PARNELL'S MOTHER.
Looseness of Family Ties-The Lady's Lack
of Business Ability.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Relative to the sell.
ing of the Parnell estate near Bordentown,
N. j., World reporter says: "During the
last two years Mrs. Psrnell's intellect has
been slowly giving way under the political
strain and worriment for money. The death
of her daughter made her even more careless
Of her home than she had been before.
Having been, when young, very wealthy,
and many slipped through her hands. Mrs.
Parnell did not econonize. Half of the
time she lived in cities, and boarded at hotels.
How loose were the family ties may be seen
Parnell was at Bordsntoun she remained at
a hotel, although her mother was In the
mansion. This will explain why, during
these troubles, Charles Stewart Parnell has
would not Of course see his mother want, but
the idea of merging his fortune with hers
never entered his mind. Mrs. Parnell also
lost or expended . great deal of money in
money TO the cause, but she travelled about
the country delivering addresses at meetings.
As an instance Of what little business sbili-
ty Mrs. Parnell possessed, 1t Is only neces.
sary to recall the sale of her paintings and
furniture two years ago. The sale was not
advertised properly, and but very few peo-
pie gathered in the auctioneer's rooms,
and some Of the raFest paintings and vslua.
BILE furniture were knocked down At ridicu-
lously low figures. Mrs. Psrnell paid no
attention to the matter; she was busy with
the land league. Her spare moments are
given up to literature, and at present she is
writing . novel. She also lost much money
in Wall street trying to retrieve her lost for
tune.

BUFFETING BIG BEAR.
A Detachment of Middieton's Army Has a
Lively Encounter.

BATrLEroRD, via Winnipeg, May 81
The steamer Northwest, en- route to Ft. Pitt,
came acress James Grant aud Chss. Rossiter
In q canoe, 60 miles up the river. They left
Pitt on Thursday night with dispatches for
Middleton, the fight between Strange's force
and Big Bears band having taken place that
day. Rossiter informed your correspondent
that Big Bears location was discovered on
Wednesday and an advance made the follow
ing morning. As the whole of Strange's
troops had not yet arrived at Pitt, he could
only muster about 800 men, the force con-
sisting of two companies Of tie Winnipeg
light infantry, two companies of the Goth
battalion, aud some mounted infantry. Cap
tain Steele's police, after march of 10 miles
down the river, and three miles inland,
brought the troops to the Indian camp. The
redskins we're intrenched just over the brow
of the hill, and In order to reach them
Strange was obliged 70 cross the marshy
valley. While advancing the Indians com.
menced firing, and the troops were extended
In skirmishing order. For three hours and
half steady fire was kept up from both
sides. The troops had good cover from the
enemy. Our grenadiers did good service In
driving the Indians from their quarters, but
the number killed could not be ascertained.
Strange's loss was very small, only three
men Of the 65th being wounded, Narcotic,
of No. company fatally.
WINNIPEG, June 1.-Slrange's repulse by
Big Bear has again aroused interest In the
progress Of the Indian war. 1t Is fully ex-
pected that Middleton will have trouble with
Big Bear before the latter Is reduced. Mean.
time there is much solicitude for the well
fare of the captives In the Indian camps, a:

to. day from Medicine Hat. Several parties
Of horsestealing Indians are reported within
20 miles of that point. Two Of Stewart
mounted rangers were fred a. on Saturday
by . baud of Indians numbering $50. It II
not known what tribe the hsstiles belonged
to. Stewart's force has gone In pursuit.

A Sunspecial from Burlington, VT, says
"The determination of the Blaine partisans
to defeat Senator Edmunds In the Legisls-
turs Of 1886, has already begun to take
shape. Il is pretty generally understood
that Ex-Governor Smith, president Of the
Central Vermont Railway, Ex-Governor
Proctor, ex. Governor Stewart, Judge Pow
ers OF the Supreme Court and the venerable
Luke II. Poland will be in the field" We
thought the Republican party had seen the
result Of killing off Its great men, and would
be hereafter ready 10 exercise some practi-
cal common sense. A party that will let
such men as Conkling and Edmunds be put

quite susceptible to the relationship Of the

pride to save English blood and treasure anc

ceded to her. She has made another stride
toward the South and gains important strat.

years there will come another dispute and
the lines are now so close together that the

England prefers TO settle the issue on the

THE APACHE OUTBREAK.
About Sixty Persons Killed and Not One of the
savages Caught Yet.

