A Chapter Of the Horrib bic.
A special of Oct. &c, from Fort Robin
son, Nebraska, says: A mail carrier brings
news from Camp Sheridan Of horrible car
nival Of hood in low den of iniquity near
that place, in which two men were killed,
two dangerously perhaps fatally, wounded,
and several others bruised. Last Saturday
there was large attendance OF cowboys and
soldiers at the place, and half dozen
low women, bad whisky and lively dancing,
soon caused bad blood. It began by drunk.

threatening to shoot the bartender for
swindlipg him. A dozen cowboys drew re-
volvers simultaneously, shot was fred,
and one of them, Ed. Collins. fell mortally
wonnde6, having shot himself while drawing.
The dance was resumed in twenty minutes
after his body had been removed Jim Joyce

into q rough and tumble fight over their pro-
prietorship in q girl known as Beaver Tooth

cavalry, attempting to disarm Page received
ashot which necessitated the amputation Of
his leg. He will probably die. The soldiers
at once retaliated by emptying their revolv.
ers into The Page crowd, as they rushed out on
the prairie. The women, scantily dressed
here returned from the rooms to which tn ey
had withdrawn, and ran screaming about the
place. The scene that followed battles de-
scription. The melee ended in rough and
tmuble fight between the cowboys and the
boys in blue, which would have resulted in a
terrible loss OF life but for the timely arrival
OF militia from the post. One Of the females
had an eye knocked out during the melee,
while two cowboys, names unknown, are bad

guard house and the soldiers threaten to

A German Count in Jail.

A Fort Wayne, Ind, telegram of Oct.
%. says: Among the prisoners in the county
Jail is no lessGa parsonage than Count Franz
Wilhelm Ferdinand Won Picker, genuine
German nobleman. The Count is at present
very much crushed. he is charged with hav-
ing stolen several saws from Charles F. War
ner, carpenter living at Hunterlown, in
this county, and is awaiting his trial, which
is set for next Wednesday. Won Picker
claims to have been in this country three
years. Arriving at New York, he formed a
partnership with sharp American. in the
business of contracting and building. He
claims that his partner beat him out Of $40, !
600, his entire patrimony. Tho Count then
drifted West and brought up in this county
working by the day as a carpenter. Picker
is q young man of about thirty, distinguished
in appearance, and speaks fuentiy German,
Italian, Spanish and French, but his mastery
OF the English is less complete. He claims to

where he learned his trade. Prior to this he
he was lieutenant in the landwehr. The

Great Fire at BROOKLYN.


Oct. 81, the Ancon1a watch and clock
works Of Brooklyn, New York, were burned.
The works have been in operation about four
teen months, and the building and machinery
originally cost over half million dollars.
Frem time to time additional machinery has
been added, and improvements made, until it
is said that the works were the most complete
in the country. Some OF the machinery, new
inventions, will be difficult to replace. Mr..
Davis. superintendent, says it is not likely the
factory will be erected on the same site, but
the company will putup another factory as
soon as it can settle up its business. The fac
tory was erected at Seventh avenue and
Twelfth street, to enhance the value of tract
ofland owned by the proprietors of the works,
and the neighborhood was building up rapid
". The origin of the fire is not known. The
Waterman says he was making round of the
building, and upon reaching the fourth floor
there was report resembling an explosion OF
gas. and Immediately the flames burst forth.
By this fire 1000 persons are thrown out of
employment. Halt of the employees were
young women and girls The company, it is
said, estimate their loss at million dollars,
but they are not insured for more than one
half that sum-

a Denver, Col, dispatch Of Oct. Goth,
says, DR.. W. W. Rowas, one Of the Witnesses
in the Berry affair, had arrived at that place.
He pronounces the statement that two com
panies of militia hac gone to the reservation
to aid the sheriff in making arrests untrue,
and said it would have been foolhardy, Is the
Indians were on the alert, and knew every
movement Of the State officials. He further
says they had orders to send a detail to escort
the messenger with the $75 600 Of Ute money
to the agency, but the order was recalled be-
fore he left. SO he thinks the money was re-
turned to Washington. Hesays Berry is en-

Dr. Tanners Fast.

