night he was visited by a friend,

had met in n boat at the head Of
South Seventh Street, aud, over
heard 10y the friend, had plotted to
strangle and rob SeblitZkic, and
throw his LOdy in the river. The
riugleaier gave as reason that
Sebliizxie had won the affections Of
his sweetheart, while the others
were more than willing, on account
Of the money aud jewelry their in
tended victim always carried IN his
pocket. Ii is more than suspected
that this preaching friend was in
the plot, as he feared for his life and
left the city today, taking his effects.
Seblitzkie is frightened almost out
of his wits and is preparing to re-
turn to Poland ut once. He says
the MEN are banded together and
will strangle him once 1t has been
decided. In this sudden disappear
ance Of his friend S-blitzkie has lost
his only witness, and the law refuses

He repeats in detail the stories
which have been told the Indians
by the medicine men, and adds:
''Sitting Bull is q high priest AMI
leading apostle Of this latest Indian
absuniity. In word, he is a chief
mischiefmaker ut this agency, and
IL he were not here, this craze so
great among the Sioux would never
have gotten a fOothold at this agen-
cy. He has been the disturbing ele-
ment since his return from COnfine-

spring Of 1883, but has been grow

partly to be accounted for by the

Lere on the Denver d Fort Worth

Company began business in Sepiefl-

were distributed throughout the

These announced that the company
were giving away lots for the price
of recording them, say 81 so and \
two-cent postage stamp, which was
necessary to return the deed. In
July T91 deeds were returned 10 the
company with the necessary $3.50
and a postage stamp. to be recorded.
The only house within six miles Of
PIainfield is Pierce's own house.
The secret Of the scheme lay in the
recording Of the deeds, the county
recorder receiving 80 cents for each
deed and the company pOcketing
the balance. By this deal the com
pauy had cleared nearly 5000,
great deal more than they paid for
the whole property. The recorder

A spirifuaiisiie Fraud.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 27.-There was a
riot at the Pickwick Theatre tc-
night, precipitated by an audience
that had been guided. For some
days past the town has been plas-
tered with hand bills and posters
announcing that last night Professor
Alex johnson and Miss Kate Bangs
would give an exhibition exposing
modern spiritualism. Incidentally
$500 reward was offered for a correct
explanation Of any Of the tricks
done before the formal exposure was
made from the stage.
As n result Of the extensive acs
vertising the house vas packed.
The first trick Introduced was the
old Davenport rope affair, but the
acconpllrcs from the audience
bungled their work and the Pro
fessor could not get loose. Then he
pleaded innocence, telling the audi
ence that his name was not johnson
and that he had been engaged only
that day for the occasion.
Fraud was written all over the
face Of the lecturer and the audience
arose en- mdSse. One half made for
the stage, the other half for the box
Cffice. The treasurer had dlsap-
peared and the women also had
flown; but the lecturer was captured
and after very rough treatment was
hustled off to Jail. He DECLARES that
he was only employed today. His
name is Edward Eirod.

Dissatisfied Indians.

ST.. Louis. Oct. 2T.-News comes
ffom the Chickasaw Indian nation
that much dissatisfaction exists
among the Indians there because
Of the granting Of a charter by the
Chickasaw government to about
twenty men, giving them absolute
control Of all gold and precious
mineral found Ia n section Of the
Arbuckle mountains twenty-five
miles square. They claim that this
charter has been granted TO n few
scheming white men and that a
number Of the Legislators, with Gov
ernor Boyd, nave been taken into
the company on the ground floor
and that the whole proceeding Is
wrong. Several prominent Indians
were to leave for Washington today
TO lay the matter before the Interior
Department aud procure, if possible
the annuimeut Of tile charter and
have the gold-prOduciDg lands
placed under the same laws that
govern gold and silver mining In

THE PRESIDENT APPROVES
The Conduct OF Minister Miner In
The Barrundia AFFAIR.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-rhe Her
ads Washington correspondent
says IL is understood that Minister
Miner, our minister TO Central
America, has received from Secre-
tary Blaine ASSURANCES Of the ap-
pro val Of the President of lis con-
duct in the Barrundia case and has
been fully justified In the course he
pursued. This information comes
from the City u Guatemala, where
il appears the state department was
most anxious that the information
should be first officially promulga-
gated. The reason for this is that as
the President had no intention Of
recalling him, 1t was deemed i'm
pOrtant, in view Of the steIs taken
in Congress to obtain the state de-
partment correspondence, that the
Central American governments
should know as speedily rs possible
that Minister Miner still retained
the confidence OF the alministra-
ton.
According to the announcement,
Minister Miner is held not to have
exceeded his duty. On the con-
trary, he went further in the matter
in the interest Of General Barrun-
dia and his family than he was re-
quired to do. He secured n written
guarantee from the
PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA
and the minister OF foreign relations
made to the government of the
United States that in no case would
the life OF General Barrundia be in
danger. Minister Miner so states
in his letter TO Captain Pitts,
which was read and translated to
Barrundia.
1t appears alse that Miner did not
order his surrender. He simply
called the captains attention TO the
instructions laid down by the State
Department for the information Of
the commanders Of merchant vessels
in just such cases.
Minister Miner, in his explana-
ton 10 the State Department says he
knew Of all the intense personal
feeling existing against Barrundia,
ETONlBS OUT OF MS lOtinGE GDu4uCl u
secretary Of war, and knowing also
the temper of the Guatemalans at
the time, he deemed it but just
that IL ne l1ndel he saOuld have the
protection Of the Guatemalan gov
eminent against NIB violence.
Such n guarantee was made to tile
government Of the United States,
not 10 Minister Miner, in order
that il might therefore be alleged
that the arrest OF Bafrundia on a
charge Of malfeasance in Office was
merely n pretext 10 expose him 10
assassination. The guarantee was
also given on account Of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company TO avoid
all pretext to refusing to surrender
persons on proper demand. General
Barrundia's political acts did not
enter into consideration Of the
question and Captain Pitts' con-
duct, it is understood, hasialsO bsen
by the steamship com
pany.
