Helen Ward continues the subject OF
universal comment. The daughter,

day on the body Of Mrs Ward. which
developed the fact that two shots vera
fred, one of them puncturing but not
entering the skull ct the forehead; the
other entering behind the ear, passing
into the brain and producing fatal
result. The bullet in the brain WAS
extracted. and found fattsned. The
bullet which undoubtedly caused the
wound o. the forehead Was found on
the floor Of the room. This discovery
involves the case in deeper mystery. A
gentleman Who loaned revolver 10 the
ladies for their protection says he left
one chamber unlosdsd.
NEW YoRx, Dec 3l-A snow storm
followed BY sleet prevented any bust
ness ct the wharves The dullness Of
the market was enhanced by its being
the last day Of the year. Rates con-
tinue irregular. with . tendency to lower
figures. Railroad frsiehts have been
very active for the past day or two by
parties who we're about to give up con.
tracts; bnt many of those who have
again accepted contracts for year are
holding freights until after New Years,
when it 10 understood that new tariff,
more favorable than the old one. will
be issued to contracting shippers only.
thus giving them . slight advantage.
It 10 now said that the agent of the
Central Pacific ct San Francisco is max.
ing contracts with shippers, and offers
such favorable tariff that many who
were about to quit will renew their
CONTRACT. The msrksts are all dull.
Breadstuffs are quiet, bot wheat is clos.
ing stronger.

Mr. Fort TO INTRODUCES . resolution call.
ing upon the Administration to declare

finite Information of the results of the
labors Of the peace commission. Army
officers from the beginning have ridi-
cnled the efforts which have been made
to obtain the peaceable surrender of the
Indians engaged in the Meeker msssa.
Gre. Sherman believes that the only
way 10 deal with the troublesome In.
dams is to kill them. regardless of
whether their t:caty rights have been
trampled upon or not. The people OF
Colorado are anxious to occupy the val.
liable mineral lsnds owned hy the Utes,
and the press dispatches sent from De.
ven concerning the Ute troubles ere
designed to create ~ public sentiment
against the Indians The best proof of
this is the fact of official dispatches re-
ceived Ut the Interior Departnsnt from
agents Of the Government snd members
of the Ute commission containing no.
thing calculated to excite apprehension

whites now supposed to be On route for
