SITTING BULL BETWEEN TWO
FIRES.
Canada Won't Have Him and His
VARAhOnA RfAnN

NEW YORK, June GA Washington dis
patch says the Canadian government, it is
understood, Is moving for Sitting Bulls ex-
puisiOn. 1t seems that Lord Dufierin gov
elnor general Of Canada, had his attention
called TO the embarrassments and annoy
ances likely to arise from Sitting Bulls
presence among the Black Feet Indians in
Canada, and the matter has been the subject
OF official representation to the British cabi-
net And thence to the British legation here
with the view OF inviti the attention of the
United States government to IL as question
Involving International obligations, il not
treaty rights, as to the remedy. Ire band
are low intruding upon the Black Feet
Irdlans, having presented themselves In q
poverty stricken condition, and without
clothing or food. They ask for ammrni-
tOn, that they may hunt to keep Themselves
from star sing. Besides the apprehensons
which the Black Feet have OF some prOvoca-
ton which may arise from the vagabond
condition OF these lawless and desperate
indians, the farmers are injured to the extent
OF being Obliged to furnish them subsistence
ana other supplies from their own not
abundant stocks. Hence they have made "A
repre- sentation that tits desirable the Cana
dian government should take steps for re-
moval of the interlopers back TO American
soil, where they belong. Accordingly these
and additional facts have been laid before
the S.ate department. with the request that
the Unt1ed States government take steps to
peacefully bring back the Sioux la their own
country, as IL is felt that they should not be
allowed to invade the British territory. The
matter will be allowed to rest for the present
pending consultations.

the flames rusted to the upper stories as
if through flue. Several firemen say
from the windows of the upper story of
the factory men were calling for ladders,
for help, "for Gods sake" but that the
ladders were not long enough tn reach
them, and even If they were they could
not be placed in position owing to the
intense heat. Some fell to the pave
ment and others, after wildly waving
their arms, fell back into the burning
mass behind them. The great eight
story wall on Thirty sixth street fell al
most without notice, and who are burned
under it will not be known until the de-
bris is moved away.
Great excitement prevailed as the
flames leaped to the adjoining building,
tenement-house. Men, women and
children fed for their lives. They
saved nothing, and were fortunate to
even escape with their lives. Up to a
late hour tonight the number of killed
reported was two and injured five.
A large number of persons are missing
and are supposed to have perished in
the flames. The loss is estimated al
about 100000.

A Long Walk,

Yesterday afternoon there arrived in
this city Mrs. Helena Scranton and five
children, the eldest one not being yet
fourteen years old, who have made
very interesting journey within the past
month.
Mrs. Scranton, with her husband and
children, resided on farm in Manitoba,
1870 miles north of the boundary line.
Early in July her husband was taken
sick, and after a brief illness died, leav-
ing his wife family and unharvested
crops to get along as best she might with
out money. To pay the expenses of the
funeral Mrs. Scranton secured an ad-
vance on the growing crops, and, when
she had paid the last tribute to her dead
husband, had nearly ninety dollars in
cash.
With this sum she procured few
necessaries, and, selecting camp outfit
from her household furniture, set out
with her children to traverse 300 miles
of wilderness, hoping with what money
she had left to buy passage by way of
the Northern Pacific Railway and great
lakes for herself and children to Youngs.
town, KY.
The little party were eighteen days on
foot, camping out at night and subsisting
almost wholly on berries and the product
of the boy's-the eldest child-hunting
forages. Occasionally they received as
sistance from settlers, and, meeting a
large stage load of passengers on their
way north, received a paper sack filed
with crackers and purse of eight dol
lars cash. They reached the railroad in
good health, and, receiving reduced rates
of fare by rail and steamer, arrived here
with thirty-eight dollars in hand and in
excellent spirits.
When it is realized that the youngest
child is not yet three years, and that an
other child is just turned five years, the
success of the long tramp will be appre-
ciated. Mrs. Scranton left last even ng
for Kentucky by way of Indianapolis, and
hopes to reach her fathers home Sunday
morning with little money left.-De.

" Boss" Tweed's Rings.

with his counsel, and gave the history of
the various offices he held under the city
He testified to ring that was formed in
the Board of Supervisors for passing ex-
cessive bills in 1860. The ring consisted
of Roach, Briggs and himself. In 1868
Harry Smith was added to it, in 1865
John Fox, and in 1865 James Hayes. In
1869 Isaac j. Oliver and Andrew j.
Blakely were added, but the last two did
not know all that was going on, but they
got their rake. In 1870 the Board of
Supervisors was abolished. The Tweed
ring had nothing to dOwith the Supervisors
ring. The former was under Hoffman's
administration as Mayor, and was COM
posed of witness, John T. Hoffman,
Comptroller Brennan and Street Com
missioner Cornell. They met only for
social and political purposes. Some of
these men went out of office, and this
ring then became composed of A. Oakley
Hall, Comptroller Connolly, Street Com
missioner Mclean and himself.

Judge Lynch at Work.

CINCINNATI Sept. 4.
Henry County, Ky, is in state of
great excitement over the lynching of
four men who were confined in the Jail
at New Castle. For seventeen years the
counties of Owen and Henry, situated in
the southeastern part of the State, have
been terrorized by a gang of banditti who
have shot, burned and stolen almost
without fear of law. The roads in much
of the region are narrow, rocky bride
paths that run along the sides of the
mountain streams. Travel is almost en-
tirely on horseback or on foot, and the
familiarity of the outlaws with every
turn in the roads and dark corners in the
thickets enabled them to put travellers out
of the way with very little inconvenience
and without fear of detection. During
the war many of their murders were
charged to rebel soldiers, and at one time
Gen. Burbridge caused a number of Con.
federates to be shot in retaliation. A few
weeks ago one of the band, named Shuck,
was hung at Owenton. He protested
to the last his innocence, and made q
statement on the scaffold duplicating
several of his comrades. Soon after an
other member of the gang, named Car
ter, made full confession, and on the
strength of this four men were arrested
and lodged in New Castle Jail. Three
of them were brothers named Goodrich; (;
the other was James Simmons. At half
past one o'clock this morning mob,
numbering fifty men, surrounded the
Jail, overpowered the jailer, took the
four men out of their cells, hurried them
a short distance from the building and
hung them in ghastly row. Nobody
seems to know whence the lynchers came
or whittier they went. The officers were
powerless to offer resistance, and the
people, if they know anything, are afraid
to give information. The bodies were
taken down this morning and an inquest
held, but NO further facts of importance
were developed.

Flames and Death.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.
A fire originating in ]. P. Hale's piano
factory on Thirty fifth street, this morn
ing, destroyed about fifty buildings be-
tween Thirty fourth and Thirty seventh
streets, and Tenth and Eleventh ave-
nues, including the piano factory, char
coal yard, barrel factory, several tene-
ment houses, small stores, residences
and liquor stores.
The piano factory was large brick
building, eight stories in height, running
through the block. The fire originated
through Nicholas Monck, a varnisL rub.
Der, who was heating some varnish over
a stove. While his back was turned il
got ablaze, and the flames spread like a
flash. He fed at once for his life, giving
the alarm as he ran, but, the windows be-
ing open, the flames swept through the
building, finding fresh fuel at every step
II is supposed that about 300 men were
employed in the building at the time.
1t cannot yet be ascertained how many
have been burned in the building. The
hatchways in one corner were open ant
