Devilish Work Of Indians in New
Mexico.
A Large Number of Dead Bodies, Horri-
bly, Matiiaeed, Found on the Trail ofthe
Apaches.

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, June 5.-Never have
the Indians on their bloody raids come so
near the city 1.-THE first news of the'proxim-
ty Of the Indians was received on Wednes-
day of last week, when boy, riding ahorse
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. All 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
water hole in the hills, where they ex-
pected to fine the Indians, who, however,
had fled. Returning to the ranch, larger
party was organized to go to Juniper
Springs, but the Indians had fled
from that ispot also. Scouts spent
two hours in searching for the trail, which
led to Little Walnut Creek. Along this
stream the most horrible sights were
witnessed. Dead bodies, frightfully mutt
lated, and naked, were found at short inter-
clothing and household articles were scat
tered everywhere. At william Ogden's
five dead bodies, all scalped, lay in a pool
of blood. The two women had been out
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
Felix Marquese, five dead bodies
were found. Mrs. Marquese 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 a 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 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.

Champion Printer of America.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The best record for
fast type setting was broken in the match
between Ira Somers, of the World, and Jas.
Mccain of the Herald, to-day. The former
set GO32 ems of solid minion in three hours,
and the latter 6,342 ems, beating his oppo-
nent $40 ems, and winning the $500 stakes
and the championship of America.
Mccain set 254 lines OF type and Somers
241 lines without correcting. The latter's
proof was much more perfect than Mr..
McCann's, and he gained two lines on him
in making corrections. The winner was
thus but eleven lines ahead at the close.
The score is the most remarkable ever
made in typesetting contests Ar
ensberg set $500 ems in the same
time five years ago, and his record
was not equaled until to-day, when both
men beat it. Mr.. Somers' inexperience told
against him to-day. Mccain is about
thirty years old, and has participated in
several matches, while Somers is but
twenty two years old and never entered
contest before. 1t is the general opinion
among hundreds of printers who watched
to-day's contest that Somers can beat Nc
Cam, and another match is being ar
ranged.

Strange Assault by a Chinaman.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, June 3.-Sam
Lang, an aged Chinaman, called at Charles
Loves saloon at four o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, had glass of beer, and refused
TO pay for it on the ground that Loves son
owed him for laundry work. An alterca-
tion ensued, and the Chinaman was pushed
out. He turned and broke a vile COM
pound in Allie Loves face He was taken
sick in less than two minutes with convul-
sions A canvasser of rub
Der stamps happened in, saw the
trouble, and at once procured an antidote,
which undoubtedly saved the life of the
young man, though he is still very weak
and the pupils of the eyes distended in size.
Two doctors were called and said they
would not have known what antidote to
have given. Lang will be arrested on a
charge of assault with attempt to kill.
The fumes made every one in the room
sick. The composition of the poison is
known only to Chinese and Japanese re-
ligiOniSts.

Government Musicians.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Secretary Whit
ney, in his official order relative to the en-
ployment of the Naval band of the U. S.
s. New Hampshire, at the Newport Thea
ter, and practically annulling their engage
ment, finds no special law on the subject
of musicians taking employment outside of
that covered by their enlistment. The
custom permitting it he finds universal,
and the compensation provided by
the Government is based somewhat upon
the suppositon that enlisted musicians will
supplement their Government pay from
private employment. But in these cases
there is the universal rule that the Govern
ment shall not enter competition with pri-
vate individuals unfairly. This has be-
come the subject of general army order,
to the effect that "the Secretary of War
has discouraged the employment of regi-
mental bands for purposes not connected
with their duties in the military service,
and holds that they should not be brought
into competition with local bands" In the
Naval Service the same rules should apply,
at least to the extent of preventing unfair
competition between the bands supported
by the government and private individuals
engaged in the same business.

Washinqton Monument Damaged.

