A CONGRESSMAN INDICTED.

The Hon. w. S. King, Congressman
from Minnesota, is in trouble. Some
years since when the Pacific Mail Com
pany spent million or thereabouts
bribing Congress to substitute their
steamship line, William S. King, or as
he is Familiarity called "Bill King"
was Congressional Postmaster. Early
in the investigation of the bribery case
by a Congressional Committee last
winter, Bill King testified that he never
received one dollar, directly or indi-
rectly, for the purpose of procuring the
passage through Congress of the Pa
cific Mail subsidy bill. Though the
witness had just been elected to Con-
gress, his reputation was of such char
acter as to leave doubt on the minds
of the Committee as to the truth of his
evidence. Aware of the existence of
this doubt, and to avoid complications
that might arise from cross examine
ton after other witnesses had thrown
more light on the bribery question,
King fled to the British possessions.
and braved the rigors of Canadian
winter rather than confront the Com
mittee again on the witness stand. In
vain subpenas for his appearance were
issued by the Committee and placed in
the hands of ergeants-at-arms, who
secured the country in search of the
absconding witness. In vain the Leg
islature of Minnesota, in which State
he was elected to Congress last fall, re-
quested him to appear and explain; but,
being beyond the jurisdiction of both,
he paid no attention to either. Imme-
diately after the adjournment of Con-
gress. however, he appeared at Wash
ington, and secured the reappointment
of friend as Postmaster in st. Paul,
Minnesota, through the direct influence
of the President But alas for Bill
King The Grand Jury of the District
OF Columbia, just one week ago in
dicted him for purjury, and he is to be
tried on that charge in the Courts at
Washington. Through the interven-
ton of friends no bench warrant was
issued in his case, and the Hon. w. S.
King, Congressman from Minnesota,
again has occasion to visit Canada.

A TORNADO passed over the village of
Greens Springs, Ohio, on the 10th in
slant, blowing down three houses, by
which two children were killed. In its
course horthward it blew down houses
and barns, and destroyed trees and
fences. Along the line of the Lake
Shore Railroad scarcely a building es-
capped uninjured. The course of the
storm was from south to north, and its
track about two miles wide.

trary, he is fond of joke, and yester-
day, while experimenting the arrang-
ing of the goods in his store, he fire.
quently laughed at the ideas presented
by his managing man. He came up
on Friday night, and passed the entire
day in his store. Indeed, | saw him
there as late as half-past II O'Clock at
night. That is how he got rich, by
attending to his business in person.
Stewart bought the Union few years
ago for $570, 900. Since then he has
spent as much more upon the struct-
ure in enlargements and improvements,
until now it is the most extensive and
perfect caravansary in the world. He
aud his wife occupy a suit of three
rooms in the hotel, directly over the
main entrance. They have been fine
ly, but not lavishly fitted up by him,
each window being provided with a
little balcony, nicely shaded by the
fine old trees that extend along the
entire front of the hotel. Mrs Stewart
Is mild, unpretentious lady, with an
exceedingly amiable countenance, and
cOnverses cordially with her friends.
They are, in fact, the most undemon-
strative couple here, and one would
hardly imagine, to judge by their man
ner, that they were, with one or two
exceptions, the wealthiest people in
America. Stewart says he intends
expending a further large sum on the
Improvement and enlargement of the
Union next winter 1t Is one of his
pet projects, and he proposes giving it
corresponding attention.

A. L. Stewart at Saratoga.

A correspondent writes from the Sa-
ratoga to the Philadelphia Press
A. L. Stewart is just now the big
gest lion, and a great sensation he is
creating here just at present among
the local merchants. You see, after
spending $1,000 on his big hotel,
the Grand Union, he found he had two
elegant stores to let. With character
lstic enterprise he fitted them up in
elegant style, and is moving in stock
of goods. Now the storekeerers here,
Notwithstanding that this very day
should remind them that ours is a free
country, declare that A. T. S. has no
business to come here to undersell
them and rule their trade, but the big
merchant does not see the thing in that
light, and laughs at the terribly exer-
cised merchants. Stewart is indeed a
remarkable man. He is little, thin,
wiry fellow, with pale, thoughtful
face, light blue, reflective eyes, reddish
gray short whiskers, and very quiet in
manner. He dresses in black, and
goes peering into every nook and cor
of the store in way that makes his
employees very nervous. When talk
ing he invariably twirls his eyoglass on
his finger or pats the palm of his hand
with black glove. When you speak
to him he looks at you searchingly for
a moment before he replies, as if to
read you through, habit that arises
from his wonderful faculty of reading
human nature. He is not so serious
as he has been painted on the con-

fired. He kept loading and firing so
fast that the enemy suspecting there
was detachment in ambush in the
grove on that hilltop, around whose
base they would be compelled to wind,
and halted in doubt At length de
sachment of troops was sent up the
hill to ascertain what this solitary
firing meant. The doctor saw them.
but made no attempt to escape. On
the contrary, he kept loading and firing
as fast as he could compelling it to ad-
vance cautiously. At length, when
dashed into the cover, they found no
one but venerable man in black coolly
reloading his piece. The commanding
officer, amazed at the singular spectacle
of one man fighting whole army, ex-
claimed:
"You old fool, what are you doing
there firing on his Majesty's troops?"
"Exercising the rights of war"
cody replied the staunch old patriot
The extreme audity of the thing
seemed to amuse the officer, and he
said:
eff I let you go this time, you old
rascal, will you ever fire again on the
troops of his Majesty!'
''Nothing more ltkely," was the i'm
perturbable reply.
This exasperated the Briton, and he
ordered the soldiers to seize him.
They did so, and dragged him roughly
down the hill to the head of the column,
to act as a guide to the town They
would not allow him his horse, and he
was ordered to move along on foot.
The volunteers, in their retreat, had
torn up the planks of the bridge in
order to retard the enemy, and they
were compelled to march two miles
farther to the north before they could
cross the river. 1t was the fifth day
of July and the hottest one of the year.
DIR. Dagget, unused to such a long
march under such a burning sun at
noonday soon gave signs of exhaustion.
But the moment he halted, the soldiers
would prick him with their bayonets
and at the same time shower curses
and opproborious epithets on him.
Long before the four or five miles were
accomplished, the wearied professor
would be compelled, every now and
then, to stop and reel as if about tc
fall; but, caught on the points Of the
bayonets and pelted with oaths, he
would be forced onward, while the
blood flowed in streams down his
dress. At length the town was reach
ed, when the enemy began to shoot
such struggling citizens as had remain
ed behind. DR.. Dagget expected every
moment to share their fate, but, scorn-
ing to ask for mercy, he staggard on
and finally fell prone on the green in
front of his own college. A Tory,
passing by, recognized him as he lay,
faint and bleeding, on the grass, and
requested the officer to release him
He did so, and the good divine was
removed to house near by, more dead
than alive. His wounds were dressed,
but they, combined with his utter ex-
haustion, brought him to the verge of
the grave. He at length rallied and
was able part of the next year to
preach in the chapel, but his constitu-
tion never recovered from the shock it
had received, and in sixteen months he
was born to his grave. He was cheer
ed, however, in his last nom ents, by
the consciousness that the liberty OF
of the land for which he had died
would be secured.
