A tragedy Of a remarkable character at Chi
cago prevented what was TO have been a bril-
liant wedding. The bridal couple have occupied
an honorable position in the highest social cir
cles and the preparations had all been CON-
pletcd. Miss Minnie Il. Rosch, a beautiful aud
wealthy girl of 20, waited at her home, 1874

the clergyman, but the bridegroom, who had
left his betrothed less than two hours before,
failed TO appear,
TIE man for whom ali were waiting was
Julius Lefer, confidential assistant TO Schmidt
Labes wholesale liquor merchants. lie was
30 years of age, a member of the German
M9nnerchor, and was fayorably known through.

apartments on Chestnut street. The house was
locked, and there was no sign of the bride.

Stretched upon the bed in hts wedding garments
was the bridegroom, with a bullet in his fore.
head, dead. On two scraps of paper he com.
planned that be had not the moral courage &c

KILLED BY A SHELL.
A Lieutenant and Private Lose Their Lives a
Sandy Hook.

Sandy Hook.
Last Thursday Lieut.. VIM. NJ. Medcalfe, OF
the United States Army Ordnance Board, and
Private Henry King, of his command. were
killed at the proving grounds at Sandy Hook,
n. Y, by the explosion of a l2-inch mortar
she'll which they were loading. Lieut. Med
calfe was TO test several new mOrtars, and with
Private King, Corporals Goodknow and Abbott
and DIR. Sinclair, .0verseer of the proving
grounds, was loading shells prepare: DRY TO the
mornings work. Each she'll was loaded with %
pounds of powder. About dozen shells had
been loaded, aud a shell in the hands Of Private
King had just been filled with powder. On
attempting TO screw down the plug closing the
hole in the base of the shell through which the
powder had been inserted, King found that the
plug would not turn. This was not an unusual
occurrence, and King raped the plug smartly
with a hammer kept Tor the purpose. The
shell was exploded. King was killed, and
Lieut.. Mcdcalfe, who was bending over the
shell, survived his injuries only half an hour.
The bodies Of both men were frightiully torn.
Corporals GoOdknow and Abbott were but
slightly hurt, but DIR. Sinclair was severely
burned about the face. 1t is possible he will
lose his eyesight.
Lieut.. Medcalfe was 30 years old and un-
married. His only surviving relative is his
mother, his only brother having accidentally
killed himself with a revolver a year ago.
Lieut.. Medcalfe was engaged in testing ord
nance at Sandy Hook for two years, and had
under his command a detachment of men from
Governors Island. He was transferred to the
Ordnance Department from the 18th Art. five
years ago. and was an able and very popular
officer. Private King was % years old and a
native of Switzerland. Col. McAllister, who
with Lieut.. Col. Mordecai and Capts. Whipple
and Shaler, are the remaining members of the
Ordnance Board, said that one or two grains OF
powder probably caught in the thread of the
screw plug and that these ignited at the blow
of the hammer. A military court of inquiry
will be held.

GEN. MILES Is PLEASED.
he Announces to His Troops the Close of the Cam.
paign.

palgn.
The order of Gen. Miles announcing to his
troops the close of the Indian campaign in Ari-
zona has been made pnblic, and is an interest
ing document. he cougratulates them upon
the re-establishment OF permanent peace and
and security against future depredations Of the
hostile Apaches Gen. Miles mentions indi-
vidual acts of heroism on the part of officers
and men during the campaign, the most con-
spicuous of which was the conduct of Lieut.. X.
III. Clark, 10th Cav, and Private John Conradi,
OF Capt. Hatfield's 10th Cav. troop
Gen. Miles says: 1.-THE march of Lebo's troops,
20 miles in two hours, Benson's ride of 90 miles
in 10 hours and DIR. Moods skill and remarkable
marches with a detachment Of infantry, are
WORTHY of mention. The discontinue of the
Indians had been such that in June evidence of
weakening had been discovered, and after n
most vigorous campaign Of three months, in
which they had been pursued more than 1000
miles, an opportunity occurred for Lieut.. W.
T.. Wilder, 4th Cav, then with command near
Fronteras, Mex, 10 notify them to surrender.
Four days later Lieut.. c. B. Gatewood, 9th
Cav, rode into their presence at the risk of his
life, and without any assurance of a peaceable
reception, demanded their surrender through
two friendly Apaches. Finding no place of safe
refuge and troops in every section, the leaders
desired to see Capt. Lawton and requested IA
yorabe terms Their requests were refused and
Capt. Lawton was authorized TO receive their
surrender as prisoners of war. The Indians
agreed TO surrender TO the Department Com
mander, and marched III days parallel with
Capt. Lawton's command TO Skeleton Canyon,
AriZ. for that purpose, and on the 4th of Sep
TENDER, on learning that their tribe was being
removed from their native country, worn down
and exhausted, with not enough ammunition
TO make another fight. and with the expecta-
ton of punishment for life, they surrendered as
prisoners of war, trusting entirely TO the honor
of brave officers and soldiers, who had pursued
and fought them necessarily for four long,
weary months, and placed themselves and their
families at the mercy of the Government.
The friends of the Apache braves, if they
have any, will be delighted to know that &C.
ronimo, Natchez. Percio. Fun, and others, to
the number of II, now at San Antonio Tex,
will at an early day proceed to Florida and
take up their residence at Fort Pickens. The
rest Of the Apashes, 10 in all, will be sent TO
Fort Marion, in the same State, and be placed
with such of their countrymen as are already
under custody there.

A Vast Area Rnrnnd Over.

Intelligence has been received from Dunreith,
OAK, in the Turtle Mountain region. of the
most extensive prairie fires ever known in the
Northwest. They have been raging for 10 days,
both in the mountains aud on the prairies
Thousands of tons of hay have also been de-
stroyed, with a large number of houses, barns,
crops and all kinds of stock. Many settlers
have lost all of their possessions and the noun
tain towns narrowly escaped destruction. Bat
tineau was only saved by the efforts of citizens.
Every man in Dunreith and all the towns in
that vicinity has been out fighting flames thus
saving considerable property. The losses, ac-
cording 10 a conservative estimate, will aggre-
gate 81, 100000. One hundred and ninety-two
thousand acres Of land in all were burned over.
