Crook Explains Mew the Moetiles Got Upoa the Reservation. Washington, June 27 Secretary Lincoln today received the following dispatch from Gen. Crook, dated Whip ple Barracks yesterday: "The report that the Chirahuahuas hare been forced upon the San Carlos reservation is in correct. The f sets in the case are that those who had surrendered were sent forward under a guard of four com panies of cavalry and Indian scouts, my instructions to Capt. Crawford being that the Chirchahuas should be kept with the scouts until other ar rangements could be made. The Chir chuahuaa who went after their families told me that they would join she col umn at the Lane, or should we have gone to 3 fast then they would follow along the mountains and come in at San Carlos. We have no means of communicating with them until they come in at the agency, and if the first arrivals find that those who started back with us are not with the scouts we destroy all chances of erer reducing them to a state of peace. The Indians on the San Carlos are in no danger of being contaminated by contact with the Chlrchuahuaa. As a matter of humanity 1 am anxious to get in the last of this band so as to leave nothing undone for the recover of the captive boy." . Aa other Batch of MAiite4" Paapere AWvtto Sail.

Early in the fore noon a great crash was. heard down by the cotton platf ornuuid a crowd rushed there to find a big freight engine in trouble on the bridge over Pouxth street. A misplaced switch threw, the engine from one track almost on to an other, knocking up cross-ties and dirt in a lively manner. The fact of the engine falling to the right saved a great accident, for had It gone to the left it would have fallen from the bridge and down the high embankment. It was a bad wreck, and it required a hard days work to get the engine, on the rails again. , The front trucks were consid erably damaged, and the engine was slightly injured otherwise.' Down the track, about fifty yards ahead of this wreck, the big shifting engine of the Richmond & Danville road was seen to be In trouble. It bounced a switch and every wheel left the track, f A squad of msn were at work for several hours with levers and Jack acre we before it was righted.

A YEAY GRATE CHARGE. Arrest of Two Yoiif flu u the Charge of Robbiag the Hails Exam- maUoa Waived and Bail Allowed ia ' the Sena of seoo Caarces .Broagkt T the Poetonlee Iaspeetor. ; All day yesterday Mr. Henry B. Gil lespie late postmaster at Davidson College, and Mr. James F. Gamble, his late assistant in office, were confined in a room at the Baford House, in charge of a United States marshal. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the three men, accompanied by Mr: L. B. Lamson, postoffice inspector, left on the train for Davidson College, where an investiga tion of the affairs of the office at that place are to be made- to-day. 'An in- -vestigatlon of a little stealing affair In which Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Gamble were said to be concerned had already been made. Gillespie was arrested In this city last Tuesday, but as a publication of the matter at that time would, probably have defeated the . ends of Justice and prevented the capture of hi accom plice, we refrained from making men tion of it. Tuesday evening Mr. Lam son left for Davidson College, taking Gillespie with him, and yesterday morn ing be returned to the city, bringing Gillespie and Gamble together. They were taken before TJ. S. Commissioner Waring f or trial on the charge of rob bing the mail; but' waived examiner tion and each, waa I put under a bond of 9000. Being under charge of Mr. liamson, they did not give bond. Mr. Lamson is not through with them yet, as besides the robbery there are- alletced irregularities in the Davidson College postoffice to investi gate, and he wants their presence there until the.investi gallon shall have been made, after which he will bring them back to this city, when they may either give bond or go to JaiL The ex-postmaster and his assistants are charged with having robbed the mails of 6290, and the money, the origi nal bills, were found in Gillespie's pocket when he was arrested in this city Tuesday morning. The circum stances of the robbery are about th About four weeks ago, Gillespie turned out of the postoffice at D. C, and Mr. Jas. II. Gougsr was installed ia his stead. Gamble, who was assist ant to Gillespie, remained In the office as assistant to the new postmaster, and himself and Gillespie had free access to the office. On Ue 18th of June, Mr Gouger put 8290 of the surplus offise funds in a registered package and for warded it to the department af Rich mond. The package came to Charlotte, where ft was put in one of the special through poaches and forwarded direct to Washington City, thence to Rich mond, without having come in contact with the bands of the route agents. These special through poaches are pro vided with a dial, or disk, that changes a number every time the pouch is opened, and it is beyond the power of any man to open the pouch without it being discovered. The pouch had not been opened when it arrived at Rich mond. The registered package of the Davidson College postmaster was found In the poach, but on the package being opened, it was found to be empty. It was clear that the robbery had been done In the Davidson College office or while it was en route to the Charlotte office. On the 19th day of June, Gilles pie, through Mr. Gouger, forwarded a registered package to the Raleigh office containing $115, the balance due the Government by Gillespie. This package arrived at Raleigh minus its contents. Last Monday morning the case waa put in the hands of Mr. Lamson, and yes terday he had the two men under ar rest. Mr. Lamson's charge is that Gillespie and Gamble robbed the $290 package, and on the next day, Gillespie gave the postmaster 9115 of this money to for ward to Raleigh to cover his Indebted ness to the office and then stole the lis back again before it left the Da vidson College office. Mr. Lamson atates that Gillespie and Gamble were Just on the eve of leaving the State, and Gamble, on being arrest ed, admitted that his trunk waa packed and he was getting ready to go West The $290 was all in 820 bills except one f 10, and was all new, crisp greenbacks. Oa being asked where he got the money Gillespie stated that he made It in the revenue business. If either of the two would make any statement whatever in regard to the affair.' ! They will be tried for embezzlement in addition t3 robbery of the mails, I . - ' Both the young men whose names are thus unfortunately brought before the public, come from most respectable parentage. Gillespie's father is well known in this county, is a man of con siderable means, and a man who enjoys the esteem and respect of all, and there is not a better man in the county than young Gamble's father. It is one of these unfortunate cases that the news papers are once in a while called upon to report. - ; v'.v During the -past five months, Mr. Lamson has hunted down and captured seventeen postoffice embezzlers and maQ robbers, two of , whom are now in the Chester, Illinois, penitentiary, one in Albany penitentiary, and' the others in Jails, either under or awaiting sen tence. He has never failed in a single effort at tracing ji up case, and has never let a man escape. , I. , r ' A egortflo for casaata-o of XAf . ' We are in reoafpt of a letter from J.T.

