BATTLEFORD IN DANGER.
An Announcement that the Indians viii
Attempt to Burn the Barracks.


OTTAWA. ONT, April 16.--Reports re-
ceived to-day indicate that Gen. Middle
ton is rapidly marching to seize Clarkes
crossing. Riel has crossed the Saskatche-
wan near Duck lake, and now occupies
both banks of the river. The rebel scouts
are constantly appearing and skirmish
with RiePs men is expected tomorrow.
A BattlefOrd dispatch says: "A small
party of Indian hOrsemen drove of Wylde
e. O'Rourke's cattle from rancho north
of the Saskatchewan river. There is no
prospect of following them until rein
miles north of Batueford was
burned yesterday. Other fires were
seen in different directions last
night. The devastation Of farms near
Battleford continued to-day. The Stony
Indians, who are gathered in the upper
settlement, yesterday told friendly half
breed that they would burn the barracks
and 90 south. Precautions were taken
against a surprise, but no attempt has
yet been made"
FEARS OF AN ATTACK.
Another dispatch from Battleford says:
"phe Indians crossed Battle river at
Poundmaker's reserve, and it is feared
that they will make an attack on the bar
racks JO-uAy. Inc citlIena nave resolved
that, should the Indians endeavor to enter
the town, they will make an effort to drive
them of, and protect their houses from de-
struction. No news has vet been
received from Fort Pitt. The re-
ports in the papers about the massacre
there are merely sensational rumors.
Alex. Mcdonald this morning received
telegram from his brother at Battleford,
stating that the Indians We're gathering
around In the town in small bands and
acting in a threatening manner. The
fears that Fort Pitt has fallen into the
hands Of the Indians and that all the in
habitauts have been massacred are
strengthened. The Hudson Bay Com
pany's agent, however, has no apprehen-
sions regarding its safety"

Joins His Family at Lunch-A Drive
in the Park Possible in Day or Twos
NEW YORK, April 16.-Gen. Grant
passed very quiet night, and his im-
proved condition continued this morning.
He slept we'll and naturally for seven and
a half hours nearly continuously, taking
his nourishment at longer intervals. He
felt stronger this morning and his voice
indicated it.
Senator ChafIee was one Of the earliest
callers at Gen. Grants house this morn-
ing. He left at 0:25 O'Clock. He said that
the General arose at $3.50 O'Clock, bright
aud cheerful. "If the Improvement in his
condition continues for the next four or
five days, ! do not see any reason to pre-
vent his taking a drive in the park, pro-
Vided the weather is favorable. IL is GER
tainly a most remarkable case--wOnder-
full; and it is my belief that the doctors
do not understand il. Assuredly, it has
batfed them thus far"
To the question, "DO you think he will be
able to take a trip to California as sug-
gestedW Senator Chaffee replied: 81
should not be surprised at all If in few
months he Is able to make the trip"
CHAFFEE DOUBTS IF IT is A CANCER.
The Senator afterward said that the
General had either a cancer or an ulcera-
ted sore throat. If the former was the
case he would inevitably die, and if the
latter he would recover. 1t was his own
(Chadee's) belief that the trouble was
caused by an liberated sore throat only.
Gen. Grant himself was Of this opinion,
and was almost confident that he would
ultimately recover. Chafee said as he
went away: 81 think the General will res

Gen. Grant continued to improve all
day. His throat was examined to-day by
Drs. Barker, Shrady and Douglas, and

General suddenly started down stairs and
joined the family al lunch, taking every
body by surprise. He partoOk of semi-
solid food, without difficulty, much to the
delight of all.
Gen. Grant retired at 9:30 o'clock to-
night, and between that time and mid-
night dozed in his chair, having been oe-
casiOnallY disturbed by coughing and ex-
pectoration. At II O'Clock he was quietly
sleeping. His pulse was 10, of good vol
ume, and regular. His temperature Was

