RUTLAND.-Quite sensation has
been caused in Rutland by the arrest of
IL Mrs. Payson, on charge of writing
obscene letters, for the purpose of black
mail. The persons receiving the letters
were Gen. H. HI. Baxter, and young
lady of respectable family. About
four or five months ago, as the matter
is reported, the young lady received an
anonymous letter, charging her with a
grave fault. This was followed by 9TH
ers of a like tenor, and later the mem
bers of her family were informed of the
alleged crime against social morality.
Gen. Baxter also received similar letters,
accusing him of improper intimacy with
the young lady. The writer wanted
$4,000 for ''hush" money, and proposed
certain arrangements for the transfer of
the money. A girl who called at the
the young lady's house with letter adj

back. An old man, named Bissell, hung
awhile fIom a window sill, and then
dropped and was fatally injured. The
firemen saved others with ladders, but
several were badly injured.

A Daring Exploit by Robbers.

The owl train on the Pennsylvania
railroad due in Jersey Cily at 4 o'clock
Sunday morning was boarded by ban
dts, who robbed and nearly beat to
death Thomas Downing of 156 10th
street, New York. The conductor and
brakemen, who attempted to rescue
Downing, were driven away with re-
volvers. They, however, locked the
car with the ruffians inside and tele-
graphed the police at Jersey City to be
at the depot, but while the train was
running 30 miles an hour, three of the
ruffiaDs jumped from the windows.
The fourth man who describes himself
as John Williams, a sailor of 45 Wash
ington street, New York, was arrested.

STATEMENT OF
Rev. j. S. LITTLE,
OF ST. JOHNSBURY CENTER.
To the Public !

The success of DR.. S. W Smyth who is stopping
for few weeks at the Avenue House, st. Johns
bury, is worthy of his high reputation elsewhere.
Gentlemanly, skilful and humane, and having at
hand all the latest instruments and familiar with
all the latest modes OF treatment he is worthy OF
consultation upon all those diseases of which he
makes speciality. May Sd, he in the presence OF
the writer, removed a large polypus from the nose
of C. o. Pierce, of st. JOhnsbury Center. The
operation skilfuny performed and entirely sue
cessful
In my own case for the treatment of deafness,
find DR.. Smyth using the same instruments and
prescribing substantially the same treatment as
Dr. Blake, of the Infirmary at Boston, whose treat
ment have been under.

Destructive Fire at Providence.
Providence, Sept PA fire broke
out this evening in Waldron, Weighton
& Co.'S building, in the centre Of sew
eral Of the best business blocks, near
the post Office. The fire spread rapidly
and reached the next building to the
post Office. All the buildings on fire
are first-class brick or stone ones, but
present no obstacle to the fire. The
flames have reached the building occu-
pied by the Evening press. and the
Journal Office is in danger. The loss
is already very large. The whole city
fire department is out and aid has been
asked of Pawtucket and New York.
1t is probable that the fire can be con-
fined to the present limits. The build
ings on two sides of the postoffice have
been destroyed, but the government
building, which is of granite, will prob
ably resist the fire. The Journal folks
moved their new type and files, but
think the danger is over. The Press
Office is still in danger, the roof having
been partially crushed by falling walls.
Several companies of the First Light
Infantry have been ordered out aud are
now guarding property. The worst is
probably over.

Speaking Of Conkling's attack on Geo.
VIM. Curtis, says all the coward, vulgar
epithets he could think of were spit out
at his head for daring to defend the
President and his administration, and
his speech was downright declaration

ambition and envy, and so embittered
oy personal spites and revenges that he
loses his temper and imperils the exist
ence Of his party to punish his rivals.

Them To-Day.

Washington, Sept. N.-The Presi
dent to-day received the lSioux and
Arapahoe delegations from Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail Agencies. There
were present, among others, Secretary
Evarts, Secretary Schurz, Commission
er Of Indian Affairs Smith and Gen.
George Crook.
William Welch, Of Philadelphia, ap-
peared in behalf of the Indians, and
opened with a speech in their interest.
The principal point he made was the
complaint Of the Indians regarding
frequent changes in the head of their
bureau. They come here and make an
agreement with Commissioner, but
he is soon removed and his successor
fails to carry out the terms agreed on.
At the conclusion of Welch's speech,
Red Cloud was introduced. He made
a polite bow and then shook hands
with the President, Evarts, Schurz
and other notables, with the tradI-
tional 'tHow." The effect of Red
Clouds speech was spoiled by the
awkwardness of the interpreter, who
seemed to know as little English as the
Indian. One of the requests made by
Red Cloud was that a shorthand re-
porter should take down his words SO
that the Great Father would not for
get them.
After he had concluded several other
Indians spoke, their companions mean
while sitting as silent and motionless
as craven images.
Big Road, in his speech, expressed a
desire to come to Washington once a
year at the expense of the Government.
He wanted a Thousand head of cattle
and a thousand head of sheep. He
wanted a box of money also; not paper
money, but silver, the dollar of his
daddy.
Another expressed desire for a
school in which he could learn to read
and write and telegraph. He was par
ticular in his wish to become tele-
graph operator.
Little Wound wanted white sugar
and better coffee. He wanted also, two
six-horse wagons, four-horse wagon,
and a house like that the President
lived in. He desired religion as well,
and Catholic priests instead of the
Episcopals who are at the Agency.
The council was not finished but ad-
journed till tomorrow morning. The
Indians asked to be introduced to Mrs.
Hayes and the Cabinet, which wish
was gratified. Spotted Tail postponed
his speech until tomorrow.

Patent Office Fire.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The Com
missioner of Patents makes the follow
Ing announcement regarding the late
fire: Apart from the damage done to
the building, the pecuniary less occa-
stoned by the fire is not very great.
No files of pending applications for
patents or of rejected applications were
lost or destroyed, apd no original draw
ings except in very few cases were
destroyed. Those drawings destroyed
were only of one issue, and Of those
photolithographic copies had been made,
so that no Inconvenience will arise
from their destruction. There will be
no interruption Of business. The ex-
animation Of applications will go on as
usual, and patents issued without
delay.
