dren to Shift for Thcmiolvcu. About 7 o'clock last evening Otto Blonz Bat in the front room of hie apartments, on the socond floor of the tonoment 17 Delmonico place, caring for his little infant, which lay asleep in its cradle His wife, takiifS the older of their two children with her, went out to visit a neighboring family. On her return about half an hour later the infant waa still aslecD in its cradle, but Blonz was not there. Mrs. Blonz called him, but received no answer.

Then, going into the bedroom, sho was horrifiod to find Blonz hanging by a cord about a foot from tho floor, the cord having been fastened to tho outsido knob of tho door and passed into the bedroom over tho transom. Mrs. Blonz'a screams brought to the place Special Officer Smith, who at once cut down the body, and, as it was still warm, uo timo was lost in summoning modical aid. Beforo it arrived, however, lifo was extiuct. Deceased was about 30 years old, a consumptive, aud had frequently threatened to make away with himself.

FOUND HIS BODY Beside the Railroad Track Woodkaven. at Struck bj Que Bapid Transit Train and Itilioaded by Anether on Now Year's Bight A Dark Crossing; Undetected by a Flagman. Shortly after 7 o'clock this morning a passenger standing at the depot of tbo Long Island railroad at Woodliaveu saw what appeared to be a bundle of clothing lying beside tho track on tho rapid transit switch. The attention of an employe of tho company being called to it he Btartcd to pick it up and was horrifiod at finding the manglod remains of a man in the clothing. Ho was cut into pieces and every bone soemod broken.

His legs fell out of tho troitRers and his head clung to tho shoulders by a Bhred of flesh. The clothing ou the body showed the man to have been in good oiroumstances. Other passengers arriving at tho depot identified the body sb that of Charles Tomes, of Grafton avenue, Woodhaven. Ho was a Oermau and 45 years of age. He was much rospoctod in the community and held a responsible position in tho Lalance Grosjean factory.

Last evening ho went out to Morris Park to pay his compliments to his brother in law. Ho took the 0 o'clock rapid transit train baok to Woodhaven and got off there, the conductor of the train Bays. He was obliged to orois a number of tracks, where no flagman at all is employed, to reaoh the avenuo loading to his home. It is a dark and dangerous locality, how mneh so is indicated by tho fact that such a dreadful accident could go undiscovered for eleven hours. Mr.

Tomes must havo been struck by an inooming rapid transit train and thrown upon another track to be mutilated by later trains. The deceased's brother was at the depot at 10 o'clook waitmg for him to return from Morris Park, and concluded, as he did not appear, that ho had mado up his mind to spend the night at his brother in law's hoitBe. Tho accident may rosnlt in having the crossing protected. Tho company's attention has often been called to Its dangerous character. H9.NEY MARKET OLO'ilXU RBMXr.

The Head aad Arm of a Human Bail Drop From the Running Uoar of Train at th TTreatjr flfth Stwet gt. tion. A hor I da accident occurred last night at; a spot half way 1 etivnen Third avenuo and Clark stroet and ort Hamilton. The titBt that was known of the accident was at 0:30 o'clock, whon a train, drawn by engine No. 13, reaohed the terminus oa Third avenuo aud Twenty fifth stroet.

It was tho last trip for tho day for So. 13, and Switchman Goorge Itose waB on hand to send the dummy aud the car into tho depot. The train stopped to let the passengers off, and as the engine startod for tho house and swung around the curve Rose bw tho head aud shoulders of ft man drop from the runuing gear of tho dummy. By tho aid of a flickering lamp the switchman saw that tho features wore bittorod beyond recognition. The head and face were mashed to a jolly and the hair and board wero matted with blood.

Roso gave the alarm aud word was sent to the Eighteenth precinct police station. Acting Captain Collins, Deteotive Sergoants Burns tnd llyan and Patrolman Dougan hastened to the scene, and, procuring a soap box from a grocer near by, placed the section of the body in it and took it to the polico station. A horse and wagon, with tin boxes In it, were prooured, and, armed with lanterns, tho police proceeded to search for the balance of tho body. For mile after mile the search was continued, but it was not until Clark street, a mere lane in New Utrecht, was reached that anything was found. There the lanterns revoalod a human leg lying outBide of the traok.

