San Francisco, May 31.-A Tucson
dispatch says: o. r. Smyth, superin-
tendent OF the N. NJ. q L. Co., from
Tucson to Mesilla, New Mexico, is here
from Silver City. He states that the
whole country surrounding Silver City
is in a state Of terror and demoraliza-
tion. Victorio and his band of not less
than $50 wtrriors, made up OF Apaches,
Mescaleros, Comanches and Navajos,
are spreading death and destruction be-
fore them. The troops under General
Hatch appear to be powerless.
A volunteer company OF fifty men are
equipped, mounted and rationed by the
citizens Of Silver City to aid the mill.
tary. This company, under Captain Z.
V. Price, reported to Hatch ut Magellan
mountains some days ago, offering Their
aid. In response to this offer they
were informed by Hatch that citizens
had better attend to their own business
and that he would take care of the In.
dians. At that time the San Francisco
valley was being made desolate by the
Indians, the settlers fleeing for Their
lives. Not less than twenty-five people
were killed. II is also well known that

TO All Competing Lines.
From tho Omaha Herald
There Is nothing slow about the Bal
timore and Ohio road. When 1t sets
itself down to make it lively for COM
peting lines there Is never any question
as to the result. Recognizing the fact
that the west no longer plays second
fiddle 10 the east and determined that
the west shall have line east, the time
OF which will make old heads swim, the
B. & o. has made up schedule that
will surprise the natives. The new
card went into effect Sunday and IL
knocks eight hours of the journey TO
Washington via st. Louis and eleren
hours of via Chicago. 1t is only by
this one fast train on the b. Il o. that
all this time is saved, or in other words
the Baltimore and Ohio is just this
much quicker to Washington and Balti-
more than the fastest trains of other
roads, while to New York and Boston
none exceed 1t. The splendid double
track has been put in apple-pie order,
the passenger equipment have been fur.
nished with the Janney coupler plat
form, and In short, everything has been
done to insure the utmost comfort OF
passengers. To this end also the spa
cious dining halls Of the company have
been renovated and the tables placed
under the care OF one OF the most popu.
lar caterers Of the east. The B. & o.
is the picturesque line OF America and
never has the country 1t traverses looked
lovelier. 1t

crease his chances. and. il possible,
bring about his nomination. They
claim that his forces are stronger M.
merically and every other way than
they have ever been, and that the pros
pect Of his nomination Is encouraging
and bright. They assert that the dele
egations sent here, with him as theil
preference, win stand as firm as rock

II is not surprising 10 hear the Blaine
men state that Grant is already beaten,
and that they now have more 70 fear
from Sherman or Edmnnds or Wash
burn than from the conqaeror Of Lee.
This may be brag, but there Is no doubt
that many Of the Blaine men sincerely
believe it. His managers state that all
they ask is fair play and no favor in the
convention.

way toward the antl-Grant organiza-

At n meeting Of the national commit

LAST week, in the town of Muir
freesboro, the center Of one Of the
richest sections of Tennessee, two
negro murderers were hung in the
presence of an immense concourse
of people, Before the entertain>
ment came off, raised seats were
erected near the gallows, and were
sold on the day Of the hanging for
twenty-five cents apiece. In addi-
ton to this there was a barbecue,
to which persons were admitted for
an additional sum. If such thing
had occurred off somewhere in the
backwoods, where there are no
churches nor schoolhouses, it would
not have excited surprise, but oc~
curing as it did among aupeople
noted for their refinement and hos
pitality, it is not only a source of
astonishment but also of regret to
every Tennessean. Of course it
was a humiliating spectacle to the
good people Of that community.
We must have a law in Tennessee
against public executions. They
are demoralizing and diSgraceful.

