Risbs Of Way.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29th.-Two
separate conferences were held to-
day, at the Interior Department.,
before Secretary SchurZ, between
the Cheyenne River aud Lower
Brule Sioux Delegations and rep.
resentative of the Chicago and
Northwestern and Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroads, in regard to OBJ
tanning the right of way for q con-
tinuation of the two lines of rail-
way through the Sioux reservation.
An informal conference was held
with the Cheyenne River Delega-
tian, at which Four Bears renewed
his proposal of yesterday by asking
81, 900, 900 for the necessary lands.
Secretary Schurz stated that the
Railroad Company offered to pay
nearly SIS per acre for the necessary
strip of land, which, he said, was
nearly four times as much as the
government obtained for wild
lands. He endeavored to point out
to them the advantages which
would result from having a rail-
road built through their reserva.
tion owing to the fact that it would
bring crops nearer to market and
thus enhance the value of their
lands adjoining the railroad. If
they wanted to be civilized, rail-
roads were great civllizing agen.
cies. Rattling Reb then wanted TO
know whether they could or could
not get the price asked, when Seq
retary Schurz infor med them they
could not and added that he
thought the Indians did not know
how much $7,000,O00 were or they
would not be so foolish as to ask
such price. Rattling Rsb con-
cluded his talk by remarking that
we must talk it over slow and they
would 60 home and talk with their
people.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29th.-Gen.
Walker, Superintendent of Census,
will have all necessary data for q

for consideration by Congress upon

lican mem bsrs to let the subj ect 90

reason and also because of the
shortness Of the session, the

this subject. On motion of John
Kelly, the chairman appointed five
members to act with the chairman
and secretary of the committee to
prepare an address. The committee
consists of John Kelly, VIM. W.

LUNATICS IN CALIFORNIA

SAN Francisco, July 22.-The
greenback state convention this
morning nominated W. A. Howe,
Of Salono county. for congress from
the third district, and J. D. God
frey, of Los Angeles county, from
the fourth district. The platform
adopted by the convention endorses
the Chicago (greenback) platform,
and adds thereto a clause in favor
of the repeal of the specific COM
tract law, and the issue to the
people by the government of money
on good security and at a rate of
interest not in excess of the cost of
issuance. This plank provoked
much discussion. It was
urged that the interest being
robbery. The plank was a conces~
sion to wrong, and it was finally
agreed that it would not at present
be expedient to avow the idea that
the government should furnish
money without any interest. The
original proposition to make the
rate 8 per cent. was modified as
above stated.

Wood, aged 80 years, engineer of
a stationary engine for the Lehigh
coal and navigation company, was
murdered last night at Bull Run,
between Tamaqua and Summit Hill,

have been the motive, as the money
Wood had with him was not taken.
The homes of the Mollie Maguires
have been turbulent for several days
past, and the murder was believed
to be their work.

BY HIS OWN HAND.
A Romance with q Tragic Ending.
TChattanoopa Times


We learn from reliable sources of a
dreadful affair, which has occurred on
Walden's ridge, near Mabbitt's
springs, about seven miles distant
from this city.
For months past s. white man. liv-
ing on the ridge, has been paying
court to q woman, who also received
attentions from another resident in
that quarter. The latter gentleman
was the more fortunate, and f. W days
ago they married, to the great discom-
future Of his rival.
He was seen moping about the
ridge for several days thereafter, in the
most unpleasant frame of mind, and it
Is supposed that he at length concluded
that life was not worth living for, If he
could not get the woman Of his choice,
and procuring a gun, he wandered
into the woods and there ended his
existence.
His body was found a few days ago
some distance from bis house, in q
clump of bushes. His gun was lying
by his side. SNumero:s gun shot
wounds were visible about his head
and breast. His eyes were picked out
by birds, and his entire body in the
last stage Of decomposition.
The body was given a decent burial
by the mOuntaineers.
No foul play is suspected, and no
further investigation of the cause OF
his death will be made.

A BUDGET

AN ANGLO-AMERICAN RO-
NANCE.

