HIGHwAYMEN.
Advices from Cheyenne, W. T., stat e
that the north bound coach was stopped. on
the 14th inst, BY six armed men. Two pas
sengers were aboard-one q lady, who was
unmolested, and Mr.. Goldsworthy, from
whom they took SO in money. but returned
it on being informed that he was laboring
man. After robbing the mail sacks the coach
was allowed to proceed north. Meeting the
down coach, it was warned. When the down
coach reached the place Of the robbery it was
halted, and while the robber. were engaged
In going through the pockets Of the two pas-
sengers and the mail sacks, the two messeng-
ers, who were riding about 200 yards in the
rear Of the coach came up, dismounted and
crept within fifteen yards Of the robbers,
when they were commanded to halt and fired
upon. The fire was returned and one of the
robbers fell dead. The othe rs retreated to the
gulch, keeping up steady fire on the mes
sengers, who returned it, but dare not leave
their positions. The coach meantime had
driven on, and after waiting sometime and
seeing that they were not strong enough to
dislodge the robbers, the messengers mount
ed their horses and rejolned the coach, leav-
ing the mail lying in the road near the body
Of the dead robber. The messengers are con-
fident that two Of the robbers who got away
are badly wounded.
ST. PAUL LADIES AMONG THE INDIANS.
A Bismarck dispatch says: A brother
of Senator Dorsey returned home from Fort
Keogh by the Custer trail on the 18th inst =,
reports he reached Keogh about the 5th, and
that Gen. Miles and an excursion party were
surrounded by Bannocks in the yellowstone
park, and twenty seven of the escorts killed.
lot of Cheyenne Indians and two companies
Of mounted infantry were sent from Keogh to
his relief. Mrs. Miles, daughter of Gen.
Sanborn Of St Paul, and other ladies are in
Miles, party. Iu reference to that, Gen. San
born Of St Paul says his daughter, Miss
Hattie Sanborn, Miss Rachel Rice, daughter
IF Hon. Edmund Rice, and thirteen other Ia
dies are with Gen. Miles, but the general had
force enough with him to defend fifty ladies'.
He had no doubt that Gen. Miles had been
fighting; he went out for that purpose. He
had received letter from his daughter, which
stated thai they were at the Yellowstone on
the 9th ult., Fort Ellis 29th and Fort Clark on
the 29th. After leaving Fort Clark they fell
in with Indians I'd sent back to Fort Clark
for reinforcements. Gen. Sanborn had no
doubt that Miles force had been fighting for
several days, but he felt no anxiety, knowing
that Gen. Miles was strong enough to whip
any number Of Indians that could be brought
against him. He did not give much credence
to the telegram from Bismarck, hewevcr, for
If there was any truth in it the news would
have reached headquarters before this, and
there is no telegraph line from Yellowstone
park via Bismarck
ENGLISH GRAIN.
The Mark Lane Express in its view of
the British corn trade for the past week, says
the weather has been less showery than dur
ing the previous week, but has not been sat-
isfactory either for the thrcshing or securing
the crops, as it has been dull and damp with
temperature rather high. Dry, breezy days
arc. now urgently needed, as there is still some
wheat to be cared for, while large propor-
tion of barley is still standiug Cases OF
sprouting are frequent owing to the moist
atmosphere. Considerable disappointment is
felt, especially in Yorkshire, where auan,i-
ty of gram is lying exposed to the weather
Ia other districts harvest operations are much
protracted. Recent advices from Norfolk,
which is an important barley growing coun.
try, stated that fully half of the crop was still
iu the fields and it is feared that the grain
has already become too much discolored to
render it available for mailing. Such wheat
as was secnred before the rain set in, more
particularly the earliest gathered, is very fine,
Scotch and 1rish reports complain Of broken
weather, which prevented securing the crops
but roots and pastures presenta splendid ap
pearance. The supplies of new wheat have
been fair both at Mark Lane and the provin.
cial markets. Prices have favored sellers fo,
all dry lots, but as only a small proportion o
samples offered have been in anything like
fine condition, most Of the sales have been a,
irregular values. Sellers exhibited good
deal of tirmness aud business to some exten,
was checked thereby. Increased attention
has been paid to foreign wheat during the
past ten days. especially to fine old Russian
and American ports, upon which demand will
| doubtless be mainly directed so long as the
home product is marketed in an unsuccessful
condition, An advance of six pence to a shil
ling has been obtained ON these dc cript1ons
The cereal year has commenced with prices
of all produce at = healthy level, and although
no market rise can be anticipated in the i'm
mediate future, in view of the large ship
ments from America and the tendency which
her admittedly large crop has to reduce values
still it may not he too much to say that the
| enormous requirements Of this country may
be pretty confidently relied on to absorb sup
plies at range of prices little if anything
below these now ruling. In the London
| market another point to strengthen trade
lies in the fact that even should imports o.
wheat from American Atlantic ports increase
Russian supplies will necessarily cease as
soon as her ports arc closed by winter. The
business consequently rests upon legitimate
commercial basis, independent of fcticiou.
support either of political or speculative
character. In feeding stuffs rather more
business is passing. Grinding barley has
risen shilling per quarter from the recent
lowest point. Maize is also rather dearer
but with continued heavy imports both into
London and Liverpool, the upward movement
has made but slight progress.
