they were the property ana the homes or
Indians. The farms are enclosed with spit

was nearly all broken, the seeding seaeon
being well nigh through, but busy Indians
could be seen making fence, hauling logs,
wood and doing other work, just as is done
in other parts OF the country. The soil Is
deep, free OF stone, and very productive.
The Indian farmers raise wheat, oats and
vegetables; grow their own pork and beef,
and raise horses. Many OF them W sever

of wheat, 5000 bushels of oats, and l,5Oo
bushels of potatoes. The reservation is
provided with threshing machine, which

ced calling; but upon looking into the
front room she was somewhat startled at
beholdlng a man crouching behind

have been the case with most ladies, but
she sprang forward and caught bold of

AN ARKANSAS SCARE.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 20-About
week ago, Fayetteville, John Reed, a
Union man during the civil war, and
a desperate character, was killed in the
country jail. 4 friend of his, for infrac-
ton OF the law, had been arrested for
several hours. Reed followed the officer
in charge of the man about, and finally
overlook him at the jail about dark. As
he was committing the prisoner to the
iailor, Reed, although able to bail his
friend, refused to do 50. He entered
the Jail with the officer and prisoner, and
just as the door was about to be locked
on the latter, Reed struck the Tailor
with q heavy Junk bottle, knocking him
senseless. Reed was armed. The jailor
in falling extiDguished the candle, and
the guards, knowing Reeds character,
fred upon him in the dark, one shot
penetrating his heart. The coroner's
jury was unable to determine whose shot
killed him, the guards themselves being
unable to tell. The jury found verdict
Of justifable homicide. Reeds friends,
fifteen OF sixteen miles distant, began to
organize for the aVowed purpose Cf seia
ing Deputy Sheriff Serrell, whom they
supposed fred the fatal shot, and who
was under bond to appear at the next
term Of the circuit court. The citizens
OF Fayetteville became much alarmed at
the threats and received permission OF
the governor to organize company of
state guards, which, III the emergency,
was supplied with rifles from the state
university at Fayetteville, the state iur-
Eishing ai.iHuuItIou. Reeds friends
meantime had approached the town, but
finding the militia in arms abandoned
their purpose, left their guns outside,

OVER THE GEEESEE FAILS.

1t was rumored on the streets vester-
day afternoon that some one flad gohe
over the lower falls IN q boat, but the re-
port seemed to lack authenticity and very
little credence was given il. An investi-
CATION by our reporter, however, reveal
ell the fact that the story was not without
foundation, and as nearly as could be
gathered from the many conflicting sto-
rles. the facts in the case are as follows:
About two o'clock In the afternoon
German boy about seventeen years OF
age was fishing in boat above the lower
falls, while companion was engaged in
the same occupation upon the shore.
Wishing to change his position, the boy
In the boat pulled further out in the
river, when his boat was caught bv the
current and hurried down the stream.
He immediately seized the oars and com
menced pulling for the shore, when one
OF the treacherous blades broke in his
hand and he fell backwards to the bot
tom OF the boat. Quickly recovering
himself, he tried to paddle the boat with
the remaining oar, bnt with this he made
little progress, and every moment he was
drawing Eear the fatal precipice. His
slstance, and at last, seeing that he never
could get the boat ashore he jumped in
to the water, and bravely struck out for
shore. He made gallant struggle at it,
but ne had waited until it was too late.
The force of the current was irresistible,
ana when within ten feet of land he was
carried to the brink, where he paused
for moment, and then disappeared down
the awful depths.
This is the story as it was told, brt
Coroner Danninburg, who was notified,
was unable to find anything of boy or
boat, although he met a number of peo
pie who said they were eye witnesses of
the scene. Tbcse acquainted with the
water around the falls say that the press
are from the fall is so great that it will
hold body under until the force has
somewhat abated. This may be, and
may be that the body has already been
carried to the lake. The namo of the
unfortunate young man is said to be
Gossner, but further particulars in regard
to his identity VIII probably be revealed
to-day, When his absence from home is
noticed, and inquiries made by parents
or employers. rs.-R0chcste Dem.

i WORD To DOUBTERS.

There is a good old English maxim
that teaches us to "believe every man
honest until we know him to be q vii
lain. American custom seems to have
reversed this law and appears to make
every man a villain until he has proved
himself an honest man. As with people,
so with things. Every article placed in
our markets can lay claim to popular
favor upon intrinsic merit and value
alone. Continued popularity, therefore,
IS proof positive of intrinsic excellence.

