vised by telegraph of the murder of a
surveyor by party of forty or fifty In
dians calling themselves Cheyennes,
while in camp twenty miles east of

teenth of March four surveyors of
another party were murdered about fifty
miles further north, where the Cinna-
mon river crosses the Kansas boundary.

Particulars OF General wOOIey's Death.
MILWAUKEE, April 1T is supposed
that the sudden death of General John
WOoley was caused by an overdose of
chlOroform taken to relieve a severe at
tack of neuralgia. The news of his
death was received at the National as
sylum here with expressions of great
surprise and sorrow. General Hicks,
the governor, ordered the flags at half
mast. The body will lie in state in the
Light Guard armory until Sunday,
when it will be escorted to the Soldiers
asylum by the Milwaukee Light Guards,
where the funeral will take place, unless
his friends order otherwise. John
Wooley entered the volunteer service
from Indianapolis, October 8, 1881, as
first-lieutenant of the second Indi-
ana cavalry; was promoted major of the
fifth Indiana cavalry, March 25, 1868,
and was promoted lieutenant-colOnel of
the same regiment March s, 1854, and
served in the service with the rank of
lieutenant-colonel until February 4,
1864. He was breveted colonel and
brigadier-general of volunteers March |
13, 1866. Deceased was about |
fifty-one years of age at his death.

JACKSON, April 4.-Allen Smith cut

Mary Mcbride was set at liberty to-
day by ha6eas corpus. Steele, impli-
Gated in forgery, was released on respon.
sible bonds.
The house committee on the educa-
tional bill reported the bill back with
many amendments. The committee on
the penitentiary reported that they had
inquired into the action of the board
of penitentiary commissioners in buying
the Shotwell tract, and gave theii
opinion that the commissioners were
sincere in their action, and not govern
ed by personal motives; and as the par
ties interested had the right of appeal
to the the courts the committee would
express no recommendation in the mat
ter. The report demurs against the
management, and charges wrongs
and abuses against the convicts
detailed to work on the roads, and re-
port the buildings inadequate and their
condition such that repairing you'd be
unWise.
The new penitentiary would cost one
and half million of dollars, but the
State engineer thinks if seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars was appropri-
ated the penitentiary could be built, but
the committee obviously insinuate that
his figures should generally be doubled.
Two years ago Richardson rushed bill
through with lightning speed. He
is again in the field, but from
the ill-success he has met thus
far his chances of success are
simmer than before. The present
system has many faults, and bill dis
countenancing the Irregularities which
have thus far disgraced the prison
system is in the field, and meets with
much favor. will forward a synopsis
of both bills as soon as possible.
The Senate passed a bill provid-
ing for the appointment of night
watchman at the capitol. This sticks
Rev. J. Aaron Moore closer to the peo-
pie than a poor mans plaster to lame
shin. Also, bill authorizing the coun-
ty of Colfax to collect a pro rata share
Of the Chickasaw school fund. An at
tempt was made to rush bill through
to repeal the act in relation to the pur-
chase of State maps through by title.
Mr.. Morgan called for a reading of the
bill, but it was out of the secretary's
hands. The matter lies over.
The purport of the bill was to
release the State engineer from the du-
lies required by the original act. He
mas already drawn several thousand
iollars from the State, and there is a
bad odor connected with certain State
map transactions which the committee
have not yet reported on.
