Lively Election in Indian Territory.

WYNwooD, l. T., Aug. IA runner ar
rived early This morning, after travelling
fifty miles from Stonewall, and reports
that row was narrowly averted at that
place and hostilities only prevented by the
superior forces at the command of Gov
ernor Byrd, who so overawed the disfran-
chised whites that after come display of
arms they prudently withdrew. StonewaH
was the largest voting place and was the
centre of interest in the election. Both
candidates for governor, Sam Paul and Will
liam Byrd, were at the polls all day and
at his back PauPs supporters were
full bloods and most of the half breeds
were for Byrd. The latter also had
ia militia under his pay. Everybody was
heavily armed and when the polls opened
matters looked serious. Governor Byrd
brought the militia to the polls forming
q circle aboutIt The first squaw man was
refused the privilege of voting and retired.
The whites gathered their forces and for a
time it looked as if they meant to battle,
but Byrd with his militia stood firm and
the whites seeing they would be worsted
in fight left, and Byrd and his militia ran
things to suit themselves and even pre-
vented the Indians from voting whom they
knew were for Paul The result was 10t
for Byrd and for Paul and 10 for Burris
Independent. Enough is known to assure
Byrd's election and the success of the so
called Indian party but the election i!
bound to be contested.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 14-Mrs. Anna
Beatty, who lived with her family at Bay
View, died most horrible death on Tues
day evening. About two weeks ago fly
got into one of her nostrils and it was some
time before she was able to remove it, and
when she did, an itching sensation re-
manned and her nose and throat began
swelling. She became alarmed and a week
ago Sunday physician was called. Since
that day Mrs. Beatty had been suffering in
manner almost indescribable and the
doctors say a similar case is unknown to
medical science. 1t was stated soon after
she was taken sick that maggots were dis
covered in her nose and throat, and for sew
eral days Mrs. Beatty had been unable to
swallow anything like food. Her death was
the result of having been literally eaten UP
by maggots. She died in the greatest agony
and her affiiction was puzzle to the doc
tors. Upon examination of the body it was
found that the partition of her nose was
gone, hole had been eaton through the
roof of the mouth and the soft palate had
disappeared and the throat was frightfully
eaten.

Silver Purchases.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE director of
the mint said this afternoon that he ex-
poets to purchase 100000 ounces of silver
tomorrow, and expects also to pay trife
more than the London market rate for it.
He defended the policy of refusing to make
public the exact price the department pays
for silver. The prices paid for silver have
never been made public heretofore, SO
! there was no new departure in the matter.
He continued: sThere will be no attempt
on the part of the treasury department to
to buy silver cheap, or to beat down prices.
The government viii pay full market
prices and will buy four and one-hali
million ounces month. The administra
ton had desire to see the price of silver
advance, and there will be no attempt il
the execution of the new law to throw ob
| stacles in the way"

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 14.-[Special tele

widespread and very disastrous. The
damage in greater or lesser amounts is re-

quickly repaired. The Midland lost 5000
feet of track between Florissant and Belle

Fosdick. 1t is believed it will take several
days to repair the-damage on the Midland,

THERE Is NO TRUTH

Close OF the Great Army Encsmpment-The
Grand Banquet-General Sherman
Makes Speech.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable1
PARIS, Aug. 14.-When some months ago
the statement was made in newspaper in
London that Princess Dolgorouki, formerly
wife of the late Emperor of Russia, had
written and was about to publish her
memoirs, the story was eagerly snapped up
and accepted as gospel truth. First one
and then. another OF the great London
papers came out with similar statements.
Then the French papers took up the cue.
The news Travelled very fast to America,
where the memoirs were eagerly awaited,
very naturally, for the autobiography of a
clever woman would be in itself great in
terest, but the personal memoirs of a
woman who once held the place nearest to
the heart of an emperor would be still moro
so, and when that emperor happened to be
the assassinated Car of Russia, and that
woman happened to be the celebrated Prin-
cess Dolgorouki, it is easy 10 understand
what an interest would be aroused by the
| announcement that she had prepared her
r5min see noes of one Of the most remarkable
periods in the history of Europe during the
| last hundred years.
| A few days ago Prince Georges Dolgo-
rouki, one of three brothers OF the prin
cess, returned to Paris from st. Peters
burg. He is tall, manly looking gentle
man with iron grey nalr and small, side
whiskers, pair of smiling, dark eyes,

from the very first. 1t was SO very I'M
likely that my sister who has remained on
the very best of terms with the present
Emperor and his wife and family, should
have, at all events, during her lifetime per-
mitted the publication of any reminis-
cences which could hardly fail to give pain,
or at least have caused annoyance

ing. He was glad that the organization
was based on merit and not on rank, but
on spirit impelling men to enter the army
for the sake of liberty throughout the
world.
Colonel Taylor then introduced
Comrade Sherman, of the United
States delegation from Missouri.
General fisherman said: 81 am glad that
you have taken command. [ have seen one
young man pass to-day and a new one in

ton to authority which marks our Amerl-
can history and which is the most promis-
ing of a glorious future of any singie
feature in our American government.
In looking back upon the past,

pleased with you, my sons.n Applause.
The general closed with the sentiment thai
his men might continue in their good work,
for, although he hoped that wars would not
come, he prophesid they would continue
to recur as long as human nature remained
as it is now. General Sickles and General

The Fight at Blue Rock.

CHINGo, GUATEMALA, July 20.-.The fight
at Blue Rock proves to have been more
serious than was first reported. 1t seems
some 10000 Guatamalan troops came to the
assistance of the Liberal force. The Sal
vador troops and the regular troops of
General Ezeta drove them back and scat
tered them, capturing eight pieces of ar
tillery. The defeated troops retired TO
Jutiapa, their ammunition being exhausted.
The pickets of the Guatamalan troops
were fired upon at Contepaque, about six
miles from here this morning. Although
war has not yet been declared, a
big fight is expected daily, as
this is the only point where Ezeta
and his army can enter Guatemala There
are $500 troops here, 1,040 more at Conte-
peque and 1900 scattered along the from
tier east from here. The force here is
under the command of General Cuyetano
and Captain Emile, French artillery en-
gineer, is second in command. There are
twenty-four pieces of artillery here which
were brought over one hundred and thirty
miles of mountain road by Captain Emile
He had to use $50 mules besides oxen tC
get the guns over one hill. The troops are
in good condition and well armed. Work
in the trenches is being pushed rapidly.

sand barrels of wis ~ at the Kentucky dis
tillery today caused one of the most disas-
trous fires that ever visited Louisville. A
rough estimate made at noon while the
flames were still roaring furiously, placed
the total loss at fully eight hundred thou
sand dollars. The flames caught from o
lamp to a leaking whisky barrel.
The distillery property consisted OF the
immense distillery containing machinery
for the manufacture Of whisky, extending
back from the street $50 feet and three

large ware houses, where there was stock
of 25, 600 barrels of whisky, all totally con-

be $4,000. The total loss to the Kentucky
distillery company is estimated at 100000
