ST. LOUIS, June 1s.-Judge Hubbei,
general agent Of the Atlantic and Paci-
he railroad, has just returned from q
business tour through Texas, bringing
information, that before leaving
Roman, Texas, an army officer arrived
there from Fort Richmond, Jack
county, and reported that a body of
Indians, variously estimated from three
to ten thousand, made an ineursion into
Texas, and were Overrunning Young,
Jack, Denton, and Parker counties, and
the settlers are filed with CONSERVATION
and alarm The Indians, it is said were
going to Huntsville to liberate Sautanta
and Big Tree, confined in the State
prison there. 1t Is also reported that all
the Indians on the Fort Sill Reserva-
ton had left on the war path, and that
already two fights had occurred near
Weatherford, in which four whites were
wounded, two Indians killed and two
captured, the latter were Il 1ged in the
Weatherford Jail. The commanding
officer at Fort Richmond is said to have
gone to Austin to consult with General
Auger regarding the invasion, and the
latter is reported to have telegraphed
for two more cavalry regiments to re-
port Immediately at points threatened
by the raiders. Judge Hubbel says there
is no doubt in the minds Of well in
formed Texans that a big Indian war is
at hand, and that many settlers are
leaving their homes. 1t is believed that
the Kiowas are the Leaders in the raid,
assisted by the Apsehes and others.

CHAMPION SWINDLERS.
Raid eR Georgia Understandable
Success OF Confidence Men.

From the Charleston Is. c. News
The additional details furnished by
late Georgia exchanges of the wholesale
swindles upon the banks of Savannah,
Macon and Augusta prove them
to have been conducted with remarka-
ble adroitness and skill. The operations
appear TO have been simultaneous, and
of course concerted, and three members
of the gang have been arrested; but
whether the money they obtained from
the banks will be recovered Is not Yea
known. In Augusta the yictimiZed in
stitutiOn was the Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company. Last Monday
morning a stranger Of respectable ap-
pearance and business-like demeanOr,
giving his name as George Holmes,
called at the bank and presented to the
President a sllillfully forged letter of in
PRODUCTION from the President of the Ma
tiOnal Bank OF the Republic of New
York, and an equally well executed GER
tificate of deposit in the same bank Of
nine thousand one hundred dollars.
Both documents We're subjected to the
usual careful scrutiny, and appearing to
be all right, the certificate was promptly
cashed, and the swindler went on his
way rejoicing. The certificate was sent,
in the ordinary course of business, to the
New York hank, and on Friday dis
patch was received from there saying
that il was forged, and the Augusta
Banking Company opened their eyes to
the Uncomfortable fact that they had
been quietly swindled OUT of over nine
thousand dollars The description of
thesyindle was Immediately telegraphed
10 various parts Of the country, and he
was arrested IN Montgomery, Alabama.
The Georgia Central Bank of Macon
was also swindled on the same day, and
in precisely the same manner. out of
six thousand five hundred dollars, by
one Bennett, who, with a supposed ac-
complies, giving his name as George
Morris, has since been arrested and held
for trial in Macon. The third victim Of
this remarkable series Of fOrgeries was
the Merchants National Bank Of Sa-
Vannah. There the swindler gave his
name as Thomas c. Holmes, and pre-
scented a certificate Of deposit from the
Bank of the Republic, New York, which
he desired To be cashed; and when in
formed that he would have to be identi-
fed, he pleasantly remarked that he had
provided for that contingency, and pro-
duced letter from the cashier of the
bank mentioned, certifying to his sigma
tUe, and Introducing him to the banks
in this section as a prominent merchant
and man of means. A comparison of
signatures apparently proved that every
thing was right, and the check, which
was for the nice little sum of nine thou
sand dollars, was cashed with pleasure.
The swindler then left on the Atlantic
and Gulf railroad, but is believed to be
The same man who has turned M and
been arrested at Macon under the name
of George Morris. Since the arrest of
Bennett and Morris iOr Holmes) a dis
patch has been received from Chief Nc
DOnOugh. Of the st. Louis police, saying
that they have been committing forge
ries on the banks in that city, and re-
questing that they be held until an Of
ticer could be sent from there.

ASSAULT ON DIR. THOMPSON.
Investigation OF the Recent Assault on q
Methodist Minister in Cincinnati
Outrageous Proceeding

CINCINNATI, June I7.-Rev. J. j.
Thompson, the Methodist minister from
Leavenworth, who had his skull broken
by hatchet in the hands of Thomas l..
Bond, to-day, is doing well tonight,
with a prospect of recovery. Mr..
Thompson resided here several years SIS
pastor of the Christian Chapel Methodist
Church. His reputation was not only
unstained, but he was universally be-
loved. The affair Of to-day has caused
much excitement, and the various YER
sions Of it are widely at variance with
the truth, and with each other, that have
been set afloat. A full investigation Of
it by impartial men arrives at the Opin-
ion that Bond performed the deed in a
fit of jealousy. Bond was an employe
of the gas works, in a subordinate Ca
pacity, and boarded with Afrs. Sallie
Shingledecker, a widow lady. At her
house, Mr.. Thompson states, that last
Saturday evening be took tea with Mrs
Shingledecker, who had been one of his
parishioners several years ago. He had
lust arrived on brief visit. Bond was
present during the visit. To-day, he
says, he called again and found Mrs.
Shingledecker alone. He staid twenty
minutes and left. While at the door,
Bond, whom he did not know, rushed
upon him and made an assault with a
hatchet while ne was in the act of
shaking hands with the young lady.
He said Bond was concealedin the back
yard; MTs. Shingledecker makes the
same statement. She SAYS on Saturday
she kissed Mr.. Thompson in the pres
ence of Bond when he arrived at her
house, but only shook hands with him
to-day. She says Bond proposed to
marry her, and she refused him. Bond
is about fOrty-five years old. He has
been arrested, and makes extravagant
statements about his own relations with
Mrs. Shingledecker. Mrs. Single
decker's maiden name was Stevens. She
has been married twice. 1t appears that
she and Bond both were members Of the
Methodist Church. In the excitement
of the affair there has been confusion
OF names Of the parties concerned. The
above are correct.

