Another engagement has taken place
, near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota.
As a number of wagoas with supplies were
known to be coming on the road from Rapid
i City to that point, it was thought best to
send out a detachment to protect them. So
thirty men were picked and immediately
started down the road. They had not cone
over ten miles when they discovered the
wagons thirteen in number, drawn up in the
form of a square, and attacked by about
fifty Indians. The detachment put their
horses to a full gallop, and the Indians w.t'ikdrew
to an adjoining hill.
i The detachment now joiuei the teamsters,
who numbered only nineteen. Sacks of
grain, bundles and boxes were thrown upin
front of the besieged as breastworks. The
Indiana, noticing this, immadiately returned
and began the attack, circling around
the wagons, bul keeping at a distance of SOD
f yards. As a result the shots from their
Winchesters were not very effective, often
falling short of the mark.
The carbines of the soldiers were used with
much more effect, a number of Indians
being seen to fall from their horses. Meantime
their number was augmented until they
numbered 100 warriors, besides some they
had posted off in the adjoining hills.
One soldier, while arraneiner the breast
works, was shot in the shoulder, but not
seriously wounded. A soldier was detailed
to return to camp and report that the detachment
was besieged by the Indians, and
.that they were attacking the wagon train.
:He selected a fast horse and made a break
at an opportune moment. As soon as the
object of the move was seen about twenty
Indians gave chase to Private Collins and
fired shot after shot at him, but he distanced
them. They then returned with the others
to the attack.
i Three more Indians were seen to fall from
their horses and were picked up and carried
away by their companions. Four calvary
horses were shot and silled. "While the large
ibody of Indians was engaged by the majority
of the soldiers and citizens, a few Indians
scattered about dismounted, and, getting as
close as possible, began firing into the horses
and trying to stampede them. This they
nearly succeeded in doing, and had not some
of the soldiers been guarding and holding
the horses, they would undoubtedly have
succeeded in attaining their object.
By this time things were getting pretty hot

as thickas hail stones. The citizens bad been
flghtinr them for six hours and the soldiers
about three hours.
A little before 2 p. M. a commotion was
seen among the Indians, and they gradually
retreated, when it was seen that troops were
coming at full speed to the rescue.
The Indians scattered in all directions, and
Troop F gave chase. They were pursued until
nightfall, when the chase was abandoned,
t the wagon trains and everv one returning to
! camp, bringing the dead Indians and some
l.-? . ponies with them.

The Fifth Avenue in New York ; tl
Totally Destroyed. j ^
A half-burned cigarette thrown Into a tl
bunch of inflammable debris in the property &
room of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New J
York City, started a conflagration a few if
nights ago and within an hour a famous play- la
house was practically destroyed, Herrmann's 5*
Theatre was on fire and the entire block in si
srave peril. The Sturtevant House, 10C is
feet front, across Broadway, was set on fire M
and emptied of its guests.
Fanny Davenport played "Cleopatra" at p
the Fifth Avenue Theatre the night of the b,
fire. The play was over at ll:3o, and five c<
minutes afterward the audience had left the U
theatre. No one was left in the building, ex- i b;
cepting the^ old watchman of the Gilsej j h
properties, Benjamin ?~inn, auu iwu who
were dressing. a
Finn was on the stage passing through the
theatre when he smelled .-moke. The firs!
alarm was rung at 11:50. Five minutes
afterward a second and a third alarm were n
sounded, bringing a dozen fire engines. ic
The firemen found the theatre filled with ti
smoke, lighted by only enough fire to redden a
its rolling volumes here and "there. Thej si
chopped holes in the flooring opposite ths t<
entrance and turned their streams into the ^
black space under the auditorium. f(
Then began a series of violent explosions, tl
each of which was followed by volcano-like
bursts of fire and glowing cinders. There gj
were half a dozen or more of these explo- n
sions. They were the blowing up by the p,
heat of tanks of oxygen and hydrogen gase- ^
used to produce the calcium lights tor scenic ^
effects on the stage. t(
A shower of sparks flew across the street
and the woodwork of the windows of the ^
Sturtevant House took fire. The hotel brigade
extinguished this, but in less than five
minutes it was ablaza again. ?
The fire was under control at 1:40, but the ?
ontire efforts of the Department were re ?'
quired to protect the Sturtevant House, ;jj
Herrmann's Theatre and the buildings 01 ?
the adjoining blocks. All this property
was finally saved.
The Fifth Avenue was refurnished and
decorated by Manager Henry C. Miner, last
summer, at a costot $50,000. This Mr. Minei
had partially insured, but his loss, which wil! I
be large in consequential damages, from th< C
inability to complete his contracts, will s'
be very great. Fanny Dapenporl f
lost all the costumes and scenerj P
of "Cleopatra," costing over $40,000. 1
The estimated loss on tho Fifth Avenue
Theatre was $100,000 by E C, Miner and
$100,000 by the Gilsey estate.
KILLED BYA P0WDEE BLAST '
Four Men Meet Death and Four Fatally
Injured.
By a blasting accident near the village of ^
Stafford, four miles west of Leroy, N. Y.,
Andrew Hunt and three Hungarian laborers
were instantly killed. Four other Hungarians
received injuries which it was believed a
would result fatally. J
The accident happened on a railroad exten- )V
sion. A blast had been fired, and a second
was placed near the placa where the first was
fired. The explosion tore up the rocks and 511
earth in great quantities.
Tt; is thouzht that some of the fire from |
the first explosion remained in the ground

