KICKAPOO CAUTION. The Efforts to Remove the Indians from Mexico. Report of the Special Commissioners of the United States—Mexican Efforts to Prevent the Exodus—Demands of the Kicka- poos—Kiowas and Comanches on the San Antonio Road. WASHINGTON, July 24, 1873, Colonel H. R. Clum, Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to-day received the following com- munication !rom Messrs. H. M. Atkinson and Thomas G. Williams, Special United States Indian Commissioners to remove the Kickapoos from Mexico to the United States. The letter is dated:— Saragosa, Mexico, July 11, 1873, We have the honor to report that on the 7th Instant tne Indian Chief Cheyum-Ka-Ko and Michael Thomas, our Kic-apoo interpreter, re- turned to Fort Duncan to notify us that the Indian chiefs of the Kickapoo, Pottowattomie, Lipan and Mescalero tribes of Indians were assembied near Remolino awaiting a conierence with the Cominis- sieners. We immediately started for the camp and arrived there on the morning of the 9th instant and held a council with them. There were Rreesnk nearly ail the chiefs of the two tribes rst named, together with the head chief of the Mescaleros, Who was authorized to act for the Lipans. They informed us they had received word from a New Mexican Commissioner that he desired to see their principal chief at Saltillo, and that they had sent one of their chieis there to see what this new Commissioner had to say on the subject of their removal to the United States; that although they would go with us, yet they could not give us a final answer until the return of the Chiel Wa-Pa-Si from Sal- tillo, which would be in a few days. They turtner insisted that they be allowed to go to the Kickapoo eserve, in Kansas, and there consult with the Kansas pertion of their tribe in reier- ence to the selection of their reserva- tion, and be permitted to remain there until the same nad been selected. The head chiefs further desired that, after their arrival in Kan- sas, We would take three or jour of Shem to see the Great Father at Washington and talk with him in relation to their reservation, They also in- sisted on going WITHOUT AN ESCORT OF TROOPS, and wished to go a route far west of all settle- ments until they had passed Texas and reached the Indian Territory. The Mesealero chief did not long remain in the council, but said if they went they wished to go to the reservation on the head Wuse on the Pecos Ay eed Fort eae ton. While POURS Wi session the chie! took a horse belonging Sy a Mexican and leit very unceremoniously, although it was thought ne had only gone to Kemplino to await the termina- tion of our council with the Kickapoos, and would return in the atternoon. The Indians in- formed Colonel stontero, the Mexican commander, that a Mexican living at Remolino, some tour miles distant, had been in their camp the previous day, and told them they wouid all be massacred if they returned to the United States, and, if not massacred, they would be disarmed ana put upon an island and left to starve, Colonel Montero promptly sent an order for his arrest and had him brought to camp, where he was confronted by us. He denied at first making the statement, but finally admitted the tact and acknowledged that he had been to their camp. The President of Saragosa, who was with us, then and there sentenced him to fifteen days, imprisonment, and fined him in addition. On the following day tne chiefs again met us IN COUNCIL AT SARAGOSA, and reiterated their former request and informed us Wa-Pa-Si would return in a few days and in eight days they would meet us again, and if the Chief Wa-Pa-Si received from the Governor and the Commissioner from the city of Mexico a confirma- tion of Colonel Montero’s statement relative to the desire of the Mexican government that they shoula return to the United States that the whole maiter would be concluded and that they would start im. mediately with usto the United States. Should they now Jail to go the iault wili be entirely with THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, for ifthey are in earnest they will confirm Sefior Montero’s statement, and in that event the In- dians will certainly go. The chief Chequam-Ka-Ko and Michael Thomas, the interpreter, who accom- panied us from Kansas, have worked unceasingly and earnestly for our success, and to them and Colo- nel Montero we are chiefly indebted for the pres- ent favorable aspect of matters relative to the object of our mission. From the present con- dition of things we