The Chisnel-Engleman foot race of

this town on the 18th, seems to be the
topic of interest among the sporting
fraternity of Schuylkill and Carbon

meeting with success and are under
training for the event. Chisnel is
now resident of Blackwood, Schuyl-
kill county, and is being supported by
the coming contest by the people of
that section. He was former resident
of Luzerne, during which time he
figured in a number of interesting
sprints. Engleman is a young man and
has been a resident Of Weatherly all his
life. He has the record of being the
fastest hundred yard runner in Carbon
county.

Unable to Leave His Room and His
Condition Regarded as Critical.
Especial to THE WORLD
LOWELL, Mass, December 1.-Gen-
eral Butler is seriously i'll at his home
in this city. The gravest doubts of
his recovery are entertained.
General Butler was 70 years old on
November 5. He has aged rapidly Of
late, and those who have seen him in
court during the last few months could
hardly fail to remark the change.
There was the same witty remark and
sarcastic rejoinder which everyone had
come to expect from General Butler,
but there was more feebleness Of step
and greater trembling Of hand and
voice than formerly. Little by little
he has been Withdrawing from prac-
tice.

APAcHEs CREATING ALARM.
An Arizona settler Killed and Major
Downing Shot at From Ambush.
King Street
Especial to TnE WoRLD.l


DENVER, Col, December 2.-Word
comes from Wilcox, Ariz., that the
Apaches are on the warpath and kill
ing people. Settlers are arming to pro-
tect themselves.
Major William L. Downing. who has
a saw-mill about thirty miles from
there, rode into Wilcox in great haste
Thursday night and reported that B.
FL. Daniels, one Of his employees, had
been murdered, while chopping skid
poles in the woods, by band of these
Indians, who disappeared soon after
the killing. Daniels was Canadian
by birth, and served in the Union
army during the war. A brother lives
near Toronto.
A telegram subsequently received
from Fort Bowie says Major Downing
was shot from ambush last evening
while riding in his buggy and when
within a mile of his home. He was
wounded in the left wrist and side, but
not fatally.
Robbery was not the object Of the
murderers. 1t is the season when the
redskins become uneasy, and des-
patch says it would be well for all citi-
zens to look to their arms before more
lives are wantonly taken. Bowie is
eighteen miles from the scene Of the
killing.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December L.
1.-THE convicts shall be returned to the

in the State to Do il, said GOV. Buch-
anan last night.
!. When win they BIZ returned, Gov
ernor n liz was asked.

" VIII you send d military guard
with them p
II cannot tell you that. l can
simply say that the convicts shall be
returned to the mines if it takes every
able-bodied man in the State to do it.
Is that not enough ~
The lessees have made a demand mp
on the State for the convicts. This de-
mand was answered promptly that
when conyicts had been captured they
would be returned if supplied with suf-
ficient guard and proper quarters. The
proper quarters VIII be built at once.
This will take two weeks.
The question Of the guard required
not little consideration. The present
intention is 10 provide abous~50 men
each for Briceville and Coal Creek and
100 men for Oliver Springs All these
will be in the pay Of the lessees.
Twenty-Five at each place, it is thought,
win be militiamen specially enlisted foi
