WASnf#QTO?r, Dec. 2D. A spirit of lawless
ness has taken n of the young Ducks
of the r|»qy«m»a* and Ara -aLoea There is
very little*talk, but a gt> -1 tital of imeaftiiiea*
Is felt about it attiring on? Ys ■ f the Interior
Department Th© tiu , • daasud a**
“wild.” They have prugn • i far enough
toward <*ivi!ization to have acquired mot of
the vl\ n vntriJut any of the v iriuos of that
advanced state Thus far the depreda ions
have been of such a Character that the De
partment people are pnizlod to know just
what to do. A case such a* i nppened awhile
ai?" can be dealt with. On rtvuiar days the
hea ls of families cow© in a., the agent ap
portions to those who puts, at themselves the
beeves in tend »ni for tin* whoi« tribe. One of
these troublesome bucks aw-Had for his
meat several days after the <ii> button.
’BEEF OH BLOOD.”
The agent, fell back ou the rule and told
him his sluire had already b-eu given -lit.
There was a leveled Winchester and a hur
ried surrender of a beef steer, and then, as
toon as the agent could get oi# of the tem
porary <hnf Hiraiisinent, h ■ seat soldiers after
the bad Indian and made the proper show of
authority, spell an Install as this, how
ever, is rare. The cattlemen un* generally
the sufferers There are on the reservation
1,000 of these bucks, who an bolter armed
and equipped than any like number of
men in the country. Scores of them are
seen by the agent on lelivory days,
but as they wquit meat they go
out and shoot down hooves from
the herds at pasture on th «se nulitens of acres
which have been leased. One tattle com- ;
pany has already suffer**! losses in this way !
to an extent of over #loo.'*lo. The attitude
of the Department on these Cheyenne and
A-rajiahoe leases is that of n< interference. 1
A thorough policing of the re--rvation with
troops would cheek the trouble, hut this
would be so clearly in the in’, i tor the cat
tlemen who hold the leases that the Heeretary
cannot see the way clear to do it. The cattle- j
men are already looked upon with envy as
enjoying great privileges and advantages un- j
der their cheap leases, and they do not feel
that it is w.se for them to make any outcry i
over the course of the Indians, although tlieae
leases are cutting in heavily on the profits of !
the business. It. seems as if the Indians must
realize the peculiar relations l.etw ,n the
Orovemment and cattlemen, for they are, ns
a rule, very careful to pick out the hitter to
prey upon.
A BOLD OUTRAGE.
It has not been long since a j*arty of them
•topped a ranch-wagon traingoing down with
lupplies, and, under the pretense that they
wanted meat, they killed nine bead of oxen
Some choice portion* were taken Mum the
carcasses, and they were then left where they
fell. The worst feature of this instance was
that the leader of the band was one of the ed
ucated Indian* from the school at Carlisle.
The bucks are careful not to hurt person*, but
they keep the cattle men in a stale of mind
which prompts frequent gifts of tobacco, tfr*3-
irniK, and, it is feared, fir. water. These
present* are very much like forced levies.
Mr. Dyer, the agent ot the tribes, who fears
;hat this spirit may carry the Indians much
□croud their lawless acts of th j•••»*.• cut, las
been here consulting with the Se rotary, but
the latter does not feel that the time bos yet
?ome for resorting to vigor, w- measur -> with
the marauder-. lathe exa• Uion of the
witnesses summoned to appear before the
Senate Committee there will come a pretty
complete uncovering of Che trials th-* cattle
men arc experiencing with the l doyennes and
Arapahoe#.
THE LABOR BUREAU.

is'd by Congress in June to b<- created has
a- t yet been organized, owing wholly to the
neglect or refusal of the Presidoin Lomu!:©

be the merit of the various applicant s for this
position, there is no single matter which has
caused greater indignation among Congress
man than the President's extraordinary delay
In organizing this bureau A prominent Beu

