At one o'clock, without any services being neld, this unfortunate man was buried in the cemetery connected with the fort, a matter causing some comment.

Davidson, of tne Tenth cavairy, has forwarded to the General of the Army the report 0! a talk with Asahobe and Asaung, of | the Penne Teth Ka band of Comanches, which is | interesting as showing. the cause of the present | hostility of the Comanches and other tribes. Aiter | some conversation, in which they inquired as to how they were to be treated, Colonel Davidson asked the Indians what tne Comanches had to complain of, and what were the causes of this | general hostility on the part of the Comanches. | ey replied that tne Comanches nad nothing to complain of on the part of the govern- ment agent, or troops, or whites, but that some two Months ago a prophet arose among them, who told them that he bad an interview with the Great | Spirit, who said that the Caddas, Wachitas and other Indians who were adopting the mode of lie of the whites were pong down bill fast in means and popaiation, and the Comanches would do the same if they followed the same road, and the way for them to be again the powerful nation they once were was to go to war and kill off all the white People they could. This, these two chiefs said, | chimed in with the feelings and wishes of the evil- sles of the nation, and the present war is the resi Two More Indian Murders Near Fort | Sill—Settlers Fleeing From Their | Homes.

DISASTERS ON cg Results of the Two Recent Investiga. tions—The Recommendations of the | Inspectors Disregarded, and the Navy Department Hindering Their Work. WASHINGTON, August 7, 1874, It will pe recollected that after the burning of the Wawassett on the Potomac River last sum- mer, by which many lives were lost, a board of local steamboat imspectors was held here, and recommended that legal action be taken against several of the officers of that boat, But no auch roceedings were instituted, and now the two Focat inspectors of the Baltimore district report with reference to the collision recently between the United States steamer Gettysburg and the Lady of the Lake, on the Potomac River, that the pilot in charge of the Lady of the Lake complied with all the rules and regulations for the government of pilots; but they found it im- practicable, alter several efforts on their pare, to procure b evidence {rom the officers of the Get- tysburg who were on duty during the collision, the officers failing to appear beiore them, on the | ground of orders from the Secretary of the Navy to sati on the day the summons was served, and on the return of the Gettysburg the officers declined to Sener without orders from the Secretary of the Navy, and, not deeming tt their duty to pro- cure sanction or consent of the Secretary as to their powers in the preinises, and not desiring tobe brought in contact with the Navy Department, the inspectors concluded to close the investigation. ae neither case was the Steamboat law en- forces FIGHTING IN TENNESSEE, Promiscuous Murders Committed at Somerville During the Continuation of the Riot.

A special despatch from Mason’s Depot says that’ | @ report was received here late this after- | neon of fighting at Somerville, The town is in arms and great excitement prevails. The riot started with a difficulty be- tween Oscar Burton and Paul Reeves, in which the latter was killed. Burton was immediately shot | and killed by Reeves’ brother, a radical candidate | lor Shelitt. This was followed by some one killing the second Reeves, At last accounts the fighting Was still going on. LAWLESSNESS IN THE COAL REGIONS. Bloody Riot Among the Molly Maguires and the Shect Iron Men—The Ring- leaders Arrested. PorrsvIL_e, Pa., August 6, 1874. Tne lawlessness in Schuylkill county increases almost daily, and the citizens are becoming very much alarmed at the continuance of the depreda- tions perpetrated by the organized outlaws. A | few days since a terrible and bloody riot occurred at “Dane's Patch,” near Colorado, this county, be- tween the “Moliy Maguires’’ and the ‘‘sheet Iron | Men,”’ another band of outlaws who ply thetr pro- | feasion of blood and robbery in the coal regions. THY CAUSE OF THR RIOT was a long standing feud. Pistols, Knives, stones | and other murderous weapons were used, and a | man named Gilsay Austin Bradshaw and several others were shot and battered with stones. The excitement was intense in tue fe SEAL a as it was feared that the brigands would engage in a | general carnival o: murder and* robbery. ‘the constabulary of Girardvilie, however, put in an appearance, and, with the assistance of other de- | tachments of police, peace was finally restored, Five of the ringleaders have been arrested, and, | unleas their intiuence 1s too powerful in the re gion, an example will probably be made of them.

A programme combining novelty with real merit was offered at Central Park Garden Wednes- day night, and was interpreted with ex- quisite skill and effective power by the magnificent band over which Mr. Thomas wields the baton. It was tue eighty-fifth con- cert of the summer season, and yet the novel ties In the répertoire of the band are by no means exhausted, The opening work by a French com- poser, Massenet, entitied “Suite,” scenes pit- toresques, was not one likely to become popular or to nold @ place for any length of time in Mr. Thomas’ répertoire, It is tragmentary and ily constracted, and of the four parts, march, ballet, Angelus and Bohemian festival, we could not find @ half dozen bars calculated to arrest attention and admiration, The other novelty, the introduction to “Rosnith oder Domroschen,”’ was exceedingly beautiful, but it bore the unmis- takable impress of Gounod on it, So much ior originality. Strauss’ new waltz, “Wo die Citronen } biubn,” the principal merit of wnich lies in tue | clever scoring, was uiso given. The ever welcome jantasia caprice of Vieuxtemps, wica has ve- | come @ general favorite, was in tue second part of | the programme. ‘The variations in the second theme of this charming work are unadvisedly committed tothe clarinet, which gives them @ coloring injurious to their pristine beauty.

Years nave passed since the Swan of Pesaro gave to the world this immortal work, and its equal Wednesday bight was simply marvellous. The painting of the storm was lifelike.

