The Black Hills Chiefs In Washing
ton.


When the Sioux chiefs reached Wash.
ington they were taken to the fremont
House, near the Baltimore & Ohio DEPOT
where they were assigned small ard hot
rooms. Red Cloud and Spotted Tail had
Leen in Washington twice before and
stopped at the Washington House, at the
corner Of Pennsylvania avenue and Third
street, and liked their quarters. At the
Washington House the Indians cost the
government So per day each for board,
and occasionally the extras amounted to
dollar day more, for fruit, lemonades,
&c, Of which they were very fond. The
story told on one side is that the Wash.
ington House people were refused the In.

commission TO certain persons which was
refused. The contract was awarded 10
the fremont House, on Indiana avenue,
at $3.50 per day, not including extras,
and-so the story runs the commission
is to be paid out Of the enhanced price.
The Washington House is an unostenta.
tious house at which Secretary Delano at
one time boarded, and at which Vice
President Wilson boarded for sixteen
years. After day or two's stay at the
fremont the Indians "folded their tents
like Arabs and silently stole away" to
the Washington House. Spotted Tail
and Red Cloud were induced to return to
the fremont, but the others refused to
return; on which the Department noti-

Government would not pay the bills.

On the other side it is claimed that the

by Mr.. Beveridge.

with contempt but for the fact that this
case may lead TO the opening up OF the en-.

A terrible explosion in a soda manufac-
tory at Boston, under the drug store of
Bows q Co., corner Of Washington and
La Grange streets, which occurred on the
Goth, has been briefly described by tele-
graph. The following are additional par
ticulars:

structure, was filled with offices, dwelling
rooms, etc, and the ground floor and base

Der of persons we're in the store, and the
streets were crowded with paSsers by,
as usual at that hour, when there came a
sudden, binding flash of light, cloud Of
yapory, gaseous smoke, and dull, heavy
shock. At the same instant the building
seemed to lift from the ground into the
air, and in an instant to descend into the
cellar into a chaotic mass of building ma
terial One man, who was drinking soda
at the counter, found himself in the mid
die of the street uniniured another, who
was passing on Lagrange street, was
blown through the show window of the
store opposite, and somewhat cut by the
glass. A horse-car passing on Washing.
ton street was lifted from the track and
thrown to the opposite side of the street.
All the passengers were stunned and
thrown into heap at the bottom Of the
car, ard one Of the horses was killed. A
hack passing about the same time was
blown clear across the street. A large
number Of persons who were in the build.
ing at the time were carried down among
the mass Of debris. Mrs. Lizzie Comp.
ton, woman apparently so years old,
was in the third story. and either was
thrown or jumped from the window TO
the sidewalk, striking upon her head and
killing her instantly.
A man named Pratt was thrown bodily
from the window by the shock, and all the
glass within block Of the building was
shattered.
As soon as the building fell in, fire
burst out from the debris. and two alarms
Of fire were rung IN, calling together a
large number Of engines. The flames
were soon extinguished, and the search
for the bodies began and continued dur

He had been over the road thousand

The Fallen Ross i'm PrisOn--His APP
pearance and Quarters.
from the New York Sun, May 25.l

Recently the grand jury, at the request
Of their foreman, visited Blackwell's
island, and in the course of their inspec.
tion were ushered into the hospital. From
a gentleman who accompanied the grand
jury Sun reporter yesterday obtained
several facts in relation to the condition
Of William NJ. Tweed. The gentleman
said:
II was astonished, as think the mem.
bers of the jury were, at the meagre &C.
commodations afforded the great prisoner,
| had been led to believe that he was
quartered like prince, and that so far as
creature comforts were concerned, he
wanted for nothing. But such was
not the case. The Boss was
seated at desk at the
upper end of bare, dreary, unexpected
room, lined on both sides with common
iron cots. Here space about eight feet
square had been partitioned off for his
use as office, parlor and bedroom. The
only furniture of this apartment was a
bed, the desk, and two or three chairs.
As the jury looked into this little room
MIR. Tweed neither rose nor moved. His
head was bowed down over a large book
in which he seemed to have been making
an entry, bat he was not writing. 1t was
not until one Of the jurymen spoke to
him that he raised his face to US. The
jHryman had evidently known the Boss in
his happier days, for as the latter recog-
nizcd an old friend, his face flushed for
an instant, either with pleasure or with
shame, but il was only for an instant.
After that. whenever | caught sight of
his face, | could read nothing bus the
apathetc indifference of utter hopeless
ness, except at rare intervals, when a
spasm Of pain contracted the facial mus
Giles. Il can't live great while, | heard
him say TO one of the jurymen, and then
he bowed his head again and resumed his
study of tbs unwritten page before him.
II was plain that the conversation, short
as il was, had panied him, and that he
desired to bring it to q speedy conclusion.
Warden Fox told us that Mr.. Tweed
was the hospital prescription clerk, and
attended TO his duties with great fidelity.
He explained the fact that Mr.. Tweed
was allowed to sleep out of his cell by
saying THAT since he entered the prison
he has grown so stout that it would be
impossible TO get him into the door Of
one. Even if he could be squeezed in, the
bed with which each cell is provided is
too narrow for his bulky form, and there
is not room for larger cot"

Sheridan yesterday and passed IN as a

mansion discovered him in the General s
room, sketching, as he said. for the New

to his hearts content he went away, and
the General, on his return was informed
Of the artists visit and departure. lie
thought then he heard something drop.
and an examination Of the room disclosed
the fact that the artist had drawn very
