Two Grave Women and Cinnamon
Bear.

Mrs. G. VI. Marshall and Miss Lu
TAYLOR. of Fire i.oie Basin, were
surprised short I ne ago by seeing
a large cinnamon bear on the roof
of the root house, cndeavoring to
make its way tothe succulent viands
contained therein. They tried to
scare the animal away by throwing
such missiles at him as were in
reach, but bruin didn't scare worth
a cent. and continued to tear OF the
roof OF the house as though they
were not In the vicinity. Fearing
that they would be left toodless and
ADMINISTRATION, they decided upon
trying other means, and getting a
Sharpe rifle which hung in the
house, they overcame their feminine
aversions to such weapons, loaded
up the gun, and, getting to the cor
ner of the house, took good aim and
fred. with such effect that the bear
came tumbling of the roof and
made bee line for his tormentors,
who, woman like. dropped the gun
and ran into the house as fast rs
they could 90, and securely barred
the door. Unable TO get 1t them,
the bear struck for the timber, and
the ladies, seeing him going of. went
out, picked up the gun, reloaded it
and followed him. They had not
proceeded far in the timber when
they heard the bear groaning heavi-
", as if much hurt, and cautiously
seeking their opportunity, ;hey
rested the gun across a log and
again let drive AZ 1t, this time with
such good aim as to shoot itthrough
the heart, killing it almost instantly,
and, lest it might come TO life again,
they gave it another shot for good
luck, then left it. The skin now
hangs in The hotel as a trophy Of
the pluck and craftsmanship OF
these National Park Cianas. The
bear, when dressed, weighed about
100 mounds.

Narrow Escape from Death.

PsospEcr. FIousE, Niagara Falls,
August ,. Three men came as near
going oyer the falls here on Monday
night Us ever any nan did who still
lives to tell the story John Leh-
man and his son and John Green
wood, all OF Chippewa, Ontario, .
village Il short distance from here,
crossed the fiver in the morning III
two small boats to visit some friends
on the American side. The two
Leilmals were in one bolt and
Greenwood was in tic other. They
set out just before dusk TO return
home and pushed their boats into
the stream, hardly more than u mile
above the falls. Ii was an exceed
ingly foolhardy thing to do, but
they were familiar with the river
and thought they could play with
the rapids u little without being
hurt. They were not more than
half way across 8hen the river be-
came covered with thick fog, and
the men lost each other. 1t was
impossible for them to guide them
selves in the darkness and mist, and
they began to shout for help. Their
cries were heard on shore, but no.
body cared to venture into the
stream to run the chance OF finding
them or being hurried over the falls.
Their cries, however, were answered,
and the whole town turned out TO
try to rescue them. The church
bells were rung, and the large bell
on the tannery, to direct the imper-
lied men which way to head their
little craft, but the roar Of the falls
drowned every other sound, and the
boats were meanwhile drifting rap
idly toward the edge. Greenwood
had a small anchor attached to q
long line in his boat, and he threw
it out. The anchor, by great good
luck, took hold of rock, and his
progress was stopped. The ieh-
mans drifted down to within half a
mile of the falls, their course being
easily traced from the shore by their
cries. Their lives were saved by
their boat striking counter-current,
which carried them against pro
jecting point on the Canadian side.
near the burning spring. Green
wood was heard shouting for help at
intervals throughout the night, but
in the morning when day broke he
was seen still riding safely at an
chor, and was soon rescued.

indian Atrocities.


DENVER, Col, August 5.-A SIZE
cial from Sauta Fe, N. NJ, Of vesier-
day says "a courier who arrived
AT Fort Craig this morning says that.
the Mescalero Indians who, since the
9th of July, have been pursued by
Licutenant GuilioyIe's command,
have crossed the Rio Grand, and
are running off stock and killing
hertlers IL Old Mexico. So far rs
known, two herders and one miner
have been killed, and the Indians
have captured all the stock OF Corns
& McConkey's stage line from Eugle
Station to Black range. Yesterday
46 citizens left San Marcial, armed
and mounted, to bury the bodies Of
the killed. At noon yesterday while
eating dinner in Red Canon, in the
San Mateo Mountains, they were
surprised by Indians. AT the first
fire one man was killed and seven
were wounded all the stock was
captured. The remainder of the
whites then got behind the rocks
and despatched two men to Fort
Craig for help. Gen. Hatch ordered
Lieut.. Guilfoyle and detachment
of fifty men at Fort Craig to the
scene of the fight, where they prob
ably have arrived before this. Cour-
iers have been despatched to two
companies of cavalry scouting in
San Mateo and Cuchillo Negro
Mountains, and Lieut.. Taylor's de-
tachment of Indian scouts is guard
ing and scouting at Black range.
Two companies OF cavalry leave the
Navajo reservation for Black range
tomorrow. Thus far, seven victims
have been gathered in by the recent
raids. Gen. Hatsh is Of the opinion
that some Of the Nayajoes have join
ed the Apaches.''
CHICAGO, Aug, "a special dis
patch to the Tribune, dated Socorro,
\. NJ, Aug, 4, says: "The muir
derous red devils are now ravaging
IN this neighborhood, and have kill
ed oil people by the score. Last
night an encounter occurred between
them and the Mexicans at Paraie,
resulting in the death of thirteen
Mexicans. Two Indians who were
captured were burned alive. Reports
come in hourly of fresh murders,
and and q party is being hurriedly
raised and armed to go to the rescue
Of the miners at Pueblo Springs,
where they are surrounded and in
imminent danger. The band is a

ous than his predecessor. Unless

The State Campaign.

