Trouble. 10 the Indian TERRITORY.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-A story comes from
the Indian Territory that early Tuesday
morning a party of twenty OF what are
known as Creek Light Hors.men made an
attack on the little settlement of psrtisans of
Spiochens, living ten miles from Tailsa, on
the Arkansas river, killing one OF them,
named Pawnee, and wounding two or three
others. These men had returned to their
homes from Fort Gibson By permission of
Col. Bates, who gave them pass and prom
Used them protection, sRd the attack on them
is regarded as a defiance of the military arm
of the; government. The Light Horsemen
belong to the Chicote faction of the Creeks,
and their conduct in this case Is considered
as reopeniug of the troubles between the
Chicote and Spiochen bands, snd will likely
lead 70 bitter war and bloodshed unless the
government steps in and takes prompt and
effective measures to preserve peace.

and Carpenter, Dorsey's counsel, congratulated
him as the only one of the government counsel
having the pluck to snow up in the hour Of
defeat. Ker says he was this morning in-
formed that Ingersoll had said the jury
would return a verdic. OF acquittal. He
sdded that the other indictments against
Brady would be pressed. OF course it would
be necessary for the Court TO order the setting
aside OF RserdePs plea of guilty.
HOW THE VERDICT WAS REACHED.
Information gathered from members of the
jury discloses the fact that several informal
votes were taken in addition TO those already
recorded. A vote on the question of iuno-
cence or guilt of all defendant excepting
Brady, stood nine for acauittal and three for
conviction, the latter being cast by Jurors
Harrigan, Sheriff and Green. In Brady's
case the jury stood ten TO two in favor of ac-
quit.al, the two negative votes being cast By
Harrigan and Sheriff. Of the Jurors who
voted for acquittal, Evans, Lowery, Gill and
Reshaw gave as their reason for voting in
that way that they failed to fiud any proof
of The existence of Il conspiracy. Juror
Sheriff, who at first voted for conviction, said
that in the minds of some of the Jurors there
was doubt IS to the innocence OF the de-
PENDANTS, bat that after long elaboration
the jurors felt il to be their duty 10 resolve
that doubt in favor of the defendants. He
thought if the government with all its power
in slx-months trial could mol convict a m an
ne ought 10 be acquitted. Sheriff further
said The extreme length of the trial, the large
amount OF oral testimony and documentary
evidence in the case and tue protracted srgu-
ments OF counsel had the effect to befog the
minds OF the jury, so they found it diff
cult matter TO reach any firm and fixed con-
viction.

that the trial Of the Kellogg Brady cases

APERTINENT PARAGRAPH.

Not only does the condition of public
roads reflect the character of the CivillZa.
ton Of country. but also mirrors the
character of the people for industry, in
telligence, economy and thrift. BAD roads,
like bad whisky, not only make bad NOR
ais, but like bad whisky, impose upon the
people taxes heavy, OnerOuS. and if we only
pause TO contemplate them, perfectly ap-
palling. There is perhaps no tax so use
less, SC burdenSOme, and about which
there is so much CALLING friction as the tax

ties take |. 500 to 1000 pounds, thus almost
doubling capacity. Or when l. hours are
now required to travel given distauCe

saving much valuable time. And whether
time is money or not, when rightly used it

There is not much To he said about
roads outside of the above paragraph.
1t sums up the whole matter. West
Virginians might paste it in their hats,
paste it on their door posts, on the
mile posts ofthe public highways and
have it read publically once Il month at
the front door ofthc Court house in
every county.
Bad roads are the bane OF Wrst Nir-
ginia. They are the chief drawback to
our own people and the discouragjng
feature to those who are seeking
homes. Every drummer has thrill
ing adventure to relate about Il trip
through West Virginia mud. II is gen
orally culled from vivid imagina-
zion but 1t gives our roads a reputation
all the same, and one the state does
not covet. We can better afford to
pay the price of good roads than to pay
nothing for the roads we have.

SOMEBODY HAS LIED.

The newspaper correspondents who
accompanied the President on his trip
to Florida say he was very sick. They
stick to it. They say he returned home
a sieker man than he was when he
went away.
The President said to his friends when
he alighted from the cars at Washing
ton that he twas never in better health
i'm his life" When he alighted from
his carriage at the White House he re-
peated these aSSurances-said he was in
perfect health, that he had not been
sick, that the newspapers had fabricated
the report, etc.
Somebody has lied. Who is it:
The Philadelphia Tunes sustains the
report of the correspondents, and
charges CHANpLEa with doing the
lying. 1t says;
"On his way home, H. illness suddenly
assumed somewhat alarming aspect, and
the vigilant correspondents ot the Times
and other leading journals ascerts'ned tue
facts in defiance Of the foolish efforts and
untruthful statements OF Secretary Chand.
Ter to conceal the true condition OF the
President. In point Of TACT, the symptoms
OF the President at Savannah were really
alarming for some hours, and the reports
given in these columns were strictly true.
In so far as they repeated or reflected the
natural spprehensions OF those about the
President, they were truthful, but fortu-
nately not realized. The President rapidly
recovered from his serious attack, and he
returned TO Washington much Frustrated
but not dangerously sick man.
The foolish and untruthful statements Of
Secretary Chandler, designed to conceal
the truth from the American people, were

creditable to him as n cabinet officer
But if CHANDLER did the lying, the
President backed him up. lfit was dis

the same key?

At meeting Ofthe engineers society
of Pittsburgh one day last week a paper
was read on the subject of waste of fuel
in heating processes. One would sup
pose that if econOmyin fuel is under
stood anywhere in this country it
would be in Pittsburgh, where so
enormous an amount of coal is used and
sill saving methods in manufacturing
ought to be strictly observed. And
yet il is stated that the waste of fuel
in furnaces and under steam boilers
in Allegheny county is 3 very large
item in the expense Of manu-
featuring. The number of steam boil
ers is estimated at 1900, with an
average horse. power of 80 each, making
10000 horse power for the whole. To
operate these requires one bushel OF
coal, worth cents to each horsepower,
making total of Sl,Sj0,OO0 for coal
alone. One half of this was wasted
through defective boiler arrangement,
Door firing and unnecessary friction in
steam pipes. Besides this there was
a waste of 81 ,O6S, 900 in furnaces, making
a total waste of Sl,7SS,OOO year. Too
rapid firing, the escape of heat up the
chimney, insufficient amount of linear
surface exposed to the heat, incomplete
combustion, foul boilers and clumsy
firemen make up the explanation OF
this wanton extravaganza.

Is tie English House of Lords last
evening Lord Dunraven called atten-

urged a comprehensive scheme Of emf
grafton. The Marquis of Lansdown
also favored emigration, stating there
were 100000 tenants whose holdings
were unable to support them, even if
they paid no rent.
The above is an Associated Press dis
patch from London, and it Is start
ling comment upon the state of affairs
in Ireland, which has resulted from
misrule and oppression. Here are a
quarter OF a million tenants liable to be
thrust out under the eviction laws and
suhjectedtO starvation, because they
occupy holdings which do not produce
enough to pay tine rent. And the only
remedy suggested by these generous
Britons is to ship the people whom
they have made paupers to America,
where they will at least have fair play
in their fight for subsistence.
