MUNICIPAL. BBAVE MEN. I O'CLOCK MM ohoeon her delogates then, aa tho County Convention has not beon called yet. It has beon purposely delayed to await the action of tho Republican Convention, which is called for the 16th. Suffolk Democrats complain that they wore not consulted In the calling of tho convention, and, thorefore, tho Qnoona County people are at liberty to poBtpone it or not, as they deem boat.

There considerable hard feeling, and trouble is anticipated. Congressman Henry A. Reeves saya that, under no condition of circumstances, will ho bo a candidate for Senator. It was eald that a oompromiso hod beon of fectcd with him as the prospective candidate. There is nothing whatever In it.

Ex Aasemblyman Duryea is most talked of. Appointed by tlie Taxpayer's Association to Investigate countyOfflclals. The Taxpayer's 5entroji Association held an adjourned meeting last ovoning, In Grenada Hall, Dr. Fearn, tho President, in tho chair. The attendance larger than ia usual at meetings of this organization, and tho proceedings were of animated character.

Tho members engaged in a long discussion in regard to the conduct of the County Clerk's offlco. It was alleged by several speakers that the work of oopyion old records was pushed to an unnecessary extent, and that the law was violated by excessive ox pendltures for tho work. A committee of five was appointed to visit tho County Clerk's offlco, make an investigation as to its bUBlnesa and report any discoveries might be made to tho meeting, at its noxt sosBlon. The management of affairs at the County institutions Flatbuah was also discussed, and sovoral members alleged that tho buildings were filled with slnscurists rendered no equivalent to the County for tho pay received. A committee of flvo was appointed to go Flatbuah and make an investigation of tho alleged abuses.

The association then went into Executive Session and dleoussed the probabilities of tho coming campaign. finally rosolvod to nominate or indorse candidates ward and legislative offices and to secure pledges such candidates that they would labor to reduce taxation. Mr. H. Mumford, W.

Seventeen Men Still Plodding their Dreary Rounds. Murphy, Faber and Curran the Favorites. Tho Scores Made To day. There wero at 8 o'clock this morning only 18 out of the 35 loft on the track in tho groat walk for O'Leary belt and $5,000. Elson withdrew at 5:49:35 morning after completing 102 mileB and 3 laps.

Ho well UBed up, aud felt that the task of attempting get a prize was for him woreo than useless. Murphy continuos in splendid condition and Bteadlly maintains lead of 10 milos and moro over Fabor. The latter is stiff and sore, aud on taking tho track af tor rest he walks around lama and stiff for many laps before his legs get Hmberod out. Thon ho goes well, but runs only very Uttlo. Murphy, on the other hand, cornea out without any signB of fatigue on him, and starts on a run almost immediately.

He docs a good deal of running, and seems to got along eosior that way than by walking. His friends aro now oonfident that the boy will take first placo. If ho does it will provo a fortune him far boyond his wildost hopes of a year ago. Ho worked in a briok yard in Haverstraw for about six dollars a week. OLD OUBBAN goes well and is gradually overhauling Faber, who is in second place.

But for Curran's age, he is over 50 years, ho would be a dangerous man in tho race1, to day. There were not moro than two hundred people' in the Garden at 8 o'clock this morning, and most of them were sleeping soundly on the benches, They wore awakened up by tho police or tho Bwoopors, and a couple old topers who Bhowed signs of fight on being aroused from their slumbers, were ejected from tho building. Tho ohief interest in the race now lies between Murphy, Fabor and Curran, who occupy the first three places in the order named, and who are tho favorites. Pierce the colored man is still plodding along slowly. Ho has not boon allowed to take much sleep by his backer, and tho poor fellow oau scarcely keep his eyes open while on tho track.

