Gould After Eric.

New York, Oct. 2.-The Public to-
day says the. enormous and confident
buying of Erie common stock contin-
ues and is by some attributed very pos
itively to Vanderbilt.
The Commercial Advertiser asserts
with emphasis that it knows that the
reconstruction trustees were desirous
during the summer of placing the road
under Vanderbilt's control.
Large purchases have been also traced
directly to Gould. Not little of the
buying has been the work of panic
stricken ''bears'' who have tried for
months in vain to get other people to
panic and now find they have monop-
oily of the article.
Tie Post to-day says Erie buyers are
strong people and don't stand on frac-
tion.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
NUMBER OF PERSONS KILLED.
The Falling of Grand Stand at a
Michigan Fair-Sherman on
the Ute War.

Detroit, Oct. "A special to the
Post Tribune from Adrian, Michigan,
gives the particularsof an accident that
occurred at the county fair grounds in
that city this afternoon: About two
thousand people had assembled on
the newly erected grand stand to wit
ness the races, when the stand gave
way with crash. The front part fell
outward and the back fell into the
river, precipitating the mass of people
among the ruins. Work was at once
commenced to extricate the dead and
wounded, and the Opera house was
opened and many of the dead and
wounded, as fast as they could be ex-
tricated, were conveyed there The
following is a list of the killed: NJ. M.
Merck, Adrian; Mrs. John Hubbard,
Jasper, Mich, two boys named Hyde
and Mosher; David Pldmadore, aged
1s, Petersburg; William Mulzer, Adri-
an. Many of the injured were taken
away by their friends, so that the ac-
tual number OK injured can't be given,
but 1t is known that forty-four persons,
men, women and children, mostly resi-
dents of Adrian and towns in the i'm
mediate neighborhood, were more or
less seriously injured in every conceiv-
able manner. Everything possible Is
being done for the relief of those who
are wounded

ARREARS OF PENSION.

Large Number of Cases Settled.
Washington, Oct. 2.-The arrears of
pension claims, to the amount of $780,
734, ,507, have been settled up to October
1st. The average amount of arrears
In each case settled was $545. The
whole number of cases settled in Sep.
tember was 13,287. 1t is estimated
that are still about 6,000 or 1000 PEN
sioners entitled to arrears, whose cases
have not been settled. Settlements
hereafter cannot be made as rapidly as
heretofore because, of the great number
OF cases in which there are no titles to
the arrears, which must be examined
IN the search for those in which there
Is title. 1t is stated, for the informa-
tion of all pensioners who believe them
selves entitled to arrears, and who do
not receive notice of the settlement Of
their claims, either by allowance or re-
lection, by November 1st, that they can
hasten settlement by writing letter
70 the Office, giving again the number
OF their pension certificate and their
present postofiice address. 1t is almost
certain that If s25 ,0O0, 900 is appropriat-
ed It viii be sufficient to cover the ar
rears which are due upon the pensions
allowed previous to Januar- 25th, '79.

GERMAN AFFAIRS.
Appointment of Bismarck's son-German
Elections. Germany and Russia.

appointment of Bismarck's son-GermaI
Elections. Germany and Russia.
Berlin, Oct. 2.-Wilhelm, son Of
Prince Bismarck, becomes secretary te
Field Marshal Manteuffel, governor Of
Alsaace-Lorraine.
Gov. Manteuffel yesterday issued the
following address: To-day 1 assume
the office with which the emperor has
entrusted me of imperial governor OF
Alsaace- Lorraine. May God give me
strength to exercise the powers confer
red upon me to the glory of the German
empire and to the welfare of Alsaace-
Lorraine.
The election returns from country
districts come in slowly. So far as re-
ceived they indicate the success Of the
conservatives. Lasker and Richter,
two of Bismarck's chief opponents are
probably defeated.
The North German Gazette, replying
to an article in the st. Petersburg
Golos which declared Russia independ-
ent of any attempt to isolate Europe,
says: Prussia and her friends in Ger
many supported Russia in place of
Adrianople in the Polish wars of 81
and '63, and the Crimean war. If they
consider this support unimportant,
then their own attitude is responsible.
If Germany is compelled to look else
where for support-which she had
found in her relations with Russia,
Germapy's policy will remain a peace
full one and she will seek only peace
loving support.
If the Golos and its coadjutors
wish to repel the only strong and trust
worthy friend upon whom Russia could
count, it is quite probable that they
may attain that object by continuing
in the path upon which they have en-
tered.

rha. conklIng-sprague Affair.

