THE CUSTER MASSACRE,
An Account OF the Slaughter Given by
an Indian Woman.

An Account OF the Slaughter Given by
an Indian Womnn.
Since General Custer and his COM
mand of 300 were massacred by the
braves of Sitting Bull, two or three ac-
counts have been given, each of which
purported to be correct history of
the fight. But of the particulars of
the scene there have been only meager
accounts. The st. Paul Piineer Press
publishes an interview between cor
respondent at Standing Rock Agency
and the wife of Acknowledgements, or
Spotted Horn Bull This woman is
first cousin to Sitting Bull, and the
story is yOuched for as being a true
account of the battle. After describ-
ing the advance and the retreat of Ma
jor Reno-whom she declared to be
either drunk or crazy and his men
thoroughly panic stricken-the wom-
an stated that the retreat and its con-
sequent slaughter was scarcely ended
when the blare of Clusters trumpets
told the Sioux of his approach; but
they were prepared for him. The men
quietly crossed the river, and hundreds
galloped to his rear out of range at
first but soon hemming him in constant
ly narrowing circles. The woman
mounted her pony and rode behind
her camp, where she could get good
view of the hills beyond. She saw the
troops come up and dismOunt. Each
fourth man seized the brides of three
horses besides his own. The rest de-
ployed and advanced on the run toward
the river She saw the terrible effect
of the whitening fire which greeted the
approach from the willows on the In
dians' side of the stream, and laughed
as she said: "Our people, boys and all,
had plenty of guns and ammunition to
kill the new soldiers. Those who had
run away left them behind" Slowly
trOtting north along the outskirts of
the encampments, she noted the Indians
who had crossed getting closer to the
troops. She watched the latter-those
who were left of them-retreat to
their horses and mount. She heard
the yells of her kindred and the shouts
of the whites; but soon, as the former
grew plentier and the latter fewer, she
could distinguish little save here and
there an animated cluster Of men and
horses.
Slowly her pony logged down the
stream. When she reached the Mime
COMO camp, on the extreme left, not an
hours ride, she said not one white
soldier was visible on the field. Of
horses there were plenty; these the
Indians spared. The Custer men were
soon stripped and the Indians knew
they had killed the long-haired chief,
by his buckskin coat trimmed with
beaver which they found upon him.
The Sioux lost thirty killed, and more
than twice as many wounded, the
Indians numbering five thousand in
all

A Town That is Peculiar.

In Cass county, Mo-, is a town with
nothing peculiar about it except its
name, which is Peculiar. According
to local tradition it came to receive
that singular appellation in the fol-
lowing manner: When the settlement
had become sufficiently populous to
need postoffice one of the prominent
citizens sent petition to Washington
to have postoffiee established. Inre-
ply he was asked to suggest a name
that would please the p ople, to which
he responded that :" the people were
not particular so long as the name was
peculiar." Their upon the postoffice
was christened Peculiar, and the name
has never been changed.

looking up some means to secure it, and
we think Mr.. Clinton Faucet has caught
on to about the best and most feasible
project yet, and ~ which we hope to
see carried out to fulfilment. Some time
ago Mr.. Faucet located a water right

the Teton through the bluff at the Cra-
c%on-du-nez, claiming 1000 inches. To

The River.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock
the ice began to give way from above
the bridge and continued to run all day.
1t was a very tame affair, scarcely rising
to the dignity Of the usual demeanor Of
the big muddy. No damage occurred
occurred to any Of the boats at the levee.
"A large cake q flee swung around against
the North Pacific transfer boat and an
other was crowded between the boat and
the shore. The boat is careened a little,
but not enough to cause any alarm. The
river rose slowly during the day, but is
still far from overlooking its banks.
Should the ice gorge below, it may yet
become uncomfortable. 1t is not likely,
however, that anything unusual will
occur, as the continued warm weather
has made the ice very rotten.
"A dispatch from Stevenson last even
ing says the ice has not broke at that
point yet but the river is rising. It will
likely break to-day, and tomorrow the
river at Bismarck will likely run bank
full OF ice.-1libune I1fh.

