The general was afterwards met by a BEE reporter, He said that he had vis- ited Fort McKinney and several other localities and had “returned by way of FortR obinson. He had beard nothing of the uprising of the Utes until he reached Blair that evening, when a copy of the BEE was shown him, He then read the account which this paper pub- lished yesterday morning concerning the trouble with the Utes in the vicinity of Fort Duchesne. The general had already started on his way home and had thus missed the telegrams which had been ad- dressed to him by Captain Ray and others. When seen by the reporter for the BEE the general had not had time to rest, but said to the writer that he was unable to foresee what would be the result of this uprising of the Utes. *I have not been very tamiliar with the Utes, having had but lttle to do with them,'’ said the general. ‘‘In the cam- paign of 1879 1 had some Utes as scouts against the Sioux and other tribes, and two or three of these I met a few days ago, when I was out in that vicinity.

The governor has treated all these native visitors in the kindliest manner, as is his custom with all visitors, ana it has brought them out in force this summer. Some days the re- ception room has appeared like a council of war, a dozen hearty bucks beingseated on the floor, and they never make their visits short, for begging is generally ood about the state house. here is & smell that lingers for days after a visit from a delegation, and it re- uires the utmast vigilance of Captain %Illwzel the rooms aired in time for the next delegation. The three who arrived vesterday were of more than usual note, as ignorant of English as the wildest, and the chief drew from the breast pocket ol his coat—an ancient broadcloth, that had done society work in Omaha—a well-worn envelope that held an equally well-worn parchment, e AT ONANA, Ia,, Jul,{__ 24, Mr. Edwin A, Leavenworth and ‘Florence Hubbard Reid, both of this city, were married by the Rev.

McCulloch gave a reception at their residence, 2420 Decatur street, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McCague. Over 150 invitations had been 1ssued, and the parlors were crowded during the entire evening with friends of the hosts. The *udze and his amiable wife were untiring n their eftorts to entertain the guests, and the happy couple in whose honor the affair was given were the recipients of many congratulations. The event was a happy one, and amongr those g‘resem were: Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Rev. and Mrs. Josnrh N.

