NOBLE RED MEN.
GREAT CHIEFS OF FTHE IMPROVED Or
DER OF RED MEN IN THE CITY.

Five Thousand Dollars Distributed to the
Members of Th4t OrgsnizatIon-Dest
tute Families Were Cheered by Their
Generosity.
The Great Chiefs of the Improved Or
der of Red Men Of Pennsylvania, during
the past two days have been welcome WIS.,
itors in this city. They met the members
of Kickenapawling Tribe, No. 60, and
Kiskiminetas Tribe No. 66, at Upte-
graves Hall, on Locust street, yesterday,
and generously and with painstaking care
distributed about five thousand dollars
among the members who have suffered
by the great calamity.
The gentlemen in charge of the funds
were William G. Myers, Great Sachem
Thomas X. Donnelly, Great Chief of Re-
cords, and George w. Kramer, Great
Keeper of Wampum. These gentlemen
quietly and kindly performed their mis-
sion, and many destitute and suffering
families were cheered and made glad by
the visit OF these noble and distinguished
Red Men. Many of the benevolent organi-
cations of the State have been generous in
their help to the members Of their organi.
cations in this place, but in proportion to
the number of membership and wealth,
the Improved Order of Red Men is second
to none in good deeds of charity.
The Great Chiefs departed yesterday af
ternoon for Williansport, where they will
distribute the balance of their relief fund.

Our attention has been called to an ar
ticle in a Pittsburgh paper of yesterday
Sunday, in which, under the heading of
Miss Barton's Tea" that lady is repre-
sented as expressing very vigorous
views" upon the saloons, their occupants,
and occupations in this town. We were
present at that gathering, and we conf
IDENTIFY say that every person present will
bear testimony that not the slightest allu-
sion was made in any manner to this sub
ject, or to any other which could possibly
call in question the doings of any person
or class of citizens. Miss Barton would
naturallyInot be supposed to favor the too
free use of intoxicating liquors, but has
not the bad taste to invite the citizens of
this town to repast and make the occa-
sion an opportunity for public attack
upon their neignhors.

crazed, for they are of you, and the Sleep

you to despise; and creature here tell

| Correspondence of the Gazette.
HENRIETTA, Ten, Jan. 28.-The
corpse of Boone NARROW, the slayer of
Sheriff Wallace of Young county, was
brought through here on the way to Ora
| ham yesterday evening. He had been
killed in the Territory north of here two
days before by one Beavers and one Der
rickson, who took the body to Graham
to claim the reward of $500 that had
been offered for him, dead or alive.
The particulars of the killing are I'M
known, but it is said that Beavers and
DerricksOn attempted to arrest him, and
that he showed fight and was killed
What authority they had to make or at
tempt the arrest is not known. The par
ticulars will doubtless be brought to
light later.
MORE MINUTE DETAILS.
Special to the Gazette.
HENRIETTA, TEX, Jan. 29.-L1ttle
more has been learned of the killing of
Boone NARROW other than that sent to
THE GAZETTE yesterday. 1t occurred on
He'll Roaring creek, several miles east of
Fort Sill, l. T. 1t seems that NARROW
had an appointment to meet one Harbolt
at that place, and Mart Beavers and John
DerricksOn, finding it out, concealed
themselves at the appointed place TO cap
ture him. Their story is that when
NARROW approached where they were hid
den in the bushes they called to him to
throw up his hands, but instead he only
looked about him to see whence the voices
came and reached for his pistol, the only
weapon he had. They called to him the
second or third time to throw up his
hands, when he raised his pistol
and fired the ball striking q
tree behind which Beavers stood.
Beavers then opened fire on him with
shotgun loaded with buckshot, several
balls striking him in the head and face,
killing him instantly. AT the same time
Derrickson opened fire on him with Win
chester and claims to have shot him
through the body, though Sheriff Wright,
who examined the body when it was
brought through here, found no wounds
except those made by the buckshot. The
killing occurred on Thursday evening,
and Beavers and Derrickson started with
the body to Graham, passing through
here last Sunday, afternoon.
The above is in substance the story told
by them as since repeated to your re-
porter. Nothing further has since been
heard. They should have arrived at Ora
ham with the corpse about Monday noon.
1t is understood that a reward of $500
had been offered for the capture of Mar
low, dead or alive.

The board of railroad commissioners of
Missouri made an order recently in re-
gard to the shipment of mixed live stock
by weight, the system recently adopted
by some of the Missouri roads, instead of
the car lot system. The commissioners
hold that any excess in weight over the
minimum car load prescribed by the
statute-24 900 pounds for a car thirty
feet in length, must take the same rate
per 100 pounds as is charged for the
the minimum carloads. The carload
rates as prescribed by the statutes will
apply, on the aggregate, to the mini
mum carload weights for cars of various
lengths, and weights in excess of mini
mum carloads for cars of different
lengths will take the same rate per 100
pounds as applies to minimum carloads
in each case. The decision was made on
a complaint from Mexico, Mo-, by
shipper who had been charged at a rate
per 100 pounds exceeding the carload
rate.
