8 AN INDIAN MASSACRE. ‘Widowed and Childless Within an Hour. A STORY OF FEMALE HEROISM Derxorr, Jan. 28, 1877, There died in this ey yesterday » woman so Iittle Known, even to the peopio on the block in which she | lived, that the crape on the door was the first warning many of them had that she fad been tL It was the widow Hutley, and living in the same cottage, and made # widow at the same time, was Mra, Ebberts ‘As the trial of Joba D, Lee brought buck to public recollection the borrors of ploncer life in the West, | the death of dirs, Husiey’may again uncover that page | of Wustory on which was written the Indian massacres of frontier settiors in Minnesota, Both widows were | victims of that drief anu bloody sirite which desolated | 80 misoy cavins on that picket line of civilization, History torgot to record their names and their hero- ism, Let both be chronicled hero, BYORY OV THR MASSACRE. When the frontier troubles began the two widows were wives ond mothers, living in log cabins about @ mile apart, Tbese two cabins were the only ones for three or four miles either way, and when tye conduct of tho Indians vecame so suspicious that pradence counselied removal from the frontier tho Ebberts family loft their bome and consoli- duted with the Hutleys for mutual defence, Each | family had two children, making eight persons in the | cabin. The Indians had thus far molested no oue, but | they wore flerce and surly looks, skuiked about as if keeping watch on tho settlers, and the pioneers were living in a state of excitement and apprehension, One day, when the women bad occupied the sume cabin tor two weeks, Mr, Hutley started for a settlement seven mijes distané to procure provisions, leaving Mr. Eb | berts to guard the cabin, All outdoor work had | reused. If the pioneer moved outsido of the barrl- caded cabin his life was carried in bis band, and bis | eyes were onthe alert to detect the presence of the | expected foe. AN UNHAPPY QUARREL The average woman can sever tho ties of irendsbip, or rise superior to the perils of the bour, to carry her point, Mr, Hutiey had not been gone an hour when the children, rendered nervous and irritable by their close confinement, engaged 1m a quarrel, The eldest child was only five, so that no great physical damage could have been inflicted, but the quarrel angered the mothers; harsh words passed, and Mrs, Ebberts de- Glared that she would not remain in the Hutley cabin nother hour. Her husband was weak-minded enough to share in her feelings, and immediately prepara- tions were made to return and occupy his own cavin. He took the bed on his back, and the oldest child by the hand and started for home, leav- ing his wifo to follow on with his rifle and the other ebild, Anger brought such a spirit of reckiesmess that the man no longer feared any danger. Mrs. Eb, | berts did not immediately follow, having to make up a bundle of little articles, and the husband had about twenty minutes’ start of her, While both women were heartily ashamed of their silly conduct five min- utes after their hot words bad been spoken, yet neither would be tho first to make conciliatory ad- vances, and Mrs, Huticy stood in her cabin door and saw Mrs, Ebberts and child disappear in the torest. | THE CRACK OF THE RIFLE. | Just as she lost sight of them she heard the report of | rifles and faint yells in the direction of the other cabin, and she instantly divined that the long expected blow bad fallen. Forgetting everything but the fact that ber neigbvors were in peril, she took down the spare rifle which her husband had provided, and which she knew bow to use, warned her children not to leave tho cabin, and in two or three minutes she was running | through the woods after Mrs, Ebberts, It sub- | sequently appeared that Ebberts had just reached his bome when ie was attacked by a band of at least fifty Indians The child was shot dead at the first volicy, but the father prolonged his life for a few minutes by dodging from tree to tree. His wife was within eighty rods of him when he was killed, She heard the firing and whooping, and, while prue dence warned her to retreat, her love forced her on to Join her husband. The Indians had canght sight of her and opened fire when Mrs, Hutley came up, PRMALE HEROISM. History will never recora.a braver deed. Rendered desperate by the almost certain knowledge that her husband and one child had been murdered Mra, Eb- berts was like a tigress, She bad her busband’s rifle, and for a time the two lone women held that entire band of savages at bay. Nay, more than that, they | killed three of the redskins and wounded two more, as the Indians afterward admitted. When they