Y., July 81.—Yonkers | is much excited over the case of Mary C. Blute, who has suffered with a spinal dis- ease for nine years, and until last Friday had not been able to walk a step since | March 19. Her age is 14. She is the daughter of Butcher John H. Blute of ff3 Ashburyton avenue, Yonkers, and is the oldest of seven children, three boys and four girls. The other six children are strong and healthy. Mary, when 5 years old, began tocom- plain of a numbness in her legs, which in- creased as she grew older. to a number of physicians, all of whom expressed surprise at the case and event- ually acknowledged themselves baffled by it. Specialists like Dr. Charles E. Nam- macke and Dr. Moses H. Starr acknowl- edged their inability to help her. She was exhibited last October at the Academy of Medicine in West Forty-third street before sixty-five physicians and surgeons. They alkshook their heads and decided it an in- curable case. Several medical journals took up the matter, publishing detailed ac- counts of it as an unprecedented case. No physician was found who could help her, although several experimented with | her, and her father expended a large sum in his efforts to obtain her relief. Her parents are devout Roman Catho- lics, and hearing last fallof the miracles | worked by the relic of St. Anne in East | Beventy-sixth street, this city, decided to | subject her to thetest. Shewasrepeatedly | brought to New York and the miracle- working relic was applied to her limbs, but it did not prove efficacious. Mean- while she kept getting worse, and on March 19 she collapsed completely and her ability to walk left her altogether. She could only creep around on her hands and knees, and it was necessary to carry her if she wished to leave the house. Father Cusic of St. Mary’s Church of Yonkers sufigesged a short time ago that Mr. Blute take his daughter to St. Anne de Beaupre, which is about twenty-two miles from Quebec, and let her worship at the shrine of St. Anne, at which there is an- other relic that had worked even greater miracles than the one in_Seventy-sixth street. Mr. Blute resolved to acton the started for Quebec in_spite of the attempts of his neighbors to dissuade him, who said that it would be a useless waste of money. Immediately on their arrival at St. | Anne de Beaupre they repaired to the istered to the child and she kissed the relic. It was then apolied to her limbs and on the third occasion of their visit, which was Friday afternoon, Father Flynn com- manded her to walk. “I cannot,” she replied. “Try again,” commanded the priest, | and with a very slight assistance from her father, whose hand she held to gain confi- | dence, she arose and walked twenty feet. | With a cry of joy father and child sank | down and the two offered up prayers of thankfulness. They returned to Yonkers on Monday | night”about 9 o'clock, and a crowd of friends gathered to offer congratulations. Even the most skeptical acknowledged when they saw the child walking around yesterday that she was cured. The child’s ankles are still rather weak, but she is | rapidly improving and even now walks |around the house unaided. Mr. Blute, | when seen last night, said that a number of other cures were accomplished while he was at Quebec. One man, he said, had his She was taken | advice, and on July 23 he and his daughter | shrine, where the sacraments were admin- | speech restored, and another left his crutches at the altar. ; ey PUNISHED A WIFE-BEATER. Pugilism Resorted to When Kindness Failed to Answer. WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 31.—Alder- man Donchue of this city put into practice yesterday a novel method of punishing wife-beaters, which, on its first trial, proved a great success, the husband and wife being fully reconciled at the present time. Charles Dorsey, a colored man, was ar- rested and taken before Donohue yester- day on a complaint of his wife, who charged him with knocking her down and kicking her. Alderman Donohue did not feel inclined to send him to jail as the wife vas ill and could not support herself. He first tried what kindness would do. Call- ing Dorsey to his side he gave him 50 cents and told "him to make friends with his wife and promise not to beat her again. Then he left the couple alone. When he returned in half an bour the settlement had not been effected and_the woman was crying. It seemed that Dorsey preferred going to jail to staying free and working for the woman. This roused the ire of Donohue and he called the negro into the rear room. “Take off your coat!”’ he said to the negro. ““‘What for, boss?” queried Dorsey, be- coming alarmed. “Take off that coat!” thundered the Alderman, removing his own. The negro replied with some trepidation and many doubtful looks. He was not kept long in suspense. As soon as Dono- hue threw his coat aside he sprangat Dorsey and knocked him down. Ashe arose the Aiderman cuffed him again right and left and then knocked him on the floor. The negro was shouting for mercy, but his punishment continued for five min- utes. 1{: the end of that time Donohue emerged from his office draggingalimp object behind him. He said nothing until he picked up the 50-cent piece Dorsey had dropped. ‘Then he commanded him to get some court-plaster, and the negro and his wife went home. 2l RS OppBsea to Consolidation. HELENA, Moxt., July 3L—The pro- posed consolidation of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems, which have over 1400 miles of railroad in Montana, has stirred up the people of this State to a de- gree that promises to result in an extra session of the Legislature. Twenty mem- bers of that body and a number of promi- nent citizens bave been in conference here during the past two days with Governor Rickards relative to the propriety of call- ing an extra session ana the Governoris | inclined to issue the call if it becomes necessary to prevent the consolidation of the two roads. The State constitution forbids the con- solidating of competing roads, and as all the branches of both roads were organized under the State laws all the Legislature | will have to do is to pass & law putting the | If it | constitutional provision into effect. becomes evident that consolidation will be efl]ected a special session will no doubt be called. ——— To Keep Up the Rates. CHICAGO, ILL., July 3L.