SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1886.
UEP.ONIMO’S \V A It.
What Will he Done With the Mur
derous Chief ?
F fn W/inhington P *t.
General satistneiion wus expressed at
the War Department upon the receipt ot
the news of G ronimo’s surrender. Great
praise is bestowed upon Gen. Miles for
the excellent conduct of the campaign,
but Gen. Crook’s work is not forgotten.
It is said that the results ot Gen. Crook’s
campaign were ot great value to Gen.
Miles, and the latter has substantially
followed tbe plan outllued by his prede
cessor. W r itb increased forces It nas been
possible to guard every water hole and
effectually deteat any attempt ot the hos
tile* to return to their reservation.
Gen. Drum, acting Secretary of War,
was in good spirits after the receipt of the
official dispatch confirming the press re
ports ot the surrender. Ho said that this
was the end ot a w ar running, with brief
intermissions, through twenty-five years,
and Gen. Miles deserved credit tor bis
vigorous work. Capt. Lawton had also
distinguished himself as a gallant officer,
and hi* pursuit of the hnsules under
adverse cuiidi lions and hardships
was thoroughly commendable. The
Acting Secretary was not prepared to say
what disposition would be made of the
captives, but certainly, ne said, nothing
would be done in the matter until the
President’s wishes were known. The
original dispatch had been promptly
transmuted to the Adirondack* for the
intorm ition ot the President, and until
he bud been heard Imm the Indians would
be held tn confliK-ment at Fort Bowie,
Arizona.
Giber officers of the department were
especially gratified at learning thut Ge
ronimo’s surrender was unconditional.
Ihe on inion prevails in some quarters
that the Indians will be transferred to
the custody ot the Interior Department
lor a time, and that Gerommo and bis
lieutenants will ultimately be surren
dered to the civil authorities ot Arizona
and put upon trial for murder, with a re
sult that would require little effort to
guess. Anofficerof high rank, however,
Inclines to the belief that the President
will never consent to surrender Geroni
mo to tne civil authorities, but will or
der his trial by court martial if it should
be regarded *s proper to try him at ail.
Tne same officer said that the uccess
tui ending of the campaign would be of
inestimable value to the Territory ol Ari
zona, as. the hostile* had so ravaged and
harried an aiea ol rich country two hun
dred miles square as to render it unin
habitable.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE APACHE WAR.
The capture of Gerouimo and Ins band
of Apache warriors puts an end to all
further accounts oi bloody battles or fe
rocious cruelties practiced on unarmed
and defenseless persons at the bands ot
this tribe with which the newspapers
have been teeming tor the last quarter of
a century, and the Mexicans, against
whom the tribe has been waging coliß
blooded and heart-sickening war since
the days ot Cortes, may at last cease
trembling lor the safety of their life
and property. The Apaches as maraud
er* nave ceased to exist —for just so
long as a proper supervision is kept over
them at the reservation on which they
will bo placed. Of all the tribes of In
dians, tne Apaches held out tbe longest
against efforts at civilization, in 1871
the War Department confided to Gen.
George Crook the task of whipping into
submission all the bands of tbe Apache
nation living in Arizona. With the
single exception of the Chiracahuas this
was done thoroughly. They were not at
tacked by troops, but settled upon the San
Carlos reservation, only to leave it when
they telt that way, giving as their reason
insufficiency of food and inability todigest
hymn books, which had been liberally dis
tributed among them by the agent. Mat
ters readied a focus when a Cbiracabua
squaw was accidentally shot by the Chief
ol Police of the reservation. Apologies
would not lie received, the Chief of Police
was killed, bis bead made a loot ball for
the young bucks and squaws, and then
the wnole band—men, women and chil
dren, 710 in ail, started on the dead run
for the Mexican boundary. They were
pursued by troops witn such success
that by the time they reached
their impregnable position in the Sierra
Madra iheir numbers were reduced to 600,
150of whom were warriors and big boys.
In March, 1883, a band of 26 Chiracahuas
under the craity and daring Chief Cuuto,
who was in this oity only a short time
ago, made a dash into Arizona, traversing
from 75 to 100 miles a day, killing and de
stroying everything in their path. It was
on this raid that tne butchery of Judge
MoCoiuas and wife ol Bllver City, N. M.,
was committed, and Charlie, tueir boy,
abducted. The Indiana lost but two mem
bers ot their band, and killed 25 persons,
Mexican and American.
