THOUSANDS OF TELEGRAMs.
He Gets Mail by the Wagon Load
DalIy-Unable TO Reply to Them
all Handsome Floral oTer-
ings-.Bis Action all Along.


INDIASAPoLis, IND, Nov. 12.-The
President.elcct passed tho day very
quietly at his residence, receiving a
goodly number of neighbors and home
friends who called, and reading his let.
ters and eastern papers. Since the day
Of his election General Harrison's mail
has steadily increased until it has now
reached mammoth proportions. This
morning it required two express wagons
to haul the bundles OF letters and bags
ofnewspapers that had arrived since Sat
urday. About fifteen hundred letters
and several bags of newspapers COM
prised to.day's mail.
Heretofore Gen. Harrison has aimed
to reply to every letter, il only to ac-
knowledge its receipt, but with such an
extraordinary increase he now finds that
the task OF replying TO eacb letter will
be too great for him to undertake, as it
would more than occupy his entire time.
In view OF these circumstances, Gen.
Harrison this evening requested the
correspondent OF the Associated Press TO
publicly convey his cordial thanks to the
several thousand friends throughoutthe
nation who had telegraphed or sent by
letter their warm expressions of con-
graduation and best wishes. He was
very particular TO impress upon the cor.
respondent that it would have afforded
him real pleasure to personally acknowl-
edge the receipt OF every communication,
and up to to-day this was his intention.
Dnring the entire campaign, and in
spite OF the invidious personal attacks
made upon him here in Indiana, he
never once, in his seventy-nine speech
es, degenerated into personalities OF any
kind, either directly or indirectly, al.
thongh the occasion in one or two in
stances to his friends, seemed to justify
some reference, but he followed his own
dignifed discretion, and continues now
to be governed. by the same considerate
impulses.
Among the Generals kilograms and
letters withheld from the public out OF
these considerations Of propriety and
refreshing modesty, are many OF
prime interest at this time, notably
letters from such celebrities as Gen.
Sherman, Senator Frank Hiscock, Joseph
Medill and others. Numerous presents
came by to-day's mail, but the one most
priced came by express from Mobile,
Ala, from Wm. Henry Harrison Minge.
1t was n floral log cabin, constructed OF
red and roofed with yellow crysan-
themums, daisies and rose buds, while
around it was a miniature garden filled
with ferns and wild grass, the whole
presenting d unique effect in striking
contrast to the several plain log cabins
found in the house.

SIR:-Republicans Of Preston county
are jubilant over the general result, and
send greeting to their brethren through.
out the State. They confidently cling to
to the hope that the gallant Gofr is the
Governor elect; that the Hon. John w,
Mason will grace the bench OF the Su-
preme Court, and that others on the
State ticket will be found TO have ma
iorities, though somewhat atsmaller. Our
rejoicing is marred by the loss OF the
intrepid Flick, whose vote in this conn-
ty is four ahead OF Gof and ten ahead OF
Harrison. Although heroic effort was
made to elect him, the failure is due TO
his inability on account OF his impaired
health, to add TO the enthusiasm OF the

sections OF the district.
Your correspondent ut Grafton in his
dispatch dated November Sth, published
on the 9th, does great injustice to the

patch compares the present majority on
the ticket with the majority for Max

when the Greenbackers voted with US,
which comparison shows gain Of only
seven for the present ticket, whereas
the comparison should be nude with
the majority for Blainei in 1884. Blaine's
majority was l,3l0; Harrison's majority
is 1884, showing a gain Of 2S4 in the

special says: James Jordan, lately arrived
from the Arctic Ocean on the schooner
Era, relates the circumstances Of the
death of John Bull, an Esquimau sailor,
who, with his wife left Groton, Conn,
to hunt the whale. Jordan says John
Bull met terrible death at the hands of
the natives for some transgression of
the Esquimau law, whose edicts are
executed something after the manner OF
the cold hlooded Italian Mafia. Two
weeks before the tragedy his wife was
notified, according to custom, Of his
coming death az the hands OF his coun-
trymen, but under pain OF death, could
not acquaint him with the information.
When the day arrived he was decoyed
out OF the village by two companions to
the place designated, when he was pros
trated on his back.
Then the leader delivered short
speech, and called on the man selected
to advance and stab him through the
heart, while he opened the victims
clothing and pointed out the place. The
native first chosen stepped forward, but
became so nervous that his heart failed
him, and a second man was called upon
to plunge the fatal knife. Poor John
Bull was firmly held by the twelve as
sembled friends and literally butchered,
his body being left on the spot prey
for bears aud other wild animals which
infest the country, Bull and his family
were brought here seven years ago to

