ROBERT GAIUtZTT, Speaking of the Reported Hale of th Bal liBwra A Ohio Telf rmph Lines to the "Western 17 ion Compu. Sew York October 8. The Times print the following: "It'aoo trade, gentlemen, said r. Robert Garrett to Edward S. Stokes and a small party of friend at the Hoffman boose earlr Jaat eveninr.

lie referred to the aale of the Baltimore A Ohio telegraph com pany to Jar Gould. The announcement. Bioat emphatically made, wu a eoaioe sur prise to Mr. Stokes and hi Iriei.ds. They supposed the sale bad been ratified and that all papers relating to it bad been signed.

tea led and delivered. Tbey biated much, asking Mr. Garrett if be bad read the Mr. Garrett replied that be bad, but repeated that to spit of everyihing said and done the Baltimore dc Ohio telegraph com pany bad not vet been absorbed by its hun gry rival. Mr.

Garrett looked and spoke as be were very much in earnest. There is no exaggeration in the statement that it put Mr. Garrett in a bad humor to discover tbat the syndicate apparently con sidered bi presence entirely nnueceksary, Mr. Garrett thought so much baste unseem ly, and in discussing the sale last evening be said so. The syndicate might have waited, be thought," onlil Lie was upon the grouud before it disposed of the property in the preservation ot which he was particularly interested.

It looked odd, be said, tbat an attempt should be made to ell the proitertv while he was on. the ocean and not in a position to Interfere with plans in which be war, at least, entitled to a vote. At leact. when Mr. Garrett left the liotT luao bouse be bid impressed bis bearer with the idea that Gould (night have a good deal ot, trouble before ne could legally claim the 15.

O. telegraph company a hi own. One thing they were aati.tied of; that Gould would not be allowed to keep hi new purchase at tbe price he is said to have paid lor it. Mr.Uarrett, in addition to announcing tbat no trade has been made, said tbat Gould could, under no cir get the IS. O.

telegraph com paoy for 3,000,000: be would have to pay a good deal bigger figure, lor he was the last man in the country to whom Garrett would be willing to sell. i Garrett did not say all this until be had. along talk with John K. Cowan and other counsel. lie spent several hours at the Brevoort in consultation with hit lawyers, and the matter under consideration was considered so important that 2 o'clock arrived before Mr.

Garrett bethought him of a promise be bad made to lunch with some friends at the Manhattan club. Lunch having been disposed of. Mr. Garrett walked op to the Hoffman house, and there made opponent of Western Lnioo and lriends or it competitor in telegraphy happy by declaring that he meant to fight and felt sure of winning. lie was inclined to this way ot thinking tbrougn the knowledge that the It.

ti O. telegraph company was indebted to bint personally to the not altogether trivial sum of "between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. George Good treated the story laughingly. II did not, believe that Mr. Garrett waa correctly reported.

"Although the collateral has not yet been turned over, the agreement ha been signed, and is in our possession. There is no B. O. telegraph now, as their wires are part of our system." Mr. Gould also denied the statement in the aame article that the B.

O. owed Garrett, personally, between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. W. B. Sonierville, of tbe Western Union, waa authorized to say that Dr.

Noryin Green did not believe tbe scory and that Dr. Green was so confident that there would be no trouble about the sale that he had decided not to Issue anv final statement contrary bis original intentions. "No alight waa intended to Mr. Garrett," continued Mr. Somerville, "by closing the sale while be was on his way from Europe.

Tbe harry was to prevent the possibility ot an injuction being obtained by which the sale would be deferred. Any holder of Western Union stock could hare caused delay and a holder of one hundred share could have made any amount of trouble." i Mr. Somerville was asked if Mr. Garrett eonld break the transaction. "Most certainly be could not," he replied.

"We bought the lines from tbe Drexel organ syndicate, yrho were the legal custodian of tbe property and lully endowed to sell. We have the property safe and sure. If Mr. Garrett I said that tbe B. fc O.

owed bim I $3,000,000, and the statement i true, tbe officers ot tbe O. have made a false report. The" telegraph company might owe bim something if he owned the railroad entirely, but he doe not. The B. St O.

still have the privilege of using certain ot the lines, but all will be peaceably arranged, yoa may be sure. If he anticipated any trouble, Mr. Jay Gould would not be out of town onlil Monday." Startllne; Development I'romiaed. New York, October 8. The bargain be tween tbe Western Union telegraph company and the Baltimore Ohio railroad was hurried up a little Thursday beyond tbe original intentions ol the negotiators so a to prevent litigation.