A few yards further on wero found tho lower part of the trunk aud other parts of tho body. Tho remains were gathered up and placed in the boxes and taken to the station houso. There it waB found that an arm and a leg were Biill missing, and although tho search was resumed tho missing members enuld not be found. Aotinc Captain Collins and his mon thon arrostod Ivory H. Nuto, the engineer; Conductor Jackson aud Brakeman Charles Davis and locked them up for the night, When the clothing that Btill adhered to the body was searohed a hunting caie watch was found in the vest pooket.

It was wound up, but had stopped at exactly 8 o'olook. There were also 85 cents in ohange in the pookets. man's identity not positively known, but it is believed that tho body is that of Timothy Burton, who livos on Eighty sixth Btreot, Now Utreoht. Doorman Mnrphy, of the Eighteenth preijinet, is the authority for that information. "1 am protty positive that it is Timothy's Burton's body," he said to an Eaole reporter this morning, "I was for a timo a conductor on the Third avenue road and he used to ride with mo very often." "Have you auy idea that he oommitted bui oide the doorman was asked.

"Not at all," was the reply, "He was not that kind af a man. My opinion is that he was accidentally Acting Captain Ooliins said that he bollovod that the man wasou his way homo when ho was killed and that his head aad Bhoulders wero oaught in Buoh a way that they wore oarried all the way to Fort Hamilton and baok to tho Twenty fifth street depot. Tho time that the man's watoh stopped, aud that is undoubtedly tho timo ho was killed, bears out that theory. Detectives Burns and Ryan called at Burton's house, ou Eighty sixth street, Una morning, and learned thero that ho, had not been homo since yostorday afternoon. Coronor Roonev visited the Eighteenth precinct station to day, and, after a jury had viowed the parts of the body, tho remains wero taken to an nukertakor's on Third avenue and Twenty fourth stroet.

Nute, Jackson and Davis were arraigned before Justice Tighe this morning and discharged. NAVY YARD NOTES. Boston Received Now Shaft Yesterday. rjc Crank Chief Engineer Dungan, head of the Bteam engineering department at the navy yard, suc ceeded yesterday afternoon in getting a new crank shaft on board the crnisor Boston in placo of tho one which was broken several weeks ago. The work was aoeomplishod, under cirenmstanoes whioh rendered it one of peculiar difficulty, a remarkably brief period of timo.

Chief Dungan had the new crank shaft ready to be taken from tho shops on Wodnosday night, but owing to tbe fact that tho floating derrick could not be takon past tho now dry dock, whence tho Puritan was just about to come out, a delay resulted. Yester day, however, tho big Bhaft, weighing 30 tons and nearly 30 feet long, was trucked about 700 feet, put on tho derrick and lifted on to tho Boa ton. Tho Bhaft is one originally intended for the Boston, but was superseded by the one of forged iron which was recently broken, owing to discoveries in connection with tho steel shafts of tho Dolphin which caused a distrust of tho steel. The shaft, however, lias sinco been tested and found capable of sustaining tho strain that would come upou it. It neoded to be shortened three feot, bat otherwise waB not subjected to any important alteration.

Tho indicators to bo used in tho second trial of the new gunboat Concord, built by the Quintard iron works, havo been undergoing tests at tho navy yard for the past three weeks. Thomas Fray, is the Quintard people's representative in the tests, Ho has not in this case, as in previous ones, any connection whatevor with the trial of tho ship or with tho machinery. Tho Concord isroquirod to develop 3,400 horso power aud the contractors will get $100 bonus for every additional horso power or will forfeit $100 for every unit of horse power undor tiiat figure. On the first trial of the ship tho feed pumps failed to work, so that tho engineers could not get enough water for tho boilers and for tho first hour only 3,300 hoi'BO power was developed, after which the pressure was reduced and a lowor figure still waB mado. Secretary Traoy consented to a second trial, seoiug that the failuro was no fault of the contractors.

