Formed by the Troops Around the Hos
tile Indians.
PINE RIDGE, Jan. Gen. Brooke and
stiff, together with eight companies Of the
Secon infantry and all of the Ninth cav
airy that had been here. started into the
field this morning via the Oelrichs road to
Beaver creek, eighteen miles almost due
west of this agency. From there they will
swing ont into as long q line as practica-
BILE, thus forming the western part
of the northern side of hollow
square which it now seems it has
been decided to form about the hostiles.
Carr's command has arrived at Wounded
Knee, near the point where the battle took
place, which is six miles east of Porcupine
butte, or about sixteen miles northeast of
here. at Wounded Knee postoffice. Thus it
seems Carr's command is to constitute the
east and north sides of the square. Three
companies of the First infantry from San
Francisco have already arrived and six
more are expected tonight to replace the
Second.
scout came in this morning and report
ed that the main body of hostiles had
moved back twelve miles from the agency
and toward the Bad Lands on the north. An
other arrived this afternoon and reported
the reds indulging III q wild war dance only
eight miles from here. A party of Indian
battle and found nine Indians who were
wounded in the fight still alive. Two of
them had been taken to a log hut near by
and were being cared for by a squaw that
had remained behind. The other seven
were found lying in gullies.

BATTLE WITH THE PRIESTS.
'arneIlites Confronted with tho Prospect
Of y Bitter Fight.

F"rheliites Confronted With tho Prospect
Of - Bitter Fight.
CoRK, Jan. 1.-The feud existing between
the Irish bishops and ParneIlites, which has
been smouldering since the election in
North Kilkenny, again burst forth fercely
to-day, and the most bitter feeling prevails
on both sides. Mayor Hongan, an earnest
supporter Of Parneli, was installed at the
town hall as mayor Of Cork to-day, amid a
scene of intense enthusiasm on the pnrt Of
Parnellites. No anti Parnellites were pres
snt. A rumor was circulated early in the
day that there was trouble brewing for the
ParnelIite mayor. Tho trouble man
ifested itself when arrangements were
being made during the morning for
the customary installation ceremony
at tho Cntholic cathedral, which
has always formed part OF the days pro-
ceedings. Tho Parnellites were then in
formed, first by rumor and afterwards by
positive fact, that the installation proceed
ings at tho cathedral must be abandoned,
as Bishop OCallaghan refused to receive
the Parnellite mayor. This information
was greeted with many signs Of extreme in
dlRnatlon by the Parncllitea, who are now
convinced that the battle with the priest
hood is only in its early stages, and that u
long and desperate struggle for supremacy
between themselves and the priests may bc
looked forward TO throughout Ireland if
Parnell remains Mt the head Of one faction
OF the Irish party.

Worlds Fair In Brazil.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-Information has
besn received from Brazil, the Youngest of
republics, that it proposes to hold Worlds
fair of its own to celebrate Columbus dis
covery. 1t is not the intention to conflict

it as an auxiliary thereto. The proposition
is to open it January, '93, at Rio Janeiro,
and after few months close it and trans
fer the whole exhibit to Chicago in time
for the opening of the fair there. The Bra
zilians ask the cooperation of the United
States in carrying out the project. The
matter has been informally brought to the
attention of the state department and con-
oress. 1t is proposed to ask an appropria-
tion of 100000 for United States exhibit.

USED MOTH BALLS.
agreeable Experience Of u Washington
Lady With the Detergent.

WAsnfsaToN, Jan. i.--There is one lady
III Washington who when she puts away
her winter furs at the end of this season,
will probably not use moth balls to protect
them. Tho puDgent odor OF this detergent
has peculiar effect on some organisms,
ms she tns lcarned by most disagrceable
experience during her winter shopping.
The lady in question il tho wIfo of a gov
crnment official OF high standing. just
before Christmas she took from a clothes
press fnr~trimmed cloak which had been
laid away since last winter and forgot to
remove from it's secret recesses tho moth
balls with which it Was powerfully charged.
Attired in this garment she entered Il jew
eller's establishment recently opened on
Pennsylyania avenue and asked to be
shown some diamond rings.
The proprietor was alone in his store. As
the lady leaned over the tray TO examin Q
the rings Whit Of the odor Of moth balls
struck him. With hurried motion he
thrust the tray of rings back in the case
and rushed to the door, where he stood for
some time initiating his lungs with the
crisp, wintry air. Then returning ne ran
to his telephone. All this time time the
lady customer was standing in wide-eyed
wOnderment. AS soon as an opportunity
offered she asked him il he was sick, and
he gasped out that he had been overcome
by n sudden sense of suffocation, but WAS
better now.
The lady resumed her purchasing and se-
lected costly ring with request that it be
sent to her husbands address. As she left
the store she noticed that someone was ap-
parently following her. In an hours time
she reached her residence and WIS aston.
ished to find her husband closeted with a
detective, who had informed him that it
had been reported at police headquarters
that Renteely dressed diamond thief had
attempted to spray chloroform in the face
OF jeweler and when detected had given
her address as his house. The detective
had Just completed description of the
lady and her dress as furnished to the po-
lice. when the lady herself entered, and was
at once greeted by the official rs his wife.
The explanations that followed made the
situation scarcely less embarrassing. The
ring was returned to the jeweller with an
admonition to be more careful in future in
noting the difference in odor between
chioroform and moth balls.