He dodges into his room whenever the entrance clear and his backer away, but his repose is short for is pullod off tho bed and shoved out on tho traok by backer, the momont he misses his dusky form from "traok. Another man has caved in, picked up his baggage and retired to other scenes and pastures new. This time it wb Brondgeost, and he went to hla room 0:15 this morning, with a score of 178 miles and four laps. At 10 o'clock ho Bent word to take his name from scores, as he was leaving the building for good. He suffered from constipation and all the remedies applied failed to relieve him.

The scoring on tho ecoro boards BtiU continues to be altogothor at variance with thoncoro sheets, and in several cases laps and oven whole miles difference exist until "straightened out" and mode to tally to suit tho wishos of tho slcopy and stupid young fellows, to whom this important work Is intrusted. They sit chatting with one another, or chewing tobaooo, smoking Btrong cigars, all supplied free to them by managers, and at times seem utterly oblivious of tho pedestrians as they walk by. Tho consequonce ia that laps fail to bo reoorded, or worse still, one man's lap is put on to another man's score. Whon remonstrated with, these young "gentlemen amateur athletes," as they profess to call them Belves, get indignant and use anything but choice language. It is no uncommon thing for a walker to see scora, say 170 miles, on passing the boards, and after making several laps additional ho finds his score down to 100 or 108 milos, making him seem to go backward InBtead of forward.

Blower Brown was in the Garden to day for a short time. Ho is still very sick, and looks badly used up. Ho says ho is beginning to feel a Uttlo bettor again. He says that the first of his troubles was caused tobacco smoke being blown right into his face by half a dozen men who atood In one placo leaning over rolling on the track. He Mod to have them stopped tho police, but without iuoceas.

It was this whloh first made him sick, ho says, and then other causes followed and made him worse.

The Brevoort Foreclosure Suit City Court Decisions Cases Before the Surrogate, Etc.

Tho case of the People vs. Samuel Guthrie, Supervisor at Large, of Kings County, came on for in the Court ot Oyer and Terminer, this afternoon. The chargo in tho indlclmont is to tho offect Mr. Guthrlo violated tho dutlea of.hla office in Bigning a bill which was fraudulent. Tho facts in tho case aro thoso Harrison Brothers, well known wholesale and retaU grocers, hod a contract for drugs for tho Charities Department.

Thoy rendorod a bill for $2,000 for drugs. Tho bill passod Supplies Committee of the Board of Supervisors, 'was passed by tho Board. It la claimed that tho articles woro not worth moro than $500. The chargo against Mr. Guthrie la that he violated hia official duty not vetoing tho bill when the minutes of the Board placed before him for approval.

Tho case Is before Mr. Justice Dykman and Ajec clata Justices Wiokham and Spencer. District Attorney Catlln appeared for the Peoplo and Judge James Troy for the defendant, The caso was callod at half past twelve, and a jury empaneled as follows THE JTJRY. H. Neefiis, Wm.

Jeremiah, Jacob Ryerson, Geo. E. Hart, Thomas Ball, Harvey Manghan, L. Van Autwerp, Wm. H.

Leech, John Watts, Adam Bossing, James E. Seward, Robert Furman. Neither counsel in tbo caso objected to tho panal a was first drawn, and District Attorney Catlln at onco proceeded with his opening of the case for proBOcution. Ho said ho had known Mr. Guthrio for mony years and lived in tho samo ward him.

Ho had always known him as an honorable upright but tho Grand Jury had put a duty upon the District Attorney in presenting an Indictment against Mr. Guthrie, and that duty ho must proceed to discharge. He then outlined tio duties of Supervisor at Largo. Tho quostiou bofore them might be narrowed down to a question of law upon which the court will pass. During tbo latter part of year 1879 tho Supplies Committee of tho Hoard of Supervisors adverliBod for proposals for drugs for tho of tho County Hospital at FlatbUBh.

Among proposals was ono from Harrison and was to bo the lowest ono. The oontract awarded to thorn and they furnished the goods. Thoy rendered a bill for J2.00U which was passed by Supplies Committee. Supervisor Pleoman protested tbo Board of Supervisors that tho amount was grossly oTResaivo. that tho uoods coulu bo had for foOO.

