TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD AND THE SPEAKER.
SHIP.
Gov. Brown, Vice President of the
Texas Pacific Railroad Company passed
through the oity this evening without
stopping. In reply to an inquiry on the
subject, he said that the company was not
interfering with, or attempting to influx
enoe in any way the organization of the
House of Representatives.
WRIGHT, OF INDIANA, CANES COLUMBUS
DELANO.
Judge Wright, of Indiana, former In**
dian Agent, assailed Columbus Delano,
former Secretary of the Interior, with a
oane. Delano received a very severe
blow on the temple. He staggered but
did not fall, though he bled freely. There
was but one blow, when ex-Solicitor
Smith restrained Wright. Delano was
taken in a carriage to the residence of his
son-in-law, Mr. Ames, Delano had
prosecuted, but in Judge, Wright’s mind
had persecuted him for alleged Indian
frauds.
It is likely the
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
called for to-morrow will be adjourned
from day to day until all the Democratic
mombers .put in an appearance, and that
the organization of the House will not
occur until the middle of next week.
THE BUDGET.
Washington, Oct. 12.—The Cabinet
occupied to-day with the budget. The
War Department wants $30,000,000; the
Navy $2,000,000, Justioe $200,000.
THE SIOUX
Are reported officially as resigned to come
to the Missouri.
CALLED ON HAYES.
Senators McCrary of Kentucky, Hill of
Georgia, and Sargeant California, and
many Republicans including Felton, Bis-
bee and Ackley of Louisiana, called on
Hayes to-day.
Judge Wright, before striking Delano
called him a blank falsifier. Delano re
ceived two blows and is quite nervous
and excited, though bis wounds are not
serious.

Constantinople, October 12.—Mukh-
tar Pasha’s official dispatoh explains that
the battle fought Tuesday near Aladja
Dogh was caused by an attempt, by the
Russians, to surprise a oorps of observa
tion which bad been posted at Kas Kan

London, Oot. 12.—The Standard's Ni-
copolis special correspondent says he has
trustworthy information that the cold,
rain and lack of winter clothing are cans*
ing great mortality in the Russian-Rou*
maman army.
BANKRUPTCY THREATENS RUSSIA.
The 2'imes, in its financial column, says
at St. Petersburg the rate of exchange is
23 pence, which is the lowest rate since
the Crimeau war. There seems to have
been a kind of panic at St. Petersburg
yesterday, due to the great depreciation
of paper ourrenoy, which depreciation
threatens temporarily to engulf the nation
in unusual bankruptcy.
RUSSIAN SILENCE AND SPECULATIONS.
London, October 12.—Tbere are no
further Russian bulletins about the latest
operations in Asia ; so it must be taken
as true that another attack on Mnkh-
tar Pasha has been repulsed. The Rush
sians are likewise silent about the jano-
tion of Ohefket Pasha with Osman Pasha,
which is reiterated from Turkish sources,
and augurs ill for tho success of the Rus
sian operations against Plevna, though
one correspondent at Bucharest thinks
that the Russians are so sure of capturing
Osman’s army that they are very well
pleased to get as many Turks into Plevna
as possible, so as to make a clean sweep.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Port Royal, Ootober 12.—Yellow fever
is on the decrease. Twenty-one oases
are under treatment, and all are conva
lescing. The yellow fever at this place in
no way interferes with railroad connec
tions between Augusta, Savannah and

Its Improvement — Convention to
Urge the Subject ou Congress—
Resolution Adopted.
St. Paul, Minnesota, Ootober 12.—
The Mississippi River Improvement Con
vention assembled here yesterday, attend*
ed by a large and influential body of dele
gates about one hundred in number from
the cities on the Mississippi, from New
Orleans to St. Paul.
Hon. Joseph Brown of St. Louis, was
chosen President, anfl Vice Presidents
from each State represented were also
chosen.
