The Recent Fight Between the sioux
aud Pawnee Indians.

KRoRNKY JUNCTION, August IL
Farther particulars of the fight between
the Pawnee and Sioux Indians, state
that the battle occurred twelve miles
above Frenchmau's Fork. The Pswnees
had prepared for buffslo hunt. The
Sioux being evidently aware Of this
stripped their ponies and distributed
them around on the adjoining hills.
They routed small herd OF buffaloes
and drove them towards the Pawnee
camp. The Pawnee warriors started
for the buffaloes and the Sioux attack
ed the camp. There were but few
squaws and warriors in camp. They
succeeded IN killing about fifty squaws
before the return Of the warriors, when
& desperate fight commenced, The
Pawnees, stung by frenzy, on account
OF the death of the squaws, fought like
demons, but being greatly at disadvan-
tage, in number and arms, were soon
compelled to retreat. They fled to the
river and crossed, when the Sioux gave
up the chase. The Sioux numbered
about 750, and Pawnees only about $50.
The Pawnees lost the robes and meal
OF five hundred buffaloe 9 they alec lost
about one hundred warriors and one
hundred ponies The Sioux lost thirty
warriors,

Mr.. CoyiIIe or Danbury.

Since the unfortunate accident to
Mr.. Coville while on the roof counting
the shinglss, he has been obliged 10
keep pretty close to the house. LAST
Wednesday he was out in the yard for
the first time, and on Friday Mrs.
Coville got him on an easy chair, which
proved a great comfort to him. It is
one OF those chairs that can be moved
by the occupant to form almost any
position by means of ratchets. Mr..
Coville was very much pleased with this
new contrivance, aud the fret afternoon
did nothing but sit in it and work it 10
all ways. He said such chair as that
did more good in this world than q
hundred sermons. He had it in his
room, the front bed room up stairs, and
there sit and look out the window, and
enjoy himself as much as a man can
whose legs have been ventilated with
shot Monday afternoon he got in the
chair and Mrs. Coville was out in the
back yard hanging up clothes, and the
son was across the street drawing q lath
along q picket fence. Sitting down he
grasped the side OF the chair with both
hands to settle it back, when the whole
thing gave way, and Mr.. Coville came
violently to the floor.
For an instant the unfortunate gen
tlemsn was benumbed by the sudden
ness OF the shock. but the next be was

The Case OF Lord Gordon.

The case or LORD Gordon.
MINNEAPOLIS, August ia Tribune
special Yesterday from Fort Garry, says:
The other evening Cornish (Lord Cor.
don's couDseD, accompanied by several
other gentlemen. waited upon bis Lord
ship regarding pecuniary matters. The
latter demanded the reason for so un-
timely a visit, and, after an explanation
he became enraged and an excited
alteration ensued, with the counsel Of
each expressing his opinion ofthe other,
which to say the least, was not flatter>
ing to either. His lordship shortly
after called his servant to advise Mr..
Cornish to make his exit. The latter
needed the advise, but called again next
morning to renew claim for some Sc
curity for his anticipated fee as counsel,
but found his bird had flown. Upon
inquiry he found Gordon was we'll on
his way to the Rocky Mountains. A
party arriving from the West to-day
reports having seen the pretty bird two
hundred miles westward.
United States Consul Taylor was
serenadei on Friday by the Military
band OF Fort Garry and three cheers
were given by those assembled. The
Consul responded in a brief speech, in
the decoration of the Court House for
a Bazaar iu q spirit of courtesy to
American citizens. The Stars and
Stripes were suspended side by side with
the British flag. Upon the entrance OF
Attorney General Clark, beholding the
terrible disgrace OF the emblem of his
alteration, in virtuous Indignation be
ordered the ladies in charge to haul
down that flag.
No one obeyed his command and he
retired, with feathers dropping.
The Sheriff will not allow The wives
OF the American prisoners to visit their
husbands but twice a week.

Senator MortOn-The onditicn OF
hIa Health.


