The Blue and the GRAY.

BALTIMORE, Md, May 7.-After some
angry debate the Robert E. Lee Camp, of
Richmond, was invited to seats in the hall in
which theArmy of the Potomac was holding
its Reunion in this city. Colonel Magin-
mis-, of Montana, made welcoming speech
in behalf of the blues, and General Cooke
and Colonels Marshall and Evans, of the
X. E. Lee Camp, responded. Colonel Ma
ginnis spoke of the chivalry shown by both
sides. Hard pounding produced mutual re-
spect. Whatever of malice and meanness
there was in the rear, none of 1t came to
the front. There brave men faced brave
men. The fighting men are to-day the
quietest and best citizens of reunited
country The fellows who are at fever
heat now are the men who remained at
home when the fighting was going on.
General Cook thanked the men of the blue
for the welcome, and said that the
blue and the gray should hence
forth unite to conquer peace. Colonel
Marshall said "We surrendered our arms
at Appomattox: we now surrender our
hearts," A hearty cheer greeted this SEN
tence. The Colonel then said that there
were some among the blue who retain
their wrath, and some among the grey
who are not reconstructed, but they are so
nearly reconstructed that when a recon-
structionist takes snuff they sneeze. In
conclusion he said that peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than war.

PLAGUE E-STRICKEN.
Deplorable Condition of Affairs at Ply.
mouth, Pa.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May s.-Advices
from Plymouth, Pa, where the epidemic
has been raging, say that few new cases
of fover were reported to-day, and four
deaths for the last twenty four hours,
among them John H. Phillips, member of
this Borough Council from the Third Ward.
There were five deaths yesterday from the
disease. Since the report of the committee
that the epidemic was caused by the water
in the fourth reservoir of the Plymouth
Water Company being contaminated,
the Company temporarily stopped
the supply, and and is thoroughly
cleaning the pipes, etc, and will
replenish with a fresh supply from its
springs and artesan wells. The committee
that made the examination, however, re-
ports the water at present as being all right
and pure. An effort is being made to estab-
lish hospital in the Central High School
Building. A meeting of citizens of Phila-
delphia will be held tomorrow at the
Mayors office for the purpose of devising
means to assist the sufferers. Mayor Smith
has asked Police Surgeon French and DR..
Shakespeare to visit the scene of the epi-
demic and examine into the cause of the
disease, it's character, condition of the shf
fers, and to obtain such information as will
convey an idea of the precise condition of
affairs

Deadlock In Illinois Broken.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May THE returns
from yesterdays special election in the
Thirty fourth Legislative District (Coun-
ties of Mason, Menard, Cass and Schuyler)
for successor to Mr.. Shaw, Democrat, re-
Gently deceased, shows the election of j.
w. Weaver, of Mason County, republican.
This was surprise to everybody, ire
spective of party. This district has been
strongly Democratic, every county in the
district giving from five hundred to six hun
dred majority for that party. 1t seems that
the Republicans of the district stole march
upon their opponents by adopting plan
of still hunt, and caught the Democrats
asleep, the latter not being aware that the
Republicans had candidate in the field at
all until late in the day yesterday. It ap-
pears that the Republicans kept shady until
the afternoon, and then, being too late for
the Democrats to rally their forces for an
effective struggle, the former carried the
forts in every county by storm. The
scheme was shrewdly planned and sharply
executed. The returns received tonight
show that Weaver's majority is between
125 and 175. His election is conceded by
the Democrats.

NORTHWEST TERRITORY.
The Indians Reported Rising in all Direo-
tions and Settlers Fleeing.

OTTAWA. ONT, May The following
exciting news comesifrom Northwest Ter
ritory:
FISH CREEK, N. w. T., May ga recon-
noltering party of seventy men from Boul-
toms Cavalry went forward to Dumont's
Crossing yesterday and returned at $3.50
p. m. They proceeded a mile past Du-
mont's and within three miles of Batoche.
About a mile this side of Dumont they
started a half. dozen rebels, evidently
outposts, who were in house, but
who'galloped away without firing shot.
All the half breeds houses were found
deserted and valuables removed. Du-
mont's scouts have been found. A steamer
from Swift Current arrived this morning
and brought 120 of the Midland battalion,
Gattling gun and large quantities OF
ammunition and provisions.
WINNIPEG, May, IA wild 'rumor, to-
night, that General Middleton's forces had
severe battle with the insurgents at Ba-
touch, induced great excitement. The ru-
NOR, however has been pronounced entirely
baseless. Edmonton advices report the
region north and east of there
full of hostilities. In fact, all
the Indians west Of Battleford are in war
paint. Settlers have all fed. John Walk
ingshaw and Albert Harkness, both from
Ontario, were killed by Big Bears band.
Their wives and the wives of the two
missionaries are prisoners, and the
four women are being frightfully
maltreated. Scouts from the Northeast
say Colonel Otter will have fear
full time of it. Poundmaker, Little Chico
and all the other chiefs are on the war
path. A number of half-breeds are direct
ing them. Major Steele was to have sent
word back when he reached Edmonton, but
nothing has been heard from him. There
is perfect panic in the Eleanor District.
Scores Of homesteads have been burned.

