After pass
ing through the ship, the visitors in
spected the various departments of the
Academy, the steam building, philoso.
phic department and all the others OF
interest. In the ordinance museum,
the battle flags captured in Corea were
objects Of special interest. The inspec'
ton Of this department being over, the
partv, at 1890 P. NJ, returned to the
quarters of the commander.

Fortunes and MisfOrtaaes.

A rather singular instance OF the
extremes OF fortune comes from the
Pacific slope. One OF the early
pioneers OF San Francisco was William
Ellis, a printer by trade. By his
industry be accumulated quite sum OF
money, which he sent to his wife in
Chicago, to be by her invested in real
estate. In 1854 property in the latter
place took a sudden rise, and Ellis
became wealthy. So he returned 10
Chicago, where he resided until recently.
when be took it into his head to
revisit San Francisco, taking with
him his wife, who was sufferer from
pulmonary ailments. Soon after his
arrival the Chicago fire occurred.
whereby he was heavy loser.
While preparing to return home his
wife died. To complete his ill.luck he
was a passenger on a train which was
thrown from the track. whereby he
was severely injured, and he now lies
in the hospital at Sacramento.
