PARSONS, Ks, Aug. 11.-A dispatch re-
ceived here from the Indian country to-day
says the Downing Ross party have beaten
the Reformers, but Bell has obtained letters
written by Ross and Jones to Washington,
showing treachery to the principles Of the
party. The full bloods are said to be indig-
nant and aroused, and that Ross and Jones
must 60 to the bush to save their lives. It
is also asserted that the death sentence has
been passed by certain Indians on Col. Bon
dinot, James Bell and others of the pro-
gressive and reform party. There Is no
question but that anarchy and crime is
largely on the increase and many of the
best men in the locality begin to believe
their only safety lies IN strong central ter
ritorial form of government under the pro-
lection ofsthe United States.
Kansas Changers.
The Changers will met in this city on the
1st Sept. for a grand council and consulta-
ton upon questions affecting the interest of
the State. Fifteen thousand farmers will
be present.
The Eight Hour Move.
New YORK, Aug. 11.-The Tribune
furnishes the following: The various
Trade Unions are making arrangements in
a general way to hold mass meeting in
September to discuss the present aspects of
the labor movement and endeavor, if posi-
bic, to bring about a more general obser-
vance of the eigh. hour rule. The work
ingmen complain that little by little the
observance of eight hours as a days work is
being disregarded by employers. Some
workmen are in favor of a general strike
and wish to have those who are working
eight hours cease altogether until employers
who are unwilling to grant reduction of
hours of labor shall be brought to terms.
This has been announced as absurd by
those trades whose numbers and orgsniza-
tions have compelled general observance
of the eight hour rule by their employers.
Nothing definite has yet been determined.

WAWASSETT.
The Potomac Horror Intensifies.
The List of Victims Swells to 20.


The River Crabs FeastIng on the
Dead.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-The funeral of
four members of the Reid family: lost on
the steamer Wawassett, took place this af-
ternoon.
Many of those recovered to-day had been
partially eaten by crabs, and were badly
disfgured. The latest estimate of the
number of those lost on the Wawassett is
that it will reach seventy at least. Many of
these will in all probability not be identi-
fed, particularly in the case of the colored
persons who fell victims to the disaster.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Supervis-
ing Inspector of steamboats, will commence
Wednesday full investigation into the
burning of the Wawassett. The number
of bodies already recovered Is 81.
The Stars special correspondent at Chat
tertop's Landing gives an account of the
trip from here to there. This report states
that boatmen living on the line of the river
say the screams of the women and children
could be heard for miles. On the way up
to ChatLerton's several bodies of colored
men and women were passed, which had
been dragged ashore the night before.
A Young Lady's story.
Miss Mcpherson, passenger, described
the scene on the burning boat as most hor-
rible to witness. The flames burst out all
around and swept aft, driving the women
and children over into the water. She saw
four little children hanging on by their
hands to the burning steamer and one after
another drop into the water, the flames
driving them off. The colored people were
perfectly wild, and no remonstrance on
the part of the Off; ers was needed. They
jumped into the boat, piling it full, and de-
clared it was the colOred peoples boat, re-
fusing sill whites admission. Whenit went
down all were dumped into the water to-
gether, and many others followed, being
pushed overheard. The flames burst into
the main deck, setting fire to the clothing of
the women and children who were hoping
for some relief, but no one could pass the
gaDgway for the flames.
A Negroes Statement.
Hiram Smith, colored, states that he was
present and witnessed the loss of the life
boat. As soon as she was lowered to the
maindeck, the colored men took possession
of her by force and no threats or persuasions
of the officers could prevent them. The
boat was heaped full Of baggage and men,
and he saw yellow man cut the bow rope,
when she fell headlong down with such
force as to tear out the stern because of
the dayit holding that end, and all in her
sunk.
RObbing the Dead.
One Of the worst features among the
shore scenes yesterday was the disposition
among both white and colored stragglers to
plunder and rob the dead. Several instsn-
ces of this kind were noticed, but could not
be prevented by McClelland, who alone was
authorized to take charge of the valuables
found. Owing to the long extent of the
shore many of the bodies could not be
reached by him until they had beeen rifled
and the guilty parties had escaped.

THE RAILROADS.


The City of st. Louis DefyiDg Tom

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 11.--Some weeks since
the City Council passed an ordinance re-
Quiring the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
Co. to remove its track on Poplar street,
from 7th street depot TO the levee, within a
certain time. That time expired yesterday.
As they would not comply with the ordi-
nance, the acting Mayor, E. G. Smith, and
Engineer Moulton with gang of laborers,
tore up the rails in several places this eve
ming. This action will probably be fol-
lowed by a suit by the Railroad Co. for
damages, they claiming the right, under the
charter, to lay and maintain track on GER
tain streets in the city.

in shallow tins. Flavor to taste.
RICE PUDDING and oneshalf

A DELICIOUS dressing for fowls is
made by spreading pieces of stale but
tender wheaton bread literally with
butter, and seasoning rather highly with
salt and pepper, working them into the
butter q little; then dip the bread In
wine, and use it in as large pieces as Is
convenient to stuff the bird. The de.
licious flavor which the wine gives is
very penetrating, and gives to the fowl
rich gamey character which is very
pleasant.

1t is worth while for ladies to pay
attention to this, and insist upon hav.
ing their summer dresses washed
according to the directions which they
should be prepared to give their laun-

linen should be washed in water in

to answer for starch as well, and is ex-
ccllent for print dresses of all kinds;

mas sprung up with q similar object.
though the means of attaining the lat :
Ter are not the same. The scene of
action, too, is different, being In this

these establishments are certain indi-
viduals who, for the modest sum of two
OF three francs a night, engage TO in
dulge IN hilarious and contagious
merrlment, and at particular couplets
supposed to be more than usually com
&c, to split their sides with laughter.
but mere routine is occasionally rather

He did so. In another instant he was

4 Pleasing IncidenL of lhe MAR.

The Richmond Enquirer, speaking
of General w, H. Lyle, of Ohio, killed
while attempting to reinforce General
Thomas, in 1863. uses the following
language " He was killed, far in adj
vance of his com mand, while calamity
leading an assault upon our lines, and

captured. So soon az it was known
that the author of that rare poem, as
familiar and as greatly admired South

lay dead III the camp. officers aud men
crowded around to take last look az
the face OF The poet soldier who had
achieved so great literary triumph.
There was no rejoicing over the death
OF this fallen enemy; but there was in
truth something ON each soldiers cheek
that for the moment washed away the
stains of powder. Tenderly they took
him up, and when the battle was over
an escort of honor, appointed from
ariong the leading Confederate officers,
bore him back to his own camp, under
flag of truce, on rudely constructed
funeral bier, with his martial cloak
around him. In life he had touched
that chord of human sympathy which
makes all the world kin-and i'll death
its harmonious vibrations silenced all
resentment. and thrilled the hearts
alike of friends and foes with a nobler
passion than hatred or revenge