PHILADELPHIA, August 7, 1874, For six long dreary weeks Mr. Ross has, by his utterances regarding the dreadful contents of the letters in his possession, cast a sombre shadow over every hearth in the land. One million of mothers have been so worked up by the | threatened assault of the kidnapper upon | their homes that their hearts have ached when- ever their little ones were out of their sight for one moment. The assaults upon the mother’s fair name were said to be so cruel and scorching that they caused the blood of any upright citizen to boil with indignation, The threats of ven. geance heaped upon the nelpless child made every father tremble and wonder if he should be the next victim. The furore which has been raised over this case exceeds anything of the kind ever before known in tbe annals of Kidnapping. The murder of the bright little boy would have been forgotten ere this, But this crime cannot pe jorgotten, The people, once aroused tn this mat- ter, supplied the ransom money, and now clamor— @y, demand the child! How do they fod maz ters? WHO 18 TO BLAME? They are assured by the Koss family that the whole city would rise in remonstrance against such outrages as Bre contained in the vast bulk of correspondence, They are told that nothing ro- lating to a motive other than ransom must be considered for @ moment, Tney are asked to believe the whole tory, to the minutest details, on the statement of to accept the theories of a detective bureau which has iatled to develop even the merest clew in six weeks’ time. The representatives of the news- papers which they read are warned not to say anything about the case for dread of deleating jus- tace. The police look at each other and irown when @ citizen even begins to doubt that the crime was the work of professional kidn appers. In short, if Mr. Ross—acting under the advice of the Central Omce I hope— could have had his own way, the people of the country would never have heard of this case ex- cept through the medium of a half dozen posters in each city. The Philadelphia news(?) papers fell into the trap by silly promises, and, no matter | what may be the ultimate end of the great mys- tery, their ability to keep their covenants and at the same time give their readers the news will be severely tested, THE DEMANDS OF THE PRESS. The demand for the publication of these letters | is becoming more and more general Only afew | days can yet intervene before this demand will be upon everybody’s lips. A morning journal of the city, in to-day's issue, regards the subject edi- torially as follows :— When the police first enjoined upon us silence in the Ross case we requested to be furnished with the kid- nappers’ letters, in order to be able to judge whether | the grounds ‘upon which this injunction had | been based were suflicient. —‘ihis request | was refused, trom that moment we pegan to | , and surmise that 'the story of the abduction migtt not be | altogether straight, ‘this surmise bas gained strength every day since, and much of the attention which our reportor{al corps has given to the case has been on the assumption that it was not dealing with a genuine case of, kidnapping tor ransom. This celebrated abduction case begins to look very much like no abduction at all. Mr. or Mrs. Ross may have had some trouble with other parties which those letters would reveal, and which might show that the chila was stolen trom some other motive than that of ran- som. There appears to be no other colorable apology for suppressing them, and this one should not prevail. The interest which thé public has in this case iy based on the assumption that.a bold case of Kidnapping tor ransom has been committed. Were it known thai another mo- in the matver would inevita- bly subside, and no one has @ right to kee; is in- terest tor any other reason than one connected with the public welfare. Mr. Koss has given those letters to the Let the latter now submit thom to the Authorities. ress. it has become a matter ot the utmost importance that the conprnandense should be published, and we trust there will be no more hesitation about thé matter. The above isarefex of popular opinion, The Police succeeded in muzéling the press at the opening 01 this case; but the above clearly shows newspapers will be lield in silence no longer, while it algo indicates the key to which ali future utter- | ances will be attuned. WALTER'S CONTRADICTIONS, As the case stands now the people are confused, | perplexed; pay, dumbiounoded, Yesterday Walter | told one story and to-day he has told another. | What he asserted in his first narrative he contra- | dicts in his second, while in the third | he repudiates the main facts stated in | both tue other two, and conveys an entirely | different impression. First he says the kidna) pers did not stop save to let him out of the car- | riage, and then he says they did. He has relaved {| 80 many things so directly contradiciory that | were the oficers ever so shrewd they could never | find any trace to the robbers by meaus of Walter's | evidence. Therefore there is oniy one other me- dium left, and that is the medium of the letters, “THOSE POISONOUS PiCKLES.”’ Coroner’s Inquest In the Supposed Pickle Poisoning Case—How Very Many People Use Paris Green. Coroner Woltman held an inquest at five.o’clock last evening in the case of the supposed poisonous pickles which caused the death of Johu Powers, his sister Anna and Elien Burke about two weeks since. The evidence in this case pain- fully but clearly demonstrated the ignorance and carelessness of very many people in relation to one of the most deadly poisons known to chemis- | try—Paris green. Not one person in a thousand would think of | allowing arsenic to lay indiscriminately about bis kitchen, in pantries and dressers, and yet Paris | green, @ compound of arsenic and copper, and a much more geadly poison than arsenic, can be THE MURDER took place about six o’clock P. M.. or a few mo- ments before, and created an intense excitement tm the Fourteenth ward, thousands gathering about the scene of the affray and {foilow- ing the body to the station house, where they hhugered long after the perpetrators had been in- carcerated and the witnesses secured in the cells of the atation Louse on Fourth street, The details of the horrible r, a8 near as can be ascer- tained under the terrible excitement which agitates the community, are as follows :— James Killdait, Thomas McLaughlin and John Kingston, three masons and “society men,” who had knocked off work at five o'clock, visited the row of tenement houses in course of erection on Fourth street, between North Sixth and Nortn Seventh streets, and alter a few minutes’ conver- sation, not having succeeded in Pela. the workmen there employed to join their society or , “trade union,” commenced to quarrel with the men, who continued to work until aix | o'clock. A few minutes before that hour, however, the jibes and insults of the interlopers had exerted such an effect upon the workmen that ageneral assault was made upon them, during which Killdum was thrown out of the premises by | James Burke and John Keenan, two non-society men whom he first struck.
