Indian Trouble Feared.


The Kootenai Indians are becom-
ing great nuisances and a source of
great annoyance the settlers in the
valley. The latest trouble is from
those across the line. There is
about 80 bucks over there. They
last appeared upon the scene arm
ed and ugly and threatened to go
go on the war path if the dredging
outfit attempted to proceed with
their work. The letter from David
Mclaughlin, who lives near the
scene of trouble, explains the stu
alton. Settlers on this side of the
line also complain a great deal
about the thieving Indians. 1t is
a frequent occurrence to have
houses broken open and pillfered
Stock has been killed without num-
Der. The fact is these Indians have
no business in a white mans land,
and Major Roman can not move
them out of the country too soon.
The following is the letter refer
red to:
BOUNDARY LINE, Oct. TO- Ed
itor HERALD. Affairs with the
Indians at the International Boun-
Diary Line have come to a crisis, as
all who were acquainted with mat
tiers here had anticipated sooner or
later.
The Indians some weeks ago ord
cred the Supt. of the dredging
works on the banks of the Kootenai
river to cease all work or the Indi-
ans would at once rise. Their
cause for complaint was the pass
ing of the dykers through an Indi-
an garden. Capt. Fitzstubbs, Of
Nelson, b. c., was called upon as
arbitrator and settled the matter
by paying the injured party $3.50.
AS the dredgers were shortly to
pass through other Indian gardens,
the Indian agent, Mr.. Norberry,
came from the agency at Fort Steele
with a view to settling the disputes,
assessing the damage likely to be
done to the gardens. He with Nc
Laughlin as Interpreter, called a
meeting of the owners of the gardens,
the chief being among the number.
The chief arose and said he would
make no settlement, and that the
work was at once to cease, as Vow
ell, the Indian superintendent had
told them to live on and cultivate
the gardens in dispute. Mr.. Vow
ell is expected here shortly from
Victoria. The appearance Of the
Indians is decidedly hostile. Mr..
Norbury used his best endeavors
to pacify and influence them, but
to no purpose, as their minds were
thoroughly made up to act as they
did, before he came here.
Yours truly, d. MCLAUGHLIN.

''It is doubtful if anything more wonder
full or interesting has ever been witnessed
on the stage in Charleston than the expert

house by Prof. Carpenter. 1t is not neces-
sary to attempt a description of these expert
ments; in fact, no description would convey
an idea of their novelty. You can't de-
scribe how a man who has had his hand
hypnotized deliberately sticks pin into it
till the blood flows, without showing the
slightest sign Of pain. You must see it
done; and even then you find yourself
doubling the evidences OF your eyes. Prof.
Carpenter, too, has the faculty of making
his experiments pleasant and entertaining
10 his audience, without making them disa-
greeable to his subjects. He invites sub
jects from the audience, and treats them
considerably. Altogether it is a wonderful
entertainment, instructive and interesting,

IT'S TROUBLES OVER NOW.
THE CENTRAL TO BE EREoRGANIzED
WITHIN TEN DAYS.

