END OF GAPTAIN JACK Details of the Execution at Fort Klamath. FIVE HUNDRED INDIANS PRESENT. ‘Widows of the Murdered Settlers in Lost River, as Spectators. A Perfectly Quiet and Orderly Per- formance of Justice. CAPTAIN JACK LOOKING MISERABLE. The Four Men Die with Indian Stolidity. The Reprieved Prisoners Placed in Front of the Scaffold. Forr Kuamatu, Oregon, Oct. 3, 1873. Shortly after reveille this morning I ac- fompanied Lieutenant Taylor to the guard- house, and after securing the services of Scar- face Charley as an interpreter, we went into the large cell and informed Barncho and Blolux of the commutation of their sentence, Whey did not show the slightest emotion at their escape from the jaws of death, and Barncho simply remarked, ‘It is good.” CAPTAIN JACK AND SCONCHIN fvere in the next cell, and I walked in to see Ehem. Captain Jack was looking very much uulled down, and had evidently not given up all hopes of a reprieve. Somebody asked him for his autograph, and he mechanically made » number of crosses on some sheets of writing {paper that were furnished for the purpose. BOSTON CHARLEY AND BLACK JIM were then brought out from their cells and the blacksmith set to work, and, after knock- ing off the shackles that bound them together, riveted a new set on each man. We were Ehen called back into Captain Jack's cell, as he ‘svished to know what the writing was for, and Ehrough the medium of Boston Charley he was bold it was simply to have some remembrance of his handiwork. He was evidently rather dis- Bppointed, as he still had hopes of being par- @oned. Shortly after eight A. M. the troops wore paraded in front of their quarters, and at balf-past eight A. M. the procession formed in front of the guard house that was to escort them to the gallows. THE HOWLS OF THE WOMEN relatives of the condemned were then dis- tinctly heard as they came from the stockade. ‘The other prisoners—Curley-headed Doctor and the Lost River murderers—were then re- moved from the guard house to the stockade. (At half-past nine the wagon and four horses mere drawn up in front of the guardhouse, and the condemned were brought out. Black Jim got in first, followed by Boston Charley, Sconchin and Captain Jack. The great chief looked.rather sick, and had to be helped into the cart. The drums then rolled out the fun- eral march, and the procession moved ON TO THE GALLOWs. Whe cavalry led, with the infantry on guard around the wagon. At ten minutes to ten the ‘wagon halted behind the scaffold and they got tout, Boston Charley and Black Jim mounted the stairs first and were placed on the left hand wide of the platform, facing north. Captain Jack came up next and was evidently very weak, requiring assistance to get up, and Sconchin game last. Captain Jack took the position on tthe extreme right, with Sconchin next, Black Jim next and Boston Charley on the extreme Jeft. They were then all seated, and the four men on duty proceeded to pinion their arms pnd legs. The latter were fastened just above the knees. Captain Jack wore a striped linen shirt and a pair of gray pants. Sconchin wore p dark blue shirtand army pants, and both Black Jim and Boston Charley were in the sol- Wiers’ clothes they had stripped from the bodies Df those killed during the war. A company of cavalry and infantry were drawn up in the front of the square, and s company of in- fantry and light battery artillery occupied the fight of the square, About FIVE HUNDRED KLAMATHS then came up, led by their chiefs, and squat- ted on the ground at the north side of the bquare. Mrs. Body and her daughter, and the widows of some of the settlers murdered on Lost River, occupied a prominent position on the right, They sat on the front seat of a high wagon, At five minutes past ten A. M. Colonel Hoge, who was acting as provost marshal, walked behind the prisoners and inspected the strength of their pinions. Oliver Applegate and Dave Hill, the inter- preters, then explained to the condemned tho sentence and the crimes of which they were found guilty, Lieutenant Colonel Hoge made a FINAL INSPECTION OF THE CONDEMNED fnd then went down the rear stairs of the platform. General Wheaton and the officers of the garrison then formed in line in front of the gallows and the two prisoners Barncho and Slo- lux, whose sentence had been commuted, were slso marched to the front with their backs %o the gallows and facing Lieutenant Kins- ‘bury, who then procecded to read the charges, NEW YORK and findings of the military commission, tho approval at Washington and the commuta- tion of the sentence in regard to Barncho and Slolux. There were, besides the 500 Klamath Indians, some 100 citizens present. Many of the latter had ridden 200 or 300 miles to wit- ness this execution. THE READING OF THE SENTENCE took up about twelve minutes of the time. ‘The sun was shining brightly on the backs of the condemned, and for a moment there was dead silence, occasionally broken by a wailing from the timber on the right. The Post Chaplain stood with his prayerbook open behind General Wheaton, and Post Surgeon McEllerdery stood on the right of the line. THE CORRESPONDENTS of the different journals represented were scattered around, holding their horses, and ready to start for their ninety-mile ride. There was considerable competition among the newspapers, as there is only one wire at Jacksonville, and the coursers must have a race for it. This despatch will be carried by three men, riding thirty miles, and changing horses every ten miles, and they expect