The Golden Eagles who went to
Eaglesmere on the recent excursion,
finding themselves unable to fly home
from the crags and peaks upon which
the sun looked down with considerable
warmth and brilliancy, were therefore
compelled to wait for the slow coaches
upon which they all took ride, and
which were not as swift in gliding
through the atmosphere as Golden
eagles prefer to glide.

William Miller, an aged and res
pected farmer OF Candy, Pa, recently
fell from the loft of his barn down to
the barn-hoor. He sustained very
serious and quite likely fatal injuries,
having broken a leg, crushed knee
and split open his nose and forehead.
Being over 81 years old his chances
for recovery are very poor, even if
he has sustained no internal injuries.

building. The regiment filled all tho
space on the Wall street side and ex-
tended around into Nassau and Broad
streets. The lines were quietly and
quickly but effectually formed and the
sub-treasury was, for the time being,
cut off from interference.
We have in Police Sergeant McGuire's
account and in Gen. Waterson's report
sufficient data from which to form
some idea of the scene. The sergeant
says: 81 don't think ten minutes had
passed when found the whole of the
broad steps leading up to the building
covered with soldiers, leaving only
space of ten feet in the center, and the
colonel and his staff followed by an
other hundred men were marching up
that alleyway into the building. One
of the patrolmen. who was as much
astonished as 1 was, asked me what the
regiment was going to do in the build
ing, and made some careless answer
There was a black crowd of people
down in Broad street looking on and
most of the office windows in the
neighbOrhOod were crowded with peo-
pie, but there was no excitement. The
men on the steps looked as if they
were drawn up for show, but calcu
lated that it would take the whole po-
lice force of the city to dislodge them.
The first thing that gave me a twinge
was that, after the troops went in,
none of the people who were doing
business inside came out, and the sol
diers wouldn't let anybody go up. In
spector Fairchild, who didn't like the
looks of things, turned his badge out,
took two men and insisted on going in
to see what was being done. We
waited over half an hour and they did
not come back, but the company of
troops that had gone in had come out,
fallen into line, and another hundred
men had been marched in. Word was
then sent to the central office. That
was about twelve o'clock. twas three
quarters of an hour before the super
intendent and another inspector ar
rived. They went at once into the
building. where they were placed UNI
der guard. We Were then ordered
back, outside of the lines, by one Of
the captains"

The elaborate provision for public
schools is striking characteristic of
state and territorial legislation in the
far west. North Dakota estimates the
ultimate amount of her school fund at
somewhere between o,0oO,0o0 and
$40. coo, 900. Oregon's school fund is
now s.. 500, 900 Idahos school lands
are worth nearly S7,0o0,0oo. Kansas
holds nearly $1,000, 900 in bonds for the
benefit of her public schools Nilsson
ri holds between 81, 100000 and 5,00o,.
600 for her schools. Oklahoma will
one day have large school fund, and
half dozen other western states and
territories have many millions invested
FOR the benefit of such funds.

was invisible. Each man had In his
possession a light uniform consisting Of
a blue flannel shirt. duck trousers and
belt, thin glazed hat, l1napsaclS and
Spencer rifle with twelve rounds OF
ball cartridges. This uniform could be
PIT on IL few moments.
At half-past five on the morning OF
the 18th the men thus equipped
came to Tompl1in's square from all
points of the city. The inhabitants in
the neighborhood looked on with the
lazy interest that a military parade
awakens in the metropolis, but no one
knew or cared to inquire whether the
regiment had arrived en- masse by an
early train or had come in the night
before.
The troops had to wait till nine
o'clock for the platoon of mounted
police that was to precede them. Gen.
Waterson, the colonel commanding,
communicated with the sergeant Of
the squad through his adiutant. They
had been invited, he said, to visit Wall
street and the sub-treasury. They
were then to march to Gen. Grants
tomb for battalion evolutions. :
1t does not appear that any suspi-
cions up to this time were awakened
in the police, who regarded the con-
spicuous cartridge belts of the men as
a piece of western military nonsense,
and it was not within their line of duty
to question the visit of the officers to
the sub-treasury. If the sub-treasury
did not want their western visitors
they would shut the doors in their
faces.
It was twenty minutes past nine
when the regiment, preceded by the
police, and with the colonel and his
staff, dismounted, left the park and it
was ten o'clock when it wheeled into
Broadway at Eighth street, making a
solid and formidable appearance in it's
homely uniforms and soldierly bear-
ing.
Nothing occurred along the route of
consequence to interfere with its prog
ress. The inhabitants looked upon it
as part of the constantly recurring
show of that highway; careless re-
marks were here and there made about
the cheap get-up, but the crowds eyed
it carelessly and went on their way.
It was just fifteen minutes of eleven
| by the Trinity clock when the armed
force turned into Wall street and five
minutes later it had come to
q halt in front of the sub-treasury