Tho Yorktowu will bo docked to day. Anew Bet of books will be begun in tho general storekeeper's department as soon as they arrive. IT WAS TflElll FIN' Ah VISIT. They, Haotvaver, Called Whcro Had No Call to Call. Tftoy James Patterson and Robert McAllister, bo'h residents of 10 Willetb stroet, New York, made their last call at the residence of Mr.

H. Book staver, 01 South Third street, lbout 10 o'clock last evening, and found tho place to pleasant that somo time later, on thoir showing no dispo tion to depart, a broad hint was Riven that the clock on the mantel was slow. This failing, it was plainly convoyed to them that their prosonco fiu therwas not desirable. This, too, being unheeded, tho proprietor called for tho polico aud Officer Smith of tho Fifth nrocinot responding, fonnd such resistance in his efforts to eject tho intruders that ho had to call in three other officers and with their aid he auooeeded in arresting the men. Justice Goetting this morning left each of them the option of paying down 11.50 fine or going to jail for ton days.

Adams A Oomfakv, Jeirolor, 474 Fulton at, Air, 0 Tbe Indnstrionu Uavcal Keeps Ou Forga Forger James Halstead, aliaB Charles M. Stanton, alias Robert W. Qleasou, who communicated by letter ou December 15 last to tho Commercial bank of this city his determination to forge only elevou more checks on that institution aud then go West to start out tho new year, has turned np again.

This time he has movod his base of operations to tho city of Bridgeport, Conn. Ho went thore probably because he thought the unsuspicious natives did not get news from the big, bad world and wonld not have heard of hia depredations in financial circles. Bright aud early this morning whon the Commercial bank bogan ho now year's business two more checks from IJ olstoad dropped out of tbo lot. Thoy were pre ety much covered with stamps and indorsements and looked as thoroughly reliable as red and black ink conld make them, Halstead has taken another pinnge into tho directory and ho appears this time in the person of E. P.

Keed who makes out two checks to himself nndei the name of Frederick E. Thompson. Then tho Becond member of his new dual personality turns the checks over and indorses them in good form. Both checks are drawn ou Deoember 20 upon the regular check blank of the Commercial bank. Each is for tho sum of $15.

Across tho face of both is the red stamp Certified Decomber 20, 90. J. J. Vail, oashler." The signaturo of Mr. Vail in truly wonderful to behold.

It is handsomely written, and the final "1" ia drawn out iu a tail that covers half the ehook. This is tho first timo that Halstead has used Mr. Vail's name on the checks and hia arti tio success is all tho more commendable on that account. On9 of the checks is drawn on Mc Mahon, Wren wholesale liquor dealers, 454 02 Wator street, Bridgeport, and the othor upon Wil'iara Landesman, grooer, Washington avenue and State Btreet, tho same placo. The checks wero deposited in tho City national bank of Bridgeport, sent to the bank's correspondent in Now York, the Third national bank, indorsed paid by that institution and sent to Brooklyn for polleotion.

Ilere thoy receirod the most potent indorsement of all ''Fraud" in blue perroil and bearing thiB they will find their way back to Bridgeport. In the meantime Halstead will undoubtedly get in somo more of his fancy checks upon the rural residents of tho nutmeg state. HIS LAST HAVEN A.H Ex Admiral Palls a Victim to the Grip. Ho Feusht Under tho Stan and Stripe in the Rebellion and SubJeqnentlj Qaolkd Insurrection ia the Bepablic of Hfiyti. Admiral Mason S.

Cooper, Haytian navy, the eldost son of Bear Admiral George H. Cooper, a retired officer of tho United States navy, died unexpectedly at 8 o'clock this morning, aftor a three week's illness, at his residence, 88 Clinton avenue. He had been attacked with a form of la grippe, which turned to erysipelas aud caused his death. Admiral Cooncr was born at Portsmouth, July 10, 1847, thus being in the forty fourth year of his ago. Some time after the opening of tho war of the Rebellion he entered the Union navy and for meritorious conduct while under firo was successively elevated to the ranks of mate and ensign.