RECKLESS REDSKINS.
1 Detailed Account of the
Battle in South Dakota.
rwenty-five Soldiers and Nearly
a Hundred Indians Killed.
The battle with the Indians on Wounded
?nee Creek in South Dakota was bloodier
ind more deadly than the first reports indicted.
Twenty-five soldiers were killei and
hirty-five were wounded. Nearly 100 Indiins
fell before the sheet of flame that swept
lown from the batteries and guns of the
Jnited States troops. The manner in which
Big Foot's band turned upon their captors,
tooi before the terribly raking fire and shot
lown so many soldiers rivals anything that
ias accompanied the Indian wars of Amer
ca. Though encumoereU Dy their squaws
ind pappooses,they almost snatched victory
rom defeat and displayed a degree of reckess
daring and bravery that has rarely been
qualed.
.Big Foot and his band were surrounded at
I o'clock in the morning by the Seventh Cavilry
and Taylor's scouts. Four Hotchkisa
runs were stationed on a hill about two hunlred
yards from where the Indian warriors
vere encamped in a semi-circle. The poaiion
taken was so strong that it seomed a
lopeless task for the redskin braves to make
i n v cnrt. nf Motafan/Hk Kxr
oldiers and diractly in ratine of the Bbcet of
lamo and shot, that might come from the
lgly looking Hotchkiss guns, they seemed to
realize that resistance meant death to them,
while the foe was in comparative safety.
Vlajor Whiteside arranged this line of bat;le
with a view of overawing the Indians and
:apturinK and disarming them without
jloodshed.
The first show of resistance was made when
the Indians were ordered to surrender their
irms. They had been ordered <o come forward
by twenties and disarm. Only three of
the first squad to come forward displayed
their guns. Major Whiteside therefore ordered
a detachment of A and EI troops to
search the tepees and take away all arms
found. The order aronsed all latent forces
>f the redskin nature. They seemed to regard
the surrender of arms as tbe giving np
>f their lives. Probably they feared that
;hey would be shot down without mercy as
won as they were made defenoeless. and they
letermined to die fighting and In defence of
'.heir arms.
With desperate bravery the 120 Indians
iurned upon their foe and poured a frightful
rolley upon the soldiers that were gathered
losely aDout the tepees. The determination
? fight and the execution of the design were
10 sudden that the soldiers were completely
mrprised. They had not expected resistance
n the face of such overwhelming odda. They
lad come so near the tents and were gathered
to closely together that the first volley
jwept down before It a score of tte brave
nen who had been sent forward to disarm
Big Foot's desperate followers.
The return fire came upon the Indians just
is suddenly as their own, but Its effect was
nore deadly. The soldiers, maddened at the
right of their falling comrades, hardly
iwaited the command, and In a moment the
whole front was a sheet of fire above which
Ua omnlra ohcAllHnO't.hft PPTlfr/ll QPflTlfl
!rom view. Through this horrible curtain
lingle Indians could be seen at times flying
Defora the fire, but after the first discharge
!rom the carbines of the troopers there were
few of them left. They fell on all sides like
jrain in the course of the scythe.
Indians and soldiers lay together and,
rounded, fought on the ground. Off toward
the bluffs the few remaining warriors fled,
iurning occasionally to Are, but now evilently
caring more for escape than battle.
Only '>he wounded Indians seemed possessed
>f tne courage of devils. From the ground
where they had fallen they continued to fire
antil their ammunition was gone or until j
silled by the soldiers. Both sides forgot
jverything excepting only the loading and
lischarging of guns.
It was only In the early part of the affray
;hat hand to hand fighting wa3 seen. The
:arblnes were clubbed, sabres gleamed and
:var clubs circled in the air, coming down
ike thunderbolts. But this was only for a
ihort time. The Indians could not stand
;hat storm from the soldiers. It was only a
itroke of life before death. The remnant
led and the battle became a hunt.
It was now that the artillery was called in<0
requisition. Before the fighting was so
Jose tnat the guns could not be trained with>ut
danger of death to the soldiers. Now
with the Indians flying where they might it
was easier to reach them. The Gatling and
3otchkiss guns were trained, and then began
i heavy firing, which lasted half an hour,
irith frequent heavy volleys of musketry and
:annon. "
It was a war of extermination now with
.he troopers. It was difficult to restrain the
iroops. Tactics were almost abandoned.
Ibout the only tactics were to kill while it
?uld be done, wherever an Indian could Ixj
?en. Down into the creek and up over the
)are hills they were followed by artillery and
nusketry Are, and for several minutes the
ingagement went on until not a live Indian
was in sight.
More than ninety Indians were killed by the
ieadly fire from the Hotchkiss guns and the
merring aim of the soldiers. But when the
imoke cleared away it was fcund that the
Iring of the redskins had been only a degree
ess effective than that of the well trained
Toopers. Twenty-flve brave soldiers were
icattered on the field and thirty-five others
vere suffering from wounds that may yet
jrove fatal. Father Francis M. J. Craft,
i Catholic priest who had hastened to the
!ront to lend his services in settling the difflmlties
with the red men, lay on the field with
i mortal wound in the lungs. The death of
:his brave man, in addition to the killing of
Captain Wallace and the wouding of Captain
Myles Moylan and Lieutenant E. A. Gar lingion,
moke up a list of casualties which wDl
iause this strife to be regarded as a most expensive
one.
A late dispatch from Pine Ridge Agency
tays: "General Miles has assumed command
>f the forces here, relieving General Brooke,
;vho started into the fisld with the Second
Infantry, goins by way of Oelrichs to a point
iome fifteen miles north of here.
"Amid as wild, blinding and bitter a wiuler's
storm as ever swept this bleak and
barren country, were laid away to their last
rest thirty of the bravest boys who fell with
.'ace to the foe in the blooay encounter at
Wounded Knee.
"The graves were in rows of six, close together,
in ths southwest corner of the cemetery,
and overlooking the camp. After the
reading of the burial service by the Rev.
Sir. Cook, the Episcopal clergyman
here, aided by nis assistant, tho
bodies were lowered into the grave.
Owing to the intensely critical condition 01
the surroundings, -with hordes of the enemy
flocking about the agency threatening an
attack, the usual salute of guns was omitted,
while soft notes from the bugle and the wail
of the storm whispered a last-loving goodbye.
"The remains of Captain Wallace will be
sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, for interment.
Those of Captain Mills, who was found deal
in his tent from rheumatism of the heart,
were sent to Omaha.''

