However , the next morning the matter was revived nnd Johnson put under arrest by the po lice , He explains that ho hired the girl to oiek peas at 25 cents per bushel and that she was to remain until his garden ing season was over. Almost equal censure - sure is duo the mother of the girl , who seems to have fallen to the lowest depth when she would consent that so young n rfrl should go to remain over night in a nouso alone with a colored man who does not bear the best reputation. Johnson will have a hearing and bo hold on a charge of rape if found guilty of any criminal act toward the girl , as she is under the ago of consent. NOTAUIES COMMISSIONED. Henry Grebe , Omaha ; I.

Dosed Pool iio With Castor OH nml Other Medicines. ROSEDUU AOENCV , Juno 27. The Chat tanooga Commercial in a column editor ttj , ial of Juno 18 , explodes with a flourish o sweeping assertions , evidently under at immense pressuro.over what it is ploasei te call the "Indian Bureau Boodlcrs. " I imagines it has found a largo and rebus case of crookedness at Rosebud Indiai agency. The editor charges the agon and farmer with petty and grand larceny cony , robbery and nearly overythinj else , murder oxcopted. We have m friends to reward or enemies to punlsl in the Indian service , but wo happen t < know something about the allairs o that agency. Wo know there i no foundation for the accusations of tin Commerclal.and wo also know from wha source that paper derived its Intelligence The fountain is cracked and the strean is muddy , and the information is ontitlei to no consideration whatever. Wo tool it upon ourselves to send n represents Uve tQ the agency to ascertain the facts From reliable porous it was learned tun Rbout-Aueust 10,188.5 a man by the nam of Underbill , from Ohio , was nppointoi agency physician , during thendministra turn of Agent James G , Wright. Abou a year after , at the solicitatioi af Dr. Underbill , Ernest V. Underhil was given n position nt tlio agency b ; Agent Wright , Soon after his nrrlvn thera It was discovered that ho was i Lara drinker nnd an opium-eater. Dr Underfill being in very poor health , am Kmttned to hi bed the most of the time the son had frco nccc s to the govern ment dispensary , where ho could revel In stimulants nnd anodynes of all kinds. At lirst he npimared to have some little control over his unnatural appetite but after his father was forced to resign and go homo , ho became n disgrace to the service. Colonel L. r. Spencer of New York , was appoin.ed agent and relieved Agent U right , October 1,18SO , and his attention was first called to the bad conduct of Krnest Underbill by see ing him partly intoxicated one day nnd the next ho would bo stupid and wholly unlit for duty. At times he would be cranky and display ungorernabln tem per ami at all times ho had : ui in nno de sire to stir up strife among the other employes. Ono of Krnest's many de lusions appears to have br.cn that in his person was combined the attributes popularly ascribed to Ctcsar's wife nnd all else was "shifting sand. " Pregnant with this Idea ho sought to im press frcsli arrivals with his convictions and If his cllbrts failed as they usually ( liditlioy too wcro vile. Ho lacked moral qualities nnd showed a disposition to bo vicious. During their absence and be fore another physician was appointed he assumed the responsibility ot dispensing medicines and m some of his fits of mental aberration ho would amuse himself by giving In dians tincture capsicum , Spanish lly , and crolon oil. Old-red-noso , Iron- shooter , and licnr-runs'in-thc-woods , complained bitterly and said that Crazy- cat , ( the name given to him by the In dians ) had given them medicine which had nearly killed them. On ono occasion Old-man-nfraid-of- mother - in-law. called nt the dispensary for a bottle o f cod liver oil , where with to allay a trouble - some cough , nnd Earnest in ono of Ills frenzied moods gave him a pint-bottloful of carbolic acid , nnd but for the timely in terference of an employe , when tlio Indian was about to take his lirst dose this noted red man would have , presently , been chasing buffalo across the plains of the new Jerusalem. During : i tnuldcn nnd violent uttnck of hallucination , ho got he agent up out of bud : it midnight and asked to have the police force stationed around his house ns ho was sure , nnd in sisted Hint Crow Dog's band of Indians were coming to murder him and ils family that night. About December 25 Agent Spencer thought proper to in quire into the matter and nn investiga tion found that Mr. Underbill had drank ill the alcohol , tinctures nnd everything .lint contained any stimulants and had eaten all the morphine , opium , chloral uid everything possessing any narcotic l > ropcrties. This at once accounted for : iis strange behavior and ho was prompt ly dismissed from the service. This is the great reservoir who peddles oleomar garine , cheese and slander in Chatta nooga and furnishes the Commercial with its information. It will bo remembered that General Iiarllold was killed by n crank , Queen Victoria narrowly escaped being killed by a crank and that Agent Osborno of the Ponca agency was recently obliged to kill his cranky farmer. This crank was not killed but forcibly ejected from the government ollioo and "hrcd" oft"tho reservation for the good of the service. The only way of accounting for his im posing on the Chatanoogn paper is that no is a very good talker during his lucid intervals. The charges of stealing as alleged by the Commercial is the merest kind of rot as Inspector Banister nnd Special Agent Parsons of the Indian department have recently visited Rosebud in their inspect ing tours , nnd found everything very sat isfactory. The Indians are peaceable , and making line progress in farming. ' The schools are in good condition and are well attended. The agent is an in- tclligent.practica ) manwith broad views , a soul above petty larceny and is doing good work. IT WON'T BAKE BIIKAD.

How Convicts Get Out of the Great New York "Pen , " Henry Stewart Takes French iToxcd tin In n Ijnumlry Case Tlio Ingenuity Displayed by tlio Zebra. People living In the river towns tweuty-tivo to forty miles north of this city are interested in a novel kind of hunting. A convict has escaped from Sing Sine , nnd every no'cr-do-wcll and many reputable but financially bard pressed citizens in that vicinity are keep- ng their eyes peeled in tiio hope that hey may recapture the fugitive and so- : uro the reward of i ? . " > 0 oll'ercd by the state. Convict hunting is so rare n sport that It has not been reduced ton science , and the hunters in the present instance confine their operations to sly strolls along the river side and through the iVooos , nnd to sharp scrutiny of nil .lamps and hapless looking strangers generally. Few cases are ou record since the opening of Sing Sing prison where the return of a convict has been otl'cctcd by a citizen , but tlio inducement of tlm reward is Milllcicnt to cause a glow of hone whenever it is known that a run away is at large. In tlio course of a visit to the prison lately the writer learned from Chief Keeper James Connaughtou the story ofTin Tin : itr.cr.XT KSCAIM : , ho first in more than two years. Keeper Jonnaughton said : "This convict , Henry Stewart , was em ployed In tlio laundry. Ho had been there some time and so know the ways ot the prison thoroughly. To understand how ho could plan his peculiar escape , which was tlio cleverest operation of the kind that ever happened In my experi ence , you must know that our laundry work is not of tlio job character. It is entirely upon now goods. Manufacturers send hero hundreds of do/.ens of new shirts and the convicts prepare them for the showcase and the retail trade. 1 presume - sumo you may have bought many a pleeo of goods that had the finishing touches put on it hero. Shipments of the shirts back to the manufacturers are made every morning. Stewart was employed in packing the cases at the timo. Como to the laundry and I will show you how it is douo. " Tlio keeper led the way to the building that has been used as a laundry since the lire destroyed the original building a few weeks aco. T ho cases , when ready lor the freight wagon , are put into a small hallway. Several empty cases wore standing thoro. They arc of n uniform size and shape , ordinary looking boxes , about three feet and a half long by ono and a half wide and two deep. The cov ers are easily removed or adjusted. "There , " continued the keeper , "you see it was THE WOHK OF HUT HALF A MINUTE. when the under keeper's attention was momentarily directed elsewhere for him to slip oil * the cover of an empty case and get into it. Of course W had a con federate somewhere who wo have not been able to discover. Every detail of the operation bad been carefully and thoroughly attended to in advance , Not only had a hole boon made in the lower end to allow of the entrance of fresh air , but the case in which he packed himself had been marked with the number that identified a case in tlio bill of lading , which was to bo sent on that day. It was No. 85 and the gcnuiuo case of that number was left behind in the hall. Ton cases wore shipped that day. When the teamster was lilting them on to his wagon ho said of ono of them : "This case seems to have its weight all in ono ond. " The convict who was assisting him