found that the plan was to surround them they tell back. Between that point and the cabin the child was killed, | The women carried the body for= fow rods, but the close pursuit oblaged them to drop it, A NEW HORROR, A new horror awatied them as they entered the cabin, The demons bad already been there, ‘The old- est child was dead on the floor, its head almost sev- | ered from the body, and the youngest had been car- ried away, Two Indians were still in the bouse, mak. | ing preparations to burn it, One made a safe escape, but the other was shot down by Mrs. Ebberts as he cleared the doorstep. There was no time to remember the scalped and mutilated bodies in the forest, The Indians wero at the door almost before ths dark body | at the step had ceased quivering. It was a stout cabin, having more strength tha convenience, Logs and rool were not yet seasone enough to burn, and the single window was protected by a heavy blind. The redskins knew that there were only two women in the house, and they dashed at it and swarmed around it as wolves would surround a helpless doe, STORY OF THE SURVIVOR. “Mrs. Hatley was as pale as death and her band trem- | bled as she loaded the rifle, but her eyes shone like | Gre and she bit her lips till the blood came. I sup- pose I was half crazed, for | wanted to open the door and fight the whole ” Thus says the survivor, whose story of the terrible affair isas clear as the page of a book, The excite ment Was too great for the women to plan a defence, ‘Dut both understood that the Indians must be beaten off. There were two loopholes in the door and others In the walls, While the savages were massing against the door two of them were badly wounded from within, and soon thereafter one was killed from a loophole in the wall. Discovering that they bad perilous work on | | trom Ireland, on the steamer City of Montreal, intend- | twenty-two, | Freight depots. hand the Indians drew off and took cover behind logs, Humps and trees, and for an tour they fired at tie | loopholes, hoping that a chance shot might kill or | wound, Their bullets were simply thrown away, and | the effort to fire the roof was tine spent for nothing. A PRAMYUL DAY AND NIGHT All day long the siege was maintained, and when | darkness fell the women realized that it was to be the | longest night of their lives. A chiid dead in the | tabin, another carried away, a husband and two ehil- @ren dead in the woods, and the httle clearing was alive with bu:nun devils keeking the blood of the two | feeperave detenders, Says Mrs, Ebverts:— “My nerves were strung ap will 1 felt every minute as if 1 musttoss up my arms and scream out to relieve | the agony of my heart, and Mrs, Huticy was suffering fust as badly. At one time she would be wailing and sobbing over the poor dead body on the floor, aud then | again sho would stand at one of the loopnoies, ber face so white that | could see it through the darkness, | ft wae as still as death outside vntil about ten o'clock. | We were not off our guard at ail, t were beginning | to hope that the savages had left, when we heard them bu the roof, At the same moment they plugged ap all | the loopholes with sticks cut ‘or the purpose, I drove | these pugs out with the ax, While Mrs tluiley watebed | the roof, She fired asthe ludians made an opening, and we heard @ scream of pain.

Four years ago ® poor girl came to this country ing to find her sister in Brooklyn, who had sent tor her, and to settle down and live with her the life of an honest, virtuous girl During her delay at Castle Gurden she strolled out one fine afternoon along the Battery and attracted the attention of a police officer then on post, named Michael Collins. Ellen was only. and very comely. Indeed she is pretty still, notwithstanding the bard usage sbe has had during these last four years, Collins spoke to her, and, with the skill of men of his class, impressed the girl with bis own tmportan nd wormed ber history and projects outof her, He told ber tbat be could get her a situ- ation without any difficulty if she would meet bim the next day, and painted bis ability toserve in such strong und glowing colors that the poor girl believed and wag vory grateiulto him. She agreed to him the next day, aud ‘the old, old stury’? was repeated, with the usual tatal results, Klien lived with him for nearly lour years without the sanction of priest or notary, and never saw her sister since. Yesterday she eame to Police Headquarters and acked to see the Supermtendent, She seemed beart- broken and her face was ewollen. Before Chief Wal- ling she told the following narrative, which will be embodied in a complaint aga'nst the man who