The proceedings were marked with
great unanimity and earnestness of pur-
pose in forwarding the object of the call,
whioh is to organize the public sentiment
of the Mississippi Valley in support of a
systematic pressure upon Congress to ob
tain from that body proper recognition of
the navigation interests of the upper Mis*-
sissippi, in the shape of adequate appro
priations for the construction of wing
dams and other improvements necessary
to secure a navigable low water stage
from St. Paul to St. Louis.
The following is a synopsis of the resr
olutions unanimously adopted:
After a preamble, reoitiDg the impor
tance of the Mississippi as a highway of
inland commerce, the greater cheapness
of water as compared with land trans-
portation, the resolutions urge upon Con
gress the pressing necessity of passing
such acts and making such appropriations
as will, in the shortest possible time, and
in the most economical manner, in all
seasons of the year, secure a good navi
gable stream of water from the falls of
St. Anthony to the Gulf of Mexico, and
if practicable give a minimum of about
five feet from St. Paul to St. Louis, also
about eight feet from St. Louis to Cairo,
and about ten feet from Cairo to New
Orleans. They urgently request Con
gress to adopt such legislation as will best
and most speedily secure the end in view,
and insist that in all aots providing for
an appropriation of money for internal
improvement, the improvement of the
navigation of the Mississippi be kept
most prominent as a distinctively national
work.
Attachment for Gov. Hartranft and
Others Asked For.
Pittsburg, October 12.—The praDd
jury asked for attachments for Gov. Har
tranft, Gen. Brinton, Gen. Lattisand Ma
jors Wilson and Morris who have failed

Episcopal Triennial Conference.
Boston, October 12.—The proceedings
of the convention were very interesting
to-day, and attracted a large congrega-
tion, but continue preliminary.
Mr. Fish made an earnest speech
against tampering with the Prayer Book
with a view to shortening service.
LATER REPORT.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Boston, Oot. 12.—The resolution for
the appointment of a joint oommitteo of
seven Bishops, seven Presbyteries and
seven Laymen to examine and report
what changes are needed, if any, in the
Rubric and Book of Common Prayer,
that there may be no contradictions in
the services, no ambiguity and no differ
ences of interpretation was disonssed and
the whole matter was referred to the com
mittee on Prayer Bocks.
The discussion of shortening of the
morning and evening services was taken
up. Hon. Hamilton Fish said he felt
bound to vote against the measure in the
form in which it was presented. The
dioceses of New York had voted against
it. He thought the amendment proposed
struck at the stability and sacredness of
the Book of Common Prayer. He did
not believe that the Ohurch in this coun
try was prepared to uproot the anchorage
of ages by a temporary expedient.
Ttie aotion of the previous convention
of 1874 was taken during its last days,
and when the convention had thinned
on(. He believed in a shorter form of
service for ordinary week days, but not
for Sundays and holy days. He thought
the same end could be accomplished by
an expression of the convention in regard
to the use of the Prayer Book, and not in
relation to its change of form. Should
the house reject the amendment, he bad
a resolution in conformity with the
aotion of the convention of 1874, which
he thought would attain the end desired,
and be acceptable to all. He appealed to
the House not to lay violent bands on the
Prayer Book.
It was decided to take the vote upon
this question at 11:45 a. m., to-morrow.
The debate was then continued.
Boston, October 12.—The House of
Bishops concurred iu the new Dioceses
for West Virginia.
TEXAN.
JUDGE HOWARD KILLS THE LEADER OF THE
MOB.
San Francisco, Ootober 12.—A dispatch
from Messila, New Mexico, says Judge
Howard killed Louis Cardis at El Paso,
Texas. Oardis was the leader of the mob
that arrested the oounty officers of El
Paso county. Great excitement prevails.
Sheriff Hutchinson,of Pensacola,Fla.,
it will be remembered, arrested the des
perado and murderer, Hardin, without a
requisitiou from the Governor of Texas.
