Narrow Escape of a Delegation] of Buf-
falo Aldermen.
BUFFA LO, Feb. 12.—The Delaware, Lacks.-
wanna and Western passenger train which
left here carrying a delegation of Buffalo
aldermen and others on their way to
Brooklyn to inspect pavements met with
aserious accident at Groveland, a little
station about seven miles beyond Mount
Morris.
The accident was caused by the collision
of the express train with wild cat engine
N0. 17. The train was running at high
speed when it struck the engine, just as
the latter was moving off the main track
on a. switch. The express engine was
thrown to the east side and turned over;
its tender was on the other side.
The wild ,
cat engine was demolished and was on the '
west side of the track.
James Powers, a freight brakeman, of
Buffalo, who was on the engine, was killed.
Albert Englehart, fireman on the freight
engine, was badly crushed, and died at 1-
o’clock W'ednesday morning. -
The engineer and fireman of both engines
were seriously hurt.
Engineer James Powers, uncle of the
dead brakeman, and Geary VVelch, his fire-
man, were severely injured.
Charles Schriver, engineer of the freight
engine, was very badly out about the head.
The passenger train consisted Of three

track for a distance of twenty rods was
torn up, and the rails twisted. It is mar-
velous that the accident could have hap-
pened with so little damage to the passen—
ger coaches. A wrecking train from Mount ,
Morris arrived shortly after the accident,
and the tracks were cleared.

TWO BAN-KS SHUT UP SHOP.
The Cashier of Both Is Missing and
Ugly Rumors Are Afloat.
AYERS, Mass, Feb. 12.'—Tho First Na-
tional and the North Middlesex Savings
banks closed their doors Wednesday and
ugly rumors are afloat concerning them.
H. E. Spaulding, cashier Of both institu-
tions, has been missing from town since
Monday evening. Where he has gone to
no one here seems to know.
The exact financial condition of the
banks is not now known. A directors’
meeting will be held at once to arrange for
an investigation. 7 The officers and direct-
ors are very reticent, and nothing definite
can be obtained other than that they con—
sider that the banks are perfectly solvent,
and that not a dollar or bond on deposit
has been disturbed. The books will be ex'.
amined without delay. __
Col. Daniel Needham, formerly state
bank examiner, states that last \veek one
or two of the directors Of the North Mid-
dlesex bank asked him to examine the
bank. He replied that he was no longer
in that business, but finally consented as
an accommodation to them.
Monday night last Cashier Spaulding
said to one of the directors: “I see it is
spread on your minutes that you are going
to have Col. Needham examine the bank.
W'hen is he going to do it?”
“’l‘o-morrow,” was the director‘s reply.
“Have you any objection?"
“N o,” answered Mr. Spaulding. That
same night he sent a letter to his wife say-
ing that he would not be home that night,
bidding her good-by and telling her to kiss
the babies. He added, “Will explain to
morrow. ”
Col. Needham was in Boston to exam-
ine the accounts of. the bank with their
Boston correspondents, and has returned
to Ayer. Col. Needham advised the Ayer
bank Officials not to pay out any more
money until there had been an official in»
vestigation. Col. N eedham also stated that
a letter had been found which indicated
that Cashier Spaulding had been speculat- 1

The Kaiser's Eccentricities.
BERLIN, Feb. 11.-—The kaiser’s eccentrici-

to be imitating the mad King Louis of
Bavaria by taking unexpected trips here
and there and appearing where he is least
looked for. These peculiarities are much
more prominent now than when he first
ascended the throne. The kaiser exacts
the most rigid devotion from everybody,
and the promotion of the Count de Schlief-
fen to chief of staff is said to be prompted
by that officer’s obsequious courtesy to his
sovereign, whom Schlieffen everywhere
proclaims as a wonderful military genius,
uniting the qualities of Caesar and Hanni-
bal.

ten will be ready and armed with their
Krupp guns before the summer, and the
remaining eight are to be completed early

