Adyices from Indian TERRITORY saw that

Advices from Indian Territory say that
vigilance committe, composed of over 100
prominent citizens Of the Creek nation, was
recently formed for the purpose Of capturing
or driving from the nation band Of desper-
ADDE'S who have long been operating in that
section making both life and property very
unsafe. During two weeks past they have
arrested 1o OF the outlaws. Sunday they
surrounded the house in which the notorious
Barrett gang were concealed and demanded
their surrender. A battle ensued and one
citizen and one outlaw were killed, and two
others wounded. At last accounts 200 men
had started from Muskokec for the scene oil
the fight.
A strike has b9en prevailing at the coal
mines near Beauvoir, Miss, for some months.
There have been frequent rows owing 10 a
number Of Swedes who were engaged 10
take the place Of the strikers. On Saturday
night pitched battle took place. A Swede
was killed and three other Swedes slightly
wounded Some Of the strikers were killed.
Over 100 shots were fired and a number of
houses were struck by stray bullets. The
militia will probably be called out.
Detectives are on the track of the man
who recently robbed a North Eastern Rail-
road express car in Louisiana of $4,000. and
hope to capture him in few days.
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain arrived at New
York yesterday from England. His marriage

Railroad Notes.

A New York despatch to the Boston Post
says: Arrangements have been concluded
for the consolidation of the Newburg.
Dutchess & Connecticut Railroad and the
New York & Massachusetts Railroad and
the immediate construction of the extension
of the latter from near Boston Corners, N.
Y, to Chicopee, Mass, making connections
there with the Connecticut River Railroad
and the Boston & Maine system of railroads.
This will give the consolidated line con-
nection with and crossing of the river by the
ferries at Fishkill, which it controls, and the
bridge at Poughkeepsie, whichever crossing
shall be. the most advantageous. and line
comparing well with other lines for short
distance and low grades between the Hudson
River and central New England. Traffic
contracts have been made with important
roads upon the west side of the Hudson
River Wned and controlled by large coal in
terests that will guarantee to this line large
coal tonnage as well as other merchandise
and passenger traffic."

Other devices on the car were:

HE TIPPED OVER.
FOUR, FOUR,

Next this car of melody and poetry came
the original and captivating display of the
Portland Wheel Club. Captain Harry +.
Higgins marched at the head OF it, while
Lieutenant Pierce led the music on a horn
some over four feet long and some louder
than any other horn out last night, The
boys of the club had armed themselves with
watchman's rattles supplemented with the
gongs that in country regions tell the people
over several square miles in area lust when
dinner is ready at the village hotel. The
boys said they had 81 men in line; but
estimated by the noise they made they ought
to be counted at two hundred certainly.
Small boys in great numbers followed the
Wheel Club and herald with fish horns the
coming of the barges and barouches.
Major w. III. Green, Alderman Galley, E.
A. Hanson and T. A. Motley were in the first
of long line of carriages and led the column
of barouches with becoming dignity.
Following was carriage, which Mr.. j. S.
Douglass, one of the occupants said be-
longed to war veterans. It's hardly neces-
sary to be told this for everybody knows
that Il. p. ingalls,, George II. Libby. George
ID. Abbott and A. nj. Sawyer were at the
front in the sixties.
Mr.. J. III. Dow and family and FL. H.
Batchelder and wife rode in barouche from
which many Chinese lanterns were hung.
z. A. Bean w. ii. Gates, +. K. Libby and
j. Z. Doldt were happy. They were getting
fine ride in Barney Hollywood's hack as
the result Of an election bet which Barney
was spaylng and apparently enjoying the
fun as much as the winners.
A big transparency bore the words

F. r. Harrington, G. f. Widgery, G. S. Gil
man, A. +. Davenport, each armed with a
small calliope, were doing their best to
frighten the horses.
Isaac G. Atkinson. President of the Atkin-
son House Furnishing Company, and Treas
urer Deane rode behind Mr. Atkinson's spir-
tied pair Of horses.
White ha IS and red flags were the distin-
gushing features of the carriage occupied by
J. p. Smith, ID. L. McCann, Geo. E. Brown,
J: g. Sanborn,, and Philip Smith. f. N.
Mayberry, G. s. .Pettengill and |. @. Wal
dron, who rode in the next carriage, gave
their names only after their modesty had
been overcome by great deal Of urging.
The next carriage contained Frank S.Luce,
5. L. Eveleth, Jr., and s. @. Barnum, each a
handsome man and each happy over the oc-
casion.
G. b. Buchanan, ID. L. Benson, w. S.
Leighton and W. I. Leighton were bashful
about seeing their names in print, but the
first OF the quartette gracefully yielded, and
gave the names.
Then came the Evening Express's ba-
rouche, drawn by four horses, and gaily dec
GRATED with Chinese lanterns. The carriage
con tanned members Of the. staff.
-Four gentlemen, whose faces were hidden
behind masks alleged to represent promin-
ent men, maintained the fiction by prompt
ly declining to give their names.
The excursion wagon Uncle Sam was filed
with fifteen little boys of the Ward Three U.
.. RepuDllcan CiuD. wearing white SUITS
trimmed with red. They had in their cart a
big tin boiler, on which all kept time. The
barge was completely covered with flags,
bunting and lanterns, and large flag made
the horse look gay. G. A. Sloman fixed up
the team for the boys.
The rasping cries of big watchman's S
rattle heralded the approach Of Mr.. Benja-
min Bonney. whose contribution to the noise
of the occasion was limited only by the abil-
ity of the rattle. Mr.. Bonney was ably sup
ported in his efforts by Messrs. Benjamin
Palmer, Edward Daniels and Benjamin
Lewis.
The joy of Scotchman at the election of
Harrison was shown by Mr.. A. Mcdonald,
who came with the pipes in carriage driven
by Mr.. j. Mcfarland.
Messrs. Geo. A. and w. Z. Ulmer, Mrs.
James E. Farrell and Miss May Z. Ulmer
rode beneath two story Chinese lantern,
and smaller lanterns were hung all around
the barouche.
Messrs. ii. S. Trickey, Horatio Clark. w.
f. McClintock and F. G. Rollins were the
occupants of the next carriage, and their
faces. wreathed in smiles, made the cold
breeze seem warm.
G. o. Goding handled the reins over his
handsome horse, which drew the next car
riage. Mr.: Cooling was accompanied by a
party of ladies.