Hardin was put in jail here to await the
necessary papers. The following extract
from the Pensaooia Herald shows that
the grand jury indicted Hutohinson, but
very properly recommended that it should
not militate against him with the exeou
tivo authorities:
Iu roference to the indictment whioh
we have felt it our duty to find against
Sheriff W. H. Hntchinso, for forcibly
and without duo authority of law oon-
fiuing and imprisoning one John Wesley
Hardin, and causing him to be sent out of
the State against his will, we respectfully
recommend him not only to the clemency
of tho Court but the case be continued
and in the interval of the Court that he be
recommended to be pardoned by the Gov
ernor of tho State of Florida. While our
oath obliges ns to bring this matter be
fore the Court, we reoommend that Sheriff'
Hutchinson’s official status be not affected
by it, as his act, though illegal, relieved
the community of a desperate and dan
gerous character.
Oil ! I lie Wretch I
Coul'eNsion or Gilman, the Forger.
New York, October 12.—Gilman, the
forger of insurance scrip, pleaded guilty.*
His confession read by his counsel is
touching and concludes: To sum
briefly, he wonid flay, that decline in
businesH, bad investments, heavy ex
penses, both business and domestic and
personal extravagance had betrayed him.
In probable exculpation of his crime, the
prisynor says that he loved better to give
money away than to spend it on himself,
that his thoughts and interests wore more
with charitable works. Suicide had been
mnch in his thoughts for many years.
Race Hornes in Baltimore.
Baltimore, October 11.—Raoer Ten
Broeck, with Vera Cruz and King Faro,
of Harper’s stable, arrived from Ken
tueky. The horses are in good condition.
Gone to Wanlilngton.
New York, Ootober 12.—Conkling and
Blaine have passed for Washington.
H&Uging is too good for the exeorable
scamp who got up the following prescrip
tion for “Making a Fashionable Woman.”
The ladies would torture him with
“switches,” hairpins and oambrio needles,
and then turn their armieB of “rats” and
“mioe” upon him. Here is what he says:
“Take ninety-nine pounds of flesh and
bones—but chiefly bones—wash olean,
bore boles in the ears, and out off the
toes; bond the back to conform to the
‘Grecian Bend,’ the ‘BoBton Dip,” the
Kangaroo Droop,’ tho Saratoga Slope,’ or
the ‘Bullfrog Break,’ as the taste inclines;
then add three yards of ruffles and seven
ty-five yards of edging, eighteen yards of
dimity, one pair of silk or ootton hose
with patent hip attachments, one pair of
false calves, six yards of flannel embroid
ered, one pair balmoral boots with heels
three inches high, four pounds whalebone
in strips, seventeen hundred and sixty
yards of steel wire, three quarters of a
mile of tape, ten pounds of raw ootton or
two wire hemispheres, one wire basket to
hold a bushel, four copies of the New
York Herald (trimple sheet), one hundred
and fifty yards of silk or other;dress goods,
five hundred yards of point lace, fourteen
hundred yards fringe and other trim
mings, twelve gross buttons, one box
pearl powder, one sauoer carmine and
an old hare’s foot, one bushel false
hair frizzled and fretted a la
manique, one bundle Japanese
switohes, with rats, mioe and other var-
mints; one peck of hair-pins, one lace
handkerchief nine inches square, with
patent bolder. Perfume with ottar of
roses, or sprinkle with nine drops of the
‘Blessed Baby’ or ‘West End.’ Stuff the
head with fashionable novels, ball tickets,
piny bills and wedding cards, some scan
dal, a great deal of lost time, a very little
sage; and half a grain of common sense,
three scruples of religion and a modicum
of modesty. Season with vanity, affec
tion and folly. Garnish with ear-rings,
breast-pius, chains, bracelets, feathers
and flowers to suit the taste. Pearls and
diamonds may be thrown in if you have
them. If not, paste and pinobback
from the dollar store will do. Whirl all
round in a fashionable circle, and stew
by gas light for six hours.
