Deputy Sheriff Avery received a
telegram last week, that Edward Pin
ney, boy sent to the reform School
from Gouldsyille, had left the employ
of the farmer in whose custody he
had been for short time, and had
'vamoosed.' Mr.. Avery made the
proper arrangements to ascertain if he
came to his home, and waited until
Saturday night, when he became salts
fed that Edward was with his parents,
and so went down to see HIM. Inc
father emphatically denied that he had
seen his son, at first, but upon being
pressed admitted Edwards return,
but affirmed that he had gone away.
Mr., Avery, not appearing to believe
even this statement, and pressing the
father with cogent arguments for his
own safety, should he secrete all escap-
ed prisoner, he finally went out to the
barn and brought in his hayward son,
and delivered him over to the officer,
who returned him to the care ofSuper-

4 Russian CrRsliS.

The Continental Herald gave an ac-
count the other day of the opening of
a Russian chapel erected i'll the Canton
of Tessin by Baron whom the local
papers call "a Russian Crpsus." 1t
seems that this gentleman has become
so entranced by the scenery of Lugano
that he has resolved on building a mag
niticent chateau in the neighberhood
The building will cost s., 900, 900 francs,
the decorations 100000 francs, and the
furniture about as much more; but this
will be but bagatelle to the owner if, as
the Tessinois journals say, he has an
annual income of $4,000, 900 francs.
They set down his entOuvuge at 30 Rus
sian servants, 13 Russian and Swedish
singers, and 60 musicians, who cost him
alone $50, 200 francs year. In order to
CRAFTY further his musical tastes, a Gel
ebrated prima donna is engaged occa-
sionally for his exclusive enjoyment,
and by way of keeping his orchestra in
practice the members of it are obliged
to play at certain hour each day
throughout the year, although i'll thea alb
sence of M. lie Baron there is not sin

sumptuous palaces i'll Paris, Vienna
and Nice to have made his money by
speculations in Russian railways: to
change every year all his personnel and
even his acquaintance, and to Ignore
completely his relatives.

ant vision, he could not have analysed
my sorrowing heart at that time more

BIG MONEY.
~ l.rsex (ity yiiJiioi,ajyf,

win or n Jersey City millionaire.
The will of Charles Ct. Sisson, the
Jersey City millionaire, who died at his
home in Tanafy, three weeks ago, nas
been submitted to Surrogate MeCagte,
If Hudson county, for probate. 1he
will directs the executors to hold 81
900, 0O0 of the property in trust for the
family heirs-his sons Charles g., Jr.,
and Elias, and his daughters Eva B.
Browning and Elizabeth b. Sisson.
The executors are to keep $250,0OO for
each invested safely, and are to pay to
each one of them, III such manner and
in such amounts as they shall deem
most prudent, the interest of said sum
during his or her natural life. Except
III the case of his son Elias, the children
of each heir shall have the use of the
share which their parent received until
they become twenty-one years OF age,
when the executors are to Iav over
the whole sum absolutely. Elas is to
enjoy the use of his share while he
lives, and his children are to enjoy it
until they become twenty-one years of
age. Upon their attaining their ma or
ity the share of the children by his
present wife is to go to children by a
former marriage, or to children of Elias
by any other wife than his present wife.
The will also bequeaths all his house
hold furniture to his daughters Eva and
Elizabeth, and they are to occupy, If
they so desire, his mansion on jersey
avenue, Jersey City. To his sisters,
Esther Lewis and Lucy A. Bliven, and
to his niece, Lucy A. Jones, he left $3.50
annuity. To his brother Gilbert the
same amount, and as much more as may
be necessary to maintain him is given,
and on his death Gilbert's funeral
expenses to be paid and
"a tombstone, not to exceed III
value $50, to be purchased with
moneys drawn from the estate. The
residue of the property is to be kept
and invested by the executors for twenty
years, at the end of which time it is to
be divided equally among his four chill
dren or their families, except that no
part of the residue shall go to the chill
dren of Elias by his present wife. The
will names as executors Lansing Zabris-
kie, son of the late Chancellor Zabris-
kie; his son-in-law, John Hull Brown
ing; and Augustus A. Hardenburgh,
cashier of the Hudson County National
Bank. The compensation allowed to
the executors for their services is $500
per annum. The reason assigned for
the clause cutting off the children of
Elias by the lady who is at present his
wife is the fact that Elias married her
very much against his fathers wishes.

TIE INDIANS.

The commissioner of Indian affairs Is
in receipt of letter from Agent Miles,
dated at the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
agencies, September 30, bringing news
that seven young Kiowas, headed by the
famous chief Big Tree, and twelve
Cheyennes, headed by White Horse,
had come i'll the previous evening and
made professions of friendship. Big
Tree said he belonged to Santanta's
band, numbering about 100, camped 30
miles from that agency, and that they
wanted to come in and remain there IN
stead of going to Fort Sill. Friend
Milesand Gen. Riell regarded the whole
party as IA suspicious set, and made
them prisoners of war, but let two
suuaws 60 back to invite the rest of the
Kiowa party to surrender to Friend
Miles. 1t is generally thought Santanta
will stampede when he hears the fate OF
Big Tree and his party.
The St Louis Globes Topeka (kan-
sas) special says advices to the Doth lllt.
have been received there from General

and lack of sufficient transportation are
reported as retarding active opera

Trains are kept constantly going to
and from Fort Dodge, a distance OF 200
miles, from whence all supplies have to
be forwarded by wagons over rough and
difficult roads. No Indians have been
encountered since the attack on the
Callahan train, on the 18th ult., and
scouts report them all headed in the di
rection of the Staked Plains. General
Dawson, with nine companies of troops,
effected iuncture with General Miles
on the 10th nit. He marched
from Fort Hill up the Ala
cheta and the north fork of the
Red river, and met no Indians. There
are now three columns within support
ing distance of each other, operating
against the Indians. They are com
manded by Gen. Miles, Gen. Dawson,
and Col. Price. Nothing has been
heard from Mckenzie, who isadvancing
from the south, nor from Buell., who is
coming across from New Mexico. 4
scouting party from Fort Wallace, ope-
rating on the north fork of Smoky Hill
River, III western Kansas, discovered,
on Saturday last, the bodies of three
men and a woman murdered by Indians.
The parties killed were from Blue
Ridge, Ga. They We're immigrants
seeking a location. The womans head
was crushed, and all the bodies more or
less mutilated. Within the last two
weeks eleven persons have been killed
by Indians in western and southwestern
Kansas, and several who are missing
are supposed to have met the same fate.

PAY STOPPED.

a Washington dispatch says that the
Postmaster General had on Saturday
stopped warrant for 100000, being
made out for the New York Central
Railroad, for pay for increased weight
for mail service in the last fiscal year,
the appropriation for that class of bust
ness having been more than exhausted.
All other adjustments for increased ser
vice for that year were also suspended
until the necessary action be taken by
Congress. There was an appropriation
made of $500, 900 for this increased pay
ment, and about $250,0O0 was appro-
priated for the usual yearly increase in
mails. 1t now appears that under this
adjustment the increase III the pay of
the railroads already made amounts to
81 200, 900 in round numbers, and the
department estimates that there is
$500, 900 more due on accounts vet to
be presented or adjusted.

Holden for refusing to furnish him and
Langston, both colored, with meal at

that they were not refused entertain

parties. Purvis, however, swOre point
blank that he was refused entertain

case came up in the Police Court, and
the Prosecuting Attorney recommended
that the complaint be dismissed, which
was done. 1t will, however, be carried
up to a higher court and pushed to
trial
