examined into. Philippians liabilities
to the banque amounted to three or
four million francs but the banque held
an enormous quantity of credit mobil-
ier shares, and it reckoned its shares in
the purchase of the Grand Hotel
scribe as an asset of three or four mil
lions of francs. The position of the
banque was therefore good, on con-

Moro AbOut Sewerage.

EDITOR LEDGER-It is claimed
that defective system of sewerage is
worse than none. A number Of the
citizens Of Memphis assert that a
perfect system cannot be instituted
without extraneous assistance, and in
caeting about for attainable sanitary
measures, they think the city author
tiles should perfect the surface drain
age, purify the cellars and substitute
the vaults with earth closets. These
impressions are gathered upon the
streets. With regard to the earth
closet system, tho objection is urged
that it would require an enormous
amount of earth and would entail
considerable expense in handling, If
earth was merely an absorbant this
objection would hold, brt from fre-
quent analysis it has been ascertaiDed
that dry earth can be used for years
without perceptible increase in
weight The conditions are that time
must be given between the successive
usings for oxidation. If kept in a
perfectly dry place fermentation is
avoided and slow combustion takes
place, consuming not only the solid
matter of the f.eces and urine, but
also the paper. HAY SEEDER,

Fatal Combat.

ST.. LOUIS, November T. News
came up from Carondelet, six miles
below here, at a very late hour last
night, that a very savage and terrific
fight occurred sometime yesterday
between II. Freund and Pat Gallagher
two workmen in the Mississippi blast
furnace, in which H. Freund was split
open with shovel, resulting in death
about Z clock last evening. Gallagher
was also badly injured, but is now in
Jail. 1t appears there had been bad
blood between these men for
several months, and it eliminated
yesterday in desperate combat be-
tween them, with shovels used in the
furnace. The police were not apprised
of the affair for several hours after it
occurred, and then for some unex-
planned reason did not telegraph it TO
headquarters.

THE INDIANS.

DENVER CITY, Dec. 10.-A Los
Pinos dispatch, dated Dec. -, says:
to-day's developments prove that
the casting his knife upon the floor
by Colorow expressed his vote for
war, but the fact of the other In
dians retaining their knives over
powered his vote. It was noticed
that as soon as it was perceived that
no other Indians wished to follow
the example of Colorow two Utes
arose from their seats in the Coun-
Gil room and went out, giving away,
talking to the Indians outside, who
Immediately mounted their horses
and rode away. They had evidently
been waiting for signal which
would call them to arms, and at no
time were any of them distant a
hundred feet from the Council room.
Every Ute at the Agency cars
ried with him more arms than
any two any soldiers of the regular
army. Yesterday brought out also
the fact that Ouray's respect for
the President is due to his thinking
that the Great Father is elected
by and rules over the whole world.
In one of his speeches he made that
assertion, and Mr.. Dorousend, the
interpreter, not exactly understand
ing what he meant by it repeated
the question, his answer showing
the fact plainly that he considered
Washington the center of the uni
verse and President Hayes ruler of
all the nation. He has not been
undeceived, and will not be by this
commission as it is now plain that
his friendship for the whites is as
sumed for policy, and he thinks if it
were necessary the arms of the whole
world could be called to crush his
tribe.