“Great care should be tAken that the
thing is not overdone. If it does not
raise sufficiently, add more copies of the
Herald.
“This dish is highly ornamented, and
will do to pnt at the bead of youV table
on grand occasions, but it is not suitable
for every day use at home, being very
expensive and indigestible. It some
times gives men the heart-burn and
causes them to break, and is certain death
to children.
“If you have not the ingredients at
band, you can buy the article ready made
in any of our large oities—if you have
money enough.”
THE NEW YORK FIREMEN.
HOW THEY ARE HOUSED, WHERE THEY
BLEEP, AND THE APPURTENANCES AND
APPLIANCES WITH WHICH THEY WORK.
As interesting to our fire laddies, we
reproduce the following account of the
way they “run with the machine” iu New
York oity. Columbus has not progressed
sufficiently to do these things up us
quiokly. The article we clip from Har
per's Magazine for October : “The fire
men spring out of their bed simultane
ously,without loosing a tenth of a second
in hesitation or surprise; ten pairs of legs
are simultaneously thrust into the trous
ers by the bedside, and two hitchea pull
on both trousers and boots. The trousers
close upon the hips, bo that no timo is
lost with Buspenders or belts, and the
miraculous toilet iB complete, while I
stand oonfused by the distressing sud
denness of things. Tho noise iu the
lower room is as though the foundations
of the building were being blasted by
dynamite. The bell is still striking, re
peating the signal five times over, and
the last fireman iB half way down
stairs before I can recover myself
and hastily follow him. Below stairs the
horses are hitched to the engine, the
driver is on tho box, the furnace is light
ed, the men have tukeu their preoanous
positions on the tender, the doors leading
to the street are wide open, and one min-
ute has not expired since the first stroke
of the bell! The engiueer taps mo on
the shoulder and orders me into a placo
on the narrow platform behind the en
gine. “Hold on for your life 1” The ad
vice is soarcely in my ear when the horses
plunge forward and the maohiue rolls off
the smooth floor of the station on to the
cobble stones of the street, whioh seem to
fly out of their beds in the rebound of the
wheels. The excitement bewilders; the
stores and houses aloug the route are in
distinct; for a moment our feet are shaken
from uuder us as we sharply turn a cor
ner; then a greater eaBe in motion tells us
that we have left tho cobble stone or Bel
gian pavement for asphalt or macadam;
the tremulous Auger of the steam gauge
indicates a higher and higher pressure;
the furnace blazes with iuorensiug vehe
mence, and the smoko Btadk emits dense
wreaths of mingled smoke and sparks,
which are blown back upou us aud inclose
us in their suffocating blackness. The
experience is thrilling beyond measure to
a novice, and the absorbed expression of
the men who have been used to the thing
for years shows that it also has some ol-
fed upon them. The engiuo stops ub
ruptly in front of the building out of
which some smoko is drifting; the hose
uncoiled from the tender, a hydrant is
tapped,and in less than 5 minutes after the
first stroke of alarm at the station a stream
of water is thrown upon the lire by tho
engine, whioh gasps for breath, apparent
ly, at the haste. Within those five min
utes twelve or thirteeu men have been
aroused from a sound sleep and have
dressed themselves, three horses have
been taken out of a stable and attached
to vehicles, aud the vehicles and
men have travolt d five blocks.