The was passed lc opita of that protest, and went to Mr. Guthrio for approval as uapervieur iu ai Ub did approve tho bill, and tho point In tho caso was that he violated his duty in jot vetoing It, as he had the power do. It was claimed by tho prosocutlon that tho drugs wore prepairod by Harrison Brothers for about $700 or 300, sold to the County for The court then took a recosa. AFTER KECES8. Tho Court ieaarembled after receeB, whon Mr.

Edward Codley, Clork of the Board of Supervisors, was called to stand. He was asked to turn to tho requisition for drugs on the 3rd of October, 1878, which was for about fifty two articles of drugs and surgical instruments. On October 17, the Supplies Commltteo reported articles wero uecesBary, and ehould bo advortisod and epeciflcatlons prepared. A resolution was adopted In accordmco with tho report, What next was dono? A. Tho proposals woro ad.

We may as well dccldo tlfequestion now, as It is the point upon which tho caso tuna. 'ieneral Catlln We offer to provo that in the pres. )o of Supervisor at Largo Guthrio Supervisor 1'lco objected to tho bill on tho ground that it was ex isive, and tho goods for which tho county proposed tfoay $2,000 could be had for $500. Tho point in the ilictment ia that Supervisor at Large Guthrio did not veto tho bill. fSteneral Catlln outlined tha powor of tho Suporvlsor siLargo In the premises, under tho Law of 1871.

(Ex Judge Troy said he did not think tho indictment is a valid one, but he had not objected to it because expected tho case would como up in thia shapo. The Jjdlotmont charged that the Board mado a contract for tfrugs to the amount of $2,000. The prico waa fixed contract, and now the Supervisor at Large la charged Hth violating hia duty in Bigning tho bill which waa to according to contract. Here was a Bpocifled price fixed for the drugs, It could not bo more or less tho Board mado no complaint ot fraud they did not return tho drnga. The county had atrreed to pay tha oontract prico and could not escape thorofrom.

Tho best of feeling exists between himself and Colonel Sharpe, and it la only to accept a more lucratlvo situation that he severs his very pleasant relations with tho Long Island Railroad and receiver. He has accepted tho position of Master of Tranaportation on tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Colonel Sharps held this position at Hie time of his election to tho Pro.udoucy of tho Long Island Railroad, to succeed Adolph Poppenhuson, In 1S77.

Mr. Spencer shown himsolf to be tho most competent manager in chargo of thcao railroads. Under hla supervision ovorything has progressed a' ovenly as work, and perhaps tho beit testimonial to his ability Is found in tho abaonco of accldonta. Tho roads wero never, prior to hla time, oiorated under a schedule embracing half tho number of trains. Such fast time was never mado by the trains, nor wero the peoplo carried wlthauch comfort.

Under tho onorgetlc and liberal management of Sharpo aud Spencer, Long Island became a new pUeo, aud has beeu attended with unprecedented prosperity the lxt two Summera. Thoy havo demonstrated the ability of the road to earn a profit, notwithstanding the heavy outlays that have been neccs to make tho roadbed and oiulpmont first class. business of the road has boon one third greater year than at any tlmo within their history.

President Ray and Alderman Kenna, of the Aldermanio sub Committee on statements 10, II, 12 and of the report of tho Board of Estimate, mot yesterday afternoon to hear the statements of tho heads of departments, whose appropriations thoy are considering.

President Stranahan, of the Park Commission, appeared before the committee and asked for an increase of the amount allowed by the Board of Estimote. He read a tabulated statement, showing the following reductions by tbo Board of Estimate Maintenance of parks, $100,000 to $75,000 repairs of drives, from $20,000 repairs to Bedford avenue, from $10,000 to cleaning Bedford avenue, from $1,600 to Eastern Parkway, from $3,000 to uceon railway, from $12,500 to shelters, Washington $4,000, and Martyrs' Tomb, $2,500, Btricken out entirely. Mr. Stranahan said ho hardly knew how they wore going to get along with what they had been allowed would do the best they could. Ho hoped, however, tho committee would see tho necessity of increasing item, so that their task might be easier and tho be able to put its property to better use.