Nav Cf0D Reports.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The May report
Of the Department of Agricultural relates
to the progress of spring blowing and of
cotton planting, and to the condition of
winter grain, meadows and pastures. 1t
also reports the prevailing rates of wages
OF farm labor. Cotton planting, though
comparatively late, is well advanced, fully
four fifths of the proposed area having
been planted. The usual proportion seeded
on the first of May is probably five per
cent. greater. Last year but two-thirds of
the area was in termination at this
date. Rains in Texas have delayed work
in planting. Everywhere it was begun
late, but the progress has at most points
been unusually rapid. The plants have
been slow in termination on dry areas, and
have not yet made their appearance at
many points. Spring plowing in prepara.
ton for planting is everywhere late Last
year at this date it was estimated to be two
thirds done. This year it is scarcely
six -tenths. The estimated average
of series of years exceeds
seven tenths. Less than half of
this work is done in the Eastern States, in
New York, Ohio and Michigan. A much
larger proportion is finished in the North
west, where corn, potatoes and other late
planted crops are grown in smaller proper
tion. The injury to the winter wheat
crop was greater than appearances in
dicated on the 1st of April. The roots
were killed in the central belt even
worse than was supposed. In New York
the snow protection was ample, ex-
cept in spots, and in Michigan no matte
rial injury occurred. But in the Ohio Vsi-
ley and in Missouri reports of the condi-
tion are much reduced. In the South a
slight Improvement in the prospect has oc-
Cured. The average of condition in the
principal wheat growing States is as fol-
lows: New York, 90; Michigan, 100; Ohio,
30; Kentucky, 45; Indiana, 70; Illinois, AZ;
Missouri, so; Kansas, SO. The gen
eral average is 20 instead of u
in April, reduction of about Q per
cent, reducing the indicated production OF
winter wheat to about 240,000,0O0 bushels,
The condition ofrye is also lower than re-
ported in April, yet much better than
wheat, the average being s6. The average
condition of winter barley is 50. The now
ing lands promise nearly average crop
of hay, the aver age of condition being 79
Pastures look nearly as well, condition 80

NINE DEAD.
He Kills Eight Persons Before He is Mads
to Bite the Dust.

LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, May 6.-Yesterday
morning at Bonito City, mining camp in
Lincoln County, Martin Nelson arose from
bed, and, while committing a robbery,
shot and killed DR.. William H. Flynn,
late of Boston, who was sleeping in the
same room with Nelson in the up
stairs of the house of M. S. Mayberry. The
firing aroused the family, when Nelson
shot and killed Mayberry and wife, and
two sons and little daughter were wounded
fatally, Peter Nelson, a neighbor, was
alarmed and came to the house, when he,
too, was. shot dead. 1t is supposed Nelson
remained in the house. Ten citizens
watched it to prevent Nelson's
escape. At a. m. the guards were
surprised to hear shot from the rear, when
Herman Beck fell dead. Nelson then came
down the street firing a Winchester rife
until he was shot dead. Nelson was sane,
was good citizen, and came from Nebras-
ka. There is great excitement. The whole
neighborhood is making coffins.

F. s. Thrall, in this city, during the alb.

of them, with drawn knife, seized her, and
under penalty of death commanded silence,
but said she would not be harmed if she
made no outcry. He then cut off her hail
and cut her clothing, saying he wanted to
be revenged on her father. They took some
articles of silverware, and left the house
without doing the child further harm.

New YORK, May IA seven-year-old
boy named Willie Evans was almost chew
ed to death by savage dog in his mothers
bedroom. The animal was owned by a
family that lived in the same house on
Thirty ninth street. While the boy
was trying to sweep the room,
the dog jumped at the broom
and then at him. He threw him upon the
floor, and began to tear the flesh from his
back. The lad fought as best he could, but
the enraged brute gnawed at his rists, legs
and arms. His screams finally attracted
the attention of his father, and he rescued
him by clubbing the dog. The lad was so
badly bitten, though, that he will undoubt-
edly die.

Maj. Warner, chairman of the late
waterways convention, has decided
views about the proper recognition of
the Union veterans of the late ''unpleas-
antness." At reception rendered him
by the Minneapolis G. A. R., he said:
"A few weeks ago the whole nation
was in mourning for its great comman-
der. would not that the nation in its
grief for the dead should forget its du-
ty to the living. The men who carried
their muskets were the men who
made the achievements of Grant, Sher.
man, and Mcpherson possible. Both
parties have exhausted the storehouse
OF rhetoric in promises. They said we
should be preferred for appointments
and think it a shame that soldiers
should be displaced for the men who
either did not fight at all or fought
against their country"

a Ralr0I Romance.

Whitewater (Wis.) Register: Quite
a romantic affair is reported from
Heart Prairie. About twenty years
ago three orphan children were seper-
ated while asleep. The children were
one brother and two sisters. The sis
tiers had never met, nor knew of each
others whereabouts until one day last
week. when they were introduced to
each other at the residence of Mrs.
Charles Cook by the Rev. William Mil
lar of Richmond Center, who has been
successful in ferreting out the mysteries
of the affair and in bringing these sis
tiers together after such a long separa-
ton. The Joy which they experienced
on meeting each other can hardly be
expressed. These children were left
orphans when quite young, but by a
scar on the neck of one of the sisters
she was identified by the other. Their
names had been changed after they
were adopted, which made it difficult
to trace them.