New YORK, July ga cable
special gives the following partlcu-
lars of the death of Mrs. Annie
Witmore, in Paris. "The suicide of
Mrs. Annie Witmore, which took
nlace st the residence of Mrs. AL
bert Clinton, at No. II, Rue
Chateaubrian, at 3 o'clock yester-
day, has created a painful SEM
sation among the English and
American residents here. 1t is the
old story of misplaced affection,
abandonment and despair. Some
two or three years ago the deceased
lady met Marquis Anglesy, then
Lord Henry Paget. She was hand
some and an attractive woman, and.
it is said, she abandoned her huaE
band and only child under the i'm
preston that if she could get a d.
7orce Lord Henry Paget would
marry her. However this may be,
it is certain that the relations of the
parties were of the most intimate
character, and the friends of Mrs.:
Witmore were led to believe that a
promise of marriage actually existed,
and that divorce having been obs
tanned she would soon become
Lady Anglesy, Lord Henry Paget
having succeeded to the title. The
unfortunate lady's hopes were sud-
denly blasted, however, by the pub
Ication of the marriage of the new
marquis to Hon. Mrs. Woodhouse,
widow of Lord Kimberley's second
son, and daughter of Preston King,
of Georgia. The shock to Mrs.
Witmore was terrible, and her
friends thought she would lose her
reason. After she became more
composed the idea occurred to her
of sueing the marquis in the
English law courts for breach of
promise, as she had upwards of 200
of his letters, which she considered
would establish her case. Whether
she shrank from the scandal of such
proceeding, or whether she was de-
tered from putting it into
execution by the insuficiency
of means is not known, but she set
tied down into a state of deep
melancholy, from which nothing
could arouse her, and finally she
procured the fatal drug, which put
an end to her existence. The police
authorities held an inquiry into the
affair to-day, and after inspecting
the body, gave M. Weeks, of the
chapel in Rue Bayard, permission
to make all the necessary arrange
ments for the funeral. The last
services will be conducted by DR..
Morgan, at his chapel, on next Sat-
urday morning.

A FURIOUS FIEND.
General Lee, sthe Negro ourangou-
tang, Attacks an Officer and
Wounds Him.

Pulaski has been afflicted for
years with an ill-shapen, foul smell
ing, british negro calling himself
General Lee, pretending TO be half
witted and adding to his monstrous
ugliness the most revolving gibber
ish and vulgar behavior. He has
paraded our streets and invaded
our kitchens and filled the air with
the fetish stencil of loathsome filth
and disease, until his presence is q
plague and the very smell of him a
pestilence. Decency has in vain
proclaimed him a nuisance, a cahk
erous vagabond, a poisonous rep
tile, a leproIs demon. Added to
these Is a spirit as mean as that
which actuates the,hounds at hell's
gate, the rutfianly instincts of
brute, the venom of a reptile, all
slimed over with a human-reasou
just sufficient to give them point.
Our people have endured him,
knowing that he was dangerous,
and the law has avoided him and
let him pass as almost irresponsi-
bic. Last week, however, he was
arrested as a vagabond and sent to
the workhOuse, and on Saturday
Mr.. Gallie Rainey took him out
with his gang to the rock quarry.
When they arrived Mr.. Rainey or
dered him with the balance to get
off the wagon and 60 To work. He
refused to move and could not be
persuaded, until Mr.. Rainey went
up and tapped him behind time or
two to show him what must follow
disobedience. As quick as thought
the devil jumped from the wagon
onto a pile of broken stones and
commenced to hurl them at Mr..
Rainey. He is as strong and agile
as a tiger and he let the rocks come
thick and fast and strong, until one
very large and rough stone struck
Mr.. Rainey on the bridge of his
nose, crushing in the bone. He
threw perhaps fifty rocks and did
not stop until he chose to do so.
Mr.. Rainey drew his pistol, but
only to intimidaLe him, as he did
not shoot. He told the other pris
oners to take him, but he deied
them and kept them at bay, until
Esq. Howard, of Sugar creek, hap
pened to pass and stopped ami in
duced him to come up town with
him, and he was placed in Jail.
1t is the universal opinion that it
is dangerous to the men, women
and children of this community
that this half-witted devil should be
longer permitted to affiict and me-
mace US with his presence. We call
upon the authorities to take some
measures to rid the town OF him
perpetually. He is not only dan
gerous in that he may kill or main
some of US or our children, but he
is eaten up with 8 loathsome dis
ease that is Infectious. He is ter
rible, outrageous nuisance.
Mr.. Rainey suffered considerably
from his wound. He exercised
great presence of mind in not
shooting his assailant-too great,
in our opinion.
