GEN. SHERIDAN, in the face of much
opposition, insisted upon the removal
of captured redskins from the depart
ment of Dakota to Leavenworth,
where there is an abundance of army
supplies. The captives, consisting of
Joseph's band of Nez Perces and about
800 Cheyennes, were transferred, the
cost of removing them being 81, 900.
To have kept them over winter on the
Upper Missouri would have cost S137,-
600 for the transportation of supplies
alone. So much clear gain, and no
thanks to contractors, either.

Not Then, but Now.

Do not keep the alabastcr boxes of your
love and tenderness scaled up until your
friends are dead Fill their lives with
sweetness. Speak approving. cheering
words while their ears can hear them and
while their hearts can be thrilled by them.
The things You mean to say when they are
gone, say before they go. The flowers you
mean to send for their coffins, send to
brighten and sweeten their homes before
they leave them. l would rather have a
bare coffin without flower, and funeral
without IN oulogy, than o life without the
sweetness of love and sympathy.-Scrap

A correspondent of the Rural HOME,
speaking of the benefit which birds render
the farmer, says: On Thursday last, while
ut work near wheat-feld, my attention
was called to the fact that some of the
wheat had been picked from the heads in
certain parts of the field. As my neighbor
seemed to think that the mischief was done
by yellow birds, procured u gun and killed
one Of the supposed offenders. Although
interrupted while taking his breakfast, we
found in his stomach only three grains of
wheat. and by actnal count $50 weevils

Lucretia Borgia.

There is something feerfully fascinating
in the terrible name Of Borgia, but it is sell
dom that the horrible and yet enthralline
tale of the supreme poisoner is told with
greater power and subtle enhancement than
it was by the Breslau-Clifford company last
night. Mas Breslau, as Lucretia, was
throughout good, but st times-in those
scenes where her mother s love overcomes
all other consideration, and especially in the
supreme moment when death faces her in
its most grim aspect, at the hands of her
own son, she was superb.
The support, too, last night was excellent
and surprised every one in the house. Cliff
ford played to Lucretia most ably as Cen
AFRO. Mr.. Fair was all that could be de-
sired as Don Alphonso. Maffio was well
sustained by W. A. Murdoch, wh,le Miss
Georgia Wilson and frankie Norton looked
beautiful and acted we'll as Ascaneo and the
Princess. The audience was enthusiastic,
and by special request Lucretia Borgia will
be substituted for Medea this afternoon at
the matinee. This evening Miss Breslau
will appear as Lady Audley and as the
Rough Diamond.

MI

Detailed Explanation Of the Way the Ac-
cident Occurred.
Coroner Stein continued his INQUIRY into
the circumstances attending the death of John
Summers, yesterday. The jury and the coro-
ner went out to view the place where the ter
rible catastrophe happened, some of the jury
expressing themselves as unwilling to find a
verdict till they could see the spot and deter
mine for themselves whether there was a
chance for deceased to escape the engine that
came down on to him. AS there was consider
able talk on the street as to the culpability of
the railroad engineer, a GLOBE reporter was
detailed to go out and investigate. He found
at the spot the two tracks were nine feet seven
inches from rail to rail- five feet from tie to tie
and there was no earthly reason why person
seeing two engines coming, one on each track,
could not escape them. But the whole
event could be easily understood
when Mr.. James Aylward, brakeman on the
gravel train, told his story. He said he was
standing on one Of the flats at the end of the
gravel train when the engine backed down to
take them up to the gravel pits. At the time
deceased came along the main line from the
city, two other men were dozen PAGES be-
hind him; as deceased got up near the on
CINE it was moving up slowly and blowing
off steam. The bell was ringing. The air
was frosty and the steam hung to the
ground, and it was impossible for
any one to see ahead yard.
Aylward saw the lone engine coming; it
stopped at the signal board, and then moved
slowly down: Awkward shouted to the men,
for he thought they could not see her com
ing; finding they did not notice his calls he
ran along the flats and shouted; deceased
walked deliberately and unconsciously into
the engine, and was knocked down, ran over
and dragged fifty feet, the body being rolled
up in perfect mass of blood, flesh and
clothes; the sight was a most sickening one;
Awkward says it was impossible for deceased
to save himself, and it was only marvel
that the other men were not killed too.
While Aylward was talking an engine came
backing down the track in just the same
manner as he described, and he drew the
jury's attention to it and showed them how
the whole matter happened. The rails were
still stained with the blood of the unfortu-
nate man, and small particles Of his flesh
still lay scattered about.
After viewing the ground and hearing the
statement of Aylward, tie jury returned to
the city, and the inquiry was continued till
this morning in order that the testimony of
Baker, the driver of the engine which killed
Summers, can be taken.

he Said He was Robbed.