Shortly aftor tho surrender of Lee at, Appomattox and the final declaration of peace, he resigned from the navy and entered the Pacific mall service. The first steamer the company Bent out to cruise along the coasts of Japan and China bore him in an official capacity, and for fourteen years ho remained in its employ. He roso to be a captain of somo of tho finest and largest vessols owned by tiio corporation. When the "Cross' line wa3 sold to the Japanese, Admiral Cooper returned home. For two years ho served as an inspector of customs in New York.

When the insurgents Bnoceeded in capturing throo cities from Presidont Solomon of Hayti, and threatened his removal from tho office of chief executive of the island, this official, feeling that his solo salvation lay in tho efficiency of his navy, invited the deceased to take charge of his ships and naval foiceB with the rank of admiral. Uo immediately accepted the responsible pojitionj and by skillful maneuvering soon quelled tho insurrection and compelled the revolting cities to surrender. During one of the engagements Admiral Cooper received a serious wound in the leg which required five months' treatment in a hospital to heal. He continued at the head of the Haytien nayy for six years, during which time he won the respect and esteem of the natives as well as of foreign residents. When President Solomon was ousted out of his place the admiral's position in the late strugglo made him also an object against whom tho now successful rebels aimed and his life was so endangerod that he was compelled to flee to tho United States, claiming, however, fli'Bt the protection of tho American minister and thus securing his passage home.

Three weeks ago ho was appointed by Senator Hearst of California to superintend the build ing of his son's yacht at Providence, R. I. President Hippolyte, of Hayti, had also tendered him his old position as admiral of the navy, but fauil lly affairs would not permit him to accept. He had lived in Brooklyn over a year and was a mem ber of Rankin post No. 10, G.

A. of New York He was an attendant at Dr. Cuyier's church and this minister will conduct tho iu ieral ritos on Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. Private interment will take place next morning at Greonwood. The deceased leaves a widow and a young Bon.

William Bennett's Strange Disappearance. fit llai Jlten Stoklnsr His Trrnly Years aed Found Banhtor Hor, Drep Oit sf Siyht Brief Interview.

Hiinsolf Aftor a In the advertising columns of to day's Eaole there appears a request tor William Bennett, "who was looking for his daughter Sarah for twenty years and fonnd her," to call on J. It, Newcombe at 804 GateB avenue, whore he will here of something to his advantage. There is in this case a peculiar story of long separated father and daughter boing found to oaoh other, only to spend a few brief hours establishing identity and expressing delight that their search had come to an ond, whon thoy wore soparatod again and tho search of tho daughter for her father is again taken np. William Bennett left New York In 1840 to seek fortune on tho gold fields of California, leaving his wifo and iufant child Sarah behind. He expected he would soon return laden with gold.

His wife hoped he would, but ten yoara later she rtiod without having hoard from him. Sarah was then a girl of about 10 years, Hor mother had boen a member of the Norfolk street, New York, church, and Jamos Nowcomhe, a prominent member of that churoh, adopted Sarah. She grew up in his family and is now the wife of a prosperous New York merchant. She had no recollection of hor fatlior. It would seem from what has been learned recently that William Bennett's fortune came after his wife died, and he then hastened to Now York, that his family might onjoy tho benefits of his wealth.

He found that his wifo was dead and could find no trace of his daughter. He bogan to advortise for her, and for twenty years he continued inserting advertisomonts In newspapers in all partB of the oountry. Sarah had become a Nowcombo and was known by that name. If she saw tho advortisement she thought nothing of it, for she knew nothing of her father. Four weeks ago her father was introduced to hor.

