a part Of his person was in the fire.
where he would soon have been roast
cd to death. His driver; a dark gin
ger-cake colorcd negro, medium sized,
with wbiskers and mustache on his face,
did the dreadful crime. Pnpcrs found

that he was pcddling tobacco for A.

his headquarters apparently at Reds

name is Jno. w. Stultz, was on his
way back to Reidville, with an empty
wagon. A party Of men went in pur-
suit OF the negro, and followed him to
Nowbcrry G. H., where they lost
him. The police foreo and the sheriff
then took the matter in hand, and at
last accounts the ncgro was coursing
his way to BoulSnight's Ferry, from
which point ho and the tobpcconist
came. On yesterday mopnlpg a
valise Containing q pistoD that the
villain had taken was found broken
open, a short distance from where he
committed the terpible crime. A
black suit was taken out, which the
negro now wears, and his old Clothes
he left with the valiso. The last in

was yesterday morning. by two gen.

OUTRAGE BY A TRAMP.-On TuesJ
day afternoon, tramp, calling him
self Patrick ---, went to the
residence of Dr. Isaiah Simpson, and
requested to have something to eat.
The lady of the house kindly granted
his request, and gave him a dinner.
But the worthless fellow, far from
feeling any gratitude for the kindness
thus shown him, acted in q most dis
graceful manncr-brcalSinS some
pieces Of crockcry, and making of
with some articles of children's cloth
ing. lie was afterwards overtaken on
the road by DR.. Simpson lwho was
absent from home at the time Of the
outragc) and then taken IN hand by
Policeman Potect. Tic was somewhat
obstrcpcrous when first arrested,
threatening to draw his pistol, and had
to be soothcd with q wholesome blow
Oh the side of his foolish head. Pity js
that he had not suffered much rougher
treatment. Patrick was committed to
Jail on q warrant issued by Trial JUS
ticc Neil, to await trial in tho Court
of Sessions. When he was taken to
his cell, and the sheriff started to
search his person, Ae showed some
signs Of resistance, but being assured
that the searching would be DONE,
'"whether or no." he quietly submit
tcd.--In view Of such outrages as this,
it might be well for our Town Council
to enact al ordinance that would pro-
tcct our ladies and children from any
such trouble. Whencycr q tramp
comes to town, let him be put to work
on the streets, the Council paying him
moderately for what he docs. Should
he foolishly refuse to work, lot him ,be
put in the guard-house on bread-and-
water diet for q fow days. Hhis
would bring him to his senses.
Tramps are, generally speaking, va
grants Of the very worst character,
and they shouldbe treatedaccordingly.

A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, OF
the l6thI instant says special to the
Daily Star from Silver City, New Mex.
ico,s tho Indians have been commit
ting terrible depredations in, tho Rio
Grande valley and southwest Of Fort
Cummings for several days past. The
people Of the town Of Colorado have
been beseiged and fighting since Satur-
day. On Sunday q volunteer company
of thirty men, under Captain. John c.
Crouch. went from Messillu and Cru
ces to their aid. They met 100 Indians
near Colorado, eighteen miles from
Slocum's ranch, on the,side of the road.
After a severe fight the volunteers were
compelled to. fall back. They had Il
running fight into Slocum's ranch. The
killed in this. fight were W. T. Jones,
County Clerk of Donna Ana county and
four NJ, xicans. On the receipt Of the
news at Mcssilla two more compauies
Of so men were raised by Colonel Ry-
nersOn, composed Of the best men in
Nossilla valley. The companies were
to join Crouch to-day at Slocum's. Two
wagon trains were captured yesterday
near Slocum's. In ono of them eleven
men, one woman and child were
killed. In tho other all hands had es.
capped. Both Trains were scattered,
some Of the oxen killed and the others
left standing in their yokes. Corpses
lie all along the road. The number of
people known TO have been killed within
the past four or five days aggregates
about forty. An Indian trail leaving
tho stage road yesterday lends toward
Black Range aud the vicinity Of the
Hillsboro mining camp. Major Morrow
Of the Ninth Cavalry, with strong
scouting party, is thought to be in the
vicinity Of Colorado. This is the most
persistent fighting the Indians have
ever been known 90 d. in this SECTION.
They nre oil in large bands aud seem
determined to stay in the country and
fight and make general warfare.