But if one should Hpeak to the
men about it, they would deprecate ad
miration. During tho first visit of the
Grand Duke Alexis to New York an alarm
of fire was sounded at the Clarendon Ho
tel, in Fourth avenue, and u stream of
water was turned upon the building by
an engine within two minutes and tbirt]'-
fivo seconds, the engine having been
manned and brought four blocks iu the
meantime. It is not an unusual thing for the
engine to be out and on its way to a lire
within forty seconds of tho moment when
the bell first strikes. As soon as they re
turn to the station, no matter how tired
they may be, the engine is restored to its
original condition of brilliancy, the horses
are groomed, the hurness is washed with
oastile soap, the hose is readjusted on the
tender, and an hour afterward, or less,
the company is frilly prepared to answer
another alarm. Each man places his hat
and his coat on his seat on the tender, and
puts them on after ho has started for the
fire; he also has a particular place and a
particular duty assigned to him in hitch
ing up the horses, which is done by elec
tric snaps, and in getting the engine out
of the house, the entire performance of
ten consuming no more than ten seconds.”
A HUNTER’S STOItY.
CONE TO PIECES!
That's What has Beoome of the Radi
cal Party in Georgia.
THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE DISSOLVES THE
ORGANIZATION, AND THE PARTY FALLS
INTO CRUMD9.
Atlanta Constitution.]
A few members of tho State Central
Committee of the Republican party met
iu this oity on Wednesday. There was a
sharp wrangle iu the committee rooms,
and then there was an adjournment. Mr.
John Conley, with some exultation, dis
played the following resolution as tho
work of the committee:
“Resolved, That the chairmanship of
this committee is hereby vacated and the
committee itself dissolved.”
WITHOUT HEAD OR TAIL.
This resolution of course disbands the
Republican paViy of Georgia. It is now
without head or tail. It will never go
into another campuign and never make
another struggle. The resolution was
passed by u vote of Heveu to two. Messrs.
Markham, Noroross and Conley voted for
it, with four negroes, we belu ve Bryant,
the ohairman of the oommitte, voted
against the resolution, being supported by
Pledger, a colored member of grout
shrewdness.
The passage of the resolution oreated
some considerable exoitoment among the
Republicans. The feeling, as far as we
could learn, was against the disbandment.
It was freely said that this couise was
adopted as a last resort to get rid of Bry
ant , between whom aud Blodgett, Conley
& Co., there has been a bitter feud. Sev
eral attempts have been made to turn out
BryADt, the most of which failed, until
it was resolved to dissolve the committee
itself.
WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT.
The members of tho party who do not
approve of the aotion of the committee
claim that there was not a quorum pres
ent at the meeting that dissolved the com
mittee. The committee consists of sev
enty members. Only nine were present.
It is held that tho action of these nine
men is not authoritative.
Commissioner Buck says : “It is no
more binding than if you and I and
another man were to get together aud
pass a resolution. It binds nobody. It
was merely an attempt to sit down on
Bryant.” Mr. Buok was considerably ex
cited, but did not say whether or not he
thought the disbanding policy wus wise
or not.
Marshal Bmyth says : “I do not think
the few men who met could be consider
ed a quorum—though I do not know the
rules upou that subject. I do not ap
prove of the oourse taken by the gentle
men who met. I do not believe in giving
up the organization. I am a member of
tbe committee but did not ntteud, ah I mu
a Federal officer,aud the President's orders
were that no official shall atteud political
meetings. I am not uu American citizen
to that extant. I understand that ns soon
Bryant saw how few members of the
oommittee were present, he at onoo va
cated tho chair, aud declared that there
was no meeting of the committee. I hoar
that Mr. Noroross was then called to the
ohair, and tbe work went ou.
WHAT OOL. FARROW HAB TO HAY.
Col. Farrow said: “It is claimod that
there was no quorum of the oommittee
present. 1 am not certuiu about this.
Iu our lust oommittee we passed a resolu
tion declaring niuo members a quorum.
No such resolution has been passed
by this committee; and nouo wus pass
ed by the Convention that offered it. By
the common law it is held that those vo
ters who can vote and do not vote, are
voted for by those who* do. About
half of tho committee is disfranchised by
the President’s civil service order. I do
not approve of the action of tho commit
tee in disbanding. We are just upon tho
briuk of a campaign involving the new
Constitution, an issue on which the Dem
ocrats were divided, and we should keep
our party well in hand. That is my idea
about it, though of oourse, (smiliug) the
President’s order has put mo out of pol
itics.”
