Hoffible Bdfchery Sfa Little
Gffi by Il Religious Lunafic.

BOsroN, May 2.-Sometlmc yester-
day Charles f. Freeman, of Poclssett.
Mass. in a freak of religious frenzy
killed. his fve-year. old daughter Edith.
The man is Second Adventist, and has
become greatly excited during the last
few days vile attending series OF re-
vival meetings. About a week ago he
claimed to have received wonderful
revelatioE,n and has not eaten or slepl
since. He says that the Lord directed
him to safrificc his little daughter, and
declares that she will rise again in three
days. The little one was transfXed
with a Knife by her insane father, and
her blood was poured out upon table

Freeman is about IS years old, and
lives with his wife and family on his
farm in Pocassett. He has lived in Pa
cassett. about seven years, and is in
moderate circumstances. He is insane
only on this one subject. Further par
tirulars state that Freeman. who is the
mai.carrier AT Pacassett between the
railroad station and the postoiiice, woke
his wife at $50. O'Clock on Thursday
morning and told her he must make Il
sacrifice to the Lord Of his youngest
daughter. tie got up aud took the
child from her bed and stabbed her in
the side with a butcher knife. causing
her death. His wife said it was all
right, aud that Abraham would raise
her up next Sunday. Freeman says
the child gave one scream and dIeda
minute afterwards. 1t is stated that
the Second Adventlsls held Il meeting
at Frceman's house the same afternoon,
and appeared to wish the affair kept
quiet. Freeman carried the mail as
usual, and showed no insanity. The
cause of the terrible deed appears to be
religious excitement alone. Freeman
is now at his residence in charge OF off

THE President having vetoed the
army bill on account Of the amendments
prohibiting the use Of troops at the
polls, the issue is fairly made up. Con-
gress must either insist upon the position
taken or lnsloriously back down. They
may pass the bill In regard to the use Of
troops separately, and this seems to be
the policy determined upon, and IL that
should be vetoed BY The President, tie
only true policy for the Democrats TO
pursue, is to hold their position, and let
the President bear the responsibility.