J. It. Nowcomhe, a grandson of the James Nowcombe who adopted Sarah, tolls the story of tho meeting and tbe almost instant redisappearance of the father. Young Nowcombe, who is an employe of tho New York and Now Jersey tolophono company and who lives at 804 Gates avenue, says; "About four weeks ago a young woman Twho announced herself as Mtss Terry called itoon a cousin of mine in Now York and said she would liks to know where Sarah Bennett was, as her father, who was very wealthy, would pay 1200 to know where Sarah was. Miss Terry was sent to ino and William Bennett was given tho address of Sarah.

As she is tho wife of it prominent buni noBs man, I would rather her name should not appear in print. Mr. Bennett called ou her and found undeniable proof that she was his daughter. Thon after tho identification had been established the two Bpent a yery pleasant evening together. The father seemed to bo most happy at having found his daughter and the daughter was equally delighted at discovering hor father, "Their parting was touching and affectionate.

Mr. Benuott said ho would return to his daughter's house tho following Sunday, and his daughter's family made preparations to give him a boarty welcome. Sunday came and passed, but tho father did not return. Three mors Sundays hare gone, but tho father is still absent. No word has teen received from him, and tho daughter is vtry anxious to know where lie disappeared to and why he did not return.

Siie fears that someono has interfered with his exorcising his will. She is wealthy and has no need of his money, if bo has any, bnt sho wirnts the love and affect jon of a she never knew but for a few brief hours. Ho is an ohl man now. it is very straneo mat no should say, as ho did, that he had been looking for and advertising for her for twenty years and that then, when ho found her prosperous and in a Bood home whore he would bo welcomed, ho should again disappear, She is greatly upset over the matter and all her friends are anxious to do Eomething toward clearing UP 'he mystery."

The Terrible Disaster at Wort ley, England. A Keoul Full of Utile Girls With Uletfe. in? Ablaze aud Shrieking; for Help, The Sad Ending of a Christmas Festival.

London, January 2. Further particulars reooivod to day from Wort ley, near Leeds, show that the terrible scenes witnessed at tbo school fete thero wero in no way exaggerated, though tho cause of the disaster was not the falling of a string of Chinese lant erns, as at first supposed. The sohool fats roforred to was oharity bazar held undor tho auspiios of tho parish of Wortlov. Tho budding used for the fete was the church school adjoining the Wortley Episcopal church Part of the programme of the bazar's attractiens was a series of tableaux, in which a number of tho young girls and boys of tlto parish' took part. For this display a small stago was erected in tho school room, and to the right of tho stage and opening upon it was a room used as a dressing room, or groen room, by the ohildron, who had for weeks past been preparing for aud looking forward to tho ovont which was to result in such a terrible finale.

Inside this dros3ing room, just bofore the disaster, a crowd of joyous children was gathered, all the girls of the party boin? in light gauzy attire, and many of them covered in addition with cotton wool used to represent snow. In addition several or tho children carriod, dangling on slioks above their hoads, Iightod Chinese lanterns, The thon preparing, was iniendod to symbolize the wintor frolics of the "mnmmers" in Hays gono by. The paronts and friends of tho children were assembled In tho school room, forming a bappy.chiitting audience, prepared to admire aud applaud everything said or done by their dear ones. Suddeuly shrieks of terror issued from tho little dressing room and tho audienco sprang in alarm from their seats, the male portion of the assomblago making a rush for tho schoolroom stage. The men wero horror stricken to see a number of children rush upon tho stago with their costumes on fire.

In a moment the air was filled with orles of terror from (he ohildron and from the women in the audienoo, many of whom then knew their little daughtors to bo In dangor of death. Several women fainted, thus adding considerably to the confusion. The men promptly seized tho burning children, threw them upon tho staas and smothered tho flames which enveloped thsir garments with tbe ourtaius, mats, window blinds anything thoy could hinds upon in the emergency. Several of tho men tore off their coats and used them to save the lives of tiio panic strickon children while the little ones were being rescued. Shiieks of terror and groans of agony rang throughout the building, the horrors of tho dis aster being almost beyond description, but easily imagined by parents.