the campaign in Pennsylvania,
this year, viii be short and proba-
bly, sharp. The Republican Con-
vention meets at Harrisburgh on
September Sth, and this will leave
but sixty days before the election.
But contest can hardly be made
without two parties in the field, it
is possible that the canvass viii not
open so soon, for the Democrats
have not as yet fixed upon the date
of their Convention, and may make
it even later than the date adopted
by the Republicans.
The situation, this year, resembles
in many respects that Of two years
ago. There is but one State officer
to be chosen-a Trelsurer-and
upon tie importance of this as an
indication of the political feeling
of the State the issue will rest. 1t
viii not, however, be quite as much
Of an "off year" as 1879, in one re-
spect, for the county tickets, which
were then very light and compara-
lively unimportant, this yearincludes
some OF the more important offices
in which Il greater interest is taken.
In the closely contested counties
this viii serve to bring out the vote
TO a greater extent than was the
case in 1879, increasing the force of
the contest on the State ticket, atthe
same time.
The chief Importance of the cleo
ton, this year, must be to show the
continued adherence of the State to
the Republican party's principals
and policy II viii be essential, of
course, that a competent and trust
worthy man should be elected to
have charge Of the Treasury, and
We have right to assume that the
candidate presented by the Repub-
lican Convention will be one pos
sessing these qualifications in the
fullest degree; beyond this viii lie,
as we have said, the issue:of nation
al politics, and the question whether,
a. the outset of President Garfeld's
administration, with its promise Of
good work and honest effort the
people will vote that they have less
confidence in him than they had
nine months ago. We have no
doubt what their reply to this will
be, 1t is altogether likely that with
reasonable effort 10 rouse the people
and get out the Republican vote,
the result will be another such ma
jority as that Of 1879. The Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania has
made no progress 1t has given no
sign of deserving a return of conf
dence or favor. 1t stands where it
did in 1878, 1879, and 1880, and in
each Of these years it was far in the
rear in the Pennsylvania contest

Severe Storm.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. IA Sc
we're storm swept over the section
of the State last evening, and ex-
tended as far as Menoramo, in Wis
consin. The greatest damage was
done in Minneapolis. For time
it really appeared as if the city
would be swept in genuine cyclone.
4 house in process of erection by
Frank Lee was wrecked Lightning
struck the barn of Andrew Paulson,
which was totally consumed. Coun-
ty Surveyor Plummer, who was in
Brooklyn township when the storm
struck that point, states that the
sound of the storm could be distinct
ly heard for some time before its ar
rival. After its passage the damage
was found to be confined to hay and
grain stacks, which were leveledsand
scattered about the Country. Small
grain in the fields and in stacks was
blown down and badly damaged,
and it is impossible to estimate the
damage done in the line of the storm,
as the wires in every direction were
wrecked

Says the Harrisburg Telegraph :
How the next House of Representa-
tives viii be organized is a question
which begins to assume importance,
rs in a little over four months the
event will be consummated. Ac-
cording TO a statement in the New
York Tribune from which we con-
dense. there were elected to the
House 14S Republicans, 135 Demo-
Gratis, S Greenbackers and 3 Virgin
ia Readjusters. This would have
givcn the Republicans a majority Of
three over the other parties. There
are now four Republican and two
Democratic seats to be filled. This
includes a seat from South Carolina,
which was filled by the exclusive
Democratic vote, and which will be
contested by the Republicans and
probably given to them. In all the
other vacancies to be filled there viii
be no change, which will make the
size of the Republican majority de-
pend on the action of the members
elected by coalition OF Republican
and Greenback votes. OF the eight
Greenback men four and possibly
five may be rated as Republicans in
organizing the House. Should the
Republicans secure four Greenback-
crs their majority will be fourteen
in full House. If the vacancies
are not filed before Congress meets,
the Republicans viii still have IA
members-a majority of ONE over
all other parties in house of 2S7
members. With 4 Greenback votes
they would have a majority of 8,
and with 5 Greenback votes and 2
Readjusters the Republican majori-
ty would be Is in House of 2S7
members. With all the vacancies
filed, and ! Greenbackers and 2
Readjusters voting with the Repub-
licans their majority would be Il.
Thus according to the estimates of
the Tribune, based on every possible
change that could occur in the nom
bership Of the House, as its con Ii
ton is now regarded, the Republi-
can majority viii yibrate between
one and screnteea. The House is
thus secured to Republican control
beyond the peradventure of a doubt,
result regarded as far more inn
portant to the labor and capital of
the country, and the credit of the
Government, than any other event
at present contemplated in national
politics.

but was taken prisoner By the In
dians. and would have been killed
had not his lost Mexican boy, ap-

was wealthy and could be ransomed.
He was secured, and could not see

the Indians. who numbered 10 or
4G. Six Of the latter were killed
and nine wounded and all the whites
were killed, six Of them being des-
patched while lying on the field
wounded. Lompax says the In
dians were the most rigid discipline.
After battle they took Lomprax into
the Sierra Madre Mountains, where
they buried their dead. For more
than a week the Indians deprecated

Nearly Destroyed.

SAN FRANCISCO, August "a dis
patch from Iruckee, Cal, says: "a
fire broke out last night in a dance
house on Jibboom street, and ragged
throughout the night, it is now un.
der control. Every business house
in town except three and many res
licences have been destroyed. The
logs is estimated at s350,OO0. The
remaining portion of the town was
saved with difficulty. The water
supply was short. The losers show
considerable pluck, and rebuilding
has already begun. The new town
will be of more substantial construc-
ton than that destroyed. The in
surance will probably aggregate one
third of the loss.