MR. CONLEY ON THE SITUATION.
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF WOLVES.
A modern Munobauson writes as fol
lows : Yes, I was a trapper and a scout
for thirty years, and during that time 1
tramped nearly all of the great North
west. At tho time I was just speaking of
I was guiding a captain of the army to
St. Louis from Fort Laramie iu the dead
of winter. The oaptain afterward be
came a great general, and is known all
over the Union, they say. Wo had got
short of meat, and I was led several miles
out of the way to get a deer that day,
when it beoome night we were obliged to
camp out for the first time on our jour
ney. We selected a spot sheltered by a
huge rock that had a shallow cave at the
base, We collected u big pile of brush
and built a line of camp fires in front of
the oave to scare away the wolves, who
were already beginning to howl around
us. The captain watched the first part of
the night to keep the fires bright. I wus
fearfully sleepy and cold when the cap
tain awoke me and took my place in tho
blankets.
From the heat of I ho fire,or my fatigue,
or some other cause, I grew sleepy. I
struggled against the feeling, but must
finally have fullou asleop, for I awoke
next morning terribly cold, with the hue
of tire broken in front of me, and two
eyes of fire glaring into rniuo. It was a
olf. I grusped my knife and prepared
for his assault. It came. I succeeded in
killing him, and lifting his carcass high
the air, Threw it out iufo the darkness.
A terrible growling, aud I kuew that he
was being eaten by his family and friends.
Before I bad time to turn round another
of the pack came creeping into my bro
ken line. I served him as I had done the
first, and with tho same result. Fourteen
times did I kill a wolf and throw him out
to be eaten by his hungry chums. Thon
there was a respite of from fifteen to
twenty minutes, during which the dawn
oame on, and 1 snw through the twilight
a hungry wolf slink away into the farther
wilds. He bad eaten the whole pack !

Conkling calls Curtis a “lady’s maga
zine. "
Mr. John Conley says: “The mooting
was a legitimate one in every sense of the
word.
It has been the rule for eight years in
otir Republican organization that nine
members of the oommitteo constituted a
quorum; in fact that whoever attended,
after a fair call, was the oommittee. If
Bryant holds that it was uot a fair quo
rum why didn’t he withdraw? lie staid
and urged the question, and then voted
against tho resolution. Besides this there
are only twenty-nine members of the
committee capab e ot voting. The com
m'lteo has 70 member . There are 2f
disqualified, because they are. Federal
office holders. Two members have left
the State and one is dead. There were
twelve present at our meeting—over a
third of the acting committee, aud a quo
rum of course.”
“Why did you dissolve the commit
tee ?”
“Because there was no use iu holding
on. Tbe Republican party can do noth
ing iu Georgia. And then we were not
willing to continue any organization of
which Bryant is the bead. He is not fit
for tho position, and we determined he
should uot hold it.”
“Will your party ever bold another

TRIAL OF HARDIN.
THE NOTED DK8PERADO CONVICTED OF THE
MURDER OF WEBB AT COMANCHE, AND
GIVEN TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN
ITENTIARY.
Special Uorro8pon<lonce Galvoston News.]
Comanche, Texas, Oot. 7, 1877.
The trial of John Wesley Hardin, the
ohampiou desperado aud one of the most
noted personages in Texas, is over, and
the intense excitement which prevailed
throughout this oounty during last week
is subsiding. The trial occupied two
days—Friday and Saturday—aud a good
portion of each night, and was attended
by the largest body of spectators, per-
hapn, that has over been assembled in
this county upon n similar occasion.
Friday morning, immediately after
court was opened, the case again*t John
Wesley Hardin was called, and the State’s
attorney announced ready for trial, and
somewhat to the surprise of everybody
but themselves aud their olient, Hardin’s
counsel made the same announcement.