Finally suffering children to the number of about twonty wore takon to the Wortley infirmary, whilo others wero attended to at their own homes. Up to tho present thero are four deaths recorded as the result of tho disaster and several of tho injured children aro not ex pected to recover. An investigation into the cause of tho disaster Bhows that while tho children were gathered in the droc otng room preparatory to making their appearance on tho stago one of the littlo girls, who was playing with a lighted lamp, accidental ly set fire to her clothes. She uttered i cry of terror, tried to extinguish tho flamos with her hands and rnahod toward tho door loading to the stago. Her cry and the sight of the tlamos caused a panic among tho other children, who also made a rush for tho door mentioned.

Tho result was that a crowd of children wero crushed around the child whoso clothes wero already in flames, and thereby ignited tho clothing of twenty or thirty other children. Tho parents of the injured and dead children severoly censure lie people who had the manageinont of tho bazar for not taking precautions In the dressing room to avoid 6uch a disaster as the one which has just plunged Wortley into gloom.

111., January s. A special from Pine llidirp, 8. says: "It is evident, from the testimony of officers and men, that tlic Seventh barely escaped tho trade fate of CnBter in the battle of White Clay creek. The troopii had passed tho Catholic mission and wero dixmnuntrd in tho 13ia valley, one and one half miles wide, lint beyond tho school. At the otid of his valley i a narrow canon not oyer 75 foet wido and 300 yard Ions, opening into a small circular park.

It itna the object of the Indians to draw them into this small valloy. The boI (liem were gettins ready to make a rush on foot lor the top of the hill, trlion the cry arose that they surrounded. Advancing; uovr in one, xovf in auotlier direction, on either Hide of the Talley, they found tlicmselven opposed each timo by 00 to: 300 Indians. Boon the hilld began to swarm with 1,800 to S.000 warriora, and id twenty minutes more the tragedy would have gono to tho world, when tho uutirins Ninth rede in, as they rode boforo at tho timo of the Meeker massacre, attacking furiously the rear of the Savaco Horse, scattering thorn in every direction. Before tho enomy could rally from their confusion the boys in blue withdrew slowly and sullenly to Tine IiidKe.

Tho hostiles are hmy stealing horses and cattle in every di rection. TVliilo tho blizzard made tho old men, women and ohildron sutler it will havo little or no effect ou the young bucks and warriors. It is believed that Little" Wound's was tho head that planned aud directed the battle, as it showed more irenor alship than had bfen displayed since Red Cloud's fighting days. Old ltcd Cloud sent in a letter la night claiming that lie was a prisoner and bogging the soldiers to omc and savo him. This is corroborated by tho friendlier, who Bay that when thcatampede took place Monday old Red's wife began to throw things into the wacron and, witH trus wifely spirit, said Bho was for war and would go out on tho bloody path even if her liege lord remainod aud fought on tho other side.

Omaha, January 2. The Bee has tho following from its Btaff correspondent: Pine Ridge agency, S. via Rush ville General Brooke and staff, together with eight companies of tho Ssuond infantry and all the Ninth cavalry that have been here, started into the field at 11 o'clock yesterday morning via tho Oelriohs road to Beaver creek, eiuhicen miles almost duo west of this agency. From thero iiioy will twins out into as long a line as practicable, thus forming tho western and part of the northern sido of a hollow square which it now seems it has been decided to form about the hostiles. Carr's command has arrived at Wounded Knee, near the point whore the bdttlo took which is six miles oast of Porcupine Butte ov about sixteen miles northeast of here, at Wounded Knee post oliiciN Thus it seems that Carr's command is to constitute the east and north aides of the squaro.

From the expression upon tho faces of tho oflicers and men as thoy pulled out through the suow and bitter cold it was evident that thoy did not relish General Jdiies' order. Three companies of the First infantry from San Francisco have arrived and six more are expoeted to day to replace the Second. A scout came in yesterday and reported that tho main body of the hostiles had moved back twelve miles from the agency and toward tho Bad Lands on the north. Another arrived last evening and reported tho Indians indulging in a wild war dance only eight miles from here. A party of Indian itcouti visiting the sceno of Monday's battle found nluo Indiaus who wore wounded in tho fight still alive.

