A Berlin dispatch, referring to the cleo.
tions in Germany, says that results of about
one hundred elections are known, and are
as follows: Forty National Liberal, four
teen Clericals, nine Conservatives, eleven
Progressists, three of the various Separatists
and Particularist parties, and one Socialist.
In the remaining twenty-three districts, Sec
ond ballots will be necessary. The Socialists
have been defeated in four constituencies
where they were formerly successful, but are
concerned in many of the second ballotings,
including those in Dresden and Solengin.
Complete returns from the kingdom of
Wurtemberg elect seven Free Conserva-
tives, three Imperialists, two National Lib

The Free Conservatives and Imperialists
elected may be considered supporters OF
Prince Bismarck. The National Liberals
have carried the Duchy of Brunswick. Re
turns from thirty-eight South German dis
tricts show the election of nineteen Ma,

Ultramontanes, and one Separatist. Second
ballots will be held in nine districts.

A party of masked men, variously esti-
mated at from forty to five hundred, rode
into Monroe, La, at n o'clock in the
morning, recently, and forcibly took from
the Parish Jail four colored men who were
confined there, charged with murder, took
them into the Courthouse square, and
hung them to the limb of an oak tree.
Three of the victims were implicated in the
killing of W. C. Fitzgerald last May, a
white Constable, at Trenton, who had at
tempted to arrest them, as is alleged for
disorderly conduct on the streets. They
had been tried, one of them sentenced to
the penitentiary for life, and the other two
remanded for a new trial. The fourth VIC
tim was charged with w~aylaying and muir
| dering another negro in cold blood, and
had been sentenced by the District Court
to the penitentiary, but obtained a new
trial. The verdict of the Coroner's jury
was that " said parties came to their death
by hanging, and that the same was done by
parties unknown" The names of the men
hanged are Pleas Phillips, Henry Atkins.

Tough Stories Of Gambling in nevada.


Private Letter from Virginia City in the st. Louis
Republican,
This is a terrible place for gambling.
Faro is the favorite game, but for those
who like it there is poker Unlimited
keno, s~ixty-six and euchre. One man
had a marvellous slice Of luck. He
started in to play faro; he played thirty
two hours without stopping or sleeping,
and eating hasty bite as he played.
Lost 81 900 in that time, was nearly
broke-being left with but 500 or SO,
which he staked-he was so exhausted
that he fell asleep; and yet SO excited
was the brain that he continued autom-
a~tically to play, knowing nothing. By
Well, he actually won back sll he had
lost and about $3.50 besides. He
would probably continued on playing,
but he burst the bank. 1t was only
then that the spectators discovered he
had been sleeping. Eye witnesses state
that when he was awakened, he was the
most astonished mar they ever saw
though he managed to walk off quite
comfortably with $2S, 000.
One more little episode and I am done,
Ash walked along the streets l noticed
large numbers Of men with wounded
ears-some in one stage, others healing
some carefully plastered, others again
with only a little bit of ear, some with
actually not a vestige left. 1t appears
that whatis called ear-chewing isa com
mon occurrence. One miner gets t.
playing cards with another; as the gam
bling goes on the excitement increases;
little dispute arises, and, presto, befor'
any one can interfere one springs OF
another and goes for his ear. If he be
powerful man, with good teeth AM
strong muscles, he sometimes bites tn
ear right of, and unconcernedly spit
it on the floor. Frequently, though
he contents himself with simply chew
ing at it until the ear is pulpy, or unit
some bystanders just pull him off. 1
more serious rows the bowie-knife an
revolver still reign supreme. The bowie

A D0thegirls Hall Discovered in Eng

London was recently startled by reve-
lations concerning a young ladies' school
heal that city which almost rivaled
Dickens's description of Dotheboys
Hall. Last December, says a newspaper
correspondent, there appeared in the
press of London an attractive prospec-.
tus of a Ladies' College" near Sun

fully situated, with extensive grounds,
six resident governesses, an efficient
staff of masters, bountiful table and
numerous other advantages, and the
pupils were to be housed, fed and edu-
Gated for thirty to forty guineas per
year. The bait took and the school soon
filled, opening in February. On arrival,
the girls were rather staggered at the
barren aspect of things both within and
without the mansion; but excuses of the
tenancy being new, and the place there
fore yet a little unfinished, were prof
fered and unsuspectlngly accepted. The
term fees had all been paid in advance;
nevertheless.the " lady principal" very
speedily began to borrow from her
pupils sums of money, large or small,
whichever she could get. That looked
queer, but what looked queerer wa the
fact that when meal time came the

by its all but total absence. Sometimes
dinner was at two, sometimes four, five,

never anything better than bone scrap

meals were equally delusive. The six
resident governesses" and the deficient
staff of masters" were represented by
one diminutive maid of all work, whose
duties were in the kitchen, and the
pupils got no instruction except by theil
own study. Meanwhile they were starv

experience, one victim swooning foul

The West.

The United States Indian Agent at Lemki
writes the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
announcing the murder of two or more
Indians belonging to the Lemki tribe by
Bannock John, an cid Indian well-known
in that section as a desperate. 1t appears
Bannock John murdered a white man a
few weeks ago on Camas Prairie, and the
Indians feared retaliation on the part of
the whites. The news reached one of the
Indian camps that ten of their number
were murdered by whites in Round Valley
while hunting. After hearing of this
slaughter, blame was laid on Bannock John,
and a few of the Indians formed a con-
spiracy for his assassination, which was
successfully carried out.
From reliable information which the Sec
rotary of the State Department has received
from Northwestern territories it would ap-
pear that the reports contained in the
United States newspapers to the effect that
the Sioux Indians at present in Canadian
territory contemplate crossing the boundary
with hostile intentions are entirely without
foundation. So late as July II, Sitting Bull
was camped with eight hundred lodges,
ninety miles east of Fl. Walsh, and the
other chiefs, with camps of from one hun.
dred to two hundred and fifty lodges each.
were peacefully following the buffalo range
An alarm was caused among the Indians
short time ago, by reports circulated by
evil disposed persons, to the effect that
United States troops were crossing the
border to attack them, and many of then
commenced moving.
Friendly relations exist between thu
Sioux and Canadian Indians. Big Bear
Chief of the Canada non-treaty Cree In
dams, says of the report that there was
massacre of white people in the neighbor
hood of Battle Ford, and explains that tn,
only grounds which exists for sucl
rumors were that his several camps
numbering in all three hundred
lodges, moved together to follow
buffalo, and he wishing to be on friendl.
terms with the Sioux had endeavored t
make a change for them to hold their an
nual medicine lodge together. On ~learnin
that his moves were doubted, he decided no
to allow the whole of his camp to join tn
medicine lodges, but would himself wit
one head man, represent his band at tn
Sioux gathering.
D~epredations which were constantly n
ported in United States newspapers as OF
curing along the frontier, were committe
by United States Indians, who cross and r.
cross the line after buffalo.