300,000 men could be concentrated within
the forts. King Charles is giving personal

'A'BILLION FOR THE INDIANS.
Wars with the 'Bedskins That Have Been
Costly to Uncle Sam.
Since the 4th of July, 177 6, when this gov-
ernment began, the Indians have cost the
Pequot chief met the Pilgrim Fathers near
Plymouth Rock and said, "Welcome, En-
glishmen,” he spoke for 1,000,000 Indians.
That was the estimated number of the red
race then living in what {are now the
And so it
appears that to date the act of dispossess-
ing the aborigines has cost $1,000 for every
buck, squaw and papoose living on the
soil when the white man came.
These are round figures, but they are
very close to the exact record. Three years
ago Mr. Tom Donaldson, who is now in
charge of the. Indian census, made a care-
ful compilation. He showed that from
July 4, 1776, to June 30, 1886, the Indians
,had cost the government 311%),23938102. It
is safe to sayvthat the four years added to
the record since Mr. Donaldson’s researches
will bring the figures up close to $1,000,-
000,000. This enormous amount is about
one-third of what the war of the rebell-
ion cost. One—third of the $1,000,000,000
has been spent in pacifying and civilizing
Indians. Two-thirds of the 8,000,000,000
have been absorbed in 13 ghting Indiads.
What is known as the great Sioux war
started in 1852. The war lasted three or
four years. It cost the United States be-
tween $l5,000,000 and $30,000,000.
The Navajo war cOSt the government
nearly $20,000,000.
The biggest of all recent Indian wars
was the one about which least was pub-
lished. It began in 1802- It had its origin
in a comparatively insignificant matter.
A contractor for furnishing Ind ian supplies
sent to the Sioux agencies what was sup«
posed to be prime mess pork. The consign-
ment was found to consist largely of heads
of hogs. The Indians went back on such
rations, and took the warpath instead of
the pork. Gens. Sibley and Sully con-
ducted the campaign. They had 15,000
troops under them.
In this Sioux war the “Galvanized Yan-
kees,” as they were called, made their ap-
pearance. There were several regiments of
these “Galvanized Yankees” and they did
good service against the Sioux. It may be
explained that “Galvanized Yankees” were
Confederate prisoners who took the oath of
allegiance and enlisted in these regiments
to fight Indians in preference to remaining
in northern prisons. In answer to a reso-
lution of inquiry from the senate, 1886, the
secretary of war stated that the total cOst
of troops in the Indian country from 1876
to 1880 had been $223,891,26450.
In 1808 and 1869 there was a. lively Indian
war in what is now the Indian territory
and Oklahoma. The actual field opera-
ti0ns during the eleven months cost $1,056,-
515.57.
The Modoc war in the lava. beds cost
the army 111 soldiers killed or wounded.
The chief incident of this campaign was
the assassination of Gen. Canby. Seven-
teen citizcns were killed or wounded. The
record which was sent to the senate by
the war department says, “No Indians re-
ported killed.”
The Sioux war of 1876 cost for the actual
field expenses $2,312,531. But the cam—
paign was chiefly notable for the Custer
massacre. The army loss was 283 killed
and 125 wounded. The Indian loss was
only 85. The Custer massacre was never
atoued for. The guns which the Indians
took from the soldiers are still in their
possession. '
The Nez Perces war of 1877 lasted three
months and cost $031,329.52.
In that campaign 5341 officers and soldiers
were killed and wounded. Twelve citizens
were killed. The Indian loss was 158.
The Bannock war of 1878 was a small
affair. It only cost $556,636.19. “'hen it
was ended the record showed a loss Of 24
to the army, 30 citizens murdered and ‘74
Indians killed. .
The Northern Cheyenne outbreak of 1879
entailed a loss on the army of 32 killed and
wounded. NO Indians were reported killed.
Since 1882 the only Indian fighting has
been with the little squads of Apaches in
Arizona and New Mexico. For every
Apache run down and killed or captured
the government is said to have spent $100,-
000.——St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Power of a Shaman.
The implicit reliance placed upon the
word of a shaman and his influence over a.
fellow tribesman may be illustrated with
this anecdote. A Sioux Indian, who had
lost a. relative by death, vowed to kill the
first living thing he met. This was once
not an uncommon practice among our In-
dians.
Issuing from his lodge he chanced to meet
a missionary—a. man much beloved by all,
from whom this Indian had received many
favors. Unwilling, but bound by his vow,
he shot his benefactor as he passed. Indi-
an usage (lid not sanction a bloody retribu—
tion on the murderer, since the obligation
of his vow was recognized by all.
The shaman, however, upbraided him for
his act, and pronounced his doom, saying,
“You will die within the year.”
The Indian, though apparently a well
man at the time, was seized by a wasting
disease, and actually did die within the
specified time, a victim to his own supersti—
tious imagination—Youths Companion.
A Badly Fooled Coyote.
The Eureka flat country abounds in wild
geese, and the hunters in that section are
having fine sport hunting them. The
geese swarm in the stubble fields to eat
the scattered heads of wheat, and the
hunters dig pits in these fields and lie in
them, having first set out a number of tin
or pasteboard decoys to attract the geese.
A hunter named Adkins, while sitting in
a pit near Fairfield waiting for geese, saw
a coyote sneaking down on his decoys. The
cunning brute crept along on his belly for
about fifty feet, and then made a spring of
about twenty feet, landing on top of one
of the tin decoys. He was the most dis-
gusted looking coyote ever seen in that
section, and Adkins felt so sorry for him
that he shot him, breaking two of his legs,
and then knocked him on the top of the
head with the butt'of his gun—Portland
Oregonian.
Big Prices Paid for Poetry.
Turning to the prices paid for poetry by
periodicals, it may be stated that, at the
present time, half a crown a line is the rate
in the highest quarters; in others, two
guineas, one guinea, and even half a guinea
are the sums given for a short set of verses.
A popular poet could of course command
almost any price. Ten n yson, for instance,
received from one magazine £100, or about
£1 8s. a line for “Tithonus.” and did still
better with ”The Revenge,” receiving for
it £3 a line; while Longfellow was paid by
the proprietor of a weekly journal £800, or
1 £4 a. line for his “Hanging of the Crane.”

