Reporfed Fnlsc Rpport.

NEW YORK, Sept. pa special
says of the reported new steamship
line to be started in opposition to the
Pacific Mail Company, that last Sun
day Capt. G.. II. Bradbury who was
President of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, sailed for Europe un-
der an assumed name. Those under
stood to be promoters of the rival en-
terprise say that Bradbury is to be
President of the new company, and
that he has gone to England for the
purpose of purchasing six or seven
steamers. After completing his nego-
tiations the vessels will sail almost
Immediately from England, some
going to China and Japan for cargoes,
others coming here, whence they will
go to the Pacific Coast. 1t is said con-
tracts have been signed and vessels
will be running within thirty days.
One of she objects of Jay Gould's trip
to San Francisco is to obtain wharf
property for the new company. Russell
Sage, President of the Pacific Mail
Company declares that the suggestion
of starting rival line on the Prcific is
ridiculous, for it could not compete
with the regular line, with it's million
dollars subsidy and great facilities for
business. He thinks the whole story
is attributable to the bears.

An Indian Mormon.

Near Fillmore party Of travellers
visited an Indian chief OF the Pah.vanI
tribe who had turned Mormon after 0
fashion. The story OF his conversion
and what followed Is interesting:
Kanosh is Mormon convert, and
prides himself on his "white ways u
Hisfayorite wiie..an Indian girl, brongh.
up in Mormon persuaded
him to let her keep house mormon
fashion " for him. The Mormons had
built her q nice little cottage, where
she had real doors and windows, six
chairs ranged round the room, high
post bedstead in the corner, and plates
and dishes in press. She had her
cows-and made butter-her poultry,
eggs, and vegetables; and in her day
Kanosh proudly Displayed stitf, clean
shirt front and high collar every Sunday.
Naturally, the other squaws were
Jealous. Knnosh went hunting, and en-
his return, three weeks aiterward, the
poor young wife had disappeared.
Ranosh was sure that his eldest squaw
had murdered her. What did he do ?
He told her that God had seen her do
1t and bade her die. And she grad
rally faded away and in less than n
year she died, oonfessing that she had
taken her victim by the hair as she
knelt among the plants in her garden,
pulled buck her head and cut her
Throat. Then she dragged the body
away, and buried 1t in the cornfeld.
After the Christian wiie's murder,
Kanosh mourned in q sincere way that
deeply gratifled his Mormon friends.
But ho and the remaining squaws
couldn't manage his affairs in her fash.
ion. He wore his shirts, however, faith
fully aud llonOrably, till tue buttons,
the sleeve, and collars all deserted
him. As to the poultry, when tho eggs
had accumulated To three bushels. or
thereabouts, his band made grand
feast, and, Indian like, ate mp all the
chickens literally all except the feath.

An Iron Keystone.

The roadway of the great steel bridge
across the Mississippi at ST. Louis is
finished, and many teams have passed
over 1t. The arches OF tho bridge are Of
iron. The immense hallow blocks were
cast in Pittsburgh foundry. So nicely
was the work done that every block but
thekeystone filled its spaceperiectly. II
was found that the keystone, which
weighs many tons, had expanded, owing
to tho heat, and was IN inch too large
for the vacancy. The solidity Of the
work was such that no clipping or cut
ting would surmount the difficulty. In
this dilemma the keystone was wrapped
In over thirty tons Of ice, where II re-
NAMED twenty.four houfs. When un.
covered IL was found that the cold had
contracted the keystone to such size
that II dropped TO its place in the mag
niHccnt arch, exactly filling the space
required. The people Of 81. Louis look
upon the East river bridge as small
thing compared with their steel con-

A Family Murdered.

