How u Gang Of Tralnps Had Good Ii

How Gang of Tranps Had q Good Time
For several days past a gang of tramps
have been in this city, where they proba-
bly, came to spend their holiday season.
Every night it has been their custom to
station themselves ut different points along
North Queen street. They would stop
almost every male passer-by and in the
most piteOus tones would ask for 4 few
pennies " to get q nights lodging" Sew
eral members of the gang were moro bold
and would go into stores and ask for cash.
They went from door to door and one
would be on the watch while the others
"worked the stores.
Last night the gang, numbering seven,
managed to secure some money, with
which they purchased whisky. They all
became drunk an shortly before twelve
When they reached point near Plum
street they became engaged in quarrel
and began to batter each others faces.
Several persons were drawn to the scene
by the noise and they took two of the
tramps to the station house. Officers
Cremer, Coylc and Lcman then started
out East King street and arrested four
others. They We're all locked up and this
morning the mayor sent them to Jail as
follows o"e 30 days, one 90, one -, one
IL and two for 10.
Two of the men had their faces terribly
cut during the fight. The seventh man
who did not happen to be in the party
when they were arrested was not caught.
He is still in town, however. but as he is
rather sly hc may elude arrest, as he mas
been here for several weeks past.

THE SIOUX SCANDAL,
fOun. Spotted Tail EItrcs with S:rhn.f
HOrSc'S Nyife


Horses Wife.
The Omaha Herald, in q recent issue
says: n scandal among the highest Cir,
clcs of the Sioux nation has just been asi-
tating aboriginal society at Rosebud
agency. The particulars arc given the
Herald by gentleman who came from the
place day or two ago.
Some days since, young Spotted Tail.
son of Spotted Tail, the renowned chief OF
all the Sioux, took advantage of the ab-
sence Of Chief Stranger Horse on Il hunt
ingexpetlitiOn to persuade Stranger Iiorsc's 5
squaw to elopc and live with him. They
remained several days in young Spnt's
tepee, without interruption.
Stranger Horse returned FROM the hunt
to find his fire gone out, his squaw-hc
had but onc-tlcpartcd. and his tcpce
desolate. Gathering his friends about him,
he started out with his rifle. threatening
the life of the chief who had brough
shame into his household.
The affair was reported to the agent,
who summoned the faithless wife and her
paramOur to the agency, where they were
confronted with tho wrOnged husband.
Young Spotted Tail appeared to have
passed through long debauch, and the
woman hung her head in the presence Of
her husband. When the agent demanded
of young Spot why ho had committed this
wrong, the culprit gave the same lamenta
bic excuse that was offered by the first of
the race of men. "Shc led ne into it,
said the wayward chief.
After a full hearing Of tho case, in
which the agent acted rs q mediator, it
WIS decided that the wounded honor of
Stranger Horse should lie healed with the
gift Of III American horse and a number
of valuable articles, and that he should
take back his wife and live with her
again.
Thus bloodshed was avcrted and the
scandal hushed.
In following the usages Of his tribe,
Stranger Horse will very likely make the
faitlless wife Il menial and take another
squaw unto himself

BARLEY Campbell has brought suit for
criminal libel against Charles A. Byrnc.

that Campbell did not write the plays
My Partner" and The Galley Slave"

The Philadelphia car companies ran
their snow plOws over the streets and
threw up great hillocks Of snow on each
side along their length. The streets are
made next to impossible for vehicles, and
except at the crossings they arc barricaded
against pedestrians. At tho crossings there
is rarely more of an opening than has been
made by the cars and other vehicles in
forcing passage. The citizens aud mer-
chants are bowling.

S. B. DICK is the latest candidate for
the senatorial prize. Being Il Mason of
high degree and man of ability, and
having particular strength in the North
west, there is some reason to Geliose
that his candidacy may become fOrmid;l-
BILE. 1t is pretty we'll settled that Grow
has not the stamina to stand the race
and he must drop back after the promis-
ing start he will doubtless make ut the
head of the line. Ben Brewster has
been named from Philadelphia, and
the Press promises to stand by him with
all its guns. lie is i creditable candi-
date and doubtless the ugliest and ablest
among all who will appear; but it is
more than doubtful whether he can
stand the training. lie has been put
among the nominations before but never
came to the score. He lacks the power
to- handle the votes, and it is the votes
that elect. Who the coming man may
he is very uncertain beyond the fact that
it will II OF lie Grow and is not likely to
he Oliver. Some one will come up on the
homestretch and win in a canter.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
THE: LEAF.
Local Tobacco Market.

Our market has been very dull for a
week. The few buyers who were here
have left town and gone home to enjoy
their holidays. They will not return
until the new year comes in, and they will
not be likely to return then unless they
should be a season Of moist weather to
soften the tobacco so that an examination
of it may be made. A good many farmers
use steamers with which to keep the at
mosphere moist in their tobacco houses,
but VIC hear many buyers object to the
practice on the ground that it Injuries the
quality of the leaf. 1t is believed
that not one half Of the crop is yet strip
ped, and of course it cannot be stripped
during the present cold and dry weather,
unless artificial means are used to keep it
moist. Local dealers on being asked why
they are not in the field making purchases
shrug their shoulders, say it is too cold,
and that they will wait till they can wear
their straw hats, by which time the farm
ers may be willing to sell their crops for
what they arc worth. These sayings,
however, may be only Il trick of the trade.
We shall expect to sec not only the local
buyers but the foreigners on hand in
side of a fortnight.
Not much is doing in 1879 leaf. About
100 cases were disposed of during the last
week on private terms.
The New York 15dacco Leaf of Satur-
day, which only reached US this morning.
notes the following transactions in Penn
sylvania aud other tobacco in that city:
Messrs. f. Rosenwald & Bro, sold 100
cases. consisting Of Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut Of 1879 growth this week.
Mr.. Henry Meyer, Of Cincinnati, was in
town during the week, and bought 200
cases of 1879 Pennsylvania from Il Water
street firm.
Messrs. l.. Gershel & Bro, Of this city,
sold during the week 10 cases COnnecti
cut, of their Owa packing, partly to Il job
Der and partly to y manufacturer.
Mr.. ROthschild, of Messrs. Rothschild,
Schroeder Il Elisl, Chicago, was il town
during the week. This firm has bought
several hundred cases fine Pen ,sylvan;a

dred bales of Havana.

A YEAR or two ago Mr.. Ferry, sena-
tor from Michigan and president of the
Senate, was pummelled and had his eye
put in mourning by one Sidney w.
Cooper for having made improper ad-
vances to Cooper's daughter. Ferry
did not prosecute him and the common
verdict was that he had been guilty, but
he was deemed too insignificant to have
the matter get much attention. Now
that Ferry has had Cooper appointed
consul to Cadiz rs a consideration that
his mouth he stopped people are again
moved to commend the kind considera-
ton of Hayes's civil service methods.

HANGING is not altogether played
out - in the Lehigh region, even if a
murderer in those parts does slip the
moose occasionally. The savage trial
and swift judgment upon the monster
who met his fate near Bethlehem prove
that Judge Lynch holds court above as

and that the sluggish blood of the Penn
