Mexico.
A Large Number af Dead Bodies, Horri-
bly, Mutilated, round on the Trail ofthe
Apaches.

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, June 5.-Never have
the Indians on their bloody raids come 30
near the city. .lThe first news of the'proxim-
ty Of the Indians was received on Wednes-
day of last week, when a boy, riding a'horse
white with foam, dashed into town from
Welty's Ranch, on Bear Creek. He brought
word that hostile Indians were In the hills;
that an attack on the ranch in which were
gathered many women and children, was
expected, and that help was needed. A
volunteer company of thirty five men was
organized and went to the res
cue. ALI the families within a
radius of seven miles were collected there
except one. party set off to bring them
In, while two other parties started for a
water hole in the hills, where they ex-
had fed. Returning to the ranch, a larger
party was organized to go to Juniper
Springs, but the Indians had fled
from that Fspot also. Scouts spent
two hours in searching for the trail, which
led to Little Walnut Greek. ALONG this
witnessed. Dead bodies, frightfully mutt
lated, and naked, were found at short inter-
walls. The houses were pillaged and
clothing and household articles were scat
tered everywhere. At William Ogden's
Eve dead bodies, all scalped, lay in a pool
ragged and their breasts cut off. A five
year-old girl had both hands cut off. Fol-
lowing the trail over the hills, Gomez ranch
was reached. A number of children were
gathered there. They had escaped death
by hiding. Their parents, living in the
vicinity, had all been killed. Six miles
further on, at the house of
were found. Mrs. Marquese argue 'Si and
her seven -year-old daughter had both suf-
fered at the hands of the Indians before
being killed. The bodies were slashed with
Knives, and presented sickening specta-
Gle. One of the heroic deeds that occur on
such occasions was performed by little
Willie Carpenter. The parents were some
distance from the house when the Indians
appeared. Willie and his sister were play
ing in the yard. The boy caught up his
little sister and slipped into the
weeds, He crawled long distance,
and finally reached this city, having
carried his sister five miles on his back.
The parents were wild with joy to find
their children, whom they supposed the
Indians had carried off. The boy who
brought the news to town had narrow
escape. At one time he found himself
within a few hundred yards of the Indians.
He dismounted, and hid in pond of water
among the weeds for nearly an hour, until
they had passed. Then he again mounted,
and rode in.

Fiqht with Biz Bear.

FoRr P1r, June 4.-Captain Steele, with
seventy mounted scouts and police, had an
engagement with Big Bear at Two Lakes,
fifty miles southeast of here, yesterday.
He came upon the Indians at nine O'Clock
in the morning as they were striking
camp. He Immediately attacked them.
Finding their front too strong, he ex-
ecuted clever flank movement, taking
the Indians in the rear, and driving
them in disorder across a small creek
where he was unable to follow on account
of his small force. The Indians numbered
fully two hundred and fifty. He saw no
signs of prisoners during the fight. Steele
sent interpreter Mckee with flag of truce.
He advanced, but was fired on. He got
near enough to be heard, and called out to
Big Bear in Indian, who replied indistinctly.
Mckee said: "If you will deliver our
people, we will cease firing" The Indian
replied: "We intend to clean you out"
Steele's loss was three wounded.

BURSTING of a Reservoir.

LoNGMoNT, COL, June 3.-At noon to-
day the Beaver Park reservoir, in South
Storain canon, burst, causing great dam
age in the surrounding country. A torrent
estimated to be one hundred and twenty
feet high rushed down the canon, carrying
away bridges, houses, barns and everything
which obstructed its path, and flooding adj
jacent country. So far as learned no lives
are lost, but the damage to crops and
meadows along the lowlands is very great.
The reservoir, an immense affair covering
many acres, supplied water for the high
land ditch, which traverses large section
of country adjacent to the mountains.

A Fortunate Catch.
Howell Times.1

A singular incident occurred on East
Merrimac street last evening. AS young
man was going home from work he CHANGED
to look up as he was passing what is known
as the Arcade Building, near the Belvedere
end of the Concord River. just as he raised
his eyes he saw a child, perhaps three
years old, falling from a second STORY win
dow above his head. With rare presence
of mind, instead of lodging to escape being
knocked down, he stood his ground, and,
extending his arms, dexterously caught the
falling baby and restored it unharmed to
its frightened parents. Had the child fallen
a minute earlier or later it must have been
seriously injured.

size was seen near midnight
last night, moving in q southwesterly di-
rection. The sky was brilliantly illuminat

AN UNEXPECTED BETRAYAL
The Late Diatribe of Miss Dodge In -ths
"North American Review


Something must have occurred to
sour the gifted Gail Hamilton. Hereto
fore the stanch, persistent friend of her
relative. the late Republican candidate
for the Presidency, she has not only
abandoned him, but goes so far as to
charge upon him the Republican defeat
of November last In her article on
prohibition in Politics." in the June
North american, she speaks deliberately
and with a full apparent consciousness
of the weight her words carry, of the
Republican party as 1.-THE noblest party
ever developed by free institutions for
the defense of free institutions, and
never nobler than now in its temporary
defeat by an unexpected betrayal"
There is undoubtedly some measure
of truth in this. The Republican de-
feat-which Mss Dodge is mistaken in
regarding as ''temporary"-was very
largely due to the selfish persistence Of
James G. Blaine in forcing himself upon
the party as its candidate, and COM
pelling it either to indorse his malo.
dorous record or decline to support him.
But it is hardly just to Blaine to speak
of his conduct as betrayal He did
not recognize any obligation to thx
party. 1t was the party obligation to
him that he recognized. He regarded
himself as of more Importance than the
party; and while he unquestionably
sacrificed the party to his personal am
bition and greed, betrayal" is not at
all the proper word to describe his con
duct We are surprised that a writer
e
should, even under the stress of per
sonal feeling, forget the proprieties o.
language and do SO rank an injustice to
her kinsman. Not even among Blaine's
most earnest political opponents is he
accused of betrayal, though he lie
generally recognized as the cause of his
party's defeat The 'Mugwumps"
may possibly be less lenient with him;
but it unbecoming in Gail Hamilton to
adopt their vocabulary for any purpose.
The cause of this unexpected attack
on Blaine we can not even surmise- u
Miss Dodge were an ordinary woman it
would be useless to speculate about the
matter; for the ordinary woman is un-
der no obligation to assign-or even to
have-a cause for anything she may do
or say. But Miss Dodge is not an ordi-
nary woman. Upon more than ono oc-
cas- on she has recognized distinctly the
existence of relations between caase
and effect; and several of her writings
bear perceptible traces of logica.
mind. 1t is not violent presumption,
therefore, that she has some reason foz
her present remarkable antagonism to