The residence of Mr. Fred Krug, the well known brewer, on South I'wentieth street, was the scene of a very happy event lust Tussday afternoon, the occa- sion being the marriage of Mr. Conrad Wiedeman, of the firm of Wiedeman & Co., to Miss Annie Krug, daughter of Omaha’s povular brewer, The wedding was & quiet one, only the most intimate friends being in attendance. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Mr. Dahl- man, of the German Lutheran church, Mr. Henry Boese and Miss Lina Krug being the attendants. Immediately after the marriage rites were performed, the company was in- vited to an eclegant wedding dinner. The viands were of the best, the wines the rarest, and happineas and good will reigned supreme. The afternoon was russud most pleasantly under the shade n Mr. Krug's garden. Speeches. songs and rocitations added to the pleasure of the occasion, rmml)ln'x vividly the happy scenes of the fatherland in days gone by. Many elegant presents were given, Prominent among them were the cray- on portraits of the aged parents of the groom sent from Germany, where they reside. The donor was a brother of Mr. Wiedeman. Congratulatory cablegrams were received from parents and friends in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Wiedeman left for Spirit Lake for a sojourn of tkree or four by the Presbpterian Aid society of South Omuha at the Maxwell residence, on the Summit. The arrangements for the comforts and;plensure of the guests were complete, and all present thor- oughly cajoyed themselves. Mrs. Max- well was untiving in_her efforts to please and succeeded tothe oxtent that her kindness will ever be remembered. Rev. Dr. Lodge and--wife aided 1n the enjoy- ment of the ocgasion, 1886. This Fort Atkinson wuas at the fiolnt afterward designated as_Fort Cal- oun in Washington county. The treaty, after reciting in a long preamble the mutual admiration each race had for the other, stipulated in detail what each party to the agreement should do. The white men were to establish a tradicg post, to assist them in protectiom from native enemies, and the Indians were to refrain from numerous depredations, the principal of which seemed to be horse stealing. On the part of the government the treaty was signed by Brigadier Gon- eral H. Atkinson and Benjamin O. Ful- ton, adjutant. Michael Burdeau made his mark as interpreter, and a long row of the names of chiefs with the meaning of their names followed. Some of these names and_meaning are worth repro- duection. For example: Opatoga, the bij elk; Ohoshingo, the man that cooks little in a small kettle; Shongisca, the white horse; I'arvettee, the side of a buffalo; Mohpemanee, the man that lays on his arrows few the number that pierce him. The old document would make a valu- able addition to rclics for the State His- torical society. CONCERNING THE PAVING. There are a great many criticisms on the slow progress in paving floatin, around, that are uncalled for as againa the contractors. The council agreed upon, and asked bids upon a certain Col- orado stone for guttering, and 1t is im- possible to procure the material with any speod atall. Contractor of the work, Mr. Clark, is ready and willing to pro- ceed with the work with any other stone the city may select, and if the city does not want to chango there is no recourse only to get the stone when it can be se- cured. ‘snms far only a small amount has been received, and the loss 18 direct to the contractors as they have men and four companies of the Twenty-first infantry at Fort Steele, and two of the Twenty-ninth at Duchesne. I have not investigated the matter. but I think that it is true that Colorow has not been on tho agency since the killing of Merrit some time ago. They have as a conse- quence begun to feel that they eannot be whipped and this fact possibly has en- couraged them to an outbreak. “You ask if I shall take command in the event of fifht. Imust eay that that depends on circumstances.’’ COLONEL HENRY. Colonel Henry, inspector of rifle prac- tice of this department. who was in the campaign ainst the Utes after tho massacre of Thornburg and his comrades and the murder of Agent Merritt, said that if it was true that the Utes had broken out, it would not be a matter simply of a day to put them down. They were armed with the most approved rifles, and the ronghness of their country waus such that they could safely defy an army to dinluc‘l‘gc them. Their fastnesses are full of deep canyons, which were covered with grass sufficient to provide for their ponies for many a month, while their position would enable them to hold an army at bay for a long time. Besides the) colonel had no doubt that the Utes were on friendly terms with the Mormons, and it was a known fact, that, in the event of war, they would receive asgistance from Lhu(r polygamous neigh- bors. The Utes were not prairie Indians, They would take to their mountains and nothing less than a campaign could dis- lodge them. The Utes were mountain Indians and could not be expected to give open battle, and would require the work of botk the infantry and cavalry. In winter the canyons would be packed with snow, and it weuld be still more dif- ficult to attempt to reach them. They ot I 18 stated upon authority which can- not be questioneéd that Mr. Clemont C. Chase will in afew months lead to the altar one of .Omaba’s most charming girls. The engagement has not been for- mally announced, but the event will robably take place some time in Octo- er, and with his bride the editor of the Excelsior will go to the Pacitic coast for a brief visit. The bride is a well-known young lady of this city, loved and es- teemed by all for her estimable traits of character. * M LAst THURSDAY night, at the residence of Mr.J. B. Mason, No. 1416 Sherman *avenue, the Rev. C. W. Savidge united in marriage Mr. Mason S. Frisselle and Miss Lula Young. After the cercmony an elegant wedding supper was served. T THE M1ssEs FLORENCE AND JOSEPHINE FRENCH gave a delightful dancing party at their residence in Central Park on Fri- day evening. A platform had been erect- ed for the occasion under the trees which adorn their beautiful grounds. The mu- sic was furnished by the Fifth infantry band, whose strains lured the devotees of Terpsichore to linger until a late hour. Among those present were the Misses Carrie and Mamie McLain, Jessie Le- Clair, Addie Hurlburt, Lizzie Lawton, Sue and Mollie King, Mollic Knowles, and Miss McKinstry, of Mobile, Ala., and differed from the Sioux and Apaches, | weeks, and upon their return they will £y i 3 ;“'. :m' ::;lltdnn'?nmln;th’i&em:u':a:l; especially in cunning, and would yield to | be at home 1n their cozy house on South i!!“ Meuérs.‘ (ze\%rged},)ny. ‘)“:‘“'gi Searle, that has boen received is rapidly gomng | nobody.

