An Auspicious start On.
RAILROAD MEN KILLED.

An Accident on tho Alton Road Hesuitins In
Death and Injuries.
A disastrous wreck of train occurred
on the Alton road, near Oak Grove, 20
miles east of Kansas City. A construction
train was backing to Grain Valley to leave
the track clear for passenger train when
rounding a curve, it struck hand car the
men on which jumped and saved them
selves. The hand car ran under the wheels
of the caboose, throwing it off the track,
and six flat cars followed. The engine was
partly derailed. Tho men on tho fat cars
jumped, but a number were caught
in the wreck and badly crushed.
Three men were killed, eight seriously
wounded and four slightly injured. Owing
to the sparsely settled character of the
country it was difficult to obtain early
medical aid. A wrecking train was sent
and provision made for bringing the vic
Tins to Kansas. Tho sufferers, with one
exception, reside there, and are section
hands at Grain Valley. The train was
running at ordinary speed at the time of
the collision, but came upon the car before
time was given for warning. The track
and road bed were badly torn up.

TIE pending inquiry into the loss of
the Jeanette seems to he pursued in
the fashion habitual to such inquiries,
the effort being not to discover how the
disasters of the expedition occurred, but
to conceal the causes that led to them.
The inquirers seem to have private in
formation which satisfies their curiosity,
and they do not consider that their duty
requires them to make public anything
that will be disagreeable to anybody. So
far the public has an impression that the
expedition was sent out in an unfit YES.
sci with unfit supplies and an unfit
leader; and this impression is probably
correct though the investigation does
not confirm it but it is evidently not
intended to.

Car Works lsurped.

Tho car and carriage wheel works, loca.
ted at Huntingdon and operated by Blain
Brothers was almost totally destroyed by
fire. The fire originated in the paint shop.
The flame from u hand lamp ignited a
barrel of lamp black and benzine. Fred
erick Cleve, foreman of painters. was Sc
riously but not fatally burned. The shops
contained thirty-five or forty narrow
gauge box cars, all of which were de-
str0yed. Four hundred men are employ
ed at the works and two thirds of them
will be thrown out of work temporarily.
The loss is not yet known, but is fully
covered by insurance. The works will be
rebuilt Immediately and it is expected
they will be running with the full com
plement Of men in two weeks.

BRAVE BEAR HANGED.
THE END or a sAvAGE DEyPERADO.

The Indian Murderer Of Josobh johnson
Pays the Death Penalty for His
Cold -iSIooded Crime.
Matoogileke, or Brave Bear. the Indian,
was hanged in tho Jail yard in iunkton,
Oak, on Wednesday, for the murder of
Joseph johnson. white man, near Fort
Sully, on May Is, 1879. The gallows was
erected in the Jail yard. Nearly three
hundred. officials, reporters aud clergy
were admitted. Tho execution was wit
messed by large numbers Of people from
adjacent houses, though the law requires
tho execution to be private. Brave Bear
manifested NO fear, only feeling tho dis
grace by dying in that way.
The crime for which Brave Bear was
hanged was ono of cold blOOded and
atrOcious character. Joseph johnson had
long been in tho employ of the post trader
at the Cheyenne River agency, and, having
saved nearly $1,000. started in May, 1879,
for tho upper James river, more than 100
miles distant, where his mother aud
brother had made q poiDeer settlement,
taking with HIM his savings. He was
quiet aud inoffensive man, but he was des-
tined never to reach his destination His
brother, becoming uneasy at bis nOn-arri.
val and knowing that ho had started, went
to Fort Sully several days later, and, with
the assistance of parties there, made search
for the missing man. Some distance out
on tho lonely prairie they found the dead
and purifying body of Joseph johnson,
with bullet through his brain. His
pockets werc empty and the horse he had
ridden, his revolver and rifle gone. Brave
Bear was afterwards seen in possession of
q rifle and horse, which were identified as
tho property Of johnson. While steps
we're being taken for his arrest lIe fled to
the hostile camps, but was compelled to
come in when Sitting Bull surrendered,
when he was arrested and tried for the
murder. The evidence was such at the
trial as to leave no doubt of his guilt. His
own confession, made secretly to contiden
tial friends, exhibited the blood thirsty
character of the assassin, who laid in wait
for his victim. He was known to have
committed other crimes in addition to the
murder of johnson. He had few sympa-
thizers in the West. When brought into
court at the end of his tria; to receive his
sentence no looked upon the floor, sighed
little and then touching his forehead
with his finger, said ~ have brains and
intelligence, and know better than to
point a gun at white man."

THE Hoar family in Massachusetts
has been buried by the election as deeply
as the Cameron family has been here.
The election of General Butler was Oh
tained by the votes of the Republicans
of the state, who did not believe that
fellows without any very brilliant parts
should be permitted to absorb the honors
and profits Of the party upon the strength
of their long repose upon them. Buffers
election was q rebuff of the swallow
tailed Massachusetts, Republican element

party. The demolition of the Cameron's

because there is not much of an aristo.

DEvoURED BY UANNIBALs.