—At a confer- ence of Omaha-Council Bluffs-Chicago lines, held in this city to-day, it was de- cided notto apply the rates from Omaha and Council Bluifs, via Chicago, to the G. A. R. meeting at Louisville. This action was taken in order to prevent a possible demoralization of ssenger rates in the territory covered. The lines interested do not propose to be caught, if they can help it, in the same kind of a trap the Eastern lines were during the Christian Endeavor meeting at Boston. All Drowned in a Lake. CASPER, Wvo., July 3L.—Mrs. W. 8. Newby and two children belonging to a family named Harris, who were in camp on Garden Creek, were drowned last night. The bodies were recovered this morning? On account of heavy rain the creek over- tlowed its banks and washed them away. SPREAD OF A SCARE, Continued from First Page. Jacksons Hole men, Simpson, Crandall and Tebbell, that if the troops did not “clean up” the Indians the settlers will the moment the troops depart, if the Indians come into the Hole again. These men also said that if Indian Agent Teters had remained another day in Jacksons Hole when he made his 1nves- tigation two weeks ago a party of set- tlers would have hanged him because he took the side of the Indians in this trouble, and said the settlers who killed the In- dians on July 4 should be punished. Colonel Randall says he believes that the fact that the troops are going into Jacksons Hole will only settle the present trouble for the time being, and that the settlers will attack the Indians if they re- turn, no matter what their errand be, and the Indians will retaliate. The Colonel further says that before the troops leave the Hole some settlement will have to be made by the Department, and if the Goy- ernor of Wyoming would send some one into Jacksons Hole to take care of his “white trash,”” he added, there would be no trouble. . Great uneasiness is felt by the whites who killed the first Indians and it is now believed by high authorities that the arrest and conviction is the only thing that will appease the wrath of the Indians and prevent a continuous bushwhacking war being carried on against the whites. Itislearned that the Indians are waiting either for the legal authorities or the troops to take the first step. The arrest of the settlers would enrage their comrades to a point that would almost turn them against the United States troops. 1f the settlers attack the Indians, as they threaten, it is said that it will be the fault of the representatives of Governor Richards, Adjutant-General Stit- zer and Colonel Foote, who rejoined the command at Mill Creek, after being lost in the mountains, instead of pressing through to Jacksons Hol® to warn the settlers not to attack the Indians and restrain them by their presence. These gentlemen have been severely censured by the military authorities and Agent Teters. Captain Smith, the man who killed an Indian July 27, was overtaken by the troops to-day. His version of the trouble is that he met two Indians carrying a dead elk calf. Captain Smith, who haa been fired upon by Indians the week before and shot through the breast, opened fire upon the Indians and killed one of them; the other escaped. Captain Smith says he will kill every Indian he meets. This Indian is the only being, either red er white, who has been killed since the original trouble. The troops are experiencing the greatest difficulty in getting through the swamps and morases of the Teton Basin, in which the wagon wheels sank until the hubs were covered. A guide who directed the command over the wrong trail caused a delay of three hours. Many bridges are found broken. The head of the column reached the Teton Pass at 1o’clock Mon- day, and after following the pass two and a half miles to Moose Creek, went into camp until this morning. To-day, as the officers say in their offi- cial dispatches, the troops will descend the worst trail in the United States. The first part is twelve miles long and it is so steep that no four mule teamscan haul more than 1200 pounds on the upper trip. Stephen Leak, Tue CaLL correspondent, Frederick Ames and a Boston party are among those who will follow the troops into Jacksons Hole. Thetwo scouts who were supposed to have been slain have justreturned to camp as the courier is ready to depart for Market Lake. They located a camp of seventy-five Indians in the Fall River Val- ley and when they left a party of settlers had just gone forth to attack them. WOMEN VEEKY RESOLUTE. Willing to Take Up Arms and Fight the Redskins. JACKSONS HOLE, Wro., July 30 (via courier to Market Lake, Idaho, July 31).