To Mr. i IL Maddox, Mem Orleans:

Dear misunderstanding the political
condition of matters here from association
with both political parties and friend of
the President and Government officer,
would it not be considered 4 part of your
- to 60 at once to Washington with as
little delay as possible, and place before
the President the condition and the pend
ing dangers OF the situation? Should you
conclude upon prompt action in the pre-
misses, allow me to commend you to Sena-
ator West, who is my friend, and with
whom you will freely communicate.
Yours very truly.

The DEFEAT OF CRAZY HoRsE-
The encounter between General Miles,
with an effective force of about 800
men, and Crazy Horse at the head Of
about 900 Indian warriors, is reported
to have occurred at point about 60
miles up the Tongue river, on the Sth
ultimo. The savages were well armed,
provided with ammunition, and appar-
emily full of courageous determination
Our forces are reported to have behaved
with great gallantry, and to have been
disposed with unusual skill The re-
suit was a rout of the savages. They
carried off their dead according to their
habit, but it is believed that their loss
was very great. Snow fell during the
action, and the nature of the ground
did not admit of the cooperation of the
cavalry. The fight is said to have
lasted about five hours. Our loss was
killed and 6 wounded

One of the greatest evils, from which

adopted so generally among patentees

corporations, or individuals, or a COM
bination of both, they are equally de-
structive of the prosperity of the labor
ing man. BY close combination these
monsters are to-day, and have been for
years, wringing from the consumer, in
many cases, threefold the value of the
article furnished, thus rolling in wealth
and luxury at the expense of the poor

After vast deal of fiutter and gossip
and fear and hope in political circles, the
famous letter of J. Madison Wells to
Senator West and ]. Ii. Maddox has been
made public. Both of them are free from
expression either dishonorable or criminal
and are of a much higher character and
more decent in tone than the one Charles
O'Connor wrote to his St. Louis friend, in
which he berated the President in language
seldom heard. except among local Demo
cratic politicians of New York City.

A STRIKING SITUATION.

Mildly Expresses it IN the B. & o. r. r.
Baltimore, July IA special TO the
Evening News from M%artinsburg, w.
Va, dated 1:30 p. m, says the rioters
still are firm and determined, and the
presence of the military only serves to
further e~xasperate them. The town Is
wild with excitement, and the strikers
and their friends, numbering at this
time fully one thousand men, are
marching about, bidding defiance to the
military and the authorities. Some 10
or 80 engines are c~ongregated here, and
none are allowed to depart. A COM
mittee from the striking fremen have
notified the engineers that in case any
engineer shall attempt to take a train
out of town he will be Immediately
shot. At noon a cattle train, bound
for Baltimore, attempted to start, where
upon the rioters flocked on board, and
with drawn revolvers placed at the
heads of the engineer and fireman COM
PEELED them to run the train into the
stock yards, where the cattle We're I'M
loaded. Passenger trains are not in
terfered with, as the strike is entirely
confined to transportationmen So far
the strikers have everything their own
way, and h military are passive and
awaiting further orders from the Gov
ernor, which, up to this time, have not
come.
Baltimore, July 1.-THE strikers
threw Il freight train from the Balti-
more q Ohio track this morning, dam
aging the. engine and some cars, and
injuring the engineer and fireman.
There is some excitement here over an
attack OF the strikers upon the military
at Martinsburg, and the shooting of
one of the strikers.
Baltimore, July 17.-It is probable
no freight trains will leave Baltimore
until the blockade at Martinsburg is
removed. The widest rumors are
afloat of a general strike. The latest
Martinsburg dispatches state that the
strikers absolutely control everything.
Passenger trains alone run regularly.

MISSOURI,
The Death Roll.

st. Joseph, July 17.-Col. M. d.
Morgan, a leading Democrat of this
city. died here Monday morning. He
has occupied many positions of respon-
sibility in this city, and was coal oil in
spector at st. Louis, under Gov. Wood
son. He was offered the Assistant
Adjutant Generalship by Gov. Brown,
but refused the honor. He came to
Missouri from Kentucky thirty years
ago, and resided in Howard and Ran
dolph counties for several years.
Mrs. Philip Kerlin, residing at Halls
station, just south of st. Joe, was
drowned in a well on Sunday. 1t is
supposed that she committed suicide
while insane. Her death is surround
ed by some mystery.
Last night j. Harnley, a farmer liv-
ing near st. Joseph, was thrown from
his wagon and killed. His neck was
broken by the fall.

