~ kass5s Trs.Lies.

The trouble at the Navajo agency is
attributed 70 various causes, and the
department at Washington Is not sat-
ished as to the real reasons as yet. By
some it is attributed to the appropriately
and dogmatic curse Of agent Eastman.
In behalf Of Eastman 1t is stated that
there was a ring Of traders in which
Lieut.. Bennett, who once commanded
the agency is interested, which wanted
TO control the agency. This Eastman
would not allow, and appointed new
traders, ordering the old ones away.
July % nd, secretary Kirkwood tele-
graphed Eastman as follows: '.Report-
cd here that all employees at your agen-
cy, whites and Indians, have left. Is
this truef And If SO whyp Also re-
ported here, Navajos threaten your life.
and because Of your presence, there ID
great danger of an outbreak among In
dams. Answer briefly by telegraph
and fully by mall" Eastman replied:
Navajo Agency, Aug. 4, 's1. Your
telegram received. All said reports
are untrue. White and Indian en-
ployes full, except blacks; with nc
fears. Indians peaceful and quiet but
hungry. No supplies here, Eastman
On the 26th of July, secretary Kirk
wood ordered inspector Haworth, at
that time in Kansas. to proceed I'm
mediately to the Navajo agency and
make a through Investigation Of the
troubles and report by mail. Haworth
departed for the agency July 2sth, but
no report has been made yet.

A man armed with a meat axe, a
screw.driver, an augur, a pair of PIN
GERS, a handsaw and q pair Of shears,
with a pen over his right ear. appeared
at the White House, Washington, on
Thursday, and demanded admission to
the sick chamber. The persons in at
tendance thought he was q 'crank,"
and urged him to 60 away from there;
but he explained that he was the sur
geon-editor of the New York Herald,
who has been advising and criticising
the presidents physicians, in the col
umns OF that paper. eve since the
cowardly shot was fired, and il they
would let him see the wounded chief
tain he would have the bullet out In
two seconds less than a jiffy, the laud-
able pus flowing as freely as the purling
brooklet, and the rigors everlastingly
checked. He was actually refused adj
mission, and the way he is now going
for the presidents physicians in the
columns Of the New York Herald is q
caution to old Rsculapius.

Charles Croker president OF the
Southern Pacific r. Il. was interview
ed a. San Frsneiseozyesterday in ne
gard 70 bis road. He said that the
company was laying . mile Of track
per day beyond FL Paso and that they
are grading from the other end of the
road and have graded 125 miles, and
90 miles laid west of San Antonio.
The whole track will be fastened to
completion which will give the 5. p.
line connection through to within a
few miles Of Galveston, Tex, and
about 100 miles of New Orleans where
connection with the Morgan road viii
probably be made. He thought that
the plan of consolidation between the
u. p, A. s. and S. +. and the Texas
Pacific roads recently ~telegraphed was
possible but not probable. 1.-THE plan
is really carried out the Central and
Southern Pacific lines are prepared for
such a contingency and would have
eastern connections long before the
completion of such a road into Cali
fornia. In $ of such . combination,
he said his lines would have an outfit
Of their own. Enquiring parties are
now in the field surveying a line from
Corinne, through the South pass by the
the way of Hams Fork coal fields,
thence down the Sweetwater to the
north fork Of the Platte. thence follow
ing down the Platte about 100 miles
and crossing oven to the head waters
Of the Niobrora river, thence to Yank-
ton, Dakota. The grade of such a
route would be much lighter than those
Of the Union Pacific and the road could
be constructed for about one third Of
the cost Of the latter. In case the
combination spoken of is made, this
road viii be builded.

is well known in Charlotte, was in
town and filled up pretty considerably
on the ardent. On his way home, a
colored man driving his wagon, he dis
covered moccasin snake by the road
side. He ordered his driver to stop and
get out to kill the snake. Catching his
snakeship with a strong grasp in his
right hand, about amidships, the reptile
showed vigorous fight and bit Elwood
three times on the arm. Becoming in
censed at such treatment, he asserted
with an oath that he would not be out
done as a bitist, and attempted to get
the snakes head into his own mouth
with view of returning the compli-
ment. In his attempt to do so the snake
again bit him severely on, the cheek,
which only rendered him more furious.
He finally succeeded in getting a death
grip on the snake with his teeth and ac-
tually bit off its head. Strange to say,
the snakes bites, usually considered
poisonous, had no appreciable effect up
on Elwood. Charlotte IN. o. Observer.

There is no special objection to
waving ones handkerchief from a car
window at pretty girl under an apple
tree 50 long as the train is standing still
but when it begins to move it is better
to let the girl do the waving. This
general proposition, though the terms
are somewhat different, was neatly, con-
cisely demonstrated by Mr.. G. M. Hath
away, of Cooper's Plains, Pa, whose
arm came in contact with switch spear,
causing him to faint dead. away with
pain.
