Troops Rushing to Pocatello to Prevent
 PillaEe and Murder.
 SALT LAKE CTY, Utah, Jan. 9.-A special from Pocatello says that there is great excitement there over the action of the Shoshone Iudians. They indulged in a war dance and otherwise evinced desire for bloodshed.
 Mayer Jim, their chief, dsclared that the Indians would fight, giving as req son that the "bad Indians got heap grub and blankets; good Indians got nothing. Indians heap mad; will fight" The Indians are in war paint and cannot be restrained.
 Later advices say that the Governors Boise City have been ordered to Poca- tello, and by this time they ought to be en route. The town is in state of wild excitement. Not over 200 men at the place can be mustered for service, and ranchmen and cowboys from the sur rounding country are assembling to the rescue.
 The people of Pocatello are pleading with the railroad people for trains to remove their families from the town. Requests from Blackfoot, Idaho, for transportation of arms have been sent to the Union Pacific people here. The young bucks have been gathering all day, and a cowboy reports gang of 200 pillaging the ranches outside of the town of Blackfoot, A friendly Indian said to-day that the Indians are gather | ing in bands and will then begin to pill lage and murder.

British Trades Unions Rallying to the
 Support of the Railway Men.
 LONDON, Jan. 9.-The British trades unions are rallying on all sides to the support of the Scotch railway strikers, and the prospects of the companies are not so good as a few days ago, when the strike appeared to be about to co1- lapse.
 The non-union men from England are disgusted and frightened, and numbers of them are deserting the employ of the companies. Funds are supplied to all desiring to go back to England.
 A director of one of the railways mar rowly escaped from a mob in Glasgow last evening.
 The directors of the North British Railway announce the failure of their ef- forts to arrange an amicable settlement of the differences between the company and the men. The feeling among the strikers and their sympathizers is grow ing more bitter, and the situation is serious

A sARRARic CEREMONY.
The Terrible Experience of a Young In.

The Terrible Experience of a Young In.
 dian Girl.
 The life of the Mission Indian maiden is not altogether a happy one, especially if she is pretty, judging from the fate which befell comedy daughter of the tribe at Mesa Grande recently. The San Diego Union says letter received here from one of the most reliable resi- dents of that district relates 8 thrilling and barbarous incident The corre- spondent says:
 ''ln the autumn after harvest is over the Indians hold this fearful orgie-hu- man sacrifice. Each clan by itself, at the burial place of it's own tribe, gath CTS in from all the country round and proceeds to frightcn away the evil spirit by offering human sacrifice to the gods, the sacrifice always consist ing of the most comedy young maiden belonging to the clan. This was prac- ticed here recently. In this case it was young girl about thirteen years of age, whose face was nearly as white as my own, and whose long tresses would have graced the head of queen. She has been attending school at one of the white schools of the neighbor- hood for several years and is as well educated as the average country maiden of that age as far as school-books go.
 But alas, when at home she is in that hotbed of vice, the Indian ranch erie, and all the outside influence counts for naught in cOunteracting the per niclous influences which surround her there. huge fire was built and the usual preliminarics of grooming, chant ing, fat-footed stamping, and all that sort of jugglery that is common on such occasions was gone through with in ex- tra fervor on this occasion, and while this was in progress the fire had burned down somewhat and lost its fiercest heat.
 'When it reached this stage a huge pile of very green brush is brought and thrown upon the fire, making the most binding smoke you can well imagine, and while this is at it's height the maiden is bound, a blanket is thrown over the smoldering green brush, and amid the most demoniacal cries and shouts she is thrown thereon and the whole mad crowd vie with each other in piling the brush over her until, in this case, it was as high and broad as squatter's cabin. Of course all this brush is green, and is not calculated really to cremate the girl, but only to come as near to it as they dare The smoke is enough to kill any one but an Indian, and if the pile should blaze up, as green brush sometimes does, nothing could save her from death. It was terrible scene, and all this in the midst of civilized community"

TO FORGE THE ISSUE
A Big Battle May be Reported
 at Any Moment.
PRESSING UPON THE sAvAGEs.
General Miles Says the Fight Will Take
 Place Near His Camp.

