savage Vengeance.
winnsmucca Silver s.ate.


A bad Indian, known as Typo Frank
had been committing depredations Tor
wears, for which other Indians were
blamed. He had succeeded in making
the tribe believe that bullet would
not enter his flesh. Annoyed at his
acts, for which they were blamed, ana
n mortal terror of themselves, the In
dams determined to get rid OF HIM.
The Eureka Sentinel says they held
council on Ruby Hill, about three
weeks ago, to devise means to accom-
plish his death. The council selected
four of their cunningest braves, who
were sworn to HINT him down and
take his life. These four started out
on their mission in spring wagon,
one of their number being "Wagon
Charley" and about two weeks ago
came upon their man in the mel hbor-
hood of Buffers ranch, II or l5 miles
from Eureka, at the head Of Antelope
Valley. They proposed to take hunt
ing trip into the mountains, and invi
ted Frank to go with then. He sus-
pectcd nothing, and fell right
into the trap. After hunting all day
the party of five built camp fire, and
were making preparation to broil
their game, when one of the avengers
grabbed Frank by the hair as he sat
near the fire, and pulled him over on
his back. The others who were wait
ing for the signal, jumped on him, and
while three Of them held him fast, the
fourth man, with hunting knife, sew
cred his head completely from his body.
They did not undertake to shoot him,
being still under the superstitious
spell that he could not be killed that
way. After they had thus murdered
their victim they built large fire OF
logs. and putting the headess trunk
and head theron, watched about the
fire with grim satisfaction until they
had been entirely consumed. After
this act of bloody and cowardly assas-
sination, the four avengers came to
| Joe. Allison's ranch, where they met a
party of Indians Of their own tribe,
and with great deal OF ceremony
went through the process of washing
the murdered mans blood from their
hands. Franks father and squaw
were in the neighborhood when he
was killed. The former seemed I'M
moved by the tragedy. The latter shed
a few tears, but within "a hours had
ceased to evince any signs of grief
whatever.

QUITE a sensation was created at
Harrisburg on Friday last, by the
resignation of Senators Upperman
and Arnholt of Allegheny county,
and the rumor that Senators Nc
Neil of the same county and Boggs
of Cambria, would follow their ex-
ample. 1t turns out that the resig-
nation of the Allegheny Senators is
conditional on the further action of
the caucus regarding pay. They
claim-and with a show of Justice
that the resolution to receive pay for
only such days as the Senate was in
session, and the time spent in going
to and coming from Harrisburg, is
unfair to them, and will place them
in a false position before the public,
because, while Senators from Phila-
delphia and counties east of and
around the capital, can leave their
homes in the morning, attend the
sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays,
and return the same day. they were
compelled to remain at Harrisburg,
or spend four days of the week going
and returning, and that when they
come to be paid, the contrast be-
tween the pay of the Eastern Sena.
tors-two days a week-and their
pay for six days, would give rise to
criticism immensely to their disad
vantage. While we admit the force
of this position, at the same time we
insist that duty to the party that
elected them, should constrain those
gentlemen-and we sincerely hope
it will-to reconsider their action
and not abandon their seats, and
thus endanger Republican suprema-
cy in the Senate, in this crisis of the
States history. 1t was mistake OF
this kind, on the part of Senators
Conkling and Platt, that caused
them to be retired from politics by
the Republicans of New York.

A Stone Bridge Over the Missippi.

MINNEAPOLIS, November H.
The first and only stone bridge across
the Mississippi was completed to
day. 1t is the st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Manitoba Railway viaduct,
spanning the river just below the
falls of St. Anthony. 1t is a massive
stone structure, stretching to the
east across the river, curving at first
slightly to the left in a graceful sweep
and then running at right angles to
the stream directly to the east side
landing, the whole course being q
100 feet. The upper surface of the
bridge presents to the view a smooth
stone roadway carrying two, tracks
four lines of of steel rails and walled
in on either side by heavy blocks OF
stone high enough and strong enough
to prevent a train from leaving the
bridge, even should it be thrown
from the rail. The viaduct crosses
the river with twenty-three arches
and sixteen spans of eight feet each.
The material is granite and magne-
sia limestone. The width 2S feet
over all, and the height from the
springing point of the arches to the
top is 80 feet 6 inches. One caisson
required six month works before
stone laying could begin. Two hun
dred men have been empleyed on
the bridge and three lives have been
lost in its construction. The cost
was $780, 900. The bridge was built
for passenger traffic and is to be used
by the Manitoba, the Northern Pa
cific. the Omaha and the St. Louis
lines, and possibly by the Milwaukee.
The possibility of running at full
speed ever it, will result in reducing
the time between Minneapolis and
st. Paul from thirty to twenty min.

THE contest for Speaker of the
House is now at white heat in Wash
ington. The friends of Carlisle OF
Kentucky, Cox of New York, and
Randall of this State, each claim the
success of their favorite. Carlisle
and Cox are both being urged, on
the ground of their hostility to a
protective tariff, and the editor OF
the Louisville Courier Journal has
made a pilgrimage to New York foI
the purpose of addressing a free
trade meeting in behalf of Mr.. Car
Isle, and insultingly says: Let
Pennsylvania go to the devil-she
has had her day the Democrats dc
not need her in 1884, and she is a
Republican State anyhow" The
Solid South furnishes the Democrat
ic majority in the coming Congress
and will control the legislation OF
this winter, and nothing but policy
looking to the Presidential election
of next year, will prevent it from
electing Carlisle Speaker, and legis
lating against the industrial inter
ests of the Northern States. Ran
dall's election will possibly defer the
evil day until after the next election,
when, il the Democrats are success
ful, the manufacturers and artisans OF
the North, may expect a hand to
hand struggle with the cheap labol
Of Europe.

The Paradise coal mine, one mile
North Of Duquoine, is flooded to the
depth of a foot or two and more
than a mile of the railroad track
running from the mine to the Illi-

The streets were flooded and the

places so deep that the people can
not leave their houses.
The rainfall extended over large
portion of Southern Illinois.
Streams in the vicinity of Mount
Vernon rose over their banks, and
crops in the lowlands were greatly
damaged. Trains on the Louisville

delayed by washouts, and two or
three Of them have stopped entirely.
Fears are felt for party of duck
