Boycotting with a yenueancs.

Boycotting With a Vengeance
 LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 16.-Considerable ex- citement exists Sn the Indian country caused by threatening letters sent to prominent resi- dents warning them to leave their homes un- der penalty of assassination. Ever since two railroad, which now cross the territory, were constructed there has been trouble from the fact that both roads at once began working to have the territory opened to white settle ment by congressional legislation. The project was bitterly opposed by the bulk of the Indians, though small number advocat- ed the scheme. The latter were practically ostracised and were regarded as traitors to their race and country. The attempt of Jay Gould and the St. Louis and San Francisco road to secure the right of way for the new road through some of the nations and the an- nouncement of another attempted invasion by Payne has aroused every dormant passion and promises to lead to interneime strife. The following has been addressed to num- Der of persons residing in the Cherokee na. ton who are considered particularly obnox- ious:
 Sm-The committe of safety, consisting of loyal citizens of the Cherokee nation have had you under surveillance for some time, and have decided that you are an enemy of government, our people and interest in that you have advocated sectfonizng and aIotting country, have worked in the inter ests of the railroads and have adhered to mics by giving aid and comfort E.

A CIerRxman,s Fraak.

The Rev. MT. Sanders, who has resided in New London for the past year. has acted strangely of late. Last Thursday he called at Mir. A. c. Boardman's boat house and hired the boat Charles for two or three days fishing trip. He said that he would sail the boat up to the Northern railroad bridge. take aboard some provisions and fish ing gear, and would return to Boardman's for an anchor and cable. He did not return for the anchor, and MT. Boardman saw him sailing out of the harbor half an hour after he had taken the boat. Thursday evening, Capt. Stebbins, of the smack White Bird. saw the Charles beached at Montauk. He went ashore and discovered Mir. Sanders in the boat without provisions of any kind. He gave the minister something to eat, and, noticing his strange actions, he requested some men on Montank beach to hold him until the White Bird returned from New Lon don.- Capt Stebbins arrived here Saturday morning and notified Mir. Boardman of the whereabouts of his boat Mr Boardman in formed Mrs. Sanders of the occurrence. and the White Bird will sail for Montauk to-mor- row and bring Mir. Sanders back to this city. ---INeae London TeSeQrUn

 NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Mr. Thomas P. O'Connor, who arrived yesterday from Ire land delivered his first address in this coun. try tonight at Steinway Hall before an au- dience that crowded the building from floor to roof General P. A. Collins, of Boston, president of the Land League of America, presided, and in opening the meeting said that when the British government throws the first men of Ireland into jail the time had arrived for them to throw aside all petty feelings and unite together for one common cause. The British government, he said, had broken the law and not Parnell and his fol lowers, and the shamful act of throwing into prison ParneI and Dillon may set dynamite free. The chairman then introduced O'Con- nor, who was received with tremendous ap- plause and waving of handkerchiefs After the cheering had subsided O'Connor made 8 spirited address which was we'll received.

Railroad Accident.

On Saturday afternoon the Shore Line train, leaving New London at 3:3S for this city, while passing Giant Neck cut, not far from South Lynn, ran into a wagon, in which were Charles Huntley and his two sons. The engineer blew his whistle just be- fore entering the cut, but the Huntleys en- deavored, apparently, to cross the track in front of the train. The horse got on the track and part of the wagon. The next sec- ond the horse was struck with tremendous violence and was thrown down bank dis tance of not less than one hundred feet from where the collision occurred, and was killed instantly. The wagon was pitched down the embankment on the other side, and all of it's three occupants were injured. Mir. Huntley Who.ls about sixty years old apparently, seemed to be badly hurt internally and it was considered doubtful whether he would live
 The younger son had very bad cut on through to the skull, the back part of his head and other injuries, and the elder son was cut and bruised, the blood running down his face in stream. The train was backed as soon as possible. Physicians were sent for speedily and the train proceeded toward this city. None of the passengers knew that backed; The engineer could not see any thing either side of the crossing until he reached there and said that he did not know anything about the collision until he saw the horse roll out from under the pilot.

