q Rumored Massacre of 800 of
Crooks Command Denied.
New YORK. july 90,

New YORK, July 80.
The following is from Chicago A spec
ial dispatch Tonight brings intelligence,
via Fort Leavenworlh, that IN Indian is
reported to have arrived at Sidney Bar
racks from Gen. Crooks command. He
snys that OH Monday last the Sioux made
sn attack on Gen. Crook, and killed nearly
300 of his command and routed him com
pletely. Your correspondent has made
diligent enquiries at Gen. Sheiidan's bead
quarters, and Gen. Drum, assistant adju-
tant general, says that the report is prepos-
ferrous. Had the Indian come out from
Gen. Crooks vicinity and struck for Sidney
Barracks, he would have been obliged to
pass Red Clond or Spotted Tail agency,
and there is direct telegraphic communica-
ton with those points. Had there been
any truth in the wild rumor it would have
been received at headquarters, and not
leaked out roundabout by way .of Fort
Leavenwortb.
LATER-A CONTRADICTION.
CHEYENNE, July ~.
There is no authority for the report Of
Gen. Crooks fight.
TIE SIOUX WANT HEiNroEcEMENTs.
OTTAWA, July 30.
The Canadian department of the int
rior has just received intelligence from the
commander Of the northwest mounted po-
lice that the Sioux approached the Black
feet indians resident in Canadian territory,
and asked them to take up arms sgainst the
whites, but were refused. The Sioux then
proposed an attack on the Americans
alone, but this also failed to cause an al
lance. This government has a treaty with
the Blackfeet, and it has SO far b, EN- strict
ly observed by both parties.

A MUSICAL Treat.

Last Thursday, at O'Clock P. NJ, q
select musical entertainment was given
at the great Music House OF Rudolph
Wurlitzer, 115 Main street, under the
management OF G.. u. Hunt, the famous
piano man of the West.
The house had just received from the
City Of New York magnificent "Arion
Upright Piano." and the entertainmen MT
was given for the benefit Of the profess
sion.
The exterior Of this instrument is
splendid, but the power and melody of
the tone is simply grand. Under the
management of Mr.. Hunt the "Arion''
will soon become a leading instrument
Id the Western market, as it now is in
the East. Mr.. Hunt handles none but
tirst-class Instruments.
Several very fine pieces were sung by
Miss Hedrick, and number or pieces
performed by Prof. Werner, which were
perfectly transporting.
Mr.. Hunt now begins his work of in
PRODUCING the Afion Piano, and ex-
presses the belief that 1t will become the
leading piano in very short time; for
he says il recommends itself wherever
it goes. The West follows the East.

A Commendable Undertaking.

The Carroll Institute, encouraged by its sue
cess in other charitable affairs, has embarked
in an enterprise which, though novel in char
acter, will, without doubt, produce beneficial
result. The intention is to furnish weekly,
by mail, to the soldiers and sailors at the
different posts and stations throughout the
country the current religious and secular lite
rature of the day, all of which will be made
up by contributions from its friends and me N
bers and from the files of the association. For
this purpose list of names and places is
being prepared, which will be increased from
time to time on application. This undertaking
of our Catholic brethren is a laudable one, and
will reflect TO the donors the thanks of the
soldier aid sailor boys, whether "afioat or

1t seems to have become as customary as
the summer is regular in its visit for number
of the residents of this District to make an
annual trip to Cape May. These excursions
first started and grew out of the pilgrimages
made by two Communicates Of Knights Tenn
plar (Nos. 2 and ~ of this Jurisdiction to the
popular coast city. More recently and prop
erly it has been divested of the outward Ma.
sonic guise and transformed into a citizens
pleasure party. This year the general man
agement Of the affair is in the hands of an
able committee, composed of Messrs. Il. 1.
Gregory, j. r. Thompson and Jas. E. Waugh.
All of the arrangements have been perfected,
and the excursionists will leave this city on
the 21st inst, and be absent five days. The
tickets will admit of a more lengthy absence
If the holder feels inclined to tarry longer at
the seaside or enjoy the Centennial at Phila-
delphia. The committee feel satisfied that
the reduced rates, both for railroad fare and
hotel accommodations, have been fixed at such
reasonable rates as to place the opportunity
for going within the reach of many persons
who were anxious to become members of the
company. By inquiring of any member of
the committee all the necessary information
regarding prices and details can be obtained.