The prisoner was thon arraigned, and iu
response to the reading of the indictment
responded “Not guilty.” Tho indictment
ehurged'Johu Wesley Hardin aud James
Taylor with having murdered Charles
Webb, in Oomanoho county, on the 26th
day of May, 1874. More than half tho
day was spent iu obtaining a jury, but it
is a remarkable fact that but eight per
emptory challenges wore mode by tbe
prisoner’s counsel aad but four by tbe
proseoutiug attorneys, and yet it is doubt
ful if a fairer or more impartial jury could
have been found in any eouuty in tbe
State to try John Wesley llardiu.
The substaneo of testimony was, that
Hardin and others of bis party bad been
beard to utter threats against tbe deceased
—his brother having remarked, when a
party of them were together, that “We
will get awuy with them (Webb aud
others) at the proper time atui place. Ou
tbe day of Webb’s death llardiu, Taylor
aud others of tho party bad been bolding
private conversation, and that Hardin
accused Taylor of haviug “gone buck
upon him” iu failing to bo present at a
place where, as Hardin remarked, “You
knew I expected a difficulty.” A few
momeuts before tbe killing of Webb,
Hardin and Taylor were standing near a
saloon, with other parlies, and looking
down the street, saw Webb approaching
them. He turned to Taylor and re
marked, “Did you ever soe anything
working up finer in your life ? ’ Webb
came ou uud started to go into the saloon,
passing near Hardin. The latter detained
him, unking him if he was not tbe Sheriff
of Brown conuty. Webb replied, “No, I
am tbe Deputy Sheriff.” Ilardin then
said, “I understand you have
papers for me.” Webb respond*
ed that be did not know him.
Hardin thon said, “I am that d—d despe
rado, John Wesley llardiu. Now yon
know me.” Webb then informed him
that he bad no papers f;>r him. Hardin
demanded to know what Webb held in
hand. Tbe latter exhibited bis baud,
which be bold nothing but a cigar. Har
din tbeu said : “I have heard that yon
said that John Carnes, tbe Sheriff of this
county, iH no man and no sheriff ” This
Webb also denied. At this time Judge
Thurmond, of Brownwood, who was
standing iu tho street, called to Webb,
saying, “come hero Charlie,” at whioh
llardiu turned to Thurmond, saying,
“you go on ; wo nrn attending to Charley
now.” Webb started to go to Thurmond,
but was again detained by llardiu, who
remarked : “You are not going away
from mo in that way ; Webb then step
ped back,remarking: “No, G—dd—n you,
I am not afraid of you,” and drawing his
pistol at the same timo. The pistol fired
aooidental'y ns ho drew it from the scab
bard, aud Hardin, Taylor and Dixon flrod
at the same time, their bulls taking effect,
Webb falling to tho ground. Webb fired
one shot after ho fell, when Taylor ad
vanced upon him and shot him again,
killing him iuntnutly.
Hardin presented an indifferent, fear
less countenance while tho above testi
mony was being given, aud when one
important witness was ou the stand he
turned to him nnd gazed steadily in bi»
face, with the evident purpose of looking
him out of countenance.
The argument of oounsol closed about
8 o’clock Saturday night, and after tho
Judge had delivered his fair and able
charge, the jury retired. They remained
out about an hour and a half, when it was
announced that they had agreed upon a vo~-
dict, and shortly afterward they returned
tho following verdict:
We tho jury find the defendant guilty
of murder in the second degree, and as
sess his punishment at confinement in tho
penitentiary at hard labor for twenty five
years.
D. L Dodds, Foreman.
Hardin was greatly disappointed in this
verdict, but manifested uo feeling in the
court room, having been warned by an
oifioer that such actions on his part might
have an iulltionco on tho crowd present
dangerous to bis safety. He wept bitterly
after ho was returned to jail, and com
plained that tho jury hod been too hurd
upon him.