WASHINGTON, June Tt has been dis
covered that the top of the Washington
Monument was struck by lightning during
a storm on Friday last. The cap-stone and
the next stone below on the northeast cor
ner are cracked for a distance of
over four feet. The fracture is less
than an inch in width, but it will probably
necessitate the removal and rebuilding Of
the entire top. The joints on the slanting
top are protected from the weather
by phosphore bronze. This metal was
not connected with the lightning
rod that serves as a conductor to the
aluminium tip, and the lightning which
struck could find no escape to the ground
except along the wet stones. An electrical
scientist from Baltimore will make an ex-
animation of the monument to report what
additional protection is needed. II would
be better if some practical electrician were
consulted.

Fiuht With Bio Bear,

FORT PITT, 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 Oh 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, whoreplied indistinctly.
Mckee said: "If you will deliver our
people, we will cease, firing" The Indian
replied: eve intend to clean you out"
Steele's loss was three wounded

A Meteor the Size of a Barrel

SHERMAN, TEX, June IA meteor OF
remarkable size was seen near midnight
last night, moving in a southwesterly di-
rection. The sky was brilliantly lluminat-
ed by it for several seconds. A moment
after the meteor had disappeared loud
explosion, similar to the discharge
of heavy artillery, was heard, accom-
panied by perceptible shock. This
phenomenon was followed by rumbling,
like distant thunder. The meteor APP
peared to be about the size of -four bar
rel. 1t was also observed at Mckinney,
thirty five miles distant, where kissing
sound was heard, greatly alarming some
colored people who were returning from
to fight, shouting that the day of judg-
ment had come.

SLAUGHTERED.
Rebels Attacking Carthagena Repulsed
With Great Loss.

New York, June 3.-The steamer which
to-day arrived from Panama brings the
following account Of the attack upon Car
thagena: Late news from Carthagena
confirms the intelligence received by the
Spanish gunboat Ferdinand Ell Catolico
and the American flagship Tennessee.
Gralnton, on learning of the approach of
The Government troops under Bryceno, and
of their junction with the small force led
by General Villa, of Sincelejo, resolved on
making general attack on Carthagena, as-
saulting it by land and sea. He paid dearly
for his temerity. Procuring num-
Der of scaling ladders, he sent force by
sea, to approach as silently as possible the
walls of the city, and to cover this move
ment he began most furious attack along
his whole line of siege works, particularly
at Lapapa. The assailants from the sea
side succeeded in placing many of their
ladders, and number of men succeeded liz
scaling the walls. Had sufficient number
done this before making demonstration
to attract the attention of the small number
OF the besieged, their triumph would have
been secure; but, with characteristic en-
thusiasm, when only about sixty men hal
reached the walls, they began the usual
"Vivas," which brought upon them at
once the main force of the beseiged. The
result was that the attack by sea was
repulsed with frightful loss, the
bayonet machete and knife doing the
work. Every man who reached the sum
init of the walls was killed or wounded,
and many at their base who sought escape
by swimming were drowned. The losses
of Gainton's forces were nearly six hum
dred killed and wounded, and of the 10y
alsts fourteen wounded and nine killed.
After the repulse Canton withdrew his
forces, aud proceeded to Baranquilla to
await an attack by the Government forces.

Bursting of a Reservoir.

LoNGMoNT, COL, June 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 INSTRUCTED its path, and flooding ad-
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 a large section
of country adjacent to the mountains.

Murder in the First Degree.

RICHMOND, VA, June 4.--The trial of
Thomas Jefferson Cluverius for the murder
of his cousin, Fanny Lillian Madison, hav-
ing lasted an entire month, and having
been fought out on both sides by the ablest
legal talent procurable, was ended tonight
with verdict of guilty of murder in the
first degree. The case has attracted ex-
traordinary attention here from the prom
inence of the young people. They moved
in the best society, and Miss Madison was
a lineal descendant of President Madison.
Her death occurred in March last, and her
body was found in the water reservoir, the
water being drawn off. Cluverius' convic-
ton was entirely on circumstantial evil
dence.