Yesterday afternoon a man by the name of
O'Neil came into the police station and
stated he bad been robbed of
800 at swede Annie's. Capt. Clark
volunteered to visit the place with the com
plainant and investigate. Together they re-
paired to the bagnio. There, the girls were
unanimous in declaring the man had come
IN very full. Next he went to bed about
noon, had gotten up after quito snooze
and departed without word of complaints
Nothing could be made out of the
house and the inmates, and, too,
the fellow was none too urgent about his
loss before the ladies. On coming out the
drunkard commenced to abuse the
captain, squared off at him and
said he travelled on his muscle.
He invited the captain to come on. He did
so. and took him by the collar, and urgently
invited Mr.. O'Neill to accompany him to the
city hall. Mr.. O'Neill accepted, and got
quarters, though confined, there for the
night.

important to owners of drive wells-Public
meeting: In consequence of the harsh pro-
ceedlnss and heavy costs attached to the suits
against parties owning drive wells in this coun-
ty, it Is proposed to call public meeting to be
held at Pennington on Wednesday, Nov Is, at
~ o'clock a. ~, to consider the situation and
resolve upon the best course for future pro-
ceedings. The time for settlement ia short.
and all interested are earnestly invited to be on
hand. Per order of committee of citizens.
Pennington, Nov. 8, 1878.
In accordance with the above announce.
ment large numbsr of the citizens
of the county assembled in Fetch
er's hall. Meeting called to order by T. C.
Davis. j. NJ. D. Craft was chosen chair
man, Mr.. Clemons secretary, and Mr.. Dit
man treasurer. The object of the meeting
was briefly stated by the chairman, viz: To
raise funds to contest the claim made by
Messrs. Lamprey d James, of st. Paul, for
royalty and costs on drive wells, which is
considered an imposition. They have
brought suit against number of the citi-
zens OF the county for exorbitant costs, with
out notification until after suit had been en-
tered. Mr.. Dittman, of the Farm
ington bank, after visiting st. Paul,
returned with statements from very able at
torneys, that it was their opinion that the
thing was void and could DO beaten if carried
to the United States supreme court. Hon.
Seagrave Smith was present and answered
numerous questions, stating that he had evil
dence that the so-called patent had been used
previous to 1861, and it was his opinion that
the United States supreme court would not
sustain them in it. A number of our citi-
zens testified to having seen drive wells put
down previous to 1858, and are prepared to
testify to that effect.
Our citizens manifest disposition to fight
1t to the bitter end, if we can raise sufficient
funds to carry it up to the United States SUI
preme court. Two thousand one hun dred
and fifty dollars has been subscribed here to-
day, and not more than half the county
heard from.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
GLOBE to publish the leading editorial in to-
days Pennington Press on the drive vel
outrage, and also the following:
Acsolued, That all citizens in other parts OF
the State who have been sued or who are ag
grieved by the exorbitant costs attached to The
collection of the drive well royalty, and who
feel disposed to assist ia contesting the claim
of Green, James & Co., are respectfully anc
urgently called upon to contribute to swell th,
supreme court of tho United Statcs-all con
tributions to be paid in previous to Nov. Goth

Government Economy.

Very poor policy. But when did the gov
eminent ever show wisdom when the ques-
ton of economy WIS involved? This refec-
ton was drawn out by seeing four huge
boxes packed and standing in the United
States custom house. They contained thu
post Office boxes recently removed from the
Office, and replaced by scroll worked plate
glass. Whatwas going to be done with them?
Shipped to Washington, instructions to that
effect having been received from the post
master general. Some growing town out
West will want these spare boxes before long,
and then they will be reshipped from Wash
ington. Each packing box and contents
weighed more than boxed piano; estimate
the cost of freight to Washington alone.
Plenty of storage room here for them; but
there'd be nothing to pay for them if kept
here, so off they must go.
