GUTHRIE, o. T. september 2e.-Cour
iers who have arrived here this after
noon give the following particulars sno
horrible details which attended the
opening of the government town site OF
Chandler In the Sac and Fox reserva
tion which was opened to settlement
one week ago. The town site was
opened TO settlement at - o'clock yes
terday and the scene which followed
the volley OF musketry which announced
the opening OF the town site oeggars
description.
A mass of 5000 excited mon and
women, intent upon securing lot had
gathered about the boundary OF the
town. At i2 o'clock sharp, the signal
was given and with a mighty yell from
5000 throats and amid the cracking OF
whips and volleys OF oaths, shouts and
curses, a conglomerate mass OF men and
women on horse and foot, rushed Ike
maniacs for the town lots.
They clambered up the steep
cliff like soldiers charging
fortress. The rush was toward lot 3s,
which was reserved for u court house.
AS the angles OF the advancing lines
met many riders were unborsed aud
hurled pell neil into the road. Many
persons are reported killed and others
as having received severe injuries.
Miss Daisy, representative OF the
Guthrie NtlCs, was thrown from her
horse at the beginning OF the race, and
striking her head on rock was killed.
The excited and merciless crowd had
no time to attend the dying, and rode
over the body Of the unfortunate wo-
man, until IL was recognized by afriend.
who took II out OF the surging mass OF
humanity.
As there were three or four times as
many people as there were lots, the re-
suit could be easily foretold. There are
from three 10 six claimants for great
many Of the good lots tonight. On
every hand can be heard curses aud
high worded discussion. IL viii take
considerable time 10 adjust the difficult
ties. An Indian killed a whitemaD over

wants Tbem to Hold Their wheat.

ST. PAUL, September 20.-Ignatius
Donnelly, Presinent of the Minnesota
Farmers Alliance, was in the city to-day.
He is still advising the farmers to hold
their grain, and has lately officially
issued another circular to the
effect. "They are not getting enough
for their grain at present." said PreSi-
dent Donnelly, land while l believe
that prices will ordinarily rise during
the next month. the holding back OF a
certain quantity of the crop of 1891 will
tend to greatly increase the present
price.
The circular is also calculated to
place myself in right position on the
question of holding wheat. l think /
have been misrepresented by the state
ment that l advised farmers to sell
their grain as soon as thrashed.

JOLIET, ILL.,, September 29.-The
Rock River conference of the Method
ist Episcopal Chnrch, comprising the
northern and southern portions OF Illi-
nois, including Chicago, adopted re-
port to-day on the public school ques-
ton, which contained the following ut
terances:
"Our public schools are the conservators
and the safe guard Of the Nation. No sys-
tenn of the parochial or church schools can
meet the demands of the general public
school instruction. The principles upon
which our public school system
rests are the outgrowth Of and in
harmony with the principles and progress
i've interests Of our government. The con-
slant attacks of the Roman Catholic hier-
archy upon our public school system ana
the persistence Of that great ecclesias-
ticism in demanding Of its adherents the
withdrawal Of their children from the
public schools and their undivided attend
ance upon the parochial schools, is slowly
but surely arraying an un-American antag-

that said religious instruction shall be
wholly under It's own control, has been
voiced in the Pope's encyclical. the
Councils and conventions at Balti-

Roman Catholic German Clerical conyen-

its purpose to secure home rule in all mat

or prince in our domestic affairs or the
furtherance of any foreign scheme for the
disintegration of our national unity OF

We know well what is demanded for

and we reply as follows:
"Resolred, first, That we declare emphati-
cally for American home rule in oil mat

of our public school system.
Third-That home rule in matters OF pub

PHILADELPHIA, PA. Jeptember %
John Applemsn, who lives at Buck

came here to-day and called at the q.
S. Mint for the purpose Of receiving
from the government 5000 for the gold
bricks that he purchased for $4,000
few days ago from a
stranges who visited HIS town. A
simple test by the Mint Assayer
revealed that Mr. Appleman's bricks
were brass, with no trace Of gold about
them save a thin wash on the surface.
After Mr.. Appleman had in measure
recovered from the shock OF the intelli-
gence that he had paid $500 for about
80 worth of brass, he told the following
story OF how he had been taken In:
Appleman said that q man giving his
name as Joseph Parker had appeared In
his village few days ago and soon
struck up an acquaintance with him.
Parker told him that he had a couple
Of gold bricks ne would like

clIned TO become a purchaser, but after
another man claiming 70 be an assayer
at the PhiladeIphia mint appeared up
on the scene and tested the bricks and
said that they were pure gold and worth
fully $1,000 Appleman consented 70
buy them and gave the swindlers 50, 500.

rERRIBLE SUFFERING
In Russia From Famine-GreatestD Distress
Known for Centuries.

Known for Centuries.
LONDON, September 29.-The dis
patch from st. Petersburg to the Tele-
graph describing the situation in Russia
arising from the failure Of the crops
and detailing narrowing incidents Of
the famine now prevailing, part OF
which has already been cabled to the
United States, says that never for GEN.
turies has such widespread distress been
recorded. 1t is nothing less than
national calamity. The Telegrdph's cor
respondent says that the trouble
is chiefly due to the govern
ment, which at the beginning OF
the year was well aware that famine
was imminent. The authorities de-
iayed taking any action to relieve the
distress until il was too late. What
benefit will be derived from the prohi-
bition of the expectation OF rye was null
lifted by the action Of the government
in extending the time for the decree to
go into effect. In addition to the scare
ity of food, which has caused untold
suffering, the distress has been intensl-
fed by the enormous number OF unusu-
ally disastrous fires that have occurred
throughout the famine stricken dis
tricts. In many OF the districts entire
villages have been destroyed.
What little food 1t is possible for the
peasants to obtain is Of the vilest de-
scription, but so sharp are the pangs OF
hunger that they gladly eat food that at
other times they would not touch. In
many cases their only food is the sweep
ing and refuse from the -four mills. In
Saratoff the land owners found this re-
fuse so injurious to their cattle that
they would not feed it to them. But,
though it was not fit for cattle, the land
owners made bread of 1t and sold 1t to
the peasants.

Railroad NIiners Meeting.

PIrTsBURG, September GA convention
of the railroad miners of this district is
now in session here with fifty-seven
delegates, representing seven-tenths Of the
mines and several thousand diggers. The
convention was called to consider the
advisability of demanding an ad-
vance In the price of mining
and to demand the weighing Of
coal before screening. Resolutions de-
manding 81 cents per bushel were present
ed but final action was postponed until To-
morrow, when the general officers will be
present.
If the resolution is adopted it will mean
an advance of one half cent per bushel.
The operators say they will resist any such
demands and that if it is made a lockout
will follow.