4 VILLIANOUS PIECE OF BUS

A queer old miser has been unearthed
Mt Nav York in the form of Jonathan
Tremain Wells. He set mp business in
an old loft in Maiden Lane 40 years ago
and has finally scrnpad together $500, 900
or so, No one cared about the old chap,
and even the thieves seem to have over
looked him, for he kept his bonds and
money in the most rickety safes, which
the veriest amateur might have cracked.
He had no relative nearer than cousins,
but they have finally scented him and
his treasure out, and are trying to prove
him lunatic, SO that they can get hold
of his property in time. Mr.. Wells says
that he made his money and, ought to
have the spending of it now. His cous-
ins, however, have got receiver in pos

SHARP WOMAN.

New YORK. March 21.-Brooklyn has
Z very smart woman, in the person of
Mrs. L. w Peek, who was arrested yes
terday for the second time in twelve
months for large confidence operations.
Some time ago she swindled g. T. Babb-
1T out of $40, 600 by playing the role OF
female detective. She convinced him
that she had clues which would lead to
the recovery of the 100000 stolen by
his confidential clerk, and that she need
ded this amount of money to prosecute a
successful search. She fooled him for
six months, and was then arrested, and
is yet TO be tried for her crime. She
vas taken into custody yesterday for con-
tidencing L. LANCER, sharp diamond
dealer, OF this city, out of $4,000 worth
of precious stones. Some months ago
she went to him, representing to him
that ID her wide and wealthy circle of
acquaintauces she could ssll a large
amount OF jewelry and diamonds. She
wanted the privilege of taking goods to
sell on commission, such articles as were
not sold to be returned. She represent
ed that she owned the handsome resi-.
deIee at No. S0T, Putnam avenue, be-
sides real estate in Manchester, Mass
and Deep River, Conn, worth altogether
nearly $3.50, 900. Her representations
and her appearance were plausible, and
tle broker intrusted her with a small
amount of goods. For while she acted
honestly, selling some Jewelry and re-
turning the money. She at length found
her way SO completely into the brokers'
confidence that he allowed her to have
at one time $4,000 worth of diamonds,
including fine solitaire wor' $4,000.
She pawned the entire set, anu has elud-
ed Langer's efforts to find her until to
day. For two months the search has been
vigorouly pursued, and oil this time Mrs
Peck has been feigning insanity, and,
under another name. has been an inmate
of the Morristown, n. s., insane asylum
She suddenly recovered and ventured to
come home this week.

ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.

CINCISNATI, o., March GA letter
to the public from Archbishop Purcell is
published this morning. After reciting
the struggles Of his early life, his removal
to this diocese, the necessity Of going
into debt to provide for the wants of the
diocese, etc, he dwells on his present
financial troubles. He states that il can
be safely said that not more thar $500. =
QUO was money deposited. The rest is
the rasu!t Of compound interest. AS proof
he cites an instance that occurred yester-
day, where creditor called with q claim
Of 81, 100. In presenting it 10 admitted
that $500 OF il was interest, and express
ed hia Willingness to accept $500, the
amount of the original deposit. The
ARCHBISHOP claims that hundreds are of
the same nature. The Indebtedness of
the GioCe5e III equity does not amount to
more than 81, GOO, 900, to place it at the
highest figure. He says furthe. that for
twenty years no general collection has
been taken up for the support of the
diocesan seminary, the entire burden of
educating priests falling upon the arch
bishop. He paid the salaries of she
professors. ss,a fed, clothed and educated
iiie seninarl3n5. He also paid the ex
penses during the same period for &C.
clesiastical students a. Mount St. Marv's.
Emmetsbgrg, III France, and al Rome.
In twenty years these expenses, which
III justice the whole diocese should have
borne, amounted to vast sum. While
III Europe he bought 8 library of sixteen
thousand volumes, with philosophical ap
paratus, etc, which required a large ex
penditure, which, with the sura spent in
building the orphan asylum, cathedral,
and other buildings, finally swamped
him,
The archbishop then rehearses the
situation declaring that but for the gen
erous sympathy Of Catholics and Protest
ants alike he would have sunk under the
weight OF his troubles. He then appeals
to ali Catholics and others who feel for
others woes to help him ont of his en-
barrasment.
