was made that supper was ready, and
would continue until one o'clock a. IN.
1t lasted somewhat longer; it was i'm
possible 10 accommodate so large 4
crowd i'll so limited 4 space, and the
time was pcrforce extended. Over and
over again did tho dining room fill,
empty and refill itself. Tho narraw
hallway leading to the dining room was
crowded for two hours, so much so that
the ladies' were obliged, in order to
avoid disagrceable crowding, to pass
through the bar-room, where, however,
nothing more dangerous was to be en-
countered than few men drinking APP
pollinarus water.
During the height OF the dancing the
view presented from the gallery was
very beautiful. Many ladies took adj
vantage OF the opportunity and as
cended to the gallery. The fine music,
the bright lights and the brilliant
colors OF the ladies' costumes all united
in presenting 4 scene such as is not
often witnessed in Wheeling. On all
hands could be heard remarks express
sivc OF the feeling that the ball was 4
success. Strangers who were there
complimcnted members OF tho. various
committees on their successful manage
mcnt OF so difficult an undertaking.

THE APACHES! Eight of Them Raiding along the Border. Two More Victims of
 Our Government
 Bullets, One American Stands off Four of them With a Colts.
Catchum Shot to Death Without Warning While
 Asleep,

George Oaks and Slime Gallen came up this morning from Oso Negro and bring reports Of the doings of the Apaches which makes the situation one of more serious a nature than had been al first supposed.
 The killing oi Catchum occurred on "Wednesday morning about i o'clock The scene of the murder was at the foot of lIng hill. The two odrivers had dropped the trail wagons and gone to the top of a long heavy hill, as was customer with heavy loaded wagons Catchun not feeling we'll aud st the suggestion of the two eomr anions, he went 10 take rest. This was the last seen Of him alive. The unfortunate boy went to the side of the road and went to sleep under the shade Of a large aak tree. When found he had one bullet hole through the head and two through the body. After the kill ing ihe Indians went to one Of the wagons and took all of the bedding and helped themselves to canned goods and other provisions, not for getting to scatter plenty of provisions around on the ground. The boys at the top Of the nill had no: heard q shot or seen a sign Of Indians.
 After leaving the scene oi this mur- der. iiie hand sent te chInri.lars camp about eight miles from Oso Negro where an American and two Mexicsns and an Italian peddlsr were camped. They attacked this camp shooting the Italian in the hip making a probable fatal wound There was but one six shooter in the ca p and owned by the American who opened fire on the Apaches who were four iu number, three on foot and one on horseback. As soon as they found hat there were firearms in camp, the fNd- NODttt4tA EkdalAll was taken to Oso Negro and was alive when the stage left there
 On Saturday morning at Miller's ranch a courier brought in the news from Baehachi that me of Vicuna's vAqueros had been killed in a fight with eight Apaches who jumped a party of them the night previous. The Mexican cavalry went to the scene of the killing of Caichum 4s soon as notiied by Jim Kirk of the murder. There is no telling how many more unsuspecting victims Of the murder ous wretches have gone the same way of poor Catchum.

BLEACHED BONES. 4 Near by Mystery Which May Never be Solved. The Bones Of Two Men and a Woman
 Found in a Rifle Pit.

 Joseph Rathburn with his sister, Mrs Mark Smith and Miss Tracy went to ride yesterday down toward the river. They camped near the spring which was formerly known as Milk and Waters" place, about four miles this side 0i Charleston @ the right of the road at the base of a high hill They went from here on foot along the ravine. MT. Rathburn after goi g along some distance noticed to the right of the trail ana up on a steep hill. sort impr1vised fort which had been hurredly constructed by rolling stones together It excited his cur iousity and he climbed np to inyesti- gale ii Behind tha harricade sight met his eyes which startled him. Ia the blazing sun half covered with dirt which had washed over them, were the remains of three human beings, around the ground were tin cups and crockery plates and other uishes. They lay not far from each other. One skeleton was that of woman, evident ly one who had not been accustomed to frontier life, for her ribs and form showed evidence of tight facing, the short ribs being bent almost together. It was too late to inyestigate further and after taking one of the tin cups down to the spring, he found that ii was still perfect and held water.
 In one of the mems bodies was found a rag which had been twisted and in serted, evidently into s ,uud to stop the flow oi blood.
 The front Of the breastworks faced tSe g Jlch and it was evident thas the parties had expected a fight or attack and prepared for it. How long the bodies had been there will nos be determined until an investigation is made and the dirt dug away from the skeletons; there must be something underneath which will lead to solu- ton of the mystery.

BRAZILIAN PEBBLE.
Tt Makes No Better Lens Than . Good
Quality Of Glass.

Tt Makes No Better Lens Than . Good
Quality of Glass.
What Is called Brazilian pebble Is
often nothing but fine quality Of
glass, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The real brazilian pebble Is a
kind of rock crystal, found in many
parts of the world, but In great pro-
fusion in Brazil, and hence the name.
There Is a pet superstition that the
Brazilian pebble glasses preserve the
sight, but no solid foundation for IL
exists. Fine glass Is every whit as good
and costs far less on account Of the
labor and care required TO grind the
crystal 10 the proper shape.
The only real advantage the crystal
lenses have over those of glass Is in the
hardness of the material, which rem
ders them much less liable to become
scratched and SO dimmed, but other
wise the glass is as good. There are
several tests by which TO distinguish
the genuine pebble from the glass imi-
tation, but the most easily applied is
that of touch. The real pebble will
feel far colder TO the finger OF tongue
than the glass, SO much 30 that after
touching glass lens and then one of
crystal any one viii be able TO detect
the difference.

was, according to Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper, selected as a graphic ex-
preston Of Warren's attitude on Little
Round Top during the most desperate
struggle on the field Of Gettysburg. 1t
has been approved by the Generals
widow. While spirited and even dra-
matte in pose it is faithful in portrait
ure, the military and defiant feature of
his elastic figure being very pro-
nounced.
The figure will be Of bronze, heroic
in size-that is seven and half feet
Highland will stand on mass of gran
ite powders taken from the historic
spot of Little Round Top itself with
the consent of the Gettysburg Battle
Field Association.
Although the contract between the
sculptor and Warren Post does not ex-
press the fact that the memorial is TO be
erected there its destination, without
any doubt, will be Prospect Park. which
ultimately will have several expressive
and imposing memorials Of the civil
war.
II will be recalled that General War

under General Hooker during the Get
tysburg fight, and went to Little Round
Top on the morning of the sec
ond day Of the battle. He found the
signal corps gathering their flags to
leave the hill. He also discovered that
Hoods Texans were fanking Sickles'
corps, and threatened disaster to the
Union army. General Warren, by
ruse de guerre, made the enemy believe
we were stronger than we were, and
dashed down the height in search Of
troops. Tie secured n brigade and bat
terry, and led them up TO the scene just
as Hoods men were coming up the other
side of the summit, and then ensued u
bloody hand-to-hand fight which re-
mains. perhaps, the thrilling incident of
the civil war. Mr.. Baerer has wrought
the face, and attitude of this statue with
a determination and eagerness TO excel
that make it one of the best productions
of the sculptor's art serving TO COM
mcmorate the brave and signal deeds of
either Confederate or Union soldier.
The chairman of the monument COM
mittee is Mr. Is. g. Smith.