The Scientific. American OF the 4th, which
came to hand last night, says ut must be
satisfaction to DR.. Tanner that his upright
ness and honesty in regard TO keeping strictly
TO the conditions of his self.imposed trial are
now generally granted, even by his former
most violent opponents, who acknowledge
freely that his behavior as gentleman has
positively proved him to be Gar above surrep-
litiously taking food while he was pretending
to fast. DR.. Tanner may not have proved
that everybody can fast forty days, but if he
has only proven that man can fast longer
thanha generally been supposed, that we are
all eating too much, and that for family
remedy, fasting affords better, safer and
more economical cure than the taking of all
sorts If patent medicine, to which SO many
people are SO much addicted, he has done a
really rood work.

The Tanner Question j..

The New Orleans Democrat has caused to
be interviewed some of the leading physi.
clans of that city, in the DR.. Tanner fast
case. Nearly all Of them concur in the opin-
ion that the doctor could not fairly stand the
test. Some of them think that forty day
fast is impossible. One of them thinks Tan
ner Is religious enthusiast and is insane.
Others contend that he is cheat and a
fraud, and is imposing on the community BY
taking food surreptitiously. Another asserts
that his experiment, even II successful, will
establish nothing in the interest of science.
These are the opinions of the allopaths, and
they say that DR.. Tanner beloRgs to an eclec-
tic school of physicians that are all the while
trying to get up something of a sensational
nature.-[Dsllas HERALD, July "a.
There is no doubt but that the experiment
and experience of Dr. Tanner has most mate.
rally unsettled the faith of thousands of
people as to the knowledge of the medical
fraternity. They first said man could not
starve for as many as nine days, and as Tan.
ner disproved this, they averred he could not
60 without eating for twenty days. And
then when he tasted forty days, they very
meanly urged that he had been deceiving the
people and had eaten Ia the interim. How
ridiculous now, says an exchange, seem their
high sounding phrases, ''positive waste Of
tissue" abnormal shrinkage of fatty and
muscular matter" ETC., etc. But again they
told us, he would collapse if he did not begin
eating very cautiously. And 10, he battles
them again by eating at will peaches and
watermelons and beef ste iks and apples and
drinking Hungarian and other wines, etc, etc.
If they were SO far sstray on all this surely 1t
is natural that the confidence OF people should
be shaken as to whether they know anything
worth knowing about the tissues" "muscu-
lar and fatty matter" ETC., ETC., in the inter-
est Of remedies and health. Certainly DR..
Tanners experiment must make them feel
like Cicero's sugurs, or fortune telers who
were said to laugh with one another when
they met because of their impositions on the
public as To their great knowledge Dallas

The Democratic National Convention
held at Chicago Aug. 20, 1864, "Resolved
that, after four gears of failure to restore
the Union by the experiment of acar, du.
ring which, under the pretense of mill
tary necessity of war power higher
than the Constitution, the Constitution
itself has been disregdrded in eoery part,
and public liberty and private right alike
trodden down; justice, humanity, liberty,
and the public ,oelfare demand that i'm
mediate efforts be made for a cessation o.
hostilities." etc, As Hancock had fought
his hardest battle at Gettysburg one
month and twenty three days before the
meeting of the Democrats in convention,
we arise to enquire how General Han
cock came to be such a failure in 1854
and such hero in 1880? Why should
man who had been conspicuous in
"four years of failure" where "the Con.
stitution itself had been disregarded in
every part" where public and private
rights alike had been tr0dden," etc., be
selected by the Democracy of 188Oas the
great chieftain to rule over US? The
case is peculiar and phenomenal.