Since tho opening of the parks tho Commissioners had maintainoa them for less than half per acre what it cost New York keep her parks, and he bolleved landscape garaeners agreed that our parks were kept in as good condition. There was a tlmo when, during tho period of extravagance in New York, our parks woro maintained at one third less expense than those across the river, air, Stranahan said that tho Park Commissioners wore ready Join hande with the people in tho matter of economy, they could not make something out of nothing. There was little reduction that could bo made in the of BalarioB. The bulk of each year's opproprlotion for labor, materials, repairs, ia, and when they not get tho money work could not be done. Alderman Kenna asked If the Board or tstimato naa reduced th eitem of repairs to Bodford avenuo from $10,000 to $3,000.

Mr. Stranahan ropliod In the affirmative, ana saia thoy asked for enough to rosurfaco tho avenuo and keep it in suoh a condition for tho noxt flvo years that moro than $5,000 would be needed oaeh year to proporly repair it. The avonuo wa3 mucn usou, ana ehould bo put in a muoh better condition than it had been in for some time. the tax qmoB. Tax Collector Tanner appoired before tho committee, asked that tho Bum of $37,500 be allowed his department Instead of $35,000, aa reported by the Board of Estimate.

He said that whon he entered the offlco, tho salary account was Last year he asked for $55,000 for tho present year, and the Board of Estimate allowed him $37,500, whloh waa Increased to $42,500 subsequently, by the Board of Aldermen. Determined that tho Board of Estimate should not surpass him in oconomy, ho had aakod for 1880 only $37,600, the amount allowed by thorn for this year in their report year. Ho considered that a email amount for such large and responsible department. Almost his entire clerical force drew at the rate of $1,000 a year only. In other departments salaries might be lower in the Department of Arrears, for Instance but It a clerk In his office was not worth $1,000, ho woo not worth anything.

Even from tho Roglstrar of Arrears," Bald rresiueni Ray. 'Oh, no," repliod Mr. Tanner, "I don't want to soe a further reduction In an office where the olerks get $000 year. I believe In paying men for their services." DEPARTMENT CO? ABREABS.

The Board of Estimate allowed $15,000 for this de partment. Registrar of Arrears 'iteeno osjteu me uu committeo to give him $27,500 in order to euabio him to pay his olerkB living salaries. With tho appropriate forthepreaont year, $25,000, Rogistrar Scott had been unable to pay some of his clerkB more than $600, and in one oase a olerk received but $350. President Ray rominned Mr. O'Keeffe that Mr.

Scott had a small balance left lost December which ho divided among his clerks. Mr. O'Keoffo said if he was allowed oniy i would be nothing left to divide next year. Alderman Kenna asked if Mr. U'neene proposeu vo increase the number of his clerkB.

Mr. O'Koeffo said ho did not, but he desired to give his $600 clorka $900 and eaon, aim ub" salory of his deputy to $2,500. He thought the sum of $1,000 was little onough to give a good clerk. The Commttteo adjournoa iiu6 action. THE BOARD OF CITY WOKliB.

The Democratic Situation County SiiMj Uo Primaries Contesting Delegations Mr.

Beeves Will Not Stand for Senator An independent Ticket Talked Ot. The Queens County Democrats have been set afloat by the rosult of the prlmarloB of laBt Saturday ovoning, and nothing whatover Is considered cortatn in relation to the nominations to oillcos ovor wnicn tnoro ib contest. Tho indications are that almost every man has an ax to grind, and bargains are talked of on evory hand. It is asBorted by tho knowing onoB that the kickers woro all straight prior to the primaries, but now that they are delegates, and thoro Is no power to keep them out of tho convention, they are doing tue boat thoy can for themselves. Thoso who are not on the Btrlke are ready to mako bargains In tho interest of their friends among the candidates, and matters which were thought to be perfectly well understood are now topsy turvy.

