Senator Petiigrew, of South Dakota
 has discovered that newspaper "space writers, as he calls them, are respon- sible for the Indian troubles in the Northwest. He declares that the situ- ation has been grossly exaggerated. Who has done this alarmist works" eloquently inquiries the Senator. "Who has perpetrated this outrage upon the Northwest? The space writer. He did it with his little pencil. The big Eastern papers have no regular or re- sponsible correspondents in that eoun- try, but the superficial area of theregion now groans beneath the tread of the space writer He, like Jcb's war horse,
 'snulfs the battle from aiar (probably battle should be spelled with an o). There is an outbreak in every breeze, bloody encounter in every rustling hough, while the deep bass of the bull frog and the hum of the mosquito sug- gest to his fevercd intellect the massa- ere of innumerable settlers and the devastation of thousand happy homes
 To-day he sends three coltllnns of gore to any paper that will buy il. and to- morrow he will contradict what he sends to-day, that his reward may be the greater. All he wants is money, and he will write anything to get it. "

Something for ihe New Year.

The world renowned success of Hos letters Stomach Bitters, and their con tinued popularity for over 8 third of & century as stomaohic, is scarcely more wonderful than the welcome that greets the annual appearance of Hostetter's AL manac.

SITTING BULL K,.aE.l.

--s-=----
 General Miles has been appraised of tho killing of Sitting Bull and his son, Grow Foot. The dispatch from Pierre simply announced the fact of the kill ing giving no particulars. Another dispatch was from Standing Rock Agen- cy and stated that the Indian police started out to arrest Sitting Bull, hay ing understood he proposed starting to the Bad Lands. The police were fol lowed by a troop of cavalry under Cap tain Fouchet and infantry under Colo nel Drum.
 When the police reached Sitting Bulls camp on Grand river, about for ty miles from Standing Rock, they found arrangements being made for de- parture. The cavalry had not yet reached the camp when the police ar rested Bull and started back with him. His followers quickly rallied to rescue and tried to take him. In the melee the old Chief is said to have been killed and also five of the Indian police.
 One of the police rode back to the cavalry and infantry, telling them to hurry up to the support of the police and then hurried on to tine agency with the news of the battle.
 Commissioner Morgan received a dispatch, from Indian Agent McLaugh- lin, dated Fort Yates, Dakota, Dec. 18th, which read
 The Indian police arrested Sitting Bull at his camp, forty miles northwest of here, this morning, at daybreak. His followers attempted reaene and fighting commenced. Fonr policemen were killed and three wounded and eight Indians killed, including Sitting Bull and his son, Crow Foot, and sev- eral others were wounded. The police were surrounded for some time, but maintained the ground until relieved by United States troops. Sitting Bulls followers, probably 100 in number, de- serted their families and fled to Grand River. The police behaved nobly and great CT edit is due them.
 General Brooke, in charge of troops at Pine Ridge, telegraphed the situa- ton to Assistant Adjntant General Cor bin at arhly headquarters as follows "All Indians who can be brought ill are now here, leaving about 200 bucks who refuse to listen to any one. Against these, I will send sufficient force to capture them or fight them. The Indiana out now have great many stolen, horses and cattle with them"

HERE'S RICHNESS TOR you.

Jerome Burnett, whose knowledge cf Indians, probably, has been gained from Cooper's novels, Helen Jaclson's s writings and other such literature, un- bosoms himself in the Washington Star, on the great wrongs done the noble red man, from which we clip the fol- lowing: "Whether the present menace of the Indians is the result of being cheated and starved or not, 1t can be shown that ninety-ninc times out of a hundred when they have resprted to violence they have been stung to it by outrages that have few parallels in the history of the world. Is it any wonder that there should be massacre of Whites when white men have surprised a camp of Indian women and chi1 i1dren, the men being of hunting, and after committing outrages that would make a cannibnl shudder, have drawn their reyolyers and 'phnked' the babies crawl ing on the ground and the motbeis who wildly tried to shield them, tils a hundred were lying dead, as was tue case near Tucson, Ariz,, few years ago? Some of she greatest massacres by the IndiaEs in recent years were preceded leJ occurrences similar to this. Car ono marvel ut their discontent when they are rlthlessly driven from their homes, which, by ties and asso- citations, are as dear,to them us ours to us, driven like cattle and dying like sheep on the way, taken into reseryG- tions unhealthy and unsuited to them, to make way for the white people, who want their land?"