MARE ISLAND.
The Ownership of Which is Mike

Inc ownership Oh WHICH ID NiAcu.
San Francisco, July lin the suit
of Bouldin to obtain possession of Mare
Island, the taking of testimony COM
menced before the court commissioner
to-day at Benicia. Both Bouldin and
the government derive a title through
Victor Castro. Governor Alvarado
granted the island to Castro in 1916.
He appears to have sold the land twice
once to Bryant in 1S4T, who decided
it to Cooper in the same year, and
Cooper to Bouldin in 1S49. Proof of
the sale to Bryant is defective, but
Bouldin expects to prove it by oral tes-
timony. The other sale by Castro was
to j. b. Frisbie and Beser Simmons in
1S49, who sold it to VIM. Aspinwall
and others, who in turn sold it to the
government. All these deeds are on
record, except that of Gov. Alvarado
to Castro. The latter, although he
admits making the deed to Bryant and
his deed to Frisbie is on record, claims
the island still to be his property, and
says he will soon commence proceed
ings to gain possession. Bouldin, who
is "a citizen of Missouri, explains his
failure to bring suit before by the state
ment that his father went back east in
1850, and did not know for many years
that the island had been occupied for a
navy yard; then came the war, and
after it there were certain political dis
abilities which fingered to prevent them
from taking any action in this matter.

Russians Over the Range.

London, July 1.-THE following is
the Russian official account of the
crossing of the Balkans
TIRNovA, July IL.
Gen. Gourka, with the advance guard
of cavalry, infantry and artillery,
crossed the Balkans July 14th. He
surprised and defeated a Turkish bat
talon which guarded the outlet of the
pass near the village of Khankhi.
Gourka is now marching upon Kasan-
lit, in the rear of the enemy, who occu-
py the fortified Shipka defile.
London, July ia correspondent
writes: "When 1 visited Tirnova, on
the 18th, Gen. Gourka's advance had
gone forward forty-eight hours previ-
ously. Col. Indolmin's Circassian
Cossacks were leading the column. So
bad are the tracks through the passes
of Elena Balkans that Gen. Gourka's
column of infantry, as well as the cav
airy, resigned their wagon transport
and conveyed the baggage and provi-
sions on pack horses. Gen. Gourka
had no fear of the Turks breaking up
the line of his communications, for he
had cut himself adrift.

Refining a Government Mint.


San Francisco, July T.-Before the
mint investigating committee to-day,
Geo. NJ. Pinney read charges to the eff
feet that between October, 1870, and
October, 1871, Supt. Lagrange caused
the selling of material belonging to the
mint, that he received the proceeds and
appropriated them to his own use, de-
frauding the government of various
sums, aggregating not less than $500
also that, during the same period
Lagrange did, with intent to defraud
the government, approve and cause to
be paid sundry accounts for material
which had never been delivered to the
mint, and appropriated money so
drawn from the treasurer to his own
use, defrauding the government on the
aggregate not less than $4,000. He
also submitted Il copy Of a memoran-
dunn book in the possession Of Lagrange,
concerning which there has been some
newspaper comment. He said that in
preparing the charges he had not at
tempted to give precise amounts, but
expected to adduce testimony showing
the amounts detained. by Lagrange to
be in excess of those named.
Frank NJ. Pixley, on behalf of gen.
tlemen formerly employed in the mint,
prepared charges against Lagrange as
follows: With insinuating to one of
the oihcers that he Lagrange) would

AFTER he had been informed by that of.
fcer it would not be half that amount.
and which finally resulted, l believe, in

The Fourth of July celebration at
Custer was a decided success this year.
1t is claimed by some of the knowing

Another quartz lead has been discov-

Omaha. 1t is about three feet in
thickness and of a light brown color.
Quite a stampede to the Castle creek

A number of moving machines have
arrived during the past week, and hay
