The Susquehanna Bridge to Stand

The Susquehanna Bridge to Stand.
Judge Fisher filed a lengthy opin.
ion on Saturday in the Circuit Court
in the case of Samuel G. Rowland, of
Port Deposit, Md, against the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company,
which was argued before him the lat.
ter part of June last. Mr.. Rowland's
bill asked for the removal of the new
bridge over the Susquehanna river at
Watson's Island, on the Philadel.
phia Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Road, on the ground that it is
an obstruction to navigation; that the
board of public works in giving it's
consent to bridge without draw
transcribed the powers vested in it
by the Legislature, and that an act of
Congress is necessary to authorize a
bridge over the navigable waters of
the United States. Judge Fisher
decides adversely to all these propo.
sitions, and dismisses the bill. He
holds that the board of public works
had the power to sanction the plan
of the bridge, either under the gener.
al railroad law or under the special
act of 1882. An act of Congress
was not necessary, because, although
the Susquehanna is a navigable wat.
er of. the United States, Congress has
never directly legislated to take
charge of its navigation, and that the
matter was therefore left in the hands
of the State; that as the river is

More Funds for rarnell.

PHLADELPHLA, Jan. PA large
number of prominent citizens met in the
council chamber this afternoon, in the in
terest of the Irish parliamentary fund.
The meeting was opened by John N.
Campbell, president of the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence Union of America, who
explained that the gathering was called
under the auspices Of the municipal coun-
ell of the Irish National League of Ameri-

and spoke earnestly in sympathy with the

subscriptions, which continued until 50,

The Cabinet Resigns.

LONDON, Jan. 2T.-The meeting of
the cabinet to-day lasted an hour. The
situation was fully discussed, and it was
resolved that the ministers should at once
resign, Salisbury sent IL special messen-
ger to Osborne to inform the queen of the
decision of the cabinet.
LONDON, Jan. 2T.-The Pail Mall
Gazette. in a leading editorial points out,
as a sombre coincidence, the fact that the
Salisbury cabinet fell on the anniversary
of the death Of Gen. Gordon, who was
killed at Khartoum Jan. &c, 1884. Specu-
lating on the probabilities OF a new minis
try, the Gazette says that a strong one
could be found by Mr.. Gladstone if he
would take into it such men as Joseph
Chamberlain, John Morley, William
Spostan Caine, Reginald r. p. Bratt, Sir
Geo. Russell. Lord Rosebery, Lord Hart
ington and Mr.. Parnell. Rosebery, the
Gazette thinks, should be made colonial
secretary and Harrington foreign secre-
rotary, in place of Lord Derby; and Lord
Granville, who followed these officers re-
spectively in the last Gladstone cabinet,
and who, together with the earl of Kim
berly, formerly the Liberals secretary
for India, should, the Gazette maintains,
be excluded from any future government
the Liberals may be called upon to form.
Mr.. Parnell, the paper continues, will in
any event, be virtually chief secretary for
ireland, and he might as well be taken
into the cabinet first as last. In conclu-
sion, the Gdzeue says, if Mr., Gladstone
VIII form his cabinet of the material sug-
gested, he will secure for himself the pros
pect OF a strong and stable government
The Globe Conservative, says, it is
rumored that Mr.. Parnell has resolved to
use the home rule vote to overthrow Mr..
Gladstone at the first opportunity which
presents itself, should the Liberals as
sumo power. Mr.. Parnell will do this
for the purpose of exhibiting to the Irish
abroad his power, in order to stimulate do
nations to the parnellite treasury, which
was nearly drained by the recent elections.
The GLOBE is also authority for the state
ment that Mr.. Gladstone's new cabinet
will be mainly radical, and that it will in
troduce a measure of English and Irish
land policy designed to settle the Irish
question without conceding home rule in
any form. In this way Mr.. Gladstone
hopes TO retain the support of both Radi-
Gals and Parncllites. Lord Salisbury is
anxious to acquaint the country with the
nature of the Irish policy he intended to
pursue if he had remained in power, and
will probably take occasion to make some
statement to the house of lords tomorrow
which will give him an opportunity to un-
fold his intended treatment of the Irish
question.
The Standard says Chamberlain will
be the Irish secretary in the Gladstone
cabinet. 1t says also: IAN the continent

