A HUSBAND was reading aloud the
evening newspaper to his wife, when
he stopped breathlcss; summary in
capital letters of an atrocious crime had
stified him; when he recovered breath
he gasped: "Heavens! Here is an ac-
count of a most horrible murder! A
woman mangled, drawn, and quar-
tered!" His wife exclaimed: "Non
Dieul Non Dieu! Non Dieul How horri-
BILE. And is anybody suspected?" Hus-
band (peevishly snubbing his wife) {:
"Why, of course 1t was done by her
husbaud!"

PRESIDENT HAYES.
His Triumphant Tour Through Oh

His Triumphant Tour Through Ohio.
Dayton, Sept. 1.-THE Presidential
party left Fremont in special coach
this morning on the HIS train and
stopped only at the most important
stations, at every one Of which hun
dreds Of, people had gathered to see the
President. at Springfield vast num-
ber of people had assembled at the
depot, to whom the President said a
few words, simply referring to his
speech of last January, and stating
that he was endeavoring in all faithful
ness to carry out the policy it fore
shadowed. AS the train moved off
cheer after cheer was given by the
people.
AS the train entered Dayton cannons
were fired and constant cheering was
kept up by thousands Of people.
At nine o'clock procession pro-
ceeded to the residence of Mr.. Ander-
son, where several thousand people had
assembled, and loud calls were made
for the President, who spoke as fol-
lows:
My Good Friends of Dayton: When
l last had the pleasure of speaking
from this door, remember there was
a great deal of anxiety felt throughout
the country regarding the presidential
election-not so much as to the result
of the election as the manner in which
the result should be ascertained. While
1 cannot remember what then occurred
to me to say, 1 do remember that you
seemed to agree with me that lawful,
peaceable methods were alone proper to
be pursued in ascertaining that result.
The general wish of the American peo-
pie is in favor of determining every
question that may arise between states,
between state governments and the
national government, and between the
people of different races, in lawful
and peaceable manner, and accordingly,
when these devolved upon me the chief
magistracy of the United States, it
occurred to me that the American peo-
pie would be glad to have such methods
applied to the relations then existing
between states and between white and
blacks, as would if possible settle these
differences peaceably, and bring back
the republic to the condition in which
it was one hundred years ago, when our
fathers were one on all questions. If
this meets the approval of my friends
at Dayton, then 1 am very sure that
what has been done has been done with
proper motives and in spirit which
you approve. The particular way men
may differ about, but the end 1 feel
confident men cannot differ about.

WASHINGTON.
The Army Estimates.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE esti-
mates for the support of the army for
the present fiscal year have been pre-
pared by the War Department and sent
to the Treasury Department, which
will transmit them to Congress at the
extra session. These are the only esti-
mates to be sent in.
The question regarding the Presi-
dents sending the usual annual mes
sage and report of executive depart
ments to the extra session has been
considered in the Cabinet. 1t was
agreed that the message and accompa-
nying documents should relate only to
the business for which Congress is to
be especially convened, and not to gen.
eral subjects of legislation. 1t is
thought therefore that the message will
be brief.

THE CABLE COMPANIES.
Statement. from Cyrus w. Field.


New York, Sept. ll.-Cyrus w.
Field states that the declarations made
by Secretary of State Evarts concern
ing the amalgamation of the Direct
and Anglo-American Gable Companies
were based upon a misconception of the
facts. He states that Eastman and
others years ago secured an act of Con-
gress which authorized them to lay
direct European cable, permitting them
to land it anywhere on the American
coast except the shores of Florida.
This franchise was sold to Siemens &
Co., contractors for laying the cable,
who in turn disposed of it to an Eng
lish company. When Siemens went to
Europe to negotiate the sale, Mr.. Field
states that he bore letter signed ''U.
S. Grant, President of the United
States,n certifying to the correctness
of the act, and also a document from
the then United States attorney general
giving his opinion of the legality of the
act and the power under it to land a
cable on the American shores.

SIEGE OF PLEvNA.
Great Guns and Singing Shells
The Russians Attack the Redoubts OF
of Plevna-Reported Capture
of the Place.

London, Sept. ia correspondent
at Plevna, under date of Saturday, at
p. M, says the Russians had during the
night gained large slice Of ground in
the direction of Grivisa, and battery
of siege guns had been built on an ele-
walton within easy range of the re-
doubt. At sunrise that battery came
into action in rear OF the advanced bat
terry and sent its fire sweeping into the
redoubt, which could not reply to the
siege battery, the range being too long,
so it pounded away at the field batteries
on the ridge, but the practice was not
good and few casualties occurred. The
Russian siege battery made admirable
practice at the Grivisa redoubt, which
is the key to the position.
The assault was intended to begin
yesterday afternoon at 8 O'Clock, but
owing to delays the troops were not in
position at the appointed time. Every
where now the infantry is in position
waiting for the word. ...
Towards noon the infantry pushed
forward in skirmishing order, driving
back the outlying Turks. The artillery
follow and come into action at short
range. The Turkish return fire, chiefly
directed at the Russian first line of ar
tillery, is very heavy, but little harm is
done.
Further on the left, to the crest of
the range beyond Radisova, which was
one array of field batteries, the firing
was very heavy, the Turkish shells do
ing great damage among the gunners,
and falling behind among the infantry
on the reserve slope and in Radisova.
At O'Clock the Russians advanced
toward the Turkish positions and con-
tinued to fire without ceasing. The
fire must have reached into Plevna.
The Russian cannon is drawing close
around the Turkish positions and the
tug of war is expected tomorrow.
London, Sept. 12.-6 a. m.-There is
no late news from Plevna, although at
Vienna the widest reports are current
of its capture and of the prodigious
slaughter of the Turks. One of these
reports even says Osman Pasha is a
prisoner.
A Vienna correspondent says the
reports about the fall of Plevua, which
are traced to Roumanian sources have
not been confirmed from any side. 1t
is variovsly surmised that the Russians,
having approached within striking dis
tance, are awaiting the movements of
their turning columns, which are sup
posed to have been sent to the flank
and rear of Pleyna or that the
Turks may have fortified 'Plevna so
strongly that it is only to be taken by
gradual approaches, and the whole plan
of attack may thus have to be changed.