The reason is that aeiogatoa wero cnoaen who, it was thought, could be reaauy uanuioa, Deoause they had never got out of the harness in timea past, Instead of men of reputation and intelligence. The almost absolute exclusion of representative mon from the conventions has Injured the party not a little In tho paat, and will in this instance. THE NEWTOWN PRIMARY. Both factions proceeded to hold a primary in the same hail at Newtown, with separate sets ol officers ana two ballot boxos. At tho head of one faotion was blinon Flaherty, and at the head of tho other was William H.

Furman. Fifty men oame from Now York, with Harry Hill at their head. From Williamsburgh Flaherty mar Bhaled another gang. Tho atorokeepers closed up, an ticipating a riot and fearing that their places might be sacked. William H.

Furman waa eleoted chairman by his faotion and Juatloe Kirkpatrlck was ohosen to pre aide over the Flaherty wing. A scene of tho wildest confusion ensued. THE BALLOT BOXES WERE BROKEN, and tho police force from Long laland City had its hands full to prevent a bloody collision. Harry Hill cried out to Chairman Furman to say the word and ho would have tho room cleared and the new ballot boxes tumbled Into tho creek in five minutes. But Furman was altogether too disoreet to countenance this Invitation to precipitate a not.

wnon tne pom oiosea over boo votes had been cast by about 200 peoplo, and the Flaherty gang had nearly 500 ot them. Consequently two dele gations will seek admission to the convention to morrow. They are made up as follows Flahertyltos Simon Flaherty, Garret Furman, Ed ward Fagan, Robert Burroughs, David Leahy, Stephen N. Haviland and John Homeyer. Furmanltea William H.

Furman, Augustus Rapel yoa, John E. Baokus, A. V. S. Lott, Henry Zeh, Jacob Qebhard and Gabriel Marc There is no question about the admission of tho Flaherty! tea, notwithstanding it will go against the groin of Bome of the bettor olaea of delegates to have for their associates ex convicts.

The same contest was waged and won by the Flahertyltea last year, but with a moro representative clasa of men. Conteating delegations will be present in tho Assembly Convention also. Thoy aro made up as oUowa Flahertyltos William Klrkpotrick, James Lyons, Maurice O'Oonnell, Thomas Murphy, John Weiss, Win. J. Knapp, Obodiah B.

Bmlth. Furmanltos Eugene Fisher, Edwin B. Lansing, Wm, Bepper, John Smith, Harry Hill, Benjamin Hanco, John D. H. Barmore.

NO COMPROMISE. The effort to harmonize the two factions In Long Isl and City has utterly failed. The Qulnnites will llBten to no argument. Both parties have held primaries and will contest for admission to the convention. If it comes to be a close fight on the Shrievalty, the party controlling tho organization of the convention wlllcomo off the vic tor.

The delegates ohosen are as follows De Bevolse party JamoB Robinson, Andrew McGor ry, Henry W. BUuns, joau auau, cuworu ouuuuy, John Delaaanty, John Eehoo, Qulnn party George Petry, Joseph MOLSughiin, Wllllafn MoPhalL Tho remaining three delegates aro to be named from the Fourth and Fifth wards. The Do Bovoise party will undoubtedly bo ad mitted, because they are in power in city, though the QulnniteB, in the last election, demonstrated that they had the majority of votes. Tho Qulnnites and tho Furmanltea, anticipa ting rejection, have concluded to hold an Independent convention and nominate a partial ticket, the Eopubll cans having, It la Bald, agreed to complete It and thus form a ooolition. Judge Armstrong and John H.

