THE UTE INDIANS.

The UIE INDIANS.
A late issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer
contains the following thrilling account of
the killing of jackson, the freighter, by the
Ute Indians:
Mr.. James Selover, who has just returned
from Colorado, thus relates the present Indian
difficulty there, which is threatening to take
hold of politics Il WAS at Gunnison, fifteen
miles from the late Ute emeute. 1t was
horrible occurrence and cannot fail, notwith.
standing what Carl Schurz says, to drive the
Utes out of the Territory. A WAGNER, called
out there freighter, was hauling goods over.
distance of one hundred miles or more.
His name was Jackson, and he is represented
as being a Woodworking, respectable man.
With him was his son, and nobody else.
They had encamped for the night, when there
came riding up to. them at full speed two
Indians, each with Henry rife, and one was
the son of the chief of the Ute band. These
Indians were drunk and horribly abusive.
They damned the white men for dogs and
slaves, and demanded that they 60 fetch Wa.
ter for them to drink. The white men in
that country are not fond of Shaving for In
dians, but the old man said to his son: "Nev.
er mind get the pail and 60 dip them some
water and bring it to them." The Indians,
still sitting on their horses with their rifles
across their knees, drank the water, and then
continued: "G-d-n white dogs! Make fire
and cook supper for Injun," following it by
every epithet the Indians could recollect from
white men, and at the same time significantly
tapping their rifles. The old man said to bis
SON: I'VE might just as well die right here
as to be cursed and ordered about any more.
Go get your rifle, son." The rifle lay in the
wagon box at the tail of the wagon, and the
boy took out the rifle and sighted it on the
wagon tongue, only intending to shoot as
last resort But the chiefs son, looking
around and seeing the boy at aim, instead OF
starting of, in which case he would not have
been harmed, slipped the tdbe of the breech
of his rifle aud felt for cartridge, showing
that be meant to shoot the boy and his father;
but before he could get his gun raised the boy
shot him dead, and the other Indian rode Oft
at full speed. Then these two men, who had
been quietly attending to their business, had
to mount their horses and ride to the nearest
post and Indian agency, four or five miles dis
tant. They had not been there long before
the Utes came galloping up, and the Indian
agent, fellow named Berry, deliberately
gave both that man and boy over to the In
dams, who took them away and tortured them
to death. They hung them up by their feet,
mutilated their persons, and after inficting
various cruelties, cut their throats. Such a
condition of things, existing in a country as
vigorous as Colorado, with about half mil
lion of people now, and with capital town
of nearl y fifty thousand inhabitants, iniamed
the population to the highest degree. The
Indian agents were arrested and will be tried
for giving up these men. The people are 60
ing to have no more of the Utes in Colorado.

After an animated discussion, Rev. DR..
Schenck moved as an amendment, that all af:
ter the word "provided," in the last section,
be stricken out. This also lei TO- 9 prolonged
discussion, but the report was finally adopted,
with Dr. Schenck's amendment. The vote
stood-clerical, Al ayes, 5 nays; lay, 30 ayes,

A message was received from the House of
Bishops nominating Rev. DR.. John Adams
Paddock, of the Diocese of Long Island. as
Missionary Bishop of Washington Territory,
and the House of Deputies, in secret session,
confirmed the nomination.
The Committee on Canons reported reso-
luton declining to concur with The House OF
Bishops in changing the existing canon with
regard to reinstatement of clergymen who
have abandoned the church. The resolution
was adopted.
Rev. DR.. Beers, of the joint committee on
securing Missionary Bishop for each terrific
ry in which there is not at present Bishop.
reported in favor Of the proposition. This
report was adopted, together with resolution
appointing d VI LNouCs.o w oSt
as an auxiliary to the Board of Managers of
Missions, and to create Missionary Bishop
fund. A resolution from the Committee on
Amendments to the Constitution, declaring it
iuexpedient at the-present time to amend the
constitution, so as to require future legislation
to the canon, was adopted. Hon. Mr.. Burg.
win, of Pttsburg, from the Committee Of
Conference on Disagreements of the two
Houses, as to the resolution concerning the
ratification of the amendment of the Book of
Common Prayer, reported that they had
agreed to restore one portion of the clause
stricken out by the House Of Deputies at its
session of Tuesday. This was the clause for
bdiing the use of any prayers other than
those in the prayer hooks.
Rev DR.. Philip Brooks, of Massachusetts,
presented minority report, in support OF
which, he said be saw no reason why the
House Of Deputies should recede from its &C.
ton of the previous day. "The right" he
said, "to use ertempore prayers was inaliena-
BILE, and any attempt to restrict it would be
odious to great part of the church." On a
vote being taken the report of the minority
was rejected by the following vote: Clergy
ayes, 26 noes, ~; eight dioceses divided ;
lay-ayes, II, noes rs. The majority report
was then adopted, and the subject will now
be passed to the Diocesan Conventions for
ratification.

