THE MURDEROUS APACHES.
Cooks Report OF Recent Indian Move
ments ON the Western Border.

WASHINGTON, October 27 Col. Bradley, of
the 18th infantry, has sent the following COM
munication to tne war department touching
tile Hpaches. Under date OF San Safe. October
9Th, Gen. Crook reports by telegraph that the
hostile Apaches who havo been In the Dragon
and Chirtcahua mountains, Arizona; since the
last of September, were driven into Mexico on
the 9Th Inst, by two troops OF the 10th
cavalry and a party OF cow boys.
/ have ordered the five troops OF the 9Th caval-
ry, under Col Morrow, to occupy line from
Meners Cienega, aud to patrol the Rio Grande
to the Arizona line. These posts, with daily
patrol, will watch the country better than the
former posts on the Mexico line, In my opin
ion, and enable US to get earlier information
of any movement of the hostiles north through
this territory. The report of hostile Indians
near the Dat1l mountains. about ten days ago,
is incorrect. A party Of Nayajoes hunting IN
Major Sumner, sth cavalry, reports
that he found no fresh trails on
the Mogollon Mountains. Lieut.. Cecil ran on
creek eek and N the Tapilfo. He followed them
some distance but they escaped IN the noun:

! depredations that have been charged to In
up ri or capture this larty. So far as I know

Mexico, though as they have been driven 1, out

The lingerie was on scale of mag
nlticence and abundance in keeping
with the remainder of the wardrobe
There were dozens and dozens of gar.
ments for night and day wear, fluted
puffed, tucked, embroidered and
! trimmed with costly lace, and each
made OF the finest fabrics possible fol
such use.
Among her wedding gifts were
many costly fans, some with mother
of-pearl sticks and one of tortoise
shell, another of smoked pearl and
others with gilt sticks; several had
point lace covers others were finely
painted on satin. Lace handkerchiefs
and rare jewelry In great variety were
sent her. There were five elegant
necklaces and any number of locketS,
bracelets and rings. Mr.. and Mrs. L.
I. Morton sent an emerald and dia-
mond ring; Mr.. and Mrs. Borie large
solitaire diamond ring and Mr.. Cat
tell, of New jersey q ring containing
five diamonds, costing 5000. The
most costly of all the presents were
the silver presented by Mr., George W.
Childs and Mr.. A. j. Drexel. The
sets sent by each cost nearly 5000
apiece.
And the elaborate trousseau and
the many magnificent gifts followed
the young bride to the country home
OF her husbands parents, where she
had little, if any, use for such things.
Most of her presents, by the way,
were, on arriving in London, displayed
there and attracted great attention,
the silver, for in England it |
seems the giving of silver to bride, |
who is supposed to be marrying into /
u good family of even moderate |
wealth, is unusual, as it is supposed |
that her husband's 8 family have enough |
OF such things. / was. told by an
American, who was in London at.the 1
time Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris' silver

was asked by English people: "Why

leir, would inherit. . '-.TrrI
1t was said that when she wanted
10 come to her father at the time he
vas supposed to be dying she could
lot do so until money was sent her by
Ter own family. It was also said
hat her husband, who was then in
New York, left there for England |
bout the time his wife sailed for
New York. 1t has been noticed that |
ince the scandal was published, two ,
ears ago, about him and q young |