A yet no iortnai notice of the chauge in ownership has been given to the employes of the B. fc O. The system is turned oyer to the Western Union tree of indebtedness, and the B. O. assume alleged forfeiture, like those whx b.

the Philadelphia aldermen threatened. ltobert Garrett kept bimselt scarce yesterday, alter hi arrival from, Europe. lie is, however reported to bare said that the deal was not ended and that Gould did not own the B. O. telegraph, as was stated.

In a few days other developments, be i reported to have added, will be made known that will be startling. Nothing; to Say. New York, October 8. Dow Jonca sent tbe following note to Mr. Garrett this morning: "I it true tbat yon will oppose tbe sale of the B.

O. telegrar to Western Union?" To which Garrett replied, "I have nothing to say." I A Significant Conference. New Yokk, Octobers'. There were many visitor at tbe Brevort house to see Robert Garrett, but he was closeted with Manager Bates, of the B. O.

company; an accountant lrom the Western Union company soon joined them and the conference continued tor some time at the Western Union othces. Little information could be gleaned beyond tbe fact that about a month would be consumed in organizing the two companies in one management. Fran Tnar There May Trouble. 1 NEW YORE, October 8. Notwithstanding the fact that the general opinion in Wall street is that when Mr.

Garrett made the reported remark, referring to the tele graph ale, that "It's no trade, gentlemen," be wa ieeling somewhat hilarious.1 it is pretty generally believed that he (Garrett) was in earnest, and Garrett' assertion, to day, tbat the sale of the telegraph i not valid lead to the impression tbat there may be some hitch in the contract that will lead to trouble. It is evident that Mr. Garrett has been in a frame of mind, to put it mildly, since hi arrival from Kurope. Mr. Garrett waa till excited thi morning, but he refused to repeat the.

declaration made last night la the Hoffman house, that he had been sold by his friends, but that be waa' Mill in the riog and would make it warm for all hand who had, to eucbre him out of hi property. He threatened to show Jay Gould that he did not own the earth, and talked excitedly of lawsuits, eta. Mr. Garrett aay there bs been no sale and no transfer of the Baltimore Ohio telegraph to Mr. Goold and kia friend, aad ha roes farther and says, by all POJLI LNIAXAPOLIS, SATURDAY.

DANCE UOUSE VICTIMS. Seven Evidently Murdered Mew Found Near Hurley, Wis. Horrible Iiseovery. Hurley, October 8. A few days ago two hunters, with cans and dogs, started tor game.

Before tbey had gone very far on their way, they suddenly missed one of their dogs, which had for some reason turned home; At length they heard him giving vent to a prolonged series of howls, and hastened in tbe directiou of the noise. Upon approaching the place their olfactory organs were saluted by a most horrible stench, so terrible tbat they retraced 'their atepa. Tbey kept whistling and cailing to their dog, and at last he followed them, bringing in his mouth a blood stained and tattered silk cap, such as is commonly nsed by trainmen in summer. The fact that there were some tnfts ol hnman hair adhering to tbe jagged rent in the cap, together with their dog's anxiety to return to the spot where he had found the ghastly relic, induced the hunters to institute a search. They followed the dog, and right.

behind the ruins of an old dance house, under some rotten logs and a slight covering of earth, they ssw the decomposed corpses of seven evidently murdered men. They lay jut as the slayer bnd thrown them, some with gapinir wounds, showing that they had fooghtNiard for their lives, while others lay huddled up aa if their murderers had done their fiendish work while their victims lay in a drunken stupor. The hunter informed the proper authorities and an investigation followed but no cleat could be found to the identity of the corpses which were so decomposed as to be beyond recognition.

Des Moines, I October 8. Tbe brief Associated Press telegram from Washington, reciting sundry cruel evictions in aorth western Iowa has been more than doubted here in all quarters.

One of the most reliable citizen of O'Brien county was asked last night as to the truthfulness of the dispatch and Instantly indorsed it. In' regard to the English land company, which i said to be taming American citizen out ef their homes, he said: "It certainly is true. Tbey are an old firm reorganized into the Western Land company. They bought the old McGregor Western, or its assigns, the Milwaukee fc Sionx City company some lands granted to the McGregor fc Western in 1S04, but never earned, for the road was never built. When Teller was secretary of the in terior he and tbe land commissioner both 'declared the lands unearned and promised to open them for settlement.

On the faith of these declarations and promises some settlers went on these lands and built their home. The English syndicate now has the railroad title aud propose to keep possession." "How manv families have they evicted?" "At least 100. Before they get through tbe number will be increased to HO." "You say you know some ef the families. Were any of those you know subjected to undue severity in their evictions?" "Yes. Tbe Finch family locked their doors against the intruders, but tbe door and window were broken in, and tbey were carried out and compelled to spend tbe night on the public road.
