Horrible Cruelty and CYiminality
Of q Man.

LA CROSSE, Wis.,, Feb. IA horri.
BILE case of child starving has just
come to light near Chaseburg, small
village II miles south Of here, the par
ticulars of which are as follows :
About four years ago Carl Walland
and wife settled on the ridge two
miles from Chaseburg. He was q
rough character, and abused his wife,
and made himself so obnoxious to the
neighbors that they would have
nothing to do with him. During the
first year of his residence in that sec.
ton, when his wife was about to be
confined, he drove her from the house,
and the child was born in the straw
stack. She then went into the house
with the child in her arms, but was
refused admission by the brutal hus-
band. She went to the granary and
q twin brother was born. During
this neglect one of the babies and the
mother died, and the other, being
taken by the heartless father, lived in
poor health. Walland soon married
again and his wife became q mother
about month since. The surviving
child of the first wife died of starva-
tion and neglect on Monday last, and
was buried secretly at night by the
father in the burying-ground. The
new-made grave excited the suspicion
of the neighbors toward Walland,
and on being interrogated he ,ac-
knowledged that his child had died
and had been buried as above stated,
by himself. The sheriff was called
on and the body was exumed and q
coroner's jury summoned which, on
the statement of . physician, brought
in a verdict that the child starved to
death. No arrests have yet been
made, but probably will be to-mor-
row; otherwise the neighbors threat
en- to lynch Walland. The child, al
though two years of age at the time
Of its death, had never walked, and
had lain in crib wallowing in filth
for q week at time.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Second Session-44th Congress-
SENATE.

w WASHlNGTON, req. ID.
After the morning hour the Senate
laid aside temporarily the Pacific
Railroad bill, in order to consider the
resolution for the arrest of Conrad
Jourdan, Cashier of the Third Ma
tional Bank Of New York, who failed
to appear and testify concerning ac-
counts of Tilden, Pelton and Hewitt.
Mr.. Mitchell referred to the testi-
mony in the case of the Oregon elec-
tors and said $4,000 were placed to
the credit of Oregon Democratic lead
ers for use in the Watts Cronin con-
troversy. This money came direct
from Samuel j. Tilden here, as the
testimony showed the whole conspir-
acy originated.
Mr.. Herman argued that Jourdan
had been subpoenad by an individual
member of the committee and not by
the whole committee. Had not Mr..
Mitchell gone into the testimony be-
fore it was all in, he (kernan) would
not refer to the matter. He stated
that the money was originally raised
to compel Governor Grover by legal
process not to give a certificate to
Watts, for which Republicans were
making an attempt. kilograms were
sent to New York for the purpose of
getting the Democratic National Com.
mittee to bear the expense, and money
was forwarded which was subse-
quently returned. He had no idea
Tilden's books would show that any
money was improperly used. He
was tor full Investigation.
After discussion the resolution was
adopted Without division,

Packard's Would-be assassin.

MOBILE, Feb. 16.-Weldon tho
Packard assassin, was sent to Mobile
last October, recommended by q
member of the house of Claflin & Co.,
to take service with p. p. Pepper &
Co., a wealthy dry goods house here,
and was engaged by Pepper, and
remained until ten days ago. After
quitting he took to drink, and prob
ably on that account, coupled with a
little love matter, did some wild
things. Last Sunday he informed an
acquaintance that he was going to
kill himself, and had already secured
a room at Mandrick's restaurant.
The last seen Of Weldon at Pepper
u Co.'S. was on the morning Of the
18th, when he called and received
his pay and bade the cashier good
bye, saying he was not going to re-
main here, and that he had something
else on hand. All who knew him
here say that his resolution must
have been taken over the drinking
table while here. He said his father
was Lutheran minister in Phila-
delphia. He was never known to
take any part or interest in politics.
An acquaintance says he has not been
in condition of responsibility for
more than week.

Tho Panic One Man Caused in 9
ColoIed Church.

Mr.. Dolde, the giant powder man,
has the reputation of being q practi-
cal joker, but his last performance
may be regarded as going to extremes
too great to place it within the pale
even of allowable waggery. Mr..
Dolde is interested in powder man
ufactory at Delassus, in st. Francois
county, and on last Sunday, while in
company with crowd Of gay was
sailers in that place, q bet was made
that D0lde dare not enter church
near Pennington, occupied by col
orcd congregation, dressed in his
Boyton suit, used in swimming, OF
which he is the owner. Dolde &C.
cepted the challenge. He put on his
Boyton suit, inflated it with air as il
ready to plunge into the river, and,
placing fuse in his mouth, and car
rying a powder-tester in his hand, he
entered the church. He walked up
the aisle spouting forth fire from his
mouth, and at the same time cxplOd-
ing his powder-tester. The congre.
cation were struck with consterna-
ton and imagined that the devil had
come up this time sure. The pas
tor caught the infection. and, after
breathing forth short ejaculatory
prayer, he turned round, kicked out
the window at the rear of the pulpi,
with MS foot and jumped outside
me members of the congregation
tumbied over each other in their Of.
forts to reach the door, and soon the
church was evacuated. The result
was that the perpetrator of the wick.
ed joke was arrested by the Sheriff
of st. Francois county and kent IN
jail over night when, ON tho inferno.