Great fear was entertained by tho offi
cers that a mob would undertake to lynch
the prisoner, and the fact has since devel
oped that such an organization had really
been formed iQ some of tho western
counties, for the purpose of hanging tho
prisoner if tho jury acquitted him. Tho
jury knew nothing of this, however, and
wore uninfluenced by public sentiment in
deciding upou their verdict.
In a conversation with your correspon
dent, Hardin stated that his trial had been
as fair as ho could expect, considering
tho fact that they were not simply trying
a man charged with crime, but John Wes
ley Hardin. He seemed very grateful for
tho treatment received hero, and stated
that he had no fear of a mob from this
county, but feared tbe people of Brown
and Colemati counties. He indulged in
several fits of weeping, and evidently felt
that tho punishment of death could not
have been much worse than he is to re
coivo.
His counsel tiled a motion for a new
trial, which was argued Sunday, but over
ruled. An appeal has been taken, aud so
tho punishment of John Wesley Hurdin
for tho many crimes with which bo is
charged is not yet certain.
Ho was taken Monday by Sheriff WiN
Hon, aided by twenty Rangers under
Lieut. Reynolds, back to the Travis coun
ty jail, where he was ordered for safe
keeping. His removal has restored our
village to its usual order and quiet.

JOSEPH'S CAPTURE,
ADDITIONAL DETAL8 OF THE FIOHT—GREAT
CREDIT DUE MILES—GALLANT CON-
DUCT OF THE HOSTILES.
Fort Benton, Mont., Oot. 10.—Since
the first battle of Miles with Joseph’s
band, the troops have been holding the
hostiles on a narrow ravine and have pick
ed them off from rifle pits, losing only
four men themselves. Joseph raised the
white flag four times, offering to surrend
er if he might keep his guns. Miles de*
manded an unconditional surrender, and
ou the last day, Joseph raised the flag
again, advanced in front of the lines,
handed bis gun to Miles and shook hands
with him. The remainder of the com*
tnand did the name. Forty wounded In
dians were fouud in the camp. The num
ber of dead is unknown,as all were buried.
The glory of the fight rests with Miles.
The entronohments of the Nez Perces
were ingeniously constructed. Their
bravery was unsurpassed throughout tbe
fight, and they are credited with numer
ous aots of humanity to the wounded
whites.
AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC.
New York, Ootober 1st, 1877.
I have devotod twenty years of patient
study to the Liver and its relations to the
human body, in search of a remedy uhich
would restore it, wheu diseased, to its
normal condition. Tbe result of that la
bor has been the production of
TUTT’S FIVER PILES.
Their popularity han become so extended
aud the demand so great as to induce un
scrupulous parties to counterfeit t* em,
thereby robbing me of the reward, and
the iifllioted of their virtues.
TO CAUTION THE PUBIIC,
and protect them from vile impositions, I
have adopted a new label, whi h bears
my trade-mark and notice of its entry in
the Office of the Librarian of Oongress,
also my signature, thus :
— ■ ■
C-iT To Counterfeit this is forgery.
Before purchasing, examine the label
olosely.
THE GENUINE TUTT’S PILLS
exert a peculiar influence on the system.
Their aotion is prompt, and their good
effects are felt in a few hours. A quar
ter of a century of study of the Liver has
demonstrated that it exerts a greater in
fluence over the system than any other or
gan of the body, aud wheu diseased the
eutire organism is deranged. It is speci
ally for the healing of this vital organ
that I have spent uo many years of toil,
and having found the remedy, which has
provod the greatest boon ever furnished
the nffiioted, shall they be deprived of its
benefits, and a vile imitation imposed up
on them ?
Let the honest people of America see
TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFRAUDED:
Scrutinize the label closely, see that it
hears all the marks above mentioned, and
buy the medicine only from respectable
dealers. It can be fonnd everywhere.
Very respectfully,
tf w. H. TUTT.
