Arickarees were sent over to the east side

that they would be mis- taken for Sioux by
settlers if they went upon the west side of
the Missouri.
AnIngenuous Young Rsdskin.
A correspondent talked with an Arick-
aree youth concerning the feeling among
the Sioux on the reservation whom the
Arickarees have been visiting. He said;
THE Sioux are in good shape for a fight;
they have plenty of ammunition and also
have all the jer ked beef they got off the
prairies after the late prairie fire, when
several hundred cattle were burned TO
death. The Arickarees are friendly with
the whites and we don't want TO fight
ourselvs, but we would like TO see the
Sioux go on the warpath because it would
mean larger rations for all the Indians in
the Dakotas.

REPUBLICAN HOPES IN KENTUCKY
Democratic Dispute Gives Chances of
Electing q State Officer.

The republicans are making strong effort
to elect q state officer in Kentucky this year on
the strength Of a slight misunderstanding
among the democrats. The officer is the clerk
OF the court of appeals The democrats have
nominated Woodford Longmoor, a one-legged
ex-confederate, who. in the convention held
May rs last declared for the nomination Of
Maj. George Mattanday, an ex-federal soldier
1t Is upon this circumstance that the republi-
cans base their hopes, for they say Longmoor
was selected solely upon his war record Maj
Adams is the present secretary of state and
served in Congress for three terms, after which
he was twice clerk of the national House of
Representatives. He made q hard struggle for
the nomination, but after the convention had
been deadlocked for two days Longmoor Sc
cured the prize. There were charges of sharp
practice on both sides, and Mai Adams was SO
indignant over the outcome that he has refused
to indorse the nomination of his rival, al
though his candidacy was supported by Gov
Buckner, an ex-confederate general and other
confederates. He feels very bitter toward the
men who defeated him and has declined to 90
upon the stump. The republicans have taken
advantage of this trouble to nominate Judge
j. II. Tinsley Of Barberville to oppose Mr.
Longmoor. Judge Tinsley is making a canvass
upon the issue that in Kentucky the Union SOL
diers have been ignored and the confederates
have received all the offices. The republicans
have hopes that a revolution of feeling NAV
take place and their candidate may be elected
The election will take place on Monday, Au-
gust 4.

SISTER CATHARlNE.
Miss Kate Drexel to Continue Her

1t was rumored yesterday in Pittsburg that
Miss Kate Drexel, the Philadelphia heiress,
who, under the name of Sister Catharine. is
making her nOvitiate at tie Convent of the
Sisters of Mercy, Pittsburg had been sent east
to enter another house of the order A re-
porter made inquiry at the convent and learned
that Sister Catharine had gone to Philadelphia
three weeks ago in company with another
sister to transact business requiring her per-
sonal attention, but returned last week and will
continue her term Of probation in the Pitts
burg house. Miss Drexel is described as being
as firm a. ever in her determination to become
a recluse. One year ago last May she entered
the convent and in November of last
year took the veil, but until two
years and a half have elapsed from the
time of her taking the veil she is free to return
to the world At the expiration of that period.
ii her resolution remains mistaken. she will
take the VOWS which will shut her out from the
world forever. Sister Catharine enjoys no
special distinction among her associates on ac-
count of her wealth and prominence She has
the same probationary labors and corporal pri-
yaUons as her sister novices and is Obliged
Ike them, to strive for the effacement of self
IL spirit of absolute humility During the
winter and spring SISTER Catharine studied the
functions OF a MUGS at the Mercy Hospital
with IA degree of diligence and devotion to
which many a sufferer has furnished thankful
testimony. Later on she assisted the teachers
IN the academy attached TO the Mercy Convent
and also helped the two sisters who have
charge of a co!ored school on Fulton street
under the auspices of the Fathers Of the Holy
Ghost. She will continue this work during the
coming year.

CATTLEMEN RUN A STEAMSHIP.
Ihey lntimidate the Crew, Break Things
and Get Arrested I'm Port.