UP THE HUDSON.
Thd Pennsylvania Railroad Oompany's
Annual Press Excursion 20 New York
and West Point

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
Annual Press Excursion TO New York
and West Point.
The Pennsylvania Railroads annual com
pliHlentary excursion to New York and up
the Hudson river took place yesterday and
was unanimously voted the most enjoyable
of a that have been given.
The party numbering about 200, and in
cluding representatives of the press of Will
mington, Philadelphia and vicinity, and
theiF families, left Broad Street Station at Z
O'Clock and reached Jersey City after run
of two hours. Here the excur-
sionist were escorted aboard the
the palace steamer Richard Stockton, and
taken on a most delightful trip up the Hud-
son river, the most famous and beautiful
stream In the country. The river is SO
crowded with points of interest that the
scenery was heartily enjoyed by the excur
siouists. Fort Lee had scarce been PASSED
when the Palisades were seen. On the East
side Yonkers glistened in the sunlight.
Right above this is the point where Hendrick
Hudson, after whom the river. was named,
anch hored In 1909. Further up the white
walls of Sing Sing prison could be seen in
the distance. Then Stony Point was passed; ];
the ground on which General Steuben drilled
the Continental soldiers in 1776 was the
next object of interest. West Point with its
high bluffs soon hove in sight, and then,
abol l O'Clock the steamer turned and
started on the return trip without making
q landing.
The ride down the river was equally de-
lightiul and as an additional attraction the
steamer went around New York harbor to
Fort Hamilton, in front of Castle Garden,
where it remained for short time to afford
the excurslonists view of East River
bridge. The excursion train left Jersey
City at $50 o'clock, and arrived in Phila-
delphia at 7.45.
The affair was under the management of
Mr.. George w. Boyd, assistant general pas.
senser agent, and Mr.. George DE Haven,
manager of the advertising department of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, whose
kind attentions left nothing undone that
would tend to the pleasure or comfort of
the guests. The excursion was a grand
suceess.
The steamer Richard Stockton, owned by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, is a
mag agnifcent boat, aud has just been COM
pletely renovated and furnished In the most
costly manner. The steamer now starts on
regular, daily trips up the Hudson river as
far rs Newburgh, an excursion which, for
enjoyment and attraction, cannot be ex-
celled. Wilmington people can leave on
the $50 a. m. train, take in the stockton's
trip, and return at reasonably early hour

THE ARCHBISHOP EMBALMED.
A Description of the Interesting Process
Used by the Surgeons.
philadelphia Press.


The body of the late Archbishop Wood,
whose funeral obsequies were performed
with great solemnity at the Cathedral on
Tuesday last, was embalmed by DIR. NJ. L..
Nardyz of 748 South Ninth street, prepara-
tor to the jefferson Medical College, and
member of several prominent foreign medi-
cal societies. He was assisted by Professor
II. T. Cresson of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, and DIR. Frank Workman of the
Jefferson College.
The process employed in the case of the
late distinguished prelate, Is claimed by Dr.
Nardyz to be equal to, and in many respects
far superior to, that tmployed by the
ancients; and it is thought will stand the
test of age quite well. The numerous in
stances in witch he has been called upon to
perform the duties of like office have 80
lar proved pre- eminently successful. 1twas
by this process that he embamed the Rus
sian Prince Alexander Aristoff, who died in
Paris in 1878, and whose body is said to be
In fine state of preservation at the present
time.
Owing to the state of the weather and the
time required to make the necessary prepa-
rations for the imposing funeral ceremonies
1t was thought proper to have the Arch
bishops body embalmed. DR.. Nardyz and
his assistants were accordingly called in "a
hours after death had taken place, AMI began
the arduous task of embalming. A short
description of the method of procedure may
be briefly stated as follows The viscera were
first thoroughly cleansed with appropriate
solutions, after which all the blood was ex-
tracted from the body. The preservatiye
liquids, the preparation and composition OF
which require the greatest care, and are
known only to the Doctor and his assist
ants, were then introduced through the
aorta and made to fill every blood vessel in
entire system, thereby permeating the re.
motest portions of the body. After this the
body was carefully bandaged with linen and
covered with silieate of soda In order to ex-
elude the outer surface from contact with
the air. A few more minor details com
pleted the work.
By the extraction of the blood and the
peculiar composition of the preservative
liquids, it is claimed that the Objectionable
feature of turning black is entirely obviated
At all events the corpse, which the doctor
and his assistants say is the handsomest they
ever saw, looked as natural as life after q
lapse of six days of the most trying weather
The perfection of feature aud fine condition
OF preservation were universally admired by
the clergy.
