Manager .London, Ont„ th Fate of the Benders, A PARALLEL 10R tt1U: IIIDDV.LPH TRAGEDY. A "Vigilante,” writing from Oswego, B'u'se, furnishes the Chicngo Times with the following graphic story of the disappearance of the Bender family from their haunts ill that State t The Beudere, John and his wife, and their two children, Kate and John, kept re wayside tavern about a toile and a Half southwest of elorobend station, on the road leading from independence to the Osage mission. They , were there when I moved into the country two .years before the discovery of the butohet'ies, and were well known then, Their place bac' a Bard name, and it was understood to be the headquarters of disreptatablo characters. Still, as nothing was ever laid at their doors, the Benders were not molested. Bate and John lived together as min and wife. Sloe was a red-faced, low-browed, square -shouldered amazon, e strong euough to throw a bull by the tail, and everybody stood in awe of her. She made it pretense of practicing theheal- ing art, and was known far and wide a8 a"spiritualistic doctor." Her cures were permanent, and her remedy was a hammer. Decent people avoided the Bender tavern. As the country here- abonts harbored a good many clasper - mimes about this time, i10 ono cared to rains a row, and the protest went no farther than avoidance. When search was instituted for the body of Dr. York, in April, 1873, suspicion was directed against the Benders, and, contrary to the general belief, a clubs watch was kept on them for a while They must have been aware of the sur- veillance, for at the first opportunity they decamped. They knew of the discovery of their prime within an hour after the bodies were dug out of their shallow graves, and they lost no time in striking their tents. About forty ot its organized into a pursuing party and started after the butchers. Once on their trail we had no dlfiienity in pursuing it. From the direction they were taking, it became evident to the mind of those acquainted with the country that they were point- ing for that Paradise of cut- throats, lo. cated near the mouth of the Red Fork of the Arkansas. Once there, they knew they would beesafe from pursuit. Even the United States troops have never been able to penetrate that terra i.lrcoynr:ta. It is a safe retreat for bor- der rnffiens, and is known to be such through all this section of the country. It was about three o'clock on a hot, sultry May afternoon that we came in sight of the party. They saw us as soon as we came from cover, and aban- doning everything, tbey broke for the forest. They plunged into the woods and scattered. We were close upon their heels, however, and they did not succeed in eluding us long. The old man and hid wife and Kate were under arrest in less than an hour. John, jr., was more fortunate than the other members of the tribe, for he contrived to evade us for an hour longer, but he was at length run to cover and forced to surrender. Every one of them showed fight, but with the exception of Kate they all weakened when it came to the scratch. This charming border beauty emptied every ohamber of her revolver into coir faces, but her aim was brd,and she did no serious damage beyond maiming one of our horses and clipping a loch of hair from my temple. Phe bullet raised a ridge along the skin, the work of which shows to this ,lay. She finally succumbed to super- ior strength, but to the last maintained the dare -devil reckless demeanor. The prisoners were accordingly ar- raigned and asked what they had to say in their defence. The old woman was Hallen and ugly, but the two men showed signs of faltering. Had they been left to themselves, they would have madft full confessions, she fell to eureing her brother and father for their cowardice. Fouler language was never uttered than c me from the bps of this fiend. No term was Loo vile to apply to her relatives. Tbey Conk it sullenly at first, but anon eorllething of her reckless spirit infused them, and they ton joined in the tirade. The chorus of blasphemy that went lip from that hardened lot caused a shredder to rim through our party. With dent)) staring them in the face, they united 111 cursing ti', and lamenting their in- ability to do ne harm. Stich malignity I never saw equalled, Even the old woman chipped in occasionally, and her appearance indicated thnt she wholly approved of the family demon- stration. When charged with the murders laid at their doors, the answer wee a curse, followed by Moro curses, and then a volley, a fusilade of 0011808 and ribald abuse. Our court want throngh with the form presoribed, and then pro. flounced a sentence of death. The an- nouncement was received with jeers from the hardened criminals, who had determined to brave it out to the lust. It was decided that the murderers should be shot, as it would take too much time to hang them. The sun was already nearly down, and the shadows of approaching night were deepening. There on the borders of the forest the cruel killer:' were tied to sapliuga and told to prepare for death. One of our number, who had not for- gotten his early education, uudertook to offer a prayer, but the lovely Kate spit in his face while he was address• ing the throne of grace, and he quit right in the middle of a sentence and drew oil in disgust. The four died with curses,on their lips, hardened and unrepentant to the leer. There, in that lonely, dismal slot, away beyond the confines of civilization, they mot a righteous re- tribution, and their souls, black with crime, were sent to meet the great Judge. Their executioners treated them better