In the District Court this morning Judge James took up again the matter of the con- demnation of square 323 for the post office site. The appointment of the commission to ap- praise the property was the first thing in order. There were present in court Judge Hoge, dis- trict attorney, and his assistant, Mr. Coyle. But few of the property owners or tenants in the square were present, although some were rep- resented by Mr. F. E. Alexander, Leon Tobri- ner, A. 8. Worthington and H.W. Garnett, their counsel, Mr. Coyle called attention tothe reauire- ments of the act. He noted that the appoint- ment of guardians was provided for. By the reading of the act a question was raised as to whether the commission could be appointed before the answers of the guardians were in. Judge James said that the interests of chil- dren should be represented by guardi: Mr. Coyle said that some of the heirs of the Geutner property and Mr. Abert’s children would have to select guardians, and he sug- octet that they could appear in court atl o'clock, ‘This the court agreed to as Mr. Coyle said he would then ask that the appointments be made. ‘The court on application of some of the par- ties interested who had not answered extended the time to five days from Friday last. The number of square feet in the equare is 58,523. The assessed value of the ground is $117,633 or a fraction over $2.01 per foot: as- sessed value of improvements $56,000 or a frac- tion under $2.97 per foot for ground and im- provements, . Additional appearances and answers have been filed as follows: John A, Silence by Leon Tebriner, John W. Cohen by A. B. Duvall, Julius Lansburgh by L. Tobriner, John A. Baker by self. _ At 1:30 o'clock Judge James resumed the con- sideration of the subject and Mr. Coyle pre- sented the petition of the children of W. Stone | Abert for the appointment of a guardian ad litem, and Mr. Randall Hagner the petition of the orphans of John G. Gentner,deceased, who selected their mother as guardian. APPRAISERS APPOINTED. After canvassing a number of names the court said that he would appoint Messra, Joha T. Lenman, John A. Hamilton and B, H. War- der the —— He stated that the selec- tion had been carefully made. ‘The proceedings had been set for today, that all parties interested should be heard, and the court would have heard any who wished to be heard.

The cotton returns for November to the De- partment of Agriculture are county estimates of yield peracre. The consolidation, consider- ing areas, with rates of yield, with correction only of obvious errors, makes the average yield 187 pounds of lint per acre. It is about the | ame as the yield of last year, and better than | the returns of yield last November, which were exceeded by the results of the final investiga- tion. Some of the returns report killing frosts, which did not extend to a large area, on tho southern side of the cotton belt. Much will therefore depend on the weather of November and December, not ouly in perfecting growth. but in saving the crop. Should the season continue favorabie and the views of correspond- ents prove conservative, the result’ may be slightly larger than is here indicated. The quality of lint has been deteriorated by exces- sive rains and injured by discoloration. ‘The estimated yields by states are as follows: Virginia, 168 pounds; “North Carolina, 182; South Carolina, 175; Georgia, lorida, 108; ‘Alubami 5 #ippi, 200; Louisiana, 288; ‘Lexas, 196; Arkansas, 225; Tennessee, 191. ! { F.

THEY WERE BADLY TREATED. What Painted Horse and Eagle Head Say of Their Trip to Europe. Two of the Indian braves who have been in Europ steerage passengers on the Hamburg steamer Augusta Victoria, which arrived in New York They answered to the names of | “Sunk Owa,” or “Painted Horse,” who | nephew of Red Cloud, and *Wambali- “Eagle Head.” They were full-blooded Sioux of the Ogailala band, and they came over with James Marsh, who was advertising agent for the show on the continent, Both braves were without a penny, and their entire possessions consisted of the rough shirts they wore and a railroad ticket each to Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota. ‘Painted Horse” said they were shamefully treated in the Carver-Whitney show, and gave an account of the ill-treatment to Gen. O'Beirne at the barge office, through Rev. Father Crafts, who | acted as interpreter. Substantially “Painted Horse” said: “There were twenty of us when we left New York besides Black Bear's squaw and their three children, and during our travels over Europe we were beaten. kicked and shot at. Dr. Carver shot at Black Bear, but failed to hit him, though he intended to kill him. I tried with four others to communicate with some of Black Bear's relatives in the Baffaulo Bill show in Hamburg. We were locked up in a German prison by the German police, who were sent after us because I objected to being beaten and ill-used. “Dr. Carver fired at me with arevolver in Berlin fifteen days ago, but missed me. After we were locked up by the German polico Carver took all our money away, about $25 each, and did not return it. Our money was not paid regularly and the whites in both shows tried to corrupt the red men. ‘The Indians got | liquor whenever aig { desired. Some of Cary- ers and Cody’s men had a row in Hamburg, but the Indians wore not in 1t. “Three braves were in a dying condition when we left—Bear Necklace, Brave Elk and another. ‘The squaw was also ill and the pa- poose died as we wero leaving.