44en. Crook determined to follow the
trail th n v dad left, and track them to their
lair. The peaceful Apaches supplied
scouts, and on May 1 the expedition
crossed the Mexican boundary. After
much difficulty the ludlans were tracked
down and brought to terms, and in tittle
more than a month from the time of start
ing the expedition returned, bringing
buck all the Cbiracabua* to the rewerva
tion, including tue coiefs Geroniino (or
Hieronymo), Cbato, Loco and Chihuahua,
besides rescuing some prisoners and re
storing a quantity of stolen property.
Geroniino at that time had made his
name feared among the peasantry of Chi
huahua and Sonora, in which States he
was believed to be the devii sent to punish
the people for their sins. Lie is a man of
noticeable brain power, physically perfect
I and mentally aoute —just iiie individual to
[ lead a forlorn hope In the taco of every ob
j stacle.
For a timo the Chihuahuas remained on
tho reservation, but they became again
discon tented and once more took to the
war path under Geroniino s leadership.
The honors that they have perpetrated
upon the defenceless settlers, the many
times they have been entrapped and again
escapod and thedangers and difficulties of
the chase under Gen. Miles are matters ot
history too recent to need repealing here.

TIIOS, B. BKKO’S HAKI) FIGHT.
His £le-Ejftction Upon
Ihe Knight** of Labor.
From th* Xew York Times.
Portland, Me., Sept. 7—Next in Im
portance to the general result of the elec
tion in this State on Monday next is the
fight in the Congressional district repre
sented by Thomas 15. Reed. Two years
ago Judge Cleaves, the Democratic can
didate, claimed that he should have beat
en Reed if It bad not been lor Blaine’s
candidacy for President. Reed had oniy
925 plurality that year,running far be
hind the State ticket. The question is
now whether, with Blaine merely a
prospective candidate lor 1888, Reed
can be beaten by Clifford, ids pres
ent Democratic opponent. Ever since
the upheaval of 1874 Reed's district
has been fighting ground, and the
prominent position of the R-publican
Representative has given the contest na
tional importance. Tbe district is espe
cially rich in strong Democrats, and
many have tried tbelr hand ut beating
Tom Reed, and some have given him a
very close rub. The Republicans are
well organized, and Reed is speaking ev
ery night, assisted by o'her prominent
Republicans. Clifford, on the other band,
is fighting his Faille almost alone. This
being tbe case, were there no unusual
elements iu the contest at this tune, the
result would be a foregone conclusion.
But there is a strong irelin/ against Reed
among the Knights of Labor. VVheiher
this will turn the scale in lavorof Clifford
only the hallo*, ot next Monday will de
cide. Tbe Knights cite several of Reed’s
votes on questions of laud lorfelture and
alien land holdings as reasons why be
snould be defeated. Tbe Knights
were not at first quite satisfied
with Clifford, because be is a law
yer, but they have come to see
that it must tie Reed or Cliffotd, and will
govern themselves accordingly. Mr.
Powderly is alleged to be strongly op
posed to Reed’s election, and it has been
intimated that be would compel Moulton,
the labor nominee, to withdraw. It is
probable, however, that, this will not be
done. But there are at least 6,600 Knights
in the district, and it i*sale to sav that
Moulton will not receive more than 500
votes, ot the rest three-fourths will vote
lor Clifford, and the decision of the elec
tion rests witn tbe 1,890 Knights who have
generally cast tbe Keuublican ticket. If
they choose to elect Reed 'hey cun do it.
Tbe prohibition vole 1- still another fac
tor which cannot entirely be Ignored.
But it is hard, v probable that tbe increase
in this direction will be sufficiently
marked to influence the result, cither way,
altnongh the gain if any must cornu front
the ranks of Reed’s supporters.

How a Poor Boy Rename a Manu
facturer and a Powerful Citizen.
Dover, N. H., Sept. 9.—John T. Clout

ported, was born in New Durham, Deo.

PULSED IN MID AIR.
Perilous Position of an Aeronaut at
the Omaha Fair Grounds.