In the bureau, -a> that h » has

There probably has seldom b en o great a
contest for a minor offee as for this one The

candidate, and it ia reported even that the
itruggle for the office was so keen that once
In the Cabinet the President was obliged to
itate that he had not interfered in the selec
tion of these minor appointments in the de
partments during his administration, and
that he should not begin with Mr. Teller, yet
the commission which was made out for Mr.
Teller's man has been withheld. The Presi
dent seems to have wavered in his choice be
tween the selection of one of a cla-o whom
he at heart and privately has characterized
as almost Communists, and the other class
who border somewhat upon the do trinaires.
Drunk fn the Pulpit.
Philadelphia, Dec. 29. —The recent ap
pearance of Rev. B. Crawford before the altar
of the Episcopal Hospital in an intoxicated
condition shucked the congregation and his
resignation and departure from the city were
the subject of much talk in Kensington The
facts were hushed up, but the announcement
j* now made that Bishop Btevens has signed
an official document deposing Mr. Crawford
from he ministry On the Sunday in ques
tion on reading the prayers Mr. Crawford
stumbled and stammered When he left the
altar to :uake his way to the pulpit, the super
intendent of the hospital hastened after him.
The congregation writed for the sermon, but
In vain. A few n/inutes passed and Mr.
Crawford, looking tery much agitated, came
back from the vestry, and omitting the ser
mon. pronounced the benediction. That
night he wrote his resignation.

to l*e purchasing with considerable confidence
at pr out current rates, and it is evident
..at we have seen the turning-point in the

fi.ily sustained, and the tendency is to
igher prices f«»r deuirable fleeces. The l>e
i' is also very general that with the
advent of the new year an improvement
in business will be realized, but this
improvement is likely to be slow
ad gradual. The demand for washed
es has been fair and prices are well sus
llined. The stock on hand is held with con
siderable firmness, aud some desirable lots
aid not be bought except at an advance on

Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 29. —One of the bold
st cases of body-snatching that have been
recordd for some time past has just taken
pin eat Wilton, on the line of the Grand
Trim:. Railway sixteen miles west of Kings
ton. Th cay after the remains of John
Chatterton had been placed in the vault two
young men went to the man in charge of the
vault, and representing themselves as rela
tives of the deceased said they had received
information that the medical students at the
Kington University had planned to steal the
body and they wanted to get it away for burial
. where. One of the young men, with tears
i i his eyes, depicted the anxiety of the rela
tives of the deceased and the determination
of the goulish students, who would resort to
any means, even gunpowder or dynamite, to
grt jjossession of the coveted subject. At
I* ngth the caretaker allowed his scruples to
overcome by hi* sympathies, and made an
ippointment to give the casket into the pos
segbio.i of the friends after dark. At th© ap
pc ntel hour the two young men returned
with four other friends, and the body wa*
handed over to them. The young men, it
was afterward discovered, were the medical
■ tU'Ur.t.s whom they had cautioned the ten
der-heartedjearetaker against and had adopted
this clever ruse to secure the body. Chaiter
tun had died of a very peculiar disease which
hud puzzi d the physicians, and consequently
was a good subject for the dissecting-table.
No trace of the body hes been found.

The Panic Caused by a Bursting
Steam Heating Pipe.

