The Inscription.
"The Sioux Indians of the Redwood
and Yellow Medicin eagency rose to open
revolt ON Aug. rs, 1852. They slaugh-
tered nearly all the whites at the said
agencies around them. Led by their
chief, Little Crow, they moved down the
river towards New Ulm. On Aug. 10
they reached the settlement of Milford,
about seven miles west of New Ulm,
killing great many inhabitants. In the
afternoon of the 10th about 100 of their
savage warriors undertook an assault
upon the city, on which occasion many
citizens fell and number of buildings
were burned down: still they did not
succeed in taking the hnrriedly erected
barricades. During the continuance Of
the fight the advance guard of Captain
y. Flandrau's company, of Nicollet
county, about fifteen men under the
command of L. M. Boardman, came into
the city and the savages retreated. Up
70 tHis uIhc the aeIenSe was led by Cap
tain Jacob Nix. About o'clock
In the evening of Aug. 10 there
arrived in the city strong
force consisting OF Captain Flandrau's
company, of Nicollet county, together
with company from LIE Sueur and took
possession of the city, after which there
arrived reinforcements to the number of
several hundred. On the Goth Captain
Flandrau was chosen commander-in-
chief, and the defenses were strength
ened. On the 23d the Indians. this
time numbering about $50 men. at
10 o'clock in the morning, once
more attacked New Ulm, repeating their
assault until noon ON the Gath. The at
tacks were very violent, and desperate
was the defense One hundred and
eighty buildings were destroyed during
the fight, and only the part Of the city
within the barricades remained. Thirty
fout Of the defenders were killed, and
about sixty wounded. At noon on the
24th, Capt. Cox of st. Peter arrived with
reinforcements. On the 2Sth the city
was vacated and the inhabitants safely
conducted to Mankato."

Sensational Rumors Growing Out OF the
Middle in Connecticut.

HARTFORD, CoNN., March l4.-Speaker
Paige was in consultation with Gen. S. r.
Marvin, the Republican candidate for
Governor. at New Haven, yesterday.
which gave rise to the rumOr that the Re-
publicans were contemplating some move
TO spring on Tuesday, when the Legislature
reassembles.
The Speaker said the only plan the Re
pubicans had in mind was to pass the so
called Judson bill and send il TO the Demo
cratic Senate for action. He did not eX-
pect. however, that the Senate would con
cur in the Judson proposition, as the Dem
ocrats in the House had fought ii vigor-
ously. The Judson bill is generally attrl0-
uted to Speaker Lynd Harrison.
a report came from Middletown, the
home of DR.. Alsop, the Democratic Lieu
tenant Governor, that he and all the other
Democratic candidates for the State offices
wer going TO invade the Capitol next week
and. by the aid Of Comptroller Staub, Dem
ocrat. who is custodian OF the Capitol, take
possession of all the offices and capture the
great seal of the State. This rumor was
accredited TO man who IS connected with
DR. Alsop in a fid 1ciary capacity. Govern
or Bulkely has doubtless heard the rumor,
for when he leav the Executive chamber
the doors are car fully locked by deputy
sheriff who weigh 25O pounds.
When Gen. M'rwin was asked If he
would come TO Hartford 20 repel such an
invasion, he said b" did not believe any

SENSATIONAL COURT SCENE.
A Disinherited Sons Creditors Seeking to
Break "a Will-EXposes the Plot.

ST. PAUL, March 1.-THE fight for the
millions Of the lato Edward Langevin be-
gan in earnest this morning in the Probate
Court, and the testimony brought out was
sensational.
Mr.. Langevin's son, George W., had led
a wild life and incurred debts amounting
to 500, 900, and in his will Mr.. Langevin
left his spendthrift boy nothing. This an
gered George w. Langevin's creditors,
and they are now seeking to break
the will on the ground that Ed
ward Langevin was insane for sew
eral years before his death. The widow
admitted many of his eccentricties.
The greatest sensation came this after
noon. when the disinherited son, George
w. Langevin, took the stand and said
George w Gray robbed me of $1,000, of
which | never got a dollar, and g. w.
Youngman robbed me Of s. 900, of which
never got the part of dollar, and then he
came TO my Office and told me that if
would testify so as to open the will he
would give me half but could not do it. -
That's lie, said Youngman, in open
court
ITS not lie" said young Langevin,
and the two men started to have rough
and-tumble fight, but officers pro- -ntec a
serious encounter.
Young Langeviu is trying to prevent the
breaking of the will, though if declared
void he would inherit at least S3OO,OW after
all his debts are paid.

THk IRON SITUATION.
Outlook Less Gloomy Than the Oracies
OF Trade Would Make Believe.

PITrsBuKG. March IA There is nothing
encouraging TO say Of the iron and steel
trade. Business in all branches is stale,
fiat and Improbable" and all the author
tiles talk az the future in very doleful
strain II IS not probable, however, that
the iron and steel business is going TO the
dogs. though some of those most cOnsplcu-
ously identified with it who have an axe
or two TO grind would like TO have 1t ap-
pear so But there Is no doubt ABOUT pres
ent conditions The dullness is intense, all
the business passing being on OLD contracts,
excepting on some OF the minor lines. Re
parding the future il may be said that
while tue outlook is not particularly cheer
inc II is not 50 bad as some have declared,
and unless AL s'gns fail good average
years business will be consummated.

of the situation says: There IS a contln-
ued feeling Of uncertainty caused by the
coke strike. which is the key 10 the sltua-
tion As long as the strike continues the

expected that the report for February will
show very material reduction IN the dls-

supply of the raw material Is rapidly be
ing reduced FIrnacemen are tmld about
contracting for future delivery, as they
have no assurance of being able to secure

buy ahead. as they are impressed with the
belief that as soon as the strike y over the
price of pig iron will go lower
Advices from the Shenango and Mahonlng
valleys state that stocks there are rapidly
being reduced Liberal purchases are
being made for shipment TO Cleveland,

looks very much as if there would nave 10
be a cheapening in thecost OF ore. coke and
