HORSE THIEVES DONE FOR.
Kansas Farmers Dispose of Seven
Desperate Characters.

Ever since last fall farmers in the
counties Of Texas and Kansas, adjoining
the Indian Territory, had been sorely
annoyed by horse thieves who had been
unusually bold in their periodical raids.
Visits from the marauders at last became
so frequent that the farmers formed n
vigilance committee for the purpose of
exterminating the thieves. Some time
ago the vigilantcs, armed with Winchcs-
tiers. six-shoOters, and lariats, started ON
the trail of the marauders, but not until
they had been two weeks in the saddle
did they find any tangible trace of the
robbers camp. While they We're travel
ing through the western part of the
Territory ten days ago they suddenly
ran across the thieves in deep rayine.
The outlaws were in their blankets,
but not asleep, and when the vigilantes
rode up to the mouth of the ravine, the
thieves, who were in the command of
Bill Higgins, alias "ScarFace,' sprang
to their horses, but in mounting one of
their number was shot dead. The
others put spurs To their animals, and
were soon throwing dust and bullets into
the eyes of their pursuers. The horses
ridden by the vigilantes were fatigued,
and were in 10 condition to give the
outlaws horses any kind of race, but
the chase was begun and the trial of the
thieves followed. After furious ride,
lasting all day, the vigilantcs succeeded
in driving the gang upon a buttee near
a small creek, where preparations were
made for desperate resistance.
AS the vigilantes approached they
We're met by volley which brought
down one of their number-Peter Acker-
man of Medicine Lodge, Kan. The
thieves were surrounded rs well as pos
sible and the fight continued. One by
one the rifles OF the outlaws were silenced
until but few flashes answered the vigi-
lantes' rifles. About dusk a white rag
was hoisted Oh the summit Of the butte.
The vigilantes greeted it with another
volley and charged up the hill. Three
of the outlaws escaped, but Seal ace,
Hank Window and "Curly Bill were
captured. 'Curly Bill and Window
were riddled with bullets, but ".Scar-
Face" although nearly dead from .rss
blood. was dragged to death, suspended
by lariat to the pommel Of n saddle.
Four other members Of the gang were
found dead behind their stone bariers.-

81. FIoquet's speech i'm the Chamber
of DeputieS

PARIS, January I'm. Floquet on
assuming the presidency OF the Chamber
of Deputies to-day spoke of the robust
vitality displayed by that body in ac-
comprising with invincible tirmness the
sacrifice necessary but painful, and
achieving the constitutional evolution
which the honor of the republic de-
manded. He held that it was the duty
OF the Chamber to maintain upon solid
basis the lasting harmony between the
public powers. 1t was also to the IN
terest of the nation that the au.
thority of Legislative power should
not in its turn be shaken just
after the prestige of Executive power
had been happily established. He con-
cluded by saying that the questions
touching political procedure had but
slight interest for the nation at the pres
emit time. 1t was therefore necessary for
the Chamber to occupy itself with ques-
tons of finance, industry, and com
merce, the welfare Of the working
classes, military organization, and the
internal situation. "Why," he asked,
"should we not be able to come to an
agreement upon these questions since we
all equally desire justice, while IN the
negotiations regarding external interests
we are actuated by loyalty to the people
who love peace, but are inaccessible to
weakness? Strict justice at home and
scrupulous loyalty abroad are our essen
tials of national strength. We must be
strong if we wish to be courted as allies
and dreaded as foes"
The Chamber proceeding TO business,
M. Fallieres stated that Magistrate
Vicnaux had been removed because his
conduct in the decorations scandal case
was incompatible with that OF an impair
tial magistrate.
NJ. Tirard, replying to the interpella-
ton of NJ. Basly (RadicaD, declined to
accede the demand for urgency for the
question of amnesty for political Offend
ers. NJ Tirard said he was disposed to
favor clemency to political offenders,
though he could not recommend whole
sale amnesty.
The motion for urgency was mega
tived-265 to 1877.
In the Senate NJ. Leroyer was reflect
ed president.

DISASTROUS Fire in indianapolis
Large business Houses Destroyed.
BY telegraphato the Dispatch

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, January IA
What promises at this hour $3.50 A. NJ
to prove the most disastrous fire ever
known in this city broke out tonight at
ii o'clock. At that hour an alarm called
portion of the fire department to
South Meridian and Maryland streets,
in the wholesale district. The fire, as now
stated. was first discovered in cellar
in rear of d. z. Erwin a Co.'S dry
goods house. Other alarms brought more
engines and more hoes, but their
efforts are without avail, and the flames
are spreading rapidly. To the north Of
Erwins was located the wholesale
grocery house OF George w.
Stout & Co., and by II o'clock
both buildings. handsome four-story
structures, stocked with valuable mer-
chandise, were destroyed. On the
south a new four-story building be-
longing to Pearson & Wetzel, just COM
pleted but not yet occupied, was con-
sumed. The extensive dry goods house
OF Byrm, Cornelius Il Co., north OF Stout
& Co. s, was in danger for time, but
will probably be saved. The intense
heat from the burning buildings on
the east side of the street, in spite of the
efforts of the firemen, started blazes in
the cornices OF buildings on the west side,
and the firms of tanners d Sullivan,
tanners supplies; G. b. Connor's Sons,
overalls; Mckee & Branham, boots
and shoes, and Pearson & Wetzel.

burned. The night is clear and frosty,
with but little wind, and the broad,
smooth streets are lighted for blocks by
the flames, and thousands of people are
viewing the costly illumination.

The Great Fog In England.

LONDON, January 1.-THE fog con-
tinues extremely dense and shows no
signs of lifting. Forty loaded vessels
are fog-bound in the Mersey. Among
them is the White-Star steamer Celtic,
which was to have left for New York
Yesterday. Service on the various packet
lines has been suspended. Several
vessels have gone ashore on account OF
the fog. The fog has demoralized the
railway service, and makes it impossible
to run trains on schedule time. Nume'
rnns fatalities haye occurred.
