WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Dem
ocrats of the House held a caucus
this afternoon. 1t continued for
several hours. Every precaution is
being taken to prevent publication
Of the proceedings. A caucus of
Democratic Senators was also held
to-day, and its members arc equally
reticent regarding the proceedings.
There seems to be no doubt that
the general policy of the Demo
cratic party, in view of the veto,
was the subject of very wide and
animated discussion, without as yet,
definite caucus action thereon.
The Cabinet to day resumed the
discussion of Indian affairs and re-
solved to take decisive action to
prevent the invasion of whites into
the Indiao Territory.
In the Senate, the Kellogg
Spofford contest went over with the
expiration Of the moring hour.
The Health bill was further con-
sidered, and the vote will be taken
on Monday, the pending question
being its recommittal.

them in the Southern Pacific Rail-

tions.to investigate the claim Of Mr..
Spofford to Mr.. Kellogg's seat.
Mr.. Hoar offered a substitute, de-
claring that the former action Of the

Grafton of the bill to prevent the

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, Va, May "A man
giving his name as w. II. Michael,
and representing himself as fruit
and commission merchant Of Phila-
delphia, was arrested here to-day,
charged with forging a draft for
two thousand dollars on the Girard
National Bank Of Philadelphia, and
a check for one thousand dollars on
the State Bank of Virginia, which
he had given to parties here in
effecting bogus purchases of the
two former. In one of the
transactions he was known as
Jas. c. Virttre, and rep
resented himself as a retired
United States naval officer. The
prisoner was committed to jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
A dispatch from Warrenton, Va,
says: Eustice Smith, aged eighteen
years, surrendered himself to the
.jailor here early this morning, sta
ting that he had shot and killed his
father, Bennett Smith, The suppo-
sition is that it was his purpose to
frighten his father because of cruel
treatment, and not to kill him.

MASSACHUSETTS.

/ Boston, May 2.-Some time
yesterday Chas. F. Freeman, of
Parcassett, Massachusetts, in a
freak of religious frenzy, killed his
FIVE year old daughter, Edith, the
man is a Second Adventist, and
had become greatly excited during
the last few days while attending a
series of revival meetings. About
a week ago he claimed to have re-
ceived ga wonderful revelation, :"
and has not eaten or slept since.
He says the Lord directed him to
sacrifice his little daughter, and de
clares that she will rise again in three
days. The little one was stabbed
with knife by her insane father,
and her blood was poured out upon
table, which was improvised as an
altar. Freeman has driven every
one from his house, and has not yet
been secured. He has talked, and
barred the doors and windows, and
being supplied with firearms, he
threatens death to any one
who shall interfere. An
effort will be made by the au-
thorities to capture him to-day.
Freeman is about thirty-fve years
old, and lives with his wife and
family on his farm at Parcassett.
He has lived in Parcassett about
seven years, and is in moderate
circumstances. He is insane only
on this one subject.
Further particulars from the
Parcassett Mass tragedy state that
Freeman, the mail carrier at Par
cassett, between the railroad station
and the postoffice, woke his wife at
$3.50 o'clock Thursday morning and
told her he must make sacrifice to
the Lord of his youngest daughter.
He got up, took the child from her
bed and stabbed her in the side with
butcher-knife, causing her death.
His wife said it was all right, and
that Abraham would raise her up
next Sunday. Freeman says the
child gave one scream and died a
minute afterwards. 1t is stated that
the Second Adventists held a meet
ing at Freeman's house the same
afternoon, and appeared to wish
the affair kept quiet. Freeman car
ried the mail as usual, and showed
no signs Of insanity. The cause Of
the terrible deed appears to be reo
igiOus excitement alone.
Freeman is now at his residence
in charge of officer Redding and
DR.. c. J. Wood, of Parcassett. He
informed a reporter to-day that he
was told by God to offer Edith, his
young and beautiful daughter, as a
sacrifice to Him, and that he did SO,
as God would not stay his hand he
had to do His commands, and He
would justify him in his act.
