intent to kill some enc. Killing BY
duel is murder, because it is deliber-
ate. The possession Of .sound men,
DRY and discretion is considered by
the law necessary to the crime Of
murder, so that no child, lunatic or
idiot can be punished as murderer.
The only instance where the proof
Of malice is not required to consti-
tute the act Of murder, is when the
killing is done in commission Of .
felony, a burglary or robbery. If !
number of persons should conspirc
to commit an unlawful act, in
the execution of which murder is
committed, they are all held guilty
Of murder. II several persons oon-
spirs to bring about the death ofany
one, all are held guilty, though only
one commits the deed. But il one
was compelled by threats Of others
against his life to take part in such
act Of conspiracy, the proof Of such
compulsion would free him from the
charge of murder.
Manslaughter is unlawful homicide
without the condition Of malice. 1t
is either voluntary, where there was
an intent to oommss.. !!:n.jinry, OF invol.
untary where there was no such in
tent. The killing of another in the
heat Of passion, or under great i'm
mediate provocatiou, is manslaught-
er. To cause the death of another
through gross negligence, as when q
physician or apothecary gives the
wrong medicine to sick person, or
when through carelessness of some
one employed on railroad or
steamer, an accident occurs, causing
loss of life, is usually accounted man
slaughter. The gradations of these
crimes differ in different states.
Thus in some states murdcris diyid-
ed into degrees, and only murder in
the first degree ispunished by death.
Generally deliberate, malicious
murder and murder committed in the
preparation of some other infamous
crime is held to be murder in the
first degree, while all other murder
is classed in the second degree, al
though sometimes the "first degree"
is of wider application. Manslaugh-
ter includes SO many grades of the
crime of homicide that it has been
by the legislatures of some States
divided into several degrees, to each
of which term Of Imprisonment, OF
greater or less length, has been aflix-
ed. In other States the courts are
left to define the degree of crime and
apportion the punishment.

LEGAL DEFINITION OF THE TWO CRIMES.
Murder is defined as the killing of

Guilty in deciding whether a killing is

with GOODNESS and bravery, but they were
poorly armed. Many squaws took part in the
fight and behaved equally well with the
braves. Although exhausted after the long
march. Col Otter's column fought steadily
for seven hours, by which time the Indiana
seemed to have had enough and retired for .
short distance. Col. Otter took advantage OF
this to draw his men back for rest and re-
freshments. The Indians do not deem them
selves defeated. 1t is now believed that the
first blow which will end in a long and bloody
Indian war has been struck. Poundmaker
is one of the most restless chiefs in the North
west He has always been source of trou-
BILE to the government, but was borne with
because of the large number Of followers he
had. Poundmaker was the cause of the frst
outrages in the present difficulties, and to his
door may be land the plan of the entie Indian
uprising.
BArrLEroRp, Nav 6.
Further details Of the battle between Otter's
force and Poundmskers Indians show favor
ably for Otter. The Indians used muskets,
war clubs, spears, bows and arrows, and wea-
pons of every conceivable kind. Otter's men
kept well under cover Of the bush and from
an intrenched position poured deadly volleys
of bullets into the redskins, who fell in scores
all around Fully 100 are known 10 have
more are wounded. Otter's loss is killed
and eighteen wounded. The troops burned
Me buildings on the reserve before leaving.
No one has any doubt now that a bloody In
dian war will follow.
The Gu Appelle Indians, who Yesterday
raided and sacked number of settlers
houses, and today are reported to have risen
and left the reserve.
Crowfoot chief of the Blackfce', is related
to Poundmaker and will, it is sail, join him
in battle against the whites, The Dominion
government and Col Otter are blamed for
not securing the ransom Of Mclean and oth-
er white captves Of the Indians before pre-
cipitating matters. They probably will all
be murdered il they have not already been.
Great alarm is felt here in consequence.

SEARCHING FOR BODIES.
Twelve Victims of the Recent Fire Un.
earthed from the Heap of Debris, Only
One of Which Can be RecogSized-Ten
Persons ct UnaccOunted For.

New YORK, May 6.
scene of woeful disaster was disClos ed
this morning at the smoking ruins of vester-
days terrible holocaust in Brooklyn. Thous-
ands of people stood all night ON the side
walks opposite the burned and fallen build
ings.
The fire lines of yesterday were broken
last night and the crowd pressed up to the
very edge of the debris which covered the
street. The firemen who worked down among
the debris. in the interior of the buildings,
said they could smell the sickening odnr of
burning human flesh, and occasionally when
the wind blew in that direction, the crowd
standing on State street could distinctly de-
tect some horrible smell.
Enormous piles of broken and burned brick
covered State street in front of the ruins, and
on Columbia Place heap of charred beams
and fallen tin roCf, mixed with other debris,
made the passage impossible for wagons.
This morning clouds of steam and smoke
arose from the interior of the burned build
ings.
One additional body, that of Edward But
Ter. 81 Atlantic Avenue, was recovered this
morning. 1t was crushed out of shape by a
mass of masonry, and was blackened and
charred almost out of semblance to human
form. 1t was identified by some false teeth
anu the Cnarreu remnant OF vest. IL Is al
most certain that 27 bodies are burned in the
ruins. The work of searching for them is
being carried on under direction of the board
of city works.
Frank W. Miller, house mover, who was
arrested and locked up last night on the
charge of being accessory to the disaster, was
arraigned before Justice Massey early this
morning. After hearing the charge against
him and inquiriDg into the circumstances,
the Judge discharged him.
This afternoon two other bodies were found
in the ruins, at the rear of No. So, Atlantic
Avenue. They were unrecognizable and
were sent to the morgue.
Up to p. NJ, nine bodies have been re-
covered from the RUNS today, making II in
all. Only one has been positively identified
1t is that of Edward Butler. The others are
so badly burned that recognition is impossi-
Bile.
Many of those reported missing yesterday
have turned up all right, and only 10 now
remain unaccounted for.

There was intense excitement in the House
last night when the intelligence Of Col Otter's
battle with the Indians was made known.
The debate on the franchise bill was in pro-

that prevailed, it was found to be impossible
to proceed with business and Sir Hector
LoDgevin moved an adjournment which was
carried.

Gen. Grant slept with but few wakings

The glandular swelling at the angle of the

ing the St. Lawrence, except Victoria bridge
at Montreal. 1t will be 1900 feet in length
and to be constructed at Goose Neck Island,
about 81 miles below Ogdensburg. 1t will
contain two draws, on each side of the island.
From this point the line runs direct to Cam
ton, st. Lawrence county, and from there
follows the old New York & Schenectady
railroad survey, straight through the Adiron-

dian company are to construct their part Of
the road to Goose Neck Island and the re-