From the Washington Chronicle, JCly 81
The habitue last winter OF the CALLER
les Of Congress and the corridors Of the
hotels would hardly identify, with the
pale, leadyn-s skinned, premsturely'de-
crepit man who then tottered through
the aisles OF the Senate Chamber, with
feeble gait and supported by crutches,
the vigorous, rosy-cheekei and healthy
Senator from Indiana, who walked into
the Ebbitt House yesterday morning,
aided only by slight walking.stick.
Seated at q table last evening, over
which a brilliant jet Of gas threw a
strong light, bringing into view every
linesment OF his face, Mr.. Morton
struck the MANY visitors who called on
him with utter astonishment at his
changed appearance. His hair, which
was always OF jet black color, has
Gained glossy hue, and his eyes
sparkle and intensity that speak VOL
umes for the recuPerative powers OF
the hot springs OF Arkansas, where he
resided az a patient for several weeks.
The paralysis OF his lower limbs, once
so painfully apparent, has been con-
quered to such an extent that, while
there is q preceptible halt in his gait.
the locality Of the trouble is confined
almost wholly to the right foot. This
rejuvenation OF his physical system
seems to have affected his general
spirits in a corresponding degree, and
he converses with an ease and dash
that would be strangers TO anything but
q healthy physique.

The Manitoba Affair.

EFT, Of Minneapolis, have mad two in.
terviews at Long Branch with the Pres
ident regarding the Manitoba affair."
and explained the whole matter from
beginning to end, dwelling especially
on the cruelty with which prisoners are
treated by the Manitoba authorities.
They also sought to impress upon the
President the necessity for speedy ac-
ton, as they feared the people in Man
itoba, unless something was done at
once, would take the settlement of the
case into their own hands. The Presi-
dent, according to dispatch, gave the
Governor and Mayor to understand
that unless the matter was disposed OF
within a reasonable time, q demand, in
unmistakable terms, would be made
upon the British Government, and
would be followed by further action.
Grant then asked the Governor and
Mayor to reduce their statement to
writing, which they did. and the paper
was forwarded to Secretary Fish, who
will be visited to-day by its authors.
The currency in the treasury not
withstanding the heavy disbursements
owing to the availability Of appropria
tions made at the last session OF Con-
gres, since the commencement Of the
present fiscal year, July lat, has been
steadily Increasing, and is now greater
than for many months, being 81 ,022,-
7S3,l 1913. Itis now almost certain that
the Secretary will not be called on again
to issue any part of his legal tender res
serve. The coin certificates have been
steadily increasing for some months and
are now at the highest point attained,
viz: S44,526,S00. The Internal Reve-
nue. receipts to-day, reached S54, 1885,
0l3.
Secretary Belkuap will return to
Washing gton tomorrow. Postmaster
Geueral Creswell returned from his
home to-day.
A dispatch has been received at the
War Department from Col. D. L. Stan-
ley, com mauding the Yellowstone Ex-

ed account OF his operations, and
announces the general good health OF
his command. He is now encamped
on the Yellowstone Is miles above

proceed to muscle shell. He expects
to return to Vincennes fork on the 18th

The wawassett Disaster.
The latest intelligence received from
the Wawasett says: The wreck OF the
i'll fated steamer lies about two hundred
and fifty yards below the landing, and
probably one hundred and fly feet
rom the shore. The boiler, smoke
stack, and all the metallic portion,
seems to rest firmly on the bottom, and
nearly al the machinery Is exposed to
view at low water. Not a particle OF
combustible material remains, and even
the iron is burned to white
tint. The shaft screw seems
to be either bent or broken
in the middle, showing iron work OF the
wheels. The boatmen who visited the
wreck at low water say they could see
down in the hull and the bones Of
charred bodies appeared to be two feet
deep, One OF the worst features among
the shore scenes yesterday was the dis
position among white and colored strag-
glers to robthe dead. Instances OF this
kind we're noticed.
