BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. IA man
who has just arrived from Mandan says
the Indian scare has subsidized. The ex-
pected massacre Of the people of that
place by a band armed to the teeth and
bent upon cXterminating every white
man in the vicinity did not take place.
While the excitement there for few
hours was genuine lovel-hcaded people
here compared it to the Messiah craze
which affects many Of the Sioux.
Governor Miller participated in the
panic by ordering the djutant-general
to Bismarck and making preparations to
issue arms and ammuniti0ns and call
out the national guard. The desertion
of his post Of duty by an agent of the
United States department of interior at
Pine Ridge agency, coupled with the
fact that there is considerable excite
mcnt among certain Indians on all the
agencies, has been the main cause of the
excitement and talk about an Indian
uprising being imminent.
The agent in question was sent to
Pine Ridge agency about six months
ago with no experience in dealing with
Indians. The agent was entirely I'M
equal to handling the refractory bucks
who We're crazed with the religious
fever. Previous TO his departure he
wrote letters to some Of the army Off
GERS calling attention to the impending
danger of an outbreak, citing incidents
where Indians had resisted arrest and
openly threatened the agent, and advis-
ing the government as to the best mode
of procedure in assembling an army of
soldiers on the ground at once to quell
the impending strife.
The action of this agent in deserving
his post after writing the communication
had much to do with the spread of
alarm among the white settlers The
reports sent out from there that people
are leaving their homes and that gem
eral uprising Of Indians is imminent is
without foundation. While many of
the rich cattle men would like to have
additional troops stationed in many por-
tions of Montana where there are none
in order that the cattle might be insured
from molestation by the Indians the
necessity of the hour does not warrant il,

In addition to the aforementioned
reports there was an interesting report
on of the recent annual session of the
Sovereign Grand Lodg which was sub
mitted by Grand Representatives James
Ii. Appleby and Thomas G. Doud.
There also was an excellent report
from Frank Sparks, chairman of the
committee on correspondence, review
ing the work of the order in various
states. Some of the members of the
Grand Lodge were so well pleased with
Mr.. Sparks report that they expressed
the opinion that he should be remuner-
ated
The reports of the several officers
make printed volume of nearly 100
pages.
Consideration of an important report
from the committee on hall was post
poned until the afternoon, as also was a
resolution recommending the employ
ment of degree staffs for the exempliti-
cation of unwritten work.
Most of this mornings business was
of routine nature. At IL o'clock re-
cess for two hours was taken. The SEES
sion probably will not conclude until
late this evening.

A Train Blown fromthe Track.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 26.-The wind
storm on the divide, which blew the
Rio Grande and Sante Fe passenger
train from the track at Monument,
late yesterday afternoon, has sub
sided. The wind was so strong that
the coaches were lifted from the
tracks and carried ten or fifteen feet
from the track and thrown upon their
sides. Several passengers were slight
ly bruised and cut with glass, but no
one was seriously hurt.
Considerable damage was done to
many towns in the southern part of
the State unrooing houses, but up
to the present time no one is report
ed hurt. The fire which started on
the Cheyenne mountain, near Color
ado Springs, last evening and threat
ened TO burn the grove of Helen
Jackson, has been extinguished.
CoLFAx, CAL, Jan. 26.-The east
bound overland train, which has been
snowbound at Shady Run since the
18th inst, was released yesterday
and returned to Sacramento. The
consolidated east-bound overland
trains, which has been lying at this
place since the 10th inst, also re.
turned to Sacramento yesterday.
Since noon yesterday neither rain
nor snow has fallen, but at Truckee
over three feet of snow fell since Fri
day night. Later reports show the
railroad clear from tunnel Is east.
Snow-plows have been kept in con-
slant motion. Many heavy drifts
are in the snow-sheds, and what snow
has fallen is wet and heavy.
PORTLAND, OREGON, Jan. 26.-The
blockade on the Union Pacific is
again virtually raised. The east
bound train started from Lo Grange
yesterday afternoon. A snow pillow
will reach Baker City to-day, and
four delayed trains will then start for
Portland and expect to get through
on time. A chinook is blowing
and the snow melting rapidly.
Superintendent Johnson says the
Union Padific has no fear of land
slide or washouts, and. barring snow
slides, no fear is felt of further inter-
ruption on the line.
Owing to the wires being down,
there is no news from the blockade
on the Southern Pacific.