understood him to say that the case had more weight than the others , or something to that cenoral oll'ect , and replied - plied , 'Those are Troy goods , you know,1 moaning by that that tno goods were of , extra heavy material. "Well , nothing was thought of it then. A short time after the wagon had left for the depot ono of the man came to mo and said that Stewart had complained of being sick that morning and had , ' GONE TO III3 CELL. And the man asked mo to assign some body to assist him in carrying cases about the laundry. I did so , and wont down to the laundry to make my round of the shops , i po all through tlio shop twelve times a day , sometimes more , and at the laundry I asked where Stewart was. The superintendent did not know. Ho was not in his cell. My suspicions wcro , of course , aroused. Noticing a case standing in the hall. I asked what it was. 'Oh , ' said the superintendent , 'that is an empty case. ' I put my baud on it and found that it was packed full. 'That set tles it , ' I said'the man is gone. ' Just as fast as I could go 1 went to the depot and hunted up the car into which the cases hud been placed ; 'Ihero wcro nine there all right. The tenth , No. 8.1 , was uncovered and empty. In it was a small saw and a chisel , and a suit of convict's clothes. Stiiwart was very much absent. The' trick was completely successful. Somebody had furnished him a suit of CITIZEN'S CLOTHES , nnd ho got out ot the car in them. " "Has tills method been tried botoro ? " "Not in my experience. You may bo sure that it won't happen again. I have every case examined now before it goes into the wagon. " "Are attempts frequently made ? " "No. It is seldom that any method is tiled. Prisoners will escape , however , do what wo will. You see hero are up wards of 1,500 men all the time. I will defy any system of prison supervision to prevent communication with each other and the outside world. One feature of thispiison that makes communication outsldo comparatively easy , though it is no simple task , is the daily presence of S00 ! citizens who work hero. If wo bhotild catch a citizen in the act of secret com munication with n prisoner.or fix it upon him by other evidence , wo should try him , and get him into the ponitontiarv ; but that is ditlicult. Whenever Wo have the slightest suspicion that ono of the citizen employes is dangerous in this re spect we fire him out without ceremony. Still , convicts the world over find means of communication , and they always will. Former ATTEJirrS TO ESCAl'K wore made by making n rush for the gates when the citizens went homo , or trying to slip out unobserved with them. That is impossible now and had been for a lonjr time , for wo make the rule that citizens shall not leave before the 'nil- right' bell sounds , which means that all the convicts in the prison have been counted and locked up in their ceils. Then the gates are opened and the citi zens can go out without danircr. The scheme most resorted to for escape la taking to the river , Some of thorn have been ingenious and successful , and others simply daring and foolhardy nnd unsuc cessful. A few years ago u convict worked in the machine shop who made elaborate preparations to get away. He invented a hat with a tuba projecting from the top. It was his intention to take the water and swim to a considera ble distance under the surface , getting his air to breathe through the tube , which ran from above his head to his noi > c nnd lips. Ho had got everything ready an'l had sot the day. On that morning , in the course of my rounds through the shops I noticed that UK M'JkS FIDHKTY , Ho kept looking about him , could not look at mo , and yet kept watching mo and blundered in his work. I asked him whht was the mutter , You , sec , the ma' ' ferity of wen who conceive a plan of thii kind am sure to give some hint of it as ( lie tuuy approaches for Iti operation , and wo get to rccogni/.o the symptoms. Ho made confused answers to my qucs' linns , nnd 1 had him marched to my of- lleo and searched. Ho wore about his neck a blessing , such as Human Catholics are accustomed to carry , and nt the othqr end of the ribbon by which , it was sus pended lie had attached n photograph of Ills wifo. Tied to the picture , which rested on his back between Ins shoulder blades , was a letter which gave the whole thing away. It' was addressed to his wife , and ho had written it so that in case he should bo shot in the attempt it would explain to her how it happened. It was n pretty fair scheme , and whether it would have succeeded if his nervousness had not betrayed him , can only bo con jectured , lli.s naiuo was Schu.ll. Men have managed to r.scAi-E nv TIII : nirr.it , though , and not get caught. A curious case of the kind occurred during my ser vice hero. The prisoner got out of a second-story window of n building near the water's edge , left all his clothes , every scrap , behind him , and disap peared. No trace was over discovered of him after that. Whether ho was drowiu'd or mot friends who wore wait ing for him in a boat cannot bo told , but the probability is nil in favor of the latter supposition , for if ho had drowned it seems reasonable to suppose that his body would have turned up sonic timo. " "Aro men caught who take to the river ? " "Yes ; the last case occurred about a year ago. A man was at work in the foundry. It is not far from the north gate. A guard is constantly on the look out from a corner of the wall , and ho js armed with a sixteen shooter. There is also a guard on the ground at the cato similarly armed. A basin of the river lets in at that point , on the further side of which are several open buildings , in which a man might have a chance of hiding if ho could get in. The convict 1 speak of took advantage of the moment when the under kXt1 > cr was being re lieved nnd slipped out of his gang. Ho made for tlio cdgo of the basin , keeping HIS EVE ON THE UUAUU on the wall. Ho did not know that there a9 _ a guard at the cato , and so took no pains to avoid being seen by him. Ho succeeded in escaping the notice of the man on the wall , but when ho was about half way across the basin the guard at the cato caught sicht of him and shouted. The convict did not reply , but kept on swimming bravely. The guard called out three times , ordering the fellow to como back , but the fugitive paid no at tention. The guard was then privileged to fire at him but ho refrained from doing so because ho saw that ho could run around to the other side of the basin and intercept the convict just about ns ho would bo getting out of the water. This he did , and easily captured the man. The convict said that ho had been so ab sorbed in keeping his attention upon the guard on the wall that he hnd not heard the order from the gate guard to como back. Had ho heard it ho would un doubtedly have returned , for the con victs beliovq that the guard will shoot without hesitation , nnd indeed he would If ho saw no other way of surely prevent ing a man's escape. "Speaking of that north gate reminds mo of a curious thing'that ' is a FEATURE OF T.1II3 . 1'UISON. Prisoners have to pass. In and out there every day to and from the shops just out side. They have a habit as they pass of picking at tiio gate with their finger nails , each ono chipping oil'a splinter of wood , as much as ho can get in ono scratch. Wo do all wo can to prevent it , but it is nevertheless necessary from time to time to repair the gate , on account of the cav ity made by so many hundred digs into it with the lingers. The idea is probably that constant chipping away splinters will finally wear n hole big enough for some ono to crawl through , and in this hopeless task they all lake part , though even if it succeeded only ono could possi- ' lily make use of it out of the thousands who co-operate to make the hole , and chance might fix it so that ono who had done the least toward partccting the scheme should bo the ono to profit by it. " A DOUBLE ELOPEMENT. Birmingham Orcatly Excited Over tlio Flight of Four Ijovers on the Same Train. Birmingham , Conn..has been greatly excited for some days past over a double elopement that occurred recently. Henry Clayton , a married man , and Mrs. Al Hanchett and llobert J. Galpln and Nellie Garling disappeared together , and nothing has been heard from either of i the couples since. Clayton , who was employed in nn orgnn factory , has been known as a good deal of a masher for the past year or two. When not al work ho always dressed in the most noisy style ho could attain and seemed to make n business of trying to break ns many feminine hearts ns possible. Some months ago ho happened to meet Mrs. Hanchett on the street. Ho was struck with her appearance and immedi ately tried to got up a llirtntion , in which ho was quite successful. Mrs. Hanchett is a tall , handsomely formed woman , with n pretty face , mid Clayton was much charmed with her , wlulo she , in turn , seemed to bo equally fascinated by Clay ton's .seductive smile nnd masherliko manners. The flirtation was continued nnd become so marked that it was town talk. Clayton and Mrs. Hanchott acted as much like two young lovers as possible and seemed to bo in each other's com pany all the timo. Finally Clayton pro posed that they elope , and as Mrs. Han chett was willing they took the first con venient train for New Haven , whence they probably