Two of them had been taken to a lor bnt nearby and were being cared for by a squaw that had remainod behind. The other sevou, all of whom wore found lying in gullies remote from the battlefield, bad survived tho blizzard without any attention of any kind. Two wero bucks aud the other five were squaws. There was scarcely enough life left in any of the seven to pay the scouts for bringing them in, but thsy did so and thoy are. now with the others in the Episcopal church.

In addition to tho nine adults found two tiny Iu diau babies, neither of them over 3 months old, wero found alive. Each was besido tho dead body of its mother. They were well wrapped np, but how they ever survived the fearful weather of the last forty eight hours (corns a miracle. Tho little innocents wero brought to tho agency and found friends in tho wives of some of tbe Indian scouts. Of thirty Cvo wounded Indians brought in after the battle, nearly all of whom wero squaws and children, not one has as yet died, though many of them are badly manglod with buliets.

The rear guard of tiie party of chanty doing scouts that went out on their search for wounded Indians wore forced to exchange several shots with some of tho roving hostiles. After the late battle the Indian scouts went over the field and picked up all the disabled hostiles they could find before the troops were compelled, to hurry in here and protect the agency from the uprising that occurred, as previously described. The Indian scout that fell at Wounded Knee was givon a military burial by his comrades under command of Lieutouaut Taylor, Rev. Mr. Cook presiding.

The snow storm that has baon raging for twenty four hours has ceased. Tho weather is warmer, and as a result tho vigilant outlook for a surprise by tho hosiiies which was allowed to lapio during tho war of the elements has been resumed. None of tho wounded soldiers aro any worse and most of them seem a little better. General ErooUo left I'iue at noon, at the head of a column consisting of the Second infantry and tho Ninth cavalry. They marched toward tho northwest, where General t'arr is now supposed to bo.

One hundred aud thirty five Iu dians of Two ritrike's band came in yesterday and joined American Horse's camp. They reported to Captain Ernst, who issued them, rations, lieports Bent out from Lincoln that General luooke has been relieved by Goneral Miles are untrue. General lirooko will remain in command. Reports of a massacre rumored at Denver and Salt Lako are also untrue. The whole of the Ninth cavalry is in General Brooke's column.

Pine ftiiiiir. H. IX, January All communication with ths railroad is cut off, oiccpt to tho officers over the military wire. There has been no mail service since Sunday, and no oiio except Indians to carry telegrams to tho isilroad. General Miles sent out a telegram warning settlers along tho railroad.

Much has been said about the treachery of the Indian scouts. Tlure aro cases enough to make everyone fear them when away from the agency, but thoy are not disturbed, ai a rule. Captain Taylor denies emphatically that any of his men timed against th soldiers, but fought bravely with them, and many soldiers confirm his words. Captain Jacob Jackson, of the Seventh cavalry, had a narrow escape, howevor, from some who v. tiro the police uniform and soldier scout fur uvarcoats and capas.

Tho captain ha a squ id i twenty awn ciusltu fugitives a or more lr: Wounded Knor, when a half a izon of trailers, or hostiles, disguised in ilice and scc uls' clothing, rode up witli a pleasant greeting, tUiii'jl, cantered olf fifty yj.its, wheeled and without warning opened fire. At the same in it fully fifty more Indian's appeared over tho ci jf of the liil! and fct.ti tcd for the little bind, who retreated to the crook, firing as they went.

January 2. General this morning received a teie nr.im from General, Miles, dated at Pine Kidge fluency, January 1, saying that 3,000 Indians iFomen and children, and inclnding about six hurMed bucks, aro now encamped in a section of tho Bad Lands about fii'leen miles from tho Pino Rilgo agency, and there is almost a cordon of troops around them. Goneral Miles announces that he hoped to be able to induce the hostiles to surrender without a struggle The spot where they arc encamped he describes as somewhat like tho lava beds of California, wbero the Modocs made their final fight. It is an excellent position from an Indian standpoint, bnt thero are now no nvonues of escape, all having boen closed by tho troops. General Miles says the Indians havo gathered some catllo and provisions and appear to no determined to mako their fight for supremacy at this point.

