Mysterious Disappearance.

A very remarkable case of mysterious
disappearance was brought to light here
to-day. The name of the missing man
is or was S. B. w. Gill, prominent
lawyer of the Allegheny county bar and
one of the wealthiest citizens of Pitts
burgh. 1t appears that Mr.. Gill left
his home in Allegheny about the middle
of September. He took with him his
only daughter, young lady of 10 years,
who has for the past two years been in
attendance at Vassar College. Mr.. Gill
accompanied her to Poughkeepsie, and,
after seeing his daughter once more in
the midst OF school duties, continued up
the Hudson to Albany, where he had
some business to transact. The last
heard from him was seven weeks ago, at
Albany, when he wrote to his wife and
son in this city, in which he stated that
he had arrived safely at his destination.
1t is supposed that the letter was written
Immediately after Mr.. Gill reached the
city, or, perhaps, on the steamer on the
way there, and mailed as soon as he ar
rived. Since then no communication has
been received from him. A few days
ago his son, Mr.. Harry w. Gill, who is
also member of the bar, went to Albany
to make search for his father. The
trip was fruitless one. MIR. ellis name
could not even be found upon any of the
hotel registers of the place. The parties
with whom he was to have transacted
business had not seen or heard OF him,
and his son was compelled to return,
sick at heart and confident that death
must have come to his father in some
unknown manner, either by accident or
by foul play. Pittsburgh Post.

He Pleaded Guilty.

An amusing scene occurred at the re-
cent arraignment of prisoners at the
Criminal Court. A colored man stoutly
pleaded not guilty to a charge of bur
glary, and, as he had no money, Judge
Jones beckoned toward one of the young
and rising counselors present and re-
marked:
"Mr. -, I appoint you to defend
the prisoner.
The colored burglar rolled his eyes
with horror when he heard the name of
the hero of hundred convictions men
toned in connection with his case, and
eagerly cried:

THE CUSTER MASSACRE.

Graphic Account of the Fight as Told by
Sitting Bull-How the Brave Custer Met
His Death.
Sitting Bull has been talking with
correspondent and telling the story of
the Custer massacre. He says: "The
fight was hell. A thousand devils-the
squaws-were like flying birds; the bull
let's like humming- We thought
we were whipped; not at first, but by
and by. Afterward no. Your people
were killed. 1 tell no lies about dead
men. These men who came with the
Long Hair (Custer) we're as good
men as ever fought. When
they rode up their horses were tired and
they were tired. When they got off
their horses they could not stand firmly
on their feet. They swayed to and fro,
so my young men have told me, like
limbs OF Expresses in great wind. Some
of them staggered under the weight of
their guns, but they began to fight at
once. But by this time our camps
were aroused, and there were plenty
of warriors to meet them. They
fired with needle guns. We replied
with magazine guns-repeating rifles"
Sitting Bull illustrated by patting
his palms together with the rapidity
of fusilade. "Our young men rained
lead across the river and drove the white
braves back, and then rushed across
themselves, and then they found that
they had a good deal to do. The trouble
was with the soldiers. They were 80
exhausted, and their horses bothered
chem so much, they could not take good
aim. Some of their horses broke away
from them, and left them to stand, and
drop and die. All the men fell back,
fighting and dropping. They could
not fire fast enough, though. They kept
in pretty good order. They would fall
back across a gully and make fresh
stand beyond, on higher ground. There
were great many brave men in that
fight, and from time to time, while it was
going on, they were shot down like pigs
They could not help themselves. One
of the officers fell where the last fight
took place, where the last stand was
made. The Long Hair stood like
sheaf of corn with all the ears fallen
around him."
Not wounded ?"

How many stood by him."
ga few"
"When did he fall ?"
&c He killed man when he fell. He
laughed"
"You mean he cried out?"
"No; he laughed. He had fired his
last shot"
"From carbine ?"
"No; pistol"
"Did he stand up after he first fell P"
she rose up on his hands and tried
another shot, but his pistol would not
go off,"
"Was any one else standing up when
he fell down ?"
"One man was kneeling-that was all;
but he died before the Long Hair"
Sitting Bull says there were only
squaws, old men, and little children in
front of Reno, keeping him in his strong
position on the bluff and preventing him
giving aid to Custer.

Curious Suit.