abused her. For some time Officer Collins has neglected Ellen—who bad taken bis vame, by the way—and her two children, neither living with nor paying them the $10 per month he bad agreed to give them for their very imperfect support, Not satisficd with this the fellow set his friends to watch her day and night at her residence—No, 6 Bayard street—in the hope of cutching her doing something that would afford quite him an opportunity to break off his al- liunce, He ts married, Silen gays. On Sunday she was walking on the Bowery when she was met and accosted by Sergeant Granger, of the steamboat squad, He suid, ‘Helio, Nell; come here; I want to see you right away.” She paid no ut- tention to him because at that time she was not fh him, So Ellen turned down Canal street, whither Granger followed her. Ranging close up beside her be said, ‘You know Mike Collins, don’t you? See here, if you don’t stop tooling with Mike and following bim abeut we'll run you in. You've got to drop all this ’ere nonsense mgbt away.” “I then said to him,” observed Ellen, ‘He is tho father of my two children and I want him to support them, Without another word, sir, he came close to meand gave me a stunning blow under the jaw with his fist and then weot away. A few minutes later 1 saw him talking to Mike Collins, near a lamppost.” ‘This story Will be made the basis of a charge on which Sergeant Granger will be tried by the Commis. stoners. acquainted wi LA VIE PARISIENNE, ‘As Justice Otterbourg announced that Jacques de la Haye was held for trial, 1p default of $1,000 bail, the latter cried vitterly and leaned bis bead on the iron railing in tront of the bench, And when Court Officer McSalley was about placing the bandcuffs on bis wrists he.threw an appealing glance at the complainant, Marte Cocheauteaux, and cried out:— “Marie, ma chére, pitrez-moi! sauvez-moi!’’ ‘The {acts in the case were that De la Haye and Marie were living together as man and wife tn Paris, and con- tinued therr relations on coming to this country, three months ago, woen Mile. Cocheauteaux started in business as a dressmaker at No. 83 South Fitth avenue, On Thursday last they quarreiled, and Mile. Cocheauteaux ran out of house tolling De la Haye that she would not live with Lim again. When she returned she round that ber tray jing trunks had been opened and sl is and other articles of clothiog valued at $300 taken. The case was placed in the hands of Detective Reynolds of the Fighth precinct, and on Monday morning a messenger cailed at Mite. Cocheauteaux’s residence with a note trom De la Haye saying that if she would give him enough money to pay his passage back to Paris he would returo the property. The detective instructed her to go with the messenger, who brought her to the corner of Twenty-seventh street and Sixth avenue, where De la Haye was drinking absinthe in a basement siloon, He was at onco arrested by Detective Reynolds and the stolen property recovered. In his formal examination yesterday he gave his occupation as a clerk and said:— “1 always considered Mile, Cocheautoaux as my wife, both here and In France. Iam sorry for what 1 have done.” Whew Mile. Cocheautanx found that De Ju Haye was to be placed in jail she pleadea earnestly with the Jadge for his release.

Avery important meeting of the grain trade was heid yesterday at the managers’ room of the Produce Exchange to take into consideration a new grading of grain, wub which the Standing Committee on Grain, of which Mr. Leonard Hazeltine is chairman, bad been intrusted, and upon whose report action was to have been bad. Noarly all the heayy grain dealcra were present and seemed to take a fively interest the subject, H Mr. Kneeland, of the firm of Carlos Cobb & Co,, was called to the chair, Mr, Hazeltine proposed. to lay the subject of grading winter wheat over and begin with spring.wheat, This was adopted and the foliow- ing schedule was indorsed ;— RING WHEAT. * shall be sand, plump and well . wei not loss than Afty-nine pounds to t measured bushel and composed mostly of the hard varieti of «pring wheat, ‘ No, 1 Northwest spring wheat shall be sound, well cleane weighing not less than fitty-eight pounus to the meas uushel, No, 2 Northwest spring wheat shall be sonnd, reasonably clean, weigh! not Jove than Gfty-six pounds to the messi No. 3 Northwest r wots! gine spring wheat shall be sound, reasonably not jess than Gfty-four potinds to the el measiired bushel Notk —The grades of Northwest wheat are to incinde the | Das are lighs colored, plump wheats, s ‘west, and to correspond, as general character, with No. 1 spring wheat shall be soun ‘not less than fit; de tO increase of on poun Md) bushel).

