BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-Wednesday last,
near Fish Springs, u most brutal out
rage was committed by two orutes OF
men, haillng from Bishop Creek, upon
two young Indian girls, the younger
not over twelve years of age. AS tho
attempt was made within hearing Of
several houses In the neighborhood,
the screams of the victims were plainly
heard BY n number of white men, but
not understanding the cause, they
only reached the ground In tine to
see the villains mount their horses and
ride away. The mother ofthe younger
girl attempted to rescue them, as did
some other Indian women, several OF
whom showed evidences Of mal-treat-
ment. The face of the younger girl
was much swollen and laccrated.
This outrage was committed In broad
day, almost under the eyes of half a
dozen white men ; but who could not
imagine that such a crime was being
committed, but supposed that It was
children playing or some difficulty
among themselves. These people are
peaceable aud we'll behaved, and are
Constantly at work for some Of the
farmers, and justice calls for tho In

lawless wretches a lesson. San QUEEN

miscreant who would commit such an
outrage upon an Indian girl because
he thinks her unprotected, would 90

A STORY Is told OF the irrepresslble
Barnum which exhibits In a striking
light the happy faculty Of illustration
which tho great Snowman displays
when engaged in the ~avocation Of a
lecturer. Mr.. Barnum recently de-
llvered a temperance lecture in Buff
falo. BY q remarkable coincidence,
his great show was to be In the same
city OH the following day. Among
the audience gathered to hear the lee
ture was an individual both drunk and
noisy. Him Mr.. Barnum singled out
as a shocking example Of the fearful
results Of intemperance, and, after
producing a thrilling sensation by his
adroit use of the incident, had tho in
toxicated subject of his remarks quietly
removed from the assemblage. The
most curious part Of the story, how
ever, Is that when Barnum's show left
town the shocking example was driy-
Ing one of tho cages. 1t Is probable
that Mr.. Barnum's timely admonition
had effected the poor fellows reform ;
but scoffers wickedly insinliate that he
Is the same gifted individual who, in
tho guise Of a green countryman, and
In a condition Of simulated ebriety,
daily astonishes visitors to tho show
by his wonderful exploits In riding
the educated mules.

. Murder fer seven,y.Five Cents..
from the New York Standard.


William Grinder, Of Port Morris,
N. j., was recently lodged In the
County jail at Morristown, charged
with having murdered Hiram Dean
Foster in a fight at Port Morris on the
night preceding. 1t appears from the
statement of Lewis l.. Waldron, n
carpenter, who witnessed the aifray,
that Grinder, who is the proprietor Of
a saloon in Port Morris, quarreled
with Foster about seventy-iye cents,
which Grinder claimed to be due him.
Angry words led finally to threats,
and ended In q tragedy. Waldron's
statement, given In his own language,
Is rs follows: 49,.

Ing Grinders shanty, and saw four or
five men come up two men named
Burns and Murray went in; they had
n dispute Murray got a quart OF whis-
XIV and came out, being followed by a
boy named John P~ingerton, who had
q pistol in his hand, and threatened to
shoot Murray If he did not bring back
the whisky. The boys mother then
came out and took the pistol from him.
She afterward gave 1t to Grinder, who
turned and shot Foster. He then
turned and fred at Burns, but the lat
ter caught his arm and escaped the
shot. Foster lived about half an hour.
The only words he said were, "You
have shot me-" g
Grinder was Immediately arrested,
and was afterward taken to jail at
Morrlstown. Detective Dewitt after
ward arrested the boy Plngerton. and
also secured the pistol with which the
murder was committed.

years old, and bore a good reputation.

From tho Pittsburg Post, November ist.,

From the PittsburR Post, November list.
Yesterday morning q man giving bis
name as A. l.. Vernon called at the
Mayors office, and requested Clerg
Patterson, In the absence Of His Honor,
to procure him transportation to st.
Louis, on his homeward way to Col
orado. His story Is a very sorrowful
one, and Is doubtless truthful. For
five years he and two other men,
named Dlckerson and Russell, had
been engaged In mining q claim stu
ated about $50 miles west of Denver
and In that time their joint savings
amounted to $1S, 900 In gold dust, two
thirds of which belonged to Vernon.
Some weeks ago the mines were sold,
and the three started East to dispose
of their gold. They purchased tickets
for New York via Baltimore, and,
arriving In the Monumental City In
the evening, concluded to pass the
night there and then 20 on In the
morning. The three roomed together,
and In the morning Mr.. Vernon found
that his companions had deserted him,
carrying with them his $4,000. As
may we'll be supposed, the poor fellow
was much distressed al. his loss, re-
marking of Dlckerson, at the Mayors
office, with a pathos that Bret Harte
might borrow to advantage, that he
had 'slept under the snow and gone
through hard times with that man, and
I thought l could trust him." The
case was put in charge Of Baltimore
and New York detectives, but they
were unable to effect the arrest Of the
thieves or recover the gold dust. Mr..
Vernon's money was soon expended
In the hunt, and ho finally determined
to return to Colorado, where he had
left his wife and two children. He
was passed on his way free to this city
by police authorities In the East, and
here transportation was furnished him
to st. Louis. Letters from the Chiefs
of Police Of New York and Philadcl-
phia fully corroborate these state
menka.

In his rope-walking which shall finish

given at the Crystal Palace at Syden-
ham Ut had not como of at last &C

rope were to be covered with fireworks
from the ground to the top. When oil
these were going, Blondin was to walk
forth on the rope bearing q great piece
of pyrotechny, weighing 300 pounds"
which he would forthwith. proceed to
discharge from "the altitude in the
centre Of the rope. At the same time
shells and mines were to be exploded
In every direction, and the advertise
ment announces with much gusto that
Blondin twill thus be encircled with
fire for nearly ten minutes" This Is
a barbarous performance for the nine
tenth century.

Mr.. BARTHOLOMEW CLIEEoRp CALVIN

for two million dollars, on the ground
that the Secretary Of the Treasury has
stolen his ideas In the management Of
the country's finances. Such a claim
Is absurd on the face Of 1t, II for no
other reason than that Mr.. Boutwell,
never takes anybody's ideas on finan-
cial matters. This Mr.. Calvin, accord
ing to the Springfield Republican, Is
one Of many gentlemen who have in
vented financial plans and lost their
wits In the process. He Is an English
Irishman, who claims to have been en-
ployed by the Earrings as a financial
investigator, and who for nearly two
years has been infiicting upon the Sec
rotary a scheme for equalizing gold
and greenbacks and giving the Gov
eminent the entire control Of the
money market, all In less than thirty
days time. He has not met with the
consideration and attention that he ex-
pected, and hence his suit.