than they treated their in - Dement victims. They were killed quickly and painlessly, not butchered brutally. To be sure, net much time was wasted in burial, lint it was growing late, ane the vietilarits had a long ride before them. A hole, •made by the dieplaoement of the roots of a fallen cottcnwood, carts made a little larger and deeper, allcl the bodies thrown in and hastily covered .with loose earth. rocks and -brushwood. This was all there was to the funeral. This is the true history of the fate of the Benders, and when, in the future, you bear of the apprehension of any of the Bribe, you can put it down as is canard. A Terrible . tauway Accident. THE RELIEF OF DERRY. THE DAY IN INGERSOLL. On Thursday last, the one hundred and ninety-second anniversary of the relief of Derry was celebrated at Inger- soll, with accustomed ardor and die• play. Representatives were present of Orange Young Briton True Blue lodges from Toronto, Hamilton, Brant- ford, Stratford, Woodstock, London, St. Thomas, and scares of other places throughout Western Ontario. The demonstration was arranged nutter the auspices of Ing 'William 0. Y. B., Ingersoll. The following gentle- men comprised the reception c3m- mittee :—Bras. E. L. Smith (Chair- man), John Ross (Seo'y), John Armour (Treas.). W. E. Size, 0. Lindsy, R. Size, R. Robson, J. Noe, G. Dodds, D. .Dryden, D. Frazer, Lt. Walsh, G. Fisher, and W. Noe. Early in the morning the crowds be• gan to arrive in town from all direc- tions, some coming in wagons and others by train, where they were mot and warmly received by the committee. The majority made there way to the hotels in order to pronure a substantial meal prior to the afternoon celebration. The brotherhood of the town Spared no effort to make the visitors weicome,aud it is enough to s,ry that their labors were eminently successful. The good cheer of the Ingersoll body will not soon be forgotten. The members of the order in attend- ance numbered bully 1,000, while of other visitors there were probably three or four thousand. The town presented a lively appearance, the streets being, decorated with banners and mottoes of every description. At half•past one o'oloclt the proces- sion was formed on King street, ex- tending almost a mile in length- Over the heads of the boys, as they paraded the priubipal streets, flapped a dozen or move of the well known banners, and the inspiritiug music of some five or six ''ands cantributed much liveli- ness to the Occasion. About half past six o'clocic Wednes- day evening the second section of the xecursion train which left Atlantic City at 7, ran into the first section,telesoop- ing the reareecnr, killing two persons and injuring about twenty-five others. 'bbs passengers on the ill-fated train who arrived on the 5:80 express from Camden at 12p.m.give the following se. count of disaster: The excursion train consisted of 36 cars, 10 in the first and 2G in the second section. The train was filled with St. Ann's Catholic ex- cursionists from Kensiugton and Pbili delphia. The first section left Atlantic City ot six o'clock, and the emend fol- lowed soon after. When the first sec- tion reached efery's landing the engi- neer slowed and started to run on the siding to ellow the passage of the 5:30 Express from Camden. Alt the cars had passed the switch except two when the second section came thundering on behind. The engineer of the latter section wbistled "down brakes" as he Approached the switch bet when the brakes were applied they failed to work owing to the wet, and the rear 'loco- motive crashed into the last car of the first section, telesnoping it and causing fearful wreck, as the locomotive forced its way into the oar. Cylinder heads were forced open, and dense clouds of steam poured through the car, scalding nearly every' passenger in it. In an instant there was a scene of fearful excitement, and the sound of hissing steam and shrieks of terrified passengers were blended and carried through the cars, striking terror to the hearts of all. The crowded cars were soon emptied and efforts made to aid the wounded. The express arrived just as the accident oocnrred, and the passengers from it also lluiried to render assistance. The wort( of remov- ing the injured wee immediately begun and medical aid summoned. The wounded were taken to the neighboring houses, and the hest c trs of the express were switched off and fitted rip as hos- pitals, and attached to the excursion trait). In these were f'l,ioed the injured and the train proceeded to I'hilidclphie, Nhyttioans who carne down on the tvr•eeltilrg train which was telegraphed forbid the removal of a number of the iejneed •who still' remain at Mary's Lauding. r e..--.. NEW CANADIAN GOLD FIELDS. DISCOVERIES or RICK ORE ON THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR. DROWNED IN LAKE ONTARIO. S a t J 8 n t p 1 IV h n w B a t t t t 1 t The Fort William Free Press. says:— mining engineer, in company with Mr. D. McKellar and Capt. Plitohard, all of thie place, while exploring for iron, accidentally found a vein ot gold -bear- ing quartz, which is said to be the richest ever discovered on this contin- ent. Last week ttresethree gentlemen, in company with 'Messrs. N. K. Street, capitalist, P. A. Laudiug; C.N. Meek, D. L. S., Fort William; 1L•. Harris, mill-wright, and a staff of men, went down per steamer Three Friends to survey the country, locate the vein and give it thorough test. After trying several parts of the vein, these gentle• men were so thoroughly convinced that they had 'struck it rich' that they base located 820 acres of mining in the im• mediate