Treachery of the Modocs.

LEAD IN MIssoURI.-Lead deposits
are constantly being discovered in

n return of 400, 900 pounds from the
Joplin District alone, an increase of
$4,000 pounds over that of any pre-

There is nothing extraordinary in
the above. Eureka District alone
nearly doubles that amount. When

are promised full, and reliable reports
on the subject by the end of the pres

time-the conclusion being that Undertook
had grown weary Of his charge and had I'M
dertaken thus to do away with the chief liv-
ing evidence of his own guilt in the insurance
case. Step by step the detectives have traced
the hiding places of theman supposed to have
been Goss, until n strong array Of evidence
appears to be accumulatcd-all pointing to
Undertook ms the principal actor in CON
spiracy that terminated in murder.
Letters written by Undertook to his brother
in-law, Samuel W. Rhodes, who lives near
the scene of the murder, have been discover
ed, in which Undertook invites his brother
in law to take part in some unknown scheme
by which $1,000 was to be made Suisse
quently to writing these letters Undertook
called upon Rhodes and made known the de-
tails of his scheme, which was to make way
with man whose friends supposed him to be
lost. Rhodes says he endeavored to dissuade
him from the scheme and he left. Upon the
discovery of the murder Rhodes Immediately
made known Udderzook's proposition to him,
upon which information the latter was ar
rested.
The case, in all its hearings, presents some
remarkable features, and will no doubt go
upon record as one of the causes cele6res of the

The Chester County Tragedy,

We noticed briefly last week the discovery
ofmuilated human remains near Jennersville
Chester county, Pa, and the arrest of Will
liam L. Undertook, in Baltimore, on the
charge of being connected with the crime
Since that time some startling discoveries
have been made that invest the affair with a
terrible interest.
These facts may I've stated briefly as fol-
lows:
1t appears that in February, 1872, the
workshop of w. s. Goss, in Baltimore county,
was destroyed by fire and the charred remains
Of n man found in the debris. Goss had in
surance to the amount of $4,000 on his life,
in several companies, and the amount was in
due time claimed by his widow, The insu-
rance companies resisted the claim, on the
ground Of fraud, alleging that the body found
was not that of Goss, but the dead body of
some one else placed in the building for the
purpose of representing Goss The princi-
pal witness to prove the burnt body to be
that of Goss was VIM. +. Undertook His
evidence was so strong and positive that the
widow gained her case in the court below,
but an appeal having been taken, the matter
has not yet been finally disposed of.
Upon the discovery oftbe murder in Ches-
ter county, detectives sent by the insurance
companies visited the spot, and obtained very
strong proofs that the murdered man was
none other than w. ). Goss himself, who had
been kept concealed by Udderzook until that
