MAssING THE TROOPS.
Plenty of Soldiers Out West of
the Missouri.

CHICAGO. Dec. 7.-Adyices from the
Indian country were received at army
headquarters tonight which stated
that everything was reported that there
had been no dancing since Wednesday
night. At Fort Yates the Thermometer
registered 10 deg. below zero Tonight.
Full rations have been ordered for the
Indians. The Seventh infantry from
Fort Logan. Denver, Col, are expected
10 reach Fort Yates some time tonight.
The Sixth cavalry are expected
to reach Rapid City to-mor-
row. The First infantry should
be near Rosebud agency. There
are nearly 6,000 soldiers now in the
Northwest Indian country where the
excitement exists. Gen. Brooke has
under his command at Pine Ridge
agency nearly 1900 troops and about
7o0 horses. Gen. Miles said at late
hour tonight that he could not say pos
itively whether he should be able to
start for the Northwest tomorrow.
Gen. Miles said to-day: "Gens. Ruger
and Brooke have been doing all they
could to put the small number of avail
able troops in position to be useful, and
so far as possible staying the threatened
cyclone, yet the end of the Indian
troubles is by no means Immediately at
hand. No other civilized country on
the face of the earth would tolerate
many thousands of armed savageS seat
tered through different states and
territories. The people of Texas,
Western Kansas, Nebraska. North and
South Dakota, Montana. Wyoming,
Utah, Eastern Washington, Idaho,
Arizona and New Mexico are seriously
interested in this subject. While the
fire may be suppressed in one place it
will be still smOuldering and liable to
break out at other places where the
least expected under the present sys-
tem." Gen. Miles has received from
Lieut.. CASTOR, of the Eighth cavalry. a
report of the council held with the
Cheyennes at the mission on Tongue
river. Montana. with reference to these
matters, and Lieut.. CASTOR reports that
at this conference there were present
Spotted Wolf. Old Crow, White Elk.
Badger, POrcupine and number of
other Cheyennes and Sioux, and Fire
Crow, an Ogallala Sioux.

PUNCTURED ACOWBOY.
A Telegraph Operator Proves
Himself a Good Shot.

NAVAJO SPRINGS, A. T., Dec. IA
shooting affray occurred here yesterday
afternoon. resulting in the probable
death of Bud Blake, an ex-cowboy, and
one of the most feared desperadoes in
this section. Blake rode into town yes
terday afternoon, and, after filing up
with TanglefOot, proceeded to shoot I'D
the town. After terrUriZing the citi-
Zens, he rode across the coun-
try in the direction of st.
johns, about two miles from here.
He encountered two telegraph opera
tors, K. l.. Alexander and l.. L. Get
ton, returning from ali antelope hunt.
Riding up within fifty yards he called
upon them to throw up. and received an
immediate response in the shape of
vOlley from Winchester in the hands
of Mr.. Alexander and Mr. Cotton's six
shooter. Blake returned the fire, hitting
CottOn's saddle horn. Alexander then
shot again, and Blake fell from his
saddle mOrtally wounded. The two men
rode into this place, where Alexander
gave himself up to the constable.
Prevailing sentiment is that the killing
WAS justified.

STRUCK 4 HURRICANE.
Remarkably Stormy Passage of
the Steamer SaaIe.

New YORK, Dec. THE North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Saale. which ar
rived at her dock in Hoboken this morn
Ing, had the stormiest passage she ever
experienced. Monday last the strong
westerly gale turned into a hurricane.
Every wave washed the deck fore and
aft. A towering mountain of wafer
swept over the bridge and deluged the
officer in command. This was followed
by another OF equal size. and shortly
afterwards by a third. The command
was given to heave to and await
the subsiding of the storm. The
steam was shut off aud then
there occurred sudden down
draft through the furnaces which
forced vast volumes of smoke into the
stoker's coal apartment. This stuffed
up the air tunnels and rushed into the
saloon and dining rooms. Some eycita-
bic person yelled Fire" and for
while panic prevailed. Only the
prompt assurance of the officers that
there was no danger prevented serious
consequences. 1t was eight hours be-
fore the ship could resume her course.
Tuesday was also stormy day, and on
Wednesday the bridge was again swept
by waves. When the Saale reached
Newfoundland banks her deck was
covered with ice. Neils Siemonson. an
Immigrant, died of deliriUm tremens on
Wv. q, and on the following day Anna
Chevis. another steerage passenger, died
OF pneumonia. Both were buried at sea.

burned an etfigy of Healy, and kicked

JEALOUSY PROMPTS MURDER
How a Pennsylvania Girl Came
to Her Death.

