The New Indian Bill.

Messrs. Nelson. Peel and Perkins, the sub
committee of the house committee on Indian
affairs having in charge the appropriation
bill. have finished their work and the bill is
in the handR of the printer. Certain claims
which may be added to the bill after it is
placed in the hands of the full committee may
swell the present total of the bill, which is
about the same as last years act. Very few
changes in the existing condition OF things
are made, the bill being closely confined to
appropriations for thesupport of the indians.
It One of the few changes provides Poy1e
indian school for the White Earth
agency in Minnesota by allowing the school
one hundred Indian pupils at 81 so per year
each. Heretofore this school has been sup
ported in part by contributions from the gen.
eral fund which is supplied the commissioner
Of Indian affairs each year. Provision is al
so made for the support of Indian pupils at
st. Johns school and st. Vincent academy
as last year. Changes are made in the ad-
ministrative features OF the indian bureau on
ly by authorizing the commissioner of In
dian affairs to have made samples of cloth
ing and blankets which will be used as the
department standard for this work. Ordin-
arilv it il the habit of a bidder to send in q
sample of his goods with an agreement to
make such garment for such price. This
compels the Ipdian authorities to go through
all df the samples and select such as they de-
sire, and the cry Of f'''fav voritism" has been
freqentIy raised The new plan proposes t1
have bidders make their proposals upon the
department standards. This action would
prevent such difficulties as the Indian bureau
hos been lately having with Dobson G Co. of
Philadelphia over some ], 800 pairs of blank.
etg and which the board Of Indian commits.
sioneFs has been compelled to step in and
settle. The claims which the committee are
considering before insertion in the bill are

The mystery surrounding the finding ofthe
mutilated remains ofa murdered man in East
Fairmount Park IMP Philadelphia has been solv-
ed The corpse is identified and the murderer
in prison. The murder is shown to have been
diabolical one The motive ior the deed
was to obtain the money Of the murdered
man, but all that the murderer is known to
have realized by his dastardly crime is $50
The case has baffied the police authorities
since the finding of the body and many clues
have been run out.
A young man named Kee!er, residing near
Gilhngham and Cadwallader streets in Phil
adelphia, saw q cut of the murdered man in
one of the Sunday papers, which, he thought
resembl the features of German named
Schilling who had lived with another German,
named Schroop, at the corner of the above
named streets. He impaired his suspicious
to the police Of that district and WAS taken
to the mOrgue, and on looking ut the corpse
he Immediately identified it as that of Schil-
ling The police then brought Schroop's
daughter to the morgue and she also recog-
nzed the body as that of her fathers board
er, Antoine SChilling Officers were then sent
to SchroOps house and took him into GUS
tody. When the officers entered Schroop' s
house and informed him that they wanted
him ut the police station the German eXhib-
tied the most abject terror, and when taken
up the steps of the station house, his t"em-
bling limbs refused to support him and he
fell Several officers then carried him into
the lieutenant's room. Schroop is about so
years of age, and Schilhng, his victim, was
about 80 years old The two men were part
ners in a small grocery and provision store
at Gillingham and Cadwalladcr streets.
Schroop lived In the house with his wife and
daughter, and Schilling boarded with them.
By midnight Schroop had made a confes-
sion TO Chief Detective Wood, in which he ac.
knowledged killing Schiling 1t was also

A. G. Roberts, q tough citizen of Genoa,
Nebraska, was given a dose of reform at the
hands of Nebraska regulators, which will
probably make d lasting impression on his
mind. He has been in the habit Of insulting
ladies on the street, and one night entered
the apartment of two ladies, who were CON-
PEELED to flee In order to escape him. He was
arrested and put in JAIL About midnight q
body OF masked men took him to the woods
near town, put O rope around his neck, and,
throwing one end over stout limb, pulled
him up five times. He was still breathing
when lowered the fifth time, and the regula-
tors decided to spare his life. They left him
lying on the ground with a note pinned on
his clothes, telling him to leave the country
as soon as he came to. He has not been seen
since.

Bishop Dudley, while on a tour
through his diocese, arrived one
Sunday morning at settlement of
the toughest backwoodsmen. He
went TO a corner grocery to ask for
the use of the school house. The
spokesman for the crowd there as
sembled, through occasional trips to
town, had become enlightened CON-
cerning Episcopal ways.

you will agree not to wear them petit
coats OF yourn, he said
The bishop refused to agree to this
condition. Il intend to wear my
gown this morning, and if you OBJ
iect will preach to you in my shirt
sleeves tonight"
Both sides showed fight, but the
pluck of the bishop impressed a rough
blacksmith, who insisted that they
should give the person a show, and
they did.
After the morning service the same
horny hand was held out to the bis
hop with, "Parson, jest cail on me If