On this specific a great deal of debate was indulged in, The denomination of grades, as compared with the West, were saia to be so much at variance that the New York dealers were put to considerable loss, and sometimes caused the latter (o be the laughing stock of the trade, It was contended that the grad- ing of this staple must be made moro in unison with the West, and the system of grading by weight aban- doned, . Hazeliine said that the Board of Man- agers had dectded that the choice corn from Kansas must be kept separate, the same course being adopted in Chicago, and that if the proposed geades of grain were adopted the trade abroad would have more con- fidence in the shippers of this city. Mr, Cobb thought that the ‘mongrel corn’? is becom- ing extinct, as better seed ts being planted, especially in Southern Indiana and Southern Ohio. He wanted to havo the grade “iow mixed” corn abolished and make the stanaard of the entire crop a higher color, His motion to strike out the grade of “mixed corn” was lost. On the grade of “steamer corn’’ another protracted dobate was bad, in which a number of prominent dealers present purticipated. The proposed definition of ‘ater corn’? 1s its condition to be sound, &c, It may be ‘slightly soft or damp, but must be cool.” It ‘was argued that if corn shipped by sail and arriving in Europe is in good condition it more than meew the requirement of No, 3 mixed, slightly soit. Mr. Kneeland said that the present was the tinest corn crop ever harvested; yet, according to the present grading, biy house, on a presumptive receipt of 1,000 car loads of corn, 774 were *‘no — 156 are graded as *‘steamer,”’ 63 only rated as No. land new mixed, and 8 us unmerchantable, Yet the staple is the finest they ever handled.

AMBRICA’S IMPORTANT PART IN THE ECONOMY OF (OMMERCE—AN INTERVIEW WRTH JUDGE HILTON, News was flashed across the ocean yesterday from Manchester to the effect “that at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of that city the President had said that the exports of Manchester goods to the United States, which formerly afforded an excellent market, were now nil, and that there is considerable trade in Manchester in cotton fabrics manufactured in America.” A H&RALD reporter was instructed to call upon Mr, Hilton, of the firm of A. T, Stewart & Co., to gain his opinion on the subject, and this is what he said in reply to questions: First, let me say that I am glad to see the Henao 1s taking an interest in this matter, The English government limits duty to the importation of a very few articles, and our goods enter British ports free, In the United States, however, the duty on English and French printed cotton goods and chintz will ruo from thirty-live to sixty per cent, accerding to value. A safe estimate of the average would be about fitty percent. You see that wo have this great advantage of tariff over our Manchester competiturs, and can pour our goods into their mar- kets. The English manufacturers ship largely to Aus- traliaand the Kast Indies, but we are big Page to compete very seriously with them thero. In several parts of the worid the Manchester men have obtained ad name for their cotton goods by weighting them with size, which gives them a strong solid appearance, but when wasbed and moved they are seen to be light and flimsy und transparent enough to allow a New Kogiand primer to be read through the texture, Iv ig no vain boast to say that our American cotton goods bear the best reputation im the Kust, and rue porters therawould not change them jor the British products, When cotton is bigh on tue other side, as it 18 to-day, it does not pay us to export, although some | of our larger cotton manufacturers are overloaded. Mill, own do want to stop their mille, ‘ay it always has a prejudicial effect. ‘They will willingly sacrifice ten to fiiteen per ceut on the price of their goods sooner than siop manulacturing, Percale 1s sold in New York at fitteen cents a yard, which com- pares favorably 1m appearance with Kngish and French prints at forty-five cenis a yurd, Tue last s.x mouths have been terribly dull in our trade, particularly the Jast three. The uncertainty and insecurity as regards the Presidenty has had much to do with it, Soutbern trade is entirely stopped, and the jobber: back for a falling market, 1 cannot tell y of communications we rescive irom the South, but will only say the sooner the Presidential question is settied the better, OTHER COMPARISONS. “West of England broadcloih we cannot successfully imitate, The best quality realizes here $10 per yard, German broadcloth $6 and American $2 20, ‘This re- mark still applies to a good many other articles, Of course importations have to pay duties more less high. You see these samples of woolien dress goods on my desk, made of silk, camels’ buir und wool, and containing twenty-five, fifteen and