New York, Oct. 1.-The SUMS
special from Providence has the fol-
lowing statement which has been made
to your correspondent and may be re-
garded as authority as coming from
Gov. Sprague. Saturday after Conkling
was driven to Canonchet, he came to
Providence and sought out gentlemen
here, who went to Sprague to intercede
with hin.that nothing Of the occurrence
at Narragansett pier should be made
public through the press. The messen-
ger returned the same day and told
Conkling that the Gov. sent back word
for word, the following message: "Gov.
Sprague will not leave the scandal of
Washington to be repeated in his own
household. Conkling was set back, but
went to work with view to set Chaffee,
trustee Of the Sprague estate, against
Sprague with the anticipation of hav-
ing him removed from his house, ar
rested and confined as mad man.
These facts are susceptible of proof.
Gov. Sprague authorizes publication

Broken rreaties. of cou1se

New York, Oct. 2.-The Washing
ton and other specials regarding the
Ute outbreak, show a long neglected
treaty Of stipulations, untitled govern
ment pledges, and continued encroach-
ments on the reservation, as the prima-
ry cause. The Indian officials, unable
to resist the pressure of western repre-
sentatives, have been endeavoring to
effect their removal to Indian territory
Hence the executive and legislative
b.anches of the government have
resorted to the usual means to force
upon them the surrender of their lands
Last winter delegation of Los Pinos
Utes came to Washington to ask
payment for the territory cut out of
their part of the reservation in south
western Colorado, and were impatient
at the delay. The commissioner ex-
planned to them that until the great
council made appropriations they could
not receive the sum proposed by the
peace commissioner sent out last year.
Congress was then in session, but the
recommendation for the payment of the
sum specified by the commissioners, WAS
not needed. To add to the aggravating
causes, number Of spectators and
prospectors who had been on the north
ern part of the reservation came to per-
suade congress to disregard the treaty
and obligations and declare the reserya-
tion open to settlement.
They brought with them fine speci-
mems of gold and silver ore and argued
that the sooner we had an Indian war
and the savages were exterminated the
better it would be for the country and
frontiersmen particularly.
Seeing that serious consequences
would follow an invasion of their do
main, Schurz asked congress for au-
thority to enter into negotiations for
the cession to the United States of all
the reservation of the Utes, that it
might be thrown open to settlers and
miners and this request was also disre-
garded.

the edge of the reservation, at Milk
creek, which runs into Painted Rock

Against Him-He is to be Offered
the British Mission.
New York, Oct. AIN speaking OF
Grants reply to the greeting of ex-con-
federates. the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
says: ''This is short and sensible
speech. Nothing could have been in
better taste. Grant is right; nothing
expands the mind more than going
abroad. We have no doubt that Grant
is more conservative man than ever
before. No particle of bitterness seems
to have an abiding place in his ma
ture.''
The Sun in a more than unusually
venomous leader, declares that Grant
is still secretly intent on the presidency,
and concludes: "He turned aside from
his intended journey to Australia in
obedience to call from the wire pull
lers, who told him that the time had
come for personal participation on his
part. Hence his return by the way of
California for the proposed ovations.
Dana, of the San, returned yesterday.
The Worlds Washington special
says that good natured rumor is afioat
that the ovations to Grant viii be cap
ped by an offer of the English mission
to him. Before offered, however,
Grant will be given to understand that
he must decline with thanks. 1t will be
offered, the authority that starts the
rumors says, as mark of honor to
Grant and the English nation.

A Tremendous Blast :.

At the Dardenelles mine, near Forest Hi'l, there was exploded. last Saturday, a blast of 36000 pounds of Judson powder. This IS the second biggest blast of this kind Of powder, as far as we are aware, ever fired in the State The biggest was st Smartsville some months ago, when S,OOO pounds were ignited at once. In that case, however, we understand, the result was comparative failure; while in the case of the blast at the Dardenelles last Saturday the result was remarkably successful, the amount of dirt loosened being not less than half million cubic yards, or fully equal to the largest amount ever shook up by one blast in California When we reflect that each pound loosened about fourteen cubic yards of gravel, the result seems little less than wonderful The powder drifts consisted of five, and the number of T's fourteen. The explo- sion was performed by electricity.-Au burn Herald.
