The police work in squads of three
and four, and are splendidly mounted
They are armed with Winchester car
bines, Enfield revolvers and sabers and
are drilled as infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery. 1t is a curious misnomer 10
call them police as they are really
soldiers Of the first class, and each
trooper at a moments notice could
take his place in either an infantry, ar
tillery or cavalry regiment and be per-
fectly at home.
They are accustomed to deal with
rough characters and cheerfully go in
to a fight with the biggest kind of
odds against them. They are a terror
| to the Indians and settlers along the
border, many of whom do big SNUG
Cling business all the year round.
The kind of fighting stuff they are
made of was shown back in 1885, when
a big band of Blackfeet Indians left
the states and dashed across the
border on a horse stealing and muir
dering trip There were 500 in the
band, but twenty of the mounted po-
police who ran across them did not
hesitate to invade the camp and declare
that they were going to arrest the trad
ers and drive all the others back across
the border again. The Indians started
to show fight and at the same instant
the police began to shoot and in less
than three minutes their lightning
work with the guns made the reign Of
peace absolute. The leaders were sent
to jail and that same day the others
were started on the homeward journey.
Their uniform is snowy, consisting
OF scarlet tunics, with yellow stripe,
top boots and a hemlet In winter,
however, this gorgeousness is covered
with great fur coats and capes, fur
caps and moccasins. They ride the
small chunky native horse and there
are few instances on record where
either man or beast has succumbed to
the terrible cold or constant exposure.

that they'd taken her in and found
work for her somewhere
It was on bitter day in the winter
of 1876-77 that Mrs. Osborne, hurrying
to her home through a by-street on
the West side, saw two girls budding
in the aspect of the women, something
in the expression of their tear-worn
eyes as they looked out upon the driv4
ing rain, stopped her on her way, and
she turned back and spoke to them.
Their story was soon told.
eve are two sisters. Our home is in
Winston, Connecticut. Our people are
poor. There was not enough food 70
feed us all, and so we came to New
York to look for work, and didn't find
it. We are penniless and homeless and
are starving"
Within an hour the two women were
housed in Mrs. Osborne's home. With
in a week they had by her aid found
employment And out of her chance
meeting of these two women arose the
thought that there we're other sisters
in this city who might be in need as
desperate; that here was the possiBil-
ity of a work which might be carried
to an endless good 81 will make this
work the object of my life" she said,
and never for a single instance in 20
years has she weakened in her purpose.

SETTLED BY COMPROMISE
PATRICK GILLIGAN GETS JUDO.
MENT OF s12,sOo.
Suit Was Brought For $50, Ooo-Jury
Discharged For the Term-other
Cases Postponed Till September.

The case of Patrick Gilligan VS.. the
Union Pacific did not go to the jury for
settlement, but was settled by COM
promise. The plaintiff gets the sum
of s12,S00 for the loss of his legs in the
accident on Nov 4 last. AS stated in
yesterdays report, the case was post
poned pending a long consultation OF
the attorneys. The consultation re-
suited in the attorneys agreeing on the
above sum, together with some trans
portation privileges, as the sum to be
given to Mr.. Gilligan. The terms were
ratified by Mr.. Gilligan and by the
main officials of the railroad, and the
jury yesterday morning, under instruc-
tons from the court rendered the YER
dict agreed upon. The suit was for $780,
900, and involved questions which would
probably have carried it to the supreme
court of the United States if it had not
been COMPROMISED.
The attorneys in the case were Ma
ginnis & Halverson, assisted by Joseph
Whitaker for the plaintiff, while LIE
Grand Young and \. w. Agee repre-
scented the railroad
The two other damage cases expect
ed to be brought UP at this term have
been postponed till September.

port of George J. Kelly, receiver %. the

mand. There was no Paris market on ac-
count of the holiday and the weather in
Germany and France was reported as
fine. With the decline there was some
buying against puts and covering by
shorts. who caused a temporary reaction
in September TO 1874, but the influence of
the heavy Baltic receipts and the absence
of news of a decided bulllsh character
soon impaired heavinesS to the market

Liquidation did not at any time become
heavy but buying was limited and con-
lined almost entirely to small Scalpers.
There were claims OF too much ram in the
spring wheat territory, but in the main
crop conditions were reported favorable.
Trading late in the session was without
feature, being confined almost entirely to
scalpers. September kept close to 1875
and was bringing that price al the close.

trail and Pennsylvania companies.
The most effective factor was the
favorable crop report published on
Monday, and which, supplemented by
good accounts of weather and other
accounts in the west, by a heavy move
ment of grain on the railroads and by
other indications that railroad traffic
and earnings will be we'll maintained,
had created a bullish feeling on the
granger and southwestern stocks. The
subsistence of reports of anticipated
labor disturbances also had an infiu-
ence, though on Thursday Brooklyn
Rapid Transit declined or renewed ru-
mors of troubles of that character. A
slight effect was also produced on
prices by the news that one of the
largest of American life insurance cor
porations had decided TO dispose of its
holdings of stocks, presumably TO COM
ply with the German law and pave the
way for a readmission to that country.
1t was, however, soon appreciated that
the action in question was to be distrib-
uted over a series of years and could
have no immediate serious effect on the
market.

ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Customary Effect of Midsummer
Dizziness In Restricting Market


New York, July 14.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: A
moderate volume of transactions, at
tended by a certain degree of strength
in quotations, were the leading features
of the speculative situation during the
present week. What is termed mid
summer dizziness has its customary
effect in restricting the market, and
the comparative firmness of call loans
tended to check both manipulation on
any large scale or the growth of public
interest. While American stocks have
been a feature in London, the unsettled
speculative position there, due to the
troubles in South Africa and the adj
vance of interest rates, has not been
without a certain effect on financial
sentiment here. The remarkable fall in
the price of British consols, which on
Tuesday sold at 1861, a drop of SIS
points from the highest quotation of
the year. could not fail to attract no.
tice, though IL seemed due to local
causes and failed to exercise a posi-
lively disturbing effect on general
speculation.
London, however, sold our securities
to a certain extent. partly for the rea-
son detailed above and partly because

weeks rumors of fresh Vanderbilt
deals to materialize, and of the denial
that there was anything more than