INDIAN TREACHERY. Y
Capt. Crawford Attacks an
Indian Camp.
A Running Fight Kept Up
for Two Hours.
The Indians Reinforced by
Mexican Soldiers.
An Encounter With Indians.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 2l.-A telegram
was received at Preside to-day from Fort
Bowie, Arizona. signed by Gen. Crook
that gives the contents of a dispatch re-
ceived by letter from Lieut.. Mans, dated
Nocori, Sonora, Mexico, Jan. 81. United
States troops under Capt. Crawford, on
Jan. II, surrounded and attacked an In
dian camp fifty miles southeast of Nocori.
A two hours running fight took place. A
number of Indians were wounded, but all
escaped. The hostiles sent word that
they wished to hold a conference, and
while the troops in camp were awaiting
the time fixed for the conference, they
were attacked by 1854 Mexican soldiers.
Efforts were made to let them know the
troops were Americans and friends. Capt.
Crawford and Lieut.. Z. Mans advanced
to talk with them, when n volley was
fired. Capt. Crawford was shot in the
head and Mr.. Horn, Interpreter, was
slightly wounded in the left arm. The
Mexicans' fire was partly returned by the
scouts of Capt. Crawford's command,
but only sufficient to keep them at a dis
lance. The firing lasted half an honr,
when Lieut.. Mans succeeded in having a
talk with the officer in command of the
Mexicans, their captain having been
killed. He was told the Americans were
taken for hostiles, owing to the darkness.
The Mexicans signed n paper to that
effect The loss to the Americans by the
unfortunate affair was; Capt. Crawford,
MORALLY wounded; Mr.. Horn, chief of
the scouts, two Indians slightly wounded,
and another severely wounded. The
Mexican loss was four killed and five
wounded.
In a telegram sent by Lieut.. Mans of
this affair, he believes the Mexicans ex-
pected to drive the Americans off with
their overwhelming force and secure their
camp and effects. Capt Crawford died
on the 18th, during the march to Nocori.
where he vas buried. He was u%neonsci-
Gus until his death. Lieut.. Mans then
assumed command.
While the troops were en- route to No
corr, two squaws entered camp, through
whom arrangements were made by Lieut..
Mans for a conference with two
bucks of the hostile band. This ended by
Chief Mana and one buck, wife and child
of both Geronimo and Natchez, sister of
Geronomo, one boy and a woman being
given as hostages to Lieut. Mans, for the
observance of peace until Geronimo meets
Gen. Crook, with whom he expressed a
wish to have a talk.
A meeting between Crook and Gerono-
ma will take place in about a month and
will undoubtedly end.in the Indians sur
render. The band consists of Chiefs
Geronomo, Nachez, Chihuhua and Mana,
twenty bucks and some women and
children. Lieut. Mans is now heading
for Lang's ranch.

DENVER, Jan. 27.-The first Interna.
tional Range, Cattle and Horse Growers
convention was called to order at the
Grand Opera house this morning, at II
o'clock by Preliminary Secretary II. NJ.
Taylor. Nearly 1000 delegates and visit
ing stockmen were present, representing
Texas, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Wyo-
ming, Montana, Idaho, California, Ne.
braska, Arizona, Indian Territory, Kan
sas, New Mexico and Mexico. The sec
Rotary, on calling the convention to order,
read the call under which the delegates
assembled, stating that while the eonven-
ton had no desire to cut loose from the
National Association of ST. Louis, we re-
alize that the people of the East are not
| familiar with the requirements of the cat
tie growing interests of the plains; they
know little of our system Of breeding and
maturing cattle, which is wholly different
from that followed in agricultural regions;
that they cannot with wisdom participate
in the deliberations concerning our bust
ness. The interests of the entire range
country are so homogeneous that we sre
confident that an organization limited to
members engaged in the range industry
will prove of the greatest beneficial re-
suits.
Mr.. Sturgis, of Wyoming, put forward
for temporary chairman Governor Routt,
who was unanimously endorsed and chos-
en- chairman, with G.. l.. Brooks, of New
Mexico, secretary. A committee on Gre
dentials was then appointed by the chair,
composed of one from each delegation
present.
Governor Eaton, of Colorado, welcomed
the cattlemen in behalf Of the state, and
by Maj. Jos. Bates, in behalf of the city,
after which A. b. Mathew, of Kansas
City, brought on to the stage the mann
moth Galloway steer Jumbo, weighing
$500, and presented by him to the con
%vention. 1t was intended he should be
slaughtered and divided among the dele
gates, but upon motion of Col. j. w.
Dryer, of New Mexico, the animal was
sent to the Colorado agricultural farm.
The committee on credentials retired
and the convention took a recess until 2
O'Clock.

road rates and transportation, advocat-
ing a policy for the association of collect
ing rebates, securing freight rates and
transacting all business for members re-
lating 10 the transportation live of stock.
Il. B. Light read a paper upon Brand
ing; he held that the present method of
burning cattle deprecated the value of
the hide 50 to 100 per cent, and recon-
mendcd the putting of brands on the
check, neck or low on the hind
legs. Cattle men say that in the
eastern market one thousand unbranded
cattle will not bring one dollar more than
the same number burnt all over with
brands, and until there is Il difference
made in the value of such cattle, there is
little prospect OF any action upon the sub
ject. The committee on credentials still
being out the committee adjourned until
10 o'clock to morrow.

Tho Double-Headed Legislature

INC Legislature.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 27.-Every thing is
quiet at the seat of the senatorial disturb
ance this morning. Both sides, however,
seem firm and developments are looked
for by evening.
The jackson club, which is the leading
Democratic organization of central Ohio,
held a meeting last night and as the re-
suit n mass meeting has been called at the
city hall tonight, to take expression on
the conduct and alleged u%surpation by the
lieutenant governor. The meeting is an
nounced in the morning Democratic
paper, and the announcement that the
Democratic members of the senate will be
present With other prominent Democrats,
and the probability is that Judge Allen
G. Thurman will be president of the
meeting. This movement is condemned
by the Republicans and don't find favor
among some of the Democrats, on the
ground hat it will have a tendency to in
tensily the already strong feeling.
The Democratic senator are not in
clined to precipitate matters too early,
but there is u probability, in case nothing
is accomplished by the joint committee,
that a resolution will be offered this even
ing for the suspension or expulsion Of the
president. They prefer, however, that
this final move should not be ~inaugurated
for a day or two, unless the situation.
from their standpoint, demands it.
Welsh says the demands of the majority
cs.n be summed up as requiring that the
president shall respect the rights of that
body in his rulings, and that a committee
of three from each side be appointed to
go to Cincinnati and investigate the
alleged frauds in the election.
The Republican senate has received an
informal message from the conference
committee that they will be unable ia
complete their work by 4 p. m, and there
seems TO be a mutual understanding that
the joint senate will be adjourned at that
hour, IN order to give the committe,
further time. A compromise spirit has 9
strong hold and all are willing that hOstili.
ties shall be suspended for that purpose.