Ho says ho will make another effort to get thorn baok to tho agency with out bloodshed, and in order to do so he has established a regular siege around this stroiig diold.

Special to tho Eagle.) Albanv, N. January 2. William F. Shoehan was to come to Albany today to remain until the meeting of tho legislature next Tnosday, but as ho was about to leavo his home in Buffalo he was detained by the serious illness of his father. General Peter C.

Doyle, who camo on from Buffalo last night says Mr. Shee'rui's plan was to follow him to day if his father's health was not too precarious. Mr. Sheehan's absenoe will not materially interfero with tho progress of tbe canvass here, as everything seems to be arranged from the speakership of the assembly to the doorkeepers. Goneral MoMahou of New York and tho assemblymen from Oneida, are tho only mem bei'a eleot who are hero.

Goneral Mclfahon said he'had come np from the metropolis to look about early, as it was uew business to him. It is bus Ijfeoted, however, that ho is here so early and aliono by spooinl requost of Governor Hill for tho ourpoBon of a conference on legislation. General McMahon seems to be a favorito oandldate for chairman of tho committee on cities. Charles R. Deforostof Troy, who claims to havo seeurod tho clerkship of tho assembly, is at tho Delevan house to day ontertainiug porsonal friends.

Ho says thore will bo no contest over the clerkship. General McMahon said lie had heard of but one candidate for a position in tho assembly and he was Ex Assemblyman Edward Mooro of Richmond county, for sergeant at arms. They say Tammany will support Mooro, and that is ail the candidate they will have from the metropolitan diBtriet. Deforest was asked whether John II. Douglass of Kings was to bo assistant clerk of the assembly; he said "he had not considered that matter," General McMahon was asked who was likely to bo senator.

Ho replied: "I have but one candidate, and I am not sure that ho will accept tho placo if it is offered to him. My candidate," said he, "is Governor Hill. It looks as if ho might decline the offer of tho place. It is a healthful sign," remarked General when a groat oftico seeks an occupant, instead of having the case tho other way." Governor If ill gives it out authoritatively today that he will not attend tho banquet of tbo young men's Democratic olub of Philadelphia on Jauuarr8, it having boon published broadcast that tho governor would attond that dinner with Mr. Cleveland.

Mr. Hill says thero was never any authority for snob a statomont. lio says ho could not leave Albany ou January 8, as that would bo only a day or two after the 'organization of tho legislature. Governor Hill's friends say they nevor behoved the governor had authorized tho recout dispatch from Philadelphia that he wonld attend the banquet. LIVELY ROW AT A WAICH MEETING.

In a suit for $3,000 damages which Bernard Davidson, a tailor of 058 Fulton Btreot, began in the supreme court to day, he makes a sworn statement of high handed action taken by men to collect money from him. He says lie borrowed $50 from tho New York loan and trust company, giving a chattel mortgage on his furniture as security. Benjamin Lissauor ana Samuel L. I'roy, ho swears, went to his place on November 25, 1800, and demanded $71 in payment for Iho loan and $47 to cover expenses. Lissauei' represented himself as a deputy herifT and Frey said ho was Apole, manager of tbe loan and trust company.

They threatened to arrest Davidson if ho did not pay, and they dragged him from bis Btoro and several blocks along Fulton streot, sayiiig they wero taking him to the oourt house. His wife was del icato and she fainted when ho was dragged from the store. Because of his wife's condition and because ho believed they had authority to arrest him he asked thorn to take him to his brother's store and there ho borrowed $40 which be gavo them. Thoy then took him back to hi own store, where they took a melton overcoat valued at $55 and pawn tickets representing goods worth $300, the property of Davidson. All this they did, bo Davidson swears, under falso representation.