CHESTER, Pa, Dec. 7.-There are
important developments in the case
Of Miss Emma PfeitZenmever, who
was found in the house of her sister
with her throat cut and other wounds
about the head and body. The body of
the unfortunate girl was not buried
yesterday. as was supposed, but instead
was merely lowered into the grave IN
the presence of the assembled mourn
ers. After they had left the graveyard
the coffin was lifted out of the
open grave and taken to the chapel,
where Dr. H.F. Formal, the well-kn6Wa
Philadelphia expert. made a second
post-mOrtem examination. He discoY-
cred a wound on the head which had
been overlooked. and demonstrated to
those assembled around him that any
one OF the four. terrible wounds in
the girls neck would have caused
her death, thus clearly eStab-
murdered. Several photographs were
taken of the body to-day to be used at
the inquest. and then the remains were
again consigned to the grave, the OPEN.
ing this time being filled with earth.
Three persons have made sworn
statements to the effect that they
heard struggles and cries with
IN the Schmidt household on the
fatal night. Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt
have all along maintained that they
heard no sounds. Constables are on
guard inside and outside the house to-
night, and the Schmidts are virtually
under arrest, orders having been issued,
by the authorities to the effect that Mrs.
Schmidt must not be allowed to
leave the house. The theory of
those working OH the case is that
Emma was murdered by Mrs. Schmidt
after Jeal Gus quarrel. The body was
found III the iatter's room. To-day a
bunch of hair was found in the same
room, and Emma's undershirt. with a
clean cut across the back, has also
been found. 1t is thought that
after returning from the ball
Emma and Schmidt entered the
room and that while they were
there the wife caught them in com-
promising position. Enraged with
jealous fury, she is supposed TO have
plunged a knife into the guilty girls
neck with terrible effect. After the
murder, the theory runs, the husband
and wife procured the dull, blunt cheese
knife, and. after smearing it with blood,
placed it near the body i'll order
to make 1t appear as though the girl
had taken her own life. 1t is expected
that the Schmidts will be formally
taken into custody tomorrow and the
evidence now in the hands of the au-
thorities Will be made public at the cor
Oner's inquest, which will be called in
day or two.

wounds in his body. One ball entered
below his lett eye, and, ranging down.
ward, lodged near the jugular vein. An
other bullet entered his abdomen. and
yet another lodged in shis right breast.
Any one of these wounds will prove
fatal. James MeSse was brought down
with shot through his left leg.
and was easily captured. The most
desperate baltic ensued between
Kuhns and Deputy Sheriff Tom
" Wilkinson, of Fort WAYNE. They

vOlvers were emptied. Three times

to kuhn's breast and fired. The des-
perado- however. managed to escape.
lie walked two miles, until, in dying
condition, ne was compelled TO seek
shelter at a farmers house. His hiding
place was quickly brought TO the
knowledge of the police, and kuhns
was taken prisoner without
struggle. When he was examined by
physician it was found that he was lit
orally riddled with bullets. One had
pierced his left .ung and another his
right breast, two had plowed through
his intestines and several bullets had
lodged in MS legs. The courage dis
viz was
full. With wounds enough to kill a
dozen ordinary men, Kuhns sat upright
III chair and nothing in his demeanor
indicated that he was mortally
wounded. Joseph Messe, after he
was arrested, drew knife on
Sheriff WIlkinson,a and narrowly escaped
being killed 10y that officer. Both Con-
nelly and Kuhns will die. The pris-
oners were taken to Fort Wayne at
O'Clock this morning TO avoid a lynch
ing, which was threatened by the eu-
ragged people OF Churubusco. There is
reward of $1,000 offered for the capt
ure of kuhns by the authorities at FoS-
toria, which will be claimed by the two
officers VINO made the capture. Kuhms
was on his way to his fathers farm,
which is ten miles west of Churubusco,
when he was recognized by the Fort
Wayne officers.

