Shocking Double Tragedy in

M|INNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Jan. l5.-Maj.
r. II. Henderson, superintendent of
police, today ordered every one vol the
twenty two gambling houses Of the Flour
City to go out of business with the strik-
ing of 6 O'Clock this evening. This sup
preston of the knights of the green cloth
CAME about in a rather amusing manner.
A week ago there was a change Of
administration aud the proprietor OF the
Syndicate, the largest gambling house
in the city, imagining that he was solid
with the new mayor, got the editor Of one
OF the morning papers to print one Sun
day morning 4 list of all the gambling
places except his " and three Others.
with an editorial TRADE upon the curse of
gambling. expecting the mayor to close
up all the places mentioned, leaving his
own large establishment a monopoly Of the
business. On Monday one of the even
ing papers supplied the omission, and
called conspicuous attention to what was
wanted by the Syndicate. This settled the
matter with Mayor Winston, and he
ordered the instant suppression of every
crap, faro and poker game in the city.
chief Henderson summoned the pro-
prietors of twenty joints before him at 4
o'clock this afternoon and informed them
that arrest would follow the slightest dis
obedience Of the general order to close up.

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.
The Hostile Indians Return to
Pine Ridge Agency.
Big Road Gives Up Nine Guns
Belonging to His Band.
Gen. Miles Will Not Search
For Hidden Weapons.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, jan. l5.-Thls
afternoon the Brules abandoned their
proposed camp near Red Clouds house
and pitched their tepees with the
Ogalallas, forming a camp nearlY-a-wile
and a half in length. The main part of
the camp extends westward from White
Clay creek up 10 the bluffs. on the sum.
nit of which the Indians have posted
pickets to guard against surprise. Since
the surrender by Big Road OF the nine
guns today Ut thing has been heard or re-
ceived from the bostiles.
Tonight the military pickets are watch.
ing the hostile camp as vigilantly as ever.
Tomorrow it is expected that other chiefs
will turn over t, Agent Pierce the arms
of their followers, but there is doubt
whether the surrender will be any more
complete than was that of Big Roads
band today. Big Roads band did in this
matter Just the same as did the warriors
OF Big Foot.
The searching of the tepecs of the lat
ter was followed by the Wounded Knee
massacre. Doubt is expressed that Gen
Miles will order a search. 1t is also quite
certain that he will not seek for hidden
weapons in the bad lands or near the canp
sites which the hostlles have abandoned
Such being the case, the Indians will hardly
miss the weapons they have surrendered,
knowing they may at any time regain
possession Of those they have stored away
The settlement of the matter. without the
disarming OF the Indians, will be one Of
great interest.
All the attachments of troops have
moved uD and a military Gordon sill sur
rounds the hostiles.

The fact that the f. NJ. B. A. members

New YORK, Jan. lL.-Lulu Hewitt,
the l4-Year old daughter Of Capt. S. s.
Hewitt, of ISL Schermerhorn street,
Brooklyn, was one of the most attractive
girls in public school Is, on State street
and Third avenue, Brooklyn. Her large
dark eyes and long dark hair have been
the admiration of her sc~hoolmatos. She
will be an obi Of much interest when
go pa'ars ner classroom tomorrow
mUruuaE : had an adventure this at
ternoon whIcn caused her big black eyes
to overflow with tears whenever she re-
called it, and which will temporarily de-
stroy the uniformity of her flowing locks.
While she was returning to school after
lunch and had reached the corner of
NeviDs and Schermerhorn streets a man
staalthily approached from behind, and
before she knew what he was doing
sheared off five or six inches of her hair
almost from side to side. Her hair was
tied behind her back in a loose knot of
pink ribbon, and before using the shears
the man must have undone the knot, for
the ribbon with no knot in it was found
on the sidewalk at the spot where the
occurrence took place. When she was
able TO turn around she saw the man run
ming through Nevins street. Picking up
the piece of ribbon from the sidewalk, she
hurried to her home. crying all the way
as if her heart would break. Mrs. Hewitt
notified the police authorities, and two de-.
t%ectives were detailed on the case. They
have very few facts to work upon as the
girl could give no description of tie man,
except hat he wore a dark coat and was
of a medium size. Capt. Hewitt, the
father of the Girl, is the commander ofthe
steamer d. X. Baker, and is at present at
Savannah. Florence Billings, another
pupil in school Is, lost some of her hair
in the same name a couple of months
ago.

Take it altogether the outlook for

''building the house to suit himself, NOR
of him who lis going to live inside the
house, not outside" and who Is therefore
loftily Indifferent to the street aspect Of
his house; but each, even the last per-
son, is becoming infrequent.
In the past, and to some degree at
present, w stern cities have been and
are influenced by men whose lives have
been absorbed by things too material to
leave them much leisure for art; but
even in the case of such men there is q
marked indisposition to dictate in direc-
lions where their knowledge is incom-
plete. They have a large openness and
unbiased attitude of mind. and a genu-
inc and earnest desire to ''get the best"
In the west is less often found than in
the east the aesthetic crank" and it is
lso true that life in the west is less CON
ventional, freer, less restrained by arti-

things is perhaps more frankly en-

New YORK, Jan. I5.-The passage of
the unlimited silver coinage bill by the
senate furnished the handspring for opera.
tions in the stock market today. Alto
gether the influence was adverse 10 val
ues. It's most marked effect was seen in
a material decline in silver certificates.
which, if anything, it was expected would
be benefited by such a measure. Another
effect Of the passage of the bill was the
~stiffening OF rates of exchange caused by
large purchases by people who fear the
outcome o. such legislation. Considerable
feverishness aud irreRularily were dis
played in the regular list during the day,
and in the last hour there was a large
amount of short stock put on the market

The Bill in the House.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Is The silver
bill has been. under the rules of the house.
referred to the committee on coinage,
weights aud measures, o fwhich Wickham,
of Ohio, is chairman. The silver men in
the house have been actively engaged in
missionary work 10 the interest of free
coinage. They are ~sanguiue of ultimate
success and are certain the bill cannot be
kept indefinitely in committee, and that
within a reasonable time the coinage com
mittee will order a report rade, notwith-
standing all h efforts TO prevent the bill
having an opportunity for consideration.
Bartiue of Nevada, one of the outspok-
en- Republican advocates of tree coinage
on the committee, said today that he was
confident of getting the silver bill back to
the house. de thought the sentiment to-
wards silver hal grown much more favor
able than it was last session, and that a
good many Republicans were not inclined
to underrate the influence silver had on
the recent elections.
The Star says: From the general tenor
of conversation among the silver majority
it was apparent they regarded their
victory as merely due to the force OF an
irresistible popular demand, which they
believe will make itself felt in a similar
manner in the house, and ultimately in
the executive mansion. The more cautious
and conservative friends OF silver are in
cllned to think the action of Yesterday will
prove to have been a fortunate thing for
the country. 1t may serve to satisfy the
strong cravings of the West aud South
for financial relief, and thus prevent a re-
course to more extreme measures in the
way of sub-treasury schemes, fat money,
etc, which are moditated so seriously by
the Farmers Alliance and rural political
a9itstors in the interior of the country.
The defeated party takes matter calmly,
but rather gloomily.
