A SOCIAL SENSATION.

The residents on Seventh street be-
tween Orange and TaLnall, were excited
last evening, between and o'clock, by
the shrill cry of Murder Fire Police
and various other exclamations. The
cries were those of woman and proceeded
from Linden court, little street running
from Seventh street towards Sixth.
1t appears that woman named Carrie
Loomis, keeps a house of assignation
there which is not only frequented by
single men but by married ones.
For some time past lady whose name
could not be ascertained had her suspe-
cions aroused that her husband was in
the habit of visiting the house. Deter
mined to ascertain whether they were
correct or not, she followed him last
evening, and was rewarded by seeing
him enter the house. She Immediately
went up and knokced at the the door,
which was slightly opened, but when it
was discovered who was applying for
admission, the door was shut in her face
and locked. She then commenced
pounding on the door, and screamed at
the top of her voice.
Finding that she could not get in,
and that her husband would not come
out, she ceased hostilities for a while
but soon returned with her brother,
and then the war commenced again,
whichlssted for,some timewhen finally
she was prevailed upon to leave. The
unduiifnl husband notreturning to the
bosom Of his family the injured wife
commenced hostilities again early
this morning but finding that she
could no, get in, and that her hus
band showed no disposition To come
out, she went to the police office and
secured the services Of policeman.
After they arrived at the house, and
the door was opened in response TO the
knock Of the officer, she pushed past
him and entered the house, and at this
writing they are all in the house togeth-
er.
The residents are very much incensed
against the woman of the house, ana
there is little doubt but that she will be
compelled TO seek another home. In
conversation with one Of the neighbors
this morning they stated that the pro-
ceedings last night were disgraceful.

NELSON ]. LEE MAKES A CHARGE OF
IMMORTALITY AGAINST JOHN Ii.
MOORE.
Atthe temperance meeting held on Mon
day evening, in the "Old Foundry. " corn er
of Tenth and Orange streets, Nelson j. Lee
made an address, during which he made ac-
cusations against the moral character OF
John II. Moore President of the Moral Sua-
sion Reform Association. Mr Moore was
not present the meeting and was therefore
unable to defend himself, but was defended
by Messrs. butcher and Wells.
Last evening. Mr., Moore, together with
about one hundred and fifty members of
the Association, went To the tent, and dur
ing the meeting Mr.. Moore made a reply to
the ccusations of Mr.. Lee. He said that
the Association held temperance meetings
at their room, and not a meeting where
person could go and defame the character
of a citizen of this city. He did not make
any professions to christianity, but was
simply worker in the cause OF temper
ance, trying TO do what little he could 10
help a fallen man. He was elected Presi-
dent of the Association by the unanimous
vote of the mem bers. AS regarded Mr.. Ii
charge he did not think IL worth a reply, as
he was born and raised in this city and was
too well known TO be hurt by anything that
Mr.. Lee might take upon himself TO say.

marks, during which he was frequently APP
plauded, Mr.. Lee arose and made reply,
In which he reiterated the ch argos he made
the previous evening, and said that he did
not think Mr.. Moore was u fit man to be
president of any society or association.
He loved all the members of the Associa-
zion but the President, and the reason he
did not love him was on account of his i'm
morality. Mr.. Quinn replied to Mr.. Lee in
a very sarcastic manner and defended Mr..
Moore. James Hargis said that the Asso-
citation had perfect faith in Mr., Moore, not
withstanding what Mr.. Lee or any other
man might say TO the contrary. During
Mr.. Quinn's address he stated that there
was enough known about Mr.. Lee to damn
him forever in this comm unity.

SITTING BULL.

and disabled by disease" indeed He is 80
or 40 years old. according to information re-
ceived from Indians who have known him
from childhood. The only disability that
lie suffers results from the loss of the toes OF
his right foot, which were all shot
away in a fight with the Crows. This
interferes with his getting around
lately. but does not i'm the least disable him

which General Custer and his men were
killed. If you remember anything OF the
bloody reasSacres of whites III Minnesota in

familiar 10 You. He was the most ferOciOus.
the most cruel and the most energetic OF all
the SAntee Sioux engaged in those bloody
scenes OF 1862 on the beautiful green praries
OF Minnesota. The name of Inkpadutah
brings a shudder TO many a man and woman
in Minnesota to this day. His crimes out
lived him. He could not live with the
whites at the agencies, and he fed westward,
or rather west of the Missouri river. and
found liberty away in company with Sitting
Bull and other Indians who refused to
hold relations with the government.
He now passes much Of his time in the
British possessions, aud may possibly make
stealthy visits into the agencies at Fort Toll
ten and Fort SissetOn. Is is a fact that
General Cuser was killed by two sons of
Inkpadutah (Red-Top) Thev first struck
him with their cOup-sticks. They took the
valuables from his 10 iy, and secured his
horse and pistols. The blood of Inkpadu-
tab will be at war against the Americans as
long as a drop of it runs in the veins of an
Indian.
1t was the violation OF the prom ises of an
Indian agent to pay their just dues, that
brought on the cruel massacre Of women
and children, and the captivity of women,
in 1862. The dishonesty of Indian agents
in 1874. 1875. and 1876 had much to do with
the immense congregation of dissatisfied
Indians who destroyed Clusters command
in 1876.