$5 less than from Boston, 01-13170, and
passengers can join excursion at any
of the points named in the itinerary.
Those who desire to accompany this
excursion should write or call at the
Boston office of this company (of once,
where diagrams are on file and sleep-
ing accommodations can be secured.
As the number that can be accommo-
dated on this trip is confined to one
hundred. a deposit of $15 will be re-
quired at the time of the application
and the assignment of berths. The
balance payable at the time of leaving
Boston or New York when tickets with
coupons attached, covering the entire
expense of the trip, will be delivered to
each of the excursionists.
Ladies are especially invited, and a
considerable number have already sig-
nified their intention of going.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, president
of the company, will accompany the
excursion, it being his first visit south
of Richmond since the war, and many
of the other officers and directors of
the company will be among the num-
ber. Hon. James W. Hyatt, Treasurer
of the company,'also expects to go.
It is intended to make the excursion
a select and delightful one in every
particular, and no pains or expense will
be spared by the company to make it a.
trip long to be remembered by those
who accompany it, and it will afford the
best opportunity of the year for seeing
the growth of the new South, in a way
that will not be fatiguing, but a con-
tinual round of pleasant surprises from
time of leaving until the return, com-
pleting a trip of nearly 4,000 miles
through the heart of the New South in
a palatial train, at an expense of $7 per
day, per passenger:
Applications for sleeping accommo-
dations should be made, enclosing $15,
as soon as possible to the Boston office
of the company, as the number will
probably be filled in a very short time,
and under the terms by which the spec-
ial limited train is chartered, the num-
ber must be confined strictly to one
hundred.