deem our success almost as- sured. We have had the whole resident popula- tion of Santa Rosa, Piedras, Negras, Remolino and other Mexican towns oppo: to the success of our mission, and as rapidly as one obstacle was removed another has arisen; yet we trust no further serious obsta- cles will present themselves, We here desire to state the recent report of the presence of Kickapoo Indians on the San Antonio road 1s false, as the warriors of that tribe have not been out of Mexico recently, and the Indians referred to by the San Antonio papers are, as we believe, Comanches ana Kiowas from the Indian Territory. ‘BTABBED BY A BOY, PHILADELPHIA, July 24, 1873. Within the past twe weeks serious stabbing cases have been so frequent that the citizens are becoming alarmed. The latest one recorded oc- curred last evening and resulted in the serious wounding, by a knife thrust through the leit tung, ot Charles Hawk by Charles Herron, a mere youth. ‘The wounded man was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, and Herron, with several others arrested upon 4 similar charge, are held for trial. SUICIDE IN A CELL. PHILADELPHIA, July 24, 1873. George Dunn, a negro confined in the Doyles- town Jail, charged with indecent exposure, was" found dead in his cell this morning. He had torn several long strips from his bed with which he made @ noose. Placing this around a staple in the wall, he mounted a chair and, kicking it from be- neath him, strangled to death. BURNING OF A STEAM LAUNDRY, PHILADELPHIA, July 24, 1873. Shortly after one o’clock this morning the Worth- ington steam iaundry, located at 761 South Third street, was discovered to be in flames. The alarm was almost instantly given, but it required fully fifteen minutes belore a steamer put in an appearance, amd by that time the building was al- most gutted by the Names. The firemen succeeded in confining the fire to the butiding. The joss will reach between seven and eight thousand dollars; insured in the Fire Insurance Association for $5,000. OFF FOR OAPE MAY, PHILADELPHIA, July 24, 1873.

How the Philadelphia Ecrceresses * Were Arrested. Three of thé Victims Safely Lodged in the Station House. EXCITEMENT IN TOWN. The Herald Correspondent Faces Them in Court. Mesdames Jennings, Gooman and Wilmarth. A CLEAR CASE. Each Held in the Sum of $1,000 to Answer. One of the “Mediums” Curses Her Betrayer. Denials Met by Conclusive Proof of Guilt. eae Sd BREAKING THE NEWS. The Quaker City First Informed of the Arrests Through the Herald, PHILADELPHIA, July 23, 1873, AsItold you in my former communieation, I went to the ome of one of the city Aldermen to- day, whose duties do not correspond with those of New York Aldermen, but who oceupies precisely the same position as one of our Justices of the Peace, and took my aMdavit concerning the result of my investigation regarding the letters I had written to and the responses I had received from those parties mentioned in my last, so that war- rants were at once issued for the arrest of all of them. Those warrants were served by special offi- cers appointed for this purpose, and, with the ex- ception of one, all were successful in their mission. MRS. WILMARTH FIRST ARRESTED. OMficer Rowland proceeved to the house of Madame Wilmarth, and, when gaining admission, stated the purpose for which he had called, and, without many words, bade her accompany him to the station house. Madame Wilmarth is the ex- ceedingly talkative and versatile creature upon whose dramatic talent I expatiated in my last, and her astonishment at the reading of the warrant knew no bounds. “What ?’’ said she, “I, an abortionist ?” Then, cool, penetrating woman as she was, she immedi- ately suspected me as the cause of her arrest, and broke out in something like the tollowing:—“I will admit that I recetved money from him to tell his fortune, but I assured him that I was no abortion- ist.” At the request of the lady she was led here and there that she might secure bail, but as she failed to do this, she is at this moment lodging in the station house, It will be remembered that this woman's conver- sation with me, while being exceedingly protuse, was very guarded, ard that, while she denied per- forming abortion hersel!, she agreed to take my imaginary young lady in charge and have the act periormed by 4 géntieman fried of hers, who has an office upon Walnut street. Although the lady agreed to see the act fairly through; although every cent of the money was to pass into her hands from mine, and