FOIIce HOtess Yestardav William Flannarv was arrest

Yesterday William Flannery was arrested at the corner of Nash and Eagle streets. He will have to answer to three charges in the City Court this morning as follows: Drunk enness, breach of the peace and resisting the officer.
 E. l.. Forbes, proprietor of the New Haven and Branford stage route, was muIcted of two horses on Thursday last by a cunning horse thief, who represented him. self to be John Dougherty, the city market butcher. The thief represented that he was going east for day or two, and wanted to try the horses, when, if he found them satis- factory, he would pay for them, otherwise he would pay $1 apiece each day for their use. The request was granted, and on Sat urday Mir. Forbes appeared to MT. Dough erty and inquired how he liked his horses that he purchased. He knew nothing about any purchase and a general explanation fol- lowed. The horses were taken by the thief as far as Middletown, where he was found in an intoxicated condition, and subsequently he was arrested. The horses were secured and will be returned to their proper owner, and the thief will no doubt be prosecuted.
 John McCarty, of SIP Congress avenue, was arrested yesterday for violation of the Sunday law.
 A raid was made on Catherine Geary's place on Hill street last evening, a warrant having been issued for her arrest for selling without license A party was found in the place and whiskey and lager were found on the table.

The Malley Case.
Probably the Last Week of the Hearing Before Justice Booth-A Small Number Of Witnesses RebuttaI-Future Probabilities.

Probably the Last Week of the Hearing Before Justice Booth-A Small Number Of Witnesses on RebuttaI-Future Probabilities.
 This morning at 10 o'clock the hearing in the case of State vs. Malley will be resumed at Thompson's Hall in West Haven. As is well known, the State has rested, and now all that remains previous to the finding of the Justice is the rebuttal by the State and the sur-rebuttal by the defense. From the evi- dence thus far deduced it has been hard for those who have followed the evidence to make conclusions, although it would seem that so far as the actual murder of the unfortunate girl IS concerned the predominance is in favor of the theory of suicide and not in that of murder. That the young men will be bound over there seems to be but little doubt Prominent legal gentlemen well versed in criminal law, who have been consulted in re- gard to the case, have expressed an opinion that there is not sufficient ground for binding over Walter Malley, and that no Grand Jury would ever find a true bill against him for the murder of Jennie Cramer. If the young men, or either of them, are bound over, it must be to the next term of the criminal
 
 court which meets in January, 1882; conse quently they will have to remain in jail at least two months longer before they can be brought before Grand Jury. It is thought l however, that their counsel will ask for a bail l bond, and if that is refused will go before judge of the Superior Court and make simi 1 lar request on the ground that in this case "the proof is not evident or the presumption | great" Consequently the court has the pow CT to fix the bond
 Blanche Douglass, who is still in jail, is | growing restless under her prison incarcera- tion and thinks she has not been treated right. l She ayers that she has told all she knows | about the case, and that she did this on fair | promise, as she says that if she turned | States evidence she would be released, and | the promises made to her have not been kept | in good faith. That the public will be glad when the case I is brought to close there can be no doubt, and that the same public desire to see justice I and only justice done in the case there can be no question. That the attorneys on the part of | the State have done their whole duty faith fully thus far, no one will question, and with equal truth it may be said that the attorneys for the defense have looked well to the inter ssts of their clients.

A Wrong Guess.

Deputy Peck. of the State prison, has the reputation of reading character quite aceu- rately by the looks of a man, and is seldom deceived in his estimates But some time ago he put the mark of trustworthiness on one of the prisoners, and to show his conf denee in the fellow he engaged him to work upon his farm in Litchfeld county when his term expired. The prisoner promised to be faithful and true and especially to let liquor alone. as that had been his besetting sin When his time was out the deputy bought a railroad ticket and headed him for Litchfield county, giving him minute instructions what station to get of at and how to find his farm The deputy took considerable pride in hay ing him turn out well, because he had read his character approvingly. But the truth should be told The fellow got of at the wrong station, met some acquaintances, went on 8 drunk and had not got over it when he reached the farm day or two later He worked a short time, when he went on an- other spree, and had to be turned away. He is now serving sixty days sentence in the Litch6eld jail. Tho best guessers will some times fail on the weight of a hog.-Hartford
