AT INDIAN UPRISING
Under Way in the Northwest and
Eight More Settlers Killed.
ONE THOUSAND sAyAeEs SURROUND
Battleford and General Indian War is
Looked Upon as lneyi-
table.
INDIANS JOINING THE REBELS.

WINNIPEG, MAN, April l0.-Ths tele-
graph wire to Battleford is apparently on
the ground, and when the latter is frozen q
weak current is established. By this means
word was sent from Battleford last night
that the Indians at Frog Lake had killed
eight whites. These were: J. ]. Jurp,
Indian agent; John Delaney, farm instruc-
toI; Mr.. Gowanlock and wife, Rev. Father
Toffard, Rev. Father LeMarchand, and
two men, names unknown.
Mrs, Delaney is q prisoner. W. Jurin,
nephew of the Indian agent escaped from
the Indians and made his way to Battleford
on Wednesday. He reports the fate Of the
Hudson Bay Company's agent Cameron,
as unknown. Frog Lake is about l3O
miles from Fort Pitt The reserves there are
occupied by three bands of Crees. They
number over 200. Battleford is surround
ed by one thousand indians, but no at
tack has been made on the barracks. In
dian Agent Roe has not been killed as re.
ported. Advices to the Hudson Bay Com
pany from Saddle Lake via Edmonton and
Calgary say that the Indians there have
raided the Government warehouse and gone
to join the rebels. Saddle Lake is in the
Edmonton agency, about 100 miles west Of
Frog Lake. 1t looks now like general In
dian uprising. The Hudson Bay Company
have received cipher message from the
agent at Prince Albert dated March 3lst,
saying:
"The whole population in on our hands. |
am securing the country to collect provisions
and -four and bacon at once. The Indians
are quiet except the Sioux and fifty Crees
who have joined the rebels"
A com pany has been formedi in Battleford
under command of Captain Nash, fully
armed and equipped. There is also a
Home Guard" Of 60 members. Saskatche-
wan river is now open.
The Indians on Frog Lake Reserve are
all Crees and number about 200. There
was Roman Catholic school for Indian
children at Troy Lake, which was in pros
porous condition last summer. That little
massacre could have been the work Of Frog
Indians alone does not seem altogether
probable, as they have hitherto been quiet
and we'll behaved 1t will be remembere4. /.
however, that as late as the end of last De-
cember, Big Bear, with his band of 500
South Crees, was in Port Pitt agency stirring
up the local tribes and it is not improbable
hat he may be leader in the uprising in
that locality.

A FATAL WRECK

On the II. & o. Near Connellsville-
Through Bridge-Two Killed.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa April lO.-A thrill
ing accident, which resulted fatally to two
rrainmen, occurred on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, near Connellsville, about 8
o'clock last night. East bound freight train
No. II left Connellsville promptly on time
shortly after o'clock. At Indian creek
the recent rains had greatly swollen the
creek, and the train was Stacked up to
cross over. The middle of the bridge was
reached when, as one of the crew said, he
heard a sudden crack The next instant
he entire superstructure gave way. Bridge
and train were precipitated into the water,
carrying with them the entire crew OF the
train. The locomotive, Is coke cars and
the material Of the bridge we're twisted to-
gether into a chaotic mass. Fortunately
several OF the cars we're piled up so high
that the topmost were slightly above the
water, and those of the crew who had es.
capped unipjured managed to crawl upon it
and escape drowning. Conductor Harry
h. Fuller was riding upon the engine at
tie time of the accident Before he re-
abzed his terrible danger the locomotive
nad overturned aud he was buried be-
meath it.
At the Bottom of the Creek.
His body was still beneath the wreck this
morning, and all efforts to resuce it being
lruitless. His brother, Benjamin Fuller,
was on the second car behind the engine,
The car Jumped up against the locomotive
and almost ins aatly killed him, crushing
his body terribly.
Engineer Acheson and fireman Reynolds
both made marvellous escapes. After the
warning note of the cracking tim6ers had
been heard, Acheson found himself aound4r-
ngin the water. He made a grab for a piece
of the debris and managed to climb up
on to the top Of one of the cars that had
piled up above the water. The fireman
was thrown out into the stream. He
clutched piece of car and while floating
down the stream was rescued. The other
men of the crew succeeded in escaping with
but few bruises. Not veStige of the
bridge IT mained The cars and locomotive
were so completely demolished, that they
are total loss. The loss will amount to
about $4,000. The bridge was an iron
structure about I5 feet long. 1t was sups
posed to be perfectly safe. The supposition
IS that the high stage of water caused the
middle to be partially undermined
which left the center beams but
p,orly supported. 1t was built
10 1872, and went down
on the first trip that was made upon it, by
which the contractor, John Wilhelm, was
seriously injured. Both of the men who
were killed had but recently been married.
They resided in Cumberland, Nd. Road
Master Manning had large gang OF en-
ployes at work shortly after the accident re-
pairing the damage done. Every effort is
being made to recover the body of Conduct
or Fuller. Passengers are being transferred
from the through express trains. 1t is cal
eulated to have temporary bridge erected
by Sunday evening.

HEAVY ROBBERY.

Last nights Cincinnati Enquirer says:
"A bold and successful robbery was per.
petrated at the Grand Central Passenger

W. Trahern, Of Grafton, W. Va, lost n

his money while purchasing his tickets at
that point. He was on his way to
Kansas. His money was in large leather

He remembers that as the train was pulling
into the station and the passengers were
getting up preparatory TO leaving the car
some one in the seat behind him attracted
his attention by touching him on the
shoulder, and at the same time another man
in the aisle caught hold Of the lapel Of his
coat to make him stand aside, as he thought.
1t was not until after he slighted from the
train that he discovered his loss He re-
ported it at once to the depot police, but
could give no definite description Of the
men who were near him on the train.
Shortly after o'clock three we'll known

WASHINGTON, April lO.-The returns OF
April to the Department Of Agriculture in
dicate q reduction Of over 10 per cent OF
last years area in winter wheat. The ag-
gregate shortage amounts to three million
acres. A decrease is reported in every State
except Oregon. tits % per cent in Kansas

The Present Condition of Wheat
as reported, is worse than in 1889. 1t is II

1888. In 1881, the year Of the lowest re-
cent rate of yield, the condition on April

ST. LOUIS April l0.-The crop report of
j. w. Sanborn, Secretary ofthe Missouri
State Board of Agriculture says: "The
present outlook for wheat is reported as
quite unpromising and at II yield yet the
latest return indicated improving prospects.
A decline in acreage reported to this office
last fall will be 10 per cent. less than the
average. This is an underestimate of the
actual decrease, but we will use this basis
until inquiry into next months circular
This gives an acreage of 2,lO7,296.
A decline in prospects of 20 per
cent leaves q probable yield of 944
bushels, or a total yield of l9.892,874 bush

rpg better than late sown. While the pros
poets at present are very unpromising, very
favorable conditions may improve them, but

His Holiness Suffering From Viscerat

ROME, April lO.-The Pope early yester-

his attendants feared the result. He suf-
fered from yisceral Inflammation. In the
afternoon he was much better, but 20 quote
his medical authority, this may be called a
wholly bad day for the Sovereign Pontiff."
The same must unfortunately be said Of
young Mr.. Pierrepont, who is reported as
very low tonight.
The illness from which the Pope has been
suffering is neuralgia, caused By tooth.
ache. He has been confined to his bed for
three days, and there has been some fear OF
an attack of erysipelas. This fear is now
dispelled, and his symptoms tonight are
much more favorable.