to ride the ninety in seven hours. At fourteen minutes past ten o'clock A. M. the reading of the sentence was concluded, and Colonel Hoge reported to General Wheaton. The Post Chaplain then advanced into the centre of the square, and read an appropriate service for the occasion. THE FOUR CONDEMNED MEN SQUATTED DOWN on their haunches, seated on the solid plat- form, with their feet resting on the hinged part, which was so designed as to fall at the cutting of a single rope. At eighteen minutes past ten Colonel Hoge advanced and mounted the rear steps of the platform, and ata signal the ropes were ad- justed. Private Eugene Anderson put the rope and cap on Captain Jack, Corporal J. H. Killen on Sconchin and private R. Wilton on Boston Charley and Black Jim. Boston Charley and Black Jim then took a drink of water, but both Sconchin and Captain Jack declined. Pri- vate Anderson cut some of Captain Jack's hair off, it was very long and interfered with the rope. Some of Sconchin’s and Black Jim’s hair was also cut. At twenty- one minutes past ten the black caps were ad- justed, the condemned men still cool and col- lected. The four were then stood up and for a few moments everything was perfectly quiet. The condemned, though in instant expectation of death, were PERFECTLY COLLECTED AND QUIET, as and not a muscle moved. At twenty-five min- utes past ten Colonel Hoge, who was leaning on the’back rail of the platform, drupped his handkerchief. Corporal Thomas Ross, of the Twelfth infantry, raised his hatchet, cut the rope, and the four criminals were LAUNCHED INTO ETERNITY. Everything worked perfectly, and the ar- ragements reflect the highest credit on Mr. Fields, the post carpenter, under whose orders the gallows was built. Captain Jack and Black Jim died easily, but Sconchin and Boston Charley both twitched considerably. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. JACKSONVILLE, Oregon, Oct. 3, 1873. At the execution to-day of the Modoc murderers Boston Charley and Black Jim were led on the scaffold first and Sconchin next. They trod on it with apparent indifference, having evidently re- solved to die as bravely as they had lived. Captain Jack went easily up the stairway, but looked wretched and miserable. The manacies had been struck off, but their arms were securely pinioned with cords, At precisely fifteen minutes to ten o'clock A, M. the interpreters, Captain 0. C. Apple- gate and David Hill, explained to the prisoners the nature of the order to be read to them by the Adjatant, and at ten o'clock Adjutant Kingsbury read the order promulgating the sentence of the Commission and the President's order thereon, with the orders of the Secretary of War and the Department Commander in the premises, The two reprieved prisoners, Barncho and Slo- lux, yet stood on the ground in front of the scaf- fold, shackled and under guard, During the reading, the pinioned victims were seated on the platform of the scaffold, with their feet on the drop, listening anxiously, but, of course, understanding not a word of it. The reading occu- pied ten minutes; then the Adjutant read the order and commutation in the case of Barncho and Slolux, and the poor fellows were taken back to the stockade, evidently rejoiced at not ac- companying the others to the happy hunting grounds. The Chaplain then offered an earnest and tervid prayer for the souls of the culprits, which was lis- tened to attentively. At @ quarter past ten o’clock the fatal nooses were placed around their necks, under direction of Colonel Hoge, It was necessary to cut off a little of Captain Jack’s long hair, which was in the way of the rope. Colonel Hoge then bid farewell to the prisoners, and the black caps were placed over the heads of all the culprits, At twenty min- utes past ten o’ciock they stood on the arop, and the rope was cut by the assistant at a signal made with Colonel Hoge’s handkerchief. The bodies swung round and round, Captain Jack and Black Jim apparently dying easily, but Boston Charley and Sconchin suffering ter- rible conyulsions, Boston Charley and Sconchin repeatedly drew up their legs, but the two others seemed to die almost instantly. At twenty-eight minutes past ten their pulses were felt by Colonel Hoge, and as this is being written they are sWing- ing lifeless in the air. As the drop feli with a terribly deadly thug four pgor, wretched human beings fell into eternity, and a half-smothered cry of horror went up from the crowd of over 600 Kiamath indians who witnessed the awful specta- cle. Walls of deep and bitter anguish went up from the stockade where the wives and children of the poor fellows had @ fair view of the shocking ecege, The coMins. Mix \n Aymber, had been placed directly in the rear of the gallows, two of them destined to be unoccupied, as the order commuting the sentences of Barncho and Slolux only arrived at half-past ten o'clock last evening, and preparations had been made for their execution with the others. An application was made this morning to General Wheaton by the Sheriff of Jackson county, Oregon, for the custody of the Indians indicted by the Grand Jury, but was refased, EFFECTS OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. be Heavy Bank Defalcation in lowa— $329,478 “Appropriated” by a President and Cashier. Dusugvs, lows, Oct. 4, 1873, An investigation into the aifairs of the suspended Merchants’ Union Bank by the directors shows that a system of frauds have been perpetrated upon the stockholders and patrons by the officers of the