 Five-Formerly Married a White

Troops Ordered from Fort Keogh fin
 Expectation of Trouble i.
 MILES CrrY, Mont, Dec. S.-Orders were received from headquarters in St. Paul for troops at Fort Keogh to go to the Cheyenne agency, as the Indians are dancing in vio- lation of the orders of the agency and have notified the agent that they intend to make an attack. Since the order of the general office allowing those settlers who claimed prior rights within the reservation to make final proofs thereon trouble has been feared and the Indians have made threats.
 Sheriff Jones and 0. H. Thompson re- turned from the agency last night with one of two Indians arrested for killing cat tle The other one managed to escape. Considerable difficulty was experienced in making the arrest, as the Indians put every obstacle possible in their way. Con- siderable alarm is felt in that section. Danger is feared from rowing Indians bent on plunder and money, rather than con- eertsd action.

BOARD OF sELEoTmEN.

The Deadlock over Appointments
 Still Continues-A Preliminary Cau-
 GUS Barren Of OfResults-RoutineB Bus-
 1ness Transacted.
 Contrary to general expectations the board of selectmen at the meeting last evening did not finish making their ap- pointments. Prior to the regular meeting private caucus was held, but nothing was accomplished.
 The deadlock is in consequence of the
 firm opposition made by Selectman Good
 rich to J. J. Kennedy, clerk at the aims
 house. An unsuccessful effort was made
 at the caucus to have Selectman Goodrich
 withdraw his opposition. The re-appoint-
 ment of Clerk Kennedy, Roadmaster Corri- gan, Roadmaster Lawler, Janitor Bohan and others still hang fire.
 The board appointed Enos F. Kim berly town weigher, and James H. Brad ley, George W. Curran, James J. Coogan and Charles P. Blakeslee town constables. Requests were received from Superin- tendent Henry w. Sanford asking that his salary be increased from $1 BOO to $1 ,500 per annum, and also from J. J. Coogan, assistant superintendent of tue almshouse, and his wife, asking that their salary be increased from $1 125 to $1,2OO. The requests were tabled for one month. Town Agent Garrity called the attention of tLe board to the condition of Townsend
 and Woodward avenues, and the board
 voted to inspect these thoroughfares in a body tomorrow.
 NImPORTANT CONVENTION. St. Paups Chapter, Daughters of the King.
 Preparations are being made by the St. Paul's chapter, Daughters of the King, for
 the national convention of the order to be
 held in this city sometime in February.
 There are 100 chapters of this organization
 in the United States, of which Connecticut
 has sixteen, being the banner state. Nearly every state and territory in the Union con- tains one or more chapters.
 Labor Commissioner Hotchkiss, who
 has been ill, threatened with pneumonia, is convalescent.
 Miss Mary Howe, the well-known so-
 prano singer of Brattleboro, Vt., who sang here recently, was married at Cleveland, O., November 29, to William J. Lavin, the tenor, of Detroit, Mich.
 Major B. F. Blakeslee, special agent at
 the Stamped Envelop works in this city, an old soldier and hero of the Sixteenth
 regiment, is breaking down physically and
 mentally, and it became necessary yester- day for his friends to take charge of him. He will probably be taken to the retreat to-day. Major Blakeslee served with dis tinction in the war and as & sufferer in rebel prisons underwent 8 strain from which no one could expect to recove, fully. He had slight paralytic shock 6 month or two ago and since then has
 been gradually going to pieces. Sight and memory failed him and in the past few days his talk has been visionary. 1 ford Courant.

CHANGES IN THE SUN.

Periods at Which Its BrilIiancy In
ereases.
We cannot rest with the assumption
that, since the sun is evidently no Mira
and no Sirius, therefore it is practically
an unchanging radiator which for an
indefinite period will continue to cause
the earth to bloom in the beneficent
effulgence Of its life-inspiring rays. A
sun may affect the welfare of it's plan
cts either through the gradual muta-
tions which it undergoes in the course
of its evolution. or through the more
rapid and violent changes that charac-
terize the stars that are ranked as yari-
able. We have seen that most of these
latter belong to the third and fourth
classes, but there is reason to suspect
that the majority of all the stars are
variable to slight degree, and evil
dence of variability in the case of the
sun is furnished by the phenomena of
sun-spots. A spectator, viewing the
sun from a distant point in space, would
perceive that its brilliancy was slightly
increased once in about every eleven
years. These accessions of light should
correspond, not with the periods Of few
est spots, but with those of most spots,
because the energy of the SUMS radia-
ton is greatest during the spot maxima.
At present a sun-spot maximum is APP
