Trouble at the Exposition.

NJ. A. Fritsche. of Philadelphia, an ex-
hibitor of meerschaum goods in the Expo
sition, went before Mayor Jacob this morn
ing and complained of ill-treatment re-
ceiyed at the hands of Captain Cramsey,
Superintendent of the Exposition Police
and Buildings.
Mr.. Fritsche stated that he had received
orders to remove his goods from the build
ings and was at work obeying the orders as
fast as he possibly could; that Capt. Cram
sey, thinking him too slow. commenced
tearing down the large booth erected by
him, besides threatening to whip him.
The Mayor sent communication to
Captain Cramsey informing him that
charges of ungentlmanly conduct would be
preferred against him at once.
A STAR reporter called upon Mr.. Cram
sew at the Exposition buildings.
The Captain says that Mr. Fritsche made
no attempt whatever to hurry up the get
ting out of his goods, while everything else
in the main hall had been taken away. He
(the Captain) then hired the man that
erected the booth to take it down care
fully.
This afternoon Mr.. Fritsche swore out a
warrant before Squire Harmeyer against
Captain Cramsey, charging him with mali
cious destruction of property. Mr.. Cram
sey gave bond before the Squire for his ap-
pearance tomorrow.

National Associated Press to the Star.
MAYvILLE, N. Y, Oct. 16.-An astound-
ing report was circulated about 10 o'clock
this morning, which unfortunately inves-
tigation confirms. Courtney's boat-house
was entered last evening while Brown and
Larmon, whose duty it was to watch, were
at supper, and Courtney's two boats were
sawed in two by some miscreant unknown.
The racing shell was sawed about twelve
feet from the bow, and the other six feet
from the stern. The instrument used was
saw belonging to the boat-house, and it
was found in the water. The only boat to
be had is Frenchy Johnsons shell, and
it is probably wholly unfit for Courtney to
use.
The referees are now examining John
sons boat, but probably will not order the
race rowed. In this event the race is off,
as new shell can not be had under ten
days.
MAYvILLE, N: Y, Oct. 18-12:30 P. NJ
Intense excitement still prevails, and it is
almost certain that the race is off. The
decision of the referee as to using John.
sons boat is not made known, but it is
certain that it is too short for Courtney's
use
Recriminations among partisans of either
party are rife, but it is probable that the
ruin of Courtney's boats is the work oi
some dastardly wretches that neither party
would own. The report is current that the
work was done at the instigation of some
New York boat makers, whose bets were al
pay or play"
This event affords a fitting climax for an
occasion that has brought here one of the
most degraded mobs that ever disgraced {
sporting event. 1t is sad commentary or
the moral of athletics, which are brought
into prominence on the plea that they bene
| fit the human race.

DENVER, COL, Oct. 16.-Nothing has been
heard from the women and children who
we're spirited away from White River
Agency since October 10th. The informa-
ton received by Indian runners, who are
in communication with Chief Douglass in
the mountains, state that the women and
children are safe, though nothing is known
rs to their whereabouts or that of the In
dams who have deserted White River.
When the massacre of Assistant Meeker
and his men took place, the white women,
comprising Mrs. Meeker and her daughter
Josephine, and their attendants, were
auartered in different building. One OF
the marauding Indians started to enter
this building. He was shot dead upon the
threshold by one of the occupants, who is
believed to be Miss Josephine Meeker.
This check probably saved the women from
IN outrage too dreadful to contemplate.
DENVER Col, Oct. 16.-A special says
nothing was heard Of the Apache Indians
under Victoria, after the 9th ult., until
last Tuesday, when news came OF massa-
ere of the citizens near Hillsboro,
the scene of the former difficulties.
The dispatch states that Indians made their
appearance in the Messila Valley last Sat
urday and continued their numbering and
fighting. On Saturday and Sunday party
of thirty men were attacked by about one
hundred Indians and so far but one escape
is reported.
Nine men and two families, with the ex-
ception of two persons, were killed at Nc
Ever's ranch, fifteen miles from Hillsboro,
the women being outraged previous to
their killing and the bodies OF the men
burned. Loyd's ranch, near by, was
burned and several Mexicans killed.
1t is believed the Indians scattered be-
fore the advance Of the soldiers, and again
consolidated in their rear, committing the
depredations reported. 1t is stated that
Victoria is not personally in command, but
it is believed that he directed the move
ments of the murderers.
1t is thought the Indians have been rein
forced from Mexico. Some three hun
dred and fifty soldiers are in the field and
authority has been granted to enlist twenty
four Navajo scouts. Companies are form
ing at Lascences and Mexilla.
Tuesday a war meeting was held in thu