The Soldiers Are Closing In Upon the
 Redskins from All sides-A Plan to
 Drive Them Into a Funnel-A Masked
 HOtchkiss Gun that Will Sweep the Val-
 Iey-Red Cloud Surrenders.
 PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s. D., Jan. g. A crisis is approaching. The cordon of soldiers under Generals Brooke and Carr surrounding the hostiles are marching, and are very close to the camp of the h. dians.
 This move has been discovered by the Indians, and they have a big force of pickets in every direction. A strong line of them is placed not far from this camp.
 General Miles is determined to force the issue from now on. He holds the opinion that a battle is imminent, and believes that it will take place very close to this camp. He favors this point, believing that he can defeat any number of the enemy.
 The soldiers are pressing upon the red skins from the rear and Hanks. The mouth of the funnel is Pine Ridge, and it is here that the savages will be driven and crushed. The hostiles are nearly
  that they will not surrender until the soldiers were taken to the railroad.
 Preparations for receiving the red skins in their rush through the funnel are now completed. A trench has been dug west of the school house, with bags of dirt piled up for breastworks. A Hotchkiss gun, masked with saplings, has been planted in such position that it can sweep the valley in all directions. Notifications on the hillsides to the north and east have also been finished, and rifle pits have been dug every where.
 Buffalo Bill, accompanied by Buckskin Jack, arrived at noon from Nashville in the face of stiff breeze. He was warmly greeted by several hundred Indians, who thronged about the suffers store, and later he called on General Miles. He bore letter from Governor Thayer, set ting forth Colonel Cody's connection with the State militia, aud assuring the General of the hearty cooperation of the State troops.

CoNNECTIcUT's CONTEST.

An Exciting RumOr that the Democratic
 Officers Had Been Sworn In.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. 9.-The Senate has adjourned until next Tuesday. The House has taken a recess until Jan- uary 20.
 There was much excitement in the capital just before the Senate adjourned over a rumor that the Democratic State officers had been sworn in and were about to claim the offices. The doors were locked and other precautions were taken, but no movement was made, and, as now reported, nothing of the kind was contemplated.
 The House Committee of Inquiry into the canvass of votes for State officers held session and the members discussed the scope of their inquiry, but ad- joined without final action to next We'd nesday.
 The House Democrats held @ caucus immediately after recess to consider 8 nomination for United States Senator, but decided not to hold any regular nominating caucus until the evening of January 19.
 The present situation of affairs is that the Senate has declared the Democratic State officers elected; the House has set about an inquiry as to whether any one was elected, and, meanwhile, the old State officers, Republicans, hold their offices, although Lieutenant Governor Merwin has noti appeared in the Senate, and that body is presided over by its own President pro tenn.

MuRDERoUsLY ASSAULTED.
Desperate Attempt to Rob a We'll Known
 Stock Raiser.

MoRR1sTowN, N. J., Jan. 9.-Charles Eisensmith a wealthy resident of this place, was almost murdered while driv- ing on the outskirts of this town during the evening. He was returning to his home in Jockey Hollow, and when in a deserted part of Western avenue was stopped by a stranger wearing a slouch hat, who asked for a ride. The request was granted and the man had no sooner got into the wagon before he caught Eisensmith by the throat and struck him several times with thick piece of iron.
 Eisensmith did not at once lose con- sciousness, and a desperate struggle en- sued, during which the men fell from the wagon into the road. A wagon ap- proaching scared the highwayman and he left his victim and took to the woods. His identity is unknown. Eisensmith, who is we'll known throughout the State for his stock of blooded horses, is at present in a critical condition. The as- sault is the first of it's kind in this city for years, and has created considerable excitement.

HoNoRs FOR CLEVELAND.

 Mems Democratic Society.

