898. WH Sat Nov. 2, 1793: From the Knoxville Gazette. On Friday the 30th ult, two Indians went to the house of Sebastian Herler [Hetler?], on the south side of Nolichucky, Washington county, 15 miles from Jonesborough, wounded and scalped his wife in a most inhuman manner, and killed his daughter 12 years old, cut off her head, carried it some distance and skinned it. Mr. Herler and a negroe were in the barn, but could not afford any assistance. On the 3d inst. a party of about 15 Indians attacked the house of Zephaniah Woolsey, on the south side of Nolichucky river, 10 miles from Green Court House, shot his wife through the head, and wounded a young woman through the thigh: they caught a young girl in the yard and scalped her, Mr. Woolsey was shot through the breast and hand. All four persons are likely to recover.
During the storm on Tuesday the 10th inst. a party of Indians pulled down the stables at Craik’s station, and stole eleven horses; on the
following evening the stole thirteen horses from Gamble’s station. By a letter from a gentleman at Lance-le-Grace to his friend in
Cumberland, we learn, that about 600 Creeks and Cherokees, on being told by the people of Saluda, that a certain Mr. Shaw, with a company, were going to build a fort and establish a settlement at the mouth of Cumberland, way laid, on the banks of the river several days, for the
coming of this company; but, being disappointed in their expectations, they divided, and about 300 of them went up the Wabash, to join the
northward Indians; the other party went down the Ohio, and took a batteau, killed twelve men, and took a white woman prisoner. On board
the batteau were three hundred rifles, a quantity of powder and lead, dry goods, rum, wine, whisky, &c. to the amount of three thousand pounds
sterling; the boat was manned by Americans.
Since our last came in a company from Cumberland, Mero District, by whom we have received the following intelligence:
About the first of August, one A. Castleman raised a party of volunteer, to assist him in retaliating a number of injuries he had received from Indians, such as killing several of his near relations, &c. On arriving near the Tennessee, ten of his company turned back, because Gen. Robertson’s orders prohibited all scouting parties from crossing the Tennessee; but Castleman and four others did cross the Tennessee, as is generally supposed, just below Nickajack; and about ten miles beyond the river, on a plain road, which led, as they supposed, to Will’s Town, came upon a party of forth or fifty Indians, at breakfast; they were within thirty steps of them before they saw the Indians, on whom they instantly fired, and say they saw several fall. This happened on the 14th of August. On the 21st they all got safe back to Nashville. This party of Indians they have no doubt were on their march for war, against the Cumberland settlers, as they had large bundles, but no squaws on horses with them, and were painted black. About the 4th of last month, Captains Reins and Gordon pursued a party of Indians who had killed one Samuel Miller near Joslin’s station: after crossing Duck river, they found their sign was very fresh. On putting them about seven miles farther, came up with them, and killed five on the ground, and took a sixth prisoner, a boy about 12 years old; the seventh had address enough to make his escape, by calling out that he was a Chickasaw. They proved to be Creeks, from the Uphawlie towns, on examining the prisoner.
On the 20th, the owner of an evacuated house, in Tennessee county, having gone to his plantation, discovered signs that Indians were there.
He turned back to the station, and collected a party of men, seven in number, and went in the night to search for the Indians. They met them
on the path, and fired at them. Next morning they found one Indian dead on the ground, and two traces of blood making off, by which it appears
there were some wounded. The Indians did not return the fire.
On the 21st, the Indians killed the widow Baker, and all her family, except two, who made their escape. Her family of children were numerous.

899. WH Sat Nov. 2, 1793: Philadelphia, October 26. The committee for the relief of the sick and distressed feel the highest pleasure in
announcing to their fellow citizens throughout the United States, that the abatement of the disorder is beyond all expectation, and afford the
most flattering prospect of our soon being freed from it entirely. They however strongly recommend to the absent citizens of Philadelphia, not
to return for a week or ten days, or until we have some considerable rains; as the change of air would prove dangerous, and might probably be
fatal to many. Matthew Clarkson, President.

900. WH Sat Nov. 2, 1793: New-York, October 28. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, Oct. 15. “I have the pleasure of informing you that
we all continue well, and that the disorder in this city is going off very fast; we had a rain of about ten hours continuance about ten days
ago, since that we have had some smart frosts, and an agreeable change of weather, and the disorder has been daily getting better ever since,
so that we begin to get cheerful and happy; many families are coming in, and should we have another fall of rain and a few sharp frosts, which
may be now naturally expected, there is every reason to think the disease will disappear.”