Sut phln, having no opposition for tho positions to which thoy aspire, are laboring hard to secure harmony, tx Assemblyman Payno, aa the spokesman of the Qulnnites, assorts that ex Jodge Onderdonk haa signified bis willingness to accept an Independent nomination and Republican Indorsement for County Judge. This is pretty nanerally doubted. Mr. Onderdonk Ib a Demo crat, and held the offlcoa of District Attorney and Surro gate aa Buch. Ho la a high minded gentleman, against whom nothinir can be Bald.

He Ib an ablo lawyer ana enjoys a Jarro praotice. It would not pay him to take the office were he tendered tho regular Democratic nom ination. Few believe that ho will permit himself to be need as a tool to enable these factions and the Republicans with them to wage war upon the party that has twice honored him. TOE BtTRROGACY. There la a.

83i Van Brunt street, was arrested at an oarly hour this morning for intoxication, and locked up In one of the cells of Eleventh Precinct Station House. An hour or so afterward he attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself to tho cell door with his Jumper, which he had taken off and torn up into strips, which ho fastened together.

Harris and Nagle state that thoy bought the rope from King, who was attached to tho bark, but this tho Utter denies, Tho prisoners were hold for trial by Justice Ferry. An Adventurous Young Emigrant. Otto Alex, agod 18 years, arrived in New York from Germany about two weeks ogo, and a few days afterward socured a position aa waiter In tho restaurant of Charles Blancko, No. 37 Cedar street, N.

Y. The employment proved distasteful to a youth of his adventurous turn ai mind, and ho took tho first opportunity to go off, having first, however, helped himself to in money and a check for $150, belonging to Mr. Blanoke, which ho found in his pocketbook. Alox determined to go West, and reading in the papers that there was sorious trouble in tho Indian Territory, purchased a revolver, with which to protect himsolf, and, necessary, slaughter tho Rodskina. Ho was traced by New York police to this city, and arrested last night Officer Stoddard, of the Third Precinct, in Baltio street.

He was locked up for the night at the Butler street Station House, and thia morning was handed over to the Now York officer, who had a warrant for arrest. Stolen Watcli and Chain Returned. On September 18, Mr. C. C.

Phillips, of 77 Bridge streot, while attending an auction sale in tho Bome street, had a gold watch and chain, valued at $200, stolen from his pocket. He suspected a young man who had been standing cIobo to him, and followed htm to tho Bldowalk, where he got hold of him. The supposed thief drew a revolver and threatened to ahoot Mr. Phillips if ho did not lot him go, which he did and fellow made his escape. Tho police were communicated with, but all offorts to discover the thief or recover tho wateh and chain were unsuccessful, and Mr.

Phlllins cave them up for lost. Last ovoning, a youtn callod at Mr. Phillip's Btore and loft a parcel on tho counter, whioh, on being opened, was found to contain tho missing watch and ohain. TO BE DECIDED BY THE COURTS. Whether or Not fiatianas Kciin qulHlied its Rights to ISufflo Bar.

It is a well known resort for sportsmen. At the last session of tho Legislature, the State relinquished Its right In tho ploco of land to Schmeelk, and ordered the Town of Flatlonds to hold a town moetlng at which to voto whother it was willing to glvo up its claim in the land Schmeelk. For some time past it haa been rumored that if Schmeelk obtained possession, that ho would turn it ovor to tho Barren Island Company to establish fat rondorlug factory on It.

Conaoquently, there was much opposition, lostoruay the town meeting waa held iu Flatlands village. Supervisor Peter 0. Conover, Town Clerk Garret Bergen and Justices William H. Rogers and Houry M. Elliott, acted aa supervisors of the election.

Tho voting was very cloao, and all the workmen on Barron Island woro brought over to cast their ballots In Schmeelk'a favor. Tho poll list called for 411 votes, but there were only 402 ballots and one defoctiva ballot in tho box. The ballots were twice counted with the samo result. Tho voto waa canvassed and found to bo 202 in fovor of Schenck and 200 against. Tho poll list was inspected, and it was found that the clerk had mado a mis take in numbering.