although she would thus become an accomplice in the crime, still I telt sure at the time that to prove aught against her in this respect would indeed be quite a difficult task, Consequently, by way of a joke, I proposed to her to tell my fortune, She did 80, and, in this State, the penalty of this is imprisonment for two years. ‘Thus it is that while Madame Wilmarth positively agreed to nurse the lady during all her triais—to live with her, eat with her and sleep with her in the same bed—so cunningly constructed is the law that I itear she will escape punishment for child murder, and be dealt with only for fortune telling. Her letter to me, however, 1s quite clear, and init she admits that she ‘will do all that she can for me,” so that really believe this confession upon her part must tell heavily against her in the hearing to-morrow. MRS. “DR.” JENNINGS IN THE HANDS OF THE POLICE. Meanwhile two officers detailed to Brandywine street had arrested the woman known among Spiri- tualistic seances as Mrs. Dr. Jennings. At the ring of the bell the lady appeared, and one of the oilicers slowly and deliberately read the warrant, “A warrant!” she cried. “Yes, madam, @ warrant,” ke answered. “Tis a mistake; it cannot be. A warrant! for what?” “For the sale of drugs and medicine to produce abortion.” “Impossible!” she shrieked. Hereupon the other officer read the warrant‘ as the former had done, and bade her make all haste to accompany him. “I never do such things!” she went on, trembling all over like an aspen, and clutching at a chair ior support; “Imever, never have done such things; it is all a foul mistake.” ‘That may all be true,” returned one of the officers, “but it is something with which we have nothing at all to do; 80, come, prepare yourself to go with us.’? “But Lhave @ lecture to deliver to-night,” she went on, wildly—‘a Spiritualistic lecture; my hus- band is there now, and it is time that I was there also. I must go to the. meeting, gentlemen, I must; I am expected and I must surely be there." “You can attend the meeting,” said one of the officers, dryly, ‘by putting up $600 bail for your prompt appearance at the Police Court to-mor- row.” Of course a woman of her standing and character could find no one to go her bail, and after addressing @ hasty note to her husband she went with the oficer to the station house. About one hour after this HER HUSBAND APPRARED at the headquarters of the police and desired to get a note trom Captain Hines which would admit him to his wife’s cell, that he might have a mo- ment’s conversation with her. His recuest was granted. He was an old man, with gray lair and a white beard; an imbecile in inteliigence, and de- void of ordinary common sense, fearfully nervous | and confused, and, in a word, was just such @ weak, silly and maudlin individual as you always see holding @ Conspicuous place in every Spirit- ualistic gathering, no matter where you happen to stumble upon it, MRS, KUPP NON BST. While all this was going on two other officers had gone to the house of Mrs. Kupp, the procuress, and these were the two who fatled in their mission. It will be remembered that Mrs, Kupp was the coarse and vulgar woman who came to interview me from the washtub, who had in the letter which I now hold directly agreed to do all that Iasked of her, but who, upon confronting me, positively refused to keep her word. A stupid driver, instead of coming to & halt at the corner below, as directed, drove me directly to her dour. Par- ties who ,visit this woman are not accus- tomed to come in @ hack as handsome as the one I was forced to use, and I felt all the while during the interview that she was (errbly sus- Pictous of me, and was not at ail surprised when she refuged to act as 1 had inferred from her letter ‘iat she would, All that she would do was to tell me the Of two parties, one a man and one & rely aoe = many years conducted a part- Dership business to manage such affairs, and whom she assured me were very efficient. Icould not spoke of “s 2 an? aera ana thougt f edtied at the office of the Mites twice upoti the samé day. I found him absent upon both occasions, Here, then, was a dead-lock for me, and I en- deavored to follow up another policy. For a long time the woman turned the cold shoulder to me, but, finally, upon my whispering money to her, she explained to me, what I dwelt upon in my last, that her business was to bring young parties to- gether by the administration of her own drags, ‘nd finally she agreed to find me a party, for the sum of $5, before the expiration of nine days. SHE FOILS THE OFFICERS. When the two officers called there to-night, al- though they were dressed as civilians, the cunning woman saw through the entire scheme, and at once began her tirade of lies. “Does Mrs. Kupp reside here ?’ was the question, “What Mrs, Kupp ?”’ was her querry, in reply. “Why,” returned one of the oMcers, “Mrs. Kupp the clairvoyant and healing medium.” “Oh! no, she removed from here three weeks ago, and is now residing many miles from here.” What a bitter lie this was; for the woman who uttered it was the very creature I interviewed yes- terday, and her advertisement is in one of the evening papers to-night, The two oMicers suspected the deceit, but as they had not seen me to get @ description of the female, and ag I Pica not there to identify her perdonali ey were absolutely compelled to withdraw and return to headquarters with- out her, She is one of the flthiest and foulest of the gang, and I am only too sorry that when the officers returned the hour was so late that I could not go over the ground again with them, and by my indentification secure her arrest, 5 “MME, GOOMAN'? BROUGHT IN, Officer Joyce succeeded in bringing in Mme. Goo- man, of No. 2 Slauson street, one of the most de- graded and unclean hags you ever saw, so that all Parties mentioned yesterday, with a single excep- tion, are now lamenting their hard fate in close and solitary confinement, under the vigilance of a strong and efficient police. They are a motley throng--Jennings, with her pale face, bloodshot eyes and firey red hair—one of your female Uriah Heeps, always so humble, and one who drawls out each word until it isa yard long; then Wilmarth, of theatrical and melodramatic temperament, Jen- nings’ counterpart in every particular, being tat, fair and forty, bright, lively, and merry as @ cricket—a woman who talks so fast that you can- not understand her, and a woman, by the way, whom, we believe, would be an ornament, as far as conversational powers and versatility are con- cerned, among any order of society in which she should happen to be thrown; @ real lively, sparkling grass widow, the mother of as lovely a daughter as you would meet in a fortnight’s jour- ney, but, withal, a fortune-teller and an abor- tionist. Then comes Mme. Gooman, the great healing medium, a graduate from the ofice of a French physician, as she claims, but in reality a quack, humbug and hag, All that the police have brougnt in thus far illustrate different grades of crime, and are suMicient for the Court to make an example of To-morrow afternoon [ must appear as the sole witness against them. My evidence is docu- mentary, being confessions made over their own signatures, so that the hearing will be of short du- ration. THE CITY SURPRISED. The Herald Opening the Eyes of the People—The Prisoners in Court and the Hearing—$1,000 Bail in Each Case. PHILADELPHIA, July 24—3 P. M. The hearing of the abortionists arrested last night was given at two o’clock this afternoon, and until the arrival of the early train, carrying the HERALD with it, not one of the local journals had the faintest idea that any extraordinary arrests had been made. At seven o’clock this morning the HERALD was everywhere, and all the local re- porters thronged the police office to learn trom the Captain the latest developments of the affair, but the Captain could give them no information apart from the item which they had already seen in the columns of this journal, The excitement throughout the city was very marked, and at the time appointed for the hearing the ca- pacious court room was crowded with people and the steps outside were black with human forms. I was assured that no such crowd had ever been assembled to hear any former case, and when your correspondent’s name was called a silence, like that of death, fell upon the audience, THE HERALD COMMISSIONER ON THE STAND. Alderman Beitier sat upon the bench, and, as my name was called, I approached the witness stand and took my oath. A copy of the affidavit which L had drawn up was beiore him, and I was called upon to state the gist ofmy communication to Mme, Wilmarth, Around the witness stand all the reporters of the Philadelphia press were assembled, and, at a cautionary word irom them to talk slow, 1 began. lread the letter which she had written to me and I read also her the reply, in which she expressed her wish to a-sist me, and then I gave the result of my interview in pretty