From the Black Hills.

CHEYENNE, September LA special
correspondence Of the Cheyenne Standard,
dated Deadwood, August 2Sd, contirms
the death ut the hands Of the Indians, Of
Isaac Brown, Charley Holland, A. Smith
and Leon Mason. The first named was
from Virginia City, New, a member Of
the firm OF Lee & Brown, owners OF one
OF the best claims in the Deadwood dis.
trict, which has been averaging 1000
day for some time: ''
Holland halls from Sioux City, and
Smith was preacher, late OF Kentucky.
Mason, Of Denver, was killed while in pur-
suit OF the party who killed Smith on the
night Of the 22d. Dan. Baum, OF Cincin.
natl, was shot and killed by James Young
in a saloon in Deadwood.
News. from Custer to the same paper
gives the details Of the killing OF four
men by the Indians near that place
on the 23d ult. while on the way to
their hay camp. No names given.
A party pursued the Indians, who mum.
bered by the trail %, and followed them
to the hay camp, but the Indians had
been there in advance and taken every
thing but a grindstone. The place where
these men were ambuscaded was at the
head Of a long canyon running to the east.
The Indians, hiding in the rocks, watch
ed for their approach. They were not
killed at the first fire, as the bodies
of two men were foundin the rocks where
they fed. The complete census OF the In.
dians present at the Red Cloud Agency
to whom rations will be issued in the tu-
ture fall short Of 5000, and gtown males
1000. Recruits for the vtrious regi-
ments in the field are daily arriving at

a Fresh Excitement.

MONROE, La, September Ia fresh
excitement sprung up last night in con-
sequence OF reporta that the negroes were
arming in the northern part Of the par
ish and were coming TO burn the town.
About seventy-fye negroes, mounted and
on foot, were found at Capt. HIllops
place. A parley ensued, and the negroes
refused to disarm, and said they would
come back with Eve hundred men. Capt.
Theo. Bales, with fifteen men, blockaded
the road with rails. The news spread,
and the whites from this and Moorehouse
parishes armed and went to the scene OF
The difficulty. The excitement was in
tense, but nothing occurred, and not a
gun was fired. The whites, including
come Of the best men OF this section,
acted with the greatest forbearance.
One freedman OF the armed negroes said
they were told 10 arm by the sheriff Of
the parish, who is colorcd, and came to
Monroe to burn the town. In the south
ern portion OF the parish, where the
houses were fred into and the trouble
begun, leading citizens report all quiet.
Some scattering demonstrations were they
say were made last night, but nothing
serious. The situation is decidedly anX-
ious, but the leading citizens are proceed
ing with prudence and moderation; not a
loud word has been heard in town.

MR, JOHN Bsuor arrived home last
evening from his trip to Europe. He
sailed on the Nth OF June last, and al
though he has not yet been absent quite
three months he has nevertheless done
considerable travelling, having spent some
time in England, France, Switzerland
and Germany. He has seen enough to
entertain his friends for many days to
come with all sorts OF interesting and
instructive narratives. No. man can
see more on such trip, or tell
more about 1t, than Mr.. Bishop
lie has had very pleasant ex'
cursion and looks rs brown as berry
We notice that he has dropped his crutch
and taken to a cane exclusively. He
SAYS that Europe came fully up to his
expectations, and thinks it is a pretty
good country to travel in, especially Paris
wherc the attractions seemed to have
charmed him more than all other places
put together. They are gay and happy
in Paris, and man with cane forget'
his disability and becomes as one OF the
festive throng. Therefore it is a
good place for invalidS. Mr.. Bishop''
many friends will bc glad to know that
the little matter OF business on which he
went the settlement OF the estate left to
himself and relatives, pans out all right,
aud will pay the expenses Of several trip
across the Atlantic.

The Late Brutal Prize Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, September 1.-The
prize fight at Pennville yesterday is a
prominent and exciting topic to-day, be-
cause OF its brutality and its tragical end
ing, as well as because the partiespartic-
ipatiug nearly all belong here. The
pugilists, James Weldon and Phillip
Walker, alias Keesler Bob, resided in this
city. Walker, who was barely 90 years
Of age, was help in n foundry. They had
fought before, Weldon winning the battle.
Both had been in training five weeks for
yesterdays battle, Weldon at the house
OF Jno. Clark and Walker under the
direction Of Sam Colyer. Weeden is u
native Of England and Walker was Of
German extraction. The fight took place
near Pennville, nearly opposite New Cas-.
tie, Del, and was witnessed by about one
thousand rougbs, who openly delied the
sheriff and his officers and after the fight
eluded them, coming up the river on
small boats and landing at various points.
Seyenty-six rounds were fought, but in
the'last one Walker was unable to strike
blow, and at It's end he lay wholly in
sensible on the grass and Colyer threw up
the sponge. Walker did not revive, and
died before he could be brought home. His
body was found lying on the Salt works
wharf last night, the men who had
brought it there having escaped. The
post mortem examination held to-day in
dicates that death was caused by con-
cussion of the brain. The officers have
been hunting for participants in the fight
all last night and to-day, but 80 far only
John Clark, one Of the chief Prompters
OF the affair, has been arrested.
A report comes this afternoon that
Weldon, Walkers murderer, is also dead,
having died OF his injuries at one Of the
city hospitals, but the intelligence is not
confirmed.

