No Indian Atrocities.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 16.-A special from
Tucson, Arizona, says Major Strass, of
Tucson, has just returned from Hermosilla,
Sonora, and states that while there he
made careful inquiry of both civil and
military officials concerning the reported
Apache depredations in Sonora since
Cooks return. They all told him they had
not received any information, official or
private, of single person being killed or
any depredations since Cook left Sonora.
They believe the reports are without feunda-
tion, and started for sensational purposes.

LONDON, November "A collision
between the steamers Hoilyhead and

IL o'clock. The night was mild and
fairly clear, but by some means the
Alhambra got across the track OF the
Hollyhead. Che Iatter's engines were
reversed, but it was found that the col
lision Was inevitable. The captain Of
the Hollyhead had lines thrown over
board and lowered two boats. There
was not the slightest panic on board
and all were saved of the Alham bra IS
crew, but one man was carried over
board. 1t was then discovered That
the HOllyhead was fast sinking, and
two more boats were lowered and the
passengers and crews safely embarked
except the quarternaster and a boy
who were in the forecastle. In a few
minutes the Hollyhead disappeared
and boats pulled for the Alhambra.
At 3 O'Clock in the morning the wind
fresbened and the sea increased, and
the boats were with great difficulty
kept afloat. AT s O'clock Il schooner
bore down and took all on board. The
survivors are much distressed.

severely injured, one of them it is fear

headway.
Just as Mr.. RIAL ran out into the

struck her back against the stone steps

REPLY TO MIR. GERwIG.

ED. DEMOCRAT-Please allow me the
small space in your columns to call the
attention of the many readers of your
paper to the mistake (Or rather mis-
representation, made by Mr.. John G..
Gerwig, County Commissioner, in his
reply to Taxpayer" in regard to what
stone could have been had for within
the vicinity of MapletOn, where the said
bridges were built. am undoubtedly
the party he refers to having control Of
that quarry, where the stone are that
Mr.. GerwIg claims are entirely worth
less for that purpose. This quarry is
known as the Marks quarry, and as
many of the readers of this paper have
dealt in stone at this quarry, justly
know them to be excellent stone, and
equal to any other in the surrounding
country. Now, Mr.. Gerwig says in his
reply to Taxpayer" that those stone
could not be had at any price to any
one coming in competition with my
bidding. By request of Mr.. Gerwig I
was on the ground when and where
those bridges were set. Then and there
the Commissioners rejected all stone ex-
cept the MassillOn or Dundee stone.
Now, in the name of common sense, [
appeal to any sane minded reader, how
could furnish stone that were entirely
rejected? Neither did any party ask
me for stone. So | certainly could not
refuse to let any one have stone when J
was not asked. w. DELAP.

third trial NJ. V. Jones wac acquitted in
the Criminal Court from the charge of
murder. The history of the case is
briefly as follows: In the spring of 1882,
George Grant, cOlOTed, while resisting
an arrest for larceny, killed Patrick
Jones, a policeman. A mob the same
night hanged Levi Harrington, cOlOred,
mistaking him for Grant. NJ. V. Jones,
cousin of the deceased officer, was
charged with leading the crowd which
hanged Harrington, for which he has
just been acquitted. Grant, the muir
derer, is now in Jail under sentence of
death, which has been deferred. A stay
of execution was granted by the Su-
pTeme Court.
