Hostile Indians.

Sheridan, Wy. Oct. 81 Fighting be-
tween the renegade Ules and the cavalry
forces now in pursuit of them is expect
ed at almost suy hour. The troops have
about succeeded in rounding up the Utes
aud as the latter declare they will fight
rather than return to their reservation,
where they claim they cannot get enough
to ea;, bloodshed seems unavoidable.
To make the situation worse, 800
Cheyenne braves, equipped with modern
rifles aud well supplied with ammunition
are ready to join the Utes if they have
not already done So Settlers living in
the region through which the Indians,
are moving, are panic stricken. Women
and children are being hurried to points
of safety, and there 10 not ranch in tho
County side That Is uOt fortified. That
there is reason for the apprehension OF
the settlers is shown by the murder yes

of cavalry are moving toward the Ute
Indians on Powder river near the

Aseertaining Cause of Accident.

Atlantic City, n. J Oct. 9l.-A SEN
sation is expected when the coroner's
verdict is returned and the responsibility
fixed for the wreck of the electric train
which plunged into the tidewater stream,
the ThorOughiare, Sunday afternoon.
An examination of the running gear o.:
the cars has shown that there was no
fault here, and there is the best of rea-
sons for believing that the company will
be held responsible for the disaster snd
that faulty bridge will be proven the
cause.
One car still remains in the water and
the divers are working today in an efort
to raise it. 1t is expected that once
this is accomplished and a thorough
search of the bottom of the stream is
possible, other bodies now weighted
down by pieces of wreckage, will be
found.
1t seems today though the total list
of dead will be within one or two figures
of sixty.

Against Allowing Pastors Discount.

Alleging that they make no profit and must
frequently lose on sales to ministers dress
makers and theatrical people, who squeeze"
them for 10 per cent. discounts, the Norfolk
retail merchants are today trying 10 combine
among Themselves TO stop this practice and
put ministers on equal footing with all other
buyers.
The merchants say the discount to preachers
is for their influence in sending them Gus
toners.
Rev. Geo. w. Wray. Methodist, SAYS any
discussion Of this is an insult to the ministry.
R-v. DR.. w. G. Starr says he knows OF no
reason for discounts to preachers, except
that it is matter of civil righteousness. "
Rev. George McFadden says he sees no
reason that preachers should not accept dis
count if they are expected to give anything

FIFTY. SEVEN Grand Trunk conductors
on the Montreal, Portland, Toronto and
Ohicago divisions have been dismissed
Tor accepting tips from passengers, par
ticularly commercial travellers, instead
of tickets. The management had for
some time suspected leskages, and the
fact that one conductor is worth 500,
600 and another has six grocery stores
increased the suspicion. Now the ques-
ton is whether the fellows who take the
dismissed conductors places wont initiate
their predecessors and attempt to get
rich quickly, as they did.

Unsafe BRIDGES.

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette.
The awful recital in your paper yes
terday ought to bring to your attention a
similar bridge just below Alexandria
built nearly fifteen years ago, in only a
temporary manner and long since past
its usefulness 1t seems to US that it is
your duty as guardian of the welfare OF
those around you to call attention to the
character OF this bridge over which hun
dreds of people are carried every day. II
will be too late when a similar accident
to that recorded in yesterdays paper has
happened, and it is peculiarly the prov
ince of a newspaper to call attention TO
such death,traps and to do so repeatedly
until the danger is removed. The writer
does not pretend to know anything about
bridges, but he does know that any
bridge without side rails high enough
and strong enough to prevent car from
leaving the bridge in case of an accident
is unsafe; and that the failure of those to
whom the people have right to look to
for protection to see that as nearly as
possible every measure is taken to insure
at least ordinary safety, comes very close
to being criminal neglect.
Jamestown" is fast approaching with
its myriads of invited guests. Will we not
be lacking in our dutyas hosts, and in
that hospitality which is the proud boast
of every soul that calls Virginia its home
if we allow these, our invited guests, to
come here and risk their lives in crossing
this bridget Is there not a possibility
of our proving ourselves their murderers!