DEMISG, n. NJ, May pa band Of
Apaches passed seven miles from here, head
ing for Mexico. Three companies of cavalry
and 90 scouts are on the trail Of this band,
but are several hours behind. A company Of
volunteers, we'll armed and mounted, left
here this afternoon In pursuit Of the Indians.
About 90 persons have been killed since the
outbreak.
DENVER, May pa Neps Silver City,
N. NJ, special says: The Indians are rap
idly leaving this section. They are moving
south, probably beading ter the Black
Range. No new killings are reported. Sew
enteen companies of troops are in the field,
and not one Indian has been taken In by
them. ...
Tucson, Arizona, May pa Silver City
special says: The bodies of Col. Philips
family, murdered by Apaches, have been
brought in. AL are horribly nutillated.
The daughters had been hung up alive by
meat hook stuck In the back Of the head.
and breasts cut of, and otherwise brutally
mangled. The citizans are frantic that such
outrages should be perpetrated without
check.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.--The Chroni-
sle's Deming, N. NJ, special says: Nine Of
Gerominio's band Of Indians succeeded in
crossing into Mexico. A band Of Is crossed
the Southern Pacific track o5 miles west of
this place yesterday, heading for New Mex.
leo. They followed the old trail ever which
the Indians hkvs passed on their raids into
Mexico for years. The soldiers we're camped
about seven miles from the trail for several
days, Notwithstanding they knew the Indians
would travel on the old trail TO reach Mexico,
and they could have captured or killed the
entire band. For the present the raid may
be considered over on this side Of the border.
The two bands will probably meet at Casa
Grande. The report that the Nsvajos and
Mescalos are on the war path Is unfounded.
: DENVER, May 30.--The Neps' Silver City
special says: Although the Indians have
apparently left this Immediate vicinity, many
fresh trails are discovered In the country
about here. The trails are small, indicating
that the bands are broken up, wandering
through the country, doubtless seeking :
way Of escape. Tho people are thoroughly
aroused, and It seems impossible for the
Indians 10 get back TO the reservation II
they fail 70 find way Of escape to Mexico.
The campaign viii probably last tive or
three months. Moot Of the squaws and chill
dren are believed to have gone south, while
bands Of bucks kept the attention OF the
troops elseshere. Mexican troops are gath.
ering on the border, waiting for the hostiles
TO cross.
The present Is the most bloody and bsld
raid made ln many years. The Indians are
going through veil settled sections, where
perfect Immunity from attack 10 felt.

and, showing the message to Mrs. Peters,
gained her consent, and forthwith the entire

the brightest red paint imaginable, painted

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
Satisfactory se.uem.a. Of the Afghan Dispute.

LONDON, May 30.-The Ne,os announces
this morning, on the highest authority, that
Russia's reply to England's counter. .propo-
sails was received in London yesterday. The
reply, the Neps says, involves the acceptance
Of the proposals and practically settles in q
satisfactory manner the whole question Of the
Afghan boundary. Both Marauchak and
Zul6kar remain in possession Of the Ameer.
The main features of the work Of delimits-
ton have been finally fixed end the Bound
ary Commission will settle the details. The
negotiations, according to the Ne,os, have
been conducted In the most friendly spirit
on both SIDES.
The Daily Ne,rs editorially says: Glad
stone has crowned his illustrious career BY
again rendering the country . signal service.
We must not forget, now that peace Is as
sursd, how near We came 70 war such Is
this generation has not seen. Neither mere
obstinacy nor skill In diplomacy could have
averted 1t. The task required combination
Of the highest qualities which 60 10 make up

Sheridan on the Renegade Apaches.

WASHINGTON, May 3d. General She eridan
has returned to Washington. He was at the
War Department yesterday. Excepting a
slight limp he is suffering no Inconvenience
from bis accident In California. In refer
ence to the trouble with the Apaches, Sheri-
dan thinks the hostiles can be overtaken and
punished. He does not believe these Apaches
wikAsurrender. The probable result will be,
If sSertaken by the troops, their annihila-
tIon. There is sufficient number of troops
to handle the hostiles, but the trouble is 10
find any considerable body of them together.
It is very plain, from Sheridan's converse
tion, that he don't expect the troops to parley
with the Indians If overtaken.

TEE impression has prevailed In the east,
that all cattle bound west are detained at
the Mandan stock yards, where veterinary
surgeon has psen located. This Is not the
case. All cattle In good condition are really
not detained at all, n the inspection Of their
condition II made while the animals are
feeding. When shippers are satisfied they
have healthy stock they need fear no deten-
ton. To avoid oil possible delay, 1t would
be well for shippers TO have accompanying
their shipments 4 certificate from where the
shipments we're made. Two lots OF cattle,
one in charge Of Bristol q Ferris, and the
other belonging 10 Millner Bros, Of sibley,
Iowa, were recently stopped At Msndan, but
not because or the existence Of any disease.
The first lot were found TO be In too weak
condition TO be forwarded, owing to the fact
that they ware shipped too young. The sec
ond lot were also found TO be in weak con-
ditIon, owing to the fact that when branded

OF Nillnsr Bros.' shipment, twenty two car
loads, went through 70 Billings without de-
