DURANGO, Col, June ga messenger
from the Dallores valley, who arrived this
afternoon, says the Indians have killed his
neighbor, named Gruthner, seriously
wounded his wife and burned his house,
barns. etc. The messenger confirms the
report that cowboys had killed six OF fam
ily of Indians. One escaped, came to the
agency. told his story and Immediately $50
warriors came to the agency and demanded
revenge. Agent StOllSteimer pacified them
by agreeing to go with twenty-five OF
their number to Fort Lewis. there to get an
escort Of soldiers and proceed to the scene
of the trouble to investigate the whole mat
ter and bring back the bodies of their
dead comrades. Accordingly the agent
and Indians passed through here
this evening en- route to Fort Lewis. An
other messenger arrived this evening, bring
ing report that a party OF Indians met
Joe Dougherty while on the way to his
home near Mitchell Springs, killed him
and carried his wife into captivity.
Capt. Perrin, who was in camp in Monte
yuma valley with three companies, sentCapt.
Dougherty with his command to the scene
of the murder. It is stated that the COM
mander of Fort Lewis, hearing of
the action of Capt. Perrin, Immediately
sent company of cavalry to intercept
Capt Daugherty, fearing he might lose his
discretion, and seek revenge for the death
OF his brother and the captivity of his wife.
There are many conflicting stories as to who
commence the troubles. The cowboys
claim the Indian; on the other hand the
Indians and their agent accuse the cowboys
of carrying out their threat to kill all
Indians found out OF the reservation.

Fairfield, Me-, June 22.--Considera-
BILE apprehension has been felt by the lum-
bermen Of Fairfield in the last few days
that they would not get their logs that
came out of the east branch of the Kenne-
bee. The logs, when two miles below In
dian pond dam, began to form jam on the
bend of the river, where the bank is from
so to 100 feet high. 1t was some time be-
fore any one knew the logs were hung up,
and jam containing $4,000, 900 logs was
formed. A large amount of powder was
deposited in the center of the jam and a
full head of water was collected above, and
at a proper moment the powder was ex-
ploded. The jam, with its IA, 900, 600 logs,
went out in body, crushing and rumblng
with noise which was heard long dis
tance. The logs were piled twenty feet
high. Many of them were standing up
right on the jam, from the place where the
jam formed to the forks. Fhe current runs
at the rate of sixteen miles an hour.

Poverty and Crime.

WHEELING, w. Va, June 22.-Great
excitement was caused yesterday morning
in the village of West Wheeling, on the
Ohio side of the river, by the attempt of a
Polish potter named Neff1er to burn the body
of his daughter in one of the kilns of his
charcoal works. He said he was too poor
to give his child other burial Early in the
morning he fired the kilayand strapped the
body to board SO that it might be pushed
into the furnace. His intentions leaked out
and soon crowd of hundred and fifty or
two hundred people gathered. The city
marshall of Bellaire was sent for, and the
body was removed from the custody of the
parents and given burial by Senator Wag-
ner and others. Last night it was reported
that Nefiier had attempted to kill his wife
with an axe, saying that he had been COM
manded by the Almighty to take her life.

NEW YORK, June pa report in the

custom house and rejecting on Collector
Robertson put political gossips and GUS
toms officers in this city to talking to-day.
The collector, although apparently little
disturbed. considered the statement too sig
nifcant to allow it to pass unnoticed. He
said: ''Since the election Of Mr. Cleveland
[ have neither hoped, expected nor desired
to be reappointed to the collectorship,
nor have I made nor allowed
to be made any effort in that
direction. Since the formation of the Re
publican party I have always given its
nominees cordial and vigorous support,
and for that reason it would be manifestly
impossible for Mr. Cleveland to reappoint
me. If were in Mr.. Cleveland's place
would give the collectorship to Democrat
whose fitness was unquestionable, and who
possessed the fullest confidence Of the
Democratic party. The collectors depart
ment was not used during the last cam
paign to the slightest extent in behalf of
Mr.. Blaine, nor against Mr.. Cleveland. Be
yond that did everything I could for Mr..
Blaine's election, and I only regret Icould
not have done more"

the measure you introduced during

want horizontal reduction. The truth is
they don't want reduction of any kind.
1 will provide in the proposed bill for about
such a reduction in amount as I provided
for in my last bill. 1t is probable that a
number OF bills for reducing the tariff will
be introduced, but personally 1 know of
no one who contemplates presenting such a
measure for consideration.

Thoman, land feel certain that neither

Take the questions to candidates for
positions in the patent Office. They
are prepared by Prof. Baird
and are of course quite technical. Then
those of the signal service have different
mathematical expressions and those for
diplomatic positions require an active
knowledge OF foreign languages. 1t is not
true as stated by the newspapers that letter
carriers and clerks are required to answer
these questions. Those propounded to them
are of a very different order and such as
have direct bearing upon their actual du-
ties"