T. Aflersa hearty breakfast be started

at the ihsa of Independence GuIcb
at $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Another hour took him to the suA-
NIT. He had a drawing knife with
him and he stopped to fix his snow
shoes, The edges were shaved down
and the pole was sharpened.A Then,
securing everything about his person
carefully and bracing himself for the
perilous decent, he made the start.
The crust on the snow was like ice,
and neither shoes nor pole made any
Impression upon it. This rendered
any attempt at steering or slowing up
useless, and an idea of the rapidity
with which that descent was made may
be had when we state that It was just
10 o'clock when he had left the sum
NIT, and tour miles below, where be
passed a cabin, be pulled out his
watch and it marked seven minutes
past, showing 8 speed Of over mile
in two minutes. 1t was while on this
descent, and at the speed attained,
that McCandless passed through the
most imminent peril Of the whole trip.
AS he drew near to timber, o tall and
sturdy pine, full three feet in diameter,
doomed up directly in his course.
His hair stood on end, as every effort
to swerve TO one side of it proved
vain until when, within few feet
of the tree, the snow had become a
little softened by the sun, and slight
grip was taken by the shoes and pole.
Expecting instant death, and with the
mentally. uttered prayer Of Goodbye,
Mac the man threw himself over un-
til his shoulder touched the snow. A
sharp zip and the tree was passed in
safety. On down through the timber
few the slider, and soon the foot of
the range was reached in safety.
From there on he used his legs with
such good effect that Twin Lakes
were reached at o'clock in the after.
noon Of Sunday, McCandless having
made 50 miles that day. Monday
at 10 80, he left the Lakes,
and at u 80, two hours later, he was
eating dinner at the Grant Hotel in
this city.
The snow shoes on which this trip
was made are worth mention. Nc
Candless hewed them out himself at
his cabin. Their lepgta is thirteen
feet nine inches each. while the guild
ing pole is thirteen feet long. Mc-
Candless is an export in their use,
having travelled perhaps thousands
of miles upon them. In addition to
his travels in all the noteworthy min
ing regions of America, be has visit
ed and mined in the gold fields of
the diamonds beds of
Africa and other notable foreign
Countries. He unreservedly declares,
however, that this lasttrip, as detailed
above, is by far the hardest and most |
perlious he has ever made. He will
return to Roaring Forks in a few days

DEPRESSING THE POOR.

A reverend hypocrite and fend
named Cowley, who had charge Of q
benevolent institution in New York,
having for its object the protection
and maintenance Of little orphan
children, was detected a few weeks
ago in acts of the grossest cruelty
to those under his charge. He was
promptly indicted and is now in the
penitentiary, where he richly de-
serves to be. Speaking of him the
Memphis Appeal we'll says;
1.-THE New York court before whom
Rev. Mr.. Cowley, late superintendent
of the Fold of the Good Shepherd,
was on trial, has sentenced that wretch
to one years imprisonment In the
state penitenliary, and to pay fine OF
two hundred aud fifty dollars. Never
was punishment more richly deserved
or promptly meted The cruel
Pharlsee not only victimiZed
the public for charity under false pre-.
fences, but victimized the poor waifs
of the slums whom he gathered into a
fold whose very name he made re
finement OF irony, and which was a
constant reproof to one who could SO
far forget his vows at the altar and
every day deliberately deny the Christ
he had promised to follow as an exam
pie Of c0mpassonating love. Cowley
will find few to shed tears with him
anywhere. He has not only dis
graced himself, but engendered a sus-
piciOn that 1t will take years to allay.
Many persons are asking II there are
not many Cowleys-it many OF our
charitable Institutions presided over
by seemingly good shepherds are not
very bells by the ill-treaiment Of those
to whose support charitable public ia
always willing to contribute. There
may be. Only few weeks ago we
published some horrible tales from in.
sane asylums in New York, Indiana,
Ohio and Wisconsin. Who knows
but that the cruelties these re-
counted are being repeated IA many
poorhouses, orphanages, and other
eleemosynary Institutions? 1t Is i'm
possible, under the present general
lack OF Surveillance aud inspection, to
tell, and we shall never know until In

"THE condition Of the public roads is

trade intercourse, promote comfort

This We clip from the agricultural

Is it true? If 50, the measure of
civilization in Tennessee is not a
thing to boast of. If that is the
standard of civilization here, it
would be a compliment to Tennes-
seesns to call them semi-barbariaps,

be classed as barbarians. When

perilous journey Of Mr.. +. G. Nc
Candless, who made the trip from
Ute City, in the Roaring Fork district
to Leadville, on snow.shoes---ninety--
miles-in four days and half:
The FIRST eighteen miles occupied
three days of hard labor, and brought
him to Independence camp. Two days
of this three be was without food,
having taken bat one days supply
on starting. The difficulties in the
road we're appalling. Heavy wet
SHOWS had laden the trees in the can
on, and soaking them full of water.

and strong winds had cracked them
off their stnmps like 80 many
matches. This caused the mar

perpendicular and heavily timbered
walls of the canon forbade any attempt
to scale them and to- pass this all
insurmountable obstruction McCand-
less saw be must cut his way through
or return. He chose the former
course. A light square axe was his
only tool, and was almost useless,
as the wood was nearly equal to rock
In hardness. He had calculated on
making Independence camp the
first night. His provision was gone,
and there was nothing TO do but toll on
or lie down and die. Night came on,
dark and cold. No,wolyes howled to
keep him company, nor was the roar
of the mountain lion heard. Nothing
broke the death-like silence save the
thud Of his little axe as he cut his
way, inch by inch and foot by foot,
through the gloomy deile. So passing
the night, the second day; and late
in the afternoon McCandless, haggard
pale, starved and completely worn out,
crawled up to the door of a cabin in
Independence camp. He was warm.