James A. Woyant asks divorce from his wife, Jennie M. Weyant, on the grounds of neglecs, desertion and adultery. For two years he claims she bas left him, and he therefore prays for reloase from the marriage an the custody of the two children. BRIEF ITEMS, There has been for some time & man named Mitchell who has been workin, up nn entertainment of a theatrical character, in which company D, of the state militin, was to take active part, and it was to ba ostensibly for their ben- efit. When Friday night, the time for the entertainment, arrived. Mitchell was gone and the entertainment had to be stponed until last night and worked as edge of his friends. The anxiety of his family has grown to a painful degree and every effort to determine his where- abouts is being made. Mr. Armbrust is five foet four mnches in height, is thirty- one years old, 'E“hl about 140 pounds, is of hight complexion, has light hair and aface quite smooth, save for a light moustache. At the time of his disap- pearance he wore a gray alpaca coat and vest, gray striped pants and brown straw hat and had a gold watch and chain. He wus last seen in Omaha on Monday, August 8, about noon and_ in Council Blufts Tuesday afternoon. Is thought to have straved away while suffering from mental aberration, although now 1 seems probable that he was foully dealt with, Any information that may be had re- rding him should be communicated to Mrs, George J.

A Burvivor of the Chatsworth Horror in Omaha. Frank Wiederholm, a survivor of the recent Chatsworth disaster, was in the city a few hours yesterday. He is an in- tellizent young business man ot Hudson, Wis., a town on the Northwestern about twenty miles from Minneapolis, and was on his way home. At the time of the Chatsworth accident Wiederholm was in the smoking car, which was among the first to go through the bridge. After the great crash was over he found himself pinned in the wreck, but the seat which lay across his back had saved him from serious 1njur{. Beneath him was a mother and child both dead, crushed by a truck, while the dead and dying were c¢rowded and pressed in upon him from all sides. Snorw after being released from the wreck Wiederholm examined the bridge. He 1s strongly of the opinion that the fire was the work of an incendiary. He says the bridge bore plain evidence of having had a fire built un top of the trestle, and that the flames had slowly worked down- ward on the bridge supports, consuming them at the top and scarcely scorching them at the base. One of the sugporu had been cut over half way through with an axe, the marks Imi;\(f very plain, al- though an attempt had apparently been made to conceal them by holding some burning substance against the hacked parts. It thus appeared to him that it was the work of train robbers who had made their work doubly sure. Upon being asked if he saw any of the thieves plying their work, he replied that he had not, but had beard a good many com- plaints from those who had been robbed. Wiederholm bore as a souvenir of the disaster a long wound on the forehead. Otherwise, outside of a few shight bruises, he was unharmed. Richard Kitchen left last night for Denver.

Ullmann and friends ad- vanced the $16,000 which Hayti needed some tie ago to induce England to withdraw her threat to seize Tortugas island. Ullmann now claims to be in possession of the island which would make a valuable canal station and proposes to offer the island to the United States. He belleves that if the United States assumes dominion of the island it will at once give to 1ts material development so great an impetus tnat he will be a good deal more than compensated for the cession. He accordingly will offer to pay the United States a very large sum otit of the first pro- proceeds that he expects to derive from cut- tmznud sale of valuable timber with which he island is covered. Healso intends to in- vite by every liberal means immigration fromlreland and elsewhere. He sald last night: *“The Haytlen government has signed an agreement or treaty with mo_ giv- ing me full right and authori ( to sell Tortu- gas. A strong prejudice against European powers exist in Hayti, but 1 anticipate no gflwultl‘on ‘whatever to cession to the United S tatos.” S The Pittsburg Fire.
