UNFATHoMABLE UTEs.
Their Dodge 10 to Gain Time, 90 that
Winter will Prevent Military 0psr.
~ atlSns Against Them.

WASHINGTON, D. G., November o.
Prominent army officers in this city are
by no means sanguine OF the attainment
of success by the Ute commission in its
efforts to procure designation or surrender
by the White River Utes, Of the murderers
OF agent Meeker, and instigatora Of assault
on Thornburg's command. On the con.
trary the belief is generally expressed in
Army circles, that the Indians have been,
and are still, simply trying to gain time in
hope that military operations against
them will beprevented by Winter weather,
and that guilty members Of the tribe may
scatter before the spring season opens, so
as to elude either detection or punish
ment. General Sherman said yes
terday, that he hoped for the
best, but there was no telling what would
take place, and he had given orders, he
said, TO leave no means untried to make
our soldiers at present in camp In the Ute
country as comfortable as possible, and
had directed that shelter, clothing and the
best OF food that could be produced should
be furnished them. In the event Of the
Interior Department failing in It's present
efforts to obtain the possession OF the
murderers, the army would be on the spot
to make short work OF them in the spring
or soonerif necessary. He believed that
the winter will 80 reduce the condition OF
their ponies as to make it impossible for
them to escape.
RAwLINs, Wy, November 23,- Pay
master Stanton arrived from the White
River Agency to-day. He reports every
thing quiet, and no signs OF Indiana in the
neighborhood Of the agency. General
Merritt left White River Yesterday, fer this
place, with the third cavalry and company
D OF the fifth cavalry. Three companies OF
infantry and four companies OF cavalry,
under command uf Lieutenat- Colonel
Gilbert, remain at White River this winter.

DEATH OF cnAs. DICKENS WIDOW

LONDON, November 22.-Ths widow OF
Charles Dickens died at her residence,
Gloucester Crescent, Regents Park, this
morning, after an illness Of eighteen
months.
For some time before the death OF Mr..
Dickens she had separated from him, and
the peculiar relations which existed be-
tween herself, her younger sister and
Dickens gave rise to much scandal in the
literary circles OF London. For many
years past Mrs. Dickens has led very re-
tired lite, and has seldom appeared In 80.
ciety. One Of her principal grievances,
mate friends, was the fact that Ter son
Charles approved his fathers course
toward her, and had on more than one
occasion manifested feelings OF autipathy
toward her. Mrs. Dickens will be buried
in Kensal.green Cemetery.

PARIS, June 26.-There is an i'm

for the Prince Imperial at the church
of st. Augustine. The working classes
are only meagerly represented. Prince
Jerome Bonaparte and his son. Prince

diplomatic representatives. There
has been no disturbance.
New YORK, June 26.-A dispatch
from Paris says of the mass to-day for
the Prince Imperial Precisely at noon
the bells began to ring, and the SER
vices commenced. There was no cat
afalque. Black carpets were spread
in front of the high altar, and the
chairs of the imperial family and of
the dignitaries, senators and deputies
were covered with black cloth. Prince
jerome Napoleon and Princess
Clothilde, and their two sons and
Princess Mathilde were seated in front
of the altar As they entered the
church all present arose.
Mass which was a low one was cele-
brated by Able Laine, formerly almo-
ner of the Imperial chapel The papal
nuncio was present. The only persons
who appeared much affected were
Prince Victor and his brother. When
Prince Jerome Napoleon was leaving
the church there was but little atten-
tion shown him by the Bonapartists.
Even when he reached the street
there were signs of decided indiffer.
ence. A few hats were raised, which
was all the salutation he received.

4 FOURTH or JULY INvITATroN

There is war in the hearts of the South
ern people, and l. might as we'll be recog-
nized and spoken of as such. The North
is. sitting on smoking volcano, and it
cannot change the fact by putting its fin
gers in its ears and shutting out the rum
bling of the angry elements beneath the
crust. We might just as well call things
by their right es.-[lndianapolis Sen
tinel.
Now it is a sin to allow the author
of the above to live so unhappily. The
South is not thinking of this war feel
ing, and to convince him of our sim
cerity he and all connected with his
paper are respectfully invited to come
and join us in celebrating the glorious
Fourth of July. There is man here
who fought through the war as pri-
vate in the rebel army who offers to
pay the expenses of the editor Of the
Sentinel if he will come down on
the Fourth and see for him
self. We will vouch for the ability
and willingness of the old Confed to
carry out his offer and will give his
name on application. Memphis is as
loyal to the Union and the constitu-
ton as is the people of indianapolis,
editors included, and would furnish as
many men in proportion to population
to fight for the old flag in case of
foreign invasion. Now come down old
gentleman, put on your specs, see for
yourself the people of three Southern
States celebrating the glorious Fourth
in the good old fashioned way and
then try for conscience sake TO cease
misrepresenting us and deceiying your
readers.

wrote him a check for five dollars, and
he wouldn't even let the repentant
young man return thanks for it. No.
If he could do fellow-man a good

What was life worth living for but for
its chances to make others happy?

young man as he left the office fer the

went out he saw the lawyer across the

THE HULL INQUEST.
Interesting Testimony of Captain
Williams and Others.
A Rumor That DR.. Hull Had Con-
templated Some Serious
Crime.
One Witness Goes Into Mysteries. The
Verdict Of the Jury.

Captain Williams testified that some
of the bandages had evidently been
torn from the sheet on the bed Mrs.
Hull elbows were tied with the lady's
stocking supporter; all the bandages
matched some part Of the bed cloth
ing, or of Mrs. Hull's garments, with
the exception of the bandage over her
eyes, which was piece of old ironing
cloth which had been used by the girl
Nancy; there were no marks of vio-
lence on her body, except slight
scratch by the side of her nose, a little
blood under one eye, and a slight
abrasion on one hand the bandages
on Mrs Hulls legs were torn from a
cOunterpane; one pillow was a little
discolored, apparently by some liquid
which had oozed from Mrs. Hulrs
mouth; there was also a small spot of
blood upon it. The bandage which
had been torn from the ironing cloth
had originally been used by Nancy as
a bandage on her own wrist which she
had sprained Mrs Hull advised her
to replace it bya flannel bandage, and
when it was taken off it was left in
Mrs. Hull room.
Mr.. Townsend, council for DR..
Hull's family, asked Captain Williams
if it was true, as reported, that man
had told him (witness) DIR. Hull had
consulted with him before the murder
in regard to committing crime.
Captain Williams replied that man
had said Dr. Hull spoke to him, not
about numbering Mrs. Hull, but about
a job Of that kind; the man was not
present, and he did not know his
name,
Coroner Woltman said he had seen
the man in question and had heard his
story several times. He did not know
his name and had reason for not
asking.
Bella johnson related the story Of
Cox giving her the jewelry. As the
assistant district attorney began to
question witness as to the time when
Cox came to see her she began to cry
violently, then passed into ft of hys-
teFies. She fell back in eonvulsions
and was carried from the courtroom,

The room in which the inquest was

happens at most opportune time, as
the spinners of Fall River aud Lowell
have given a notice to the mill-owners
that unless their wages are raised by

The manufacturers have determined
not to yield, and thus it may be that
what is one mans misfortune is an
others luck. If these men do strike
the mill-owners will run the mills by
importing help from Canada and else
where, and maybe Tennessee will be
