PINE RIDGE, ). d., January 9.-TeS-
terday afternoon all the commands in
the field were ordered 10 march from
five TO six miles nearer the hoStiles.
Late last night the order was put into
effect. OF course ii attracted the at
tention Of the Indians. At intervals of
two or three days the Gordon will be
drawn more tightly around the hostiles
until they agree to come in peaceably
or be whipped into submission. The
disposition they display TO accept the
oyerturcS of General Miles is SuScepti-
blc of but one Interpretation, and
that is, they propose to surrender and
retain their arms or die in their
defense. This is backed up by the fact
that the majority Of those who have
come in from the hOstileS are squawS
and children, whom it desired TO get
ont of the way. Some bucks come in
occasionally, domesticate with the
fricndiies and at the same time retain
the feeling of hostility which impelled
them to flee the agency. The coming
in of Red Cloud is variously intcrpre ted.
His good faith is doubted by many be-
cause 1t is well known that he could not
have stolen away in the night from the
hostiles had the latter desired to retain
him in their midst.

A NEW RAILROAD
Projected From wayn.sburg. Pa, TO
Warrington.

A project is being agitated at Little
Washington for the construction OF a
narrow guagc railroad from Waynes-
burg. Greene county, to Warrington.
The distance is less than thirty miles,
and it j. claimed the line can be- con-
structed for $4,000 per mile, or 5000. 900
for the entire road. The JpWHdi OF
last evening said:
"a line drawn southwest by sOuth-a
- degree linc-from Oil City aud "A par
allel line drawn from Butler both extend
ing into West Virginia, will have the
borough of Washington almost IN the
center. The lines will enclose the Char.
tiers oil field. the Bridgcyille oil field, the
Wildwood district ana the town is well as
a coed part OF the oil Held around Man
nington. w Va. The general opinion
seems 70 be that the latter field will de-
yelope into wonderful oil producing ter
ritory and that il is the coming great field.
The only railway communication with II
is bv the Baltimore and OHIO line running
from Wheeling TO Grafton.
"Shippers Of goods from Washington
must send their freight TO Wheeling, dis
tance OF 33 miles. and tGen from Wheeling
TO Warrington, distance OF 80 miles,
making ~ miles in all.
The distance from WaynesDurg 20 Man
niugton is less than 80 miles, and from

the projected route Warrington could be
reached BY Washington shippers more con
veniently aud cheapy than by the present

such a road as this could be built at a
comparatively small cost. The csst Of

These figures are based upon rough calcu-
lations, although persons well acquainted
with such work consider them nominal.
The present Waynesburg and Washington
line cost a little more than 5000 per mile
however. no railroad could be built for
such figures now. The market prices Of

Stole His Friends Daughter.

becn created in North st. Louis by the
elopement of pretty Bertha NefT, daugh-
ter of one of the wealthieSt men in that
part of the city, and j. b. Nichols, a
prominent Republican politician. Both
disappeared on New Years Day, but
1t was not until to-day that their inti-
macy was known. Nichols was a mar
ried man and frequent visitor to the
Nef residence. Being an intimate
friend Of Neif nothing wrong was
thought of this. 1t appears that Nichols
took the girl at first to his own house,
Intending to keep her there, but his
wife ordered her away, and the couple
left. They are believed to have gone

In referring 90 the new election law the
document saws that the Low election
law in depriying the electOr of the right

cludes with the suggestion that in view
of the financial condition the LegiSla-
ture will be compelled TO raise the taxes
TO at least twenty-five cents on the one
hundred dollars. or TO authorize the
state officers 20 borrow more money for

The Dry Goods Trade.

New YORK, January 9-The tendency
for dry goods was toward expansion and
there was activity in goods reduced in
pIiCes, also in articles that are scarce, such
as wide sheetings and cambrics. The gen
cral request was conservative, but with
most descriptions Of goods participating.
The demand as a whole is scarcely commen-
surate with tho number OF buyers in the
market. There were no new developments.
The reductions made are not likely TO be
followed to any great extent. Tie market
is too well sold up for that Business in
woolens tends TO increase.