The New Jersey Supreme Court has
rendered an interesting decision, in the
case of Mrs. Emma l.. Stanley against
John Chamberlain, the noted gambler.
The suit was for the rent of building
which Chamberlain used in his business
The defense was that the premises were
leased for immoral purposes. The Cir
cult Judge ruled that, if plaintiffs agent
knew at the time of leasing that the
premises were to be used for illegal
purposes, plaintiff herself was charged
BILE with her agents knowledge, and
could not recover. So plaintiff was non
suited. The Supreme Court, reviewing
the case on a writ of error, reversea
the judgment, and says defendant,
Chamberlain, is not in q position to in
woke in his defense this rule of law.
The knowledge of the agent in this case
cannot be regarded az knowledge by the
principal. The plaintiff, upon discov.
ering what her agent had done, had the
right to disavow his act, and she is en-.
titled to recover on quantum valebai
for use and occupation.

ministration after the other. 1 don't
want the holders of offices to become
mere set of toadies, bowling down with
the same grace and weakness to all adj
ministrations as they come along" The
Presidents order was, Mr.. Ingersoll
thinks, grossly misconstrued by subor-
dinate officials, and he added: Fittings
will come out all right, after these rough
edges are worn down, and Hayes and
the people come to understand each
other. He who has SO well agreed with
the South cannot long disagree with the
North"

A History of Some of the Outlaws Bloody
Deeds.

[From the Chicago Tribune.1
The most famous and extraordinary
tragedy in which Rande has figured was
that which occurred near the little town
of st. Elmo, Ill, Sept. IL, 1877, in
which the outlaw, having murdered John
r. Scoles, and being pursued bya posse
of 100 citizens. killed Frank Barnes and
Frank Wiseman, wounded George Side
mar, shot three horses, and escaped. At
that time the hero of these exploits was
thought to be Frank Nichols, but the
proof is now positive that it was Frank
Rande.
The little village of ST. Elmo, ILL.,, stu
ated on the Vandalia road, seventeen
miles from bingham, was, on the morn
ing of Sep. II, 1877, thrown into intense
excitement by the preparation of the
murders herewith detailed: About 8
o'clock that morning Mr.. John Scoles,
most estimable citizen of the village,
with his family, returned to their resi-
dence, situated in the midst of thickly-
built part of the place, from visit East,
where they had been absent for several
days. On entering the house, he i'm
mediately discovered that it had been
robbed of numerous articles of value,
and from several indications was con-
WINGED that the burglar had but just left
the place, as he had left freshly-pre-
pared breakfast on the table. This fact
induced Mr.. Scoles to commence, instant
carefully through the house, out-houses,
and out in the rear yard, going toward
his stable. As he did 30, he perceived n
man running rapidly through the field
to the rear, looking back, and showing
unmistakable evidence of being the party
wanted trying to escape. Mr.. Scoles
mounted horse standing near.
and started in pursuit, watched by
his excited family. When within
about thirty yards of the man, Scoles
ordered him to halt. The villain did so,
but, with consummate GOODNESS and MUIR
/ derous daring, he drew q revolver and
fred, shooting Mr.. Scoles three times,
each shot giving fatal wound, one TAX
ing effect in the head and two in the
body. Mr.. Scoles fell from the horse
and expired in about three minutes, liv-
ing until his family and two or three OBJ
servers reached him, to whom he spoke
few words.
The news spread with electric rapid
ty throughout the village, and in about
twenty-five minutes upward of 100 men,
armed with hastily -seized rifles, revolv.
ers and shot guns, were in close pursuit.
Owing to the country being very level
there, the rapidly-escaping fiend was
still in fair view to the pursuers. He
was fleeing like deer, urged on by his
great desperation, bat the numerous
pursuers, many being mounted, swiftly

Meantime Wright was guarding the

that way for second, to see that there
was no danger from that quarter, my
man slipped another navy from his peck

of the desperate encounter in the pawn
shop is as follows: 81 met Officer
White on the corner of Fourth street
and Washington avenue about 8 o'clock
this morning. He asked me to go with
him to Wright's pawn-shop, saying that
there were two men in there whom
Wright wanted arrested. He also said
the men were desperate characters, for
whom the detectives had been looking
for ten days. We walked around to the
place, and, as we entered, Wright nod
ded with his head, intimating to us whom
we should take in charge. Officer White

the same thing with the other fellow.
White had no sooner uttered the words
than the prisoner whipped out navy
revolver and cooked it. 1 grabbed the
weapon with both hands, but in spite of
all / could do the man pulled the trigger.
White staggered and said he was shot in
the leg. 1 held on to the pistol, and
the man managed to cock it again. He
was powerful one, tell you. Placing
my thumb on the hammer of the pistol
1 held to it like grim death, but finding
that White was losing strength rapidly,
and that matters were in desperate
condition, I yelled to Wright, who all
this time had the other man covered
with revolver: Shoot this fellow,
Wright he will kill White. Wright
turned toward my man and fired. AT
that instant my man yelled, I'm shot
here, pointing to his breast but imme-
diately tackled me again. White by
this time had fallen to the floor, weak
ened by the loss of blood, and was calling
to me to prevent my antagonist from
again firing. The scuffle continued I'M