M. I a nrrinr will loave some time to night with dis patches if posBlblo. Indians still surround us, and pour in an effective fire from commanding bluffs, at a distance of five or sir hundred yards. Our position, which was chosen hastily on tho first day of the fight, Ib under a eross ftro. All our horses and mules, except twelve of tho latter, have beon killed.

Wo sheltered them as best we could with wagons, but to no purpose. Captain Dodge and Lieutenant Hughes, with Company Ninth Cavalry, came to our resouo yesterday morning, after a forced night's maroh of thirty five miles, from Boar River. Cheer upon oheer rent tho air from our trenches when it was ascertained who wore comiDg. A lull in the firing enabled them to come in and shelter their horses as well as possible. Thoy took to tho fortifications quiok whon tho attack redoubled Its fury.

Had the heights been accessible, Captain Dodge would have charged them with his company while we covered him from our rifle pits, but this was utterly impossible, tho ascent being nearly perpendicular. All we could do during tho day was to keep a good lookout from tho loop holes and return tho fire when any Indian snowed nis ueau. iu, however, was a very rare occurrence, as the Indians havo rifle pits and loop holes. Before dark every horse but threo of Captain Dodge's command had been shot down. A very fortunato thing for us haB beon that the Indians havo left ub unmolested at night, with the exception of an occasional shot to make us scatter to our pits.

We havo been able at great risk to uaui off our animals overy night, otherwise tho Btench would have beon intolerable. A sally is made every night for water, a distance of two hundred yards from our intronch ments. Night before lost Private Erser, of Company was shot in tho face while out with a party after water. Tho Indians wore only few yards away and were driven oft by a volley from tho guard In the trenches. Captain Dodge brought us the cheering newo that our dispatches reached Boar River safely and would undoubtedly reach Rawlins.

We have been counting tho hours which it will probably take for relief to reach us. Wo all agree that General Merrltt, from Fort KusseU, with the companies of the Fifth Cavalry stationed there, and all other available troops will be ordered to our rescue, and thoy will all bo needed to finish the campaign. Tho field of battlo was admirably choson for defense by the Indians, and had it not beon for Major Thorn burgh's advance guards, commanded by Lloutonant Cherry, discovering the ambuscade, the entire command WOULD HAVE BEEN ANNIHILATED. Ho saw a small party of Indians disappear aver a bill half a mile In front, and at onea divided his party to reconnoitre, and only discovered thorn when he had flanked their position by about 200 yards. Lieutenant Chorry rode back at full speed with one or two men Who wero with him, and notified Major Thornburgh, who bad already bogun tho descont into the deep ravine whloh was intended to ingulf tho command.

The Indians wero dismounted and lying down along the crest of tho high steep rldgo for a hundred yards from tho point where the deadly assault would havo commenced. Tho troops were withdrawn a short distance, dismounted and deployed in line of battlo, with orders to await tho attaok of the Indians. Lieutenant Cherry was hero ordorod by Thornburgh to take a detachment of fifteen picked men and raako a reconnolsanco and communicate, If possl blo, with the Indians, as it was thought that thoy only desired to oppose his approach to their agency, and would parloy or havo a big talk if thoy could bo com municated with. Chorry moved out at a gallop with his men from tho right flank, and noticed a like movement of about twonty Indians from the loft of tho Indian position. Ho approached to within a couple of hundred yards of tho Indians and took off his hat and waved it, but tho response was a shot fired at him, wounding a man of his party and killing his horse.

