The Murdered American.
Ell PAso Tex, April Sth.-The particu-
lars of the murder of the American. Felt
ner, in the State of Durango Mexico. have
come to hand. He was employed in an
anu POSITION Ill the
Elbanco mines,and was on his return trip
from Cuencame, near Junulco, where he
had been on business for the company that
employed him. A leading member of the
Elbanco Mining Company is CAPTAIN
Eads, OF st. Louis Feitner's empty horse
returned to the stables, and search was
made for the missing driver The BODY
was found in wild, desolate gully. He
had been lassoed and strangled after the
money he had on his person was gone.
| Cayotes had mutilated the face but where
protected by clothing his body was intact.
Removal of the Captured Apaches.
Ell PAso (Tex.), April 9th-Mysteri-
ously, and with great secrecy. a party of
travellers passed through Ell Paso Wednes
dry Hlght towards the east over the South
ern Pacific Sunset route 1t consisted of
the Apache chief Mana and twenty-eight
bucks, with large escort of Federal SOL
dlers. Their destination it is impossible to
find out, but it was either Fort Pulaski
| near Savannah, Ga, or Fort Marion. near
| st. Augustine, Fla. The reason for thus
secretly removing the captured hostiles
from the reservation is obvious. The feel
ing of the people of Arizona and New
Mexico had become so bitter against the
murderous sayages that there was serious
apprehension of a concerted action of out
| ragged citizens. Writs of arrest had been
placed in the hands of the Sheriff, direct
| ing him to produce the hostiles before iu-
| dicial tribunal, on charges of murder, but
| these writs were disregarded and returned
by General Crook. There is a settled de-
termination, however, on the part of the
citizens of southern Arizona and southern
New Mexico that no hostiles shall remain
unmolested on the reservation To pre-
vent trouble, the authorities at Washing
ton evidently directed the speedy removal
OF the hostiles to more safe location.
Mysterious Affair.
| CHICAGO, April 9th-The Daily Ncars
this evening publishes q startling article
, from dispatches received from Sandusky.
Ohio, in connection with the burning of
the butfet-car on the Lake Shore and Mich
| igan Southern Railway yesterday The
| article relates that contrary to the first re-
| ports, that two cOrpses, which were being
shipped East, were totally consumed, the
! bodies were in reality only partly DESTROYED.
The bodies were those of Mrs. Jennie Net
tleton and her babe, en- route from st. Paul
| to Newport, Conn. Mr.. Nettleton was
aboard the train, and when he made ex-
| animation he found that diamond ring,
worth several thousand dollars, which he
had placed on his wife's finger before her
| body was shipped lad disappeared. No
trace has been found, and Mr.. Nettleton
offered $1,000 reward for its recovery. He
| is having the matter investigated The
suspicious feature is that Mr.. Nettleton re-
| manned in ignorance of the catastrophe
until the train reached Cleveland, where
he declared the train men told him the
| bodies were entirely consumed
Good Work by the Associated Press
Thursday.
NEw YORK, April 9th-The superior
cable service of the Associated Press yester-
day was the most rapid and thorough work
ever done for American newspapers. For
| the first time two distinct reports were
made out-one for afternoon papers and
another containing an almost verbatim re-
port OF Gladstone's great speech, an ab-
stract of Parnelfs, with comments of the
London papers on the measure proposed.
The descriptive parts of both reports were
In good taste and highly graphic, and the
transmission by cable was free from errors.
The Associated Press had made very liberal
arrangements for this work in advance, the
most experienced men being employed
and no expense being spared. The matter
was handled at this end with such dispatch
that the last word was supplied to the edi-
tors at midnight. The report fills broad
page of the Times.
