To THE EDITOR HERALD
Seeing i'll the HERALD complaint signed "F, ;"
saying that telegraph boys always take the IA
side Of the walk. would like to state in behalf
that Mr.. "F." should have enough to know
that telegraph boys must always be time and are
obliged to make their way through the crowded

that it was shod properly and to his satisfaction.
whereupon Mr.. Berghs man answered. "Ill let you

for his own satisfaction drove up to Mr.. Bergh's

THE STRIKERS.
Butchers and Bakers and Cabinet Makers.

The striking butcher boys held a meeting
to-day at No. 563 Vine street and resolved
not to go to work again until the butchers,
who gave an oral concession to their de-
mands, would give one in writing. The
bosses will be visited to ascertain what they
will do.
The journeymen bakers joined the strike
this morning and, after little parley, pro-
posed to hold mass meeting tomorrow

ing hours and also for an increase in prices.
The cabinet-makers held another meet.

organization preventing workmen taking

INNOCENT INDIANS.
Details of Their Playful Franks
on White River.


Special TO the Star.
DENVER, Col, Oct. pa special from a
Tribune correspondent, who, at White
River, gives additional details of the out
RACES recently committed there. The rife.
pits where Payne's defense was made give
evidence of severe fighting for five days and
nights, during which Payne lost only two
men.
After the arrival of Captain Dodge's col
ored company, forty of their horses were
killed, all being deliberately picked off by
one Indian sharpshooter The besieged men
speak in the highest terms of the bravery
and coolness of the colored troops.
The body of Major Thornburg, in order
to preserve it, was securely packed in earth
and thus conveyed by his comrades.
All along the route of the Utes burned
wagons containing agricultural imple-
ments, coffee, sugar and -four, were found,
together with the remains of any amount
of agency goods which had been destroyed.
At the Agency storehouse building the
Indians had emptied -four to the depth of
fully three feet.
Agent Meeker's body was fearfully mu-
tilated, and chain around his neck would
indicate that he had been dragged around
before or after death.
The dead body of man was found on
the road, who had a dispatch
from Meeker urging the troops to
come forward in haste, and a scout
ing party south of the agency found bot
tie in White River containing scrap of
brown paper, on which was written words
to the following import: Agency people
now being murdered" and signed Meeker.

FIRE ON VINE STREET.
Sinton Building Considerably Damaged
This Morning.

AT an early hour this morning the pri-
vate watchman of the Postoffice and Pixies
Opera House building became conscious
that there was a fire somewhere in the
neighborhood and Immediately began to
search it out.
After some time they discovered smoke
issuing from the upper windows in the rear
OF No. 122 Vine street, and turned in an
alarm from the box of the District Tele-
graph Company. The Threes were sum-
moned, but before they had fairly started
an alarm was sounded from Box 81.
When the firemen arrived they broke
two of the large panes of glass to gain an
entrance, and were soon master of the situ-
ation but as the last engine was leaving the
scene smoke was again seen and the fire
alarm again sounded. This time sure work
was made of it.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
small charcoal furnace, used for heating
purposes, i'll the rear part of the upper
story OF No. 122, where about fifteen girls
are employed by Hermann Loeb & Co.mak-
ing up clothing.
From this point the fire burnt down
through the rear end of the building to the
first floor, destroying the floors for about
twenty feet from the back of the building.
Several of the machines were destroyed,
several boxes of goods patterns
and the furniture OF the
office on the second floor; but probably the
greatest damage was done to the goods and
the walls of the building by the heat and
water.
The buildings are owned by Mr.. David
Snton. Hermann, Loeb & Co. occupy the
three upper stories of No. 122, and Smith,
Slaughter & Payne the lower floor.
No. 124, into which the fire burned but
is injured only to slight extent, is occupied
by Levy, Wilson & Co., and Newburgh,
Stern. Lamer Co.
Herman Loeb & Co. are insured for $6, 500
in foreign companies, but their loss is
much greater. Smith, Slaughter & Payne
are only damaged to a slight extent, and
are fully insured.
Levy Wilson & Co. are insured for $55, O00
and their loss will be about $4,000. TIE
buildings are insured for $4,000 in the

BLAIR ACQUITTED.

Specials to the Star.
NEWARK, N. j.. Oct. 22-11:35 A. NJ
The jury in the Blair case came in at this
hour, and found verdict of ''acquittal."
At 80 a. IN. Judge Depue raped his
mallet, and the audience was hushed to
silence. The prisoner came in and took
a seat beside his counsel. He looked very
pale and anxious. His wife sat beside him
A deep hush fell upon the court, and al
1882 the jury filed in, headed by Foreman
Doremus. A pin could have been heard to
drop, so deep was the silence. After the
usual formality, the foreman was asked il
they had agreed.
Foreman-"We have"
"What is your verdict~
mot guilty."
Loud applause followed, quickly checked
by the Judge. Blair gave a shrek and fell
on the lap of his counsel, Judge Ellsworth,
sobbing audiblv. His wife also burst into
tears So did Judge Ellsworth. The pris-
cner was then discharged.
. The acquittal of Joseph A. Blair for kill
ing John Armstrong, his coachman, gives
great satisfaction in this city. 1t must be
acknowledged that the better sentiment Of
the community justified Blair taking means
to defend his life. Great interest has been
taken in the case here.