For the second time in as many weeks an
English steamer came into New York yesterday
with her Union Jack down. The police boat
patrol responded at once and found the steamer
to be the Chicago, Capt. Morgan, Of the Wilson
line, which left London July TO- Capt. Morgan
made a formal charge against three of the
tWenty-seven cattlemen who were passengers
by the Chicago and turned them over to the
police. These men, aided by the others, Capt
Morgan says, intimidated his crew, insulted
him and broke into and stole a portion of the
ships cargo. The cattemen were given omar
trs under the after turtle deck and, as is Gus
tonary. signed the ships articles In order To
avoid landing at the barge Office. The crew OF
the steamer numbered only twelve men and
when the cattlemen began on the sec

pens on deck and were demonstrated
with they threatened to take posse ssion OF the
ship. Capt. Morgan found discretion the

captain found the after matches had been
broken open, and, as the cargo in this portion
OF the ship consisted Of Bass ale. he placed n
guard over the hatch. While this place wa,

SUNK BY A COLLISION.
The Steamship Marand Run Down by an
Unknown Schooner.

Steamship ID. H Miller, Capt. G. W. Bill
lups from Baltimore, arrived at Boston last
evening, having on board twenty persons who
had been picked up from open boats 1T sea.
The unfortunates were the captain, his wife and
nine-year-old daughter and the crew of the
British steamship Charles Marand, bound from
New York to Vera Cruz. The Charles Marand
was commanded b. Capt. W. II. Marshall and
hailed from Liverpool. She was an iron steam
ship OF Asa tons register and valued at $50, 900.
Her cargo comprised case petroleum consigned
to the Standard Oil Companys agent at Vera
Cruz. She had a crew of eighteen men, many
Of whom shipped from New York on Thursday.
Capt. Marshall says that his vessel was run
down by an unknown schooner about l:30
o'clock Saturday morning when fully fifty
miles northeast Of the Delaware lightship.
The Marand was on her course sailing due
south, and the watch first saw the schooner ten
minutes before she struck. He called the chief
mate, William Brown, of Dublin, Ireland, who
IN turn called the captain. When he came on
deck Capt. Marshall says he saw that the
schooner was bearing straight down ON them
He changed the course OF the steamship to
avoid collision but the man at the wheel of
the schooner at once changed his course and a
second later the bow OF the schooner struck
the Marand just amidship on the starboard
side.
All was confusion for the next quarter OF an
hour. The schooner veered off without tender
ing assistance, not deigning to answer the
shouts Of those on board the steamship. The
force of the collision carried away the MAIN
mast of the Marand, tore away the davits and
starboard boats and made hole in the side
eight to ten feet square. The stern compart-
ment quickly filled with water. and as the ves-
sci was sinking all hands took to a boat and &c
off. At daylight there was a heavy sea on, and
fearing lest the boat should swamp and all
perish, Capt. Marshall boarded the steamer,
which was then keeled to the starboard and
after much difficulty cut loose the remaining
boat. The crew were then divided between
the two open boats.
These were only kept float by constant bail
ing. At 10 o'clock in the morning the exhausted
crew sig hted the Miller. After an hours ex-
citing maneuvering to keep from swapping the
boats in the heavy sea all hands were gotten on
Loard. where Mrs. Marshall and her little girl
were made comfortable.
Before they were picked up, however, they
saw the Marsnd go down stern first. The cap
tain and his wife lost all their effects while the
crew are stranded with only the clothes they
stand III.
What became Of the schooner is unknown,
but IL is believed she went down with her
crew. The Charles Marand was q schooner
rugged screw steamship, 1880 tons, valued al
$50, 600 built in 1884. belonging to the Marand
Steamship Company.

BUNCOED OUT OF $4,000.
The Familiar Swindling Game Played
on q New York Farmer.