901. WH Sat Nov. 2, 1793: New-York, Oct. 29. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, Oct. 27. "The fever that drove you from this city is so
fast vanishing, that I think you and yours may return in the course of this week with safety: but could you stay a few days longer, without too
great inconveniency, perhaps it would render the matter more certain. We have very few taken down, ad but few burials; so that the doctors and grave diggers are quite out of employ.”

902. WH Sat Nov. 2, 1793: Hartford, October 21. In the night of the 11th instant the dwelling house of Mr. Ezekiel Markham, in New-Hartford, was consumed by fire. It is supposed the fire was occasioned by the husks which the family had left in the house the preceeding evening; and so rapid was the progress of the fire, that Mr. Markham’s three eldest sons, one 17, another 14, and a third, 9 years of age, who slept in the chamber above where the husks were left, were consumed by the flames. If any thing can add to this affecting and melancholy scene by which Mr. Markham is robbed of the flower and strength of his family, it is the loss of a large crop of corn.

murder of Capt. Elisha Allen, of Princeton, on the 16th day of July last. This man, just ten years before he murdered Capt. Allen, killed
his Father, for which horrid crimes he was tried, but acquitted by the jury, who supposed him to be insane. Before execution a sermon was
preached by the Rev. Aaron Bancroft, to a very large audience. The criminal was present. After which he was carried to the place of
execution. He shewed few or no signs of penitence. On being asked by the High Sheriff if he wished to say any ting to the spectators, he answered that he had not much to say; he would not have them follow him. The High Sheriff repeatedly asked him if he wished he execution delayed? He answered, as often as asked, No!; as he was to go (that was his expression) it had better be soon over.

934. WH Sat Nov. 30, 1793: Philadelphia, Nov. 13. Committee Chamber, City Hall, Nov. 14th, 1793. After the long continued distress with which our city hath been afflicted, the committee have the happiness to congratulate their fellow citizens upon the return of a great degree of
health, they unanimously believe, as usually prevails at this season of the year. They have heard of no new cases in the malignant fever for
many days; and they have great reason to suppose, that there will not remain any vestige of it in the city or suburbs after a few days.
Applications for admission to the hospital at Bush-Hill have ceased. Of ninety one patients who still remain there the physicians are not
apprehensive of loosing above three or four, the convalescents encrease daily. Among the great number of our citizens who retired to the
country, it doth not appear that one of them hath been attacked by the disorder since their return; reports to the contrary have been
circulated, which upon investigation have proved to be false. Purifying the houses where the disorder has been, is essentially necessary to
prevent future infection. The committee think it incumbent upon them to repeat to their fellow citizens, and to urge in the most pressing manner the performance of this important duty. Cloathing, either for the body or beds, which hath been made use of by the sick, and more particularly for those who have died of the disorder, should be washed, baked, buried, or destroyed. The loss which would attend a total destruction, will not, it is hoped, be put in competition with the life or health of an individual, much less with those in the community. The Committee are of opinion, that our fugitive brethren, as well as others, who have business to transact, may safely come to the city, without danger from the late prevailing disorder. Matthew Clarkson.

935. WH Sat Nov. 30, 1793: New-London, November 28.

Wayne lost 500 men killed. The army had not penetrated so far as the ground on which Gen. St. Clair was defeated.

936. WH Sat Nov. 30, 1793: Norwich, November 28. Tuesday Evening last at about half past six o’clock a Fire broke out in the large Store at
Chelsea, the property of Captain William Hubbard. It being in the centre of the buildings and the wind rather high, the scene for some time wore a most threatening aspect; but soon the wind abating, and through the spirited exertions of the Citizens, at about 9 o’clock the flames were so reduced as to leave but little apprehensions of further damage. By this fatal catastrophe the Meeting House, four dwelling Houses, Seven Stores and Shops, and Four Barns, were wholly consumed; most of the Goods, and Household furniture, were saved. The principal sufferers are Messrs. Levi Huntington, Benadam Dennsion, George Cleveland, Wheeler & Levi Coit, Lynde M’Curdy, Hezekiah Perkins & Co., Joseph Howland, Andrew & Joseph Perkins, William Coit, Thomas King, Coit & Lathrop. Several others have met with some loss on the occasion.
