LAST OF THE APACHES.

NOGALES, Ariz., Oct. lit is reported
on what seems 10 be good authority that
the last remnant of Chief Geronimo's
gang of renegade Apache Indians have
been captured in the Sierra Madre noun
tains, in Sonora, Mexico. There were
four bucks, two squaws and two boys, and
it is said they have been taken to
Hermosillo. The leader of the band was
one Elias, Mexican, and one of the
toughest characters in the southwest. He
has been with the Apaches, more or
less, for several years, and little
over two years ago, when Geronimo and
his band surrendered, he led the small
gang just captured which refused to sur
rendered and escaped to the hills. For the
past two yeafs they have committed deeds
OF deviltry along the border and in the in
terror of both Sonora and Chihuahua. 1t
was their especial delight TO roam over the
Sierra Madres and murder luckless pros
pectors, and many lonely murders are at
tributed to their thirst for human
blood. Elias is well connected, many
of his relatives in Sonora occu-
plying high social and official pcs. tons, but
he seems to have lost sense of civilizing
influences, and has for several years beeu
one of the most brutal and daring allies
the noted Apache chief had. 1t was
through him that the renegades during
the last campaign managed TO go boldly
into the settlements and villages and pur-
chase supplies and ascertain the move
ments OF the government troops.
Peaceable settlers held him in
great fear. and they would
at times TO do his bidding, be the task
ever so heavy or so hazardous When
captured he and his party claimed TO be
Mexicans authorities, declaring that they
would not go into the United States, and
especially San Carlos Notwithstanding
the many heinous crimes they have COM
mittee il is not likely that their punish
ment will be severe

THE RALEIGH BANK DEFAcATIoM


RALEIGH, n. c., Oct. 11.-This city was
thrown into state of great excitement
this morning. when it was announced
that Charles Ee Cross, ex-president ofthe
State National bank. had sworn out a
warrant before T. r. Purnell, United
States commissioner, against E. r. Stamps
and w. s. Primrose, the former at one
time president, and the latter a director
in the bank The warrant charges
Stamps with making false en-
tries on the back of sundry discounted pa
pers. 1t further charges that the said
Stamps did, from time to time, during the
years 1886 1887 and 1855. make false state
ments OF the condition of said bank,
knowing them TO be false
The warrant charges Primrose with
making false statements from time, to
time OF the condition of the bank during
the years 1884, 1855, 1886, 1887, 1SSS, he
knowing said statements TO be false.
The warrant was placed in the hands of
Deputy United States Marshal Rogers TO
be served, with instructions to hold the
same up until the return Of Stamps, be be
ing now at Richmond, Va
Cross this afternoon publishes the fol-
lowing card over his signature:
After mature thoughts, l conclude to
pursue the above course, not for the pur-
pose OF getting Stamps and Primrose in
trouble, but simply to prove to the
good people of this city and
the state of North Carolina, be-
yond every question of doubt, chat what
nave said as to the condition of the State
National bank at the time took the pres
loency OF the same, also the manner in
which was induced to take charge of said
bank, is true. This is the only way can
conceive of to get at the facts. I sincerely
hope the odenses charged against Stamps
and Primrose are barred by statute of
limitation. l merely want everybody TO

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

In the League New York cannot be
overhauled in their race for the pennant,
as the lead they have is too large, and the
closing of the championship series on their
own grounds, combined with the fact that
they only have few more games to play,
renders 1t Impossible Tor them TO he
beaten.
Yesterdays games show the Giants &c
have won 81 out of 100 games. Chicago
has comfortable hold on second place,
having won Il out of 135 games played
Philadelphia is third, followed closely by
Pittsburg, while Detroit and Boston are
treading closely on the heels Of the Smoky
City lads. Washington, as usual, brings
up the tail end
ST. Louis has for the fourth consecutive
time won the American association pen
ant. Brooklyn and the Athletics are tied
for second place, while Cincinnati is close
behind them. Kansas City is at the bot
tom of the list. St. Louis has won 80 out
of 132 games played, herpercentage stand
ing at .692. Brooklyn and the Athletic IS
per cent stand at .615 each, and Cincin-
MATHS at $50
The championship series in the Western
association has closed, the returns show
ing Des MONIES the permanent winners
by one game, and Kansas City second. The
Des Moines have played 1l5 games and
won a; Kansas City played III games and
won 10. The per cent of the two clubs are:
Des Moines .643 Kansas City .64l. Mana
ger Menges of the Kansas City's has gone
to protest two games which were TO
be played between Sioux City and
Des Moines and which were not played.
The games. however, were given to the
latter club. If Mr.. Menges succeeds in
his mission it will place Kansas City the
pennant winners OF the American associa-
ton.
Arrangements have been completed be-
tween the Giants, winners of the League
pennant, and the Browns, winners of
the American association pennant, for
the playing of the series OF
nine games for the worlds championship.
Three of the games will be played in New
York, three in St. Louis, one each in Phil
adelphia and Cincinnati. 1t is not decided
where the remaining game will be played.