mnch the same 1orm as it appeared in to-day’s HERALD. Mrs, Jennings was the next against whom I had appeared, and [ reproduced my letter to her, along with her answer to it. Mrs. Goorman came next, and I disposed of her in pretty much the same manner. The other par- ties the detectives had failed to secure, but we feel sure that ere many days they will all be arraigned. The prisoners were then questioned, and Mrs. Wilmarth said that she had no questions to put, nor did she contradict a single statement which L had made. Ihad calmly and deliberately studied | the case throughout, aud she picked no flaw | whatever in my evidence. THB “MEDIUMS NOT MODERATE. Mrs. Jennings, however, was not so pacific, bot vehemently denounced me in the most bitter terms. She madly asserted that the copy which L had made of her letter was incorrect, and that it was entirely different from tne one she had sent me, Whereupon, at the suggestion of Alderman Beitler, I read her own bona fide communication, which corresponded with my copy, word for word. ‘The lady was surrounded with a disgusting set of her brother and sister Spiritualists, and in answer to their hurried whisperings she abused me from head to foot, Still, that one sentence in her let- ter, “Permit me to say that I understand your case perfectly and can give medicine to meet it,” had its effect upon the crowd and speedily hushed her into silence. MRS. GOORMAN seemed to be in a semi-unconsctous state, so that her questions addressed to me were wholly inco- herent and could not be answered, My evidence was so clear, my proof 80 conclusive, that, after my dismissal, I was congratulated by the chiet officials of the police and invited to the clubroom of the United Press Reporters of Philadelphia, The parties arrested are to appear at Court two weeks hence, and were told that they could “have their bodies’’ upon securing bail to the amount of $1,000. At the time of this writing but one has obtained bail, so that the others wili be obliged to spend the time inter- vening between this and Court in the somewhat uncomfortable apartments of the station house. The Philadelphia papers in the morning will con- tain copies of all my letters and all the details of my business, with which the readers of the HeraLp were made familiar to-day. Thus, for the present, terminates this business, A WORD IN PAVOR OF THE POLICE. Icannot close this letter without speaking a word concerning the local police, for upon their kindness ane regard cowards me I cannot pro- nounce too extravagant praise. Everything that would extend my information, everything that would secure my personal comfort, it bas seemed to be their constant endeavor to supply. Haad my work been such as to render them iiberal pecuniary compensation they could not have shown @ liveyer interest in, 5 ——$<$ $$$" 4 the successful development of my designs.

AN ABORTIONIST CONVICTED. Madame Augustine Convicted for Plying Her Horrible Businoss in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, July 2, 1873, Public interest has been deeply excited here for three days past by the trial of Mme. Augustine,, alias Frazer, on the charge of producing ai abortion upon a young woman named Hattie! Sperling. The chief witness was the victim, wha testified that she was brought here from Spring- fleld in February last by her seducer, a blacksmith,, named Kit Carson, The Madame agreed, to perform the abortion for $50 and taka care of the girl, or for $35 and the girl to take care of herself. The latter arrangement was, made, and the repulsive act was performed. The foetus was thrown into a vault where it was found three months afterwards by the Coroner, The girl was sent to the Cincinnatt Hospital, where her horrible story was first told tothe attendant physician. The arrest ol the abortionist tollowed, and she was commltied, to jail to await her trial, which has just terminate ; after three days of excitement and tll-concealod’ indignation on the part of the densely crowded court roem, ‘The defence relied mainly upon the obaeatity of the law in defining the term pregnancy with a quick child, holding to the construction that there could be no death, and therefore no abortion, be- cause there was no evidence of life or quickening. This was completeiy demolished by the prose tion, which quoted Draper, of New York, to show that lite commenced with conception, with the formation of tne cell. The jury was only absent twenty minutes and brought in @ unanimous verdict ot guilty.
