rpr:? ? v ! MASSACRED BY INDIANS. 1 i French Tourists Murdered in Yellowstone Park. i Two Women Scalped and Three 1 Men Brutally Mutilated. { A half-breed hunter and trapper who ar? j rived at Cheyenne, Wyoming, a few day* 1 '11 1(5, Trolr the matcm quarter of the Territo^^brings tidings ( ot tuo atrocious massacre of a party of flvo French tourists in Yellowstone National Pnrlt. Tho bearer of the news heard the story at Canyon Cityv a new mining town,near the park, whore Hank Kerry, the guide and sole survivor, roported tho slaughter. Ferry says his charges include M. Ixs , Claire and wifo; J. Vincent and wife, and I Paul Gerot, father of Madame Vincent. f He cntero 1 tho sorvice of tho sightseers at Virginia City, Montana, contracting to show them through the park, in violation ot United States statutes. The strangers woro very wealthy and said L thoy had journeyod overland from Ban Fran^ cisco for tho express purpose of going through the park during the absence of tho horde of summer excursionists. The party sajcred tlxnmaal uao Imrrnlv ?** fKn rvnrlr nfflliaHncr with tho poachers, who wore slaughtering game for hides. Their camp wee always the . headquarters for professional banters, whom BHht?? they sitpplied with luxuries. j' 'n'lii till!I "f murder, which ho ? ii fusitndo iTf' g | 111 "* n 3j' i" A 1 situation^* il0rry* ,H* "^tho groaiva and 'rggi^g o* the foSngiiccs, mtncM with the yelling of the redskin-. Tholatter proceeded with the murJfli and . killed old Qerot just as the sun was fifing. The slaughter was most brutal. Wound aiter wound was inflicted before the death shot was given. No body contained less than ten bullets, and the remains of Vincent, who made a desperate ilght for his life, were completely riddled. Tho savages passed the morning in further mutilating tho bodiaaand pillaging their outfit Tho women were scalped, hurt their long tresses, matted with blood, dangled from the belt of tho chief of the Indians. The heads of tho men woro hocked and their bodies frightfully disfigured. The Indians found a store of liquors carried by the Frenchmen, but tho quantity was not sufficient to intoxicate tbom all, else thoy would donbloss have fought among themselves. Tho clothes of tho victims wero donned by tho fiends, who, as ' thoy ran from ono wagon to the other, would halt an instant to give ono o? the bodies a kick or a gash with a Itnifo. Finally, the fiends wearied of their bloody feast, and, packing tho effects of the doad people on their ponies, set lire to llio wagons and loft. Ferry, who was nearly dead with fright, emerged from his hidingplaco when tho Indians had departed and at onco started for Canyon City, the nearest settlement. Ho avoided the hunters in the park, and must navo suffered from hunger arid exposure, as he was weak, emaciated, and seemed slightly demented when rotating the terriblo story. Tho guide was plncod in the care of a physician, but he disappeared tho second night nftcr his arrival aud has not been seen since. It is presume-1 thai he is crazy, as he started to the scene of tho massacre. Oflicers at Canyon City liavo organized a posse to secure tho bodies of the murdered people and if possible avenge their doaths. They will proceed with nil possible haste, as tho place is isolated nnd wolves are liable to devour the remaius hefore tho park police or the hunters stumble on them. Ferry is a tough character, but his story is believed, although some of the miners think that the hide hunters, who are mostly outlaws, may huve murdered the tourists for the purpose of robbery. ?-?THE NATION'S NEEDS.

After a varied commercial ex erience ho became a member of the firm o( Villiamson, Burroughs & Ca, who carried j n the dry goods business. He was very 1 uccessful, and retired from active work j nany years ago with an immense fortune, < iggregating millions. After retiring from the dry goods Imsiless Mr. Wiiliamson became an active figuro n financial circles. His fortune grew rapdly under his judicious investments, aud at the time of his death h was regarded as the richest man in Philadelphia. Mr. Williamson never married. His economical habits tcquired in early youth stuck to bim in later rears, and as he grew older he appeared to liave an increasing aversion to spending money upon himself. He carried one umbrella for over fifteen years, and was always seen wearing clothes of ancient cut and Coded and threadbare appearance.

The crowning act of Mr. Williamson's ihilanthropic life was the gift of f'J/iOO.OOO or tho founding of the Williamson Free School of Mechauical Trades, which is to be milt as soon as location is decided upon. The iffairs of the project are new in the luuids if a board of trustees selected by him. Alhough be gave away a great deal of money n this and other ways, Mr. Williamson, it la aid, provided well for his relatives. The leareet of these are a sister and brother livng in Bucks County, and a brother in Kenueky. His younger brothor, who died some ime ago, loft four daughters, two married ,nd two single. Mr. Williamson always led a life of the reatest seclusion, and kept himself as much a possible out of the public eye. Owing to tho fact tnat no will Is known to lave been made by Mr. Williamson, some oubt has been oxpressad regarding nis beuests. Franklin B. Gowan, who was for many ears the private counsel oi Mr. Willimson, said that tho offects of tho ead man were in such a condition that his lans and ideas regarding tho proposed inustrial school would ha fully carried out; he aid that tha trustees now bad in their possesion, by legal deed, over $-.U00,00u, and that lr. Williamson had so fixed things that whatever may he the shapo of his will, there an be no interference with therf stngol proact. A trustee stated that the idea* of tho :hool had long been considered" by~Mr. Willimson, and when the plans were made pubc the arrangements had been completed for le actual transfer of the property and seurities, and this was done as soon as the oard of Trustees was selected, and that lore could not possibly be any interference rith the project.