ten per cent of silk respectively, We used to buy this class of goods from France, where they made them of camels’ bit, spup with wool, In Mr. Stewart's life me we agreed | together to buy up all the camels’ bair we could find in the United States, and cleaned out the market, obtain- fog altogether some 40,000 pounds, To cut a long story short, we are now manutacturing these goods and sbipping them to Paris aud other European centre soiling them at baif the price we did the same style of goods we formerly ported itom | France, Another thing we have ceased to import is woollen blankets, In conclusion, | maintain that since 1873 this country has advanced fiity per cent in excellence, at jeast, in the mavulacwure of woollen goods.” SUGAR The developments im the sugar smuggiing from the brig Gomez de Castro, lying off the Columbia stores in Brooklyn, and mentioned in the Henao of the 4tn inst pureued by Captain Brackett, special Treasury | agent, show that an extensive traffic in this line has been carried on for some time, and the consignees of | such cargoes complain bitterly at tho shortness of weight they are subjected to, Captain D, Sacremento, comm: ing the De Castro, was brought to the Cus- tom House, and gequired to make a statement under oath, In bis affidavit be says “that the tve bags of sugar soized at Costello's junk shop were part of the ship's stores, and that two of the bags were given to the crow at Babia, which, with the scrapings of the deck, made tho complement sold.” The ship's mant- fest Was Jooked through and nothing found therem of the freight in question. ihereupon be coutradicted the statement by saying that he knew nothing about the sugar, that 1t was not on the sbip’s maniiest, and wus gold without bis Knowledge. ‘The tnate of the brig, who was also arrested, made oath vo the fact that the seized sugar was and sold by bit for $20.

FAILURE OF HOTEL KEEPERS. Mensrs. G. F. and W. D. Garrison, the well known hotel proprietors, bave made an assignment of their property at Garrison’s for the benefit of their credit- ors. Mr. G. F. Garrison assigns the Highlund House, and his brother gives up his cottage and real estate, ‘The assigninent is made to Judge Jobn J. Monell, of Newburg, and is the resuit of an unexpected call to meet thei? paper, which was held by tho Fisnk:!l Bank, Since the great defalcation in that institution the bank has beer oalling in all its loans immediately, cuusing much disti The bank had $12,000 of Mr. G. F. Garrison’s paper, and when the call was made be was unabie Lemp fhe demand unless ata sac- rifce of bis f ar, W. D. Garrison said yester- day that he considered the action of th bank very unjust, and the assiznment wa: mado to protect all the croditors. The liabilities of hig brother, he thought, woold not ox- ceed $25,000, exclusive of @ mortgage of about $10,000, There area number of other creditors be- sides the bank, but there is vory hitle owing in this city, probably less than $500, The furniture in the hoiel would probably realize $16,000, He was on his brother's paper for $10,00U, and he bad given up all property for the benefit of the creditors. His real es- tate would bring abous $6,000 in these tomes, although he considered it worth douvle that figure, They would have paid seventy-five cents on the d am- mer, and would have paid the remaining twenty-five cents in time if an extension bad been granted. He further said that it was the intention of the assigneo to make some kind of a settlement, probably at fifty or seventy-five cents on the dollar, But whatever ar- rangement was made, they intended to hovoratly dis- charge all their debts in full as they made profit, and would ultimately pay in tull, The assignment aocs not affect the Grand Union Hetel in this city, asthe Messrs, Garrisoc are managers and not proprietors, DUNCA) The ways of the Duncan, Sherman & Co, investi- gation are mysterious, and its progress 16 eminently unsatisfactory. After innumerable post- ponements measures wero taken last Suturday which, it was thought, would insure the prog- ress «of the Inquiry. On the pplication of | Mr. Brown, counsel for the petitioning creditor, Mr. j Haight, Register Ketchum directed new summonses to bo issued to compel the attendance of William Butler Duncan, ex-Judge W. D. Shipman and Fratice H. Green. These summonses were made returnable at half-past ten o’clock yesterday morning, but it appears that the counsel of the petitioning creditor futled to effect service, Under the circumstances be did not put in any appearance yesterday, and the bankrupts wore also unrepresented. The gentlemen mentioned in the summonses bat owever, voluntarily presented themselves before the Register on Monday, sup! that that was the day on which their attepdance was required, It 18 now understocd that the inquiry will be resumed on Saturday noxt, at nall-past ten A.
