HAPPY NEwsBOYs.
How They Enjoyed Their Second Excur
sion to Bombay Hook.

The second annual excursion of the Morn
ing News Company to their newsboys came
off yesterday, much to the satisfaction OF a
host of little fellows who made the most OF
everything. With Bombay Hook as the OBJ
iective point, a large party boarded the
Susie A. Mccall at Fourth street wharf be-
fore o'clock in the morning, and left for
Pennsgrove amid the strains of brass band
led by Prof Ellinger. There were all sorts
of boys, both black and white,
backed by large force of elders, including
the entire staff of the NeWs and a number
of invited ladies and gentlemen. Landing
at Pennsgrove after short run, the young
sters made short cut to the beach where
they peeled off and plunged into the cool
ing stream.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the Thomas
Clyde made fast to the dock
and with yell OF delight the shrill-
toned urchins who make the streets ring
with the merits OF their wares, rushed on to
| the elower deck of the commodious steamer.
Bombay Hook was reached at 10 O'Clock
and in the hot and brain. baking sun the ex-
cursionsts filed on shore, the band OF
course leading Off with another strain.
| Once on the beach the swimming gang soon
shook themselves and in their birthday
clothes took swim number two. AT l.3O
| dinner was served and u lot of empty but
very elastic stomachs were soon filled, as
only half famished boys can fill them, with
chicken, vegetables, pie and ice cream.
When the youngsters left the "festive
board" as rural spectator described it in
tone of originality, naught remained
but few polished bones and crust
or two of bread. A brief address was
| made by Rev. W. H. Barnes, of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church of the Covenant.
At o'clock all hands willingly boarded the
Clyde again and started up stream. Franks
of all kinds, and ice cream furnished suth
cient occupstion for the boys, while the
band was an endless source of enjoyment.
Pennsgrove was reached, and soon the
Mccall received the Wilmington passengers
landing them safely at Fourth street wharf
where, with cheers for the Morning NeuS and
with tired feet, the newsboys lef@tor home
and the second annual excursion was at al
end.

The Indian Question,

WASHINGTON, July S.-At conference
Saturday between Secretaries Teller, Lin
coin, General Crook and and Mr.. Price,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, it was
agreed that the Apache Indians lately cap
tured by General Crook, and others that
may be captured, shall be kept under the
control OF the War Department on the San
Carlos reservation until further orders, the
War Department to be entrusted with the
entire police control of all the Indians on
the reservation. ID an interview with Gen.
Crook he was asked If he believed 1t prac-
ticable to convert the savage warrior
into peaceable and self-sustaining
citizen. He replied that he "knew 1t was.
The Indian himself knows it is to his inter
est to leave the warpath and take up the
peaceful pursuits of the white man. In
nearly every instance the Indian is forced
upon the warpath, and we shall always have
trouble with him until the government
adopts a settled and fixed policy. Whatever
is done toward civiliziug the Indian must be
done gradually, and it is not reasonable tic
suppose that he can be converted into a
farmer in few months" Gen. Crook has
gone to Oakland, Md, where he will spend
a few days and then proceed to Arizona.

home team succeeded In making
three runs. This ended the run get

total of ten base hits they scattered them SO
that the hits availed but little. In the sec
ond inning the Harrisburg scored their first
two runs. Smith took his base on balls; Say
sent him to second by hit and another hit
by Miller sent them both home. The score
remained this way until the sixth inning

THE GRAND LAKE TRAGEDY
Particulars of the Affair Dean, th

Particular of the Affair Dean, the
wounded Man, StIn Alive.
DENVER, July S.-From the multitu le OF
conflicting reports constantly being received
here concerning the Grand county tragedy
it is difficult to get at the real facts. The
report, however, that body oi 20 armed
men had left Georgetown for the avowed
purpose of aVeuging the death OF the victims
is entirely without foundation. Texas
Charley, who left the Hot Sulphur Springs
with Frederick Dean for Grand Lake, on
Wednesday, and returned on Thursday, tells
the following story of the fight, which is
deemed authentic: Barne, Day, E. P.
Webber and d. j. Dean left Mrs. Young's
boarding house for town, and when
about 25 PAGES from the house
and passing place noted for
its pines and rocks, Webber walking 80
steps behind Dean an Day, four masked
men jumped out from behind the rocks and
pines and shot Webber in the back just
above the hips. The ball passed through
the body. Webber cried out 81 am shot,"
and ran toward Day and Dean and fell be
fore them. The leader OF the masked party
man named Mills, then sprang upon Dean
knocking him down and pounding him
over the head with guu. Day then drew
revolver and shot Mills behind the ear, the
powder from the pistol burning his hair.
Mills fell on top of Dean. As soon as Day
shot the man he ran back toward Mrs.
| Young's ice house. Some one of
| the masked men came up behind Day
when the latter shot at and, it is believed,
wounded him. At that moment a
shot from behind struck Day, the ball pass
ing through his heart. He ran fifteen steps
and fell dead in the path. Webber died
about midnight. Webber's and Days
bodies were taken to Webber's ranch, from
which place Days body was conveyed to
the Springs, where it will be buried. ills
will be buried at Grand Lake. Dean is al
| Grand Lake alive at last accounts. G.
Martin and William Redman, supposed to
| be of the attacking party, have thus far
eluded arreet. The latter is beyond doubt
dangerously wounded. Sheriff Razor ol
Grand county, is at Grand Lake, and i'm
| portant arrests are loked for. While thu
whole county is intensely excited, no vic
| lence is anticipated.