While many In our overcrowded centres of jA

continues and increosos. According totters
port of the Commission of Internal Revenue
for the last fiscal year, ending June 30,1890,

DRUN^XTrESSwS1i?Wa>WOMIIT.
Dr. Lucy M. Ha)J, lecturio^-^t Cooper
Union on Tuesday evening, report^ that
she Las fouud, as the result of carefuNnveetigatlons
of the subject, that drunkenness, is <3?
becoming alarmingly frequent among
women. Habits of drinking are extending,.^- ;;3
more especially among tbe girls employed in
factories and workshops, and, as they are ' ' "7
more likely to generates morbid dependence
on stimulants in women than in men, the
vice, or disease, of inebriety grows rapidly
there, according to the observation of this -r
woman physician.
It is undoubtedly true that the women of y
this country in all circles of society drink ~A
mere alcohol now than formerly. The
amount of tbe stimulant consumed by them
per head must be considerably greater than
it was twenty-five years ago, or atany previous
period since the great temperance agita- r-,-%
tion which resulted in the passage of the fa- g
mous Maine Liquor law in 1851. As wealth
and luxury have increased tho number of
tables upon which wine is served regularly
has multiplied enormously, and the women
of the households partake of it very generally.
The introduction of lager beer during
the last generation has also had a tendency
to increase greatly tho consumption of alca- *
hoi among women. A large part of the
workinz people of all the large towns drink
lager beer regularly at their meals, baying 16
by the quart at neighboring saloons. Th?
crowds at the beer gardens in the evening
are composed usually of about as manjf -
women as rnon. Every corner liquor shop, ,'->w
also, has a side door by which women are admitted
to a special compartment for their
use. The great majority of the women of > %
New York are more or less regular constim* ers
of alcohol in some form. ?New York Sun. 3
