A BLOODY LUNATIC
Sacrifices His Little Five-year-old

He Says She will Rise Again il

BosTON, MASS, May CHARLES f.
Freeman, of Pocassett, Mass, yester-
day killed his fye-year-old daughter.
The man is Second Adventist and
has been attending revival meetings,
About a week ago he claimed to have
received a most wonderful reyela-

that she will arise in three days.
Yesterday he sent word t%oneighbors

the afternoon a number of Adyentists
assembled at his house, but the child
had then been killed. The little one
was killed with a knife, and her blood
poured out on a table ~improyised as
an altar. Freeman had driven every
one from the house and locked and
barred the doors and windows, and
having firearms, threatens death tC

FEROCIOUS FRANCE.
A Sensational Street Fight in the Mound
City.

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.l
ST.. Louis, April 30.-Since the re-
cent incarceration of the lottery men
there has been very bad feeling be-
tween their friends and Wakefield and
McChesney, the parties who caused
the suits against them to be instituted,
with the ultimate view of forcing
them to purchase immunity from
police interference from DR.. Nidelet,
the vice president of the board Of
police commissioners at that time.
Mr.. c. w. France, who, as the head
of the Lottery Company, and who is
now about the only one of the lottery
men left with his personal freedom,
and consequently the only one left to
defend his case on the outside of the
city Jail, was purchasing some tickets
about l o'clock this afternoon, at the
Olympic Theater, when his eye fell
upon the passing form of Mr.. H.. B.
Wakefield. He Immediately sprang
upon and seized that gentleman by the
throat, saying, at the same time, I" |
have made up my mind to thrash you
the first time | saw you, and I'm going
to give it to you, you perjured villain.
You had better stop trying to break
up my business.
This was a surprise to the rose
scented gentleman with the little hat,
and in the confusion of the moment
he took to his heels and ran for dear
life, and being much longer in the legs
than France, made good his escape for
the time being.
Later in the afternoon France, who
was by this time regularly on the war
path, met Wakefield, McChesney and
a third party on the corner of Sixth
and Walnut streets, when he singled
out Wakefield and gave him a terrible
drubbing with his fists. A policeman
arrived before the job was finished,
but no one present wanted any arrests
made, so the affair is ended for the
present, though France declares that
if it has to come to shooting he will
be fully avenged upon the despoilers
of his profitable business.

Left-TaiIed Dogs.

An Englishman who has recently
arrived at Philadelphia is shocked to
see so many left-tailed dogs in the
streets, and feels it his duty to call
public attention to the fact. Your
excellent American oysters" he writes
to the editor of the Telegraph, A" your
roast beef, poultry and superior shad
have, | f~ear'ycaused a very provoking
attack of govt, which will prevent me
from visiting the beneh-show of dogs,
to open on Monday next. If the dogs
to be exhibited prove to be of no bet
ter breed than the dogs | have noticed
along your streets, the exhibition will
not prove very creditable. AT least
ninety in every one hundred dogs |
have noticed in this city curl their
tails to the left, an evidence of low
breed and danger. Dogs that curl
their tails to the right are never
afflicted with hydrophobia that fatal
disease prevails only among dogs that
curl their tails to the left. No gentle
man of London or any city on the con-
tinent will own a dog or allow a dog to
follow him that curls its tail to the
left"

The late Mr.. Bacon, whose murder
has recently been announced, was a
remarkable horseman, and his cool
ness and courage in all that related to
such matters were well known to all
his friends. A thrilling incident is
related in regard to Mr.. Bacon's nerve
and hOrsemanship. Two or three
years ago Mr.. Bacon was riding
through Longwood one afternoon. as
a tempest was gathering, and he quick
ened his horses gait, in hopes of
reaching home before it should break
upon him. AT a short distance from
where he was he observed a young
lady and gentleman also on horseback.
coming along at a furious pace he also
noticed that the young lady's horse
was much frightened, aud her escort
powerless to aid her, when a crash of
thunder started the creature on the
full run. Mr.. Bacon dashed after the
party, A terrific gust Of wind seized
the lady's habit and enveloped her
head in its binding folds her horse
rushed on, mad with terror, Mr.. Ba-
con squirting his own in swift pursuit.

City, but did not like It. 1t is a poor
looking country, and he thought bar
rem. The place was overrun with
c%nllgrants already, and there was no
work for any of them to do. He saw
one family out ofwhich seven of them
had died. The emigrants in the win
ter were put ashore in the snow, and a
great many of them became sick and
died from exposure. Hundreds want
to come back, but have no money.
Some there have not had a stroke of
work to do yet, and they came there
in January. They are dying off very
fast, particularly the children and old
people. They cannot stand the eli
mate. Those who have their health
have nothing to start with. They
still hold to the belief that if
they could only get hold of a piece
of land that the government would
furnish them means TO start on it.
The st. Louis people have done nobly
by the ~emigrants, but the supplies
given them do not last beyond their

they are in a country where no sup
plies can be had for love or money.

difficult to get as far back as st. Louis.

Lucy Hooper's letter.
| paid a visit to one of those re-
Gently established and popular institu-
tions of London, a cooperative store,
and was much interested. The one
that | visited was'the army and navy
store, and was originally established Il
supply the members Of the army and
navy solely, and those only in
consideration of their becoming share
holders. Now anybody can enjoy the
benefits Of the institution by paying
an annual subscription of five shil-
lings, for which sum they obtain a
small ticket, which they must present
on making purchases or payments.
But as these tickets are practically
4 transferable, nobody ever questioning
the identity of their holders, and as
non-members can be taken there to do
shopping by the members, the priyi-
leges are indefinitely extended. There
are a good many of these cooperative
stores in London, all managed pretty
much on the same system. Share
holders enjoy the privilege of having
their goods sent home free Of charge,
and are also entitled to a share in the
dividends but in other respects the
subscribing members are quite as well
of. The store that | visited is a very
imposing structure on Victoria street.
You can buy anything in the world
there except clothing and provisions,
and by clothing | mean simply dress
goods, bonnets, shoes, ETC., for under
wear, muslins, linens, and hannels are
to be found there in very full
lines. 1t seems rather odd to
buy ones groceries in one room,
and ones stockings in another; to
price brooms and brushes in one de-
partment, potted meats in a second,
revolyers in a third, and lace curtains
in the fourth. The china and glass
department was peculiarly attractive,
and contained some exquisite articles.
These stores are springing up all over
London, and promise to effect quite a
revolution in prices. They form, in
fact, a desperate and efectual stand
made against the exactions of London
tradespeOple. Some Of the new stores
will have a department for fresh pro-
visions Of all kinds, and separate ones
are TO be established for the sale of
dress goods and millinery. The trades
people are, Of course, highly incensed
at this state of things, and have held
several indignation meetings on the
subject. but they and their exactions
are alone 10 blame for the immense
success Of the new movement. 1t is
hardly possible to get waited upon at
the cooperative stores in the after
noon, so dense the crowd, so the buy
er's only safety is to be found in going
early in the morning. The employees
are markedly civil and courteous.
which in itself is a pleasing change
after the habitual impertinence Of the
London shopmen and women, the
delicate euphuism of "salesladies be-
ing unknown here. By-the-way, do
the washerwomen still remain women
in America, or have they too become
washerladies?

his name was Henry Holder. He had
lived on Widow Newman's place,
neal Yicksburg, Miss; had been told
that the United States governments, il
the colorod folks would go West,
would provide them with food for ono
year, give them a certain amount OF
money, give them a horse, pillow, COW
and some land. lie left his wife Ia
