Lieut.. Z. W. CASEY Killed.

Lieut. Edward w. Casey, ODD Inf, was shot
through the head and instantly killed Jan. Z
near White Clay Creek about Is miles from
Pine Ridge Agency. The Indians held grand
ghost dance and beef killing. While they were
thus employed Casey and his men appeared
near them on the outskirts and were met by
two Indians who professed friendship One
was the Brule who afterwards killed the officer.
The Lieutenant offered his hand and said he
wanted to talk with the chiefs, and, if agree
able, would take them to Gen. Brooke for a
peace conference One buck rode OH TO the
camp Of the hCstiles, and, finding Red Cloud
holding council, told him Of the request. Red
Cloud at once sent his sOn-in-law Pete Rich
ards, TO tell Casey Of his danger.
Richards delivered the message, but Casey
insisted ON taking a look at the camp, which
he would nave done but for the earnest remOn-
STRANGE Of Richards. At last he turned and
rode away, and as he did 60 the young Brule
raised his gun and shot the officer in the hack
Of the head, the ball ranging down and out at
the shoulders. be was killed instantly and
fell from his horse. An old Indian rushed MP
AZ this moment, and, while reJuking the muir
derer took Caseys reviewers and turned them
over TO the Cheyenne scout.
When the news reached Gen. Brooke he
ordered party Of scouts 10 get the body, which
was found without mutilation, probably owing
to the protection Of the old Indian, but tho
ctoLhlhR had been stripped on. Inc body was
shipped 20 Oclrich's and from there to his
home. His death has cast q shadow Of gloom
over this camp.

brother of Gen. Thomas L. Casey, Chief Engi-
neer U. s. Army.

spected. While in the field his service had been
brilliant and as "A commander of scouts in
several Indian wars he was dist nguished for
gallant conduct. He was recommended for
several breyets, especially for charging through
Lame Deer's camp with Gen. Miles's command
in 1877. Since his arrival on the scene of the
present Indian trouble he had been very ener-
getic aud had procured valuable and reliable
information Of the movements Of the hostiles
He was assassinated by an Indian whom he be-
heYed incapable of treachery

Controversy Over the Employ
ment Of Plate-PrinterS.
Version Of The General Master Workman
Of the Knights Of Labor.
Statements Credited to Secretary Foster
Pronounced alSe-Agreement 10 Re-
store Discharged Men.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

PHILADELPHIA, July General Master
Workman Powderly of the Knights of
Labor tonight made public lengthy state
ment regarding the controversy over the
employment of plate-printers. He begins
with the assertion that the statements cred
tied to Secretary Foster "are entirely and
unqualiiedly false" The Secretary has
stated that the matter was not the subject
Of discussion at Mansfield between Senator
Sherman, Major Mckinley and himself
Powdery asserts that the matter was dis
cussed at Mansfield, and settlement ad-
vised, and POwderly says he holds the proofs
over MeKinley's signature. On June Both
Secretary Foster concluded an agreement
with Messrs. Devlin and Cavanaugh to re-
store the discharged men, and even went so
far as to write a letter TO one of them in
dorsing the agreement. That letter Pow
derly says he holds. According to Devlin'S
memoranda the terms were: THAT the seven
men dropped from the rolls in the plate
printing department shall be restored to
their former places Or to places of equal i'm
portance and pay and shall be treated with
the same fairness and consideration as the
sistantS in the bureau; that four of them
shall be re- pred within ten days and the
balance w shin two weeks from date"
Just az the Knights were congratulating
themselves upon a ha py termination of
the trouble a committee of plate-pr!nters
was called in by Meredith. card which
preceded them said: "a delegation from
the GOmpers Federation of Labor desires
TO be heard before an agreement is arrived
at with the Knights of Labor" "These
men," says P0wderly. had been drilled
by Meredith as to their speech and conduct
while deliberating with the Secretary; but
Meredith forgot to tell them the name of
the organization they were supposed to
represent and they gave the name of an
association that does not exist. After a
short interview with this committee the
Secretary turned to Devlin and said: If
there is 10 be fight with this
organization or yours, l don't know, bat |
had better fight yours Devlin retorted
that the knights could do some fighting
attention to the fact that he had concluded
an agreement, but Foster said he would
have TO send for GHmpers before he could
arrive at further understanding of the
case"
Powderly says in conclusion: "The ad-
vlserS of Foster have influenced him to so
act rs to give the controversy such a color
ing as TO create the impression that it is a
struggle between labor organizations. Such
Is not the case. Foster has the undoubted
right to consult with GOmpers if he pleases,
but .he fact still remains that none of the
men involved belong to any organization but

afternoon. The case had been on hearing

attorney, was just closing his argument

justice be done though tile heavens fall"
This was too much for her half a dozen lady

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.
Philadelphia'S EX-City Treasurer Sentenced
10 Prison for Fifteen Years.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-EX-City Treas
urer John Bardsley was sentenced this
morning by Judge Wilson 20 fifteen years
solitary confinement in the Eastern Peni-
tentiary and to pay fine equaling the sum
to which he pleaded guilty.
The fact that Bardsley was to be sem
fenced to-day was not generally known,
and there were not more than fifty people
in the courtroom. District Attorney Gra-
ham spoke briefly. In the course of his re-
marks lie denied Bardsley's contention,
made in his statement to the Court one
week ago, that the ex-Treasurer has not
mlsappropriated a dollar. and showed that
by Bardsley's own statement he must have
at least appropriated S220,O00. as that
amount Is required to be made good by his
sureties. Although not able as yet to
specifically state where the money had gone
to, Graham said Bardsley's emteZZlement
would amount 10 between 100000 and
$4,000.
Alexander, counsel for Bardsley, reviewed
the statements made by his client AMI ap-
pealed tc the Court for mercy, Oh the ground
OF Bardsiey's plea of guilty and his past
services to the city. Alexander said Bards-
ley did not get one dollar of the money put
into the Keystone Bank, and within six
months 1t would be shown who did. Alex
ander Yehemently declared that his client
h'u hu5 olOlCi bH6 ublIt1i. uub lldt HC
only pleaded guilty to the statutory otfenses
OF loaning, speculating with and receiving
interest on public funds. Never with his
consent, said Alexander should Bardsley
appear before the Investigating Committee
of Councils to testify, but if at any time the
District Attorney desired any information
or assistance his client was willing to Aid
him. While his counsel had been speaking
Bardsley sat with bowed head, nervousiy
tracing Imaginary lines with the back Of q
pen upon the table before him. With the
exception of his brOther-in-law not one hun
dred of the friends that Bard sey had one
year ago were pres mt when he arose to re-
ceive the sentence OF the court.
Judge Wilson's severe words cause
Bardsley most palpable distress. AS the
Judge said lie could hnd no pallation Tor
Bardsley's malfeaSance. and that his offense
was mere open to cenSuIe from his abuse of
his official position. the prisoner almost
collapsed and seemed a50at to sink to the
floor from his chair. Nevertheless, before
Judge Wilson had concluded and ordered
him tn arise and receive sentence, Bardsley
had completely reg iined his composure, and
received the words that sent him to prison
for fifteen years with the utter absence of
any emotion.
The amount of fine will not be deter-
mined until after the examination of the
accounts is finished. Bardsiey will proba-
bly, be taken TO the Penitentiary to- morrow.
Judge Wilson was seen after passing
sentence on Bardsley relative to the amOent
of fine. He said il would be about S237, $50.