The suddeu decline in Sierra Nevada
stock, in the face # the late rich strike
on the 23O0 level. is a problem which
seems to puzzle even the mining shnrps
and experts Of the Coustock. The re-.
ports Of all the parties who visited the
mine and examined the opening in the
new bonanza, nro to tho ciTcct ihat the
facts more than sustain the glowing ac-
counts OF the richness and apparent
extent Of tho discovery, given at first.
The Chronicle publishes the statement
OF th" Underground superintendent Of
the Con. Virginia, Hugh Lamb. who
Was one Of tho visiting parties. In re-
ply to the question as TO what ho
thought OF it, he said "he had run all
the drifts through the "big bonanza"
but although lunches Of ore equally
rich had ut times been found, no drift
hns ever been run through mass Of
ore so rich and extensive as this Sierra
Nevada bonanza has already proved to
be. Tho average Of the orc SO far, is at
least three times as rich as that of The
bonanza mines, and four or fvo times
as rich as the Bolchcr."
Reliable information from the Union
shaft il that there is about five feet of
ore in the bottom, Of low grade, but
crossed 10y stringcrs that assay i'll the
noigEborhood Of $500 per ton. The
general belief is that the shaft hns been
passing through luartaito horse, and
that tho orc vein lies to the eastward Of
the shaft.

Tnr Enterprise triumphantly remarks:

The Ehierpriss triumphantly remarks:
"The fragrant persecution inaugurated
against Senator Ingalls,, Of Kansas,
eveniuated in thorough investigation
OF the allegations made against him.
This has resulted in his full and perfect
exculpation from the charges made.
This Is as was expected by his friends
and should have been anticipated by
his enemies, who must feel deeply cha.
grined over their discvmfiture."
From what source the champion
apologist for Republican delinqueuts
obtains the above information, We are
at loss to conjecture. The associated
press; the natural ally OF all such men
as Ingalls,, certainly furnishes nothing
to justify a belief in that gsntleman's
innocence or honesty, but, in the con-
trary. is forced to admit that the testi.
mony against him is of very damsg
ing character. Several prominent par
ties testified to q positive knowledge of
bribery by Ingalls, in the securing Of
his election, which will, or ought to
have due weight in the future consider
alton of his case.

THE Virginia Coroniele contains the
following account Of a remarkable acci-
dent which occurred at tho Hale &
Norcross mine "Wednesday night: ..
"a cage with six men was coming up
the shaft at IL o'clock-the hour for
changing shifts. When about GOO feet
from the bottom, at a point where there
is al irregular place in the guide, the
cage suddenly lurched to one side,
throwing the men to the other. Patrick
Holland who was on the outside, was
crowded off. Instead of falling to tho
bottom and being dashed to pieces, he
was safely lodged on allplate. The
other men Oh the cage supposed he had
fallen into the sump. Of course. When
they reached the surface they got the
usual sacks and boxes and started back
to the sump to gather up the fragments
OF the body. As they approached the
place in the shaft where the man was
thrown of they heard o voice telling
them TO so slow. They did not know
what to make Of the strange discovery,
never supposing it possible for Holland
to be anywhere else than ut the bottom.
When they saw him safe on his narrow
perch they could hardly believe their
eyes.
Any one who has nscended n shaft
knows how rapidly the wall. plates fit
by when the lantern is held SO AS to
bring them into view. The cage from
which Holland Was thrown was coming
up at the usual rate Of speed. How
the man could have possibly been lodg-
ei on these pieces OF timber without
being jammed 10y the cage or knocked
od as 1t went passed him is n wonder.
The wall-piate il square piece of tim
Der, II by l6 inches so that there vas
very little standing room for Holland
while lie was waiting for the cage to
come down and rescue him. II the
shaft had been light enough that lao
could have looked down any considera-
bic distance of the six hundred feet be-
tween him and the bottom he would
scarcely have had the nerve to cling to
his narrow footing.

ACCORDING to San Francisco dis
patch there now appears to be little
doubt that Alsup, the absconding book.
keeper Of David Meeker, was assisted
to escape from the Valparaiso on the
entry OF that vessel into that port. 1t
has been matter of common talk
among the sailors Of the ship that the
fugitive was aided by one or more OF
their number before leaving the ship, SO
that his success in making the shore
did not depend on his efforts as swim
mer. One OF the crew, sailor known
as "Jim," who shipped day or two
ago on the South America, has repeat.
edly made statements to the effect that
Alsup was "All right" The efforts of

his fate after he left the Valparaiso
have thus far been wholly unsvail-