GREENWOOD, Miss, Dec. 7.-Gus
ArOn, one of the best known citizens of
the country, has been murdered at his
store at Roehuck Landing, Yazoo river.
The particulars of the murder are as
follows: Dennis Martin, in company
with lot of other negroes, engaged in
game of craps close to MIR. Aron's
store. After playing some time a dis
tnr0ance was raised among them. when
Mr.. Aron went out to demonstrate with
them. and. finding Martin the cause OF
the disturbance. and he making some
sighting remarks about Mr.. Aron, Aron
advanced upon him. Martin drew his
pistol. remarking (using vile epithets)
that he would allow no white man TO
come near him. Aron, being unarmed,
retreated, when Martin fired upon
him without effect. Mr.. Aron
went into his store, and Phillip
Thomas. followed by several other col
ored men, went out to search for Mar
tin, and, upon finding him, carried him
to Mr.. ArOn. They tosk good care to
search his pockets, and, not finding any
weapons in any of them, considered
him harmless. Mr.. Aron, upon meet
ing the negro. advanced upon him, saw
ing as he did: You scOundrel: l have
been friend to you ever since l have
been here" He had hardly finished
speaking when the negro pulled re-
vo!ver which he had concealed up his
sleeve and fired point blank at Mr..
Ar0n, the ball taking effect in the re-
gion OF the heart, killing him almost in
stantly. Martin then turned and fired
upon several others who were
IN the store at the time,
among them Phil Thomas, who
took up a double-barreled shotgun and
fired at Martin. breaking both arms,
and, mistaking him for dead, attention
was given to Mr.. Aron. In the mean
time Martin managed to get away, and,
his absence being discovered, posse OF
colored people started out to hunt for
him. and, finding him. he was swung
up to limb and his body riddled with
bullets. Mr.. Aron was a native of Ger
many, about thirty-fve years old, a
brother TO Albert Aron, of this place,
to Herman Aron. of New Orleans, and
Louis Aron, of Cincinnati. He was
senior member of the firm of Aron &
Co.. at SheppardtOwn and Roebuck, and
owned extensive plantations in this
county. He was prominent Mason
and an honOred member of several
other prominent orders. He leaves a
wife and one child. who are at present
residing in New Orleans. where the re-
mains will be sent for interment.

PRESS OPINIONS.
The Split as Seen by London News
papers.

LONDON. Dec. 5.-The News SAYS:
The Healyites deserve the greatest
credit, both with Engllshmen and IRISH
men, for their frmness and courage.
They have substituted man who has
no self but his cause for man who mas
no cause but himself.
AT Fridays Interview John Redmond
expressed 10 MIR. Gladstone his personal
regret for the term applied to the latter
by Mr.. Parnell.
The Chronicle says: Historically
speaking Mir. Parnell mas not been de-
posed from the leadership of the Irish
party. Which party shall have the right
To call Itself truly national can only be
determined by an appeal to the
Irish constituencies. 1t would have
been better if Parnel's opponents
could have formally DE- posed him, in-
stead OF seeding, and established Nc
Carthy,s succession To the leadership.
1t would be unwise for Gladstone to
negotiate terms for home rule
with the secederS until ireland
had distinctly confirmed their actions.
Parneli has told his friends that he will
go to ireland and constitute national
party. He speaks confidently of carry
ing the country with him at the general
election. The Irish parliamentary fund,
amounting to 10000, remains under
the control of Mr.. Parnell, with the ex-
ceptlOn of .20D, which IS in the hands
OF the IreaSurerS.
Mr.. Mccarthy. in denying that there
was scene OF disorder When he and his
associates left the irish caucns, said:
ION the contrary, when l returned to
the room for my coat. which | had left
behind me, Mr.. Parnell's followers took
the opportunity to shake hands cordially
with NE, and all expressed regret at the
spit IN the party" MIR. Mccarthy
added: My prayers and all my efforts
are for unity. For 1reland'S sake we
must be united.'
Referring to Mr.. Parnell, the Times
says: Setting aside the merits of the
case, Mr.. Parnell has again placed his
opponents technically in the wrong. and
Secured plausible grounds for denOunc-
Ing them to Irish electors as the tools
OF English politicians. Every bye-elec-
ton III ireland will be founded on this
issue, and We venture to doubt the anX-
iety of the HeaiyiteS to submit them
selves to this: but the forces on either
side are strong. Mr.. GIadstone's letter
is in substance creditable to him.
The Standard says: Mr.. Parnell keeps
the field. He has diminished the Glad
stOnian voting power and rendered the
prospects OF Giadstone's accession to
power more remote than ever, and
finally has succeeded in showing Ire
land that Mr.. Gladstone declines to
promise two vital points in the home
rule scheme.
The Standard, referring to the Amer
lean copyright bill, says that it hopes
that the msasure may become law. but
hopes also that it will not be many
years before it will be amended.