Samuel Kelsey, a wealthy farmer residing
near Clyde, NY, was victim Of the confidence
game Saturday to the tune of $4,000. About
o'clock a well-dressed man drove up to Mr.
Kelsey's house and inquired for him. On his
coming out the stranger represented himself
to be the son-in-law Of a prominent citizen of
Lyons, and understanding that Mr.. kelsey had
farm to sell desired to look it over. The farm
referred to was about two miles west of MIR.
kelsey's place OF residence and they went to it.
After much talk the farm was purchased at a
good price and they started for home. On the
way they were met by two more men, seemingly
with lots Of money. Mr.. Kelsey and the pur-
chaser of the farm stopped. After a little chat
the two accomplices, for such they were, began
playing cards by the roadside. They had
amused themselves for short time, when the
man with Kelsey applied for admission to the
game, which was OF course granted. They
played several games, during which money was
profusely displayed before the victims eyes,
kelseys man claimed to be the winner to the
amount OF Sl0, 900. The losers admitted that
the money was fairly won but refused to give
it up till the other showed that he could pro-
duce $4,000. The fellow looked chagrined and
turned to Mr.. Kelsey. Mr.. Kelsey. doubtless
thinking of his beautiful bargain of few hours
before offered to back him. The stranger ex-
pressed his qualification for the kindness and
"ceeP.eu .ne onor, provldlng Mr. Kelsey would
accept half of the $4,000 upon its receipt, to
which plan Mr.. Kelsey readily assented and
started for the Briggs National Bank to draw
the money. As Kelsey started the other. two
rolled the money up in a package and handed
1t to the man with Kelsey. Kelsey reached the
bank, drew the money and started for home
with the stranger. On the way the fellow
handed Kelsey the package which was alleged
to have contained the money won, telling him
to keep 1t as a security till he returned, which
would be within two days, while Kelsey handed
him %, 900 in cash.
Kelsey was left at his house under the SUD-
position that he had $4,000 in his package,
while the stranger continued on to exhibit
the $4,000 to the other two and, unfortunately
for MIR. Kelsey, he kept on continuing until he
Is now out Of reach. Mr.. Kelsey on opening
the package found nothing but some worthless
papers. As soon he could reach town he laid
the matter before the police and every effort il

DEVASTATED LAWRENCE.
Something About It's Plan and Its
Former Sad Experienced

South Lawrence is the name given to that
portion OF tho manufacturing city Of Lawrence
lying distance Of twenty-six miles from Bos-
ton on the south side of the Merrimac river.
| IL contains within the corporate limits 2,0l2
acres, only 16l acres less than is on the north
side OF the stream. The city proper is on the
north side Of the river. In the course OF the
last few years, as the population on the north
side has grown more and more congested, the
southern section has become attractive as q
place for homes for the employees Of the mills
and has grown rapidly.
Although it is recognized 20 q district for
homes, there are, nevertheless. several manufac-
turing establishments on that side Of the power
furnishing stream. Along the bank are the
mills OF the Farwell bleachery. the Stedman
Smith Company, Clegg d Fisher. Butler Il
Robinson. Merrimac Paper Company, Munroe
These are supplied with power from the Merri-
mac by means of q canal emptying into the
Shawsheen river. On the south side, too. are
the passenger station Of the main line OF the
Boston and Maine railroad and the Boston and
Maine car shops. At the eastern end of Spring
field street, which marks the center of the path
followed by the terrific windstorm, is Union
Park an open pleasure ground, containing IL Il
acres. From this square the street extends two
blocks to the Boston and Maine car shops
proper.
The city Of Lawrence was founded by the
Essex Company in 1874. and contained in 1S45
100, in 1e47 5000 and in 1880 800 inhabitants.
1t took its name from Abbott Lawrence a
wealthy and philanthropic Boston merchant,
who was one of its founders The Merrimac
river at this point is 1000 feet wide, and
powerful stone dam across it gives fall to the
water Of IS feet and power equal to 10000 horse
power.
The history Of the city has been hitherto
marred by two disasters. August l6. 1882 a
hotel, church, Essex county court house and
several stores were destroyed by fire, and two
fremen perished January 10. 1860, the Penn
berton mill, building fire stories high. fell
without a moments warning on account of the
thin walls and insufficient support. There
were 200 persons in the mill when the crash
came, and Of these ia were killed and All were
injured.
The general course Of the Merrimac river at
Lawrence is east and west. High hills consti-
tute its banks above the city. and these form
sort OF tunnel through which wind storms from
the northwest strike with great force, passing
down the river and off toward iaverhill. 1t
was one Of these wind storms which caused Sat-
urdays havoc No such storm was ever known
in that section before.