Hendricks smiled. 'sHou arc too old
and experienced an officer" he said
ito be foolhardy, and the lives of these
men you have brought here are in your
hands. / have expressed desire to
avoid bloodshcd."
SHERIFF, arrest this r.,an," cried the
general. He defies law, and we are
under cover of the guns of the state
troops"
Hendricks took step toward them.
Zone moment" he said, before you
attempt to arrest me. You and your
men are covered by four hundred re-
peating rifles. One move on your part
to arrest me and your force will be an
initiated. l mention this in the in
terest of humanity. If you decline to
treat me with the courtesy due to a
brave enemy, you had better retire. I
will give you two minutes to rejoin
your men,"
The impulsive general wheeled his
horse, galloped into the center of the
lawn and called, in a loud voice, as he
drew his sword:
capt. Hawkins, mass your men.
Bring up the reserves. Prepare to
storm the house."
Hendricks leaned against one of the
pillars of the balcony.
You see," said the sheriff, "resist-
ance is useless. 1t would be better to
surrender at once, as I propose to take
you now," and he made motion to
draw his pistol.
Before he could get it fairly into his
hand, there was a sharp crack of a
rife at short range and he half raised
himself in the stirrups and fell heavily
backward upon the horses launches,
the pistol falling upon the ground.
Hendricks stepped down and picked it
up as the horse reared and backed
away-and at that moment crack of
firearms was heard and he went quick
ly back into the house and shut the
door.
AS soon as he got to an opening in
the barricaded window, he saw the
general wildly galloping up and down,
f1ourishing his sword and calling upon
his men to fall in. But many of them
were past falling in. Their bodies
were conspicuous by their uniforms,
lying where they had fallen in the
grass and the rest were budding con-
fusedly, running unfortunately into
the trees at the foot of the slope under
| a murderous fire from all parts of the
house.

He could see when the general turned
his head that stream of blood was
running down his face from a cut in
the temple and had dyed his white
whiskers.
Wounded as he was, the old general
succeeded after awhile in withdrawing
his men across the road to the opposite
ACTIVITY, where under the shelter of
some rocks, he reformed them and tried
to encourage them. His condition was
distressing one. He had lost. out of
hundred and forty-four men, at least
fifty. He could not even bring them
all off and consequently did not know
if they were killed or wounded. The
sheriff was dead. He had no hospital
stores or stretchers. for it would have
required more than the ordinary mill
tary PRESENCE to have calculated upon
such a reception as this. However, he
did the best he could, and the first act
was to dispatch couriers to the nearest
telegraph station to summon assist
ance and notify the governor, he Civ
ing up his own horse to one of the
messengers.
What was his surprise about noon to
receive a communication from the
house. A man dressed like an ordinary
workman was brought into his little
camp by a picket and delivered the
following note with military salute:
ITO the Commanding Of1cer:
"SIR: You can safely remove your dead and
wounded If you are In need of bandages,
surgical assistance or medical stores, and will
send for them, they will be supplied until you
receive help from the state. Respectfully,
OFFICER COMMANDING OPPOSING FORCES"
The audacious GOODNESS of this pro-
ceeding aroused the old general to al
eruptive state of indignation. He tore
the message to pieces and ordered the
arrest of the messenger. Half an hour
later another arrived.
Il am ordered he said, ''to say to
you that if you do not release the mes

take him.

escape shoot him.