Ward school houses, and is derived from
the Is cents (the amount levied last year,
assessed upon every SlOO Of said real and
personal property. The amount collect.
ed for the former fund last year (from
the 25 cents on the SlOO) was sS4,946 "a,
and for the latter from the IL cent tax)
$9O,9O7 93. Together they represent
S55,9l4 81 Of the taxes paid by the peo-
pie Of Wheeling for the year 1875.
This amount does not however repre-
sent all the receipts Of the two funds.
The State appropriation to the school
fund last year amounted TO SlQl94 3S.
And in addition to this amount (for this
fund) there was $4,621 Ss on hands to be-
gin the school year with, and there was
also obtained from other sources $l6,-
3G7 0S. Making a sum total for the
school fund Of S6G,120 4S. The
"other sources" referred to, represents
loan Of Sl5,9lO SO from tho Peoples
Bank. From this loan, however, the bal
ancc OF receipts over expenditures is to
be deducted, viz: S6,OO7 (Which shows
that our actual receipts fell short olex.
penditures by s9pl2 80. In other words,
the school fund stands that much hshort at
the close OF the year.
The Building fund account is also short
at the end OF the year by $3.50 50. There
was balance Of 81, ,429 So to commence
the year with, and there was collected
from the 10 cent tax for that year $780,
067 %; and there was also $256 81
derived from other sources, max
ing n total of receipts of $97,554 II,
against an expenditure of SSO,7S4 "a.
Against this shortage, however, the
building fund holds bills receivable to
the amount Of 81 $50 90, so that the fund
is only $3.50 50 behind. It's principal
expenditures last year were for the Third,
Sixth and Seventh Ward school houses.
These three items represent $26 ,24O 81.
The other main item is the purchase OF
the johnson property in front OF the
First Ward school house, for which 1000
was paid,
The school fund account shows an ex-
penditure Of S6O,l2l 81 for running ex-
penses for the year. OF this sum total,
$50, Jos 80 was paid ont to teachers,
which includes S2,497 SO paid for in.
struction in German, and Sl,SG6 so for
the night schools. In addition to
these expenditures, Sl,lOO was paid to
the City Superintendent, $500 to the
Clerk Of the Board, and 81 ,42O so TO the
anitors Of the various school houses.
There was also paid out for "fuel and
contingencies sum total OF sS,s2l 81,
and for "repairs" S5,OO5 9S. The "iurni.
ture" account amounted to 800 90; the
books and stationary furnished to poor
children to SSOS A, and the Collectors,
commissions to 81 ,O09 81,
These are the main itemN Of the grand
sum total of SGO,122 81 spent last year in
running the schools, and Of the SSO,784 81
spent in providing school buildings. The
account AZ thus analyzed cannot fail to
be Of interest to all classes OF taxpayers.
1t shows what tremendous amount OF
money is voluntarily spent by the people
OF this community in one year in the in
terest of free instruction for the rising
generation.

An Old Fashioned Democratic
Meeting at Weston Yesterday
A Big Row and a Free Fight at
1.-The Close. e


Special 10 tho. IntellIgCnecr.
This was the day set for The Democratic
County Convention and II has-turned out
to be q high old occasion. There was a
very large attendance, some estimates
placing the number present as high as
1900. This large crowd was drawn
together by the understanding that
joint discussion was to take
place between Gof and Mathews, the
two candidates for Governor. Those
two gentlemen were on hand ready for
the discussion, but were choked of by
the local Democratic aspirants, especially
the Arnolds. The feeling in the conven-
ton ran very high, and the body finally
broke up in big row, with hscvcral fights
and general dissatislaotion' rand demoral-
ization. No nominations were made.
This fact, more than anything else, will
show you the nature OF the excitement.
Senator John S. Garlic, OF Clarksburg,
was present aud addressed large crowd
this evening. He made a brilliant speech
and onetbat told upon his hearers with
great effect, and the Republicans are ju'
bilant.
The joint discussion between Golf and
Matthews comes of tomorrow.