went to Now lork. Before going Mrs. Hanchett took possession of several thousand dollars worth of diamonds mends and $1,000 in money. Clayton has a wife and two children , and Mrs. linn- chett also has children , which slio loft in her husband's care. Robert J. Galpin and Miss Nellie Gar- ling , it is thought , left town on the same train with Clayton and Mrs. Hanchett. They are supposed to be in Now Haven at present. Galpin , who has been mar ried for thrco or four years , has made love to Miss Garling for over six months past and had been trying hard all the time , it is said , to induce her to run away with him. Mis-s 'Garlinjr , who is described as n line looking girl of nine teen , nt last consented Galpin telling her that Mrs. Hanchett was about to elope with her lover , and so , without bidding any of her friends gooc byo. she packed a small valise and started off with Galpiu. The hitter leaves a wife in destitute " circumstances. Cooling ThoiiIloela'in ' the Corridor. Washington Letter in Baltimore Ameri can : A stranger passing along the corri dor in front of the postmaster general's oflico this afternoon might have supposed that ono of these old-time Maryland dele gations about which ho had hoard so much had swooped down on the post- ollice department , or fh'nt a committee of Wisconsin democrats had como ou to oiler their allegiance to Mr. Vilas for vice-president. Snvonty-six men of vary ing stature , form nnd shades of complexion , sat , stood , walked and lounged about the corri dor , some laughing and talking , and some wearing an anxious look. They were the men who want to bo postollico inspsctors , and who have just been ex amined by the civil service commission. Postmaster General Vilas was going through with the task of inspecting them individually before making up his mind to make them inspectors of men , nnd each man was in turn called in , talked to and looked at , to see what manner of man ho was. Mr , Vilas has the report of the civil service examination before him , and the appointments will bo made to-morrow.

A Dawson , Ga , , correspondent of the American Recorder , relates the follow ing : When General Bragc's army evac uated Corinth , Miss. , In 180' . ' , there was a great deal of sickness nmong the soldiers , nearly one-fourth of tiio army being unfit for sorvico. Captain S. U. Weston , of company II , Fifth Georgia regiment , and myself ( be longing to company K , same regiment ) , were on the sick list nnd not nblo to march , but still able to do light duty. So wo wcro put in charge of the sick of our regiment , who wcro to bo sent down on a separate train. While wo wore at the depot getting the men aboard and looking to their comfort , wo noticed another squad to our left , as wo faced the town , loading another train with quartermasters' and commissary stores , and everybody seemed to be In a hurry and in some confusion. Kvery straggler was put to work , and many of the sick were made to work who ought to have been in bed. Some boisterous , over bearing fellow was bossing the job , and if ho ordered a man to go to work and ho refused ho repotted him at oneo to Gen eral Bragg , who seemed to bo superin tending the whole movement in person. Finally n young soldier came along on Ills way to the ears tor the sick. Ho ap peared to bo about twenty years of ago , tall and handsome , but i > ale nnd delicate. The man ( or briito ) commanding the work-squad saw him , and yelled out : "Say , young man , fall in here and go to work ! Heave these goods into these cars , anil be quick about it. " The voiing man replied : " 1 am not able to work. If I were I would bo with my company. " "Eh ? won't work. chV We'll sco about that. General ! " halloaed out to General Bragg , who was passing , "here's ' a man who refuses to work , " pointing at the youth , who stood as firm as a rook. General Bragg stopped and gazed at the young man , his eyes blazing as no other man's eyes cau blaze , and repeated the order to help load these cars at once. The young man repeated his former answer , that ho was not able to work ; had ho been nblo to work ho would have been able to march nnd would be with his command. The sroneral's eyes seemed to tlarh lire as he exclaimed : "What ! you dare to disobey my or ders ? " "I do , " calmly replied the young man. The general called n lieutenant of a Louisiana company of regulars doing1 guard duly , and said : "Takn six of your company and carry this man to that grove and shoot him. " The lieutenant called out six of his men and ordered them lo load Iheir guns , and while Ihoy were doi.ig so General Bragg beckoned the lieutenant , stepped behind a garden wall , spoke lo him in a low