A Mistake Somewhere.

Tuesday evening was the date set for
the citizens meeting, to decide on what
was to be done in the way of preparing
forre-union, but as the hour approached
for assembling citizens were noticed as
being unanimously absent. Finally,
after q considerable spread of their ac-
complishments by different bell-ringing
artists, it was found eight old soldiers,
two reporters and one stranger had
assembled to attempt the task of hold
ing down the echoes in the courtroom.
The remarks passed at this stage
were not of the most compli mentary
nature.
at appears as thought the citizens
think that if soldiers want reunion

"This is ridiculous said another
irate individual. after the notice
given it is evident they don't care any
thing about it, and don't want any
reunion
This appeared to be the prevailing
feeling when the dropping spirits were
lifted in a measure by the appearance
of Mr.. Jed Barnett, who being the only
distinctive citizen present, was greeted
with round of applause.
Finally Mr.. d. Schriener made the
following motion: That this meeting
adjourn until Saturday evening at 7:30
O'Clock, and that the citizens generally
be requested to meet in conjunction
with the soldiers here. and take such
steps as are necessary for the reunion.
That unless the proper spirit is then
shown by the citizens towards that end
we will adjourn sine die and let them
take the responsibility" G. HI. Baxter
moved to amend by fixing the date for
Wednesday evening, but it was finally
settled for Thursday evening, and the
motion as so amended was carried
unanimously.
Then with three rousing cheers, in
conclusion, for Mr.. Barnett. the solitary
representative of the citizens Of Lancas-
ter present, the meeting adjourned.

Teller's Tale.

WAsHINGToN, June %. Mr.. Teller
was asked tonight whether he had
reached any conclusion with regard to
the disposition of Gen Crooks captives.
Tie said he was willing TO take the chill
dren and unmarried women and put the
former upon the reservation. His rea-
sons were: First-That the Indians
now upon the reservation, the Indian
agents and the white settlers in the sur
rounding country. did not want them
there. Secondly-Putting them upon
the reservation would practically turn
them loose, because they would only re-
main until next spring, when they would
go upon the warpath again. Thirdly
His appropriations for the support of
Indians will not allow the supporting of
400 or 500 of Crooks captives Secre-
tary Teller said also that he did not
think there would be any disagreement
between himself and the Secretary of
War as to the disposition of these Indi-
ans, and that when Gen Crook under
stood the circumstances he would not
ask to have them placed ON the reserya-
ton. The Secretary said further, while
his appropriations would not permit his
undertaking the care of the captured
hostiles, many of whom, he said, were
not American, but Mexican Indians, the
War Department had S27, 900 at its dis
posal for the support of Indian prison.
ers. He thought that the Department
should take these Indians and corral
them for awhile until they become some
what tame.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The total
of the production of bourbon whiskey in
six Kentucky districts for the ten months
ending April 30th, 1888, is 5000, 715 gal
ions, not more than one-fourth of the
two years preceding The total guam
tity of bourbon whiskey in warehouse
in Kentucky May LIST, 1888, was 3d.
524, 357 gallons. The above shows that
the amount in the bonded warehouses
has been reduced over 100000 gal
Ions. These facts taken together show
an annual consumption of $4,000, 000
gallons of Kentucky whiskey. or nearly
double what it was FIVE years ago. BY
the time the last whiskey made comes
out of bond the annual consumption OF
Kentucky whiskey can safely be put at
10000, 900 gallons.

however, had discovered, a short. time
before the explosion, that one of the

the same manner, and is also considered
to be fatally hurt. With these two ex-
ceptions, no serious injuries were re-

have been infamous. He did as much
as any man in the United States to put

and yet during the recent trial the adj
ministration used all its power to put
