The Erie-A Profitable Printing Office.
New York, Sept. 21.-Boss Tweed
testified before the aldermanic commit
tee to-day that he was a director in the
Erie railway in 1869. Gould and Fisk
called on him about an injunction they
wanted against Vanderbilt. He called
on Judge Barnard, who granted the in
junction for friendships sake, and for
this they made witness stockholder in
1869. Thereafter he lobbied at Albany
for the Erie company, receiving money
from Fisk and Gould to influence the
legislature. 1t cost some 800, 900 to
carry the tax levy Of 1870. He paid
Senators Graham, Happening, Morris,
Winslow, Wadd and Bowen to vote for
it. Cornelius Corson, Peter B. Sweeny
and himself were the Transcript Print
ing Co. They added 25 per cent. to
their bills and from a capital Of Sl0.-
600 each, declared dividends of from
$4,000 to 100000 each. He said he
had testified falsely before the senate
committee, but was telling the truth
now. Adjourned till Friday.

DAY by day the practical uses to
which the telephone can he applied are
becoming more and more apparent. The
Chicago telegraph operators, at their
ball, danced to music transmitted over
a space Of eighty miles. In New York
many merchants have connected their
homes and place Of business, so that
they can converse with their wives or
servants at any moment in the day.
And 1t has been brought into requisi-
ton on the ride range. It has hitherto
been the custom to signal his score to o
rihemen by means Of flags hoisted at
the target. At Creedmoor, in the great
International Match, the flags were dis
pensed with. A wire was stretched
from the targets to the shooting point,
and telephone attached. The watch
ers were thus enabled to transmit the
score Of each marksmen by word Of
mouth, so that there was no possibility
Of any mistake being made. This is
certainly new departure, and must

water as an astonishing novelty. Its

A Fearful Freshet.

Chattanooga, Sept. 21.-The entire
abundant crops Of cotton, corn and
fodder in the valley of Black Warrior
river, Ala, have been swept away by
the rivers sudden rise Of sixty-three
feet, which Is within two feet Of the
terrible freshet of June, 1872. The
planters had just commenced packing
their cotton and had not hauled the
corn and fodder from the fields. The
cotton crop destroyed is estimated at
thirty thousand bales. Most of the
planters were ruined. 1t is doubtful If
,i,te .ctuai necessaries of life can be
secured now. Tuscaloosa Is about the
head Of the devastated section. Her
merchants had advanced heavily on
these growing crops.

STUBBORN SITTING BULL.
A Correspondents Story Of His
Intentions.
Tired Of Fighting, But Unwilling to Come
Back Over the uns-DscsIysd BY
False Reports.

New York, Sept. 21.-The Worlds
correspondent from the British north
west territories says that Major Walsh,
commander of a battalion of Her Maj
esty's troops, had long interview with
Sitting Bull ON the Esd of August.
The Sioux chiefs force" says the
writer, "now numbering about eleven
hundred souls, Is still encamped at the
Horse Buttes, forty miles this side of
Wood mountain. Sitting Bull rode so
miles with Walsh, and was very COM
municative. He declares he Is sick
and tired Of fighting, but Walsh says
the old man seems to be weaken
ing in his desire to make terms and re-
turn to the states. Had the commits
sioners come here q month ago, there is
no doubt he would have eheerfully re-
turned with them on any reasonable
terms. The delay, Walsh fears, will
render their mission abortive. Sitting
Bull hears all the news from Fort Ben
ton, and his runners have carried back
alarming stories to the effect that, If
the Sioux are induced to cross the from
tier by the commissioners, Gen. Miles
will ambush them on the Missouri and
wipe them off the face of the earth.
The gathering Of American troops in
northern Montana has, in u manner,
confirmed these stories, and Sitting Bull
processes to fear treachery. 1t is said
that the commissioners will not be here
for q month. In that case they will,
almost beyond doubt, return empty
handed. 4
Sitting Bull has said from the begin
ming that If they did not meet him be-
fore the first snow fell he would remain
on British soil for the winter. He has
ammunition to keep his camp supplied
with the luxuries of the season, his
braves being wonderfully expert In
stalking the cabri, or prairie deer.
The mounted police are anxious to
get rid of their guests, but the general
belief is that, owing to the inexplicable
delay in the arrival Of the commits
sioners, the Sioux will remain all win
ter, and perhaps, like the Sioux who
fed from Minnesota in 1862, become
we'll regulated Kanuck savages."

President added: ''They expect also
to show their attachment to freedom,
OF which we have examples from
time to time" Laughter and ap-
plause.) He expressed great satisfac-
ton that both parties and races were
meeting here in harmony and peace.
In his trip he had found the same feel
ing Of pacificatiOn everywhere. He
continued, urging confidence in our
brotherhood. He said:
Gas demand respect for the man
I found fighting against me, yield the
same measure of respect to him who
fought for his convictions"
After other speeches reception was
held at the hotel until 2 O'Clock, when
the President visited the opera house
and had a brief talk with the children
OF the public schools there assembled.