pled to Death by Their
Oogßpmnlon#.
New York, Use - m a narrow five
story brick building at No. 6 Rlvington
street, are YV. Duke, Bon & Co., manufac
turers of cigarettes. Upon the fii*st floor the
tobacco is moistened; the second i» a vast
packing room, aud in the third, fourth and
fifth stories the cigarettes are maile by about
8(X» giri*. At 3 o’clock (Saturday afteruoi n
the steam heating pip on the third floor
burst. Ouo of tho girls hearing the noise au»l
seeing the white steam puffing out, supposed
that the building was on fire. Bhe rushed
toward the door screaming, “Get out, girls,
the factory is on lire. ” The other girls fol
lowed her, also screaming, and in half a
minute the gins ou the fourth
and fifth floors abandoned their
work, and rushed toward the narrow stair
case. Among the first to reach the Blau*
were Rachael Goldsmith, of 28* Divmiou
street, and Annie Phillips, of 154 West
Eighteenth street. They gros|>ed the balus
trade anti started to descend, when the pres
sure of the frightened crowd behind made
them lose their balance. Carried off fcheii
feet by the rush, the two foremost girls tVi
to the second floor and lay helpless, whbt
their screeching, panic stricken conn id©*.*
literally trampled them under foo£ Vainly
Foreman Wright and the clerk from the office
assured the girls that there was no dag
ger The uncontrollable young women
choked up the stairs and tumbled or-or
each other tearing-their clot hog in their
efforts to escape, Many of them who hwi
been the rear of tiie building run
upon the little iron balconies of the fire es-
G&pea and reached the ground by the narrow
ladders Bareheaded and lmrearmed- for
not one of them had flopped for hat or
shawl—the girl* ran into the street, or .
grouped themselves in the rear yard, so glad
to have escaped an imaginary danger, that
they did not regard the cold. In a few
minutes the building was emptied. Every !
one left except Annie Phillips and Rachel
Goldsmith, who lay moaning where they
had fallen. They wore assisted down stairs
and immediately token home. Both were
tevorely bruised, and Annie's left arm was so
injured that she will not be able to work for
some time. Rachel’s injuries were mostly in
the back, although her head is also badly
hurt She seemed dazed when a reporter
saw her at her homo.
“I can not tell just how it happened,” she
said. “There was no cry of lire that I heard,
but I saw the other girls running toward
the door, and 1 supposed that something ter
rible must l»e the matter and 1 ran. After I
got into the street I heard that one of the
steam pipes burst, and .that really there had
been nothing for us to be afraid of. This is
the first day l worked iu tho factory.”
Several other girls wore more or less
bruised, but they did not report themselvos
to the police. Surprise was expressed by the
neighbors that considering the excitement
and the crush, no one was killod or even
seriously injured. The shrieks of the fright
ened girl* sounded shrill through the street
and soon a multitude blocked up tho door
way. Women were in the majority, and
they joined their cries to those of their
friends on th© stairs, making a din that was
heard several blocks away. Tho panic
would have been greatly increased ha-1 it not
been for the presence of mind of a workman
on tho sidewalk. Several men thought that a
fire was really under way and made a dash for
the fire alarm box. Undoubtedly the noise
of rattling enginea would have completed the
panic and caused several girls to bo trampled
to death. The workman stopped the men
who would have unwittingly added to the
confusion. When the first scare was over
and the girls who thronged the lower hall
ways, street and yard, were undecided
whether to flee or go to work, the question
was settled by a brave girl who stood half way
down the stairs She called to her working
Bister* to ret urn to their duties and made all
efforts to turn the tide upwards. In this she
was successful and the panic was nipped be
fore further injury was done.

