Pacific railroad connecting San Francisco
with Los Angeles was laid on the 9Th inst,
with much poanp and ceremony. Charles
Croker President of the road, drove the last
spike, golden one, with silver hammer pre-
sented by the city Of Los Angeles. The road
is now complete to within 100 miles OF the
Colorado river, which will probably be reached
before the close of the year.
Intelligence by way of Bismarck is chat on
the 31st of August Crook was near GIendive,
south of the Yellowstone, en- route to Glendive
for supplies. Terry was on the north side Of
the Yellowstone fifteen miles below G4endive,
marching toward the Missouri.
The sale of the Missouri Pacific railroad
under a foreclosure by the third mortgage
bonds came off at public auction at st. Louis
last week, and attracted a good deal of atten-
ten. Commodore G. K. Garrison, of New
York, started the bidding at $2,OO0,O00. This
was gradually raised to S3,000,000, when the
road was struck off to Andrew Pierce, Jr. The
incumbrance outside of the mortgages under
which the road was sold and exclusive Of the
floating debt, which is small, is about 311,-
600, 900.
For a long time merchants through
out the State Of Minnesota have been
chatting under irreguIarity in bust
ness remittances, and complaints have
been showered upon the authorities. Insti-
tuting rigorous search, two clerks in the st.
Paul postoffice have been entrapped in the very
act of despoiling letters. The culprits are
Charles @. Kelly registry clerk, and John G.
Terry, Jr.. distributing clerk and superintend-
ent of city carriers. Their arrest has caused
genuine sensation in st. Paul.
The Iong-taked-of prize fight between the
bruisers, Joe Goss, of England, and Tom AL
len, of St. Louis, came off in Boone county,
KY, twelve miles south of Covington, on the
9TH inst The CONTESTANTS pummeled each other
for nearly two hours. The st. Louis brute was
getting the best of the fight, and from all ac-
counts, would undoubtedly have thrashed the
Englishman, but, in an unguarded moment, he
administered, in the twenty first round what
the fancy call 'foul' blow, and Goss was de-
clared the winner of the contest. An immense
crowd of roughs, and few people who claim
! to be respectable, witnessed the affair.
daylight attack was recently made upon
bank in the town of Northfeld MINI. At 2
o'clock p. m. eight horsemen, armed to the
| teeth entered the town, dismounred in front
of the bank, walked in, and proceeded with
great GOODNESS to confscate the funds uf the
| institution. They met with a stubborn resist
ance, however. The cashier, j. L. Haywood,
| with extraordinary bravery refused to open the
vault, although knife was held at his throat
and instant death was threatened. His heroism
cost him his life, for in another moment one of
the robbers placed pistol TO his temple and
shot him dead. another employee of the bank
was shot in the shoulder in the effort to escape
worse fate. Then the citizens came to the
rescue, and in the firing that ensued two of the
robbers were killed, and third wounded, the
| latter being carried away by the other five, so
that six escaped, having been unsuccessful in
securing any plumber The surrounding coun-
try was Immediately aroused by the tragic
event, and the chances are excellent for the
capture of the greater number of the bandits.
Advices from Gen. Crooks column indicate
that Sitting Bulls forces have split, the larger
number, in struggling bodies, going in the
direction of the agencies, while about thou
sand hostiles have taken the direction of the
Black Hills, with the intention of making
murderous raid on the miners of that locality.
Crook, with force of 1900 men, is now on
the trail of this latter body, which he hopes'to
overtake ere they reach their destination.
