THE MODOC WAR.

SAN FRANCISCO, May IA despatch from
Yreka toni 2ht says the Modocs are in another
rocky fortress, which they are making still
stronger. The troops will not attack them be-
fore the arrival of achievements. The new
position is about twenty miles south of their
last stronghold.
G. Burgess has seen Bogus Charlie on the
klamath, who said he knew nothing about the
contemplated massacre of the commissioners,
and that there were thirty Modocs left, who
would fight until the last man was killed.
Seventy five men will be retained in camp to
guard the stores until the arrival of reinforce
mentS.
Lieut. Harris died in the camp at the lava
beds May 18th. Surgeon Semig is recovering.
NEW YORK, May ia lava bed despatch of
the 18th says that Gems. Davis and Gillem in
crossing lula Lake the previous evening during
heavy gale, had narrow escape from drown
ing. the boat becoming unmanageable.
The present force at the command of Gen.
Davis is not considered sufficient to make sue
cessful attack on the Modocs in their new
stronghold but the General will endeavor to
hold the Indians where they now are. and await
reinforcements, which, with mortars are hurry
ing forward, and are expected in few days.
The troops are suffering from want of water
Willow Creek is the nearest stream, but the
Modocs are between it and the troops.
The Modocs have their families with them
and it is not thought they will seek to leave
their present position until they have made pro-
uision for the safety of the women and chill
dren. Their loss in the fight of Saturday was
ammunition and clothing were captured, and
about two tons of provi, ions were destroyed.
The Modocs entered the fight stripped to their
kreech clouts, but could not resist the Warm
Springs, who trotted into the fight and ran the
Modocs past their plumber, retaining ALL

THUsDAY.-United States vs. James McIhnchy.
Action to recover damages laid at Slo,ooo against
McGlinchy for defrauding the Internal Revenue of
the tax on $4,000 worth of whiskey. The jury were
instructed by consent of counsel to return verdict
Of twice the value of the liquor claimed. The jury
returned verdict of s24oo. The case will be carried
up the higher court on legal questions. The prn-
cpal point involved in this case is that the LIQUORS
were not imported. One Stanwood took the LIQUORS
in barrels from a bond warehouse in Boston and
brought them by vessel to the waters off Portland
where they were transferred to another vessel and
brought to Portland and sold to the defendant.

THE GALLONS.


MoRR1sTowN, N. j., May 15.-At the close
of the prayers, Father Shecran kissed him and
a constable drew the cap over his face. Instan-
taneous the Sheriff placed his foot on the spring
and with thud the $50 pounds at the end Of
the rope fell into hole dug for the purpose,
and Lusgnani was jerked six feet into the air.
A crucifx which he held in his right hand was
retained nearly forty seconds, hen the mus
cles relaxed and the crucifx fell. His legs
were drawn up several times but otherwise
there were no contortions of the body. At the
end of two minutes, the pulse beats were 40
per minute; in four minutes 120 and in seven
and half the pulsation had ceased entirely.
The body was allowed to hand Twenty-Five
minutes when it was lowered into plain but
neat coffin of stained wood. AS soon as the
body was cut down, the Priest of Morristown
asked to have the possession of it, but was told
the doctors must first certify the cause of DEATH
Father Vasselo strenuously objected and told
the Jail physician he would prosecute him if he
touched the body. This having no effect he
declared that Priests would not receive the
body if cut or mutilated, and that 1t could not
be buried in Catholic cemetery.
The doctors refusing certificate, the coro-
ner ordered an examination and it was found
that death was caused by strangulatOn and not
by distortion of the neck as was supposed.
The body now lies in the cell, awaiting burial,
and if not claimed will be buried by the coun-
ty authorities The execution occupied but
five minutes from the time Lusignani entered
the Jail yard until he was hung.

PLEASANT GATHERING.-The friends of Rev.
Israel Luce, connected with Chestnut street
church and congregation, met at his house on
Wednesday evening to celebrate the fifteenth
anniversary Of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs.
Luce The house was literally packed, and a
more pleasant gathering we have never attend
ed. Substantial evidences of their regard for
their late pastor and family were left to the
amount of about $500, S122 of which was in
money, and the balance in silver ware and
household goods. Mr.. Luce in the three years
that he has been pastor of this church, has en-
deared himself to the hearts of this people as
few pastors have ever done, and in the broader
field to which he is now appointed, as Presid-
ing Elder of Portland District, we have no
doubt he will win hosts of friends, and that the
church generally will recognize the wisdom of
his appointment. His friends will be pleased
to know his residence will still continue in this