vicinity of the vein, and a town site on a river not yet christened. They intend to commence operations as soon as they can get the stamp mill and other machinery from below. The new Eldorado is situated in one of the wildest tracts -of country on the north shore, in the midst of a succession of mountains and gnelohes with perpendi- cularcnlar walls. No doubt this vein can be traced further, and as it is only the beginning we oannot say where it will end. We have every confidence that further explorations will prove success- ful in establishing the claims of the north shore as being the greatest min• ing country on the continent. In ad- dition to their gold discovery the Messrs. McKellar and Pritchard have discovered two extraordinary ri311 lodes of magnetic ore within about 15 miles of their gold mire, but as their eyes have become dazed with looking at the precious yellow stuff no attention will be paid to the last diecovery--iron being at a discount with these gentlemen, who are already feeling themselves millionaires." 'oho iron steamship Flavien, from Liverpool to Baltimore, ran ashore on Great Island, 20 miles southwest of et John's. on the night of the 12th, during a dense fag. '.Lilo Flevian was launched a month since, and was on her first voyage and hardly 8 days out. She is of 1400 tons register, and had on board 8,000 tons of tailored cargo for Baltimore. She will probably be a tutal wreck. All lives saved. • Ap FATE OF A NEW YO3U BOOKKEEPER. The Montreal Revell' says: '(Tues - ay afternoon the steamer Corsican, of he Richelieu line. left Toronto for Iontre<r1 with a full oomplicirent P of aesengers, among she'll being Ur. H. Crawford, head bookkeeper to Messrs. James McCreary & Co„ whole - ale and retail dry roods merchants, Eleveut•h street and Broadway, New York, and Mr. Thomas Alexander, f the same firm, who were nO a tour trough Canada. Two hours were eased by them and soother gentleman n pleasant chat, in the course of willed Mr. Alexander gave Mr. Crawford a Masonic) badge to place on his watch c gain. itiir. Crawford ;shell expressed is intention of taking a stroll and reseeded alone to the 1lnrriean deet:, here he was seen by two ladies to eat bim�elf aft 001085 the taffrail, with his hack to the water and his legs a angling just above the deck. Sud- euly the boat gave a lurch and be was precipitated backward into the water. A cry of "man overboard l' was raised and the keeper of the book - 8 tall threw a chair overboard, which he nnfartunate man, struggling in the nrbalent wake of the steamer, failed o seize, He swam nobly for same ime and suddenly was seen no more. The Vose/1 was stopped and a boat was owered, but toe tato to render assist- ance, the chair which had boon thrown overboard and the bat of the unfortun- ate man alone being visible. Tile boat cruise' around for some time and then returned to the steamer, wbioh proceed- ed on her way. Mr, Alexander arriv- ed ill town on Tuesday night and stated to our reporter that there appeared to lila to be some delay in stopping the vessel and lowering a boat, although he would be sorry to impute any biome to the officers of the vessel, as the sus- pense suffered by him might naturally cause time to seem much longer than it was. The deceased was 27 years of age, and single. Mr. Alexander has telegraphed to all the stations on Lake Ontario, between Toronto and liingstou and the Richelieu Company has done likewise. A reward will be offered fox the recovery of the body. The officers of the vessel, which is now in port, as- sert that all possible haste was exercis- ed in stopping the vessel and lowering a beat. Mr, Alexander did not witness the accident. The ;Masonic badge worn by the deceased is a. cross with two swords, and bears the inscription ('Phoenix Chan'er,Petestine flommand- ery, Lebanon Lodge," and Mr. Alex- ander's name. Mr. Alexander arrived in'town 'Tuesday night. "A. few weeks ago Mr. P. McKellar, 'DROWNED AT STURGEON POINT• The drowning of Mr. Robert Wilkes, of Tnrnnto, and bis son and daughter at Sturgeon Point hotel, Monday, has cast a deep gloom over the community. Mr. Wilkes and family arrived on Sat- urday from 'Toronto to spend some liotidave, i11r. Wilkes intending to re, turn on Tuesday. The accident seems to have happened in this manner :— His only son and some others were bathing nearly in front of the hotel at what is °ailed the Sand Bar. Mr. Wilkes being out in a row boat, and when coming near the bathers, com- menced talking t0 them. His son balking towards the boat suddenly sank, the water becoming deep all of a sudden. His father jumped out of the boat to try to catch him, but they both went to the bottom. His daughter. aged 15, being near, also rushed to their rosette and also went down. Mr. Fremont, Crandell, of the hotel, on hearing cries, milled down and jumn ed in tater them, and tried his best t KM them, but they were past hope when taken out, there being no medics men there to render any assistance in trvinlr to bring life. To add to the painfulness of the melancholy accident, Mrs. Wilkes and the rest of the family were eitting on the bank. and her hus- band and children were lost in her very sight withont ability in any way to save those so dear to her, It wad specially remarked how great wee the affection existing in the family, and the lose is therefore most heartrending. Mrs. Wilkes and family have the deep. est sympathy of every one in time vioiu• it . Look out for the little neap with a linnet) on his bask, and who while he begs from y011 will not telt that he is the owner of a good deal of real estate in Toronto.