MACON, GA, April l6,-In the second
league game to-day between Macon and
Chattanooga a squabble occurred in the
third inning, which broke up the game.
Macon, believing the Chattanooga team
very weak from yesterdays game, put on
a substitute battery, it being Burkalow
pitcher, and LeigtOn catcher. The con-
sequence was that their balls were un-
mercifully batted, and the visitors made
= runs in the first inning, while Macon
was shut out. In the second inning
neither club scored a run. In the third
inning Heinzman, of Macon, got first base
on grounder to left field, and stole sec

(short stop }, and the ball aud Leighton,
who was on second, running to third,
reached him about the same time.
Bentle was in the line. and
was run over by Leighton, the ball pass
ing over his head. Immediately a great
howl was raised by the Chattanoogas,
who claimed that Leighton ran over Ben
tie on purpose. Without awaiting the
decision of Umpire Burke, the entire club
left the field, and in a few minutes the
grounds, refusing to play out the game
and going to their hotel. The umpire
then accorded the game to Macon by u
score Of . to nothing. The feeling Is very
bitter against the action Of the Chatta-

grounds disappointed. Besides losing the
game, Chattanooga forfeited the guaran-

Fillmore McCravy, negro of bad
character, has been living at Ben

ago he called upon colored girl who, it
happened. was engaged to be married to
John Christian, and after abusing her,
beat her numerically over the head with
an iron skillet. Christian, as soon as he
heard il, gave it ont that me was going to

eyes, it is 'oh,' and. - you, will
kill YOU" AS McCravy said this he drew
a razor, and made toward Christian, but
the latter was too quick, and got in the
first blow. The two then elincbed, and
a desperate struggle ensuod. The men
fought like tigers. The bright blade Of
McCraYy's razor CLEANED in the sun and
sank into the face Of Christian. He
raised it again, but before he could make
a second stroke Christian drew his knife,
and ran it to the hilt into the side Of Nc
Gravy. Blood was oOzing from
both men, but still they fought.
Again McCravy raised his razor
and it came down upon Christians
left arm just above the elbow, almost
severing it. Christian fought little
longer. but from loss Of blood he grew
weak and fell to the ground saying, "Great
God, he's killed me-" McCravy closed
his razor, put it in his pocket, raised his
hat and departed.
Negroes carried Christian into the house
and sent for DR.. Suttles, but he was not
at home. DR.. Tucker was found, but
when he reached the negro he was past
medical or surgical aid, and in a short
time was dead. McCravy is still at large.

and fifth floors, which was also totally
destroyed. G.. II. Dunstol, a photographer,
was also burned out as was also the
O'Neil Wagon Company on the first floor.
About 400 hands will be thrown out Of

The Nashville Club Wins its Second vic
tory by Sheer Good Playing.
COLUMBUS, GA, April 16.-In the sec
Ond game of the series being played here
between the Nashville Americans and
Columbus, the former were again to-day
victors-the score being to 2. This sec
ond defeat is quite damper on the spir-
its of the admirers of the Columbus club.
Most everybody thought that the Ameri-
cans would go under to-day, but they
have proved to be undoubtedly a strong
club, and are especially favored in the
way Of fine batteries, only five base hits
being got Off Noss, their pitcher, to-day,
who was well supported by Hillman. The
Americans lost the toss, and went to the
bat, and by bad playing on the part of Co
lumbus, worked in three runs IN the first
inning, and one in the third.
Columbus was treated to a
whole basket of goose eggs, and
for some time it seemed as If they would
be shut out, as not man reached the
home plate until the seventh inning,
when Hamburg by hard work scored. In
the eighth inning O'Neill managed, by a
scratch, to get in another for them. The
Americans scored one in the sixth and
one in the eighth innings. The ninth re-
suited in a goose egg for both. With the
exception of the first inning the game was
very fine exhibition of ball playing.
Hamburg, the left fielder OF the home
nine, did excellent playing, putting out
nine men. Columbus is sorely disap-
pointed, and will make a desperate at
tempt to retrieve her fallen fortunes in
the game Saturday. Following is the
score by innings:
