THEY WILL FIGHT.
Strong; Probabilities that the Indians
Will liegln Trouble Today.
Denver, Col., Dec, 17, 1890. A spec
ial to the jVeu-s by courier, from Daily's
ranch, S. I), gays "Things have about
reached a crisis here. Indians are seen
in all directions ; we prepared for engage
ment any moment. The whites have
pickets thrown out and report seeing large
numbers of Indians. Scouts report that
we would be attacked this morning and
the signal would be setting tire to the
grass. The grass has been set on fire
and a number of ranches are seen burn
ing. They may not attack our camp
till night or tomorrow morning. A
rancher reports several white men killed
on Cheyenne River.
BY CABLE.
I'ai-nell Sustains Bodily Injury.
Dublin, Dec. 17, 1890. Though Par
nell suffered intense pain from the effects
of lime thrown in his eyes yesterday,
he was able at midnight o make an
address -from the window of the Victoria
hotel at ' Kilkenny to a large crowd.
During the address his face was kept
covered with bandages. He detailed the
events of the day, and the crowd became
exasperated at the manner in' which he
had been treated. Alany threats of ven
geance were made.
This morning Paraell's breakfast was
served to him in bed. A close examina
of his eyes revealed the fact that his
sight was not injured, The surgeon de
clares; however, that inflammation may
set in. He ordered Parnell to keep his
eyes closed and that hot water foments be
constantly applied. . It is not likely that
lie will be allowed to 'leave his room
today. ,
In a published interview ' Maurice
Healy is represented as saying that as
surance can be given the public that no
settlement of the political crisis is pos
sible by arbitration. In regard to the
contest he said "It 'must be fought to
the bebitter end."
Notwithstanding the injunction issued
against suppressed " United Ireland" the
paper has again appeared. Hereafter
the paper will be entitled the Insnpres
abU United Ireland.

200 men on Cheyenne river and 300 at
Standing Rock Teservatiou, who would

should have positive assurance with the

AST VXKATC1CAL SON.
Cut His Father's Throat to Obtain Some
Life Insurance
. Chicago, Dec. 15. A crime of sur
passing diabolism and dramatic sequel
took place to-day in a little tenement
on West Chicago avenue. Carl Holtz,
an aged widower, lived alone with his
son Paul, aged 16. To-night the boy
took to bed with him an old table-knife,
and after his father had gone to sleep,
raised up in bed and cut his father's
throat from ear to ear, severing the jug
ular vein and windpipe. The youthful
patricide then rushed to the West Chi
cago Avenue police station, and declared
that his father had attempted suicide.
When tne police, with a physician,
reached the house, the old man was still
alive, but could not speak. He had
crawled from bed, and on a piece of yel
low wrapping paper, which was bespat
tered with blood, he wrote in German,
"Paul Holtz did it." The paper was
the first intimation the police had of the
true nature of the affair. The doctor
bandaged up the man's throat, and to
the surprise of every one, he uttered a
few hoarse words. With his linger
pointing to his son, he said: "You
have killed me, Paul, but can never en
joy the money. God will punish you."
a tew moments later the old man ex
pired. The money referred to was $2,000
life insurance.

Blondin Still Active.
Thirty-one years ago JL Blondin made
his famous journey across Niagara Falls
on the high rope. It may surprise many
of our readers to learn that the veteran -gymnast
is not only still living, but that
he was a few davB since, although now .
in his 67th year, again astonishing large
crowds in the neighborhood of London r
in the old style and with the old agility,
and daring. The occasion was a two days'
fete at Brockwell park, Heme hill, prior ,
to the handing over of the beantitully '
wooded estate to the public, and Blondin
gave his high rope (seventy feet) perfor
mance twice a day. The hempen track
was not only high, but unusually long. .
And upon it he went through a varied
entertainment of more than an hour's
duration.
Appearing in glittering brazen armor,
he ran and skipped along the cord blind
folded (by means of a sack pulled over
his head) as well as free, and subsequent- .
ly carried his son uponjiis back, stood
upon his head, and rode a bicycle with
grooved wheels. His piece de resistance,
however, as in. the olden times, was his
appearance with an oil stove strapped to
his back, which stove he balanced (as
well himself) on the centre of the rope
while he prepared,, cooked and "tossed" ;
a savory omelette. Belfast News. '
Curious Punctuation.
The. following - specimens of curious
punctuation are given bv the Printer's .
Register: "A man was killed by a rail
road car running into Boston, 'supposed
to be deaf." A man writ.ps "Wuhovo Aa.
cided to erect a school-house large enough
to accommouate nve Hundred scholars
five stories high." On a certain railway
the following luminous direction ...was
printed: "Hereafter, when trains in an
opposite direction are approaching each
other on separate lines conductors and
engineers will be requested to bring their
resieciive trains to a (lead halt betore the
point of meeting, and be careful not to
proreed till each train has passed the oth
er." "Wanted, a saddle-horse for a lady
weighing about 950 pounds." An Iowa
editor says : "We have received a basket
of fine grajes from our friend W., for
which he will please accept our compli
ments, some of which are nearly two in
ches in diameter." A newspawer contain
ed this: "We have two school-rooms,
sufficiently large to accommodate three
hundred pupils one above another."
A Pneumatic Rifle.
Paul Gifford, the Original inventor of
the Paris pneumatic-ixwt system, has
made a pneumatic rifle which is said to
le a wonder. It is dpscribed this way :
The weapon is much lighter tmin any of
the army rifles now in use. ltreseuibles
the magazine gun in that a steel cartridge
about a span and a half long and as thick
as a man's thumb is attached to the barrel
by means of a screw. This cartrige con
tains 300 Ehots.'which can lie discharged
as rapidly or slowly as a man desires.
At a recent trial the ball traveled with
wonderful accuracy and penetrated deep
into the wall of the shooting room. - As
soon as one cartridge is emptied of its 300
shots another can be screwed on the gun
in the twinkling of an eye. Mr. Giftbrd
says that the 300 shots in a cartridge can
be produced at a cost of aboif't 3 pence.
Thegnn itself' can be manufactured for

The Thought of Immortality.
If the soul be immortal it requires to
be cultivated with attention, not only
for what we call the time of life, but for
that which is to follow I mean eternitv :
and the least neglect in this point may
be attained with endless consequences.
If death were the final dissolution of be
ing, the wicked would be great gainers
by it, by being delivered at once from
their bodies, their souls and their vices ;
but as the soul is immortal, it has no
other means of being freed from its evils,
nor any safety for it, but in becomig
very good and very wise; for it carries
nothing with it but its bad or good deeds,
its virtues and vices, which are commonlv
the consequences of the education it has
received, and in themselves constant
causes of eternal happiness or misery.
Socrates. ."...-.".'
It is told of Abbe Liszt that on one of
his concert tours through Germany he
was tendered a banquet at a small town
by his admirers. When it was found
that thirteen were seated at the table.
the egenral embarrassment was checked
by Liszt remarking : "Do Dot be alarmed
at such a trifle. 1 can eat for two per
sons." ' ' . '