BAD MANAGEMENT
At the lYew Orleans Ex position—
Spanish Bull Fight#.
New Orleans, Dec. 29. Some disaj>-
pointmont is felt at the unfinished condition
of the Exposition. Many of the exhibitors
have gone home for the holidays, and the
work on both buildings and grounds has pro
gressed but slowly during the la*t week, so
that the show is not as good as
was anticipated. There has not been a single
picture hung in the Art Hall, though the pic
tores are here; there is as much confusion in
the Alain aud Government Buildings as there
was ten days ago. Exhibits are still coming
iu or waiting to be unloaded. The Mexican
buildings are still unfinished. Nothing but
an armful of crazy quilts is yet to be seen iu
the women’s department. The colored
people’s exhibit is not yet open for inspection,
and alt« gether there is a reprehensible delay
in gifting the Exposition 'vnnplefed end in
good running order. Tho management have
in many things broken faith with ifi* pro.'*
and the public, aud the fact that there is
plenty to see at the Exposition Bhould not
shelter them from the censure they deserve.
As an evidence of mismanagement, take
.the tiouble that has just arisen regarding a
right of way. Magazine street runs, or used
to run to the Exposition grounds, aud directly
through that section of the main building
now used as the machinery extention. The
Expo-in >n management, when they began
work, fenceu in the grounds aud closed the
street, having previously iuducod the Maga
zine •Street Car Company to take a new and
circuitous route. Now citizens begin holding
muss meetings regard (mg their right of pas
sagw through the grounds. The management
gives permission for the use of the road
through the main building for wagons only
on special permit, and at certain hours of tho
day. The citizens are dissatisfied with this
con 'ossion and a committee waits on tho
Mayor, who orders the road opened to the
public. It n absurd to suppose that an expo
sition can be run with a street uot only
through ite grounds, but through it* main
building, and the management is in a quan
dary. Director tf> nerai Burke has managed
to temporarily fix things with the Mayor, and
a sort of compromi ,3 has been patched up
which lea v»the Exposition a! the mercy of a
municipal |>«. a -r no better than the average
| Tim lto\. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago
has been invited to preach at the exposition
Hunday. The weather is cold and un-
I pleasant; a drizzling rain has been falling
most of tho day, with the thermometer rang
ing 40* to 45".
An important piece of news just learned is
that arrangements are being perfected te r
having a series of grand bull fights here din
ing the coming season. As some opposition
is feared, the matter has been kept very se
cret. The tournament will lie exactly similar
to those held in Havana and Mexico. Tl >
Mexican visitors here are at the bottom of the
affair, and are understood to have proposed
and agreed to bring their rnoHfc celebrate I
matadors of the Plaza do Toros to assist at
the perforumncca Fhe fights will, of course,
take place Sundays, and are expected to form
a great attraction during the exposition sea
son.

Knowles was awakened last night with a to
rible pain fn his ear. Almost erased, he wok
up hi* wife and told her something had
crawled into hia ear and was eating its way
through his head. Mr*. Knowles lighted a
lamp and fished for the foreign occupant of
her husband’s ear with a hairpin and a kni

Mr Knowles then dressed himself to go 1-
I,he doctor’s. Then in* wife happened 1
think that certain insects were generally fas

wait until she tried an experiment. She hel
the lamp close to his ear.
“If it’s a snapping bug,’’ she said, “or a
miller it will see the light and come out t"
it.”
In less than a minute Mm Knowles sa - 7
the head of a formidable looking bug thru: t
out of her husband’s ear. The head w 1 ,
quickly followed by a body half an inch lonp
The bug crept out and Mrs Knowles knock© 1
it on the floor. A stream of blood follow© J
the exit ' : the bug from Mr. Knowles eu
Mrs. Knowles stepped on the bug and killed
it. It wuh one of those big snapping bugs
that have their heads hung on hinge* at the
middle of the back, and work them up an 1
down like pile drivers when on dut;
Thanks to his wife’s knowledge of inse< t
habits Mr. Knowles was rescued from the
hug in time to prevent serious consequences.
Lirl A##aiilted by Footpad#.
Springfield, 0., Dec. 29.—-Last night
Mary Cannoy, a young lriah girl hut a few
months in this country, appeared at the door
nf her uncle's house with two gashes in her
throat, cut in the shape of a cross, severing
the wind pipe and just missing the jugular
vein. Medical aid was hastily summoned an 1
the girl’s wounds were dressed. Hhe tells 1
strange story. “I wa* going up Linden av<-
nue,” she said, “when I noticed two young
men walking behind. They followed n;o
some distance, finally caught up with me
arid attempted to force a conver
sation. One of them said: You
have some money. Give it to us.’ They
• then caught hold of me, and while one of
them hold hi* hand over my mouth the other
pulled a l ing off my finger. I felt something
• harp pass across my throat, aud begged them
not to kill me. At that they both left au 1
I walked rapidly away. I know I had been
hurt, and hurried here. I could not cry out,
my throat hurt so.” The girl tells her story
in a straightforward manner. The police
have been unable to discover the young men,
or any trace of them.
