Bill Cody's Story OF Custer.

William F. Cody, professionally
known as Buffalo Bill, in a conver-
sation with Philadelphia reporter ex-
pressed the opinion that Gen. Custer
had died by his own hand. His story
is as follows: In 1871 / was post guard
and scout at Fort Hays, Kans. One
evening / was detailed to guide the gen
eral and an escort from Fort Hays to
Fort Larned, q distance OF sixty-flve
miles. The animal l rode was a
mouse -colored mule, and the horse
that he always rode was a thorough
bred Kentucky. called by the indians
Whiriwind. When rode up and was
presented to him he remarked that /
had better get horse. 1t would take
something better than an old mule to
keep ahead of him. We started, how
ever, and for time had hard work
to keep up; but when my mule got his
second wind he left Clusters thorough
bred, and we were compelled to stop
and wait until the escort rode up.
After that showed him clear pair of
heels, and when we arrived at our des-
tination he acknowledged that rod0 q
pretty good animal. / met him fire.
auently after that before he killed him-
self. Yes, killed himself. The In
dians who were in the fight at Little
Big Horn say he shot himsef, and
from the Indian religion / am con-
vinced that they tell the truth. He
was the only man on the field that was
not mutilated, and an Indian will not
matilate the body of man who takes
his own life. I think Custer fought till
all his brother officers died, and no
Reno to support him, he then died by
his own hand and ended the career Of
as brave q man as ever wore spurs.

TIE desperation of the star-routers
is becoming more apparent every day.
A mysterious fire occurred Saturday
evening at Washington, in the third
story Of a building on F street, mainly
occupied as law fiices by Richard ID
Merrick, principal counsel for the gov
ernment III the star route cases. The
fire was undoubtedly incendiary, and
Mr.. McrriGk asserts that it was for the
purpose of destroying important pa
pers III the star-route cases, which were
known to be in his office. The fire
was promptly extinguished with the
loss Of few hundred dollars, but no
papers OF consequence injured. The
star-routc clique must he in desperate
straits if they have to resort to arson
to destroy the evidence of their rascal
ity.

Edmunds and COnkiing.
ASSOCIATED IN A LAW SUIT.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Sen. Ed
munds and ex-Sen. Conkling, two of
the ablest jurists who have figured in
the United States senate since the war,
appeared before the United States su-
preme court to-day as counsel on the
same side in case of unusual interest
and magnitude. The cause is that of
the county of San Mateo, Cal, vs.. the
Southern Pacific railroad company.
The action was commenced by the
county of San Mateo under the act of
the state of 1880 for the recov-
cry of state and county taxes
claimed to be due by the railway
company for the year 18S1-62. The rail
railroad company alleged in their an
swer that they had in 1861 mortgaged
their road, with its rolling stock, ETC.,
to an amount exceeding So, 900 per
mile; that the state board of equaliza-
ton, in assessing this tax as due to the
county, had failed to make any deduc-
ton on account of this mortgage, al
though such deductions were allowed
in respect to all other property taxed.
Mescrs Edmunds and Copkling ap-
peared for the railroad company, and
ez-Cnief Justice Rhodes, of California,
and the state attorney general appeared
to defend the action of the state.

A BAD CASE OF BLACKMAILING.

New YORK, Dec. 19.-An extensive

Office by the arrest of Walter F. Shib-
ly. aged 22years, residing in Brooklyn,
accountant in the law office of William
Sutphen, No. 20 Nassau street, and
Henry l.. Kipling, lawyer, No. 103
of Brooklyn. Shibly represented him.
self as an unmarried man to Sutphen
in the course of business some months
ago. Sutphen executed condition
deeds, transferring four lots in 18th
street, houses and lots in Brooklyn
and farm in West Chester,
county, in all valued at $4,000 to
him. The deeds were not recorded, it
being meant to convey the property
temporarily to Shibly for the purpose
of engaging in business, and that he
should recover or the deeds be de-
stroyed, when the business was COM
pleted. The deeds were placed in a
safe. An attractive young woman
who constantly visited Shibly, was
introduced as Miss Jennie
Brooks. On November 10th, the law
firn of Brown & Wescott, 115 Broad
way, paid Shibly $14, ,S23 in checks on
the American Exchange National
bank for money owing Sutphen. Shib-
ley had the check certified, represent
ing to Sutphen that the firm of Brown
& Wescott had no money in the bank,
and the cashier had kept the check,
refusing to certify it until money came
IN. He then went to the Office of Fisk &
Hatch, and endeavored to purchase
United States bonds, but the firm de-
clined to receive the check, not know
ing the endorsor. Shibly tried to secure
money from several other parties, but
failed. He disap oeared and has not
been seen until his arrest. When he
disappeared he took deeds for property
conveyed to him by Sutphen with him.
The following day Kiplipg called on
Sutphen and offered to procure the
deeds for consideration. Miss
Brooks also called and introduced her
self as Mrs. Walter F. Shibly wife of the
fugitive, and as such, was entitled to a
dowry right in the property. She re-
fused to sign the release or tell
where her husband was. Her husband
wanted money for the papers, and
would net give them up unless he re-
ceived it. Sutphen refused to pay any
thing and invoked the aid of the po-
lice. Both Shibly and Kriply were ar
raigned in the court of general ses-
sions, where they plead not guilty.
Bail was fixed at $4,000, and beth
prisoners sent to the tombs.

coon, which he placed in barrel cor

preserve barrel stood. One or two days
elapsed and no sucker was caught un-
til last night, when a colored man, who
had imbibed some liquid joyousness,
went to the barrel, cautiously raised
the lid and kept his eye on the propri-
etor. The cson i'll the barrel immedi-
ately seized the colored mans hand.