Explosion Of the TOOmbs by NltrO.GIy-
cerine.

A few days ago at Atlanta, Hon. Rob
ert FooRfts, Of Georgia, uncOrked his
lOng-bOttled elOquence, and mankind
were shattered and amazed. He pro-
claimed himself Bn outlaw and an en-
emy of the. government, and among
other f6hhy things said:
Gas to Greeley and Grant, with one
exception, ! would support old John
Browns ghost, if / could maintain
Democratic principles and popular rights.
/ would support the devil in preference
to either of them, because when YOU
support the devil you support a very re-
spectacle antagonist. He is not a cow
ard. He fought God Almighty a very
respectable fight, and he fights him a
pretty tough fight till now-sO the story
goes i'm Revelations.
AS TO me, i put my politics upon one
section of Magma ChaTta. No man shall
be imprisoned, found guilty or exiled
unless by the decision of Judge, and
the verdict of jury, according to the
laws Of the land. The laws that he
makes, and viii accept laws from no
othersSSO Gar as the government Of the
United States is concerned, / am its en-
emy. / have trod under foot that
Haunting lie a hundred times, and
trusFto DO il again. Theyare no friends
of mine or OF my eounTy-they are no
friends of liberty.
"What's the difference between these
people? Grants a soldier, a sort of fool,
but he loves his friends, sticks to his kin,
his kith. Laughter. But Greeley loves
nObody-don't even love his wife, and is
woIaall's S rights man. HG is woman's
rights man, and ] wouldn'S vote for him
for no other reason. That's what's the
matter with Hannah
"If the women only had the right kind
of h0sbands there would be no wOman's
rights men. Laughter and applause. ]
They saya great deal about his Oldwhite
hat and old coat. His white hat is his
greatest distinction.
/" / tell you one thing. I said TO an
Augusta man, yOG abuse Atlanta. Why?
Where did Bullock come from? From
Augusta, my own District. Where did
COnley, and BlOdgett, and Eph. Tweed
come nom? Why, from Augusta. And
l hope we sent all the rouges we had
They all gathered here in Atlanta, for
where the carTiOn is the crows will

Vultures. You did not raise one Of them
on your sell; but take the hard-fisted
men OF THIS town, ana Lhere Is not
people in the world who show a mag
nanimity grander than the common men
Of Atlanta.
''Now, fellow-citizens, I don't know
where this Is going to; with all rever-
ence 1 say it, I leave it with God. I
know my duty; to do justly; to MAIN
tain free government; to maintain pub
lie institutions; to fight towards and
IL 81,
Of the Constitution, and fight under the
principles Of eight centuries. 1t is true,
pirates are aboard in the Grants; rogues

GENEVA. aH3iH
Progress Of the Arbitration
Great Britain Demands an
Eight-MOnfhs' Adjonrns z e
ment.


New YORK, June ia special from
Geneva SAYS the English are resOlute for
an eight-mOnths' adjournment, and the
indications are that If this is not granted
she will withdraw from arbitration.
This the Americans viii not concede,
though a shorter adjournment might be
accepted. Very little business was
transacted before the board to-day be-
sides the announcement by Mr.. Davis OF
the nOn-reception Of instructions from
his government. There is some reason
to believe that the main difficulty in ar
hitration has been found, and basis
reached on which II is possible to con
| tinue arbitration The English agents
received, on Sunday night, a long dis
patch ffom their government, and subse-
/ quently a meeting and long conversa-
! ton took place between Sir ROUNDED
! Palmer and William NJ. Evarts.
The news has been published here that
| Granville had stated in the House OF
Lords that the English agents would
present a summary Of the English 6rgu-
ment before the Board; but Granville's 8
subsequent explanation Is not generally
known, and this statement therefore
greatly mystified both sides, as no sum-
mary has been presented. The English
agents are wondering how such summa-
~ could be presented without their
knowledge Of the meeting between Pal
mer and Evarts. This was explained,
and distinct understanding had upon
other points of the dispatch.
The different members are making
preparations TO stay considerable Pc
riod, with the general view Of the Court
against a pOstponement for eight
months. -
1t is believed that if the President Of
the United States was disposed to go
farther in regard to the supplementary
article, he could finish it in few weeks.
He will not do so, and it is therefore re-
garded as unlikely that there will be any
change in the American position; and
members of the Court are evidently
giving the whole business their most
serious care, and dealing with the mat
ter in a manner so that their action may
not in the slightest embarrass either
party. If the Court should make any
suggestion, it is believed it will be some
thing in the nature of a compromise;
but at present that tribunal merely lis
tens to the statements Of both sides.