bank, which has never been exceeded in any concern of its size. The amount abstracted from the bank reaches the sum of $829,478; of this amount F, W. H. Sheffleld, the President, has ob- tained $62,188, and Babbage, the Cashier, $267,289. These sums have been abstracted by means of notes and bills by overdrafts, and by direct steals covered by false entries, which latter have been made by ar the books to the amount of $14,000, which is all charged up to Babbage’s account. They represent balances which did not exist, and in other cases were purely fictitious. The di- rectors publish acard in which they promise to make public a statement of the affairs of the bank to-day. They say that every efort will be made to secure all the property possible to cover the amount of the immense frauds and startling de- falcation, and that prompt steps are being taken to realize speedily the greatest amount that can be made out of the property. ... By unanimous vote of a meeting, at which two- thirds of the stockhoiders were represented, the bank bas been put in liquidation and its affairs will be wound up. Contraction of Working Forces in Ohto. CINCINNATI, Oct. 4, 1873, The financial trouble is beginning to show itself in a desire on the part of a number of our manu- facturers to curtail their working force or reduce the time of employés. This is no more due to the troubles of procuring currency here than to the effect they apprehend tho stringency will have on the trade of the interior. A few manufacturers have already reduced their working force, and Others Will follow unless a change comes next week. The Situation in Pittsburg. PITrsEuRG, Pa., Oct. 4, 1873, A meeting of manufacturers of Pittsburg was held this afternoon to take action in reference to the present condition of financial affairs and to determine what course to pursue in regard to the running of their establishments. The following resolutions were adopted :— Resolved, In order that empioy’ and employer may each contribute to the best interests of this community, and relicve our m d institutions in a measure from the excessive drala of currency, we recommend that the manufacturers only make payments not to exceed one-hal! the amount due employ:s each pay day, on and atter this date, until the currency and exchanges of the country assume their normal condition. _ Resolved, By doing this the manutacturer and work- ingwan willco-operate and cach contribute to the best interests of this eommunity, insuring the running of mills and factories, relieving the banks from an excessive drain of currency ‘and ailing in restoring confidence, which alone is needed to give a complete return to our wonted prosperity. The meeting was the largest held here for years, representing about three-fourths of the manufac- turing interests of the cit’, and was harmonious and pointed in its proceedings.

Smrgverort, La., Oct. 4, 1873. The leading physicians here see no reason to change their opinion, tormed the first of the week, that the epidemic 1s on the decrease, both in the number of new cases and in violence. Where there are 60 many cases in different stages of the disease the number of interments will Nuctuate from day today. This week will show A FALLING OFF. All the physicians report only a few patients each that are considered past recovery at this time, There is a less number of new cases reported to-day than any day yet and mostly of a mild type.

Saville, manager of the telegraph, is passing through the crisis well, Many of the deaths of the last few days were in the outskirts o/ the city, where there is still a good deal of SICKNESS AND POVERTY.

A despatch received by Alexander Porter Morse from the Howard Association at Shreveport, dated to-day, says:—Fewer deaths are reported than heretofore, owing to the dimniution of population rather than lack of virulence in the yellow fever. Considerable distress exists among the convales- cents and classes who have been obliged to remain during the epidemic, and, therefore, the pecuniary needs are pressing, ° Cairo in a State of Quarantine. Cano, Ill, Oct. 4, 1873, Yne Mayor has issued a proclamation declaring the city of Cairo ina stute of quarantine against all steamers coming up the Mississippi River. He considers this a necessary precaution since the in- crease of yellow fever at Memphis. A physician will be appointed whose duty it will be to meet the up steamers with a tug two miles below the city and forbid their landing at Cairo, except ona special permit from said physician. No permits will be given where the physician bas reason to be- lieve that the passengers or crew have been ex- posed to yellow fever. ‘The health of the city is improving, and we hear of but one dangerous case of fever in the city now, Quarantine at Little Rock.

About eight o’clock last evening a fire broke out in the extensive oflcloth factory of F. H. Sepley, corner of Murray street and Railroad avenue. ‘The firemen were promptly on hand, but owing to the inflammable character of the goods and mate- rials in the place their efforts were vainly exerted to save it, The entire ouilding, ao four story frame, with three story extension, together with the stock and machinery, were completely destroyed. The buildin; was valued at about $10,000, the stock $40,000, ani the machinery, &c., $10,000 more, making a total of about $60,000. The loss is believed to be covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is not known, though a suspicion prevails that it was the work ofanincendiary.