At the meeting of the cattlemen on the 10th inst. at the Palace hotel, mon- ey enough was subscribed to build a ferry boat to cross the Colorado river, with chutes for the approaches, and to lay trail from this city to Los Angeles, also to bore wells fer water where it may be necessary. A committee was appointed with authority to proceed with the work at once A majority of the cattlemen of southern Arizona were present, and they fully determined that from the time the tral and wells and ferry boat were completed, cattle would be driven to California instead of ship ping them. m.-Star.

Quid nunces are just now cudgling their brains as to the probable effect upon the Sioux of the killing of Sitting Bull. Those who have profited by a quarters tuition at Yankee guessing school should be consulted or some one gifted with second sight. If mother Shipton were alive she doubtless might turn her bullseye lantern on the future with some degree of precision and re- veal the future of the present Indian emeute. Col. Corbin, of the U. $. Army practiced in horoscopy, predicts since the killing of Sitting Bull, that the malcontents will all come ins but not withstanding the divination of the Colo nel we advise those in threatened local ities to keep their eyes skinned, trust in God and keep their powder dry, at least until the summer solstice has waxed and waned.

WEALTH or THE SIOUX.

When the annals of the poor, of the present century, are written no refer ence will be made to the Sioux family, the Astors, Vanderbilts, Guulds, Rock afellows, and others as we'll financially heeled as they. for the reason that they are not of the class referred to by Dean Swift, in his remarkably brief charity sermon, who said (duoting the prophet lsaiah) |" He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth to the Lord, and if you like the security, down with the dust. !"
 The following table will show that the Sioux possess within 35i square miles as great an area of territory as the States of Connecticut, Massachu- setts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhdt'e Island, New Jersey and Dela- ware. and 12,745 more than England and Wales, and 2,034 more than Spain and Portugal combined. And so well provided are they, in other respects, that the conventional eye of the needle will interpose between them and heaven; and, consequently, when they quit this mundane sphere they will be obliged to take the left hand trail which has its termination in Pluto's dominion. The following table shows the number of Sioux Indian agencies, with names and numbers of each band, in 1884, and also amount of lands and number of square miles in the several Sioux reservations, and appropriations for ra- tions and schools:

A Gang of Desperate Men Plunder Cars and
Shoot Railway Employees.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHI
GOSHEN, IND, July 25-For some time
the Lake Shore road has suffered much loss
from tramps who break open freight cars on
side tracks and even board moving trains to
perpetrate robberies. The section between
Auburn and Elkhart. Ind, has always been
favorite spot for the operations Of this
class, as, for some reason best known to the
officials of the road, freight trains run with
scarcely any speed over it. Just at noon to-
day, at flag station few miles from here,
nearly score of trsmps boarded the fourth
and last section of through freight The
trainmen ordered the fellows of, but, in
stead of going they proceeded to fight.
Many had their pockets filled with stones,
which they used on the trainmen with awful
effect Frank Houk, a brakeman, was
caught by two of the wretches and had his
head pounded into jelly with rocks. He
can hardly survive the night James Rock
wood, of Toledo, the conductor, was shot
twice in the head by some of the gang and
cannot recover. The engineer and fireman
and the only other brakeman on the train
came to the rescue, but could do little
against 20 desperate men.
The train had been stopped near field in
which were a number of farm hands at
work. They instantly realized the situation
and ran toward the train, but the tramps
clambered down and escaped. Word was
sent to Elkhart and special train with de-
tectives came to the spot. A large posse is
securing the woods for the villains. The
dying men, both of whom are unconscious,
are receiving the best of attention.

