INJUNCTION AGAINST TUNNEL WORK.

Andrew Onderdonk, the sub-contractor who
has the construction of the tunnel in Brook
lyn and has started work in Joralemon-st.. was
stopped yesterday from further work by an
injunction granted by Justice Maddox, in the
Supreme Court. Special Term Brooklyn.
The Injunction is a temporary one and was
asked for by counsel representing the New-York
Dock Company. on the ground that the opera
tions would seriously interfere with the con-
duct of the company's business. Affidavits Ere
sented to Justice Maddox from the directors or
the company alleged that the docks and ware
houses at Joraiemon and Furman-StS- would
be endangered If the contractor were permit
ted TO construct the tunnel under them, and
that il would mean the taking of private prop
erty for public use without due process of law
and without compensation.
Onderdonk is restrained by the injunction
from proceeding with the work of the tunnel
under the company-s buildings from entering
the private property OF the plaintiff. and from
obstructIng the access to the property and
buildings by means of excavations in Jorals-

A HUMAN FOREST.
How Indian Trfbesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.
. Q .

How Indian Tribesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.
Some of the Indian tribes over which
we rule give us great deal of trouble,
notably the Mahsuds. The Mahsuds,
however, are not by any means the
worst of the Indian robber tribes, the
unenviable distinction probably falling
to the Bhils, who are the cleverest
scoundrels in the world, both in their
methods of acquiring other peoples
property and in evading pursuit.
They are very proud of their skill in
pilfering and openly boast of it. One
of them once told q British officer that
he could steal the blanket from under
him and was promptly challenged to
show his ability. That night when the
officer was fast asleep the Bhil robber
cut hole in his tent, crept noiselessly
in and gently tickled the hands and
feet of the sleeping man. The officer
stirred uneasily and turned over. In
this way the Bhil was able to pull the
blanket out a little way. By repeating
his performance he finally succeeded
from under the sleeper.
When engaged in his nefarious little
games, the Bhil wears hardly any
clothing, and his 1.-THE body is rubbed
with oil to facilitate escape from any
would be captors. When hotly pursued
by the British troops, the robbers make
use of very clever device. They con-
ceal their scant clothing under their
small round shields and scatter them
about to resemble stones or powders;
then, picking up few twigs-if there
are any to be had-they assume all
sorts of grotesque attitudes, their al
most fleshless limbs silhouetted against
the dark night sky closely resembling
the charred limbs Of a tree. Absolute
~ motionless, they hold their positions
till the enemy has passed them.
In this way a British subaltern in
charge of a party sent to capture some
Bhils was considerably startled one
evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight of the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by a clump of
gnarled and bent tree trunks, tired and
hot from their hard exertions. The Of
ficer in charge took off his hat and
placed it on the end of a broken limb,
when instantly there was a wild scream
of laughter. and the tree trunks sud
denly came to life and vanished in the
darkness.-London Express.

C. L. Parish Died in New York.

G.. L. Parish, who formerly owned
and operated the Big Bar Bridge
property near this town, died on the
9Th instant at the home of his sister
in North Lawrence, New York, where
he had been visiting since last summer.
Mr.. Parish came to California in 1852,
and was prominently identified with
the early mining history of this and
Amador counties. He conducted the
bridge business for many years, but in
1874 he disposed of it and moved to
Oakland, where he has since resided.
Two children are left-Dr.. Harry L.
Parish, who practiced medicine in this
town about twelve years ago, but is
now resident of Calistoga, and Mrs.
Edmund A. Watkins of San Leandro.
The remains were inferred beside his
wife in Mountain View eemetery.-

HUMAN HEAD HUNTERS.
The Savages OF Polynesia still Ply
This Horrible Trade.

The savases Of Polynesia stin Ply
This Horrible Trade.
In the scarce known islands of the
Pacific sea New Guinea, Borneo,
Ceram, Gilolo and others too numer-
GUS to mention-man still exists in the
primeval state, and that most horrible
Of practices, head hunting, Is still in
dulged In In spite of all efforts of vari-
GUS governments and missions as well
as philanthropic societies who have
come in contact with the people.
Just as the scalp lock on the belt of
the young buck Indian was q token of
manhood, so the CORY head impaled on
tall pole over the hut Of the would be
young warrior, Papuan or Dayak. pro-
claims to all the prowess of the youth,
henceforth man and eligible for the
council and the wooing Of the maidens.
1t is immaterial how the trophy be OBJ
tained, whether by ambuscade or in
fair battle. Generally 1t is the former.
The candidate for martial honors sim
ply waits his chance by night in some
neighboring village as craftily and pa
tientiy as a leopard on the prowl, the
kris or poisoned arrow does the work
swiftly and silently, and the severed
head has ample time to cool before the
deed is discovered and calls for retri-
button.
Thus an incessant vendetta and car
mage go on, and only by living In in
accessible forests and strongly stock
AIDED places is 1t possible at all for
the tribes to save themselves from an
initiation. OF the vast island CONT
nent of New Guinea the western or
Dutch part Is the worst looked after,
and 1t often happens that numerous
raiding parties in their great war ca
noes come swooping down the coast
before the northwest monsoon and
carry death and desolation into the
comparatively quiet British portion
around the mighty Fly river, opposite
Torres strait. By the time the news
is carried to Thursday island and the
gunboat starts away In pursuit it is
generally too late, and the marauders
have vanished.
The writer was present once at the
capture OF a war party, and forty
eight heads were taken from the ca
noes. Hanging and deportation to pc
nal servitude seem to be but q slight
deterrent, for the terror recurs almost
as regularly as plague of locusts.
These Papuans are a hardy, warlike
people and expert bowmen, and they
rely on their skill with this potent
weapon solely, using their clubs for
the dispatch Of wounded foes.
The Dayaks Of Borneo and their
neighbors, on the other hand, are in
favor Of the "sumpitan' or blowpipe,
shooting little diminutive but very cum
ningly poisoned arrows. The "sumpi-
tan" has often a spear head attached
to the outer end, like a bayonet on a
musket. For close fighting they rely
on the dreaded 'parang," a heavy, hol-
low ground broadsword about two feet
long, with he handle often carved Of
ivory and ornamented with gold and
pearls, the wooden scabbard covered
with human skin and hair.
They count him poor warrior who
cannot sever head clean with one
blow delivered backhanded. Even in g.
mountainous part Of the Malay penin-
sula. north Of Malacca, In the Dind-
ings and Hegri Sembilan, there is to
this day remnant tribe Of head hunt
ers called the Sa-Ki.
