SAN FRANCISCO, August lS.-A
special to the CAL from Fort Bowie
says: Captain Davis, of the Fourth
cavalry, reports that Lieutenant Day
struck Gcronimo's camp northwest OF
NakOYi on August 7th and killed
three bucks and Squaw Of Geroni-
mos, aged thirteen years. He cap
tured fifteen women and children,
among them being three Of Geronmo's
wives and five of his children. Gero-
nimo was wounded. Besides the chief
himself only two bucks and one
of the squaws escaped. Everything
in the camp was captured. On
July Goth Lieutenant Day ambushed a
party of four Chicahuas and killed two
Of them and captured all their horses
and supplies. A few weeks ago a Piute
Indian was killed by member Of the
WaSho tribe. at that time it was be-
lieyed the affair would certainly lead to
war between the tribes. The matter.
however, was amicsbly arranged. A
few days ago a relative Of the Piute
who was killed was beaten to death in
fight with Washo brave. The ex-
element between both tribes was high,
and sanguinary outbreak is expected
at any time.

Discrimination Against Utah.


SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, August
lS.-1hc Tribune, of this city, says {;
Bankers and mining-men here COM
plain Of the last order of the Treasury
regulating the distribution of standard
dollars. Heretofore any man could
get silver dollars delivered to any point
without freight charges by applying to
any mint i'll the United States. By
this last order all that is changed. II
bank here wants 1000 or 10000
silver dollars and sends to San Francis
co for them, be has to deposit the
amount with witch to purchase them
with the Assistant Treasurer Of the
United States Depository, upon which
a certificate Of deposit is issued, which
must be forwarded to the Treasurer of
the United States, who will, on its arri-
val. order the dollars to be forwarded
from any point he may elect at current
rates.
Interest here on $4,000 is worth
33l cents a day, and because Of the
length Of time now required to get
money here through these roundabout
channels a man who needs money finds
it cheaper to pay express charges and
receive il at once.
The discrimination is made clear by
the fact that this applies only to stand
ard dollars. Persons can get subsidiary
coin to order from the mint. The result
is quite an annoy ancc to bankers and

TOsTON. August lS.-Latc last
night Rev. ". ". Downs. pastor Of
Iowdou-Square Baptist church. and
Mrs. Fred. =. Tabor, Of 40. : Ntque
street. were arrested on a charge ire
fcrIed by the woman's husband. The
prisoners obtained bail about midnight.
To-day they appeared in the Municipal
Court. and their counsel had long
conference with Judge Adams a. to the
proF'icty Of issuing a warrant, which
resulted in the posponement Of the
action until tomorrow. The friends Of
Downs claim that the move is simply
part of plot 70 ruin him. Tabor to
day instituted divorce proceedings
against his wife on the ground Of
adultery.
Some months ago Mr.. Downs was
brought prominently before the public
by troubles disturbing his church. At
that time a number Of dcac0ns and
older members Of society, di,liking
the minister's attempts to reno
waite tie old church such was
the reason made public, asked him
to resign. He declined very forci-
bly,. and in a subsequent contest
with his own opponents tn. minister
came of victorious. The deacon, sun
day-school superintendent, and many
others left the church. New deacons
snd teachers were chosen, nearly all
very Young men, and with this young
blood in charge the church continued
its work. Downs claims that hisprose-
cution is a continuation OF the effort to
drive him from the church, and he de.
clares his innocence Of any wrong
doing.
1t is claimed on the part Of the de-
fence that Tabor was sctuated by IN
reasonable jealousy concerning his
wife and Downs, and that he once con-
fessed to the latter that there was no
foundation for his suspicious. Downs
has a wife and several children.

WASHINGTON. August 1S.-War-
rants have already been issued by the
Treasury Department for the payment
of undisputed claims against the
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans,
amounting to slSS,020. There re-
mains only about sGl,9S0 to be paid
on account Of claims, the justice of
which is admitted by the managers Of
the Exposition. The balance Of the
congressional appropriation OF 1885,

reserved for the payment OF such Of
the disputed claims as may be found
Just and equitable.
IT is learned at the Department that
there is row quite brisk movement Of
silver dollars all over the country. The
issue averages about 100000 a week
more than during The same period Of

ST. LOUIS, August ia meeting
Of the Executive Board Of the Knights
of Labor and of the committees repre-
senting locked-out men on the Wabash
road and the Knights of Labor en-
ployed on the Gould Southwest system
was held this morning. a series OF
resolutions were adopted denouncing
the action Of the Wabash officials for
attempting to break up the Knights of
Labor and for causing the arrest of
members Of the organization by United
States marshals like common felons.
Congressman W. NJ. Warner, of
Kansas City, Mo-, and General John
N. Palmer, Of Springfield, H., were
requested by resolution to defend the
imprisoned knights. to prosecute the
Wabash railroad for conspiracy. and to
move for the impeachment Of Judges
Treat, Brewer, and Krekel.
T. J. Russell, of the Gould System
Committee. says that the Wabash order
issued yesterday was preliminary to a
general order, but declined to say when
the general order would be issued or
TO give an idea Of its extent. The COM
mittee are awaiting information from
branch organizations Of the Knights of
Labor throughout the W. before re-
sorting 10 extreme measures. 1t is
probable that an order calling out men
on the Gould roads will be issued
shortly.

Moberly MO- special to the Post-Dis-
patch says: There has been no demon
stratiCn here to-day, as all the Knights
Of Labor employed here on the Wabash
road went out on June 10th, except twen-
ty-iive, who went out to-day. There
has been no trouble whatever, and the
men are in hopeful spirits.
A special from Stanberry to the POST
Dispatch says At noon to-day all the
men in the Wabash shops went out.
Everything is quiet and there is no de-
monstraiion.
CHICAGO, August lS.-lt is claimed
that the strike ordered by the Knights
of Labor on the Wabash road will have
very little effect on the working Of the |