Gordon, a journalist and politician of Cincinnati, Obio, who died in New York a year ago, have just completed a strange charge laid upon them by their dying father, His last wish was that his body should be cremated and the ashes be interred in the family lot at Milford,a Cincinnati suburb, and that a young elm tree be taken from the yard of his childhood’s happy country home and _ transplanted to the side of the urn containing his ashes, He was passionately fond of nature and in this way he pleased himself with thinking he should live again, his ashes nourishing the tree's new life. This wish was fulfilled, his body being cremated and the dust buried in the family lot at Milford, During last week his sons. Salone and Jack Gordon, went out to the old Gordon homestead, overlooking the Miami River valley at Lomland, and selecting a beautiful elm tree from the play ground of their father's boy- hood, took it to Milford and planted it on his grave. The late journalist was well known in this city, having spent several winters here, and about ten years ago he did a good deal of brilliant work upon the National Republican, soe A CHURCH ON WHEELS. The Novel Car Intended for the Bishop of North Dakota. A novel creation has been completed by the Pullman works, near Chicago, the only church on wheels in the world. It is constructed ac- cording to the ideas of Rev. Wm. D. Walker, Episcopal bishop of the diocese of North Da- kota, and is intended for use in the small vil- lages along the railroads in that section of the country. From each side midway of the two extremes is a slight projection, Gothic in form, which rises to the height of what is known «8 the second deck, This, Bishop Walker says, is for the purpose of giving the car more the appearance of achurch. ‘The car is sixty feet long and ten feet wide. Its interior is finished in oak, after the Gothicstyle. Atone end isa room devoted to the bishop's use. The main body of the car contains a chancel, altar, lectern, baptismal font, a bishop's chair and a cabinet organ, There are seata for seventy people, soe Stole Busts From a Cemetery. That too ingenious person who stole bronze and marble busts from the cemetery of Mont- parnasse, touched them up and sold them as eftigies of famous heroes, statesmen or orators, has at last met with the punishment which his lugubrious labors deserved, says a cablegram from Paris. Moreau, for so the new kind of “resurrection man,” to adopt the phrase of Dickens, is called, came up before the eighth tribunal of police yesterday and was eoon sentenced to three years’ im- prifonment. ‘The singular thefts perpetrated yy Moreau in the cemetery long passed unper- ceived, He was accordingly able to make some money by his dismal and deplorable transuc- tions, and itis considered protuble that many of his transformed busts now adorn not only the humble homesteads of artisans in Paris, but also the libraries and muscums of some provincial towns, On one occasion he is said to have sold the efligy of a worthy professor of the Sorbonne as that of a famous general of the revolution, while on another he passed off the bronze pre- sentment of adeparted grocer a-thatof De- mosthenes. noe ae a Changes « Glacier Shows, In the mountaineering season Court Conncilo Simony, who has reached the age of seventy- seven, ascended a certain point of the Dachstein glacier in the Salzkammergut, says a cable gram from Paris, He carried with him his photographic apparatus and took very good views of the scenery. On the same day in 1840 he had stood upon the same point, He re- membered distinctly what he saw then, and is corroborated by the sketches he took at the time. In 1840 a wall of ice rose sd behind him hiza enough to conceal from his view the gincier ficids and the grand rugged rocks of stone which frame them, At that ume broken ortions of the rocks and detached masses of and still covered with grass proved that the glucier was advancing. A very differ- ent picture meets the eye today. ‘The fields of ice mre seen at a depth of fifty yards at the bottom of a steep descent covered with debris. ‘Lhe further end of the glacier is a precipice with ice overhanging its edge. At the bottom is a lake of dirty-grcen color, at the end of which a fallof water is continually reducing the ice on the glacier, Fifty years ago the lower and the higher part of the glacier formed but one great mass of ice. Herr Simony thinks that before the century is out the glacier will have disappeared entirely to the eye, as tho debris will cover the last remnants of ice which may remain in the cavity. -— see.

Two wise-looking young men met in the billiard room of the Chatham Hotel in Paris the other evening, says Eugene Field in the Chieago News. Both wanted to play a game, but they did not know each other, The elder. Mr. Combe Tennant, made bold to say: “Will you join me ina gume of billiards, sir? My name is Tennant—I'm the brother of the lady who married Mr. Heury M, Stanley. “Thank you, Mr. Tennant,” answered the othe shall be most bappy to joiu rou. My name is Chanler—I'm thé brother of the gen- tleman who married Miss Amelie Rives.” By the way, learn from good source that Mr. and Mrs. Chanler are not as fast friends as could be wished. A ‘inet coolness has arisen between the twain, and tempestuous times are feared. “The trouble with Amelie,” observed one of the family to me not long ago, “isthe same trouble that we find in her lit- erary work. Both of them are full of talent, but neither has ever been properly edited.” Old-Fashioned Watch Chains, Paris Letter in the Jewellers’ Weekly. Among the presents showered on blushing brides this season figures the old-fashioned watch chain, more thana yard long. After many years of suspending watches from chate- laines, from short chains hanging from a —_—___ BILL WEST’S HEAD. . — Tom Starr, the Desperado, Cut It OfF and Got $2,000 tor It. The remarkable carcer of old Tom Starr, the Notorious Cherokee desperado, which has lately appeared in print, recalls an incident in his life, says an Ardmore, L'T., special, the plain- est statement of which sounds like a romance, Biil West was old Tom’s brother-in-law and the most powerful man of his day in the Cherokee nation. A blow from his fist was as deadiy as a Winchester bullet. With this formid- able weapon he kiiled several men, and a law was passed declaring Bill's fist a deadly weapon. Old Tom and Bill had been close companions, but one day they quarreled over | the division’ of the spoils of a plundering ex- peditiou, West struck at Starr, but the wily | savage dodged the blow and ‘at the samo | time deftly placed a long, keen knife blade | between the former's ribs, This was the tragic end of Lill West. At this time there was a reward of $2,000 offered for West’ head and $5,000 for that of Starr. Old Tom | was in need of ready cash and determined to run the risk of losing his own head by trying to secure the reward on that of his brother- law. So, after killing West, he cut off head, put it in a gunny bag and proceeded. to Tahlequah, the capital, where he presented his gory charge to the chief with the proof that it was the right head and demanded the reward. ‘The chicf and the treasurer are both old men and they knew old Tom's They | also kuew that fhe rqward’on West's head was only $2,000, while that for old Tom's was 000, But Starr was there himself a1 business.