Receiver Conner Hos Perfected the
Plan and VIII Make It Known TO
the Public as Soon as the Directors
Act-It Is a Very Favorable One
and he Has No Doubt of Its Accept.
snce = The Mutual Life Insurance
Compsny's Loan Taken Up.
Receiver II. n. Conner OF the Central
railroad arrived from New York yesterday
morning. Mr.. Conner has been in the
metropolis for the past week engaged in
arranging the details Of the plan Of reor-
ganizations of the Central railroad with the
reorganization committee.
Mr.. Conner said the plan of reorganization
is now complete, and will be given to the
public in a week or ten days.
It was intended to make the plan public
earlier, but the holidays intervened and de-
layed some OF the financial arrangements
in New York. The plan will be presented
to the Central railroad directors for their
approval at the meeting in January, which
will be held in Savannah.
After having been approved by the di-
rectors, of which there Ia not the
least doubt, Mr. Conner said, the plan
will be made public. This will be done
simultaneously both In New York and
Savannah.
There is now not the least doubt OF the
success Of the plan" said Mr.. Conner. 1.-THE
money necessary to carry it out has been
secured. The s70O, 600 loan of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company has been taken
up by the Mercantile Trust Company of
New York. Guarantee bonds to the
amount of S15, 600, 600 will be issued to take
up the tripartite bonds and floating debt of
the Central. New securities will be offered
for the balance OF the securities and stock
outstanding. Cash will be paid those who do
not care to accept the new securities
A place OF deposit and for the exchange
OF securities will be established in Savannah
and also in New York. Everything has
been taken care Of in a manner perfectly
fair and just, and the present market value
Of the various Central securities will be
greatly advanced when the plan is made
known"
The financial hackers OF the reorganiza-
tion plan, as named by Mr.. Conner, are the
Equitable Life Insurance Company, the
Mercantile Trust Company, Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., Hollins & Co., Morse s. Bro. of New
York, E. w. Clark & Co. Of Philadelphia,
Wilson, Colston 81 Co. of Baltimore, and
the Hanover National Bank of New York.
With such backing as this the success Of
the plan appears absolutely certain. Mr..
Conner was questioned as to the valuation
placed upon Central railroad stock and de-
bentures in the reorganization plan, but
declined to disclose any Of the details what
ever.

From the Net0 York sun.
ELMRIA, Dec. 13.-James Clareback,
about 45 years Of age. was yesterday en-
gagged at Herrington's Corners, ten miles
from this city, in resurrecting the remains
OF Mrs. M. c. Harrington in order to bury
them in another place. The body has been
under ground for thirty-fve years, and In
digging for it Clareback struck a great deal
Of water He reached the remnants of the
outer box surrounding the coffin, and when
he pulled them OUT OF the way he was
greatly astonished to see what appeared to
be Mrs. Herrington's body, apparently uu-
disturbed and 80 lifelike as to convey to his
mind the belief that living, breathing
woman was before him.
"I tell you l was scared" said Ciarebaok
to-day "and nearly fell over in faint in
the grave. When / made an explanation,
however, / discovered that it was not the

then raised the coffln and opened IL. With
the exception Of the head, it contained only
few crumbling bones The head, however.
was perfectly preserved. The bones were
covered with flesh which had petrifisd, the
whole being as hard as q stone, while the
hair had grown TO an unusual length, and
was very abundant"

just how to account for this no one knows,
but. in lieu Of any better explanation, that
made by the grave digger is accepted. It is
TO the effect shat the water flowing through
the grave must have raised the body so that
il was pressed against the coffin lid, and the
action of the gases arising from the body
in conjunction with the nature Of the wood,
forced the picture TO appear as it did on the
outer side of the coffin lid.
Mr.. Clarebaok will open a number OF
other graves in the same vicinity before

Two Men shot by a Colored Hx.De-
tective of Sunday Law Fame.
Robert Williams and William Morel were
badly shot in a row In Psnnycake lane
about O'Clock yesterday morning by w lille
Stevens All the parties are colored.
Stevens will be remembered as the city's
witness in several cases of Sunday liquor
selling, when he figured as an assistant to
Policeman Bossell. The latter brought two
pistols, knife and razor to the police
barracks last night, which he said
had been turned over TO him by
Stevens, who had taken them from the
parties with whom he had the difficulty.
No details of the affair could be obtained
from the officer on duty at the police bar
racks last night. Williams was shot through
the abdomen and will probably die. Dr.
Davis was called to attend him at his home
last night and dressed his wound, but could
not find the ball.
The account given by Williams of the
affair is that Stevens was in crowd drunk
and quarrelinR. He shot down a
man by the name of Morel, when
somebody exclaimed: "There stands
Morel's friend, shoot him, too,"
pointing at Williams. Stevens promptly
fired as requested, shooting Williams.
Stevens walked away from the place and
was not arrested by the police. He was
efterward arrested on a warrant sworn out
before a magistrate and gave bond. 1he
