in the Tribune, it is unnecessary to
repeat anything here.
The distances estimated by Jones
are as follows: From Bryan to
Camp Stambaugh, ITO miles I; from
Stambaugh to Camp Brown, 40
miles; from Brown to Big Wind
River, % miles; from Big Wind
River to Owl Creek, So miles ; from
Owl Greek to the top of the Great
Divide, $50 miles; from the top Of
the Great Divide to Yellowstone
Lake, Is miles ; from the Lake to
Fort Ellis, i'm Gallatin Valley, NJ.
t., 40 miles /; total, sic miles.
The distance was afterwards re-
duced, in returning, to 41S miles. 1t
is a long road, but some day it will
be travelled, and the new and beau
tiful country along opened up for
settlement. Capt. Jones found a
practicable road, but it was thought
a shorter, if not a better, one could
be obtained. Maj. Gordon, Second
United States Cavalry, under orders
of Gen. Augur, began the search for
this road in 1869, and Captain
Torey's is the thir' expedition
that has been sent out From the
tone of Lieut.. Young's letter, a
MISUNDERSTANDING route for a
road does not seem to have yet been
discovered. 1t will be observed
that the Lieutenant thinks there is
a still better route, at least 40 miles
shorter than the one over which
Capt. Torrey travelled; and it is
likely one or two more expeditions
will have to he sent out before the
matter is thoroughly settled. That
a good road from Green River, OF
Bryan, ON the Union Pacific, to Mon
tana, can be found via the South
Pass, Camp Brown, and Yellow
stone Lake, there is not a doubt
and that it will be shorter than the
one from COrinne to Montana, there
can also be hardly a doubt in the
mind of any one familiar with the
upper country. AARON ABOUT.

florence Picnic.
FLORENCE, July Z.


EDITOR BEE:
In your daily of Monday, the 9th
inst, there is an article stating that
at the picnic ut Florence there was
a woman fight, which is either a
mistake of your informant or a ma
licious falsehood. The fight referred
to, took place in the Florence Hotel,
on Friday night, at a ball or dance.
There was a picnic in Florence,
given to a number of the school
children, on Saturday, and a happy,
pleasant time they had. The ladies
who had charge of it feel justly in
dignant that the misdeeds of others
should be saddled on them. More
so, AS not one of them were at or
near the place where the fighting
occurred. JUSTICE.

ec.ESIRic MARRIAGE.
A Novel Event at the Catholic
Cathedral.
Happiness, JoIity and q Good
Dinner.

One of the most interesting and
eccentric weddings took place yes
terday at the Catholic Cathedral
e witnessed in this city. The
long string of carriages leaving the
church led us to believe that some
thing of extraordinary Importance
was Transporting, and upon inquiry
such we learned was actually the
case.
Anna Whelan, long the faithful
servant of Mr.. Jack Morrow, and
n who had gained the confidence
and esteem of her employer, finally
accepted the heart and nand an !
fortune of Mr.. Michael Kinney, for
many years a workman at the shops.
Mr.. Morrow, in appreciation of An
mas excellent service and inimita-
BILE hash she had slung up for him
in days gone by, concluded to have
Ia fitting and appropriate wedding.
The wedding was intended to be
very select. Accordingly cards
were issued only to AIMS intimate
friends and patrons. The ceremony
was performed by Father Burns,
with Miss Maggie O'Neal, as brides
maid, and MI. John DOlan, as
groomsman. Afterwards there was
a grand reception at Jack Morrow's
house.
There were i'm attendance, MI.
and Mrs. Catlin, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mills, Mr.. and Mrs. J. s. McCor-
mick, Mrs. Graus, J. E. Boyd and
family, J. H. Lacey and family, Mr..
Clarke. Mr.. Paxton, and many
others.
The dejune was immense; but
not content with a splendid COLA
ton for the persons present, Mr..
and Mrs. Kinney sent their
wedding cake and wedding cigars
to several different business houses,
and the public were cordially in.
vited to smoke to the health of the
happy pair. We wish Mrs. Kinney
every success i'm the world, and only
hope that the many qualities thai
gained her the friendship q
SO many, viz: Good cooking
and an easy temper, may evel
retain for her the love and cJnfi-
dence of her husband. And we con
graduate Mr.. Kinney in obtaining
such an accomplished help-mate
and if the same frugality and in
dustry (which have characterized
his celebicy be maintained il
his married life, it will not be lon.
before he and his wife will live il

CAPT. JONES EXPEDITION.

1t will be remembered that, last
summer, Gen. Ord sent out Capt.
Jones, of the Engineer Corps, with
an expedition, to find a practicable
wagon road from Camp Brown to
the Yellowstone Lake. Camp
Brown is located on Little Wind
River in the northwestern part of
Wyoming Territory; and the object
sought to be accomplished was to
find a nearer road into Montana
than than now travelled by way of
Corlnne. Should this road ever be
made, the overland freight for Mon
tana, now carried from COrinne,
would probably be carried via South
Pass, Camp Brown aud the Yellow
stone Lake. 1t would leave the Union
Pacific Railroad at Green river, S45
miles west of Omaha, instead of CO.
1867 miles west from Oma-
ha. 1t would also open up a route
to the National Park and thel won
derful curiosities of the Yellowstone
Capt. Jones saw the grand
scenery in the world, hot and
cold springs, geysers, shooting up
hundreds of feet into the air,
vast gardens of natural flowers, and
covered with fields of

ESCAPE OF THE HOT SPRINGS HIGH
wAYMEN.

A few days since we published the re-
port OF an interview with Colonel John
Bartholomew, superintendent OF the Ell
PasO stage line, who was one of the pur-
suers of the Hot Springs highwaymen.
When his party abandoned the pursuit
the robbers were in the nation, and were
followed by Colonel Sumpter, sheriff OF
Garland county. Since then nothing
new had been learned of the pursuit un-
til last evening, when arrivals from the
valley brought the information that the
pursuers mad returned to Hot Springs,
and all pursuit had been abandoned.
The Hot Springs Telegraph Of Thursday
publishes the following additional par
tieulars: "John J. Sumpter and party,
consisting of James NJ. Spence, Richard
Cant, Thomas Grams, Frank Bowen,
Glen King and John Winchel, returned
last night. They struck the trail of the
robbers Wednesday, in the mountains Of
the ChOctaw nation. Mr.. Sumpter in
forms us that horse of one of the rob-
bers was killed. They lost the trail on
Thursday on account Of the heavy rains,
but since heard the robbers were ten
miles east of Mckenzie, ON the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad. This is the
last scouting party. Sumpter aud party
have ridden on their second trip about
four hundred and fifty miles, and are
completely used up"