From the New York World.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 7. —Prof. Oscar
Hunt, an aeronaut, was engaged by the
managers of the Omaha Fair to give as
censions during this week. At noon to
day when on the eve of going up, and while
sitting on his trapeze, one or the stay ropes
was prematurely cut. The big air ship
swayed around in such a way as to break
the other rope and throw the balloon out
of its course. Efforts of tbe aeronaut to
regain control were fruitless, and tbe bal
loou went bounding upward, striking first
one building then another. The people
below stood with bated breath when the
flagstaff on the cupola struck the Pro
fessor lu the back of the bead, rendering
him insensible, so that he fell trom the
trapeze. His body shot downward
through the air and 20 feet below struck
the cornice of toe cupola, a protection
less than a foot wide. He struck so that
his body fell upon the ledge, and was held
by a sprig ol iron which pierced his oioth
tug.
Relief was sought at once, but some
minutes elapsed before the unfortunate
man could be released from bis perilous
mid-air position and landed safely upon
tbe ground. In the course of time be re
gained consciousness. The balloon arose
high, floated itroutul tor a while and then
landed tn the city about two miles from
where it broke away.
AGNES ETHEL’S LEGACY.
Effort to Break the Will of Her
Husband lor Insanity.
From the New York Herald.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 7.—The contest
of Miss Harriet Trauy to break tbe will of
her father, Frank W. Tracy, the two mil
liouaire husband of Agnes Ethel, was re
sumed to-day. So confident is the daugh
ter olt he insanity of her father and that
undue influence was used to securo her
being cut off with only the use of SIOO,OOO
that slic has spurned all attempts looking
to a compromise. Dr. Charles Carroll
Lee, of the New Y’ork Charity Hospital,
wno treated Tracy five days before he
executed tho •‘cutting off” codicil, said
he was at that time "a physical wreck.”
He was then suffering terribly from dia
betes, superinduced by drinking an inor
dinate amount of stimulants.
1* ECU LIAR HABITS.
A servant iu the iamily described Mr.
Tracy as lie walked about, the housointbe
middle ol tne day iu his night, shirt.
Thom* s T. Walkitigsliaw, a New York
carpenter who made repairs at the Tracy
muiisioii and stables, said Tracy was con
tinually swearing because he made so
miicu noise, and at last went to France
to gel rid oi it.
Specimen chapters of love, profanity
and obscenity were also introduced.
From tbe testimony of tho old nurse it ap
peared Mr. Tracy was loud of hla daugh
ter, although tho opposition has made it
appear to the contrary.

lIBRGH AND THE BABIES.
A Characteristic Incident at a Lon s
Branch Hotel.
From the New York Star tDem.)
Long Branch, Sept. 6.—For an instant
the tall, gaunt form of a distinguished
diplomat and humanitarian darkened tbe
entrance to the West End Hotel yester
day morning, and in a moment more pro
portionally tall and angular letters an
nounced upon the hotel register the ar
rival of Henry Bergh, beloved of all the
animal kingdom. Mr. Bargh appeared a
trifle more Quixotic than usual, and his
latitudinal proportions were not
strengthened by the familiar square
orimmed hieh stove-pipe bat and long
J’rince Albert coat, to say nothing of the
still longer white overcoat that reached
below his knees. Snortly afterward he
was tounil sitting in the sun upon the
piazza with his eyes to seaward, and was
greeted by your correspondent.
“Sit down,” ho said, “and take a sun
ning. 1 have been persecuted by a
baby.”
“A Raby?” 1 asked. “Where?”
“1 have been so unfortunate,” he re
plied, “as to have occupied at the Elberon
Hotel, trom whence 1 have just come, a
room adjoining a nursery. That, baby,
sir,” ne continued,his brows darkening,
“bnskept me a wake all night with its in
fernal squealing and screeching. 1 have
cotne here for a change of air and scene.
Before registering, however, 1 expressly
stipulated with Mr. Hildreth that I should
be given a room as lar from one of these
young nuisances as it would be possible
for bim to do so, and I look forward to a
night, of peace and quiet and rest in con
sequence.
"You know that I am a lover of ani
mals, but my infatuation does rot go so
far as to include babies. If they had four
feet, 1 might feel some consideration for
them, but, having only two, I don’t. They
are always a nuisance, and are always
making a noise and disturbing grown peo
ple. What they were evermade for I can
not understand.”
