assaulting her. ''If she is dead" he said

INDIAN MURDERS.
The Apaches Continue Their Depreda-
tions in the South.

NoGALEs, A. T., July 25.-It is rumored
that the Apaches have surrounded the
mining camps in the Canonen mountains
and the miners are standing guard night
and day. Indian signs have also been
seen within four miles OF this place.
Tucson, July 25.-A letter received to-
day from Professor Guzman, dated Sonora,
Mexico, July 21st, says: Four American
miners coming from the St. Helena mine
were attacked yesterday afternoon by the
Apaches. One man named GillOn WIS
killed and another wounded. The other
two succeeded in reaching one OF the COM
pany's mines, where party was immedi-
ately organized to go and bring in the body.
When they reached the spot they were sure
prised to find two dead men. The second
was recognized as General Pasxuiras Major

posed was returning home. Gillian was
buried with militarary honors, he having
been Captain in the Union army.

FOREIGN COMMENTS.
The English Press Unite in Their Praises
of Grant.

London, July 24.-The Post says: The
American republic has lost one OF its
illustrious citizens General Grant will be re-
membered as an able soldier;Iwho prevented
final severance of the great republic. 1t is
thus that he will be known to posterity
Though not Napolean or a wellington,
he handled large army and led it to vic
tory.
The Standard says: Although the death
of General Grant-was long-expected event
it is not the less deplored. We can only
share with the mourning countrymen in the
sense of the loss OF one whose career was so
notable, SO honorable to himself and SO
useful to his native land. If that was pos
sible he even rose in popularity when the
Nation saw the way he faced poverty and
ruin. Simple and modest, he was never
cast down by reverses nor elated by pros
perity. Never a great stategist, he knew
only one course-to fight. To-day from
Cape Cod to the Alaskan isles, the land will
once more resound with the fading memo
ries OF war.
The TELEGRAPH devotes two columns to a
review of General Grants military career.
Editurially it says: Yesterday the greatest
and most successful soldier the United
States has ever produced breathed his last.
In no portion OF the United States have
financial disasters, making the close OF Cen
eral Grants career, been regarded with
more sympathy and regret than In England.
Beyond all others, he was best lifted to
cone with the tremendous crisis which made
him. and when the grave closes over all
that is mortal OF Ulysses Simpson Grant, 1t
will be felt that he leaves behind him no
man cast in simpler, sincerer or more
heroic mold"

WANTED IN OREGON.
Arrest Of an Alleged Fugitive Muir
derer in Butte.

Yesterday Sheriff Sullivan received tele-
graph dispatch from the sheriff OF Pendle-
ton. Oregon, asking to look out and appre-
hend John Thomas, a negro, who was
wanted for recent murder there and who
was supposed to be in Butte. The sheriff
at once started on the hunt and during the
afternoon found party who answered the
description and is thought to be the identi-
cal man. Thomas was arrested and taken
to the county Jail where he will be held to
await identification and Il requisition.
After his arrest he was surly and moody
and declined to talk or give any satisfac-
tory account of himself He however pro-
tested that he knew nothing whatever OF
Oregon and had never killed man there or
elsewhere The prisoner is light copper
colored negro apparently about forty years
of age and OF massive build, being about
six feet tall and proportionately stout.
He had an ugly look about the face and his
appearance indicated that he could ii
needed be rather a tough customer. Thomas
has been in the city several days and after
his arrest a man told one OF the officers that
he knew Thomas and that he was hard
case and had shot or cut several men. AS
the dispatch was necessarily brief, there is
no way OF knowing when or how the alleged
murder occurred.

ANXIOUS TO CONVERT lNGERSOLL.
Christian Believers Want to Argue Wit
Him, But Willy Bob Refuses.

New YORK, July 24.-Colonel Robert E:
Ingersoll, the agnostic, is in town as counsel
in the big telegraph fight. As usual with
him when in New York, he spends an hour
or two every day in thegorgeous and garish
Stokes bar-room. His beverages at these
times are not alcoholic, and he never stands
up at the bar, but is served while loungipg
over newspaper at secluded table. He
was thus engaged when three young men
addressed him. They said that they were
a committee from the Christian Believers,
which they described as an organization OF
orthodox Protestants devoted to the bat
tling of unbelief Their special object was
to convert Ingersoll, and to that end they
had collected all his published infidelity,
studied it carefully, and prepared answers
to his arguments. They wished to arrange
a series OF conferences with him. The
Colonel replied that he lacked time for such
proceedings. The spokesman OF the COM
mittee, Robert Bradbury Hammond, a
student in the Union Theological Seminary,
appealed strongly to Ingersoll's good nature,
to his sense OF fairness, and finally to his
courage, but without avail, for he declared
positively that he could not go into the
proposed discussion.

SPORTING EVENTS.
The Oxford Crew Row Across the Chan.
nel---Racing.