Officers Of the Company Giving What
Relief They Can.

PTrrsBURG. KS, Nov. 11.-Up to Sunday
evening thirty-nine dead bodies had been
recovered from the mine at Fontenac and
about twenty wounded or injured Of the
latter not to exceed five will die and probably
not that many. Experts and volunteers are
still thoroughly searching the entries and
rooms of the underground workings for any
bodies that may possibly be left there, but it
is thought they are all now discovered and
included in the list of killed and wounded.
There were about 100 men in the mine at the
time of the explosion, those over and above
the number of killed and wounded having
escaped soon after the explosion by way Of
the air and escape shaft. The officials Of the
company are on the ground and all is being
done that is possible for the relief of the
suffering and distress of all the wounded

Foreign Notes.

1t was reported last week that the Eng
llsh. German and French governments had
decided to unite, and by means Of strong
naval force, attempt to prevent more effec-
tually the expectation of slaves from East
Africa. The arrangement for the blockade
has been nearly completed.
A powerful American syndicate is about to
be formed for the purpose OF building rail-
roads In Siberia. Besides a large subsidy
the government will give 100000 roubles
yearly FOR the transportation of mails and
c0nvicts.
General Charles Warren, chief of the met
ropolitan police Of London, has rendered his
resignation. 1t is understood that this ac-
tion is due to the severe criticisms that have
been made upon his efficiency recently
In connection with the Whtechapel mur-
ders.
The overdue Bossiere line steamship from
Hayre, which it was feared had been lost
during the recent storm in the Gulf of st.
Lawrence, put into ST. Pierre on Sunday
disabled On Thursday piston rod snapped
and the engines stopped. This threw the
steamer into the trough of the sea. The
waves made clear sweep over her. Before
she could be brought up to the wind under
small sail and hove to, her boats were stove
In and nearly everything movable about
decks was washed away. One seaman had
leg broken.
Reports from Rimouski state that of the
fleet of gulf fishing boats belonging in the
lower part of Quebec, seven are missing.
They may have been disabled and put into
Green Bay for repairs. They were manned
by 36 men.
Miss Endicott will be Mr.. Chamberlain's
third wife. He was first married to Miss
Harriet Kenrick, who died in 1867. His sec
ond wife was Miss Florence Kenrick, who
died In 1875. This gave rise to report at
the time that Mr.. Chamberlain had vic olated
the law OF the land by marrying his deceased
wlfe's sister, but as a matter of fact the
young women were cousins, bearing the same
name. The loss of his second wife is said to
have been very severe blow to Mr..
| Chamberlain. The young bride will have a
young stepdaughter of 20 and stepson
little younger.

the sidewalks heard some good music as
they went by. Following the band was that

Captain Summerside was In command, aided
by Lieutenant Smith.
The IiIuminations.
The illuminations all along the line Of
march were probably more numerous and
elaborate than were ever before seen in
Portland on a similar occasion. Thousands
of yards Of bunting, hundreds Of flags,
Japanese lanterns Of all shapes and sizes
and fireworks in great profusion were called
into use to make the celebration one long to
be remembered. Bonfres burned in many

The Yarmouth Band, Z. Raines, leader,
made such strains Of music for the young
men as they could not get out of the bells.
For smaller transparencies the young men
carried notices nominating Mr.. Reed for
Speaker of the next House and bespeaking
California for the Republican party as we'll
as Maine. In the rear Of the young mems
column, and their column was the longest,
noisiest and most picturesque In the whole
line, came car mounting two locomotive Q
headlights arranged to throw their light on
the column ahead. Above the car rose sill
YER ball, on top Of which proudly perched a
rooster of triumphant attitude. But the
musical features Of this car were the best A
locomotive bell gave the gentler tones while
two circular saws pounded by lusty youth
furnished the heavier and more interesting
notes. The whole combination made a
melody surprising the strains Of
the finest cathedral organs of
the old world, and so
worked upon the susceptibilities of the
geuty citizen that he tainted and was carried
into his house before he could read the
poetry on the car:
