The occasion of the gathering, was a performance on the tight-rope The acrobats, Andreas Kolter and Francis Pergowitch, were to appear on the rope, which had been stretched from the fifth story of the court house to a window in an opposite house, a distance of 240 feet. The acrobats were to meet mid-way, and then to pass each other. When the clock struck 12 the acrobats emerged from their respective windows, dressed in tights, and without balance poles. Kolter walked rather cautiously, while Pergowitch came to meet him from the opposite direction with a nervous quick step. At last they met, and the suspense of the crowd changed the next moment to a feeling of indescrib able horror. Pergowitch suddenly ut tered an angry exclamation, and dealt Kolter a terrible blow on the head. Kolter staggered and fell, but in so doing succeeded in clutching the rope with one hand, while with the other he grasped the leg of his assailant. Pergowitch now fell likewise, but pass ed his right arm around the rope, so that he lmng upon it in comparative security. And now began a life and death struggle. Kolter, with his right hand, tried to drag Pergowitch from the rope, while Pergowitch kicked Kolter with his right foot, and with his left hand endeavored to loosen his antagonist’s hold. No one was able to interfere, and the result, it wits easy to foresee, must be the death of one or both the acrobats. Many women faint ed while strong men wept like chil dren. NVhat added to the general de spair was the appearance of Kolter’s young wife at the open window, from which her husband a few moments be fore had set out u|>on his fatal walk. Iler piteous screams were heard above the din below, and her appeals to Per gowitch to spare her husband’s life would have moved the heart of an Apache. The struggle in mid-air last ed perhaps a minute, when Kolter sud denly uttered a last cry and lost his hold. He full to the ground striking it violently and expiring instantly. While the people gathered around the corpse of poor Kolter, his murderer on the tight rope managed to get on his feet again. NVith a diabolical expres sion on his face he uttered a veil of tri umph. The Prefect of Police ordered Per gowitch to surrender. In case he should not <lo so within five minutes lie would be shot down like a dog. Finally he raised himself to his feet and run quickly to the court house window, where he surrendered, beg ging that he might lie protected from violence. There w.is great danger of his being executed by the people, who loudly clamored that the murderer be given up to them ; but the military by a bayonet charge cleared the public square. Pergowitch being asked what caused him to perpetrate this crime, said that there had been a grudge be tween him and Kolter ever since the latter had married young Rosita Ser- ganoff, a Polish girl of rare beauty. Kolter, in a tit of jealousy, had told him he knew one or the other must die on this account. Andreas Kolter was the youngest member of the dis tinguished family of acrobats of that name. In “Bill Dadd’s” account of an in terview with the Modocs, near Sacra mento, published in the Record, is the following in reference to the march of the Indians thence: We gathered from the officers the following incidents of the march of the Modocs from Fort Klamath to Red ding. The prisoners were conveyed in twenty-one wagons and well cared for. The average marches were about twenty miles a day, though one day thirty-live miles were made, the com mand being obliged to make that dis tance to reach water. At Whittle’s ferry, One-eyed Dixie, who had ac companied the party from the stock ade, at Fort Klamath, left them, with an affectionate farewell, and after pro curing a fresh horse rode fifty-four miles further to Dorris’ and Fair child’s ranches, where she got Artena C'hocusand Posey, and with them over took the command at Ball’s Ranch, where they encamped. The parting between these squaws and their peo ple was very affecting. Those squaws who had been faithful to the whites during all the trouble, presented their friends with several new calico dresses, and other clothing of which they stood much in need. When the command reached the Forest House, aliout five miles from Yreka, and camped there, a Cherokee, who has a Modoc wife, asked permis sion of Captain Anderson to present the female prisoners with a bundle he had in his hand, and directed the Cap tain to observe that nothing contraband was contained therein. The bundle contained four calico dresse«, and be sides these the donors gave $4 in coin. When the command reached Shasta, the school, boys, numbering about twenty-five, marched out two miles and escorted them into town, deploy ing in front of the school house, and giving three cheers as the command passed. When it left the boys escort ed them out, but in rather ragged and broken detachments. At Redding nearly the entire population visited the camp. At the Junction the offi cers who came west bid the leading captives good-bye, and by several of them were thanked for the kindness shown them. i I W ages in E urope .—Sixty cents is a good day’s wages for a working man anywhere in Europe. In the Tyrol silk region and in Italy, they often do not get more than ten cents. In the country in Germany, ten cents is tho common pay. Women there often get but five cents. In Sweden, men often work from four o’clock in the morning till nine in the evening, and do not get any more. During the late war, many poor women in Berlin were hired to knit stoc tings for the soldiers for five cents. The profits of the poor who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in the streets, or act as sutlers, do not aver age more than three or four per cent. Barliers in Berlin, since the raising of their prices, get five cents for hair cut ting and two and a half cents for shav ing. Servants at hotels get from three to eight dollars a month. Servant girls in private families often get but ten dollars a year. Sometimes these classes can not get work at any price.