— The United Press representative arrived this evening and the situation looks very mild. Strange to say, the first persons spoken to in Jacksons Hole were not frightened settlers moving out, but a party | of Utah people coming in. There are about twenty-five men here now, the oth- ers out scouting the location of Indians. The several scouting parties number some thirty-five men. Irving Wilson, a young man who was with the shooting party of two weeks ago, described the affair substantially as did Fred Peterson in yesterday’s telegram. He | said the leader of the arresting party who | arrested twenty-five men was Bill Man- ning, the Constable. Wheng the bucks were arrested they were ndt searched, which Wilson admits was a grave error. Manning anticipated a breakaway, in fact all signs were for one, but took only the precantion of telling his men to shoot at the Indians’ horses. Wilson said he knew nothing of the number of horses shot in obedience to his command. In fact he is not sure that any were shot. Thereisa | remarkable lack of knowledge about facts of this kind evinced by the settlers. There is some talk of other Indians be- ing killed in the mountains, and several persons have come in to report having killed handfuls of bucks. Asked the di- rect question, if he believed these stories, Mr. Wilson admitted that they sounded tall. There are entrenchments here at Simpsons Postoffice, five miles north; at Cunninghams, thirty-two miles north, and a fourth at Jacksons Lake, fifty miles northward. There are thirty or forty guns here, and some of the women are resolute and says that they would be glad to go into the pit and use some of the extra ones. The women are even more out- spoken in their bitterness against the In- dians than the men. APPEAL FROM SETTLERS. Troops Needed at Once in the Swan Val- tey Country. BOISE, Ipavo, July 31.—Governor Mc- Connell to-day received an appeal from settlers in Swan Valley, asking for troops, and saying that Indians were guarding the ferry on the South Fork of the Snake Rivet, south of Teton Basin. The Gov- ernor at once sent a message to Washing- ton asking that troops be sent, as General Coppinger’s whereabouts 1s unknown, and he may not know of the danger threaten- ing the people of Swan Valley. WYOMING’S GOVERNOR ACTS. Telegram Sent to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. CHEYENNE, Wvo., July 31.—No news of importance has been received at the Governor’s officé from the Jacksons Hole country to-day. The following dispatch was sent by Governor Richardson to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs: I have reliable information that 200 Indians, supposed to be Utes, were seen yesterday near South Pass, Fremont County; also a party of seven Sioux on Red Water Creek, same county, were mouated, armed and without children. The people of Fremont County are under arms and wire me for assistance. Cannot these, and all Indians in Wyoming, be recalled to their respective reservations? W. A. RICHARDSON, Governor of Wyoming. A CARSON SUSPECT DEAD Sudden Passing of Pickler, the Alleged Bullion Thief. Rumor That He Committed Sulclde Dispelled by a Post-Mortem Examination. CARSON, Ngv.,, Julv 31.—William Pickler, who was held by the Government some months ago to answer to charges of taking bullion from the melting deposit department of the mint, died here this morning. He intended leaving for South Camp and was called by a watchman at 3 o’clock. He answered the call and seemed to go to sleep again. A few minutes later the watchman tried to arouse him, when | it was found he was dead. The report was immediately circulated that he had died from poison, and it was only aftera post-mortem examination that the com- munity became satisfied that he had died from heart disease. Pickler was the mint employe in whose barn a large quantity of bullion, alleged to have been stolen, was found buried. | The discovery was made upon informa- tion given by a woman with whom he had querreled. The question of who shall | claim the bullion, which is now held by the prosecution, now puzzles the officials. Pickler had no near relatives here. His brother, who is in Boise City, Idaho, has been telegraphed to for instructions in the case. Pickler's people are now living in Kirkville, Mo. He was about 34 years of age. B PETALUMA’S LABOR EXCHANGE. A Departure That Is Solving the Probe tem of the Unemployed. PETALUMA, Car., July 31.—Petalnma Branch No. 58, Labor Exchange, is con- stantly growing in membership and isin a flourishing condition. The exchange held its regular weekly meeting last evening and admitted to membership Mrs. 8. D, Whitney, widow of ex-Senator A. P. ‘Whitney, and a lady of wealth and influ- ence. She has become greatly interested in the objects and purposes of the exe change, and ber name was subscribed for $100 worth of checks redeemable at the ex- change store in labor or goods. Messrs. Wurdig & Edstrom, proprietors of the California market, one of the larg- est grocery houses in Petaluma, have turned their stock of goods over to the ex- change, and a committee has been ap- pointed to begin taking an inventory of oods in the market. All of the exchange Eusiness will be conducted at this store. The products of all the members wili be taken and sold for checks. The plan of doing business by the Labor Exchange is decidedly interesting. Among other things under consideration now is the establishment of a brickyard on the ranch of G. R. Skinner, near this city. e Suicide of a Saloon-Keeper. LOS ANGELES, CaL.. July 3L.—John Goux, aged 27, one of the proprietors of the saloon in the Ramona Hotel, shot him- self through the head at 4 o'clock this afternoon, dying instantly. The act was caused by excessive drinking and despond- ency over business affairs. The suicide was a single man and had wealthy rela- tivesin Santa Bavbara. ————— e e ROYAL Baking Powder has been awarded highest honors at every world’s faty where exhibited.