DowNrEvILLE, Can, January 27.--
During the storm yesterday, ten
miles above here, buried a house and
two of the inmates were killed.
Many families at Sierra City, fearing
snow-slide, have left their homes
and taken refuge in the lower tunnel
of the Butte Mine. Two houses of
the town are already reported to
have been destroyed by slides.
A San Francisco dispatch says
the railroad officials at Sacramento,
succeeded in having communication
for short time late last night with
Truckee Office on the eastern slope
of the Sierra mountains, when it was
learned that the snow is sixteen feet
deep on the track between that place
and the station five miles west of
there.
A Keokuk, Iowa, dispatch says
the warm weather following the cold
snap has caused the ice to start in
the river here, and in it's grinding
movement it has wrecked the new
Government boom, 800 feet long,
extending from the lower lock Of the
Des Moines Rapid Canal to the draw
Of the bridge. A part of the boom
which may possibly be saved from
destruction, was carried a consider
able distance below the bridge.
Much alarm is felt by fruit growers
in Lee county, and in fact, all over
this section of the country, for the
safety of the fruit crop. The remark
able mild weather OF the forepart of
the season has developed fruit buds
to dangerous degree, and the de-
cided change of the last week has
doubtless wrought vast damage.
There is absolutely no hope for the
peach crop, and the April crops are
possibly destroyed.

Johnstown Frightened.

PITTsBURG, January 27.-Ill-fated
Johnstown had a big scare last night.
Fortunately, no person was injured.
The Cambria Iron Company is build
ing dump along the Conemaugh
river. About III o'clock last hight
load of cinders was thrown into the
river, when terrible explosion fol-
lowed, shaking the whole town. In
an instant everybody was in the
streets, thinking something terrible
had happened, and for time the cit
liens were in state of terror. In
Woodvale, near where the explosion
occurred, beds were tilted on their
edge and the occupants thrown out.
A huge piece of flying cinder fell on
the roof of house, broke through,
and dropped on a bed occupied by
man and his wife. The bed clothing
caught fire, and the flames communi-
Gated to the building, but were extin-
guished before much damage was
done. Another piece of cinder broke
the corner of a dwelling house.
Hundreds of pieces of the cinders
struck Lambert & 'Kress' ale brewe-
ry and broke almost every pane of
glass in the windows, tore piece of
the building out, and set the build
ing on fire. One of the Cambria
Company's locomotives, standing
near the scene of the explosion, was
badly damaged. Pieces of cinder
were thrown nearly quarter of q
mile, and fell ON the roofs of houses
in Prospect.

CHICAGO, January 2S.-The Daily
Inter Ocean publishes a letter from
Horatio Rust, of South Pasadena,
Cal, of which the following is an alb
stract:
A few years ago Henry Thomp-
son, his wife, Ruth, daughter of
Capt. John Brown, of 0ssawattomie,
accompanied by Janson and Owen,
sons of Capt. Brown, came to Pasa-
dena to make their homes. About
ten years ago Owen Brown died. We
buried him, at his request, on top of
little spur of the Sierra Madre
Mountains, near where he had lived.
Henry Thompson and wife, with one
daughter, lived near my own home
in South Pasadena. Thompson was
active with Capt. Brown in Kansas,
and has always been an Industrious,
worthy man, but the weight of more
than sixty years of toll is upon him.
He has not been able to work regu-
larly during the past year, and now
the increased illness of his wife, for
many years feeble, requires his al
most constant care. When Thomp-
son settled here he bought a small
house and about fifteen acres of land.
This is mortgaged, and l can see no
possible way for him ever to pay it.
Having known Capt. Brown and fam
lily since 1856, / believe it to be my
duty to present their case. / knew
they would not consent had pro-
posed to do this, but ] believe there
are those who think that freedom is
worth all it costs, who will be glad to
contribute to lift this mortgage and
raise a small fund which will provide
for this daughter of the old hero who,
when the cause demanded his life,
and some friends planned to rescue
him, said: No; Il believe I am worth
indefinitely more to hang than for
any other purpose
Let us first pay up the mortgage,
and then deposit what is given to the
order of Mrs. Thompson, who will
use it judiciously."