always thereafter he wore his gown

Detectives who have been limiting Tom Wal
lace, member of the Hatfield gang of mur-
derers, upon a requisition from Gov. Buckner
of Kentucky, found him at Flat Top mCun-
tain. When the detectives ordered him to
halt he drew a large revolver and opened fire.
The detectives returned the fire. and Wallace
fell to the ground mortally wou nded While
the dying desperate breathed his last he
confessed that he and Cap. Hatfield, the
mountain demon, was paid $50 each by u
deputy sheriff of Buchanan county. Va, for
killing Capt. McCOy about two years ago.
The murder money was placed in the hands
of Devil Ance'' Hatfield, the father of Cap
and was paid to them after the bloody work
was completed Wallace was captured once
before, but knocked the jailer down and es-
capped. His crime was peculiarly horrible
one. About two years ago Tom Wallace
stole away Miss Daniels a niece otJeff Mccoy
one Of the sons of Herman Mccoy, slain dur
ing the war. When the girl learned that
she had been made the victim OF q mock mar
rage, she left Wallace in Virginia and hid
with her friends in Kentucky. Wallace gave
Cap Hatfield $50 to help him recover the
girl. The two men crossed the Tug and went
to Nj. Daniels cabin. The old man was
sleeping in bed while his sick wife and one of
her daughters slept in another. Failing to
discover the hiding place of the fuGative, Cap
Hatfield wrapped the hairy part of a cows
tail about his fist and beat the invalid wom-
an with the heavy stump until she was al
most dead. Soon after JEFF McCov was in
Virginia, when he was seized nenr the mouth
of Thacker creek, by Capt. Hatfield and Tom
Wallace who took him to the woods and
prepared to kill him. McCoys mother waded
across the river and begged on her knees for
the life of her son. She was kicked and sont
back. Jeff struggled free from the cords
that bound him, and leaping in the river,
swan for his life. Wallace and Hatfield
stood on the West Virginia bank and kept
up fire on their victim. Mccoy had reached
the shore and was struggling up the bank.

News Generalities,

Since the Issue Of clothing to the Indians
at lower Brule and Crow Greek agencies took
place several weeks ago, Indians have been
in the city constantly with various articles
of wearing apparel and woolen blankets,
which they offer for sale at nominal price,
disreaarding the fact that in few weeks the
clothing will be necessary to their comfort,
when complaints will be sent out from the
agencies censuring the government for its
parsm onious treatment of the Indians.
The total eclipse of the sun, which was visi-
bic at Billings Montana, and occurred at
six minutes after three New Years day was
observed by the citizens of Billings generally,
and was, to the most of them, Q novel and
beautiful sight, the repetition af which it
may never be their privilege to behold again.
Scientific observers have been stationed
along the course of the total obscurity to
make reports of the phenomena for astro-
nomical purposes.
Private DaIzell writes to the Pittsburg Dis
patch under date of Caldwell, Ohio, Dec. 25,
saying that as a New Years gift to his COM
rade pensioners he informs them that $14,-
OOO, 900 awaits them in the United States
treasury. He says that not less then 400. 900
pensioners are entitled to receive from $25 to
$35 each by simply applying for it in Wash
ington as follows First, 5 cents per mile
cents daily for extra duty between April and
October, 1862; third, 28 cents daily while in
prison or on furlough. He says that not one
in ten Americans knows anything Of the le-
gality of such 0 claim.
Rev. BERNARD Donnelly, young assistant
to Rev. DR.. BurtzeI at the Church of the
Epiphany, in New York city, has gone crazy
from brooding over the McGlynn case, and
has been placed in an asylum. Father Dom
RelIy imagined at times, it was said, that he
was wear general of the archdiocese, and
talked queerly about setting certain matters
of ecclesiastical discipline. The case Of DR..
McGlynn seemed to trouble him more than
anything else. DIR. Burtzell, as Is well known,
is warm friend and admirer ofDr. McGlynn,
but Father Donnelly developed a hatred for
the former pastor of st. Stephens which ap-
peared to effect very seriously his mind.

Warned by White Caps.

1t isrcported that the White Caps have
again appeared at New Rochelle, N. Y. Ac-
eording to the latest story, Henry Seabright
was returning from party. He was driving
in buggy with a young lady. Shortly
after IL o'clock three men appeared in the
road. One of them grasped the horses bri-
die, while the second, it is alleged, presented
a revolver, and the third spoke as follows:
1--WE hereby warn both of you to stay in the
house evenings and not go into society so
much Do this or beware of the White Caps
nndtheir vengeance. When the White Cap had
finished speaking the horse was released, and
the young people in the carriage continued
on their way home. Mr.. Seabright, it is
said has already had two experiences with
these so-called regulators. The only reason
for stopping him and the young lady is that
the White Caps (f they are such) think that
he is wasting his time in the evenings by at
tending parties and other like entertain
ments. Before the White Caps allowed Mr..
Seabright to proceed on his way both he and
they young lady were made to promise that
they would go less into society. They made
this promise fearing personal violence in case
they shonld refuse. The name of the young
lady who accompanied Mr.. Seabright is
withheld by request Since the White Caps
first made their appearance the young ladies
in New Rochelle have really been afraid to go
about in the evening. 1t is not probable
the New Rochelle authorities will undertake
any decisive measures until they have COM
mitted other outrages like those in Ohio.
White Caps have begun business in Chica-
go. They have not also yet had time to car
ry out their threats, but the following letter
has been received by every alderman who has

to st: Louis by going in the trunk being too
poor to pay his railroad fare. The express
nan thought it risky but did not interfere
when Vines opened the trunk, jumped ill., and
snapped the lid shut with spring lock. The
trunk was put in the baggage room by the
expressman, the check for the trunk was in
the possession of Vines accOmplce. Vines
and the trunk went on hoard the train, and
the embezzler and his $4,000 were treated
as very common baggage for q distance OF
over hundred miles That was as long as
the embezzler could stand it. The air was
sitting and he had been tumbled over and
over until he was sore in every joint. On
making an Outcry he was released by the
baggage man. They did not put him off the
train, but sympathizing with his plea of pow
erty, allowed him to travel tho remairHcr of
the journey in passenger car. The trunk
was carelessly closed by the truinmcn, and
it's contents left undisturbed. At st. Louis
the trunk could not be obtained by Vines
without the check, and his confederate did
not put in anappearance. Considerable pity
was expressed by the depot men for Vines,
and a small collection was taken up to buy
him q dinner and supper. His strange story
reached the ears of the police and aroused

received rom the Chicago authorities and a
reading Off resulted in the dispatch of an
officer to arrest the fugitive. Vines was tax

master to disregard the usual regulation
about checks and give up the trunk.