“But, Mr. Borgb, you must acknowl
edge that they are a necessity.”
“1 acknowledge no such thing,” be re
plied, warmly. “They may be, aDd they
may not. If they are, let them be kept by
themselves. I know that a baby is the
natural consequence ot marriage. When
a young man falls in love with a woman—
by the way, read wbat Ouida has to say
about women—the chances are ninety
nine to a hundred that a baby will soon
appear. He and bis wife and their re
spective fathers and mothers-in-law, to
gether with all the rest of their numerous
relatives, except the unfortunate who
has to buy the customary silver mug and
spoon, and no doubt highly delighted at
his good, or bad, fortune, but that is no
reason why he should inflict his offspring
upon the whole of the rest of humanity.
Let bim keep it out of other people’s way.
Now, my idea would be to have" the State
cy national government found an enorm
ous institute or establishment where all
babies might be abut up and kept, where
they might be reared and brought up
without inflicting pain upon their fellow
beingsof a larger growth; where, in fact,
tnev can be kept until they arrive at an
interesting age, or at least an age when
they know enough not to make a noise. It
is singular how much noise will be tol
erated in children, and especially babies.
They are never quiet! Yes, there are
two occasions,” he continued, after a
moment’s reflection, “which I came
near forgetting when a baby is quiet.
One is when It is asleep, and the other
when it is having its insides slutted
with food.”
“Do not these occasions happen quite
frequently, Mr. Bergh?”
“In some cases, yes; in the vast majori
ty of cases, no. Or, at least. It would
seem not to me. Take, for instance, that
baby last night. It never slept nor ate,
to my knowledge. It was on the howl
all the time. Yes, sir,” said Mr. Bergh,
“babies are little fiends, in ruy estimation,
and of no use to any one.”
Just at this moment a stage came tear
ing down the shore, drawn by a poor,
bony, hall-fed brute, which was being
lashed most unmercifully by a small boy,
who stood up in his sent for the purpose.
In an instant Mr. Bergh’s features lost
the hardened look they had worn while
discussing babies, and his expression
became one of anguish, while in bis eyes
started the tears of compassion.
“See that young whelp beating that
poor dumb animal. If I was only in New
Y'orkl would have him arrested imme
diately. The brute!”
SIR EDWARD THORNTON’S
WASHINGTON LIFE.
nis Entertainments Gorgeous anti
He was Lionized in Society.
From the Nmc York World.
Washington, Sept. s.—Sir Edward
Thornton, who has just been recalled in
disgrace by the English government from
Constantinople, was for many years in
charge of the British legation here. He
was succeeded by tbe present Minister,
Sir Lionel Saekvllle West. Sir Edward
is about six feet tall, stands very erect,
and was regarded in Washington as a
model ot deportment. His hair is nearly
white and is parted in the middle. His
whiskers are of the mutton-chop order,
and are nearly as gray as his hair. Light
gray eyes, prominent nose and a heavy
jaw are tbe chief features of hisfaoe. Dur
ing his stav at th capital be was tbe lion
of Washington society. Hts wife is an
accomplished woman.
The Rritish Minister receives a salary
of $30,000 a year, and Sir Edward spent
it lavishly. Tbe receptions at, tho British
legation during his stay in Washington
were much sought after. These enter
tainments made the foundation ot Sir Ed
ward’s diplomatic reputation. There has
been absolutely no opportunity of late
years for a diplomat to learn anything of
diplomacy in Washington. The Ameri
can capital has been called the “Ilotany
Bay” of diplomacy, nnd at no other capi
tal can be found such a lormidable array
of broken down diplomats. Not one of
them, perhaps, with the exception of Mr.
De Struve, could hold a position as an em
bassador to a third-rate European power.
Sir Edward had nothing to do but pose
in Washington, and he did that very well.
If he bad been contented to remain where
he was he would in ail probability never
have been found out, and could have con
tinued in the role of a great statesman in
definitely. Sir E.Thornton was a triend
of Gladstone in early days, and it was
through this friendship that he secured
his transfer to tbe Bosphorus. His ap
pointment to Constantinople was some
thing of a surprise to Thornton’s friends.
Many of them predicted his failure nt the
time. They knew that it required some
thing more than deportment and dinners
to cope with the wily representatives of
the Czar at, the Turkish capital.