About two and half miles from
Lawrenceburg, Ind, there is a little
farm Of eight acres, owned by poor
family by the name Of Bradley, consist.
ing Of the husband and wife and their
children-two daughters, aged respec.
lively ten and twelve years, little boy
aged three, and IN infant seven or
eight months old. On the adjoining
farm is q man named Frank Strahly,
who was engaged in blowing within
sight Of Bradley's house. Strahly no.
ticed Bradleys little boy running about
the place crying bitterly the greater
part Of tho day, but paid no attention
TO II till toward evening, when its man
ner and gestures led him ct last TO the
conclusion that something was wrong.
About seven o'clock the man concluded
TO 60 over and see what was the matter,
but no sooner did he enter tho humble
abode than q ghastly spectacle met his
sight. Mrs. Bradley was lying near
the fireplace dead, with her skull
mashed In, and her babe, with o slight
wound on the head, lying on her bosom.
Examination proved that the woman
had also received a terrible blow across
the abdomen, which was burst open,
allowing the bowels TO protrude. The
Oldest girl was also lying on the floor
dead, with her skull crushed in. She
lay with her feet towards her mother,
and her head towards tho bed. On the
latter lay the youngest daughter, dead,
with the skull crushed in as in tho
other two cases. There was no evidence
OF struggle, no other trace OF violence
on the persons Of the murdered people,
and no weapon or implement suggestive
OF the means by which they fell under
the assaAsin's blows. Strahly alarmed
the neighborhood Immediately upon
his discovery OF the bodies, and tho
place was soon visited by scores Of peo.
pie. The horrid decd was evidently
performed with some heavy, blunt i'm.
plement, for there was no cut or cash
except the slight abrasion or wound on
the Infants head, and there was no ef.
fusion OF blood. The neighbors re.
garded the Bradley family as quiet, in.
offensive, and industrious poor people.

was supposed that they had little
money stored away, II Is believed that
that constituted the only motive for the
murder. A letter was found addressed
to Mrs MnryE. Bradley, dated at ohilo,
o., and beginning, "My Dear Wife,"
giving some few commonplace details,
enclosing 50, and promising to send
more in q short time. The letter was
from tho husband, who is still absent.
II is supposed that there might have
been about S16 or so in Mrs. Bradley's
possession, but no Que who knew them
believed that the boarded treasure ex.
ceeded that amount, and for that trihe
fell dire slaughter upon her and her
young daughters. The fact that the
murdered family wero all clad shows
that the murder must have been com.
mitted some time In tho day, for the

AN INDIAN CAPTIVE.
A THRILLING Account OF his Capture, suf-
feringr, and Escape, f.

ferinEni ana EAenpe'
Recently there arrived in Sherman,
Texas, q young boy, aged fifteen years,
who, from his general appearance and
starved look, gave indications OF hav-
ing suffered terribly from hunger and
cruelty. This boys conduct and gen
eral forlorn, starved look attracted the
attention OF several gentlemen who
were sitting in front OF the Southern
Hotel, and one Of them Intercepted
him in relation to who he was, etc.
The boy ut once told his story, which
was reduced to writing, and is rs fol-
lows:
In the spring, two years ago, my
father and mother, with their children,
six sons, myself included, with my sis
ter Mandy, aged %, and Sarah, aged II,
started from Arkadelphia, Clarke coun-
by, Arkansas, to emigrate to Texas.
When within Ave miles east Of Jacks
boro, Jack county, Texas, I was walk.
ing ahead Of the wagons, when / called
10 father: "Look ct the Indians Hero
they come |" My father jumped from
the wagon and said, Z" Right here will I
de-" My father aud Sarah both had
two six.shooters each, and they fought
desperately. My father killed four
Indians aud wounded several others.
My sister Sarah wounded several In
dams.
All were soon killed OF my family.
They were all scalped, the wagons cut
TO pieces and burned up. the horses
stolen, and oil the provisions, apparel,
plumber, etc., destroyed. AT the com.
mencement Of the firing ! was cut of
from the train, and held up my hands
and surrendered. The Indians tied me
TO the back of horse, and in this way
was forced to lay for four days, until
they reached their camp in the Wachita
mountains. ] was then taken from the
horse and bound with log chain TO o
plum tree, in front Of o chiefs camp.
1 was kept tied to the tree for one year,
was fed generally with raw meat, and
was at times forced TO eat the parts Of
the entrails OF the beef and horses that
were killed, and was checked until 1 did
eat IL.
After the arrest OF santanta and Big
Tree ! was released from my chain, and
was allowed to wander around the
camp, closely watched. ] stole a i've
dollar gold piece from the pocketbook
/ Of one OF tho chiefs, and bribed one Of
his squaws with that money TO get me
au old hat, shirt, and pants, and made
my escape that night. 1 have walked
all the way from Wachita mountains
been one week and q half on the road
have not had anything TO cat in foul
days. The Comanches have got Eve
thousand warriors with them, and have
made treaties with other tribes in this
settlement. Where was confined they
had about fifteen hundred families.
JAMES WILLIAM MCDANIEL.
His general appearance, his familiari
ty with the habits and conduct OF the
Comanches, his knowledge of theil
language, etc, would satisfy any ont
that his story is correct. He was cross
questioned by numerous parties, ani
all pronounced his story true. He Il
