The MarkIe Failure.

PITTsBURG, March 27.-The failure of

assets close to $1,000 Mr.. Krider.
chief bOokkeeper, followed Captain
Markle to Chicago by request of
the latter's brother, and succeeded
without much difficulty ~%h persuad-
ing him to make an ASSIGNMENT.
Mr.. Markle offered no explanation of
his conduct beyond stating that he was
tired and wanted rest. He had been drink
ing and was still under the influence of
liquor. He made no offer to return the
money, although acquainted with the
fact that his action had ruined the firm.
AS the money is his own it cannot be ta-
ken from him in any legal way, and for
that reason no proceedings will be insti-
tuted against him. As near as can be
learned, he took with him $50, 900 of the
firms money.

MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.
Captive Indians BarbarOusly Disposed
of bN White Cantnrs


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March PA special
dispatch from Muskogee, Indian Territory,
says: general Porter has disbanded his
forces, and they have gone home with the
exception of few scouts, leaving the
United States to capturej Spieche and his
men. At last accounts they had not yet
arrived at his camp, fifteen miles west of
the Sac and Fox agency. No doubt he
will surrender to them without resistance,
as he would have done to the Creeks had
he not been afraid that he would have
been ill-treated.
Sleeping Rabbit was killed while trying
to escape last Wednesday. A detach-
ment of Gen. Thorp's troops discovered
some OF SPEECHES scouts and gave chase.
Capturing one they questioned him as to
SPEECHES whereabouts and his forces,
but as he would tell nothing they took
him out and shot him dead. There are
rumOrs here of more killing on the same
plan, but there is nothing authentic.
News reached here last night of another
killing near Eufaula. Last night about
twenty Chicote men left that place and
discovered a Spieche man named Echocty
Hargee, and without more ado riddled him
with bullets

The Old Dominion Becomes Disabled
at Sea and is TOwed to Port.
NEW YORK, March 27.-The steamship
Old Dominion, of the Old Dominion line,
was tOwed to her dock last evening disa-
bled. Captain Walker reports that he
sailed from Norfolk on Saturday evening.
The weather was fine and all went
well until about o'clock Sunday
morning, swhen the steamship was
off Fenwick's Island. A shock
was then suddenly felt throughout
the vessel. Upon examination it was
found that the centre pin of the walking
beam had broken. The machinery was
now useless, and as the spars of the Old
Dominion are quite small, but very little
canvas could be spread. The sea was
smooth and the steamer did not roll badly.
There were twenty-five cabin passengers
ON board. Shortly after the machine
ry had become disabled the steam
er Canada, bound to Baltimore from
one of the New England ports,
was sighted, and a signal of distress
was shown. The Canada approached.
and her Master agreed to tow the disabled
Old Dominion into this port. Boats were
lowered, and hawser passed between the
two vessels. The Canada then started
up, and the weather continuing fine she
tOwed the Old Dominion steady until
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. when Sandy
Hook was reached. Tugs then took hold
OF the disabled vessel and brought her to
her dock

A Brave Reporters Escapade.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 27.-At
late hour last night W. G. Woodward was
arrested on a telegram from the Chief of
Police of st. Louis, saying that Woodward
was wanted by the Federal authorities on
a charge of passing gilded nickels for five
dollar gold pieces. While being conveyed
to Jail Woodward Knocked down two
policemen and ran away. He was fired
at, and was caught at the end of the
block by two other policemen, who were
attracted by the firing. The ST. Louis
authorities were notified of his arrest,
and replied that they would send 4
requisitiOn. Woodward is a newspaper
reporter, was formerly employed on st.
Louis papers, and few weeks ago was
engaged in similar capacity in this city.

More Profits for RetaiIers.

CINCINNATI, March 27.-The price of
whisky was lowered two cents to-day bv
order of the manager of the whisky pool.
The action was accompanied by a rumor
OF dissolution of the pool, but President
Miller says that there is no cause for trou-
bic, that the pool is as strong now as ever,
and that the disastrous failures which
have occurred of late, together with the
generalization in Kentucky, make the
existence of the pool more important than
ever. 1t is the only safety of the business
so long as cattle are in the stables. He
attributes the decline to the fall in corn.
and says that he has thought 81 IA too
high for some time. The pool leaves the
price of spirits and other goods subject to
such fluctuations as the manufacturers

The Work Progressing but No More

BRAIDwOOD, March 27.-There has
been no change in the situation at the
Diamond shaft since last night. Two
forces of men are at work in the mine, one
force clearing the track in the main road
way, and the other in trying to make an
entrance over or through the Obstruc-
tiOns which block the way at
tho farthest point explored. The
officials of the mine state that it is
barely possible that more bodies will be
found tonight. The objective point of the
search is a large fall of rock about one
hundred and ten yards from the main
shaft. At this place were found most of
the bodies taken out yesterday. 1t is
Thought that a number of the victims are
under this mass Of debris. The eXplOra-
tiOns have extended four hundred and
twenty-five yards in one direction from
the main shaft, and five hundred and fifty

water still remains in the bottom of the
