the ncemency of the weather upon that day

THE INDIAN WAR.

Associated Press dispatches of Aug.
%, from Deadwood, state that the party
of twenty persons who left here about
two weeks ago for the Little Missouri
river returned today. They report that
last Tuesday afternoon the party dis
covered Indians close to them. They
selected high ground and dug rifle pits;
had been digging about twenty minutes
when a party of 500 Indians appeared
on the bluff opposite, about 400 yards
off, and commenced firing at them.
The fight lasted nearly four hours.
Thomas Carr, recorder of the Deadwood
mining district,
WAS SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD
and killed. Twenty-seven horses, be-
longing to the miners, were also killed.
After dark the Indians withdrew, and
the miners escaped, being obliged 20
walk 150 miles to reach this city.

scouts, authorized by General Sheridan;

of the 22d inst, having marched one
hundred and fifty miles Howard was
directed on the hostile trail, one days
march in the rear. l marched with him
one day,and left him fifteen miles south
of Henrys Lake, which place he IN
tended to reach the same day. The hos
tiles are badly demoralized. There are
not to exceed two hundred fighting men.
The
FREIGHTERS AND RANCHMEN
along the Montana road are in a very
demoralized condition. The freighters
on the road between Sand Hole and
Pleasant Valley at the time the hostiles
struck it, had left their wagons where
they happened to be. in most instances
loaded with valuable >treight, and had
taken their stock to places of safety. In
one instance | found two wagons, one
loaded with metallic cartridges and an
other with powder, but the hostiles had
not disturbed them. As soon as [ had
passed over the road the freighters COM
mencod moving again. 1t is believed
the hostiles had disturbed no freight ON
the road.

DAVID A. WELLS has contributed to
the September atlantic an exhaustive
article to prove that evidences of debt
are not property. The article seems to
have been brought out by suit, in
which Connecticut money loaner held
mortgages on property in Illinois and
was assessed on the mortgages in Con-
necticut. Arefusal to pay taxes brought
the suit. The argument of Wells, which
doubtless contains all that can be said
on that side is that the man was ille-
gally assessed. The theory of political
economists is that taxation must follow
the property; that the real property in
Illinois, although covered by the mort
gage, was assessed and paid its pro rata
of taxes, and that there is no other prop
erty represented the mortgages not
being property are not subject to taxa
ton. In theory no doubt Mr.. Wells is
correct, but in practice this is like many
other interstate and national questions.

Vanderbilt's Gift to his Employees.

The employees of the New York Cen
trail & Hudson river road will soon get
the benefit of the 100000 promised
them by William H. Vanderbilt. The
amount was to be divided ratably accor-
ding to their position on the payroll
among all employees, excepting execu-
tive and departmental officers, and such
as were not directly engaged in operat-
ing the road. The apportionment of
this sum was placed in the hands of
Isaac P Chambers, the grand auditor.
He has completed it, and says that, out
of the 11,000 men, S,904 will participate
in the gift The division, as made by
him, gives the passenger conductors
$50; train baggage-men, so; brakemen,
50; freight-conductors, S15; engi-
neers,, $50; firemen, s15; fagmen, IS;
switchmen, SO; laborers ard watchmen,

foremen, s11; all others, 50. This is

the suit The defense made, it is said,
shows unmistakably that there was a
perfect understanding between plain
tiffs and defendants, and the Court was
compelled to decide the case as pre-
sented before it, This case was prosecu-
ted with such perfect secrecy that not
another miller in the United States
knew of It's existence until it was termi-
mated. Now it is upon this case as thus
presented that this. Washington ring
ask all the millers of the country to pay
them a royalty on every barrel of flour
made in the country. If they have the
right to collect anything they can as
well collect fifty cents barrel or $25,-
100000 year as a less sum. Having
obtained their Supreme Court decision
they next applied for an injunction
against the great Washburn mill at
Minneapolis, and pending hearing of
the case the proprietors were compelled
to give bond in the sum of $250,000
before they could continue to use and
occucpy their property. As soon as
this action was had threatening circu-
lars were sent to all the Inillers of the
country, telling them that the pro-
prietors of the Washburn mill could not
get decision for several years, and
all that time would have to work on in
uncertainty as to whom they are work
ing for, and that other millers must pay
up at once or be enjoined. We do not
hear ofany millers being frightened or
compromising, but they all feel uneasy
to think that it is in the power Of an I'M
scrupulous irresponsible and corrupt
Washington ring to subject them to
injunctions until their rights can be
legally determined. 1t seems to US
that there ought to be way to very sum-
marily dispose of this matter and relieve
public anxiety. 1t looks like a conspiracy
of stupendous proportions. Every man
woman and child in the United States
outside of the conspirators is interested
i'll having it speedily exposed. Let the
public demand that on the assembling
of Congress Committee shall be APP
pointed charged with the investigation
of the whole subject, and our word for
it, no one will be troubled after that.

AMERICAN GUNS.
American Winchester Rifles the Princi-
pal Element Of the Turkish Success at
Pleyna.
London Letter to Chicago Times

London Letter to Chicago Times.
When properly led disciplined and
armed There are no better fighting men
IN the world than are furnished by the
Turks. Russia is learning this fact, and
at most fearful cost. 1t may not be gener-
ally known, but it is the fact, that the
late successes of the Turks are owing
largely to the superiority of their arms,
a very large portion of which are Win
chester repeating rifles. OF course a
change in leaders has had much to do
with the changes which have lately tax
en- place in the position of the belliger-
ents, but this has been supplemented
very materially by the quality of the
Turkish rifles. 1t was to the use of these
deadly repeaters that the Russian
legions, although hurting themselves
again and again against the Turkish
works at Plevna, were swept back, brok-
en-, decimated, all their desperate hero
ism without avail 1t is believed that
the losses of the Russians in killed
amounted to ten thousand men-a total
which is horrible in its mOnstrOus dimen-
sions, and which can only be accounted
for by the fact that they charged in
double column against works, amply
manned by the defenders, each of whom
was able to fire sixteen bullets, while the
enemSwas crossing space of fifty
yardss No assault could live under
such circumstances. To order men to
assault works thus defended is simply
ordering them forward to be massacred.
In short, American guns were the prin-
cipal element in the Turkish snccess at
Plevna, and were the sole cause Of the
stupendous butchery suffered by the
assailants.

until some angelic meddler wrote to
President Eliot about it. He was off on

IDLENEss, as has been truly said, is
the mother of crime; and it is the true
road to poverty. We are all so consti-
tuted that our minds must be employed.
Persons brought up in idleness and lux
ury, often acquire bad habits which
they never throw off through life and
which aid in premature death. The
associations in life are various, and all
ought to be employed in some useful
calling, and to faithfully discharge that
calling