Fate Of q Party of C0lOmbians In u South
American Forest.
Dr. Agnozzi, papal delegrate to Colon
bia, has addressed circular to the arch
bishop and tho bishops begging them to
obtain all possible information respecting
the number and condition ofthe savages in
the interior. This measure is consequent
on massacre and cannibal feast which
has recently taken place.
A young merchant, of BarbacOas,,
named Portes, who had. engaged in a
trading enterprise in company with some
friends on tho banks of the PuthmayO,
among the virgin forest which there covers
every foo. of ground. was visited by a
number of Jevenetos Indians, who came
ostensibly to trade. They were received
we'll and were apparently satisfied, but
suddenly they attacked and killed the
COl0mbians and afterwards cooked and
ate them. The Indians have never visited
the Putumayo before and no one has ever
fallen in with them on the Amazon. Other
tribes have also made their appearance in
different places, and it is beloved that
some more powerful tribes are driving the
weaker ones from the heart of the uD-
known forest regions or that they are
voluntary emigrants, who will murder and
plunder whenever opportunity offers
The Putumayo is one of the streams
which run from the eastern slope of the
Colombian Andes and which are little
known. Indians are captured on all the
interior rivers and carried off to different
out of the way regions, where they are
compelled to work on the plantations
which have been established far away
from anything bearing even semblance
to civilization. 1t is probable the death
of Senor Portes and his friends will attact
the attention of the Colombian govern
ment to those ong-neglected regions of
the republic.

HOW THEY TOOK 1T IN THE WEST

A Lancaster Democrat In Arkansas II oarlne
OF PattlSOn'S Election.
Under date Of Little Rock, November
12, Mr.. George 8. Landiy. formerly of this
Office, writes to q friend here how the
news of Pattison's election was hailed by
himself and few others in their far-ofl
Western home. OF Georges Democratic
devotion there was never any manner Ol

for the INTEILIGENCEE flag to 20 up in
celebration of victory there was none more
ready than he to volunteer his aid in fling

how hard the wind might blow nor how
imminent the peril of being swept from

Net The Right Movement.
Ten out of the fifteen Democratic
melnbers-elect from Philadelphia TO the
lower House met yesterday and resolv-
ed that Mr.. John E.Faunce wasa lt man
for speaker, but, upon the determined
opposition Of two or three who were pre-
sent, Q pledge to support him for that
position was stricken out, and hence the
council was not q caucus and its action
was not effective. 1t is very well that it
so turned out, not that we are now pre-
pared to say Mr.. Faunce should not be
speaker or will not be speaker, but the
proposed action of some of his Philadel-
phia colleagues was premature and ILL
advised. It smacked entirely too much
OF methods which the Democratic party
must get away from. Mr.. Faunce an
nounced himself as q candidate almost
a. soon q 1t was found that his party
had q majority in the Assembly. 1t may
reasonably be presumed that the Phila'
delphia conference was summoned to
secure q solid delegation there for
such effort as could enlist for Mr..
Faunce other supporters over the
state, and had it been tied with the
proposed pledges, there would have been
at once begun huckstering with country
members for the minor Offices on
the hill, many OF which the
better judgment of the public demands
should be abolished. For this reason,
as we'll as for the fact that the sugges-
tion of Mr.. Faunce's candidacy has thus
far been purely local and personal, it is
gratifying that the caucus called to Sc
cure pledges for him failed.
Much more to the purpose would have
been a council of the Philadelphia
members-elec to inaugurate the work of
eradicating the legislative abuses which
exist at Harrisburg, and the nature Of
which he and Mr.. Furth and Mr.. Dona.
hue and Mr.. Crawford, 1t least, are well
aware of. Let them assemble and re-
solve to give their best Efforts to correct
the spoliation now going on, and to
abolish all the supernumerary offices now
attaching to the House. Such a policy
would he far greater recommendation
to Mr.. Faunce, and would give the Phil
adelphia delegation more weight than
their action yesterday.
Mr.. Bullitt, we observe, wants no
faithful officers of the House removed.
As the Philadelphia Times remarks, the
full acceptance of his proposition will
not likely prove in any way embarrass-
ing. The officials about the capitol at
Harrisburg who ought to be retained in
office are not numerous enough to inter-
fere materially with the spoils." Be-
sides, the next House organizes anew.
There is no opportunity to continue y
old officers. 1t may re. elect some who
have been there before, but the election
of better men and better Democrats in
their places is not an custer of those
who held them before, as their tenure of
Office expires with the body which elect.

A Father Seizes His Infant In Trenton and
Escapes Across the Delaware.
John Wenspenberg, of Brooklyn, ar
rived in Trenton and went to the house Of
John Truman, machinist, at No. 66
Asbury street, South Trenton. Wenspen-
berg married Truman's daughter, but the
husband and wife have been separated for
some time, both, however, living in Brook
lyn. A male child year and half old,
belonging to the couple, was placed by
tho mother some time ago in care of its
grandmother, Mrs. Truman in South
Trenton. The child was unusually bright
and was the admiration of tho entire
neighborhood. Wenspenberg, after land
ing at the Pennsylvania railroad station,
went directly to the house, walked in and
picked up his child, without anything on
its head, and started out with it hurriedly.
Mrs. Truman, who was the only one in the
house at the time, started sitter him,
shrieking for him to stop. The father
merely laughed and set off at brisk gait
for the Pennsylvania side of the river,
despite the cries of the mother in. law.
The neighbors seemed without exception
to take the fathers side in tho matter and
no attempt was made to stop him, and,
with his child, he made good his escape.
The report quickly spread over South
Trenton that child had been kidnapped.
Chief McChesner aud Officers Hartman

the facts of the case nothing was done.

An Auspicious Start on.
New York Sun.
Governor-elect PATTIsON of Pennsyl-
vania starts off auspiciously by appointing
a clergyman as his private secretary. The
officer of private secretary to q public
officer is delicate one, and requires for
its proper discharge fact, flnesse, and Dip
lomacy. The man who fills it is daily
obliged to get pretty close to the border
line between truth and its opposite. If
the Rev. Mr.. Everett discharges his
duties acceptably, as We doubt not he will
also and keeps on the right side of the line,
he will contribute much to the success of
the new reform administration.
