Captain Payne Again-EIfs Recent Trial Pronounced a Farce-Ready to Invade Indian Territory Agn1n-What He Pro- poses to do.
 LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 31.-Capt B. l.. Payne, the noted Indian Territory invader, caused @ decided sensation by turning up here yesterday. Until his appearance nothing could be learned from his trial at Fort Smith. The rumor was circulated and believed by many that Payne and his followers had been taken out of prison and hanged.
 Glow did your trial result" asked an in- terviewer. tIt was 8 mere farce. There was no trial at all. I don't think the Government went through the formula of calling the case. We were all discharged Before we left town subp@nas were served on us requiring our appearance at the November term of the Fort Smith court under the penalty of LOGO fine. Of course this is the merest bosh, in fact the Government fairly backed down and appeared afraid to try the case on it's merits. This we were anxious to do and I had able counsel engaged It would have been test case. Of the result I had no fear. This is the sec ond time have been arrested and in both in stances I have entered suit against General Pope for false imprisonment, laying damages at $50, ,OO0."

We don't want to disturb them in any way. We are not marauders or robbers but simply desire to settle upon Government land in one of the finest DOT tions of the Western continent, and this we intend to do I shall leave here soon for the West and in short time organize an expedition for Oklahoma. large num- Der of people are anxious to go there. I have letters and telegrams from all quarters of the country. In this State there are many families who desire to go. We shall lay out a town, build houses, churches and schools and get out daily pa per.

I remained in that country several weeks in company with some of my party and we ex- plored it thoroughly It is grand country. I have been all over the West and found nothing to equal it. We met and talked with the Indians freely. They were satisfied when we explained our object They agreed that the land belonged to the Government and made no objection to our proposed settle ment.

 The caisson of the tunnel shaft in Jersey City, by which it is expected to recover the bodies of the men buried by the caving-in of the tunnel July 21st, was finished to-day and at half-past eleven Engineer Lovejoy gave orders to have it lowered. A gang of men was at once put at work on the jackscrews supporting the caisson. The work progressed slowly, and it was late this evening before the caisson was lowered to the second tier of braces in the coffer dam, where it will rest until the air-locks are completed which will take until to morrow evening. After that the work will be prosecuted with compressed air, and it is confidently expected that it will go ahead.

If the Republicans carry Indiana in October the battle is won; if they lose Indiana the fight is still on end a vigorous fight too"

 WORCESTER, Aug. 31.-The annual State convention of the Democracy is at hand again and the Democratic clans are gathering rap idly. Nearly half the delegates to the con- vention are already here and the number com prises nearly all the prominent leaders of both wings. General Butler is not here to- night, nor any faction working in his inter est. The latest direct message from him is that he will be here in the morning, but he still insists that he is not and cannot be a candidate, and advises the selection of a man acceptable to both of the lately contending wings Judge Abbott is also conspicuous by his absence tonight, and there is 8 rumor that he will not be here tomorrow but there is no foundation for another rumor that he will not attend any convention to which Gen. eral Butler Is delegate. Outside of these two gentlemen the representative men of both the recent contending factions are here The corridors of the leading hotels are alive with Democrats. Either ex-Governor William A. Gaston or Charles H. Thompson, ex-Con- gressman of the Eighth district, will be nom- mated for Governor. The delegates from the western end of the State are strong for Thompson, and Gaston's strength lies with the eastern delegates. There was quite a boom for Colonel Jonas H. French tonight but he positively declines.