GEN. SITTING BULL.
A Report That He Has Left
Canada.
With q Sensational Story as to His
Reasons for Going-Maj- Walsh's
Bravery.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Worlds
Wolf Rapids dispatch says:
Bill Culverson, a Government scout,
was the cause of Sitting Bull being
turned out of Canada. 1t occurred in
this way: The British officers and
Sitting Bull had a council, after which
the tribe performed the usual dance,
Culverson, who is a young half-breed,
joining in. After it was over he be-
came excited, counted his scars, and
said to Sitting Bull:
'Look, have killed so many Of your
hostile redskins
Sitting Bull drew his revolver, a
movement initiated by Culverson, but
before either could shoot, Major Walsh,
with his revolver drawn, sprang be-
tween them and told Culverson to put
his pistol away. Turning to Sitting
Bull he said:
II want you to understand that you
cannot commit any of your deyiltries
here, as you do in the United States.
1 will give you and your tribe five days
to leave this country, and if you are
not gone then, or if you ever return l
will fight you. If you are ever caught
here again, or if you shoot this an,
I will have you hanged by your neck
until you are dead"
Sitting Bull took the hint and left
the next morning.

1.-THE MAN WITHOUT EARS"

After the death of Crazy Horse his
body was born to his village, where the
mourning friends paid their humble
tribute to his memory, after which the
village moved toward Spotted Tail
Agency to lay the remains away. They
say Red Cloud Agency is not on hal
lowed ground.
The feeling among the Indians is
generally good. They say that Crazy
Horse was 1.-THE man without ears,
who would not listen to counsel" His
father remarked that the whites had
killed his son; but he was fool and
would not listen; it was a good thing.
Good Voice, one of the Brule chiefs,
says the Indians do not blame the
whites for killing Crazy Horse, and
that he brought it all upon himself.
These assertions go to show that most
of the influential men among them are
on the side of the whites.
SHERIDAN on CRAZY HORSE.
Gen. Sheridan says: "Crazy Horse
was mischievous and dangerous NAL
content, and it is good thing for his
people and us that he is dead. He was
the most vigorous and aggressive of all
the Sioux chiefs, and but for him the
late Indian war would not have been
so formidable. Crazy Horse welded a
potent influence over all these thous-
ands of Indians who favored hostilities.
Not only was he the recognized leader
of his immediate followers, but his in
fiuence extended to most of the other
bands, and as q leader he stood head
and shoulders above Sitting Bull. The
latter has grown famous on suppositi-
tious achievements, and has taken
credit for Crazy Horses generalship,
and such victories as he has won.
Sheridan says he never heard of Crazy
Horse until in the winter of 1856.
He took prominent part in the grand
council which was held during that
winter on the Little Horn, and was in
strumental in bringing about the gen.
eral war that ensned. His prominence
and influence have been spreading ever
since. He was the rival of the old
chief Red Cloud.
Crazy Horse understood some Eng
lish, but would never converse with the
whites except through an interpreter.
He was naughty and imperious, and
has been known to punish refractory
members of his band most cruelty, and
still his personal popularity was great,
except with other chiefs, who will prob
ably rejoice in secret at his death. He
leaves a herd of horses behind him
mostly Crazy Horses, including four
squaws, who were wives to the famous
chief, their numerous progeny, and
number of rational equines, which were
not immediate members of his tribe.
For six weeks his wives and children
will howl their anguish at his grave at
daylight every morning, and boiled
beaver, fried buffalo tongue, and other
delicacies known to the Indian cuisine,
will be heaped on his tomb in prodigal-
ity, that he may not want for grub
while on his route to the ''happy hunt
ing grounds"

1T is said that there has been unusual
activity among counterfeiters since the
subsidiary silver coin was put in circu-
lation. The Treasury detectives claim
that they have made an average Of sixty
arrests month since January. About
bushel Of the spurious coin has been
gathered up by the detectives, and
nearly all of it is so well made up as to
pass unchallenged in ordinary business.
The crooked stuff captured is mostly in
half-dollar pieces, though there is a
sprinkling of quarters.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE follow

War Department by Gen. Sheridan:
st. Paul, Sept. 10.-Mr. Forester,
Indian trader on the Upper Missouri
river, informs me that a scout, who
left point twenty miles from Sitting
Bulls camp, about the 23d of August,

A CONGRESS of German tailors, re-
Gently held at Berlin, solemnly resolved
that French and other foreign fashions
ought to be discarded and German
fashions introduced. The dressmakers
it is said, will follow suit, and a de-
termined effort will be made to break
the present uniformity of dress prevail
ing throughout Europe. Then each
country will have again its particular
styles of dress and costume. As FASH
ion is largely matter Of whim, the
German tailors win have their labor
