THE INDIANS.

Stolen stock-A Mail Driver Killed by the
 Hostiles.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-General Sheridan has received the following telegrams
 END OF TRACK, D. T., Aug. ,. To Ruggles, Adjutant General, St. Paul; 4 party of five men said to be Indians ran off a herd from Graders Camp, five miles west of my camp, last night. Nowlan was promptly sent in pursuit only about four hours behind The stock has all been recov- cred and Nowlan is still in pursuit. There is considerable doubt in my mind whether the raiding party really Indians. Last night four mules were stolen from Green river camp by white men. The mules were re- covered and one of the thieves captured. (Signed) MERRILL,
 Major Seventh Cavalry.

Maud g. in Practiee-Some Splendid
 Work Pro1nised OF, ThursdaY.

Work Promised Thursday.
 ROCHESTER, Aug. 9.-Vanderbilt's phe- nomenal sorrel mare Maud S. was driven for exercise on the Rochester track this morning, one mile and repeat. It was not the inten- tion of Bair, her driver, to let Maud go fast CT than 2:25, but she logged along so easily and appeared so perfectly at home on the track that her first mile was made in 2:23 She seemed restive and anxious to do her best on the second mile, but Bair held her down to about the same gait till the last quarter, where he hadn't much idea she would accomplish anything unusual in fact he didn't believe when he reached the finish the mare had done any better than frequent ly when trotting for purse. But one of the spectators who held an ordinary watch de- elared that the last quarter had been trotted in the unprecedented time of 29 sec onds. This was astounding information to the horsemen, for Bair had not intended to let Maud go fast. He looked around to find somebody who had held 8 stop-wetch and had enough experience to get the time accurately. Captain Stone, who has charge of the mare declared that her last quarter had been trotted in g seconds instead of 29 as reported This last record was readily verified by consultation with another man holding a stop-watch. Maud S., driver and grooms do not hesitate in their assertions that she could trot four such quarters if the man holding the ribbons would permit her. Among the many horsemen quartering in the town hardly one can be found who does not believe that on Thursday Maud S. will take the special purse of $2,O00 here, and beat the best record of even St. Julien W. H. Do- ble of Philadelphia, thinks she will trot in 2:11, and says 500 people are coming from Philadelphia to see her do it.

No one has yet positively identified them. Several parties claiming to have known the Renders say they are not the original ones, but persons are ex- pected from Cherry Valley who were well ac- quainted with them and can say for a cer- tainty that they are the Renders. Yesterday afternoon the Renders were exhibited at the Theatre Comique at Kansas City, Mo, 25 cents admission being charged.

McDonald's Whiskey Ring Chnrges-His
 Statements Denied By Revenue Officers.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 9.-Ex-C Commissioner of Internal Revenue Douglass, who still resides in this city practicing law was interviewed by reporter to-day touching the McDonald whiskey ring disclosures. Douglass said he did not read it, but an abstract published here this morning was shown him, which he read carefully. After reading he said We'll, all have to say is this, touching all and sin gular allegations concerning myself, they are batch of lies. The truth is I never liked Mcdonald and he knew it. I did not like his ''I don't believe" added Douglass, ''that ex- President Grant knows anything about the whiskey ring. I do know that Mcdonald was an officer in the army, and as such Grant met him. Grants friendship for him grew out of the army acquaintance. I knew that McDon- aid had Grants confidence, but only from the fact that he was an old army friend and not because of any connection he (Grant) had di- rectlE or indirectly with the whiskey ring"
 Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue Rodgers who is likewise described in Me Donald's book as having guilty knowledge of the existence of the whiskey ring, vigorously denies the allegation. Colonel Joyce, who is mentioned in McDonald' s work, was a revenue agent in Missouri and is now and has been for several years a quiet citizen of Georgetown. He is as much surprised as anybody at the statements. Colonel Joyce remarked to-day that under the circumstances it will be great comfort to him to have the Ss25O, ,OOo which Mcdonald says he got. He will then feel easy with re- gard to financial matters. But as he did not get that or any other sum- he did not seem to McDonald's book.