louo not heard by any ono else and walked away. The guard marched the young man to the grove , about one hun dred to the right , placed him upon a stool against a largo oak and started to blindfold him , which he would not per mit , but took oiVhis gold watch and chain anil a line gold ring from his linger , handed them to the lieutenant nnd re quested him to send them to his mother , at the same time writing her name and address on a picco of paper and handing it to Iho lieutenant , resumed his position ngainst the tree , nnd with n proud smile upon his lips , nnd without a tremor in Ins voice , he said : "Now , sir , I am ready. " The lieutenant stopped off ten paces , brought his men to "attention" and com manded , in a loud voice , distinctly heard " Aim ! " by us : "Ready1 I became so weak I thought I should faint , and caught hold of n small oak for support and closed my eyes to shut out the awful deed. There sat the young man gazing into the muzzles of six muskets pointed at his' heart , n single ono of which might send his soul into eternity in the twinkling of an eye. Ho looked on as calmly as if ho w.is looking ut a camera and simply having his photograph taken. But the lieutenant's next com mand was : "Recover arms ! " which was willingly and promptly obeyed. The lcutcnaht ! then stepped up to the young man bade him rise , grasped his hand in admiration , returned ills watch and ring which ho received with a polite bow and and the word "thanks" and walked away as unconcerned as if nothing unusual had occurred. Tlio lieutenant and his men returned to their former position , within a few paces of where wo were , anil pretty soon General Bragg returned and asked : " \Vhoro is the boy ? " "Gone , " said the lieutenant. "What did you do ? " asked the general. "Just exactly as you directed , " replied the lieutenant. "Ho handed mo his watch and ring to send to his mother , took his position , refused to bo b'ind- ' folded , said ho was ready , and never bat ted his eyes oven while wo were at 'aim.1 He's the brnvesl man 1 over saw m my life. " And tears came into the lieuten ant's oyes. "Who is he , and where is ho ? " de manded the general , evincing much in terest and looking in every direction. "I don't know , " answered the lieuten ant. "Here's his mother's name and address , " handing him a slip of paper. Ho glanced at it , put it in his vest poc ket , nnd said : "Well , find him. I'll promote him. " And away they went to hind the young hero. But whether they over found him , and if so , what came of it. I never know. When General Brace firstgavo tlio order to shoot the young man , I suppose there were a hundred soldiers who heard it. They soon scampered away , some to work , some to hide out , and others too sick to do cither , took the places assigned thorn in the cars. And only Captain Wcs- ton and myself , nnd , perhaps , two or thrco others , watched this episode to the end. Those others all thought , and these still living think till Ihis day , that General Bragg had that young man shot. Brngc was , Indeed , a sovcro disciplinarian , but not so bad nt heart as many deem him. Belle of Bourbon Ten-Year-Old Whisky. $1.25 per quart bottle at druggists , gro cers , wino merchants.

OMAHA , Nob. , Jilno 29. To the Editor of the DDE : A good deal of attention has been given to extortions and impo sitions of railroads while the biggest of all frauds the express monopoly has been painfully neglected. This is es pecially true of the Wclls-Fargo and American. Their methods of doing business amount to more than un im position highway robbery would bo a more appropriate appellation. Thiiy are not satisfied with exacting schedule rates , but have served notice on consignees of goods that they will absolutely refuse to deliver consignments unless attached charges nro fully paid ; no mutter If the same aggregate llvo or ten times the actual schedule rale of charges. Now I would respectfully inquire If the extortions nnd villainous methods of the express company nro not subjects over which the state railway commission hayo jurisdiction J Cerium it is that said commission could find ample facts to justify n verdict ngainst \Volls-Fargo \ company for the meanest and lowest kinds of business methods. When n cor poration refuses to deliver goods to con signees upon payment of proper charges of transportation , 1 think It is about time to mvoko the authority of law. and thus convince those corporate highwayman that while they thrive the business of the country must uo permitted at least to ex ist. When noco-ijiiry I can give specific facts of the most glaring impositions. -Wi -x MOST PERFECT MADE U oil liy the Untttxl SUtos Government.
