nugginr HI. Wife to Death.


One Of the strangest deaths on record
was that of Mrs. Carroll, during the
cyclone at Monticello, Ga, few days
ago. because of the manner in which it was
brought about. Hearing the storm ap-
preaching, Mrs. Carroll with her baby
in her arms, rushed to her husband, DR..
Carroll, who threw lis arms around her
neck. Atthe same moment the wind
blew the timbers of the house down up
on them, and crushed them to the floor,
the mother with her infant in her arms,
the husband with his arms around his
wife's neck. The timbers did not seem
to hurt her, but locked the doctors
arms so closely about her neck that he
could not remove them. He was con-
scious that he was choking her to death.
but all his efforts to throw off the tim
bers were futile. Assistance came in
two hours. but the wife was dead. The
husband felt that he was in measure
responsible for her death, and for days
was almost ravlng maniac. The babe
was also killed, but it is not known
whether by the falling timber or by be.
ing pressed to death by its mother.

The Utes Preparing for Their Annual Pic
mic.
Denver, June 9.-It is generally feared
that the southern Colorado Utes are
ready to go on the war-path, and in q
state of rebellion. Great fears are ex-
pressed by all who know the nature of
this tribe. A gentleman who arrived in
Denver Wednesday from Ignacis says
that the southern Utes Saturday night
and Sunday put on their war-paint.
There ls an agency about ten miles from
slgnacls, where, Saturday, Mexican
half-breed arrived from Durango. and re-
ported that the whites had murdered q
number of Indians between Durango
and Fort Lewis, and that locomotive
on the Denver and Rio Gaande railroad
had been out with their scalps. The In
dians at once became excited and
daubed themselves over with
the most hideous-looking paint
they had, and, arming themselves, set
out to wreak vengeance. Ignacis is only
a small station of railroad EMPLOYEES, but
at the agency there are about hundred
people. The agent did some of the most
lively talking in his life, in which he was
ably assisted by the whites to disabuse.
the minds Of the Indians of the half
breeds story. On Monday the excite
ment was still great. 1t is currently re-
ported and believed in that vicinity that
before the Indians comply with the terms
of the last treaty by removing, lively
times may be expected. A short time
ago party Of bridge.builders were sent
out and large number of armed Indians
hovered about watching their proceed
ings. On being informed of the object
of the work an Indian grimly remarked
"Do you do good" The builders left al
once. and the Indians have not allowed
them to return.

The managers of the Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway has just dispatched body
of surveyors to locate preliminary line
through the Red river valley into the
Northern Pacific county. It is under
stood that the movement is measurably
sntagonistic to the Northwestern. It has
been known in Milwaukee for some time
that the latter had already projected a
line in similar direction. The belief
therefore is that the st. Paul officials dc
not intend to allow the Northwestern tc
steal march upon them in getting into
that fertile agricultural region. The
building of line. however, has not ye,
been sanctioned.

Chicago Journal. 7th: At tile annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the CHI
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
company, held in Milwaukee on Monday
last, it was resolved to build less miles
of new road this year than last, and to
adopt a rigid rule If retrenchment and
economy in all departments. This COM
pany is now operating more miles of
road than any other corporation in the
United States, Or the world, and last
year it added to its mileage, by construc-
tion and purchase. more miles Of com.
pleted road than was ever accomplished
by any other company in the same
length Of time. So rapidly did it build
new extensions into new territories, and
in the meantime gobbling up other con.

Washington telegram, 9th: The house
to-day unanimously passed bill which is
likely to prove another surprise to those
who have taken an interest in the pension
laws. The bill is entitled "An act to
amend the pension law by increasing the
pensions of soldiers and sailors who have
lost an arm or leg in the service. But
that is not what it really is. In the text
is significant clause which includes all
those on the pension rolls, or who shall
hereafter be granted pension, "who
shall have suffered disability equal there.
to, shall be entitled to pension of SAC
per month" This clause, in the opinion
of pension Office officials, will food the
pension Office anew with very large
class of pensioners, and if as literally
construed as other laws, will take large
amount from the public treasury. The
bill was introduced by Bingham of Pen
nsylvania, and was called up and passed
at the instance Of Gov. Curtin to-day.