Thia waa THE FIRST SHOT, and was instantly followed by a volley from the Indians. The work had now begun in real earnest, and, seeing tho advantage of the position he held, Lieutenant Cherry dismounted his dotaohmont and deployed along the crest of tho hill, to provent the Indians flanking his position, or to cover tho retreat if it was found necessary to retire upon the wagon train, which was thon coming up slowly, guardod by Lieutenant Paddock, Company Fifth Cavalry, orders wore boui io yam the wagons and cover them with tho company guarding them. Tho two companies in the advance were Captain Payne's Company Fif thCavalry, and Captaifa Law eon's Company Third Cavalry, which wero dismounted and deployed as skirmishers Captain Payne on tho left and Captain Lawson on tho right. From Lieutenant Cherry's position he could soe that the IndianB woro TRYING TO OUT HIM OFF from tho wagons, and at onco sent word to Major Thornburgh, who then wlthdrow the slowly, keeping the Indians iu check until opposite the point which his men hold, when, Boeing that tho Indians wero concentrating to cut off hla retreat, Captain Payne, with Company Fifth Cavalry, was ordered to charge tho hill, which HE DID IN GALLANT STYLE, his horse being shot under him and several of his mon wounded. Tho Indians having ueen urivuu ir mi point, the oompany wa3 rallied on the wagon train.

Major Thornburgh thou gave orders to' Lieutenant Chorry to hold his position and cover Captain Lawson's retreat, who was ordered to fail nacK siowiy "i horses of his company. Chorry called for volunteers of twenty men, who rospondoi promptly and fought with desperation. Their names will be given in a later dis patch, aa nearly EVERY MAN WAS WOUNDED hofnro ho reached the camp. Two men wore killed Cherry brought every wounded man in with him. Cap tain Lawson, the bravo old veteran, aispiayeu il Bre est coolness and courage during this retreat.

Bending up ammunition to Cherry's men when once thoy were nearly without it. Major Thornburgh started bock to the wagon train after giving his final ordors to Captain Payno to charge the hill, and to Captain Lawbou and Lloutonant Cherry to cover tho retreat. He must havo been shot dead whon barely half way there, as his body was seen by ono of Captain Lawson's men, 'life extinct and lying on his face. Captain Payne, thon in command at onco set about having tho wounded horses shot, to bo used for breastworks, dismantling Uio wagons of boxes and bundles of bedding, corn and flour sacks, whioh woro quickly pilod up for fortifications, PiokB and Bhovels were used vigorously for digging entrenchments. Meantime a galling Hire was concentrated upon tho command from all the surrounding bluffs, which oommanded the position.

Not an Indian onnld be seen but the incessant cracks of their Sharps aud Winchester rifles dealt fearful destruction among tho horses and men. THE GROANS OF THE DYING and the agonizing orles of the wounded told what fearful havoc was being mado among tho determined and desperate command. Every man was bound to sol his life as dearly as possible. About this time a great danger was approaching at a frightfully rapid paco. The red devils at the beginning of the fight had SET FIEE TO THE DRY OnASS and to tho sage brush to tho windward of our position, and it now camo swooping down toward us, tho flames leaping high Into the air, and immenso volumes or Bmone rolling on to engulf ub.

It was a sight to make the stoutest heart quake, and tho fiends were waiting rtady to give us a volley as soon as wo wero driven irom our shelter. Now it reaoheB the flank, and blankets, blouBes and empty sacks were freely used to extinguish tho flames. Soma of the wagons wero sei on nre, wmon re quired all the force possible to smother it. do water can bo obtained, and the smoke ia suffocating. But the fire passes, and we still hold our pOBiuon.

ine meantime, A CONSTANT VOLLEY 18 POHEED UPON US, Captain Payne being wounded for tho second time and Sergeant Dolan, of Company nuieu j. Klnstry and McKeo are killed and many othors wounded. Our greatest danger now is past. The mon navo now mostly covered themselves, but tho poor horses ana mules are constantly falling about UB. Jnnt about sundown a chargo was attempted, but was ropulsod the Indians trying to drive off some of our horses which had broken looao.