Allegheny Contractors VIII Continue, but
Will Change the Cement.
Last evening special meeting of the
Committee on Streets and Sewers of ALLIE
gheny was held for the purpose of consider
ing the Irwin avenue pavement questions.
Messrs. Wolfe and Lowe, of the sub-com-
mittee, reported that they had visited the
place and found everything all right. The
only trouble noticed was that wagons pass
ing over the street left an indentation by
the wheels. Mr.. Boelze, one of the con-
tractors, appeared before the committee and
stated the pavement would turn out all right.
The indentations left by wagon wheels were
of no consequence and that the street
would equalize itself. Mr.. Boelze stated
that he would like every wagon in ALE
gheny to pass over the street the first week
1t was opened, as it would improve the
pavements. Mr.. Lowe informed Mr.. Boelze
that the guarantee had not yet been signed,
and that was one of the objects OF the
special meeting. Mr.. Boelze expressed sur
prise at this, and said 1t was an oversight,
and he was ready to sign the guarantee then
and there. Mr.. Lowe finally moved that
the contractors be allowed to finish to work.
Mr.. Smith amended the motion, provid-
ing that nothing but Rosendale cement be
used in the bed Of the streets. This amend
ment was accepted and the motion adopted.

NEWARK, July %. - William Roger
Owen, Secretary of the Newark Steam
Generator Company, was arrested this after
noon for forging the company's checks to
the amount of nearly $1,000, and tonight
was sent to Jail for trial in the Special
Sessions Court After two months vaca-
ton President William Robotham, of the
company, returned to-day and found the
Office of the concern closed. He learned
that Secretary Owen had not been seen
since July 8, and on gaining entrance
found many unopened letters on the Score
tary's desk, some of which he had himself
sent from distant places. He went to the
bank and found that during his absence
between 81, 900 and $4,000 had been drawn
out on checks to which his name had been
forged. He reported the matter at police
headquarters, and Detective Cosgrove went
on the case. He found Owen In an East
Newark pool room betting on the horse
races and arrested him. Owen wanted to
change his clothes at his home, 324 Warren
street. The detective went with him.
AS Owen entered the room there was a
click of a pistol and as Cosgrove jumped
forward he heard a shot and Owen fell
across the bed. The ball passed through
his ear and grazed his neck, and as he at
tempted to fire a second time Cosgrove
wrested the pistol from him. Owen was
then brought to Newark and locked up. He
confessed the forgeries and said he played
the races, lost his own money and then took
the company's funds and lost them. He is
30 years old, and is married into one of the
wealthiest families in Harrison. He has a
SOD and daughter and was highly re-
spected

ALIVE, BUT LEFT TO DIE.
Sensational Statement About David Hay,
Victim of the Hill Farm Disaster.


Victim of the Hill Farm Disaster.
ESPECIAL TELkeRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
CoNNELLsvILLE, July ga sensation
was created here to-day by the statement OF
John Goodwin and Jake Wood, two men
who worked in the Hill Farm mine at Dun
bar. and were in the rescuing party. Wood
said to-day: David Hay was found alive
and kicking, and had he been brought out to
the fresh air he would have been alive to-
day. He wasn't brought out because those
in charge were too ignorant to know what to
do. Mine Boss Evans. pressed me to work
when the gas was too bad, and refused, and
he sent me home. 1 returned, and he put
me to work farther down. Half the time gas
came through from the Ferguson, but the
men continued to work with open lights"
Goodwin said: II, too, believe David
Hay was found alive. I was told so.
Had he been brought out and buried
In clay for short time he would
have lived. This all old miners know,
as the wet clay acts as an absorbent of
the choke-damp, drawing it quito the body.
There was too much carelessness and ignor-
ance about that mine. Had there been less
the awful accident would never have hap
pened."
Both of the men scored the way the mine
was laid ont in the first place, and said it
was against all laws known in regard to gas,
as 1t tended to gather 1t in certain places.
They make a statement also that the man
Hay was not brought out at once because
some one thought it would create too much
excitement. The men are very bitter, and
their words have created great excitement.