Mems Democratic Society.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-The banquet giveE by the Young Mems Democratic Association in the Academy of Music last night was a brilliant affair and a great political gathering. Leading Dem- ocrats from all parts of the country, in- cluding ex-President Cleveland were present.
 The banquet began at 2 o'clock and covers were laid for over 609 diners. The decorations were profuse. The Associa- is said to have expended $10,O00 in the preparations for the banquet and the scene presented when all iwere seated at the table has probably never been ex- celled. MT. Cleveland occupied the seat of honor, Mir. Bayard being on his right and Governor Pattison at his left.
 At the conclusion of the banquet proper, the balconies were opened for the admission of the public, and were soon filled with a brilliant gathering, mostly ladies in evening dress. Promi- nent among the guests was Mrs. Cleve- land. Her entrance with a party of ladies was greeted with applause, which was redoubled when she kissed her hand to her distinguished husband, who sat nearly opposite to her.
 When Mir. Cleveland rose to respond to his toast, all the diners waved napkins and handkerchiefs, the speaker remaining several minutes on his feet before he was permitted to proceed. His speech, which was a long one, was upon the Principles of True Democracy" the toast to which he responded.
 Governor-elect Pattison's speech was received withsmuch applause.
 Ex-Secretary of State Bayard re- sponded to the toast, "The Federal Government-Its Perpetuity Depends Upon Constitutional Limitations" His address was mainly eulogistic of the Cleveland administration.

THE HEREsY TRIAL ENDED.
1t is Conceded that the Rev. NfacQueary
 Will bs Found Guilty.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 9.-The famous MacQueary trial is now at an end, all but the decision of the court. After the ar- guments on both sides were completed the court withdrew until it could formu- late its opinion. It is expected that 8 decision will be reached in short time, as it is quite generally conceded that the Rev. MacQueary will be found guilty.
 In his closing argument Rev. Mac Queary stated explicitly that his object in writing book was not to create a sensation but to, if possible, assist in conforming Christianity to common sense and 18th century thoughts.
 In closing with the final reply to the prosecutor, he said the church and the prosecutor were dogmatists and that the latter admitted that the council of Nice did not insist upon virgin birth, and literal resurrection of the body.
 Rev. MacQueary has been advised throughout the trial by Unitarian clergyman, and it is anticipated that he will adopt that creed.

STORMY SCENES AT THE CAPITOL
Almost Riot to Secure Control of the
 House of Representatives.

The Sheriff Bursts Open the Doors an d Serves Writ on the Speaker-The New State Officers Sworn In Amid Confusion. The Contest in Connecticut Still Unde- cided-Republioans fin Control.
 LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 9.-It looked at one time here as though there would be a riot in tbe> legislative halls. In the morning all the doors of the Represents, tives' Chamber were closely guarded and none but members of the Legislature, State officers and persons having busi- ness inside were admitted.
 All the members were on hand prompt 1y, although they found great difficulty in pushing their way through the crowds that filled the corridors and besieged the Capitol at all points. The Alliance mem- bers had taken possession of the House at five o'clock in the morning. They placed the Speaker in the chair and put 8 cordon of assistant sergeant-at-arms around him.
 When Lieutenant Governor Mickeljohn appeared he was not allowed to take his seat, but stood in front of the Speaker ready to odil the joint session to order. At 9 o'clock the Speaker issued an or der for the arrest of Lieutenant-Gov- ernor Mieckeljohn, on the charge of mis- conduct in office and breach of the peace. The Lieutenant-G Governor was not taken into custody.
 Both sides had a force of sergeant-at- arms within call, and any attempt on either side to proceed with the canvass of the vote would have precipitated the row. To avoid this, committee from each party was sent with a statement of the case to the Supreme Court.
 Troops Ordered Out.
 Governor Thayer ordered out & com. pany of National Guards, and at Il o'clock they stacked arms in the corri- dors of the capitol. Crowds had arrived to attend the inauguration of Governor elect Boyd, and considerable impatience was shown at the delay in counting the votes. The militia was called out only as @ precautionary measure.
 The Doors Burst Open.
 At noon the Supreme Court issued a writ of mandamus, directing the Speaker of the House to canvass the returns. The sheriff of Lancaster County, with deputies and bailiff of the Supreme Conrt, burst in the doors of the House, and fought their way through the crowd of Alliance men guarding the entrance to the chamber.
 The Speaker of the House proceeded to open the returns, and the Democratic Governor, Boyd, and the full Republican State ticket, with the one exception, was found elected on the face of the returns.
 Thayer Holds the Fort.
 Governor-elect Boyd called on Gov ernor Thayer, and was informed that the latter would not give up the office, on the ground that Boyd was not citi zen of the United States, and therefore not eligible. Governor Thayer has barri caded the executive office, and remains inside with policemen and @ company o1 militia on guard. It is impossible tc reach him to ascertain his purposes, but it is understood that he will remain Governor, if possible. until all questions regarding his successor are settled.
