Father Craft said in the beginning the Indians hoped for much aid from the srovernment to enable Ilium to become like the whites. They were, however, ill-treated, mocked and di-eourajjed in every way. Instead of beina ward-thev have felt they were the ictims of unscrupulous politicians, who benefited by their mKerj. I'ather Craft adds: "I know what I say. for I have shared their suiTcrinjrs for many years. In their despair lieu. Ciook brought them lnpe. Their confidence in him led them to hope that they would be able to real ize their hopes. WU death was their death blow, and the Knew it. The In dians are not fools, but men of keen in telligence. The reduction in rations ite rations increaed their fears. Kven the Indians protected against cruelty. Mr. Lee. who took the census, made grave. miatakes. lie counted less than the real numbers and made false reports of pros perity that did not evist. It is not to be wondered that they believed in the Messiah, whom they at tirst doubted ami 1 Mencd to every deceiver who promir-ed hope. Interested whites took advantage of this state of alfaias and howled for troops. The army indignantly protested against the false statements but had to go to the scene of the piopo-ed danger. Inter ested whites persuaded them that the entire destruction was aimed at. and the Indians ran away in fear and despair. Father Jutz claimed them and I brought them back to the agency, and the kind-lies- of Hen. llrooke convinced them of their safety. The general's plan to send Indians after those still out was good. and would have succeeded if the general was left alone, .lust as a tree can be traced from its smallest branch to r.ot. so can the Indian troubles traced to tarvation and the misery it be of the Indians." In conclusion Father Craft arraigned Coiumi.-Moner Morgan in severe terms. BIG BLAZE IN NEW YORK. Firili Avenuo Tlieatcr mill Oilier I'roperty Ituriifil. Nr.'.v York. dan. 3. Shortly after the close of "Cleopatra" by the Fanny Hav en port, company at the Fifth Avenue theatre last night, lire was discovered in the building. It s-pread with marvelous, ratiiditv. and before long the Fifth Ave- ', ' ime theater. Hermann".- new play house, , a dozen stores and a whole block on Ilroadway were in flame. ' A -still wind was blowing and in spite ! of the utmost efforts of the lire depart i ment the. buildings mentioned above , were gutted. TheSturtcvant house was j threatened and great excitement pre i vailed. While the lire was at its height ' there were six explosions of gas in the 'Fifth Avenue theater, which blew bhu ' ing timbers in all directions, -ettins lire to adjoining buildings and nearly caus ing the death of a dozen firemen. All the property burned belonged to the Cilsoy estate. The total damage to the Fifth axenue theater is e-timated at ' ! 00.000. Prof. Hermann lo.-t his prop erty in his new theater, and the stocks of six or eight t,ire in the block on Ilroadway were very badly damaged. At 2:L"i"the tire in the Sturievant house was under control. The lo.-s to the Fanny Davenport company will amount to ivSO.OUO. It is impossible togixean ' estimate of the other losses to-night. As far as learned no lives were lost. According to the Hcrabl ix firemen Io-t their lives in the Fifth avenue the-at.-r. At 3:1.-1 a. in. the fire was still burning. A careful estimate of the fire here last i night places the loss at S307.000. more than half ot which falls upon the insur aii e companies. So far positively no ; explanation can be given for the blaze. Hermann's theater was given up for lost , Inn it is now found that the total damage w.il not exceed sj-.OOO.

Contractor K-ne. or South Sioux City, 3Jys-t.-rinu-Iy liu:ippcar-. Soitii Siorx Citv, Doc. -".. Special: It now looks as if we had a full-Hedged case of absconding from this city, the particulars of which are as follows: When the riprapping work was com menced on this side of the Missouri river for the Short Line bridge a firm named Pose & Jiiirkc were contractors on a certain portion or the work. Hiirke, for some rea-on, withdrew from the firm about six weeks ago, leav ing C. D. Pose to complete the contract, which he did. The bridge company paid off their men Tuesday of last week, Pose drawing, it is said, somewhere near 300. This "money, or the greater portion of it, should have been paid to the men whom he (Pose) had hired to work for him. Put instead of paying his men he left town, leaving several unpaid bills. There is a mystery connected with the absence of Mr. Pose, inasmuch as he has heretofore borne an excellent reputation. No fam ily trouble; not a man addicted to drink ing, and aside from the indebtedness in curred in the aboveinentioned contract not, financially involved. The sincere vvi.-h of his many friends here is that he will return and square the matter up. Mr. Pose is married, and has a wife and two children here, who are unable to ac count, in the slightest degree, for his strange actions. No tidings have been 1 received from him since Wednesday morning, when he was seen going to ward Sioux City early in the morning. It was reported that he had been ar rested in Des Moines Saturday, but there : - ..-. 4 .!. . 1 1.1 i.m.i. I IIU 11 ULJI ill Hit- iiuui t.. Train Dispatcher Sweet is on the -ck iist.

