"A discharged sergeant of the 9TH
cavalry, who arrived in St. Louis on
the 18th instant, pretends togive the
particulars of the massacre of Gen
Custer and his command by the Ind
lans, and makes it appear that Custer
was guilty Of almost insane rashness.
He says however, that Custer and
all the officers of the command ex-
cept lieutenants Sturgis, Harrington
and Porter, stopped on a knoll
mile distant from where the fight took
place and that they were surrounded
and killed after the massacre Of the.
command. Basing his criticisms up
on this statement Gen. Sturgis, the
father of lieut.. Sturgis, is reported as
indulging in some very savage and
unsoldierlike denunciations of Gus
ter, and other army officers in St.
Louis are represented as reiterating
and approving his condemnatory
speeches. From our standpoint it
seems that the babbling sergeant
could not know what he tells, as the
indians would hardly have suffered
him to escape had he been near
enough to be personally cognizant
Of the occurrence. Hence we don't
believe his story. But under any
probably existing circumstances, the
language Of Gen. Sturgis and his
subordinate officers is unjustifable,
and the army is disgraced by having
in its ranks officers who would be
guilty of such conduct toward a
fdeceased comrade.
The Eastern newspapers de-
votes large share Of space to CON-
plants Of intensely hot weather.
In New York sixty cases of SUM-
stroke occurred in one day, and the
increase of sickness is alarming.

Fatal Accident.

ON last wednesday night, about
ten O'Clock, Mr.. Frederick Deifen-
back had the misfortune to fall into
the hole in front of the Centennial
block on Third street, near Bush.
The night was quite dark, and the
darkness was more than ordinarily
confusing, by reason of occasional
flashes Of lightning. As far as we
can learn the place was entirely un =
guarded, and was a most admirable
n'an-trap. The hole was about
fourteen feet deep and the bottom
strewn with pieces of loose rock.
Mr.. Deifenbach alighted upon his
feet and did not at first realize that
he was hurt, but by the time he
was helped out and carried home, it
was apparent that there were good
reasons to apprehend fatal result.
DR.. Joehnig was called to his assist
ance and did all that could be done
for his relief, but after lingering u ntil
about three o'cl ock on Monday
morning, Mr.. Deifenbach expired.
The deceased was about thirty three
years of age and leaves wife and
three young children in very moder-
ate circumstances. He was a lead
ing member Of the Turn Verein So
ciety, and Assistant Engineer of the
Fire Department, and was highly
esteemed by a large circle of friends
and acquaintances. His death is
the result of inexcusable careless
ness, and despite all arguments to
shift the responsibility on to the
shoulders of the owners of the prop
erty, the verdict Of the public gen.
orally is that the blame rests equally
upon the city police, whose duty it
was to see that place so extreme
ly dangerous was properly guarded
day and night. Mr.. Deifenbach
was buried yesterday, the funeral
being attended by the Turner'S and
the Firemen.
At special meeting of Red
Wing Liederkranz and Turnverein
Society, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted.
| Whereas: In view of the loss we
have sustained by the decease Of
our friend and associate, Turner
Fritz Diefenbach, and of the still
heavier loss sustained by those who
are nearest and dearest to him,
therefore, be it
R<solv<d:: That it is but a lust
tribute to the memory of the depart
ed, to say that, regrettlng his remov-
al from our midst, we mourn for one
who was, in every way, worthy of
our respect and regard.
Resol1ed:: That we sincerely con-
dole with the family of the deceased,
in this, their sad aff1iction..
| Rfsolved:: That this heartfelt tes-
timonal Of our. sympathy and sor-
row, be forwarded to the family of
our departed friend by the secretary
Of this meeting, and a copy handed
to each newspaper Of Red Wing for
publication.

Centennial Letter.
For the ADVANCE.

BRISTOL, Pa, July 18th, 1876.
From this quiet town of 1900 in
habitants, there are several ways to
reach its greater but younger neigh
boz, Philadelphia. The Oldest in
habitants can remember when the
covered wagon served for car and
the sloop for a steamboat but now
several fine steamers plough the
waters of the Delaware, while by
the Pennsylvania Railroad one can
go direct to the Centennial in less
than an hour.
The scenery along the Delaware
is very fine, and as from the steam
er one sees beautiful country-seats,
and little, thickly.shaded villages
which have sprung up, not as most
western towns do, for business in
terests, but that people weary Of
the dust and hustle of city life may
get away from business and:it wea-
risome accompaniments; he can
scarcely realize that but two cen
turies ago the Indians occupied
these lands and all westward to the
Pacific. Looking out upon the
blue water and =. the green woods
and thinking Of the mighty changes
that have been and may be in the
space of hundred years, one can
begin to realize the depth of Whit
tiers lines
Our fathers God, from out whose hand
The centuries fall, like grains Of sand.
Scarcely day passes without
one or more steamers heavily laden
with picnic parties. Waiting the
other day at Chestnut st. wharf,
Philadelphia, with some two or three
hundred others who wanted to 20
on board the Bristol steamer, Col
unlbia, | took occasion to count the
passengers who came pouring off:
Had waited many a time for as
great number to come ashore, and
estimated the number at four hum
dred, which seemed such an exag-
geration when came to speak of it
was tempted to take off fifty, but
by actual count four hundred and
hfty-one came off the boat, while a
large number stayed on, and that is
only a fair specimen of a Delaware
river picnic.
Going to the city by rail one sees
here and there field of grain, with
a good many tents pitched in it.
Soldiers ? No. Camp-meeting
Not exactly. Those tents cover
some of the beautiful farming imple-
ments that add so much beauty and
excite so much admiration in Agri.
cultural Hall. There they dis.
played their polish. Now they
have a chance to show whether
they were made to sell or to work.
Woods self-binder is declared a
perfect success. Two horses and
one man are all that is necessary in
an ordinary harvest feld-or a
woman might drive. No three dol.
lars day to pay to itinerant bind.
ers who want three and half if a
farmer is in a pinch. No lunches
to send out, no extra cook through
harvest. And they do say the bun.
dies are better bound by Woods
selfbinder, than by hand. Let us
all go to farming j.!
The old reapers are not prepared
to retire before this new rival with
out fighting a good fight. c. H

PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES

The improvements on these are Of such
nature as to make them ,frst.class power
We have added larger wheels, making easier
draft in moving, and the adjustable fange hubs
are admirable. We have no hesitation in sav-
ing, that for low prlce, strength of power: and
economy, our Ten-Horse Portable Enc;ne h.s

II has been very properly suggested that
there shall be general overhauling BY the
present Council of the accounts Of al the
city officials This should be done immedt-
ately, and the search should be more thor
ough than some previous Investigations Of a
similar character. II is known that there
has been loose and careless administration
Of city affairs for the past two years and a
half Some Of the men connected with the
1ats Administration axe under indictment for
stealing, and one Is fugitive from justice
after having paundered the people Of hun
dred thousand Or more. It is notorious that
= bad class OF men have fastened themselves
upon some Of the departments, and that
many Of the principal officials ha1e asso-
ciatated With gamblers and backlegs, There
is sufficient provocation, therefore, for gen
eras and searching examination Into the &C
counts Of all the departments, and 81 actual
count Of all the money claimed as On hand
or IN bank. # such an examination be made
without single exception, Ii will be ro-

About the only ereditaalo thing that
Plymouth Church has done for some time was
the unanimous vote Thursday evening to ex-
pei Bowen. The position which tho Church
has assumed toward 1lr. R3xcHEn demanded
this action- It could not with any decent
regard for truth or dignity, retain as one at
its members 8 man who has announced its
pastor as an adulterex and perturar, and who
still persistently refuses to reveal the evi-
denco of it which he claims to have in his
possession. Bowen himself Is not entitled
to any sympathy, and probably none will be
wasted upon him. He has acted the part of
scandal-monger and tala friend from the
beginning. He dismissed It1Tos from the
Independent and the Brooklyn Union for
doing just what he prompted him to do.
Since BEEoHrR's trial be has gone about With

Whatever suspicion may have been cash
upon Mr. B. Il CAAP8zn1,, the United States
Marshal Of this district, By the first develop
ments Of the fraud psacticed upon Miss
SWEET BY D1AKz1x, her predecessor in The
Office Of Pension Agent, OAnPBE1L has 7ln-
dicated himself by his recent statement be-
fore tho Committee, and by the prompt
restitution Of the money which Miss
SWEET had paid CAMPBELL did not receive
the money himself, but it was paid directly
to the bank aud credited On B1AKELx's note,
which CAn4BE1L bad indorsed This shows
that there wes no effort at concealment on
CAxRpE11a part, as there probably would
have been had he been cognikant Of the fact
that Miss SWEET was paying this money as
consideration for obtaining the Office, and
under threat that she would be removed If
she failed to do so. Mr. CAMPBELL is not the
only gentleman in Chicago who has suffered
from financial dealings with this man BLAKE
Ii; but the experience Of the others has
been confined to the lending Of money which
they never heard Of afterwards, while CAMP
BELL was doubly unfortunate in B1AKE1r's
effort to make somebody else pay his dobt in
an unlawful and disreputablo manner.

The American Consul at Salonica, who hos
occasioned SO much e1citement in oonneo-
ton with the recent massacre by chs Mo-
hamnedans at that place, Ii appears, is In
reality Greek Consular AGENT who wns ap-
pointed Feb. 81, 1870. The Consular Agency
is directly dependant on the Consulate Gem
esal at constant1nople, which post is filed
by M. EUGENE SCHUYLER, late Secretary OF
Legation to Russia The error In regard to
the origin Of the massacre Is as glazing as
the error in regard to the official position.
So far from having anything to do With The
massacre, or the rescue Of the abducted
Greek gid, It now appears that the Consular
Agent, P. H. LAzzARo, Was not in sa}onioa
Ut the time. The two oflcin1s killed were
the French Consul, 11r. Aoo11s, and the
German, Mr. II. ABDor7.

About all that is clear from tho dispatches
this morning as to the progress Of the Con-
gressional investigation into the alleged cor
ruption in Louisiana is that deal OF tall
lying has been developed If the testimony
nf the witness FERGUSON is true, evidently
some Of tho Federal officers at New
Orleanc ought to be in prison for naisappror
printing Government funds for purposes Of
political bribery. They have telegraphed
dcnid5 Of FenousoH's testimony. He re-
peats his former testimony, which, as It Is
given under oath and subject to cross-oxami-
nation, can scarce bo met by mere denials by
telegraph And it looks as though further
vigorous investigation would Be required to
fetch out the whole truth.