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 29.-
Judge Maxwell, on behalf of the mi
nority of.the committee on the report
of the gubernatorial contest between
Fleming and Golf closed his argu-
ment this evening. He made no new
points, but reviewed the evidence
and read the law on contest cases.
Senator Morris will close tomorrow
on behalf of General Golf, and on
Friday Mr.. Mckee, of the House,
will close for Judge Fleming, after
which a vote will be taken, probably
not before Saturday. There is no
doubt that. unless something unfore-
seen should happen, Fleming will be
declared elected.

Attempted Assassination.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-During
confirmation services at st. Johns
Episcopal church, corner of st. John
and Brown streets, yesterday even
ing, the congregation was startled by
the actions of an apparently dement,
ed young man, who arose from his
seat in the church and fred shot
from revolver in the pulpit. I'm
mediately there was great confusion,
but it was quickly seen that no harm
had resulted from the shot. The
young man, who gave his name as
Dave Alexander, of No. 1880 Parish
street, was taken into custody. He
told a rambling story of letter he
he had received, which had induced
him to. make the attempt to kill the
venerable bishop. He was locked up
pending an investigation of the
matter.
Alexander is about 80 years old,
and was until recently clerk in the
dry goods store of Strawbridge &
Clothier. He says that Bishop
Whitaker's attitude on the liquor
question displeased him, and he re-
solved to kill the bishop. Alexander
is an ardent prohibitionist. He re-
signed his position several weeks ago
in order that his intentions with re-
gard to Bishop Whitaker would not
bring disgrace to the house. He
says that after hearing a sermon
preached by the bishop last April in
which he asserts that every man
ought to vote according to his con-
science, he entered into a correspon-
dence with the divine, trying to con-
vince the bishop that he was an ene-
my to prohibition, and should be
I" removed"
He has be waiting for a chance
to get at the bishop for sometime,
and hearing that he was to preach in
st. Johns church last night, went
there determined TO kill him. The
prisoner states that he had de-
termined also to remove the Rev. s.
d. Mcconnell, pastor of st. Stephens
Episcopal church, whose attitude on
the liquor question was distasteful to
him. 1t is evident that Alexander's
reason has become unsettled through
mental excitement produced by his
religious and political beliefs. He
expressed disappointment at his fail
ure to kill the bishop.

Youna-But, oh MY!

MIDDLETowN, Conn, Jan. 25.--
Two odd Opponents have made a
stir in Connecticut recently. Amos
j. Swanton, of Ansonia, is on his
way home from Kansas with his Ii
year old son, who ran away with Is
year old Ida Smith, OF the same vii.
lage. The escapade was arranged by
wealthy aunt of Ida, so the aunt
confesses, because, she says, the lit
tie couple were fond of each other,
and she herself believes in early mar
riages--'th9 earlier the better. Even
two years ago she proposed to Mr..
Swanton that his son Arlie should
marry Ida as soon as they became
somewhat more mature, and Swan
ton consented to the proposition, but
he thought no more of it, until in
December, aunt, Arlie and Ida all
disappeared from home at once.
Since then he has hunted everywhere
for the young couple. The aunt now
says that she concluded that there
was no use of the little folks waiting
longer; SO off they went on the
elopement trip.
At Wig Hill, not long ago. cou-
pie of young things agreed to elo2e.
The girl arose at night, slid down a
rope ladder from her room to her
lover, and off the pair tramped to-
ward New Haven. But there was
light snow on the ground, and before
many hours the clippers became Jaw
fully tired" and both sneaked back
home. They were forgiven.

Home OF Robbers.

FoRT SMITH, ARK, January &c.
A veritable robbers cave has been
discovered in the mountain fastness-
es of the Flint District in the Chero-
kee Nation, and the robbers them
selves are now behind the bars of the
United States Jail in this city. Coun-
try stores and post Offices along the
border have been burglarized for a
year past, and many persons have
been robbed on the public highways
of the Cherokee Nation. All efforts
to identify or capture the robbers
failed. A hunter accidentally found
cave in the mountain last Tuesday
and were surprised to find it well
stored with a variety Of goods and
miscellaneous supplies, guns, saddles,
firearms and the like. He saw at
once he had stumbled upon a rob-
bers' cave, and reported to the au-
thorities.
The place was searched, and near
ly three wagon loads of stolen goods
found, among them a quantity of
postage stamps and 900 decks of
cards. A deputy was placed at the
cave on guard, and captured Gordon
Sanford and Lewis Maddox when
they came to the rendezvous Both
are young white men who stood well
in the community where they live,
and were not suspected.