Chicago Railroad. Eugene Fontaine. the IN
ventor, claims that this locomotive can be
made to 60 ninety miles an hour, while the
machinery is run no faster than that of an
ordinary locomotive travelling at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. The machinery is all
on top of the boiler instead Of under it. The
driving wheel rests on another wheel, which
in turn rests on the track. This lower wheel
has two rims, one foot smaller than the
other. The outer rim touches the track, and
the inner or smaller rim supports the driving
wheel. The motion of the driving wheel
thus communicated is magni6ed by this ar
rangement so that the lower wheel turns
one.third faster than the driving wheel, and
so the speed is increased. The smaller rim
of the lower wheel bears to the larger rim a
relation similar to that of very large hub
to any wheel. Of course any rate of motion
communicated to such hub is greatly mag
n6ed at the periphery of the wheel. In the
same way the motion of the driving wheel
in this case is magni6ed by the peculiar ar
rangement of the wheel it rests upon. Mr..
Fontaine believes that his locomotive, if it
were not for the increased resistance of the
air, could be run at the rate of lO7 miles an
hour. He expects it to make 80 miles an
hour easily.
The local district telegraph service in
New York, besides transmitting messages and
light parcels by messenger boys, has recently
made itself iseful in two novel and lnex-

to wake persons at any hour through the night
or early morning who require to be up and
stirring at a specified time and who fear to
oversleep themselves. For instance, if per-
son wants to take an early train, and it is ab-
solutely necessary he should be at the depot
in time, all that he has to do is to 60 to the
nearest district telegraph office, register his
name and address, deposit fee of ten cents,
and state the hour at which he wishes to be

CITY ELECTION,.
A Quiet Day and a Full Vote.

Inc weather yesterday, though not clear,
was fine, and at an early hour the voters of
silver Bow township were actively stirring
themselves preparatory to the proper exercise
OF their privileges as American citizens. Be-
sldes the straight democratic and republican
tickets, there were two fusion tickets in the
leid, on one of which the names of Mitchell
and Ives (dem.) for the council, and Higgins,
Jones and Humber (dem. for the house, were
substituted by Meader AMI Worden (rep.) for
The council, and Warren, Bell and Pardee
(rep.) for the house. This was known as the
democratic fusion ticket. On the republican
fusion ticket Aiken and Brown (deM.) for
council, and DeNolfe, Houser and Glenn
(dem.) for the house, were substituted for
Knowles and G. NJ. Brown (rep.) for council,
and Irvine II, Morse and Johns (rep.) for the
house. In other respects the tickets were
straight democratic or republican.
Voting Throughout the day was exceedingly
lively, and every man of every party worked
as though inspired with the idea that on his
sole arm hung victory. The fusion tickets,
it is perhaps unnecessary to say, received the
support Of those who desired the division of
the county, and as only the Deer Ledge rep
resentatives were left OF the fusion tickets,
each f~usionist had the satisfaction of voting
according to his party predictions except in
relation to three or four of the candidates
named.
During the entire day We were proud 10

THE MINE.
A Property which il Rapidly Coming TO
the Trent ON ats 0wH Merits.

The Stevens has been long known as one
Of the best properties in the district, and for
the amount of capital invested in its devel-
opment has produced more, with the excep-
tions of the Anselmo and Star West, than any
other mine in the camp. From the bottom of
the middle shaft, which is down so feet, the
west drift is in a distance of so feet, following
a fine looking vein Of free ore which has
yielded handsome returns. In the east d.ift,
the face of which is distant IS feet from the
shaft, the ore body lying between we'll defined
walls, is over tive feet wide, and is clean,
regular and compact. The ore taken from
this drift assays from Is to 100 ounces per.
ton, as shown by the books of the Dexter
mill, where the product was worked. About
a month ago the lessee, Mr.. Samuel Stuart,
in order to test the continuity of the vein.
began prospecting at a psint about 325 feet
east Of the middle shaft. From a large boul-
der imbedded in the giound he broke off a
corner and found that it assayed 125 ounces
in silver and several dollars in gold, so he at
once ran a cIosscut, and within a few days
struck a large body Of quartz, though he was
unable to discover 4 wall. A shaft was at
once started. which yesterday attained a depth
of q feet. A foot wall smooth and regular
has come in, and the disorganized mass of
| ledge matter as encountered near the surface
has developed into a strong body of ore two
feet wide, and assays of Tuesday showed
from - to 92 ounces in silver. Picked
samples run as high as $50. The shaft,
as far as sunk, has yielded one
ton Of ore to tn: foot, aud if the hanging and
foot wall streaks continue to enlarge as they
have enlarged daring the past week, and
crowd out the ledge matter as they give evil
tencc Of doing, it is fair to assume that at a
depth of so feet where sinking will be sus-
pended on account Of water, and where the
levels will be ran, The vein Will be at least
four feet wide. Mr.. Stuart greatly regrets
his inability to continue the shaft belo" the