Mrs. Clark had resided at her late residence for several years past, iiavpig come from Providence. P. I. She had been unwell for some time previous, and a short time ago attempted to end her life, but failed. Yesterday morning her husband started after a neighbor to send for a doctor, against which she protested, and when he returned he found the body of his wife lying on a mattress, which she had arranged be ' fore firing the fatal shot. The husband is nearly crazed by grief Cover the deed, which is considered the result of illness and despondency. The couple had no children. An Insane Father's Deed. Fkkgus Falls Minn., Dec. 29.

' th Store It Is Probed tlto Worn It Ap pear Some Very Suspicious Circuut- ! Ktancea. ! Chicago, Dec. 30. The assignees of the insolvent banking firm of S. A. Kuan j have completed their schedule of the as- j sets and liabilities. It shows the fol-) lowing resultsl xVssets Hills receivable, 75,000: cash. S20.000; equities in script, 7,300; total, jios.GOO. Liabilities To depositors, about $500,- , 000; casn from otiier banks in transit, ' gio,ooO; total. S310.000. t Tho ast item of ti,e liabilities will havo to be paId in fnt reducing the' avajiable assets to 96,000. No value, can bo placed on the land held by Mr. Kean and his wife, as it is so burdened with litigation us to make it problem- atlcal whether anything will be gained. Of the 280,000 or thereabouts of tho bills receivable scheduled by Mr. Kean. 200,000 is beyond hope of redemption. It was loaned to personal friends and ; acquaintances whose signatures repre- ! sent no property and constitute the whole security. The investigation into tho failure which was initiated at the instance of ' about 300 of the creditors, was resumed ' yesterday morning, Henry L. Hatfield, ! manager of the New York branch of the j bank, being placed on the stand. It Is claimed that funds to n totp.l of 17,000 J J were transferred from the New York ' brink on the dav nrlor to the failure. ! (i a ,lotermincd effort will be made to i discover where this money went. The ' unlucky depositors are also determined to know how it happened that so many other depositors suddenly concluded to withdraw tneir money from the bank a few days prior to tho failure. Quite a I number of these, and who are known to j have been on terms of personal friend- J ship with the Keans and their cMan j Friday," John Culver, have been sum- I moncd to present themselves for exami- '. nation, and if it is found that any of . ; their number were favored with a quiet ! tip, to get from tinder the impending I ' crash, it will tend to develop one more I case of perjury against "Deacon" Kean. I I who has several times -worn that up j 1 to within an hour of making the assign- i j ment he had net imagined that such a ' course would bo necessary. The moro ! ' the failure is probed the worse it ap- " j pears. Another thing that is to be j probed to the bottom is the fact that the ) books of the bank show an apparent ! ' shortage between disbursements and re- I ceipts for the first seventeen days of t ' September of no less a figure than half ! a million dollars. Hanker Keaifs pri- j vate cash book, which has not yet been , j found, is expected to explain this re- i j markable shrinkage. The report of the ' assignee differs very materially from t those made by him to the commercial j j agencies a short time ago, and even more materially from the statement which he i i made to other local banks and bankers when at the last moment he was solicit ing aid for his institution. DIAMONDS AND MURDER. A 31ystorlou Pol-onlnc Ciiho Agitating Uelfast, Ireland, I'ollco. Belfast, Dec. 30. What is supposed to be a mysterious suicide is at present the sensation of the day in this neighbor hood. From the accounts given out by tie police, who maintain a mysterious silence upon many important links in the story, the following appear to be "J he facts in the case: A man named Mc- , Dowel!, who it was supposed was born in this city, went to South Africa some ; years ago, finally settled down in the ' diamond region and managed to acciimu i late a fortune there. About seven i weeks ago McDowell realized upon his belongings in South Africa and .. ! prepared to return to Ireland. Previous to so doing, however, he married a Beau tiful girl belonging to Kimberly, the cel ebrated diamond mining town. After his marriage, McDowell left with hi? bride, for this country. After their ar rival here, Mr. alid Mrs. McDowell' passed some time in this city, and then seem to havu settled down in a town on .. ., , T .,, ' Lough with the intention of spending their honeymoon there. In a short time the inhabitants of Pangor were thrown into a state of great excite ment when it became known that the body of Mrs. McDowell had been found at the roadside just outside of town, with ; an empty bottle supposed to have con- tained poison, lying beside her. The po- i lice are investigating the mystery. BOOTH AND SMITH. Tho Commander of the Salvation Ariny ICUea to Remark. London, Dec. 30. (Jen. Pootb. in a ' communication to the Times, says: "I deeply regret that misapprehension , and some differences of opinion as to the ' best plan for working his department led Commissioner Smith to resign.

Tlie commis sioner of Indian affairs this morning re ceived the following dispatch from Agent Hover, dated Pino Pidgo-agency, Dec. 29:" 4-On Wounded Knco creek this morning while the soldiers were disarm ing Pig Foot and his band after their surrender, a fight took place which rc resultcd in the killing of about 300 In dians and several soldiers, including Capt. Wallace, with a number of wounded. Two Strike and his party, who were camped on White Clay creek, just below Pcd Cloud's house, opened 'ire on the agency from the hill top op posite the boarding school, wounding two soldiers. The polico returned the fire, killing two of Two Strike's Indians and wounding two others. Two Strike and j his band have retreated in a northwest erly direction form the agency, and it is j supposed he is trying to make his way back to the bad lands.