LONDON, July 25.-The Oxford crew
started from Dover at 1915 O'Clock this
morning to row across the Channel to
Calais. The weather at the time OF the
start was fine, and there was dead calm.
The crew expected to reach Calais at
o'clock in the afternoon. A great crowd
witnessed the starting of the boat. At
1890 the boat was one mile out, but at
1O:45 it was making slow progress, as the
tide was causing it to drift to the eastward.
A dispatch from Calais at 2:3O O'Clock this
afternoon says that the boat has just been
sighted from there.
CALAIS, July 25.-The Oxford crew ar
rived here at PAP o'clock this afternoon.
PHALLAs WINS AGAIN.
New YORK, July 25.-About 5000 people
were present at the New York Driving Club
track to witness the great match between
the bay stallion, Phallas, owned by J. l.
Case, and the bay gelding Majolica, the
property OF Nathan Strausse. The day
WAS all that one could wish and the track
looked as smooth as billiard table. Bet
ting was 500 to $50 on Phallas. After a
little warming up on the track Ed. Bithers
sat up behind Majolica, while the veteran
driver, John Murphy, took the reins over
Phallas. On the 10 nth effort they got off
splendidly, Phallas taking the pole and
going at an easy ra te, with Majolica nearly
abreast. On the third turn the track has
a slight incline and this seemed to give
Phallas additional speed, as he flew up the
slope leaving his competitor to follow him
home, which he did five lengths behind.
Time, PIG.
The second heat was a procession, Phal-
las leading all the way home. Time, 2:1Sa.
The last heat was a repetition OF the
second only that Phallas walked home.
Time, 2:26a.

For the Sake of the Church and the
Lord---Stil1 They are
Defiant

SALT LAKE, July 25.-A long address
from President John Taylor and George
Q. Cannon, appears in the church organ
tonight. 1t reviews the history of their
coming here as settlers; reiterates the old
story OF persecutions;' makes the old
charge OF oppression here by the courts,
and the deprivation OF their rights
defends the half-masting OF the flag on the
Fourth; says zion will emerge from it's
trials pure and stronger than ever; COM
pliments the Saints upon their heroic for
bearance in enduring the insults
and outrages perpetrated by the
present willy crusaders. 1t continues:
''The conduct OF the saints under these try
ing circumstances has been eminently
proper ii the Nation can bear and put up
with such infamies as have been witnessed
IN these mountains we can. We cannot.
however. at the behest of man, lay aside
those great principles that God has COM
municated to us, nor violate those sacred
and eternal covenants which we have en-
tered into for time and eternity, 1t is ad-
mitted as a fundamental principle that
States shall make no law impairing the val
idity OF contracts. Ii this is the correct
principle concerning dollars and cents how
much more is it concerning eternal happi-
ness and the salvation of man. While we
always have disposition to render unto
Caesar things which are C;esars we feel it
infinitely more important to render
unto God things that are Gods"
We can afford to live for our religion, and
if needs be die for it, but cannot afford to
violate our covenants nor perjure our souls
before God, and we call upon the Saints as
we have done heretofore to lean upon the
Lord while passing through Affections,
which are now being SO numerically heaped
upon us by implacable and deadly foes
who are seeking to crush out from our
souls the principle OF human liberty and
place us in Il condition of serfdom and
bondage. Our hope and trust are in the
living God. and He will come to our deliv.
erance in His own due time, and will scat
ter the enemies of Israel.
They close, saying, ALTHOUGH we have
changed our office from time to time we
have been able to perform our duties. with
the exception OF public addresses, as much
as when at home; how long it shall be the
good pleasure of God, our Heavenly Father,
we shall continue in our present condition
mattereth not. We hope to always be re-
signed to His wishes and accept at His
hands all that it may be His good pleasure
to call us to endure, whether prosperity or
adSersity, freedom or Imprisonment, life or
Death"

The Santos Case.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Some time ago
the Department OF State demanded the re-
lease OF Santos, naturalized American
citizen, who was imprisoned by the Ecu
adorean Government on the charge of be-
ing connected with the revolution in that
country. No reply has yet been received
from the President OF Ecuador, and the
representative of the United States in
that country has been requested to ac-
quaint the authorities here with the reason
Of delay in acknowledging this govern
ment's request. Santos has been i'm
prisoned a number of months. His pro-
perty was seized prior to his imprison-
ment. The authorities here ask that he
be given trial. This was refused. A re-
quest for release was also refused. OF late
the government of Ecuador has apparently
ignored every request made by this govern
ment in relation to Santos.

A Banquet to Spencer.

LONDON, July 25.-A banquet was given
last evening to Earl Spencer, late Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland. Two hundred men,
bers OF the House of Commons were pres
ent. The Marquis of Harrington presided.
He proposed the health of Earl Spencer in
an eulogistic speech, in the course OF which
he commended the Earl's administra tion
OF the vice-royalty. Earl Spencer, in re-
plying, said he had tried to do his duty to
his sovereign and to his country fearlessly
in sight OF the world. He said that the
crimes act was justified, when passed, by
the presence in Ireland Of 10000 Fenians
who were aided by members OF Parliament
from England and Scotland, and by funds
from America, in resisting the laws OF the
land. John Bright, in proposing the health
OF the chairman, vindicated Earl Spencer's
policy. He said that the men who had
brought the charges against Earl Spencer
and the Irish judges were disloyal to the
crown and directly hostile to Great Britain.
They had SO far as they could, obstructed
the legislation which was intended to pre-
vent or discover and punish crime.

Kate Field on L0 Ve.
Omaha Republican,

Kate Field used to have a lecture on
love. She treated the subject from a
purely theoretical and unprejudiced stand
point. One of her illustrations was in the
nature OF a comparison between the family
circle and the heavenly bodies, in which
she likened the children revolving aronnd
their parents in love to the planets in their
revolution around the sun. A critic OF
that lecture remarked that he had noticed
children revolving around their parents,
and said they may have been inclinep
therto by love, but that it looked power
fully like trunk strap.
