An Atchison man received a teie-
gram from his father. who is in Col
oradO, yesterday, ordering him to come
there immediately to take position.
The young man in question was mar
ried secretly at st. Joe in January last,
and although he has been living at his
home in this city ever since, his par
ents had never been informed of the
fact. The young wife was living in
North Atchison, where he visited her
at regular intervals. The necessity of
his sudden departure from the city
placed him in a terrible dilemma. He
did not have money enough to take her
with him, and he was afraid to do so
even if he had had the money. He
finally gathered up his courage, and
told her that he was going away, and
that he must leave her for a while.
She, fearing that he intended to desert
her, fell in dead faint. The young
man then went to his mother, and told
her of the secret marriage, of his visits
to the house of the girls mother, ETC..
and asked if he could not leave his
wife at his home until he returned.
The mother upon learning the story,
forgave her son. and took the young
wife, who is not yet Is. TO her heart
and home. The young man who is
just 20, departed for Colorado in good
spirits

Found Dead ina manhoIe.

CINCINNATI,- July 27.-The body of
Col. a. E. Jones was found this morn
ing in a manhole not far from his resi-
dence, murdered and robbed. The
murder of DIR. A. E. Jones, Familiarity
known as Colonel Jones. is one of the
most shocking occurrences that could
have occurred in Cincinnati. The col
onel was in his seventy-SeVenth year,
but was as active as man of fifty. He
had always had an inclination to mil
itary life, and kept it up by holding Il
connection with the Ohio National
Guards, serving for a long time as sur
geon of the First regiment. Governor
Foraker, who was his neighbor, ap-
pointed him a member of his staff as
surgeon general. He had been active
in public affairs, serving often in the
municipal council, and had besides
held several offices under appointment
from the general government. He
was perhaps more widely known in
Cincinnati than any other citizen.
DR.. Jones left his house about 2:30
Thursday afternoon, wearing no coat,
his feet in slippers and went in the di-
rection of his stable. He asked what
time it was, though wearing his watch.
That was the last seen of him alive.
The family did not become alarmed
their search quietly until yesterday
when notice was given to the police.
During the day yesterday train was
discovered opposite the doctors stable
on Cemetery street, and being followed
WAS traced to Park avenue, thence
south, two or three squares to
the junction of Cypress avenue and
Francis Lane, where on the grass was
quite pool of blood.
1t was here in man hole of
the sewer that the man was found
this morning. 1t was wrapped in
horse blanket, or rather sewed
up, SO that it was drawn out by means
of a rope fastened around it by a man
who had been lowered for that pur-
pose. The body had been doubled up
compactly as if for convenience in
carrying, and it is apparent that the
trail OF blood was that which trickled
from his wounds as his murderer car
ried him to the place where he thought
to conceal forever the trace of his
crime, for he hoped the water would
carry the body Into the river. 1t was
found that the doctors gold watch and
his money were gone, and this must
have been the motive for his murder
as the doctor had not an enemy in the
world. The police are already making
arrests, among them being Charles
Bligh, the colored hostler, who had
been with Col. Jones about two
months.
There was but single wound. 1t
was upon the back part of the head
and slightly on the right side as if the
blow had been given behind. The
theory now prevalent is that the muir
derer wac Chas Bligh, the colored ser
want and that after committing the
crime he hid the body until night and
then putting it in sack he carried it
to its place Of conceaIment. B ligh
was at the house all day yesterday and
told of his last interview with the colo
mel. When he left last night he said
be would return at $50 this morning
but he has not yet been found. A hoe
in the st able bears marks which are
pronounced blood stains.

Dead in a ManhOIe.
Marriage ofPrincess Louise Vic
tOria Alexandra Dagmar.
Supposed to be Lost = Charged
With Murder.

TAHLEQUAH, 1. T., July 27.-When |
principal chief, Mayes, of the Cherokee |
Nation was questioned as to the atti-
tude of his people concerning the on
coming conference with the United
States commissioners, he said, speak
in correct English: 1.-THE gentlemen
will be treated with the utmost courte-
sy, but if they came here to nego-
tiate sale or any proposition to sell,
their labors will avail them and their
government nothing. In the first
place the Cherokees don't want to sell
to anybody, and in the second place
their constitution forbids any such
transaction The chief then pro-
duced copy of the Cherokee constitu-
ton and read the prohIbitory section.
The only way this can be amended"
he added, lis by giving public notice
| six months before general election,
and no such election will be held here
for two years. Therefore, any, and all
legitimate efforts on the part of the
United States to transact a treaty
with the Cherokee Nation for the sale
I of lands, cannot possibly mature for
two years. Now, l understand, the
| idea of the government is to show that
/ it contains certain flaws. OF course 1T
is natural that any eXpedient, however
unfair, should be adopted by the gov
eminent. The CherokeeS refuse to sell
but they will undertake a monstrOus
task when they attempt to undermine
our patent. We had in black and
white the words of President Andrew
Jackson, giving this land to the Chero-
KEGS as long as the grass
grows and the water flows. Moreover,
our title has again and again been con
firmed by the executive, legislative and
judicial branches of the government
and several inferior courts have held
similarly. The Cherokees, therefore,
will have cause to be extremely sus-
piciOus, if the commission begins its
labOrs by assailing our titles. Chief
MayeS was then asked if be would
call an an extra session of the council
to consider the proposition of the com
missioners, but he refused to commit
himself on this point. General Ross
the leader of the opposition party, has
several articles of impeachment against
MayeS ready to present to the next
council and the chief is naturally
somewhat retecent about precipitatinl
a discussion on his Impeachment, Sc
an extra session is doubly improbable
The commissioners spent large par
of their time yesterday at the capito
of the five civilized tribes at Muscogee
where they outlined a plan of opera
tions, beginning at Tahlequah Mon
day. Gen. Fairchild thinks that they
will take about ten minutes to end thu
Cherokee conferences, If MayeS re
mains as Indifferent as he is at pres
ent.

million acres will not be opened this
year. Commissioners Rice, Martin

outlook After suggesting many ques

to the Nelson bill, the Indians took a
decided stand against opening any
portion of the White Earth reservation
to settlement. There have been sew

are not in good humor, so that it will
be a difficult task to secure their con-
sent. The commission has been in ses-