The State i .Tsjimml lias from its special correspond- j ent the following story of the fight be- ! tween the troop- and Pig Foot's Indians ' at. the camp at Wounded Knee: At S o'clock yesterday morning the troops , were massed about me iiiuuin viwac. niu IlotcbUiss gun nrri-lonkimr the camp, not llfty yi'td away. - ' .-'..I I'ol. For.-ythe ordered all l- forward away from tho the Indians to come tents. They came and met in a half circle until counted. 1 he dismounted tioops were then thrown mound them, company K, Capt. Wallace, and company It, Capt. War rum. The older was then given to twenty of Die Indians to go and get their Rims. They returned with only two guns. A de tachment of troops at once began to search tlie village, finding thirty-eight guns. As thi-task was completed the Indiatuvsur lounded by companies IC and It began to ( move. All of a sudden tlioy threw their ( blankets to the ground, whipping up the J tiiits and -began firing rapidly at the troops, not twenty feel away. The troops were at i great disadvantage, fearing tlie shooting of their comrade. Tiie Indian men, women , and children then ran to the south battery ; liiiug lap'.dly n- they ran Soon mouulcil troops sliO ling them down on were alter tneui, every hand. The. engagement la-tcd fully an hour and a half. To tlie south many took refuge in a ravine, fiom which il was dlflicult to dis lodge them. I should estimate the killed and wounded, from what I saw on the field and vicinity, ul lifiy. Ju-t now it is im prssiblc to state the exact number. Tho soldiers are shooting them down wherever found. The field was one of great confu sion, tiie lioises running In every direction and the men for a few moments frantic, owing to the unfortunate way they were placed. Capt. Wallace, of K troop, was tlie only otllcei- killed, in tne nrii man rusii oi tne Indians those of them who had not guns attacked the troopers with knives, guns and tomahawks, and poor Capt. Wallace was struck down with a blow from a hatchet on tlie head. Father Craft, a Catholic mis sionary, received a bullet wound which will probably result fatally. Lieut. Garlington.of Arctic exploration fame, received a serious wound in the arm. A number of non-commissioned officers and privates were wounded, probably twcuty-Svo or thirty In all. Several of ih-se"aro likely to die. I cannot, at this time, give the names of all the wounded. As the di-pntch is being written tlie troops aie still pursuing the Indians In every di rection. The correspondent says the Indians must have been mad to have attacked the number of soldiers who were gather ing about, them, there being only 120 bucks. The treacherous deed, coming at the time it did, was a surprise, and the correspondent doubts if any of the Indians will be left alive to tell the tale when the soldiers get through with tho day's work. Tlie members of the Sev enth cavalry have once more shown themselves lierocs in deeds of daring. Singlo conflicts of great bravery were seen all over the field. UUcutaetl at Washington. Washington, Dec. 30. Secretary Proctor conferred with the president about an hour this morning regarding the Indian matter. In the absence of official details regarding yesterday's en gagement the secretary declined to talk about it Be said, however, inasmuch as Gen. Miles had already been given ample discretionary power to act in emergency, it was not necessary to send him any further directions. - He decided that no action was necessary to-day at this end of the line.

The announcement ! v!ij m!idn vesterdav that a deal signlfy- Ine much to the live stock interests of the country Is Oil foot, the exact nature of which is known only to the parties in- I terested. It leaked out. however, that ' the movement looks to nothing short of the complete control of the Union stooK yards of St. Louis and the National stock yards of East St. Louis by the packers, with Hammond, of Baltimore, cninliiir in for a share in the I amalgatlon. Armour and Swift, of , Chicago, and the representatives , of Nelson Morris, of Chicago, I and Hammond, of Paltimoro, met in con j ference in this city last Saturday. John ' M. lllasmore, who handles J he meats , of Hammond, of Baltimore, declares ' that ho knows nothing respecting the I objects of the packers' meeting. He said it may mean a consolidation of the two yardsat East St. Louis, but he had an idea this meeting was called to lore stall the possible opening of a new yard. Chicago, Jan. 3. Messrs. Armour, Morris and Swift, of tho big packing firms, declare that the statement in the dispatch from St. Louis to the effect that thev were" about to purchase the Union stock yards at that city and the National Stock yards at East St. Louis is untrue. A CAVE OF CARDIFFS Said to Have then Found by a Kentucky Ksplorer. Boston, Jan. 3. Peter Brezedine, of Bee Springs, Ky., writes here of some wonderful paleontologlcal discoveries made by him in that part of tho state. He says: "I explored what is known as the Hundred-Pome cave, about six miles east of Mammoth cave. In it I found evidence of a race of human beings of great antiquity. In niches of the cave I counted over 2,000 mummified skele tons or bodies of what must have been a large and very superior race of men, evi dently dating back beyond our history of Adam and tho garden of Eden many thousand years. The bodies are in an excellent state of preservation, and I in tend to remove about ten of them at once to Boston for the benefit of the scientific world.' SPARKS FROM THE WIRES.
