| Jacksonville, Ill. She had men clothes
on and her hair was cut short. He saw
six people murdered when at Bender's
house, and one entire family was killed,
| two children being buried alive. He
says his wife was born in Illinois, aud
she was the wife of George Ellison be-
| fore he married her. His first wife died
| at Jacksonville sixteen years ago, and
her name was Polly Peasley.
| They both say they have been five or
| six years among the Indians. An apph-
cation for requisition has been made to
the Governor of Kansas. It is fully be.
lieved by all who have seen them that, if
the genuine Blenders are not captured,
| at least two important witnesses have
been secured. The Sheriff believes he
| has got the genuine Blenders, and thinks
he has got clew to the whereabouts of
young John Bender.
LONDON, July ga telegram from
the government of Bombay says: ''Aiaj.
Gen. Primrose telegraphs today from
| Candabar as follows: Gen. Burrows
force is annihilated. We are going into
the citadel. The Marquis of Harting-
ton, in announcing the news in the House
of Commons, added that Gen. Phayre
had been instructed to collect what forces
| he can and march to Candabar. He had
telegraphed to Simla to send another bril-
gade if necessary.
| Regarding the disaster at Candahar,
the Marquis of Harrington, in the House
| of Commons, said: ''Gen. Phayre's re-
lieving force will concentrate at Chur-
man. A only the news respecting Gen.
| Burrows expedition has been telegraph
| ed, [ am unable to give the details of his
force, but believe it consisted of one bri-
gade, the composition and number of
which are unknown"
Gen. Burrows brigade was detached
| from the Candaher garrison to cooperate
with Shere Ali. The British appointed
| him Wall of Candahar against Ayoob
Khan, aspirant to the Ameership, and
when Shere Ali ordered his forces to re-
tire towards Girishk, his infantry desert
ed in body, but were pursued by Gen.
Burrows, who rescoveTed the guns and
wagons they had carried of. Weakened
| by the desertion of Shere Ais infantry,
Gen. Burrows effected a retrograde
ment to Kushki Naked, thirteen miles
nearer Candahar. Ayoob Khan's forces
had reached Helmond River, above
Girishk, and spies reported he had cross
ed that river at Hyderabad, and that T.
600 Ghazis had joined him while parties
OF cavalry were foraging near the British
camp. It would seem as if the Indian
| government felt some misgiving with re-
gard to Gen. Burrows position, for
| fortnight ago reserve division in Scinde
was placed under orders for active SER
vice. The division comprises O battery
of artillery, one battalion British and two
regiments native infantry, and one regi-
ment native cavalry. By moving this
force quickly to the front the Quettah
and Pischeen contingents can be relieved
for active duty under Gen. Phayre.
Ayoob Khan's forces will doubtless make
a rush at Candahar, but rs recent crop
reports are very satisfactory the garrison
viii probably be well provisioned. Cha
man, where Ghu Phayre's forces will
concentrate, is about half way between
Quettah and Candahar and ninety miles
from the latter place. The Governor of
Bombay's telegram says; "We can send
another brigade if necessary"
| WASHINGTON, July 29.-Gen. Grants
election to the presidency of mining
company is the outcome of longplanned
scheme upon the part of Ulysses Grant,
Jr., or ''Buck" Grant, as he is generally
called. Buck Grant is now % years old,
and one of the most successful fnanciers
of his age III this country. His talent in
that direction has beenfully brought out
during the last two years. During the
closing days of his fathers presidency he
acted as his private secretary. Grant
doubted everyone about him when Bah
cock fell, and would not allow any one
but Buck TO have access to his private
papers. Buck was at this time modest,
smooth-faced, medium sized, slim in fig
IRE, and very boyish- looking. His mod
esty and real ability, however, made him
many friends. Some powerful men in
New York took up Buck when his father
set out for Europe, Young Ulysses, who
is graduate of Harvard thought that his
future was to be developed in the legal
profession. He was, after admission to
the bar, assigned to duty in the district
attorneys Office IN New York. There
Secretary John Sherman has thrown
special business in his way. Buck, after
accommodating small capital under infiu-
ential and powerful auspices, began max
ing ventures III Wall street. He succeed
ed SO well that he abandoned the law for
the more profitable field of speculation.
Becoming interested, finally, in mining
stocks, he paid visit to the Pacific coast.
where the great bonanza firm OF Flood &
O'Brien took him under its wing. Mr..
Flood tossed young Buck few points,
and he made such good use of them
that the great spectators backed the
young Ulysses III his cruise around the
world of speculation, acting as his men
tor at every point. The docile pupil SO
made use of his skillful training that at
| the end of two years lie had $500, 900
placed to his credit. 1t was only when
this sum was reached that the young man
proposed matrimonial.a alliance with the
great firm. Buck has now associated
! with him as partner his brother, Jesse D.