Groom on the Eve of His Marriage -
Carolina Village.
Hickory, n. c.. Dec. 15.-Social cir
cles in this vicinity are in q fiutter OF
excitement over the mysterious disap-
pearance of a bridegroom just when
the minister, bride and guest were wait
ing for the marriage to take place. Mr..
Andrew Miller had been long time
affianced to Miss Estella Moore, one of
the prettiest and most charming young
ladies of this place. Six O'Clock last
evening was the time fixed for the we'd
ding and all the guests were assembled,
the wedding feast set out, and the
minister standing in the middle of the
parlor ready TO perform the ceremony.
After waiting some time after the hour
fixed, the groom's best man was sent
to his residence 10 ascertain the cause
of the delay. He found the young
mans room unlocked, the wedding suit,
including gloves, lying on the bed, a
trunk open from which it was evident
supply of clothing had been taken,
and card lying on the mantel with the
words written in pencil "Gone West. "
The cause of the fight Of the bride
groom is g mystery. The situation OF
affairs is rendered more embarrassing
by the fact that an evening paper near
here, in order to get ahead of its con-
tenn poraries, anticipated the wedding
in the 6 o'clock edition, coming out
with description of toilets, etc. etc,
winding up with a description OF the
couple on the wedding tour.

ever felt here occurred. The shock
was like heavy explosion, and shook
buildings, from which people rushed
into the streets. In one building the
concussion was sufficient to extinguish
the gas inside. The buildings shook
as if some heavy object was falling,
and seemed to be above rather than
below. The shock was felt in Pittsfeld
some four minutes later than here. 1t
was also felt at Griott Falls, Mancnes-
ter and other places. The shock lasted
ten seconds.

THE Revenue Commission have been
plumiug themselves ON the liberal ad-
ditlon to the free list which they have
made i'll their reform tariff bill, bot Mr..
j. 5. Moore, of New York, shows that
they are trying to humbug congress
and the public. Their free list is of the
most bsggarly Dimensions, and does
not meet the business necessities OF the
country in any respect. With the ex-
ccphon of cloves, nutmegs, and other
spices not grown in this country, they
put nothing on the free list that now
yields the government any revenue. 1t
Is quite proper to give the American
people their cinnamon and ginger,
nutmegs and cloves, free from duty,
but, as Mr.. Moore remarks, why leave
untouched tbs duty of Is cents a
hushel on potatoes and 2l cents a
pound on rictg And, as the New York
Times we'll remarks, why, it may be
added, should free spices be regarded
as more desirable than free coal or salt,
than free jute, hemp, and flax, or than
free wooR Why should the Lake Su-
perlor monopolists have an extended
term of plunder by retaining the duty
ON copper ore and our "infant" iron
mines be farther eoddled by refusing
foreign ore place ON the free list? All
OF these articles are strictly raw materi-
ais of manufacture, and their eufran.
chisemeut belongs to the very rudi-
ments Of tariff reform. The time has
come to stop humhugging while plum
dering tbs people. Congress must deal
honestly with them on the tsriff,revis-
ion question, As the people are getting
their eyes wide open to the manner in
which they have been overreached and
swindled by the high,tariff robbers.
who have fastened on them what they
call tariff for protection, but which
is tariff for extortion. Greatest of
existing monopolies which oppress the
American people are the exorbitant
taxes on imports for the express pur-
pose of rendering dear the neccssaries
of life and enabling special classes TO
enrich themselves at the expense of
the consumer. This octopus is raking
in 1000 raillions n year of the hard
earnings of the American people.

Revenue Reduction.
AN ORGANIZED OPPOSITION TO IT


WASHINGTON, Dec. ia new ele-

to the reduction of internal revenue.
A New York association has been and
Is sending out circulars to soldiers,
asking them to write their congress
men and protest against the passage of
any law to either aboli.h or reduce the
tax on tobacco and WHISKY, or in any
way materially reducing the revenue
of the government. The ground set
for this Is that such reduction as is
proposed would In time prevent the
allowance of claims for pensions,
pounties and back pay. Congressman
are already receiving letters from sol
diers asking them TO withhold their
votes on all questions for the repeal or
the reduction of the tobacco or whisky
taxes. If soldiers generally respond it
will form most potent element of op-
position.