was concluded, Mr.. Bull and family took

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Marx Lane
Express review OF the past week says:
The changeable weather has favored
wheat sowing and the planting of the
1880 crop has progressed TO such an ex-
tent as to make the outlook favorable
beyond what the average seasons afford,
and conducive to an increased area be-
ing sowed. The sales OF the week have
been 90, ,422 quarters at Sis Sd, against
57.705 quarters at sos cd during the cor
responding period last year.
Country flour is very dull. The bar
ley trade drags. The price OF oats tends
upwards, Foreign wheat buyers are de.
pending upon the increasing Of wnter.
side stocks with free shipments from
Europe and the large quantity aaoat,
and also upon the'expected collapse OF
the speculative movement in the United
States to serve their present purposes.
The receipts have been large, amounting
to 1874, ,647 quarters for the week. There
is some inquiry for finer grades of for.
eign flour; American patents are Cd
dearer. Corn is steadier and prices arc
against buyers. Foreign barleys are
firm.

A Gang of oklahama Outlaws Drive on
Valuable Kansas Horses.
TOPEKA, KAs., Nov. l2.-The people Of
Norton county, on the Indian Territory
line, are very much excited over the at
tacks OF gang OF horse thieves from No
Mans Land. Twelve desperados, head
ed by the notorious outlaw, Bill Doty,
came up from the Territory Friday night
for the purpose of driving off all the
horses in the southern part Of the coun-
ty. They commenced with Capt. Mil
Ions herd Of thirteen thoroughbred.
The horses we're released from the stables
and started in the direction Of the Terri
tory. The remainder OF the gang then
visited every ranch in the county and
took possession OF every horse OF any
value. When they reached the farm Of
james L. Horton he and his two sons
showed fight and will three guns made
it very warm for the DOty crowd. The
desperadoes were too much for them,
however, and captured them and tied
them to q fence where they were found
four hours later by friends. The thieves
secured sixty head OF horses and started
for the 0klahama county. They had
game but short distance when they
were oYertaken by posse Of Norton
county farmers. A desperate fight
eusued, during which George Hill, one
OF the thieves, was fatally wounded.

the naked body OF well developed male
infant upon the lake shore. The head
had been cleanly severed from the body
by a stroke FROM somesharp instrument,
and was missing. Not the slightest clue
to the identity OF the murderer has been
obtained by the police. What adds to
the mystery is the fact that the murder
er left the body where it was sure to be
discovered within very short time, in
stead Of throwing it into the lake, which
was only few steps distant.

THlRTY BODIES RECOVERED.
Tho Kansas Mine Horror-Not so had rs
First Thought, but Terrible Enough.

PrTrsBURGH, KAN, Nov. l2.-The &C
counts Of the mine disaster at Front
enac have been SO largely overdrawn
that it is deemed proper for the inior-
nation Of the public that at least one
true statement Of the facts should be
officially given. There has been up to
Sunday evening at six o'clock thirty
nine dead bodies recovered and about
twenty wounded and 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 under
ground workings for any bodies which
may possibly be left there, but 1t is
thought they are all now discovered and
included in the list OF killed and
wounded. There were originally about
$50 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.
Officials of the company are on the
ground from Topeka and all is being
done that can be for the relief OF the
suffering and distress OF all the wounded
men and destitute families. Girard,
LitchGeld and this city have turned out
nobly with all sorts OF aid, and there
will be funds raised at once for all neces-
sary expenses. Twenty bodies, mostly
OF unknown men and foreigners, are to
arrive in this city at 10 o'clock to-day
and taken from the depot to the ceme-
terry, where some appropriate ceremony
viii be held. 1t is expected there will |
be large concourse OF citizens attend
the funeral and most business houses
will be closed.
