The Gad's Hill Robbers.
THE FIGHT IN THE RAoKwooDs OF MISSOURI
KILLING OF ONE OF THE YOUNG
Err BROTHERS AND TWO
DETECTIVES.

The robbers were cornered about
two week ago, and went into ambush
in the rayines or Rush Mountain, in
st. Clair county, about 200 miles
west of Gad's Hill. A special de-
tective employed by the Iron Nouns
tain Railroad Company, visited the
locality and met with rough treat
ment. He found that the gang had
hidden in the woods, and on approach
ing near the place a sentinel halted
him, presenting couple of revolvers,
and then disarmed him of his rifle
and revolver, and examined him
thoroughly in order to find out his
business, but, luckily for him, there
was no evidence upon him OF a de-
tective nature. After the search, he
was ordered to leave the vicinity by
certain road or be shot. Several
of the settlers near the hiding place
reported to him that this gang would
not allow any one to go through the
woods and ravine whore they were.
Yesterday, President Allen OF the
Iron Mountain Railway, received a
telegram from Oceola, Missouri, to
the effect that on last Monday, a
couple of detectives made forced
march on the place where the robbers
were secreted, and got into des-
perats fight which lasted several
hours. In the fight two detectives
were killed aud ons severely wound-
ed but no names were given. One
of the gang was killed, namely John
Younger brothers. who have been
daring bushwhackers in Missouri for
several years, and are supposed to
have been implicated in the Iowa
train robbery, last September.
John was about % years Of age, live
feet ten inches high, weighed nearly
200 pounds, and was Of repulsive
appearance. He was born in Cass
county, Missouri, and during the late
civil war vas ip the Southern militia
of Missouri, then in QuanEeils band
and afterward served under YEP
Shelby. His home was always N
the woods, and he was thoroughly
posted in the details OF the country
, south of the Missouri river. lie was
supposed to be the leader Of the gang
OF robbers. The place where the
fight took place was near Montagaw
Springs, in St. Clair county, tel
! miles from Montrese, on the Missouri
! Kansas and Texas Railway, twent,
] miles from Oeeola, on the Atlantic
) and Pacific Railway, and fifty mile
!, south of Sedalia.

cause it "makes mighty interesting
reading concerning one who was
elected by Republicans, from a he.
publican county, to represent Repuo-

We don't suppose we would ever

historical facts if Mr.. Furlong Lad
not had the Independence and manll

strictly party measures. and of which

This renegade Republican took an
other Of those blisterings on the floor
of the Senate, yesterday, which any
man of honor would consider humili-
ating. His colleague, Mr. Barrow,
reprimanded him for voting with the
Democracy On strictly party measures.
He reminded him that he was elected
by Republicans, from a Republican
county, to faithful y represent Repuo-
| lieans, and with the understanding
that he would do SO. Furlong IS,
| without doubt, the most unmitlgated
fraud that ever disgraced the Repub'
lican party Of Mississippi By claiming
memb crship in it. His history, from
the time he planted lis foot upon
Mississippi soil, is one of deception
fraud, and corruption. First, he
claimed to have been a Captain IN

he claimed to have been on Gen
Sherman's staff, which is false; next
that he was a Lit Colonel in the Fed

The revised estimates were laid be-
fore the House Tuesday. The only ma
terial reductions are made by the War
Department, which pares down over
twelve millions. 1t is noticeable, how
ever, in the revised estimates for pnb-
lie improvements, under direction OF
the War Department, that there is no
pairing down for work to be done in
Washington City. The same lavish es-
matesasked for improvement of squares,
reservations, White House and grounds,
and all that sort of thing, are again re-
ported. The pairing down in river and
harbor improvements and public works
in other sections of the country Is al
ways vigorous and often sweeping, but
in that favored latitude the expenditure;
are to be heavier than last year.

Gen. Sherman was before the Com
mittee on Military affairs Monday and
Tuesday, in response to an invitation
of the committee, to give his views on
on the subject Of reducing the expenses
of the army. The summary of his
opinion is that the force of the cavalry,
the artillery and the infantry is now at
its minimum, in view of the extent of
land and sea frontier which it has to
cover and protect; that if the pruning
knife is to be applied at all, it should
be only to the engineer and staff corps
over which he has no control, and that
with the exception of the forts in New
York and Boston harbors, Fort Alca.
traz In San francisco harbor, and some
of the forts in Portland harbor, Maine
the other sea coast deGences of the
country are not of the slightest i'm
portance, and should not have another
dollar spent on them. He recognizes
the possible contingent importance o
Fort Schuyler and the fort at Willet'
Point, New York, in the event of tn
Hell Gate channel being opened, bu
thinks that until that time no expendi
ture should be made there.

The new Cabinet clearly indicate that
the occurrences of Saturday and Sun
day last are but the prelude to the
restoration of monarchy In Spain.
Gen. Pavia. who is reported to be a
friend of the deposeG President Cas-
telar, is not only n a Republican. but
he is a member of one of the most aris-
tocratic families of Spain. He served
under his uncle, the Marquis of Nova
liches, who commanded the Queens
army at the memorable battle of Alco-
lea. That battle was fought betwesn
the royalist troops and the forces with
which Serrano was then advancing from
Cadiz upon Madrid; and the defeat of
the former obliged the Queen and Gen.
Jose de la Concha, her last Prime Min
lister, to seek safety in flight. Not one
of the new cabinet Is a republican.
Admiral Topete, the colleague of Ser
rano, and who with him proclaimed a
Republic at Cadiz, remained with his
fleet at the latter port while Serrano
stranged the republic at Madrid. Sa-
gaSta was the Minister of Amadeus,
who vsinly endeavored to persuade the
King to override the constitution. "a

The Hon. David B. Mellish of New

several important and popular features.
1t provides for the substitution of legal
tender notes for the national tank notes,
aud that certain proportion of these
notes shall be received in payment OF
customs. The bill was referred to the
Committee ON Banking and Currency,
and it is known that several member:
of that committee favor the principle,
of the bill.

national bank currency, ami If q well

whether the Senate cnnld be brought to