From tbe surrounding indications it appears that the little child had been standing on a trough with her head in the baiter, when her feet slipped, and the halter, drawing around her chin, held her auspended until life was ex tinct. One end of the baiter had been thrown oyer a hinge at the top of the door, and was tied below in a manner forming a loop, and as the little girl fell the loop caught under her chinvdrawing her head back against the door facing, holding It tightly in that position. Her neck was broken by the f alL When her father left that morning the little girl was playing about the barn door, and it Is supposed that she must have begun playing with the halter and the sad ac cident happened shortly after he left.

A rUlroad man whe was there at the tim?, told us that a trestle between Alexander's and Warm Springs was washed away last Sunday. Yesterday he reiterated bis assertion. and told us that the trestle had really been washed away. If the citizen will interview the road master and he says we are mistaken, then why, we will take it back. It was given to us on good reliable authority, such as we had no reason in the world to doutt, and as an item of news it went into ;type. When we get an item of news, and one which we have reason to believe' to be true, our tongue - must cleave to the roof of pur mouth and both our hands must be palsied to prevent it going into print.

Cerrespondenee Journal Obeervec Shzlbt. June 27. Oar town ex tremely lonesome since tbe Baptist Sunday School Convention. Our streets wore tbe appearance of a city during tbe convention, nut now tney almost look like the streets of a backwoods country town. Nothing but tbe con vention has been sposen of scarcely since ; ho wever,e very one seems to have been greatly refreshed by the presence of the delegates, and nothing but the greatest enjoyment is expressed as hav ing been experienced by our citizens, and the wish of every one seems to be: "Send us many more such." Refreshing rains have visited us with in tbe past few days, and in the imme diate vicinity around our town. They were greatly needed, and. of course, are greatly on joyed. Our county, however, has not suffered for rain in any portion that we know of. In fact, from some parts we hear the cry of "too much.rain." Our farmers are happy harvesting a big crop of wheat and oats, and in the en joyment of finer crop prospects than usuaL - Two young men of our town have jest completed a useful invention, let ters patent for which have been applied for. It is a "Bind Cutter and Feeder" to attach to threshers, which will do away with the work of at least two hands. It has boon tested, and proved a success. ;-K- The division ef business into differ ent lines, spoken of in your columns a few weeks since, failed in being carried out. A few "weak knees could not stand tbe pressure at the final moment and "crawfished." But, from what we can learn, we think it has been given such an impetus that it will eventually go into effect, though it may be by de grees. Our tobacco factories are booming. They each turn out from 800 to LjOOO pounds per day, aad within the last two weeks Messrs Boetie Bros & Wright have shipped 300 boxes, and orders are coming in daily. They make some eight or ten different grades, all of which have considerable reputation, and - a member of the firm tells us they are be hind in orders of twp grades, so great is the demand. The other factory, Messrs Miller Bros, seem to be holding for the rise in plug, which the late advances in leal foresnadow. . N Ground is being broken for tbe com mencement next week of the erection of a row of four handsome brick stores which' Mr Arthur Wrary is going to build, and the sound of trowel and ham mer is heaid in all direction a Our town is being dotted all over with new dwell ings of modern style of architecture, which will prove ornaments to our growing and prosperous little burg; Veb. 2. 188a I snow Hop Bitters wm bear leenmmendsnon honestly.
