with command from Fort Lincoln across the
mouth of Powder river, thence up on the south
bank Of the Yellowstone, crossing Powder riV'
er, Tongue river, the Rosebud, AMI on to the
mouth of Big Horn. This country Is as yet CO.
tirely unexplored, and the expedition may de.
yelop very valuable auriferous section, aud
make the Father Desmet story cxtant true,
but am of the belief that mountain OF mica
has not changed to gold. will also send an ex-
pedition down the Wind river, through the
Owl Greek mountains, from Fort Stambaqgh'
via Fort Browo, to the mouth of the Big iorn
and will bring it back through the park, about
the headwaters of the Powder river, visited 0y
CAPTAIN Mills and his command last summer.
These parks are for beauty fully equal to those
described SO graphically BY General Custer as
existing 10 the Black Hills Of Cheyenne l
may also say from my own knowledge that the
valleys of the Big and Little Popoogle, Little
Wind river and main Wind river, can scarcely
be excelled 10 beauty and fertility, While the
student of nature will fnd there the most en-
traordinary upheaval OF the earth crust proba-
bly to be found on this continent
I am OF opinion that this country is gold
bearing, but of it's abundance there can only be
conjecture. At present feel quite confident
of an ability to prevent the intended trespass
on the rights ofthe Indians, and the cavalry
aud infantry in the department OF Dakota are
being moved at the present time to the most
available points TO carry out my directions OF
September Sd of last year. Were it not tor
these instructions 90 the part of the govern-
ment there might be repetition of California
gold beach and gold lake hu@bugs, With still
greater suffering, as many OF the persons DOW
crazy 6 to 70 to the Black Hills never think Of
how they are to exist after they get there, or
how they could return in case of failure. II
they will wait for further information from the
government, which now seems to be deslrous OF
making concessions to meet these new Interests,
there will be no one more willing than myself to
aid 10 asoertaining their values.
So far as troops are concerned, / will promise
activity iu the present emergency, and the eou-
cieutious performauc OF duly. Should the
points from which the miners stand be so re-
mote as to make it impossible for our scanty
force to watch them, We can occupy the TWO or
three gaps 10 the Black Hills, and ettectually
exclude trespass. Very respectful,
p. Il. SHERIDAN,
Lieut.. General Commanding.

BROOKLYN, May 2.--Among the
first to arrive this morning was Mrs.
Tilton, accompanied by Mrs. Field
and Mrs. Ovington. Mr.. Tilton ar
rived shortly after. When the jury
was called, Mr.. Evarts was the only
one of Beecher's counsel present.
Quite scene occurred when, sud-
denly, before the proceedings COM
menced, Mrs. Triton, with a pale face
and colorless lips addressed the judge
saying, MAY / hand q communica-
ton to your honor Before open
ing 1t Judge Nelson, in a respectful
tone, turned toward Mr.. Evarts and
said, viii you attend to the lady, Mr..
Evarts. Counsel took from her out
stretched hand her offered commu-
nication, and handed it to the Judge.
There was a murmur of surprise as
the lady sat down. The Judge read
the note attentively, and when fin
ished, said, looking towards Mrs.
Tilton, this madame, will be consid-
cred. Mrs. Tilton nodded acquies-
cence, and the trial proceeded by the
calling of Albert Berghans artist for
an Illustrated paper. He testified to
witnessing the Roussel procession on
the 18th of December, 1871, in New
York; Mrs. Tilton did not walk arm
in arm with Mrs. Woodruff and
Tennie Clafiiin.

The fire in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was
more destructive than at first re-
ported. The loss will not be under
two millions of dollars. Hundreds
of families were made houseless. In
proportion to its population and
wealth, Oshkosh suffered more Sc
verely than Chicago in the great con-
migration. In 1874 there was a fire
in the same city which destroyed
some six hundred houses, with loss
of $s00,000. The city was beginning
to revive from the shock when a
more terrible visitation Of fire devas-
tates her. 1t Is probable the citizens
will now be able to come to a con-
clusiOn conclusion concerning the use
of wood in the construction ofbuild-
ings.

The Oshkosh Fire.

CHICAGO, April 30.-A special dis
patch to the Inter-Ocean from Osh-
kosh says There is no possible way
of arriving at the loss to insurance
companies by the Oshkosh fire, since
all the agencies but one have been
burned out, and the books are in con-
fusion, while the books of one agen-
cy are burned. The Insurance. with
this last named agency, Gary Il Har-
mons, is estimated at $500, 900. The
total loss by fire is thought to be
greater than wasat first reported and
is now put at s., 500, 900. 1t is esti-
mated in general terms that the in
surance is fifty per cent. of the loss.
About three hundred families are
burned out, and relief is much
needed.

PENNSYLVANIA RAIL
ROAD.


PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The Di-
rectors Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company met this morning and de-
clared a semi-annual dividend Of
per cent. This deviation from the
usual per cent. seems to have been
anticipated on account Of the long
continued depression in all branches
of business. Opinion is commonly
expressed among business men here
that it is sound policy for our large
railways to husband their re-
sources until times brighten rather
than distribute all their profits, and
that the public will generally APP
prove the step taken as keeping the
company in a strong financial posi-
ton and enabling t,while fully main-
tanning its property, to provide album
dant facilities for the centennial year.

THE TANGLED TRIAL.
Mrs. TiItOn Anxious to Testi-
fy-BOwen Summoned.

New YORK May 1.-The proceed
ings in the Brooklyn scandal trial
ended this week with the close of de-
fendant's case and the beginning of
the rebuttal evidence.
1t is said Mrs. Tilton has frequent
ly expressed strong hopes of being
permitted to take the witness stand
to defend her honor, and is very in
dignant at being restrained from so
doing by legal authority. She de-
clares she has more at stake than Mr..
Beecher, and threatens to appeal per-
sonally to Judge Neilsonand demand
to be heard.
General Tracy decidedly objects to
Mrs. Tilton testifying. lie says her
testimony will be greatly restricted,
and everything occurring between
herself and husband in the privacy
of the marital relation would be OBJ
jected to by the prosecution and rul-
ed out as confidential and privileged.
She could do nothing except deny the
alleged criminal intimacy, and the
prosecution would throw discredit
upon her former varied declarations.
1t is understood that Bowen has
been subpenaed by Tilton, and viii
be recalled in rebuttal in "a few days.
Some important developments are
expected from him.
Mrs. Moulton will also be called,
and her evidence viii also be pro-
duced to rebuff the evidence of Bessie
Turner and the negro Woodley.

CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.
DEATH IN 4 MILL.


PHILADELPHIA, April s0.--Yes-
terday another fatal accidents occur
red in the Ashland paper mill, aud
the victim was an Englishman NAM
ed Samuel Mitchell. He was en-
ployed IN the chemical department,
his business being to prepare the al
kali used in bleaching the paper.
He had finished eating his dinner
and gone down in the cellar to stop
the working of a pump used to raise
the bleaching liquor to a tank above.
The pump was worked by q belt
passed around the main shaft of the
mill, and this belt had to be thrown
off. The ceiling of the cellar is very
low, the whole place is filed with ma
chinery, and the shaft runs about
three feet from the ground.
Mitchell was standing astride of it
preparing to throw off the belt, when
he was whirled around, his legs
striking the rafters, the ground and
the neighb0ring machinery.
One of the worlSmen in the room
above observed pipe shaking, and
went down into the cellar, to see
what was the matter. He stopped
the engine and gave the alarm. -
Mitchell was disentangled and taken
off the shaft. He was then still alive
in few moments.
